Photoshop Elements 9 importing text

I am presently working on a scrapbook.  I wrote out some of the text I want as part of my journaling in Microsoft Word, figured out I needed to change it to a PDF doc, copied and pasted onto my page in PE9.  Worked great for three pages.  Now when I paste it on the page, it shows the layer on the right with the text but I am not able to see it on my page.  I've looked under all the layers and nothing is there.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have checked all those options.  The layers are all there (even the text
layer shows up), the opacity is 100%, and the visibility icon is on.  I've
tried everything.  I finally (I think I may have mentioned this) converted
the Word file to PDF and pulled it into Photoshop using it like any other
element.  The only problem with that is I can't make changes or add anything
doing it that way.  I also can't change the color to match the first three
pages.  That makes it so that if I want to be able to make any changes to
the text, I'll just have to type it all in again instead of using Word.
Thanks so much!

  • How can I make Photoshop Elements import files after it gives incorrect error code?

    I had 17,000 photos on my hard drive well organized in folders before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. I was able to get it to import only 467 into the catalog. I tried browsing, searching, selecting files and no matter what I did to bring inthe remainders (including trying to bring in folders with only 60-80 in each, moving files into new folders, etc.) and still can't see them in the organizer view. It allows me to highlight the folders or highlight the photo jpg files separately, says it is getting media, but then comes back with message that "files are not in correct format or are in the catalog" but they ARE in normal format jpeg, can view in other programs, and they are NOT visible in the catalog. Very frustrating, especially after wasting hours downloading the program from Amazon Marketplace - took hours, then had errors and had to redo twice. Running WIN 7 on 6 month old Sony computer with 8 GB RAM and quad processors. Thanks for any help.

    You should try posting in the PhotoShop Elements forum, especially if no one else here has a better suggestion to offer.  It is possible someone else has encountered the same problem and you could search there to see.  If you post there and you do have an error message, you should include the details of that error message.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 - Text Tool Crash

    I have a fresh install of Photoshop Elements 7 & Premiere Elements 7. I open up Photoshop Elements and start a new blank file. When I click on the Text tool the program crashes hard and locks up whole system. I have to reboot to recover.
    Does anybody know what is going on? I can't believe this product left the developers like this :(
    My System:
    XP Pro latest updates
    3 Gigs
    Nvidia 8800gts 640
    Quad 9550

    I have done the following today with NO LUCK in trying to get the text tool to work.
    1. I have tried the trouble shootting tips
    2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled without my AVG anti virus running
    3. I have unistalled my wirless logitech mouse and keybord (replaced with old serial mouse)
    4. I done the simplified load. There is absolutely nothing running in the back ground except windows.
    It always crashes when I click on the text tool. Any more ideas?

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Text Problem

    I am VERY new to Photoshop Elements. I was editing a photo and adding text yesterday.  I was going to make the text box smaller, and when doing this it ended up stacking my text ontop of each other. So now i have a bunch of garbled words, one typed right over top of the other.  I made the text box bigger, messed with the fonts, all sorts of things and for some reason i CANNOT get it to straighten out.... Please help!!!

    Still doesn't work. Keeps doing the same thing. Doesn't reset it at all. Still orange font (which i changed it to) and is typing over top of the lettering  *sigh*

  • Photoshop Elements 6: Text in Farben hinzufügen klappt nicht mehr

  • Photoshop elements 13 text issues

    Text is inconsistent and not true to the number sizes. 
    In entering text in a series of pictures, any single font size is not the same when entered on each photo.  For example on one photo size 18 looks like size 4 text, on another size 18 looks like 18, and another looks like 72. 
    Please help.  I need all suggestions.  Thank you

    You are not limited to the pt size on display in the drop-down on the type tool's option bar. Highlight the current value, then type in a larger value -- try 110 or 140. The text should come in on a separate layer; if what you see is not satisfactory, delete the layer and adjust to suit.

  • Photoshop Element 7 Text Tool Crash

    My PE7 always crashed everytime I try to use the Text Tool.
    How to fix this?
    Thank you.

    Try resetting editor preferences via alt + cmd + shift when on welcome screen and click Edit. Also check if you have not accidently deleted files/fonts etc/ If this is specific to any file then do share the same.

  • Import photos iPhoto - Photoshop Elements

    Hello,
    I'm using Photoshop Elements 12 trial version. I would buy it but i got one problem with the automatic import function in Photoshop Elements.
    On the first start of Photoshop Elements, it asked me if I want to import all my photos from iPhoto. So I did import all photos.
    In iPhoto my photos have been organizes like this:
    > April (folder)
    > Mai (folder)
         - Wohnung (event)
         - Exkursion Werder (event)
    > Juni (folder)
    > Juli (folder)
          - Exkursion Schweiz (event)
    But now in Photoshop I got this:
    > 20110908-192729 (folder)
    > 20110908-192733 (folder)
    > ... (and so on)
    Is this really the way Photoshop Elements imports all my photos? Do I really have to organize all my thousands of photos again?

    I wanted to use Photoshop Elements Organizer and Editor only and not continue to use iPhoto because it’s very slow.
    Do you think it would be easier if I just continue to use iPhoto as the Organizer and use Photoshop Elements Editor as the editor?
    Seems there is no way to import iPhoto albums and events to Photoshop Elements Organizer.

    First of all, are you certain you want to ditch iphoto permanently? It's not necessary to do that unless you wish. So are you sure that you no longer want iphoto at all?

  • I want to track the frame number displayed in the camera and match it with the ID of the photo in Photoshop Elements

    Since I may take photos of people and many in a row, I want to log the camera's frame number and have Photoshop Elements import that number or at least show it in the photo properties.  Any suggestions, please.  Thanks  I am using a Fuji Finepix HS 30 EXP digital camera.

  • How to import a text file created in Pages (iWork '08) to Photoshop Elements

    I am totally a novice at working with Photoshop Elements.  I need help.  I want to create my business card in Photoshop Elements with a background image and then a text layer over the background layer.  The logo and text was created in Pages (iWork '08).  Can I import this text file to Photoshop Elements and if so how do I do that?  I cannot create the same logo in Elements unless someone can tell me how to draw a circle with a transparent background so that just the outline of the circle shows and the background comes through.  Thanks for any help you can offer.  I have OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Photoshop Elements 6.

    In PSE, to draw an empty circle use the elliptical marquee tool and hold down shift while you drag to constrain it to a circle. That will give you an empty selection, then go to Edit>Stroke (outline) selection. A window appears where you can choose the width and color of the stroke.
    However, I'm not understanding why you would want to create your business card in PSE rather than in Pages or equivalent. Is there a special reason for this?
    EDIT As for the text file, it would be simpler just to retype it in PSE, since it can't be very much text. Remember that PSE doesn't do all the fancy things with text that Pages can, although it can do some things (like warping) that Pages can't.
    You could activate the text tool and use copy/paste, but you'll lose most of the formatting.

  • How to Import one slideshow from Photoshop Elements 5 into 8?

    Hi!
    Please advise on how to import one slideshow created in Photoshop Elements 5 in to Photoshop Elements 8.
    The customer is trying to do the same, but all he is getting is text captions, not the images.
    I tried doing the same on my station, but could not re-create the problem.
    Please advise. Any link would be highly appreciable.
    Thanks...

    Hi! Thanx for your response.
    It is not clear that he has imported it as wmv or pdf, but the slideshow has to be imported in such a manner that it can still be edited (Captions, effects etc.)
    Creating a wmv or pdf will not allow the same.
    Any Ideas?

  • Import multiple Photoshop Elements catalogs

    Hello folks,
    I just imported one Photoshop Elements catalog from PSE6.0 into LR4 using "File:Update PSE catalog ...". That worked well.
    As I'm using multiple PSE catalogs I then wanted to import the next one into LR4.
    So I switched to the 2nd catalog in PSE to make it the current catalog in PSE and tried to follow the same procedure in LR4.
    Alas, the menu entry "File:Update PSE catalog ..." in LR4 is now grayed out, so that I can't import the 2nd PSE catalog.
    That would make it pointless to move from PSE to LR4.
    Can it be that LR4 assumes, having imported one PSE catalog is enough? If yes, is there any way to overcome that?
    My platform: W'7 64bit, PSE6.0, LR4.0, installs in German language, PSE catalogs located in a user selected folder
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    OMB
    EDIT: I finally found out how to overcome that limitation myself:
    1. Close LR4
    2. Open LR preferences file "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs" in a text editor
    2.a You'd better make a backup copy of that file before playing with it
    3. Locate the "Adobe_successfulUpgrades******" entry - in my case it started in line 5
    4. Delete that entry; important: make sure to delete all lines of this entry: the ones ending on a backslash and the closing ",
    5. Save and reopen LR4 -> the disabled menu entry is now available again

    The CSH file simply stores a Custom Shape for Photoshop to re-use.
    By its nature you can only have one active at any one time but you can view them all together in the drop-down from the Options Bar or in the Preset Manager.

  • Unable to View .mod files in Photoshop Elements 11, can see they are there but no picture, I import them into Premiere and all OK ?

    I have hundreds of .mod files which are supported but I am unable to view them on my Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I cant see the picture icons as pictures or see the vision when i select them? I am running the latest Windows 8.1 PC with heaps of Ram and memory. If I import the files into Premiere they play fine?

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • If I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements, I can't seem to re-import it back into Lightroom. If I open the relevant folder on my Mac the image is present, but Lightroom just doesn't "see" it at all.

    For some reason, my (Mac) Lightroom 5 won't recognise images in folders on my Mac that I've edited in either Photoshop Elements or Perfect Effects 8. If I've previously imported images from a specific folder, Lightroom will show these as greyed-out images (as normal) but will not show other images I've subsequently saved in that folder. Similarly, if I, say, select three images from Lightroom to use the Photomerge option in Elements, the subsequent saved image won't be recognised by Lightroom.
    I've tried moving locations, saving in umpteen different formats etc., but the problem persists. No problem importing existing images from either SD card or old folders on the computer.
    It's very frustrating!

    Ah-Ha! Right, think I've worked out the problem!
    When I save a photo from Photoshop, I often place it on the desktop with a view to e-mailing it or posting it somewhere on the internet. I've just looked at the file that was supposedly saved as a .psd, but under "properties" it has no file extension. So I added the .psd and bingo, up it popped in the LR import window! I've since gone into Photoshop preferences & ticked it to add a file extension. That's really odd - I've never deselected that option but, hey ho, mystery solved.
    Many thanks for your patience Mr Paige, I should have looked at this before. Put it down to advancing senility...

  • How can I get Photoshop Elements to import photos that it wrongly indicates are wrong or in catalog?

    Had 17,000 photos on harddrive before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. Had them well organized in a number of folders under My Pictures. PS found and imported only 467 photos. I tried Search, Browse, and import Files; was able to highlight folders and individual photo files. When I clicked Get Media, it processed for 20 seconds and came back with message that "Files are not in correct format or are already in the catalog." In fact, they are in the correct format (jpg - able to easily view with other programs) and they are NOT visible in the catalog. I went into Control Panel and enabled the Watch service, listed all of the files that PS had not imported from, and still cannot show more than 467 of my photos. Very frustrating, any suggestions? Running Win 7 on 6-months old Sony that plays Blue-Ray, with 8 GB RAM and quad core Intel processors.

    This forum is amazing - thanks to all who responded over the weekend. For future users, some replies I found helpful: 1. allow a lot of time for the cataloging process. I had not realized it would be such a slow and incremental process but a day later it is continuing to add to the catalog - am now up to a couple thousand in the catalog, 2. turning off Organize and Stack visually-similar, and the corrective functions during the initial process speeds things up, 3. go into Control Panel, Administrative, Services and activate the Photoshop Elements watch function as soon as you install Elements, 4. it was helpful to repair/optimize, and 5. if you realize it is really messed up, uninstalling Elements and re-installing may work better than lots of little tweaks and fixes. Now if I can just figure out how to get photos ordered by actual date taken rather than random future dates that my camera or previous version of Elements 8 apparently assigned....
