Photoshop Elements 9 plug in and Aperture 3

I recently loaded Photoshop Elements 9 (for Mac).  I had expected the plug-in to appear automatically in the Aperture 3 pull down menu.  Obviously I have done something wrong.  But what?  Advice please

In Aperture, navigate to the "Aperture" -> "Preferences..." -> "Export" panel.
There's a box to select the external editor (use the "Choose" button and select Photoshop Elements 9).
It'll also ask about DPI (I think it will default to 300dpi and I'd leave that as the default.  You can change DPI in photoshop at any time and it does not effect the quality of the original image.)
It'll also ask what format you want to use when exporting to Photoshop... you'll have two choices of each TIFF and PSD in 8-bit and 16-bit color depths.  If you only shoot in JPEG then pick 8-bit.  If you shoot in RAW then choose 16-bit (RAW usually doesn't use the full 16 bit but it often uses more than the 8-bit JPEG formats.) 
Meanwhile... back in the "General" category (still in the Preferences panel) there's a checkbox for "Automatically stack new versions".  I'm not certain if this is the default but I'd turn that on.  When you invoke the external editor, Aperture has to build a version of the file to send to Photoshop.  This will cause it to create a stack and put both versions in the stack.

  • I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

    Photoshop and elements 13
    Working in iPhoto
    Want to edit image using photoshop elements
    Did the following
    IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
    Also control click and chose edit in external editor
    Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
    Go to to the image I'm working on  --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
    I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
    I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
    I spoke with application technical support.  There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto.  However there is no support from Adobe.  I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

    You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

  • How do you overcome problems using Photoshop Elements with Win 7 and Eyefinity display?

    I have a 3 screen Eyefinity setup on a PC running 64bit Win 7 with 16gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 7950 graphics card and Phenom II x4 processor.
    I struggle to get a stable PSE10 to work on this setup.
    I bought a combined set of Photoshop and Premier Elements 10 and although installed it always crashed when I saved images with the error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working". I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 and decided I had to solve the Photoshop problem.
    I installed Premier 64 bit version from disk 2 and Photoshop Elements from disk 1 and then ran compatability checker. Under compatability settings for Win XP srv pack 3 it starts although with some toolbar errors and top and bottom of screen transparent instead of solid. I can save files worked on but then still get the error when I exit Photoshop Elements.
    Has anyone had similar and solved the problem? Tech Support said my s/w was too old and unsupported without a service contract.

    There should be no need for compatibility mode; pse10 is designed to run on W7. Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor. You can then launch the program directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icon and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

  • Can I upgrade our Photoshop elements 11 to 13 and download it to our laptop and desktop computers?

    Can I upgrade our Photoshop Elements 11 to 13 and download the upgrade to our desktop and laptop computers? 

    Hi Lute,
    You should be able to do that exactly as Jon said – although for the first time in many years, Adobe's Black Friday deals out for 2014 don't include any specials for Photoshop Elements...  It looks like they are focusing more on the CC product line with the offers.

  • I bought Photoshop Elements 12 (box - CD) and threw away the box. I thought the serial number would be on the disc sleeve, but it was not. Now I can´t register the product. Is there something I can do to get the number/code to activate Photoshop Elements?

    I bought Photoshop Elements 12 (box - CD) and threw away the box. I thought the serial number would be on the disc sleeve, but it was not. Now I can´t register the product. Is there something I can do to get the number/code to activate Photoshop Elements? Thank you.

    My guess is that you won't be able to do much if you threw away the serial number before using it.  The serial number will not have been externally visible on the box though... doing that would make it available for use by anyone who sees the box in any store.
    To locate the serial number:

    If you remain unable to locate the serial number you might need to head back to wherever you purchased the product to confirm whether or not you might have thrown out the serial number or if it could even possibly have never been provided.
    Beyond that you need to resolve serial number issues with ASdobe Support directly.  Here is a link for chat:

  • Have purchased adobe photoshop elements 13 from amazon and have been unable to find a 24 alpha numeric access code on box or on disc sleeve, need your help

    have purchased adobe photoshop elements 13 from amazon and have been unable to find a 24 alpha numeric access code on box or on disc sleeve, need your help

    do you have a white box inside the outer box and containing the disc sleeve/disc? In my case, it was on the white box. For Photoshop elements it is all numeric and starts with 1057.

  • Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown

    Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown immediately.
    Repeat and crashes again. Help it won't start!

    Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
    Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
    Just had to rename folder SLCache in c:\program files(x86) and reaccept the EULA and reactive. Now everything works fine. Way to hard.

    My suggestion:
    Read the help file carefully:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/workspaces.html
    Now have a look at the the organizer display layout. Just over the main display panel where thumbnails are shown, there is a drop-down menu to choose the sort order. I assume you are on a recent version of Elements? If you are on PSE12 or 13 you can choose the chronological order (ascending or descending), the filename order, or the import batch. Additionally, if you are viewing an album you can have a manual custom sort.
    My other advice is that before you use the organizer, you take the time to read this help file carefully:
    Elements Organizer Help | Creating and editing catalogs
    The organizer is a very power tool if you understand what it can do and if you don't have misconceptions about how it works. It's a powerful toolset  based on catalogs. It can handle and manage folders and files, but that's not its main purpose. Its ability to manage the information included in the exif metadata of your files and the important information you enter with categories, keywords, captions, notes, ratings or the way you include pictures in albums, creations, stacks or version sets is very powerful.
