PhotoShop Elements ...Editing PSD files

My clients often supply me with layered PSD files. Their text is in a separate layer. I need to modify the text. Is Elements the right software for this?

What do you mean by 'simplify' the text? What I get has text on it's own layer. Is this text typically not editable? It would be nice if it were, because the mar-comm people are usually very sensitive about font, size, shadow, etc. Of course replacing it in another layer is also a workable option. Thanks.

All my desktop files will now only open in the photoshop elements edit page. How can this be corrected?

As stated in my question I tried to open a manual I have on my desktop and it opened it Photoshop Elements edit page in a thumb nail format. I checked and all my desktop items will only open in the photoshop elements edit page. what do I need to do to correct this?

Now that we have your post in the correct forum, I have a few questions, please:
What is the file format of this "manual?"
What OS version are you running?
If this is Windows (a PC), then what is that file format associated with in File Types? It is likely that the particular format has been associated with PsE. If that is not what you want, the association can be changed from the Control Panel, to link it to the desired program.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to edit PSD files on Photoshop Creative Cloud

Hi there,
I am new to Creative Cloud and just downloaded the Photoshop App to my desktop. However, I can't seem to find the options where I can edit my psd files. Can someone please help me? I would like to know how I can start editing PSD files on the Photoshop Creative Cloud App.
Thank you so much!

HI Resumeboston16,
Which version of Photoshop are you using? Photoshop CC?
You'll probably still want to save you PSD files locally to the computers hard drive. You can upload them to the Creative Cloud files page here https://creative.adobe.com/files through the browser.
Then you could download it on another computer to work on it there.

How can i edit psd files in PS touch or which software/app i need for androiud tablet (newest tablet)

how can i edit psd files in PS touch or which software/app i need for androiud tablet (newest tablet) @samsung

You can import PSD files into Photoshop Touch but the PSD file will be flattened. (The original, of course, will remain untouched; PS Touch just copies it upon import.) I imagine this was done as a failsafe measure since PS Touch has no support for masks or adjustment layers (not to mention that PS Touch only has support for about 12 layers).

Captivate edit psd file greyed out!

I have the entire CS 5.5 suite, Captivate, Photoshop, Bridge, etc. In Captivate, <Edit PSD File> is greyed out. What do I have to do to get Captivate to recognize the other tools in the suite so that I may edit source while in Captivate? Thanks for your response.

Hi there
I agree with what you are saying. Unfortunately, Adobe's policies are unlikely to change UNLESS they hear from enough unhappy customers. One way to voice your displeasure is to file a Wish Form/Bug Report. You could file a Bug Report stating that you feel it's a bug that the products don't easily integrate. (link to the form is in my sig)
You do have an option to right-click objects in the library and open them using any editor you like. Perhaps that helps?
Cheers... Rick

Photoshop not recognizing PSD files in my windows account but works on others

I tried browsing my computer for the default program to open .psd files, but when I double click photoshop cs6, it doesn't show up in the list of default programs. Please help, this is very annoying. Photoshop can open .psd files automatically in other user accounts, but not on mine.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up? Also any other files besides the pictures that I should back up?

Very important : your catalog does not contain your pictures. They are where you have imported them in your computer. If they are all under a master folder like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', you should set your backup software to backup those folders.
The catalog itself is mainly a database keeping all the information about your pictures : location, keywords, ratings, albums...
It's a folder containing the dababase and several other components. You find its location looking in the help section, system info.
The integrated backup / restore process in Elements saves both your media files and the catalog.

Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

Yes, if you have PSE 11 (not the mac app store version). You will need to go to Help>Updates in the editor to update ACR to 7.3.

How do I import into Photoshop touch a PSD file from sketchbook pro mobile?

How do I import into Photoshop touch a PSD file from sketchbook pro mobile?

I don't believe you can at this time. The only way to get PS Touch to import a PSD is to upload it to Creative Cloud first (but even then it'll flatten any layers).

Is there a way to prevent LR from reducing size (pixels) of files transfered to Photoshop as a psd file for editing?

The subject line says it all. I have discovered that LR reduces the size of files transferred to Photoshop for further editing when compared to the same RAW file processed in ACR in Photoshop. For example, a psd file created by LR from a 36 MB RAW file will typically result in a 100 MB psd file. The same RAW file processed similarly in Photoshop will result in a file around 300 MB. This makes a huge difference when the files are converted to JPEGs for printing. The smaller LR psd files result in JPEGs typically under 500 KB where the Photoshop JPEGs are typically around 1.5 MB.

Whew! I didn't think this would turn into such a long discussion!. OK - my error, spatial data not color. But that is loosing focus on my question. My objective is to get the best print possible from the final JPEG file used for printing.. As previously noted, for a given RAW file w/similar adjustments but with one processed in LR and the other in PS , a print made from the larger of two resulting JPEG files, the larger JPEG file resulting from only PS ACR processing (i.e., no LR) will result in a better print. Elie-d appears to have answered my basic question. If LR will always pass a 103 MB file then I assume there is no way to change this size. In case anyone is interested here is some additional info for consideration. Both LR & PS using 8 bit mode and 240 ppi.. Procedure in LR: 1) download RAW files from camera CD; 2) make adjustments to photo; 3) using Edit in External Processor, photo transferred to PS in PSD format, 8 bit. 4) file size around 100 MB (103 MB per elie-d). Procedure in PS: 1) download RAW file to hard drive with Nikon View2; 2) open file in PS - auto opens in ACR; 3) apply essentially the same adjustments (e.g., exposure, highlight, shadow, etc) ) as applied in LR; 4) file opened in PS editor; 5) resulting PSD file size with no further processing (i.e., no layers, etc.) is 310 MB). The resulting JPEG file created from the LR PSD is typically less than 200 KB whereas the JPEG from the PS PSD will generally be around 1.5 MB. As an academic question it would still be interesting to know why one gets different size PSD files from LR and PS and what, if any, affect this has on print quality. As for now I will not use LR to process RAW files. I prefer the larger PSD & JPEG files I get using just PS

Editing in Photoshop... psd file is huge!

In Lightroom, you can "Edit in Photoshop". After editing and saving the file, a .PSD file is created and is part of the library. Great. But the file size for the .PSD is about 5x as large as the original .DNG. (about 35 megs)
Is this normal? It would be nice to edit the .DNG in PS, and then the edited file is brought back into LR as a .jpg or even .DNG. My workaround is to export the new .psd to a .jpg and then import the .jpg back into the library, and then delete the .psd. That's not a quick or intuitive workflow.
Any advice?
Thanks!
John

Yeah that is completely normal. The DNG RAW file is typically a Bayerrized grid of 12 bit pixels. For example, a 10 MP camera has 5 million green pixels and 2.5 million each of blue and green. Uncompressed and at 12-bit res, that would take about 15 MB uncompressed and about 7.5 MB losslessly compressed. Now if LR's raw converter debayerizes it, which means that all color channels will be interpolated from neighboring pixels at every original pixel location, every pixel will end up as 3 (for each color channel) x8bit (if you use an 8-bit psd), which means 30 MB uncompressed or 15 MB compressed psd, or, in the case of 16-bit per colour channel about 30 MB compressed, precisely as you observe. If you want to send the dng to PS, you right click (or control-click) on the file in the grid view and choose show in Finder/explorer and then drag the file into PS. It will open in camera RAW with all your LR edits in place.

Photoshop Elements 4.0 files for update/edit using version 8.0 on WIN 7

Hi,
I would like to ask assistance for my software Photoshop Elements 4.0. I've been using this product for how many years now. I'm planning to get the full version of V8 but I'm wondering If I still have the access to pull out the files I created using my version 4.0 product. Please help I really need an assistance on this.
OS : WIN 7

Any success with your query?
-Garry

When I download a jpg picture to Photoshop Elements Editor the file is stored in Documents & Settings/My Name/Local Settings/Temp but I cannot find this location on my computer.

The pictures are attached to e-mail messages. I can get as far as Documents and Settings and my name but there is no Local Settings folder shown. Using MS search with the name of the file gives nothing. I use Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox. The file appears in Photoshop Elements and I can save it as a psd file but I cannot find either the jpg or the psd files to move them into My Pictures.

The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.
(1) If the file appears in the Downloads manager (Tools menu or Ctrl+j), you can right-click it and use Open Containing Folder to get directly to it.
(2) To be able to see hidden folders on Windows XP in general, try this:
Open My Computer or Windows Explorer
Tools > Folder Options > View tab
Scroll down and look for the checkbox regarding hidden files and folders and unhide them.
Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Any luck?
(3) By the way, you may be able to save the images from the email message to a more convenient location by right-clicking the links and using Save Link As. (Before you open them for editing.)

Elements and .psd files

Hi all....I recently paid a graphic design firm to create a product brochure for me. It was supplied to me in .psd format.
I would like to add some text, and a small logo to the file, then save the file as a .pdf type file.
Will photoshop Elements give me this ability? or do I need to purchase the full Photoshop program.
This brochure will be customized and edited over and over again by me, so I need the ability to edit it in house rather than just paying him to miodify it for me every time.
thanx in advance
shane

Great - i will confirm with the deiginer whether or not the file contains CMYK / composite laters.
Also....I can't seem to download the trial version....in the past, I had downloaded a trial version of Photoshop....now when I try to download the Element trial, it doesn't work...it keeps sending me to a "Purchase now" page for the full Photoshop program...frustrating actually. That's why I resorted to posting the question here.
Thanx for your help by the way,
shane
