Photoshop Elements freezing on os x yosemite

I have updated to os x yosemite and now photoshop element freezes. How can I fix this?

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

  • Is anyone else having issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 since upgrading to Yosemite?

    this is a common issue, greatly discussed on the Adobe forums.  I was hoping that someone in the Apple community might have some information on this.  Basically, since updating my macbook pro to Yosemite, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and 12 do not work - they freeze or several tools do not work.  someone suggested a workaround - to use a mouse instead of the trackpad.  Contact with Adobe has resulted in nothing - they will not own the problem.  Several people have contacted Apple tech support - they will also not own the problem.  Anyone have any solutions or suggestions.  Adobe's answer was to purchase their new version of PSE!!

    Looking at the Yosemite forum, it is obvious that this is a very common issue.  You might want to post in that forum for help and advice.

  • Photoshop Elements Freezing on Attempt to Save to NAS

    Hi,
    I've just installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a Win 8 system and now whenever I try and save an edited JPEG back to the NAS, photoshop freezes, task status is not responding and it leaves thousands of ~psxxx.tmp files on the NAS.  Only way I can get out is using the Task Manager to kill it  .
    Been using Elements 9 up till recently without any problems so am now completely mystified? 
    I can save fine to a local hard disk however that really is not what I want to do and don't see what the issue is with the NAS - its a QNAP and solid as a rock and have been using it for ages.
    I can't see anyone else having similar problems and hoping someone can help?

  • Photoshop Elements freezes during launch

    I have posted this before, and will do so again. I am using Photoshop Elements 13.x with a Mac OS X Yosemite installation. The program freezes during startup. If I follow the advice found HERE:
    A Reminder for Mac Folks upgrading to Yosemite | Barbara's Sort-of-Tech Blog
    And then restart my computer, the program will load and function properly a few times. It might be once, twice... or five times. But soon enough I have to repeat the procedure. It's unacceptable and if Adobe can't offer support or a solution I would like to know how to obtain a refund.

    Hello? Is there anybody out there?

  • Is photoshop elements suitable for Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1 (serial no: W880806Qx85)

    I work with a apple mac (2007) upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 recently - I would like to add photoshop elements - is my computer compatible and will I be able to use this upgrade successfully?

  • Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with OSX Yosemite?

    I want to know whether or not I should install the new OSX Yosemite update. I won't install the update if Photoshop Elements 11 isn't compatible with it. I've looked online and I can't find any reference to this yet, so I thought I should ask. Does anybody know? Also, if it isn't going to be compatible, will my .psd files that I created using Photoshop Elements 11 be compatible with other, newer Photoshop programs?

    I've looked online and I can't find any reference to this yet
    Really? Try:
    Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10
    and
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-elements-hangs-in-yosemite
    for starters. So no, not entirely compatible. I would hold off on 10.10 if you want to keep using PSE 11 until at least 10.10.1 and then wait to see if it fixes the problems. In any case, the Graphic Novel and Comic filters have been making PSE crash since 10.9, so you'd lose those, at least, even if the other problems get fixed.

  • Photoshop Elements 12.1 hangs in Yosemite

    After upgrading to Yosemite, PSE 12.1 hangs the moment I try to use the "smart brush" feature. This is always repeatable.
    Anyone else having similar issues? I tried to open a bug at bug report.apple.com, but the site appears to be hung.

  • Photoshop Elements freezing new iMac Alum 20"

    I know a lot of people have noticed freezing with Leopard in general but we have tied it to Photoshop Elements.
    New Alum 20" iMac.
    After initial install of Leopard we experienced no issues with freezing. The computer was running great.
    Then we installed PhotoShop Elements (latest version bought < 1 month ago) and then the computer wouldn't last 20min without freezing. Removed Photoshop and reinstalled. Still Freezing. Stripped out Photoshop and computer is now running fine for the last 24hr.
    Anyone experience this? We need to get photoshop back on the system but I'm not willing to risk continuous freezing. Anyway to trouble shoot this further. I'm curious if its the Adobe Bridge application, the update utility or PS itself. We also noticed a drop in performance of IPhoto once we installed PS which returned after PS was removed.
    I'm defining freezing as No keyboard input, the mouse is responsive and moves but unable to click on any buttons. The only way to recover is to force the computer to shutdown with the power button.
    Mainly looking for any troubleshooting techniques for handling such a problem.
    Thanks Mark

    PS runs fine on my Mac under Leopard, but I've yet to launch Bridge since the update.... Have you used Bridge yet? I think it isn't compatible with Leopard, but PS is completely Leopard compatible........

  • Photoshop Elements 12 with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 doesn't run properly. What can I do?

    I have updated Elements. As soon as I start working on pictures, it stops running. I can't even close the program. Only via Task Manager. Any idea what the problem could be?

    Did you trash the prefs after updating to 10.10.2?
    Quit Elements.
    Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Re-launch Elements

    I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11:  the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK.  Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

  • Does Photoshop Elements 10 run on Yosemite OS?

    I have an iMac running on Mavericks OS. I am looking at upgrading to Yosemite but want to be sure that Photoshop Elements 10 will still run on Yoseite.

    Users of PSE11 & 12 have experienced problems; so PSE10 is likely affected.
    It may be best to get PSE13 if you intend to upgrade your OS.
    Black Friday on-line sales are worth a look as prices tend to drop during this period.

  • The Quick selection took is causing my Mac's Photoshop to freeze and has to be force quit?? Help

    Photoshop was been working fine for just under a year and all the functions have worked as they should but all of a sudden every time i use the Select tool (Auto select tool) it just just freezes and the loading wheal come up (only a very small part of the picture selects before it freezes). I then have to fource quit out of photoshop, then i can open it up again and it will just do the same?  I need a quick fix as i am doing Photography for an A-level and i need photoshop for my exam. Can anyone help?

    You should update your operating system to OSX 10.10.1 or better still the latest version 10.10.2
    After updating the OS it’s also best to trash the prefs.
    Quit PSE12 if its running.
    Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
