Photoshop Elements is already running...

I recently upgraded to version 10 from version 7. After I exit, I can't start it again: it says it is already running. PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe appears in task manager; if I kill the process I can start it again, but this is not how it should work. Is this a known bug?
Another problem is that Open Recently Editted File only shows 2 files, even though I've done hundreds. Under Preferences, Recent Open Files List is set to 10. Does recent have a time limit?

I found this answered under "Photoshop Elements 10 won't open once closed unless computer rebooted" It is a bug; the work-around is to create a short cut to the editor exe. Apparently there is a bug in the launcher app.

  • I own Photoshop Elements 12 already, but when opening the program..

    I own Photoshop Elements 12 already and have used it plenty of times since purchasing it, but when I tried opening the program today a box pops up and says that I have a 30 day trial of Photoshop Elements 12 and that I can start the trial or buy it. I haven't done anything different to the program except for installing actions, but I've done this before without any problem. I don't want to lose my second download (just in case I have to put the program on another computer and then end up having to buy it again if something else goes wrong). What could be going on and what can I do to fix this?

    It isn't giving me the option to sign in on the pop up. I even clicked on the organizer (which I sadly never think about using) and was able to sign in that way, when I clicked through the organizer to go to the editor after signing in, the same thing continues to happen-- same pop up telling me I have a 30 day trial.

  • Photoshop elements 4.0 running in Windows 8?

    Hi, I have a computer that runs Windows 8 and just discovered that my old Photoshop Elements 4.0 program is "not compatible" I dont know if I should download it anyway and see what happens or what..? I hope I dont have to buy a new program. Though i'm sure a new version is better, I cant afford it right now. I was hoping to work on my kids 4-H club pictures before Achievement Day in June. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi cljbkth,
    Photoshop Elements 4.0 is incompatible on Windows 8.
    Please consider purchasing the latest version PSE 11.

  • Will Photoshop Elements or Lightroom run on OS 9? [was: An upgrade or a downgrade?]

    I was considering buying my husband lightroom or photoshop elements for Xmas. He is currently using photoshop cs 8.0. He hasn't purchased a new cs because of the cost. It's out of our budget and he doesn't like subscription software. Does either program have any advantages over the old cs version. He mainly uses it to edit family photos and occasionally design a poster. Are there any other mac compatible programs you would recommend instead of Lightroom or elements?
    thanks!

    He is currently using photoshop cs 8.0.
    Which Mac and operating system is your current Mac?
    Presumably your husband has an old Mac since Photoshop CS is a PowerPC application which does not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs.
    So Lightroom and Elements (which require current Macs and operating systems) will probably not install or run on your current older Mac.

  • Will my existing Photoshop Elements 8 install & run on my new Windows 7 Pro/32 bit?

    For several years I have been  running Photoshop Elements 8 on my XP  Pro/32 bit system.  I recently purchased a new PC with Windows 7 Pro/32 bit.  Can I successfully install & run this software on my new PC?

    It may, it may not. Officially anything before PSE 9 is not tested or certified on Win 7. It may work with the usual precautions like turning off UAC and other security stuff, running as admin and possibly compatibility modes, but there's no guarantees. You should generally expect that there will be issues one way or another, even if only minor annoyances...

  • Photoshop elements won't run, eula agreement error

    This week one of our users began experiencing a problem with using Photoshop Elements 5.0.  She knows the application worked fine on her computer a few weeks ago, but when she tried to use the program today she is being asked to accept or decline the user agreement.  Once she clicks "Accept" the program then gives her the error message below:
      "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements EULA agreement has been declined or is invalid.  The application cannot continue and must now exit."
    She clicks "OK" and the program exits.  What has happened?  Do we need to re-install?  We work in an environment where we have no administrative rights on these machines and so we are trying to avoid getting the IT folks to re-install since they could take a couple weeks.  Please help us figure out this problem.
    Thanks!!

    This is a recuring issue for me, most likely caused by a registry cleaner. I can go months - as many as six without that lovely greeting. I have found no other way to correct it other than a reinstallation.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Editor running on Mac Yosemite will not process Raw files

    Upgraded MAC from OS X 10.6.8 to Yosemite 10.10.2  Also updated iPhoto to v9.6 in order to work with Yosemite (and iPhoto's digital camera raw to 6.03).  Raw files in iphoto are no longer able to be edited in PSE 11 Raw converter.  Raw files from iPhoto using the "edit in external editor" feature will not open to PSE 11 Editor.  Can open and edit JPEGS from iPhoto to PSE 11 Editor.  I have verified iPhoto preferences.  What are my options?  Will upgrading to PSE 13 solve problem?

    All those camera raw files should open in pse 11, provided you have camera raw 7.4
    (camera raw 7.4 is the newest camera raw plugin for photoshop elements 11)
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    If in the pse 11 editor you go to Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor>About Plug-In and click on words Camera Raw, which version does it say?
    If you don't have Version 7.4, then go to Help>Updates in the pse 11 editor to get camera raw 7.4
    Another thing to check is the iPhoto>Preferences>Advanced and ensure Use Raw when using external editor is checked.

  • Photoshop elements 11 stopped running at "Reading Workspace Modes"

    Have been using PSE 11 for one year with no problems. Have "medium" computer skills.  I ignored messages that time to backup images, due to busy holiday activities.  Now program starts to run then stops at "Reading Workspace Modes".  Is this due to failure to backup?  In an effort to troubleshoot, I eliminated other Kodak software and PSE 8 with no effect and the dreaded feeling I made things worse!

    Unfortunately, you are in the wrong forum.
    This is the forum for Photoshop proper.  You want the Ps Elements forum:

  • How do I create an Application with Automator that will open files in Photoshop Elements 11 and run an action?

    Here's what I'd really like the Script to do when I select one main folder:
    Look through all the subfolders, find all the PNG files and convert them to TIFFs, replacing the original PNG files.
    Open the converted TIFF files in PSE 11.
    Run an action on them in PSE 11 (which I already created that adds a white fill layer below the TIFF file.)
    Save each file in their original location and Close each file.
    Import them into LR.
    Anybody?  Bueller?  Bueller?
    If that's not possible, I'd love an Automator action that can convert the PNG files to TIFFs that can be viewed in LR 4.4.  If I convert them in PSE 11, LR can view them, but if I convert them using Automator, LR cannot.
    Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

    LabVIEW 7 added a property to get a command line argument. For older versions see http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DA5B56A4E034080020E74861.
    I'm not sure I understand you problem with the Run button. If you set the execution mode to Run When Opened from VI Properties, it should execute once whenever it's called. I think that when building an executable, it changes the property to this if it's not already set. If the application does not have this set, it will not be running at all. I'm assuming that you are talking about the Run button on the toolbar and not a run Boolean that you've created on the front panel.
    Since you have the app builder, your other option is to create a DLL. If you can call a DLL in Matlab, then that would probably be simpler.

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 10 lockup & run slowly?

    I have used photshop elements for a long time. I continue to upgrade b ut each version seems to run slower then the one I'm upgrading from. Elements 10 is so bad that I have been uising 8.  I use Windows 7 Home Premium, I have 4 gig memory. I do not have problems with any other programs. Any Suggestions?  Thank You.

    Go into the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure that everything is turned off there except face recognition (if you use that).

  • Can I get Photoshop Elements 6 to run on Mac OSX Mavericks?

    First of all, do you know if PSE 6 is even compatible to run on Mavericks?
    But secondly, if it isn't, is there any way it CAN be run?
    I have an installation disk, but I keep getting error messages saying "required resources are missing", I never had it installed on the machine before so I can't uninstall any previous files.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 is running very, very slow at times.

    At times, PSE 12 is bogging down. It can take up to 10 seconds just to complete a Smart Fix of a photo. At other times draging and making a selction can be like pulling molases. Completing the same operations on the same file in PSE 2 (my current version) is a snap, on the other hand. Any suggetions? I would really like to upgrade.
    FYI: I am running Windows XP service pack 2 on a Pentium 2.8 ghz processor with 2GB of ram, a 7200 RPM hard drive and a very capable  video card  (I run CAD programs with no problem).  No other programs are open when running PSE 12.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I can't get Photoshop (Elements 12) to run on my (new) Windows 8 computer?

    Just what I said above.  I bought Photoshop in December (2013) and now I can't work with it and I'm really frustrated.

    There is no way to "download the phone OS".  It's stored in ROM, and when a Hard Reset occurs, the device is wiped and the OS is reloaded from ROM.
    Since you have an AT&T Centro, there are no OS updates to install either.
