Photoshop elements not saving edits/captions

I am perplexed how to get my photoshop elements 4 to save my photo edits and captions. It has worked well for many years but something happened a couple of months ago and now it is not saving either my photo editing or captions in organizer...HELP!

DJ, My computer is windows 8, below are the system requirements for PSE12 - looks like it will run in 64-bit. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
No, you have seriously misunderstood what I said. PSE will not run as a 64 bit application under Windows. Even though you have a 64 bit version of Windows, PSE will NOT run as a 64 bit application under Windows. It will run as a 32 bit application under Windows 64bit, giving it a maximum of approx 3 GB of memory to work with. I don't know if that will make your problems go away or not. Please download the 30-day free trial of PSE 12 and see if your problems go away or not before you make a purchase.
From the system requirements
all other applications run native on 32-bit operating systems and in 32-bit compatibility mode on 64-bit operating systems

How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

Trial version Elements not saving as JPEG on Mac Pro?

Recently purchased MAC Pro laptop. Downloaded Photoshop Elements Trial. Edited picture not saving as JPEG per Etsy when I try to upload to photography shop. Always does on older computer using Photoshop CS-needed to replace. Will this happen if I purchase? Also have problems finding picture after editing on MAC Pro? I have had a photography shop for a long time on Etsy and edited using Photoshop CS without problems. But, I cannot afford to upgrade to a cloud - no real financial gain from shop But love doing it . Photoshop Elements actually does everything I need to do.

Hi princeprincess,
Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
Please tell us if you are getting any error while saving as JPEG.
Are you saving file on a network drive?
If yes, Please try to share on the Desktop.

I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

PSE not saving edited files to the organiser

For no apparent reason my PSE 11 application seems to have developed an annoying glitch whereby part way through an editing process it stops doing as requested in the "Save" options, by not saving edited files as version sets of the original file in the Organiser. The files are saved OK to My Pictures and I then get advised that a file is available to import and I have to import each one, stack it with the original, and put the edited file on top. This is driving me nuts as I have about 1000 photos to edit. What is causing this problem? My only thoughts are that I have c.30000 picture files in the Organiser (but this hasn't caused any problems in adding new files) and that the problem seems to have arisen since I started editing files directly from within an Album.
Help

It's the first time I see that bug mentionned in PSE11, but it's an acknowledged bug in PSE12.

By the way, there is no mystery in that technology : for serious photography work (on calibrated and commonly large displays like 1920 * 1200) the best it will be able to do is to be on par with semi-pro displays currently used for retouching. On the contrary, for displaying on smartphones or tablets, the resolution factor is important.

Now, in photoshop elements 9 when editing, colours displayed are not correct, seems gama number has changes ?

up to now I had no problem when editing photos with photoshop elements 9. Due to an unknown reason/event the colours displayed , now, are not correct : it looks like the gama adjustment has been changed and the photo rendition is uncorrect. If I display the same photos with other photo editing software ( DPP from Canon for example, or Xnview) , the colours are correct !!... Can you help me ?
Thanks a lot !

Thank you for trying to help me. In fact, I resolved my problem by changing the default ICC profile for my screen : I entered the parameters settings panel, screen definition and then advanced settings where I could choose another ICC profile.
Thank you anway !!

IPhoto 9 - Photoshop Elements 9: Saved photos not showing thumbnails

After editing iPhoto images in PE9 and saving them, I cannot see the updated thumbnail in iPhoto. If I double-click on the photo, I can see the edited version, but where is the updated thumbnail?
I read Old Toad's advice to set the file saving preferences in PE9 to overwrite the existing file, and that helped with the problem of having a strange file window pop up when I tried to save in PE9, but if there's another setting to handle this thumbnail problem, I haven't found it.

How are you doing this? It sounds like you might be saving as into the iPhoto library rather than correctly setting PE9 as the iPhoto external editor and then saving (not saving as)

Photoshop elements not importing iphone edits, reverting to originals

Apple support told me Photoshop Elements is one of 5 applications that import iPhone pictures that have been edited in the iPhone photo software as they are edited. So I downloaded Photoshop elements and attempted my first import. Sadly, the pictures reverted to their pre-edited originals, the same problem I've been experiencing with my non-mac laptop. Any assistance appreciated...

ok. Night three...
and some photos!
completed another uninstall/install downloaded fresh from the site.
downloaded the 6.4.1 update manually from the adobe site and opened it from the desktop.
get the usual;
i click on the red adobepatchinstaller icon and i get this..
meanwhile, all my .cr2 files are greyed out when in photoshop/file/open
Tried to open my RAW .cr2 images in the adobe dng converter, but i just get this..
get the same message when trying to open the raw file through elements.
and finally!
when i go to the actual file, right click and open with photoshop, i get
All this happens when i also go through the automated process of 'elements/update' to get the latest camera raw plugin.
It also confirms that i have the latest version (6.4.1) when i go to Photoshop Elements / About Plugin / Camera RAW

Any ideas, anyone?

Why has photoshop elements 11 expert editing mode slowed down considerably and always giving me a message that says the program is not responding

I expect your technician has already tried this, but you can restore a PC to a point in time that is earlier than the problem first became apparent (see link below for windows 8)
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/system-restore-from-windows-8-recovery-environme nt/
or it's

Any programs you've installed recently would be lost but all your other files and photographs would remain unaffected.

Photoshop Elements 6.0 editing woes....

Not sure where this belongs but it has "photo" in the title....
This is also happening when editing with our iPhoto...
When I try to "save as" an edited photo as a copy, It goes through all of the steps but just before I can save, it asks me if I would like to save over the existing original photo. When I answer no, it cancels the edit. I therefore cannot edit my photos in either Photoshop or iPhoto without destroying my original..
What gives?.
Any thoughts would be appreciated..
Thanks in advace

Rick:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Photoshop elements 10 saving question

I have photoshop elements and I am having trouble saving my photos as Jpeg's. I only see saving them as a DNG. I am new to this! Any help !!?

Not sure why you are being taken to bridge unless you have made a file association for all raw files.
You should be taken to Adobe camera raw.
The open image button is to the bottom right.
I assume no thumbnail is showing up in Bridge or a blank filename. You can usually highlight a file in Bridge and then click on the circular aperture symbol below the tool bar to launch directly into camera raw.
Click to view
You could check your settings by launching the Editor. On the menu bar click Edit à Preferences à Saving Files
Make sure the box is checked “Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for supported Raw Files”

What is the best motherboard to use with Photoshop elements 11 premium edition?

I'm going to build my computer by selecting components and having Fryes service put them together. I'd like to build a system with a motherboard that supports 8 gb RAM, and a 250GB SSD drive (SATA III) with a 750gb or 1 TB 7500 rpm slave internal drive or an similar 7500 rpn external drive. The system I build will have usb 3 and hdmi ports with a dvd rom 24x drive. It will have a Windows 7 premium home edition OS. It will have an Nvidea video card with 2 gigs of independent ram.
I'm trying to build a PC that works efficiently with Photoshop Elements premium version 11. I am a casual home user. I will be doing some basic video rendering of DVD home videos that I have converted to dvd from VHS and 8mm format.. I am NOT a gamer.
I have a monitor and therfore I'm only interested in building a desktop box with thease specs and I'd like to get the best quality componenets for my desktop build for $1300 or less.
I'm not interested in anything from Dell (alienware).
Any motherboard recomendations or criticism/recomendations of other components I want to use will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It’s really a personal choice. I’ve recently bought a new Dell. Like you I was not interested in the consumer products so I purchased a business spec machine and I’m very happy with it. It’s Dell Precision T3600 with Intel Xeon CPU and Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card. Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with 8gb RAM. I got 1TB and 500gb drives both 7500 rpm with a 3TB Seagate external HD. I gave SSD a miss until prices drop further. I don’t think the extra speed is that relevant to Photo editing although perhaps more relevant to video rendering. I’m also not gaming or running other apps that might benefit from an SSD. Photoshop Elements is a 32 bit program which runs well on 64 bit systems but cant use more than 1.5 to 2GB of RAM. Premiere Elements has 64 bit support and can therefore take advantage of the extra RAM. At the end of the day it’s your choice.

Finally it says, could not initialize Photoshop Elements, unable to connect to Editor application. I have tried several times to reinstall the program but with the same results. I have installed this same program on my laptop and it works completly. Thanks for your help

Photoshop Elements 6.0 / Editing using 'Adjust Sharpness'

After making the adjustments i.e., amount, radius, remove with Enhance>Adjust Sharpness and visually looking at the edits being applied to the image, when I then click OK, there's a few seconds of hesitation to apply the edits then the image will inexplicably convert back to be being unsharp instead of being visually sharp as it was during the adjustment. Why is the image not applying the sharpness changes as it does when I use 'Unsharp Mask'?
Using Mac OS X 10.6.2.

Appreciate, once again your quick response but my question now is where do I go to find / username>library>preferences? Is this in my Finder for my iMac or is this found in PSE? Did you mean to delete just 'Repair permissions' or all that was listed after your semicolon ?
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist

Thanx for your patience.
