Photoshop elements ruler,measure tool

I have photoshop elements version 6.
In order to accomplish certain accurate measurements, I need the rule/rmeasure tool that is supposed to be in the tool box.
It is not there ! Can anyone tell me where to find the tool and add it to the tool box ?
Thanks

And there is no measure tool in PSE, only in PS.

    Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    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!

  • PhotoShop Elements 9 Crop Tool is a total failure!

    I do a fair amount of work that involves a lot of croping, mainly for animation sequencing. The Crop tool Custom Height and Width settings do NOT WORK.
    I usually have a test image of the exact size that I work in. Example: 500 x100 pixels. This converts to 13.23cm x 2.65 cm at 96dpi. When I type these Crop Size requirements into the Crop tool settings box, I get a crop size way outside the size of the image that I want to crop. There is no way to set that size up yourself by using a test image as a template. In fact there is no way to set up custom sizes in the menu at all! I find this to be very upsetting as I have only just purchased this product. This limitation is something that I would expext to find in freeware, but not in a program like PhotoShop Elements 9. I have tried every conceivable way to try to get the Crop Tool to work to a Pre Set size with no success.
    Why is it that a graphics program will not allow you to put in a pixel x pixel measurement? That is pure stupidity on the part of the programmers and very poor work on the part of the testing team. No wonder the program itself crashes from time to time. It just stops running - ppffft! I have a state of the art 64 bit system running Win 7 with plenty of RAM and a High end Graphics Card, so I know that my system is not at fault - it's PhotoShop 9. I cannot believe the primative workspace and the lack of the ability to custom predefine tools. All in all I'm extremely unhappy with PE9.
    If anyone has had this or similar issues and has found a solution please tell me what it is.

    In answer to your remark I will go through the whole process again at a later date and re-post. It does not make any difference to the resultant Crop size whether you input cm or pixels. Here's a point for you though since you mentioned it. Check out the Ruler - does it look like the Crop is anywhere near 500cm x 100cm? Maybe you were so busy trying to find fault that you failed to see the forest for the trees?
    I only find fault where it exists - not where it doesn't. As far as Forums go, I am a member of a few Forums and have not had this sort of problem with answers before where the reply posts tend toward trying to pretend a problem doesn't exist or trying to prove fault with the poster. Hmmm.  Again I wonder how many of these reply's are from people with some affiliation with Adobe?
    I will finish by saying that just for you I will go through the whole pointless exercise again and make sure that the Pixels are indeed input.
    1. Opening File
    2. File Open.
    3. Resetting Crop Tool.
    4. Crop Tool reset and Measurement Boxes clear.
    5.First Measurement Input. PLEASE NOTE 500 Pixels Input!
    6. Second Measurement Input. PLEASE NOTE 100 Pixels Input!
    7. Third Criteria Input. PLEASE NOTE 96dpi Input!
    8. All Input Data correct and ready to Crop to preset Width/Height/Dpi restrictions.
    9. OH DEAR IT DOESN'T WORK! Again it fails to give me a simple 500x100 pixel at 96dpi Crop Box!
    After this reply post you may just get some idea of the frustration I am experiencing. As you can plainly see the Crop Box drawn goes to the very edges of the Image to be Cropped. Can you see the problem now? Maybe I should just go with my friend's suggestions and take a video of the process and post it on YouTube? Then go to my local Consumer Affairs Department! If you can find what I am supposedly doing wrong - please elucidate as I have followed both the prescribed steps in the somewhat Shoddy Online Help and also the suggested remedies posted on the Forum. All to no avail. It just Won't Work!

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Pen tool

    I recently bought Photoshop elements 10, and cant sem to find the Pen Tool. I know its stupid and simple but could someone tell me where it is?

    There is a Freeform Pen Tool (Text on a Custom Path Tool) that has some of features that the Freeform Pen Tool in photoshop has, but not a true pen tool per se.
    You can even use it to modify shape layers and stroke paths with some of the painting tools like the brush tool.
    I guess it depends on how want to use it, whether you find it suitable or not.

  • Photoshop Elements Help | Using tools to make selections

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/making-selections.html

    I'm trying to make a straight-edged rectangular selection with the Polygonal Lasso tool and I end up with an oval.  Feathering is at 0.  In Refine Edge everything is set to 0, and I've played around with the View Mode and Define Radius tool, neither of which I understand, but I keep getting an oval.
    How do I get straight edges which, gee, I thought this tool was supposed to do and which it's done the past 4 years I've been using it, until now.  And what it does - make an oval - why would anyone want that?

  • Photoshop Elements 10 - Marquee Tool not showing eliptical option

    The Marquee Tool does not show the elliptical option.  I am running on Windows 7.  I do not know if the elliptical option was ever there since I am very much a novice and just learning now.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 - Text Tool Crash

    I have a fresh install of Photoshop Elements 7 & Premiere Elements 7. I open up Photoshop Elements and start a new blank file. When I click on the Text tool the program crashes hard and locks up whole system. I have to reboot to recover.
    Does anybody know what is going on? I can't believe this product left the developers like this :(
    My System:
    XP Pro latest updates
    3 Gigs
    Nvidia 8800gts 640
    Quad 9550

    I have done the following today with NO LUCK in trying to get the text tool to work.
    1. I have tried the trouble shootting tips
    2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled without my AVG anti virus running
    3. I have unistalled my wirless logitech mouse and keybord (replaced with old serial mouse)
    4. I done the simplified load. There is absolutely nothing running in the back ground except windows.
    It always crashes when I click on the text tool. Any more ideas?

  • Photoshop Elements 11 - 'Flow' tool

    Hi!
    So, I'm following this more or less online Photoshop course on ctrlpaint.com. In one of the beginner tutorials (tutorial 3/5 to be exact), the guy uses a tool called 'Flow', which seems to be missing in Elements 11.
    Is there a replacing tool? Or anything relevant I could use?
    Thanks in advance

    The brush flow is just not in the tool options bar in photoshop elements, but you get it with keyboard shortcuts.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Marquee Tool

    I am trying to use the marquee tool and have selected rectangle and despite this selection I am unable to create a square or rectangle.  Initially the shape is correct and than it converts over to an eliptical shape.  What can I do to create a square or rectangle selection?  Thanks

    Perhaps you need to click on the elipse or ractangle icon (as appropriate). See this picture:
    The above window is at the bottom of the screen when you are in Editor as Expert.
    Good luck.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 Lasso Tool problem

    When making a selection with the standard lasso tool, the screen will jump and then the path traced by the lasso does not display from that point on. A "Program not Responding" message displays in the upper left corner of the display. When the mouse button is released, a slection has been made. This behaviour is consistant. It does not happen on earlier versions of PSE (8&7) loaded on this machine. Gateway SX 2800, Intel Quad Core Q8300, Windows 7 Home Premium, 6 meg RAM.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a fix?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I received a reply from Adobe in which they informed me it was a "Known issue". It wasn't a "Known issue in previous versions. So why is it now a problem?
    I find this very frustrating. Adobe is so concerned with their revenue cycle that they take a well functioning application and break it by messing with the code so they can release a "New" version every year. They offer one or two questionably useful features and expect us all to come running with cash in hand for their next great thing.
    I have a suggestion for Adobe for version 10; well maybe version 11 because I suspect 10 is sitting on the shelf just waiting for the rollout date. Anyway here are the changes I think they should make. Change nothing. Just keep it the way it is but release it with all of the sloppy code fixed. Deliver to us a properly functioning, bug-free application.

    My PE7 always crashed everytime I try to use the Text Tool.
    How to fix this?
    Thank you.

    Try resetting editor preferences via alt + cmd + shift when on welcome screen and click Edit. Also check if you have not accidently deleted files/fonts etc/ If this is specific to any file then do share the same.

  • Using the Tools - PhotoShop Elements 6

    Software is PhotoShop Elements 6
    My Tools functions seem to have stopped working.  The HAND selection stays present no matter what function I select.  I tried to use the earser function but the HAND selection is still there.  No matter what other selection I choose, the HAND will NOT switch to my chosen function.
    Everything used to work just fine as I am used to working with Photoshop Elements.

    You could try reset all tools - click the down pointing arrow on the left of the tools options bar.

  • FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

    What is a raw file?
      A raw file is the unprocessed light data that was captured by your camera sensor. The only settings on your camera that apply to this file are aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This means that any settings you may have applied to the file, such as white balance, or black and white effects, have no effect. Because this sensor data is raw, it must be processed or baked into an actual image file, that's where the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in comes in.
    What is Adobe Camera Raw?
      ACR interprets the raw data and makes image information out of it. But every camera has a unique sensor and thus has a unique form of raw file. Even though camera manufactures may use the same file extension each time (e.g. Nikon raw files are always .NEF), each camera model has a different way of storing information. Because of this, we must continually update ACR for new cameras. As we add new cameras to the list (over 300 now) we update our published list of supported cameras. Additionally, with the changes to ACR, newer releases will not always be compatible with older versions of Photoshop Elements.
    So, will the my raw files work with Photoshop Elements?
      So if you are wondering if your camera is supported by ACR or will work in Photoshop Elements, first check this list:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
      Once you know whether your camera is supported by ACR and by which version, check this list to see whether your version of Photoshop Elements supports that version of ACR or later:
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
      If your version of Photoshop Elements should open raw files from your camera, make sure you have the latest version of ACR installed. Go to Help > Updates to install the latest ACR release.
      You can also manually download and install ACR updates:
    Macintosh
    Windows
    What if my camera is not compatible with my version of Photoshop Elements?
    Supposing you have a camera that came out after the release of a newer version of Photoshop Elements, so that your version of Elements is no longer recieving updates, you have two basic options:
    Purchase the latest version of Photoshop Elements that supports your camera.
    Use the latest version of the free DNG Converter (for Macintosh or Windows)
    You can convert your files to the universaly compatible DNG format (the files will work with any version of the Camera Raw plug-in). See In depth : Digital Negative (DNG) for more information.
    Where are all of the tools and options that I've seen available in tutorial books and videos?
    Photoshop Elements has fewer tools and options than it's parent Photoshop. These differences are documented here:
    Adobe Camera Raw differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements

  • Can I use Photoshop Elements to create digital flyers for sales & marketing?

    Looking to create digital flyers to be emailed and used on social media ads.  Is photoshop elements a good tool for this?

    It's certainly possible to do it, but there are many other programs, like almost any desktop publishing program, that will give you more options more easily. PSE is at its best as a photo editor, not a page layout program.
