Photoshop Elements screen size

Hi, I have a new Dell XPS laptop (screen resolution 3200 X 1800) and have recently installed Photoshop Element 10. The problem is that the Photoshop Elements screens are extremely small. If I 'maximize' the Photoshop screens, the page fills the screen, but the contents of the labels are still extremely small, so small that I can't read them. What can I do to get the Photoshop Elements screens readable. Thanks

Unfortunately Elements 10 can't handle hdpi displays. Only PSE13 can (with an update to 13.1); If you choose to update, download the trial version and see if that is ok for your computer display.
Otherwise, I believe your only solution would be to set your screen to a lower resolution in Windows, which would have the effect on all other installed softwares.

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

Photoshop Album to Photoshop elements File size issue

I have used album v2 for a few years, and only import proxy files from off-line media (CD/DVD) to keep the backup file small which makes it easier to keep 2 computers on the same page..(15000 image files = 6GB) I make a backup to a portable drive monthly, and restore to 2nd pc.. etc
I have converted the catalogue into elements 9 succesfully, and it correctly points to the relevent discs if I need the full res files.
My question is.. Can I do this sort of import in Photoshop Elements 9? In album there was a check box for keeping the files off-line during import and to name the disc for reference , but I cant see this in elements... Perhaps I am missing something obvious..
Looking through the dialoge boxes, I wonder if you import the full res file, then move/copy to disc leaving behind the proxy...
I am on the trial, and dont want to buy if its not what I want..
Apologies if this topic is listed elsewhere.. I have looked, but cant find one..
Thanks for any pointers,

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today. It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10. I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

How do I turn off Photoshop Elements Welcome Tour?

Everytime I start Photoshop Elements 8 I get stuck in an endless loop of the "Welcome to Photoshop Elements" screen. There is no close button or link. The only way I have found to get past it is by clicking on "Show me what is new", then "Start Tour" then clicking the right arrow until a GO link appears. Then it finally closes. I have to do this every time I start Photoshop and it is annoying to say the least. Any help would be appreciated.
A second issue is with the "Backup/sync". Somehow this got turned on, and it uploaded 2 gig of my photos to somewhere in cyberspace. Now when I start Photoshop it always nags me to buy more space online. Since backup just causes an hourglass when you start Elements, I had to go to the task manager and kill the upload/sync 32 process manually, then turn off the backup sync in preferences, but still the message to buy more space online appears. Also, can I remove the uploaded files? I didn't want them uploaded in the first place.
I miss Elements 5.0 already...
Thanks again,
Mike

Thanks Bob,
Unfortunately the window is modal, so there is no way to move it or remove it's focus. Esc / Enter / Tab does nothing, but you can endure the entire "tour" before you get to a "Go" button which ironically closes the form.
I believe the backup issue is compounded by the fact that I have Premiere Elements as well. What appears to be happening is that I turn the Backup/Sync off in Photoshop Elements, and the next time I launch Premiere Elements the Backup/Sync is turned back on (athough I swear I turned it off there also).
I did take your advice and just leave the backup on, but uncheck "Backup" for each of the albums except for 1 which has a photo of my cat, which I am OK if it get's posted on one of Adobe's servers somewhere. The annoying part is that my catalog has over 18,000 photos taking up 240 gig, and it takes the backup/sync page 1 hour to open, then another hour to uncheck the "Media Not in any Album" checkbox. 2 hours later, I think I'm in business.
By the way, I think it's cool that you and other people on the forum are willing to help out frustrated users like me. I appreciate it very much. : )

I have installed yosemite yesterday and photoshop elements 12 doens't work anymore: it opens, I can change doc size but no more... also screen size too large

Yesterday I have updated my mac with Yosemite since I try to work on PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 but I cannot go further than opening documents and changing size. Screen is also too large but with Yosemite no mean to adapt it with the screen menu...
How can I recover the photoshop tools?

Unfortunately there is no option in PSE to vhange the UI fonts (other than switching to System Font' in preferences. So traditionally changing the Windows display font size has been the only workaround, and even that can cause problems with individual menus disappearing and being replaced with a hard to spot >> drop-down menu.
If you have a dual-display system you could have the menus on the lower resolution screen with images on the hi-res.

Changing size of tool bars & icons in Photoshop Elements 10

Was using Photoshop Elements 10 on my windows vista with no problems. Just got a new computer with Windows 7 and moved Elements 10 with no installation error messages.
Just tried to edit some pictures and all the tool bars and icons are so tiny - extremely hard to read. Tried adjusting the text size to 150% in control panel but it did not change anything in Elements.
Is there a setting that can be readjusted - do I need to uninstall and reinstall with some setting tweaks??
Please help!!!!

You need to use the default, 100% screen font size in Windows to prevent problems like tool cursors and menu bars not displaying correctly.
There's no way to adjust PSE's font size or icon size.

The box in my Photoshop Elements, which shows the size and types of brushes has shrunk to one unreadable line. How do I expand the box to its original size? I have tried dragging it open but nothing moves.

Well, when you open the program, the splash screen, the window you see while the program is opening, should make that clear enough. For example:

How to resize images in Photoshop Elements so that they cover the screen on a widescreen tv?

I'm having difficulty resizing my photos in landscape
view so that they cover the entire screen on our
widescreen tv. Also, how to do them as batch
files. I have Photoshop Elements 9.0.
Thank you.

The picture has to be the right pixel size. If your camera can't take a wide screen picture then you have to crop each picture to the proper pixel size. What I do is crop with no restrictions. Make the width 8.348 inches and the height 4.696 inches and resolution 300. After croping your picture will be 1920 x 1080 pixels. You can now adjust to whatever size picture you want. If you do some investigating on the internet you can probably find various sites that tell you what pixel dimensions for any size picture. And also for inch dimensions. I hope this helps.

Photoshop Elements 10 - How to review the 100% size

this is the first time i use photoshop elements 10.
i am just confused when i need to review photos one by one,
no matter how big the size is ,the photo will show the size which is fit the screen.
i wanna know how to review the picture in 100% size.

If your talking about in the organizer, you can go to the fullscreen options and uncheck Allow Photos to Resize, but if the photo is bigger than will fit on the screen at 100% you'll have to either use the scroll wheel
or click inside the photo to see it at 100% view.

Photoshop elements 11 toolbar does not fit on my screen

I'm trying to use Photoshop elements 11 on my notebook computer, but the toolbar is too big to fit on the screen, and some of the icons are not accessible. Is there any way to reduce the size or shape of the toolbar, or to scroll to the icons I can't see using the keyboard so I can still access them. My computer is already set to the highest screen resolution. Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same problem, but on a laptop. PSE11 has been really badly laid out by the designers: I suspect they've been designing on their own large screens where there is plenty of screen area and completely forgotten the "portable" side of the market. IMO the toolbar on the left, dialogue box at the bottom and menu bars take up far too much real estate. I have a 15.6" widescreen laptop and the window for the image is unacceptably small. The "Quick/ Guided/ Expert" bar is ridulously large, and annoyingly mostly unpopulated which renders it pretty pointless!
So as much as I want PSE11, I won't be buying it. Sorry Adobe, but dumbing down this software and poor screen layout has lost you a sale (and PS is too expensive, so I won't be buying that either). I liked PSE10. I downloaded a copy a week before PSE11 came out. Unfortunately I missed out on being able to buy PSE10 as it was too late by the time I decided to buy it.
Oh well, let's see what happens with PSE12- that's out in about a year's time isn't it?

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen.

Margie
Thanks for the replies.
I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
Could you explain what you mean by
and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
More later.

Photoshop Elements 11 trial version screen too large to view

I cannot use Photoshop Elements 11 because the screen is too wide and I cannot change the size.
The tools are not visable since the Photoshop Editor brings up such a wide screen.
If this can be fixed, I would also like to know how to change the background color in a photo.
Thank you,

The minimum resolution supported by PSE 11 is 1024 *768. So if your screen resolution is higher than this , then all controls in the application should be properly visible. Even if the screen seems to wide then hover your mouse on the extreme right side of the app until you see a dragging arrow and then drag until it fits the screen
To your second question the answer is that there are many ways to change a background in PSE which depends upon what background in the image you want to replace and what do you want the background to look like. It would be easier to answer this if you can post a screenshot of the image .

Photoshop elements 7 pitcure opens in hugh size

recently every time I open a picture in photoshop elements 7 the picture opens in a very very large size & I cannot reduce plus it takes forever to open &

That's odd. On opening any image in PSE it always open in fit to screen size. If this is not happening for you then you might have to delete the preferences file as they might have get corrupted.
Launch photoshopelementseditor.exe with Ctrl +Alt+Shift press . That would prompt you to delete preferences settings file. Press "OK".
See if this helps.

I have downloaded the two files needed for the upgrade of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to version 12 but I cannot open them to make them run and install. What am I supposed to do. One is a very large .7z file just over 1gb in size.

How do I open up a .7z file just over 1gb in size? I have just downloaded this as an upgrade from Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to version 12. I cannot see any sign of the Akamai program on my computer that is supposed to open and install the two files that I downloaded.

Thanks Hans
I don’t mind mountain climbing but anything serious to do with a computer scares me silly.
I installed the 64 bit version of 7zip and once I figured out how to tell the computer to use the right application within that to open the 7zip file, the big file opened and I was able to apply the .exe file to get things going and installed. In the end the default location the installation chose was program files x86 which I think is the 32 bit folder but it all seems to be ok now.
Many thanks again for your response.
Cheers
