PLEASE HELP! Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 editor won't open!!

Hi! I'm new to the forums and to Adobe. So, I'm a little clueless about all this stuff.
WELL
everytime I click my Photoshop icon the welcome screen appears and the editor begins to load.
However, the screen doesn't pop up at all. Just the welcome screen. It just shows the Photoshop Elements editor's small window on the bottom of my screen. I click on it and the editor doesn't show up at all.
It did this a couple of times before. But, now the editor isn't showing.
My organizer works just fine, but I'm wondering if I can somehow open Photoshop's editor on the organizer?
If you could please PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME and reply as soon as possible! I would love to draw and color on Photoshop again as soon as I have fix this problem!
Thank you so much!

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and Editor and that will bypass the welcome screen and any advertising.
On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.
You can keep the standard Photoshop icon which links to the welcome screen but I prefer to delete it from the desktop. If you ever need to get to the welcome screen you simply click Window >>Welcome on the top menu when the application is open.

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

Adobe Photoshop 7 [editor] won't open for me.

Hello,
About a month ago I bought Adobe Photoshop elements 7. I recently began using it, but when ever i try and open up the editor to edit my photo's, a message pops up. It says: "Adobe Photoshop elements [editor] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
I really dont know what to do to fix this problem. Help? Please?

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 won't open

It worked fine from the day of buying until today. I clicked the link in All Programs as usual and it opened onto the welcome page but none of the options will work at all.
I use Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3 with an AMD Athlon (rm) 64 x 2 Dual Core Pricessor 6000+ 3.02GHz, with 3.00GB RAM

Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
Alternatively,
Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall.
try and let me know your comments.

Photoshop Elements Editor won't open

I have been using Photoshop Elements since July without any problems. Now the Oraganizer will open but the editor will not. How can I fix this?

We badly need to have a consolidated thread for the many victims of this problem. PSE 10, 11, 12 (Windows) at least. Organizer loads, Editor does not. The way this forum is set up, you wouldn't see it unless you have been following for some time as I have. [PSE 10 victim].
I don't know who first got the idea that clearing prefs was a solution. It does not work for us.
I thought the forum revisions might make it easier to see all the posts about this common problem. They don't!
But now, thanks to taziers, "I was on the phone with tech support for 3 hours with no success and I was told this was a flaw with adobe Photoshop."
So I have been wasting all the time I've spent on fixing? Wait for a patch, if ever. .?? . .TBC

"Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor quit unexpectedly." - HELP!

Someone please help! I am so beyond frustrated...especially because it seems like getting to talk to someone on the phone is next to impossible. When I double click to open my raw files I get a message that says "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor quit unexpectedly." I have a Mac computer and I've never had this issue. I can open jpeg images in Elements. Please help! Thanks friends.

If your program is Photoshop Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. Your thread somehow has gotten posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

created by Barbara B. in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussionIf the problem is with the Graphic Novel or Comic filter, those don't work in PSE 11 any version of OS X after 10.7, IIRC. For other filters, did you delete all your existing preferences on upgrading to 10.10?

adobe photoshop elements 11 won't read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.
why?
need help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Zach.
Sorry to say but Elements 12 came out several months before your camera. Adobe stops updating camera raw files for old software editions so that people have to buy new versions of the software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.
There are works rounds but they are a lot of extra steps and I think you would be converting the files to Some format other than RAW (tiff?) and which I am not sure will perform the same.
I think you just need to get a newer version of Elements.

Photoshop Elements 11 won't open on new computer

I recently purchased a new iMac and transferred all my software to it from my old computer. Photoshop elements will not open. The dialog box says "Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop elements Editor works with this version of OS X. you may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
My version is 10.8.4. The "Read Me" file says it requires 10.6 through 10.8.
So I attempted to uninstall it and reinstall.
When I tried to uninstall I got a message that said it could not be uninstalled due to an error. I followed the directions to restart and try again... and again. Same message. At the bottom of the message was another saying if that didn't work to use a link to some Adobe "cleaner". When I clicked to download the "cleaner" I got a message that I had to UNINSTALL the Elements program before using it.
Are they trying to make me crazy?
Next I tried to install Elements from the original disk and got this message: "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." Huh?
I just want to do a photo project as a gift for my parents. Can anybody help me with this technical odyssey?
Many thanks.

Photoshop elements editor does not open

I had photoshop elements 12 for windows working fine on windows 7 professional 64 bit . Then recently attempted to install the12.1 upgrade which failed with the usual lack of any useful information.
I removed elements, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, ran the update successfully, rebooted and now, as has been since the upgrade attempt, the editor won't start. If I right click a photo in the organizer and pick edit, I get a message "Loading the Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace..." for a couple of minutes, the message disappears, and no editor appears.
How do I diagnose and fix?

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

Photoshop Elements editor does not open from Lightroom edit command

I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5. My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it. When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......". In the details is this line:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
Reason: image not found
I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know. I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0. It made no difference, same error message.

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

You are rude, to say the least. It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible. Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe. The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with. I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.
