Problem smoothing out skin in Photoshop elements 13

I frequently smooth out skin in photoshop..  I do this by Making a new layer,  doing a surface blur,  then adding a mask (little square with a circle in it up on the top right) then do Command I to invert it.. then use the paintbrush to take the skin to the blurred look..   All of the sudden it isn't working any longer?   I'm not sure if I clicked some weird setting that is making it not take the bottom layer off?   Anybody have any ideas?

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Having problems trying to install the photoshop elements trial after download?

    After the download was complete I opened the Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 folder and the install icon had a black line running through it. If i double click on it a message comes up stating that its not supported on this architecture. I do not understand as its the Mac version I downloaded and my system meets all the requirements. Can you please advise. Thank you.

  • Problem with start up Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

    Tried to start up my Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on my MacBook Pro running on Maverick 10.9.5  it would not startup and this message popped up!
    Can anyone help?
    I need to use my scanner for scanning and Photoshop Elements to merge the pix together (usually magazines or newspapers for my client's PR Reports).
    Appreciate your help much!

    Hello Barbara,
    I had my Mac rebooted with a roll back to an earlier setting of three weeks back.  But I have been using the Photoshop Elements for ages. And it had been working fine even with Mavericks.
    I gave since downloaded the license repair from Adobe, but I cannot get it to work, as when clicked on the installer app, a window pops up to say that the power pc is no less longer supported!
    Am really stressed as I need to scan and Photomerge the mags and dailies for my clients.
    Hope you can help me out.
    Thanks!

  • Problem importing from scanner into Photoshop Elements

    I use Photoshop Elements 5 on a PC & am suddenly no loger able to import from my scanner (Canon MP990) & get the message: 'Could not complete the import because of a problem with the acquisition interface'.
    If I try scanning directly from the scanner, I get the message: 'Scanner is not available while in use by another application or user' . I may have abandoned a previous scan at preview stage without cancelling, but it doesn't show up anywhere. I don't know whether this is a Photoshop problem or a scanner problem. My troubleshooting skills are rudimentary at best - I have tried disconnecting/connecting the scanner & shutting down the PC - any ideas ?

    First of all, are you sure that you want to abandon iphoto for the organizer? You don't want to use both--you will have to choose eventually. If you don't have experience with Organizer on a mac, I would strongly suggest exporting a few photos from iphoto, putting them where you want to keep them and using File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to create a test catalog  to use for evaluation while you make up your mind.

  • I'm having problems installing disc 3 of Photoshop Elements 10

    I purchased Photoshop Elements 10 from a Staples store this week.  My system meets the minimum requirements.  The first 2 discs installed (although with some difficulty for disc 1) but I can't get disc 3 to install. My computer won't recognize it as an install disc.  It will either say it's a blank CD (not DVD) and ask what I want to do with it, or it offers options for downloading photos from the disc.  This happened with disc 1 also, but after removing and reinserting the disc a few times it finally recognized it and I was able to install.  Any suggestions of what the problem is and/or how to fix it?  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    because the third disk is for the Mac OS

  • Problem mit Panorama-Funktion von Photoshop Elements unter Windows8

    Hallo,
    ich habe meine alte Photoshop Elements 10 Version auf einem neueren Laptop installiert. Dieser läuft mit Windows 8.
    Die Installation erfolgte vor einigen Monaten. Bislang funktionierte jene Teile der Fotobearbeitung und Katalogisierung, die ich brauche, ebenso wie zuvor unter Vista einwandfrei.
    Nun wollte ich mal wieder ein Panorama zusammensetzten und da gehen die Probleme los:
    Nur wenn ich im Bearbeitungsmodus über Menü "neu" und "Photomerge Panorama" auswähle, erhalte ich sofort eine Fehlermeldung "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 nicht mehr. Es wird nach einer Lösung gesucht". Nach ca 2 Sekunden wird diese Fehlermeldung ersetzt durch "Das Programm wird aufgrund eines Problems nicht richtig ausgeführt. Das Programm wird geschlossen und Sie werden benachrichtigt, wenn eine Lösung verfügbar ist". Das Fenster muss durch Klick auf "Programm schließen" geschlossen werden. Adobe schließt sich dann auch.
    Ich habe das Programm bereits deinstalliert und neuinstalliert. Keine Veränderung.
    Alle Updates sowohl bei Adobe als auch dem Laptop (ist ja eh ziemlich neu) wurden gemacht.
    Kann der Fehler am Betriebssystem liegen? Ich hatte mich vor der ersten Installation im Netz erkundigt, ob Elements 10 mit Win8 kompatibel ist und fand entsprechende Infos.
    Freue mich über Hilfe!

  • Any problems using different versions of photoshop elements (7.0) and premiere elements (8.0)?

    I already own Photoshop Elements 7.0 and am now considering buying Premiere Elements 8.0. Does anyone know if I will have any version problems with this, especially with the Organizer? Do I need to upgrade PSE to 8.0 as well?

    1- A forum participant tested that slideshow workflow from Photoshop Elements 7 to Premiere Elements 8 and verified that it worked for him.
    2 - General Organizer use is probably an entirely different question.  I have not attempted that myself and don't know anyone who has. It seems doubtful that a specific catalog file could be shared between Premiere Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 7.
    3 - Since you mention that you are interested in upgrading to Premiere Elements 8, I recommend that you read relevant FAQs from the FAQ forum here, starting with

  • Probleme mit inkrementellem Backup bei Photoshop Elements 6.0

    Bei dem Versuch eines inkrementellen Backups wird immer eine Fehlermeldung eingeblendet "Fehler beim Schreiben" und der Vorgang wird abgebrochen. Das vollständige Bachup des Katalogs funktioniert einwandfrei.
    System: Windows Vista home edition

    I translated the issue in English, but no success to me as didnot get the question. I am posting it in English here so any one can please reply.
    Hello, I have the following problem with Photoshop Elements 6.0 (2):
    I want to pass around 1100 pictures on a USB Stic.
    About - Transmission - CD / DVD - destination drive will only select G: Optiarc DVD + RW. With an explicit "selectdrive" the choice is given!
    The USB Stic I need with me, but H drive, I would have to enter there.
    The 1100 images will take about 6-7 GB disks with DVD / RW I do not get there.
    When I say "Removable Disk Copy" will pass over the sort is not as in the original album, but separated text files, and the negative image files in ascending order, this possibility is so hinfälligweg.
    Question: How can I get my album without substantive change (permutation) on a USB Stic?
    Best wishes and hope for a speedy solution Klaus Peschke

  • Problem with plug-ins in Photoshop Elements 10

    I imported plug-ins from CS3 to Photoshop Elements 10 plug-ins folder.  Why do othey not show up in Filters in Photoshop Elements 10?

    Just as a guess... they are not compatible... you need plugins that are compatible with the program you are using, not something written for a different program

  • Problem with music volume in Photoshop Elements 12 slide show

    I'm creating a slide show in Photoshop Elements 12 and want to include several songs.  I'm on Windows 7.  I've worked with the songs in another program, DJ Audio Editor, to make them fade at the end of each clip.  Each is saved as an MP3.   However, when I bring them into the slide show, there's no reduction in volume at the ends of the clips.  The volume stays full and then abruptly cuts off at the end of the clip - exactly what I'm trying to avoid.   Does anyone know why Elements 12 isn't recognizing the fade at the ends of the music clips I've created?

  • Stacking problem from Migrating photos to Photoshop Elements 12

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 12 after my new computer program on Microsoft  8.1 would not support my old Photoshop Elements 5.  In Photoshop Elements 5 my 34000 photos were stacked.  All my photos were uploaded to the new Photoshop Elements 12 and now I have 75000 photos because they are no longer stacked.  I now have the original and edited versions next to each other.  Is there any easy way to restack?  

    You did not mention how you got your media files in the PSE12 catalog:
    - by 'getting photos and videos from files or folders'
    - or by converting the catalog from the file / catalog... menu ?
    Only the last solution restores your stacks as well as tags etc.
    If you converted the catalog, have a look at the 'Window' menu just left of the 'Help' menu; there is an option to 'collapse' stacks.

  • How do you smooth out lines in Photoshop CS5

    I have some black and white line art drawings. The lines are not smooth and sharp, and instead have tiny jagged edges. I tried using the smudge tool, and that does smooth out the lines but it also makes the lines a little sloppy. That's probably how the Smudge Tool got its name. Is there a way to use this incredible software to create smooth lines? I've learned how to create paths, but I can't figure out how to use the paths to change the line art. Maybe this is what I'm looking for?

    -Noel
    If I understand your question correctly then the answer is yes. 
    You can create an arbitrary path whose shape, open or closed, can remain editable throughout your session and it can be duplicated if needed.  That path can then be stroked with a pixel painting or editing tool. Lets say you create a new layer and stroke a path with a colored brush. You can then add a style to that layer, move that same path and add a different stroke on a second layer and then duplicate the path, move it and edit its shape and then do yet another stroke and style on a third layer. This is what I've done in the image below showing the stroke & styled paths as well as the vector path in the bottom path.
    Once a path has been stroked to a layer and has had a layer style applied it is only editable as pixels, but the shape remains as a path which can re restroked or moved or reshaped so flexibility is high.
