Problem with 16 Bit colour in Elements 10

I use Lightroom 4.4 to adjust/convert my camera images (Canon CR2) to TIFF 16 Bit colour  files. In Elements 10 when I try to use some of the tools to adjust these 16 Bit files I get a window stating :- "Could not perform the requested action because Photoshop Elements provides only limited support for files with 16 Bit colour depth. Do you want to convert the image to 8 Bit colour depth." When I convert I can use all the tools.  This is similar to Corel P.S.P. X3 - but in Corel P.S.P. X3 when you have finished adjusting the image and just before you save it -  there is a tool that allows you to convert the image back to 16 Bit colour depth.  Question:- Is there any way you can convert files back to 16 Bit colour depth in Elements 10 before saving.

Converting back to 16 bits gives no advantage, as Barbara said. You don't bring back the information again. It has been said that if you want to apply heavy edits afterwards, starting with 16 bits should 'theoretically' yield better results... I have tried to show a difference, but I have been unable to provide conclusive practical examples, even with drastic edits.
Note that it is easy to convert an 8 bits jpeg or tiff to 16 bits in Elements via the ACR raw conversion module. Open your 8 bits file in ACR, set the  menu to 16 bits (in the middle of the bottom bar) and click 'open' to get it in the editor. From there you can edit in 16 bits and save as tiff or psd if you want.
To open a jpeg or tiff in ACR , use the menu 'open as' and select the 3rd option 'raw...'

  • Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?

    Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?. Why does Photomerge Exposure not give me a finished DONE photo. If I open 2 photos, it will merge then, and when I press DONE I get a new photo file that I can save. However, if I open 3 photos, and go through the same process, the software analyzes the photos, I get a new image, BUT when I press DONE, the new image vanishes???? I can open the same 3 photos in Elements 8 and it works fine. any ideas please.

    I, too, am having problems in version 11 with Photomerge Exposure.  I can merge the 3 photos successfully with version 10.  In version 11 when I click done, I am taken back to the Expert mode of the Editor but the merged photo in the photo bin is not accessible.  When I first return to the editor, one of the original images (before merge) is selected.  When I double/click on the merged photo it doesn't become the active image.  In fact, any image I double click on momentarily becomes the active image and then jumps to another one.
    The merged photo is visible in the photo bin but I can't select it.
    I am running version 11 on my MacBook running OS 10.6.8

    Hi Manuel,
    Please check in update history if there is any updates for display card.
    If so, please remove it and restart the computer the check the results.
    If there is no related device driver update, I suspect that the udpates were not installed or configured properly, please perform a system restore back to when the IE 11 work fine, and try to reinstall them one by one.
    After each update, restart your computer and then go to next one.
    Let's try to find out if one of them cause this issue, and let me know the KB number of this update, I will help to research the root cause.

  • Windows 8.1 having problems with pinter selection using Elements 13.

    I am running Windows 8.1 with Elements 13 and am having problems with PRINT. If I select a printer from the PRINTER menu, Elements recognizes the change of selection, allows me to modify the printer's specific setting and, then, when I PRINT seems to not recognize the selected printer and print of whatever was set as the original printer. Then, I delete the "original" printer in Windows 8.1 and attempt to print again with the same general result except I receive a Printer Not Found error from Windows.
    How do I modify the "original" printer setting (seems to be associated with the file)? Note the "original" printer is not the default printer.

    Hatstead,
    Thank you.
    Yes, all of the print drivers are up to date (re-verified last evening).
    Yes, I can print and select the printer as normal for all of the standard applications I use (Visio, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Outlook, direct print from file (Explorer)).
    I shortened the printer names from the standard Microsoft convention (based on some of the BOG comments). There was no change.  In fact after the test sequence noted in #5, I re-implemented the "name shortening" yet again (shorter yet). I launched Elements and ran into the same messages noted in #5 (obviously, the "stored" printer did not exist). Yet after I went through the printer selection process (again as in #5) and, after a lag time, Elements redirected the print job what was the "stored" printer which was renamed....I do not know how Elements associated the deleted "Stored" printer with its old name with the newly named printer since no other application could (I checked).
    I have closed and restarted the PC numerous times.
    I have deleted all of the printers except the one I wanted to use for the specific print job. In this case, Elements came back with a message it could not access the "stored" printer. I then selected the correct printer, Elements acted like it was allowing to set up the selected printer with the specifics of the print job, and, then when I went to print, Elements again tried to redirect the print job to the "stored" printer (even though it did not exist).
    The target printer is a "local" printer (USB connected). The apparent "Stored" printer is a network printer. So, I deleted the PC which has the "Stored" printer from the network (actually not only deleted it from the devices on my PC but literally shut the PC down and disconnected it from the network (two different test)) to no avail (still got the test results in #5).
    Yes, I have attempted to print from the Editor (my normal mode) and from Organizer.
    I have copied, open a new file and, then, pasted the image I wanted to print to no avail.
    Is the a "stored" printer associated with the file or with Elements? If so, how to I modify (or dis-associate)?
    Again, thank you.

  • Problem with calendar colour categories in iOS 7

    We are running Exchange Server 2007 SP3 and Outlook 2007 SP3. I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4 connected to my Exchange account. When I edit items in Outlook and change the colour category, the updated item appears on my phone. However if I make a change to the updated item on my phone, the updated item appears in Outlook but with a different colour category.
    Here's how I can replicate the issue:
    In Outlook, create a new calendar appointment with the RED colour category labelled "Test 1"
    The appointment "Test 1" appears on my iPhone
    In Outlook, change the appointment "Test 1" label to read "Test 2" and change the colour category to GREEN
    The updated appointment "Test 2" appears on my iPhone
    On the iPhone, make any change to the appointment "Test 2" and save the changes
    The updated appointment appears in Outlook, but with two colour categories selected when there should only be one
    It's almost like the iPhone is picking up the colour category when the item is created, but if the item changes, the colour category value on the iPhone is not replaced with the new one. When the item is pushed back to Exchange, the category value differs from Exchange and is appended to the item on Exchange, thus resulting in two different categories.
    This problem can be replicated on the iPhone 5 and iPad 4, on every user account.
    I would appreciate any help on this one.

  • I have a problem with the colour on my photos

    when Iprint from my PHOTOSMART 5510 e ALL IN ONE the colour is all off what do I need to do thanks

    Hi jazz1, are you having the problem with all print jobs or just when you try printing via ePrint e.g. sending a piece of content to your printers email address?.
    If its happening when you're using the printer "normally" (just printing to it from your desktop or laptop PC via the driver) then you need to print a print quality diagnostic page from the printer software on your desktop to see if one or more of the colours is not printing. Checking the ink levels could also tell you if you're out of one or more inks.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • Is anyone having problems with the colour picker?

    I'm having trouble with the colour picker, I've got some type on a 50% tint of black, when I go to the colour picker and change the colour it still stays as a tint of black even though the colour parameters have changed. It's only when I choose a set colour does the display of colour change on screen, then I can change it with the colour picker as normal. Is this something simple that's changed? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago.   Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again.   You might want to clear your cache before reloading.  Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try.  Good Luck

  • Gantt Chart: Problems with more than 39 elements

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with Gantt Project Chart.
    Please have a look at http://tryapexnow.com/apex/f?p=2141:2 (credentials: demo/demo)
    If you limit to 39 rows this works fine, but with 40 rows or more the timeline is not in line with the datagrid.
    Strange thing is that as soon as you collapse all tasks the timeline is correct.
    Uncollapsing brings back wrong display.
    Has anybody seen this behaviour before and can help me out on that?
    Thanks for help,
    Moritz
    Edited by: commi235 on 31.05.2011 13:23

    Hello Moritz,
    the "Maximum Rows"-option is as default set to 40.
    if you created the chart by "Create Region => Chart => Flash Chart => ..." you can change this value in tab "Chart Series", below the "Build Query"-button.
    But I don't know how to change the maximum number of rows, when the chart is created via
    "var chart = new AnyChart(''#IMAGE_PREFIX#flashchart/anygantt_4/swf/AnyGantt.swf''); " in a HTML-region.
    I'm very interested in finding a solution.

  • OBIEE-Answers Problems with NVARCHAR2 data type elements

    Hello experts,
    After we completed the .rpd development and ported to the real-time environment, when we try to create requests in Answers of Presentation services by selecting certain columns only and try to see results, we are getting an error if the columns are of NVARCHAR type. The error is given below.
    This is stopping end users being not able to create any answers/requests. Please suggest how we can resolve this or if any specific things need to be done to solve the problem.

    Hello Damon,
    Thanks for the response.
    We have also tried to query the same data through SQL*Plus and it went well. We had no issues with any data. Also the .RPD is working in our local system with the same data, on windows OS. But when we port the .RPD in the Server (Sun Solaris) we are having problems with the columns which are considered as NVARCHAR2 in the database and VARCHAR in the Physical layer of BI.
    We observed there is no NVARCHAR2 data type supported in BI administrator in building the RPD. Is there any other datatype supports the NVARCHAR2 datatype in BI?
    Thanks,

  • Having problems with Spot Colour gradients

    Hello All,
    I have little experience in dealing with spot colours.  I'm trying to blend two spot colours for a print job.  Unfortunately the spot colour gradient (left image) does not blend like the process colour gradient (right image).  Instead they fade to a lighter colour in the center where they meet.  I'm sure someone out there can help as I think this is more of a technical issue that I am simply unfamiliar with.  Thank you in advance to all comments!
    Hugues

    Hello, i run into this all the time.
    What you can do is actually make one spot color overprint (or darken, or multiply) on top of another one.
    that will work,
    What I see you have is one spot color at one end  and another spot color at the other, where they meet you get the "grey".
    The 4/c gradient is a blend of the C<M<Y<K, inks.
    I usually rant over the fact that Illustrator does not have an Ink Manager, to make a swatch of 2 (or more ) spotcolors.
    As far as color gamut goes, 4/c color printing is so passe, right.
    Till Adobe recognizes that printers print with more than the 4/c color space, hexacolor, opaltone, optimized 7, and 8 we just have to improvise.

  • Problem with version sets in Elements 12

    I have just started using elelments 12.  I have been having problems with inconsistency in forming version sets.  Some sets forms as expected.  However, quite often after editing, when returning to Organizer the edited picture is not in a version set with the original and in fact is not even visible.  I can get to the edited version only through the "Open" tab in the Editor.  I have check the appropriate "Save in version set" in the save menu. Suggestions? 

    Seems you have the same problem :

  • Problem with SmartSound in Premire Elements 11.

    Hi,
    Here is the problem:
    PE 11 automatically installed SmartSound SonicFire Pro5 ver. 5.7.3 and when I click on <Use SmartSound> button,
    I have an Error message pop-up saying 'Unable to acquire Serial number for express track. Please make sure you are connected to the Internet and
    click OK to try again'.
    When you click 'OK', another pop-up asks for Serial# that you can't get since according to SmarSound website 'New serial numbers for versions of Sonicfire Pro less than 5.8 are no longer available.'
    There is also note that
    If you are using Sonicfire Pro 5.0 through 5.7.4, download and install the v5.7.5 patch. Sonicfire Pro 5.7.5 is compatible on Win XP, Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.
    There is a link to the download version 5.7.5 patch.
    I applied the patch and have the following entries listed in the Control Panel:
    - SmartSound Common Data ver. 1.2.0
    - SmartSound Premiere Elements 11x64 Plugin ver. 5.7.3
    - SmartSound SonicFire Pro 5 ver.5.7.5
    When I tried to run SmartSound through PE 11, I got the same error message as before. Nothing was changed!!!
    The last time I successfully used SmartSound with PE 11 on my old computer with Windows 7 Professional a while ago and had no problems.
    I installed PE 11 on my new computer with Windows 8.1 and working on a new project. Everything was fine (clips editing, menu, etc.) until I decided to add music through SmartSound.
    Any idea on how to make SmartSound work?
    Thanks. Lev.

    We have our working answer from Frank at SmartSound Customer Service.
    I have written this up as a blog post,
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE 11: SmartSound Error Windows 8.1 64 bit
    but here are the details of how to get your Premiere Elements 11 Windows 8.1 64 bit SmartSound
    feature working (it worked for me)....
    STEP 1
    Get A New Free Serial Number
    According to Frank from SmartSound Customer Service
    For now, any Elements users who need a free serial number can email us at [email protected], preferably after creating an online SmartSound account, and we can provide them with a serial number that way.
    STEP 2
    Entering The New Free Serial Number Into SonicfirePro5.Exe
    With Premiere Elements 11 closed.....
    Local Disc C
    Program Files (x86)
    SmartSound Software
    Sonicfire Pro 5
    and, in the Sonicfire Pro 5 Folder, is the SonicfirePro5.exe which is opened by double clicking it.
    Enter the new serial number to unlock Sonicfire Pro and apply all the updates.
    STEP 3
    Next, Applying Update Patch To Work With Sonicfire Pro 5.7.5
    If Sonicfire Pro less than 5.7.5, SmartSound is recommending application of the update patch so that 5.7.5 is in use. See http://www.smartsound.com/support/updates/?product=sfp5
    STEP 4
    Open Premiere Elements 11 To Find a Working Music Tab/"Use SmartSound" feature.
    Please let us know if this works for you also.

    Add On...Many thanks to Frank at SmartSound Customer Service for prompt and excellent customer service.

  • Problem with replacing colour in posterised image

    Hello,
    I am looking for help with a problem I am havng in trying to create a Warhol type poster image
    I have scanned in a B & W image as a tiff file(epson v750 pro).
    I have then opened the image in CS4.
    then used the poster edge filter.
    I have then have to clone large areas to clean it up (remove speckels to clean the image to get large areas to white).
    I want to then replace the white area (already cleaned to get it to white) with yelow for example. I have  change the mode from greyscale to RGB to allow me to add colours.
    I can select the colour replace tool and select my colour(Colour picker tool, yellow).
    But the image is not taking the colour. Nothing is being painted on the image.
    I have tried so many times. some times I am getting the replacing colour on only about half of the image (going left to right). It still leaves
    I thought thi smight have had something to do with the cloning action. but the half of the image that takes the colour has large parts of it cloned to white.
    It is not possible to clone the image before using the poster filter as there is no true white in it.
    I am under a bit of pressure to have this completed by Friday for a Birthday party.
    Any help greatly Appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    k.

    You didn't really say how many colors you needed to make it. There are a couple of ways to do this, some are destructive and others are non-destructive.
    I assume the shades of gray are quite distinct. The more contrast between the shades the easier it is to select the shades.
    First option is destructive - Select all of one shade, then hit shift-backspace both keys on right side of keyboard. This will bring up the fill dialog box. here you can select a color and click ok then the selected areas will have that color.
    Second way non-destructive. Create a new layer and fill it with the color that you want, createanother layer and fill that one and so on untill you have all the colors that you need.
    Now select the layer the image is on and create your first selection of one of the shades. Click on the layer that has the color that you want. Next click on the icon at the bottom of the layer panel that looks like a circle inside a square. You selection should now disappear and a new icon on the layer of that color.
    Repat for each color.
    If the colors are blocking your imsge which odds are they will be, click on the eye icon on the color layer to temporarally make it not visible. And repeat for any layer blocking your view. Clicking the where the eye was will make it visible again.
    The second way may seam more difficult, but once you have the selections done for each color layer, it is a simple process to change the color at any time or remove that layer all together or better yet click the eye. The point is once the hard work is done should you change your mind, it is extremely simple to change latter on. As long as you save your file to include layers you can change this any time later on. Both tiff and psd allow you to save layers.
    An additional option: if your image as a texture or other details that you want to keep, change the blend mode on that colors layer from normal to color or hue. You might even want to try out some of the other blend modes and see how they effect your image. Doing this step to an image with details will make it more beleiveable. In fact option two and this step is the way to go if there are details in the image as with out blending, or reducing the opacity of the color layers, it would look like a color by number.

  • Problem with bit rate ?

    Hi there,
    Using FCP7.
    After compressing a FCP project with Compressor and burning DVDSP with DVDSP, I realized that  scenes containing objects or people in rapid movement where showing jerked images.
    The slow motion scenes are fine.
    I checked the following
    settings for DVDSP burning: VBR two pass;
    averageBit rate  4,0,
    max rate 7,0
    1) the self-contained QT that I started with is not showing this problem.
    2) the m2v file obtained from compressor (I use preset setting for high quality compression) does not show this problem when I view it with MPEG streamclip
    3) I tried to burn directly the QT file  with Toast 10 …get same problem if not worse !.
    settings for Toast
    automatic re-encoding
    average rate 4,0 Mbps
    max bit rate 8,0 Mbps
    MPEG-2
    I guess my problem comes from the bit rate I used ?
    I am now confused and I am not sure I understood the impact of the bit rate setting on the quality of the resulting DVD, and I believe that using a high bit rate in DVDSP might result in problems for some clients to play the DVD on their player ?
    Could it be something else ?
    could someone please give me advice ?
    Many thanks in advance
    Ivan

    I can only think of two possibilities based on the info available:
    1. Old DVD player (choking on the bitrate spike)
    2. You need to set some compression markers around the scenes while in FCP. This would flag Compressor to pay extra attention to that area. After you output the new clip, I suggest you use the standard High Quality preset (in Compressor) for your program duration e.g., "Highest Quality 90 minute". Don't get creative with the encoding set-up. And ALWAYS used AC-3 audio.
