PS Elements 11 Editor sluggish with Mavericks

Since I installed Mavericks my Photoshop Elements 11 Editor is sluggish to the point of almost being unuseable.  Can anyone offer any suggestions? 
Other than my frantic Magic Mouse in the Organizer, PSE 11 was operating fine until I installed Mavericks. 

  The only thing I can suggest is to rebuild the prefs. Go to the editor menu:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Choose rebuild prefs on next launch. Then close the Editor and re-launch.

  • Updated elements 12.1 with Mavericks 10.9.2 STILL has SIGNIFICANT problems

    I have updated BOTH the Mac OS and Photoshop Elements to their latest levels.  I am using a Nikon D5100 running RAW + JPEG, and have approximately 25k photos.  Before the upgrade of Photoshop I would crash at random times.  Now I am experiencing freezing when I download new photos.  I always use a card reader, never the camera, to download the photos.  I am informed, by the software, that the photo downloader has stopped responding.  I can restart the process by forcing the downloader to close.  Then I freeze AGAIN when it appears the downloading has completed and NEF photos are starting to be processed.  At that point I have to force elements.  Upon restart the photos SEEM to all be there.  BUT the latest problem is a message that the index could not be updated. 
    As you can see I am VERY willing to try and get all this to work, but it is becoming increasingly frustrating.  The 12.1 update has most definitely made improvements.  BUT, there is A LOT to go!  I would LOVE to hear some constructive help.  At this point, how to revert back to Elements 11 would be very helpful.  Unless there is VERY SIGNIFICANT improvement Elements 12 is just not worth the effort.

    If PSE was installed before the Mavericks upgrade you need to delete your preferences. Details here - http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/.

  • Will This is a NEW Adobe Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10  work with Maverick?

    Will a NEW Adobe Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements 10 for  Mac (in OEM packaging) Full Version work with "Maverick"?

    I can't say about PRE, but PSE should be fine, except of course that photoshop.com is gone and you won't have access to any of the graphics content with a banner on the corner, since that's also no longer available for download.
    For PRE, you should ask in their forum:

  • Is photoshop elements 12 compatible with mavericks?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to get the elements and premiere elements 12 bundle but just wanted to check if it was compatible with mavericks 10.9.2. I've seen some places saying it isn't, but then other people saying they're running it on mavericks. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Stuart

    Yes it is. The problems people had arose because they upgraded to Mavericks AFTER installing PSE in a previous OSX version - in those circumstances they needed to delete their PSE preferences after the upgrade.

    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.

    Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
    Thank you both for the replies.
    I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
    I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
    I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
    Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
    And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
    I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
    Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
    Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.
    -JOHN

  • Does anyone know if Photoshop Elements 9 for the Mac is compatible with Mavericks?

    Does anyone know if Photoshop Elements 9 for the Mac is compatible with Mavericks?

    Yes, but it is absolutely critical to delete all existing preferences after upgrading to 10.9.
    I'm running PSE 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 in 10.9. PSE 11 has a slight problem (with a couple of filters) but otherwise it all works.

    There may be other software that is causing your problem, but the Blackberry software regularly crops up as being the cause of slow-downs or unpredictable behaviour. Try uninstalling it using the uninstaller that is hopefully available from Blackberry.
    Hopefully others will spot this thread and have some other suggestions. There are a few entries for things I've never heard of (not that that means much ), but there's a chance that they are not compatible with Mavericks and could be contributing to the sluggish performance.

  • Elements 7 issues with opening editor

    I purchased Photoshop Elements 7 last year for my previous computer, however i recently got a new computer. It is a Dell with Windows Vista. So I downloaded Elements 7 on my new computer and when i try to use the Edit portion of the program I get an error message that says, "Adobe Photoshop Elements (Editor) has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it several times. Can any please help find a solution? I will be angry if i wasted $100 on this program that does not work... Solutions?

    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:
