PSE 8 editor not responding

After I edit a photo with PSE 8 Editor and try and save the edit, Editor goes white (not reponding) for several seconds then finally completes the edit. What is causing this delay?
Thanks,
Phil

In PSE editor under Edit->Preferences: check Performance settings:
*taking the cursor/mouse on each option words will display the description of that option:
Modify the default settings as per your needs:
1) Set the total % PSE can use of available RAM.
2) reduce the number of history states (Undo states)
3) Under scratch disks area in case you have more than 1 drive do check so it can use memory
from more than 1 drives of your machine.
After making this changes close PSE and launch again.
I am sure performance should improve. Let me know if you have any comments.

Photoshop Elements 10 Editor not responding

No matter what i try i cannot get the editor to open. Keep getting the dreaded NOT RESPONDING message.
Software has run ok for months before this.
Tried deleting the preferences file... no joy
Uninstalled software then re-installed having deleted preference... no joy.
Tried creating a direct shortcut to the editor .exe file ... no joy.
Surely someoneat Adobe knows about this problem!
By the way the Organiser works fine.
Can anyone help on this one?

Hi,
You may try the following things-
- If anti virus is running. try launching with anti-virus turned off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
- If you have a network printer attached and added as a default printer, wither uninstall and retry or remove it as the default printer.
Let me know if these do not work!

Inspiration Browser - PSE 10 Not Responding

Using Windows 7 & Photoshop Elements 10. Problems with Photoshop elements 10 not responding. Unstalled the Inspiration Browser and tried to download the update as directed. Browser still did not work & PSE 10 stopped responding. Please Help!

I'm out of ideas, then. It might be time to contact Adobe support:

If an agent is available, you can initiate an online chat session that might get you to a solution more quickly....

PSE 7 Editor not responding. Stuck in thinking mode for eternity...

Hoping for some help with this issue. Pleeeezee
I start in Organizer, choose an image to edit, click on the quick fix (shoot in Raw), do some simple changes, then if I need more fixes I click on Open Image. The Editor window pops open and then the thinking mode for eternity is what happens next. Sometimes the image does finally appear but it could take several minutes. Has become increasing worse lately where images do not appear at all.
Has 3GB memory, maxed out the memory usage in the performance. Just uninstalled PSE then re-installed it and still have the same issue.
Not sure what else I can try. If anyone has ideas or has dealt with this same issue before, please share.
Thanks!!

Please provide more specific info about your computer - processor (single or dual), OS (XP, Vista or 7), 32-bit, video card, etc.
You realize RAW file will require a lot of power to process. Using a memory-stick (ReadyBoost) may help.
Personally, I gave up trying to process RAW in PSE - switched to Lightroom 2. Only use PSE for editing work beyond scope of LR2 - like Panaramas, merged exposure, etc.

Eelements 10 "not responding" in editor.

Elements 10 in editor "not responding". Uninstalled and installed ... still same problem. Was working perfectly for 3 weeks until today.

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
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.
Solution 2:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\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.
For related post for Twain please see this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954743#2954743
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Thanks,
Garry

Making the PSE editor default for photographs?

I am using the latest MAC OS and installed my brand new Elements 10 software. Everything seems to be working well, but the default for selecting photographs to edit from my drive or desktop. "Preview" is the default program on my MAC and I cannot find out where to change that. Any suggestions?

Find a file of the kind you want to open in PSE, click it once to highlight it, and press command+i for the Get Info window. Under Open With choose the PSE editor (note that the actual editor is inside the folder lableled Support Files in the PSE 10 folder), and then turn on the Change All checkbox. You will need to do this for one image of every format you want to open in PSE by default.

PSE 9 Lasso tool - "Photo not responding"

I googled this before coming to the forum here. Apparently this is a problem for quite a few people with PSE 9. I was using PSE 8 on a trial, and I had no problems, no glitches. I can't buy a serial number for PSE 8, so I buy 9. The ONLY thing I need to be able to do with elements is cut out portions from my images. I only know how to do this with the lasso tool. Yet there appears to be a glitch with at least the download version of PSE 9.
What happens in PSE 9: with the standard lasso tool, I start to lasso the portion of the image - and after a few seconds the lasso line disappears, the screen drops down in order to create a line at the top of the screen that says "Photo Not Responding." Apart from the really annoying jog in the lasso now, I can no longer see the line, so have to lasso blind. It will continue to lasso - I just now have to do it without seeing anything and hope that when my screen dropped down I was at a portion of the picture that needed a straight line. This is amazingly frustrating.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
The only solution I've found is one I don't understand. The user says:
"I was running the files from my NAS and elements does not load the whole photo into memory but runs from its primary location. As soon as this was copied locally the "non responding" was eliminated." ???? I have no idea what NAS is. What I do is open a picture from a folder in my pictures library on my computer.
And I know it's not a problem with RAM - PSE 8 worked just fine.
Thanks.

I have the same problem...about 98% of the time I use that lasso tool....I havent noticed if its the same photo that isnt responding...it seems to "jump" or something and it appears another photo is in the background behind the editor workspace....
If you figure it out I'd like to know how...blind lassoing is no fun lol....

PSE does not open the editor from LR 4.4.......a big problem for a lot of people.

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 (I can no longer update back to 12.1). It made no difference, same error message.

BTW, I tried moving the Editor app from the support file into the app folder per fixes on this issue in the past.

PSE 9 Organizer Not Responding

I just bought PSE 9. I started tagging people in organizer and it seemed to be working fine. Now I can work for a few minutes and all the sudden the little blue Window oval appers and it says that PSE Organizer is not responding and it gives me the option to close the program or wait for the program resume. I can hear my hard drive working like crazy when this happens It usually takes about 10 minutes to recover. It has gotten to the point that it often stops responding when I click on any thing in Organizer
I am very unhappy with this situation, does anyone have any idea whats is goin on and how I can fix it?
I am using Windows 7 with 6 meg of RAM

Same problem, have seen post that suggest it is a problem with your catalog.
I have since had to make up three new catalogs, this is getting very old!!!
If anyone has other solutions, please let me know.

PSE 10 Organizer NOT RESPONDING

Organizer has worked for several months. Two days ago stopped responding. Got Adobe Tech support to help un-installing and re-installing, but no change. PSE 9 Organizer works OK. Thumbnails load okay, but when move slider or try to edit get "Oranizer Not Responding" message and screen dims. When re-installed settings change so goes to Organizer automatically on opening, so Home/welcome screen not available. Before re-installation tried tutorials, etc. and they worked okay. I'm essentially out of business on PSE 10. How do I get Organizer to work?

I just followed advice of others to turn off all Media Analysis and Backup Synchronization and the Organizer appears to working normally again! Many thanks!!

PSE editor pictures do not look like the origianls

The pictures on my PSE editor do not look like the orginals and most have a redish cast. I am having a hard time editing as I am not sure what the actual colors are that I am adjusting.
It is near imposible to work on people, i.e. complexion colors, etc.
Is there a setting I am missing in the basic editor?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Donburl,
The red color cast you are seeing is created by your color management settings, as suggested by Bshowell. However, the settings in Photoshop Elements under Edit>Color Settings are only part of the story. There are also system level color management settings, the main one we would be concerned with would be the monitor profile. This profile is a description of the color output of your device and is used to compensate for a known difference between the input and the output. However, you are not seeing a similar red cast in other applications because they are not color managed (meaning, they ignore the color management settings of your system). Most likely the problem is you are using the incorrect color profile for your monitor and it is shifting your colors.
A monitor profile is not necessary unless you a very concerned with absolute accuracy in your prints because it is the only way you can ensure the colors on your screen are accurate. But that requires a hardware calibration device.
You should probably just change or remove your current monitor profile. How to do so depends on your OS:
Windows XP: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/icm_change_ color_profile_monitor.mspx?mfr=true

Pse 10 freezing/not responding?

Hi
I'm following a Scrapbook course. When I'm attempting to assemble a page, I am frequently getting 'not responding' in the top left, and the programme freezes. What is going on please?

I am assuming that it is freezing but not crashing so might be due to performance issue. Please try some of the performance enhancement options here http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/tips-to-enhance-photoshop-elements-performance/
