PSE 9 - 9.0.3 update

I installed the 9.0.3 update because I could not find an option to uncheck it from the Updater.  Since installing it, PSE 9 will no longer open images in floating documents, which is my preference.  Now I have to drag each image tab to get them to float.  I found this reference on "Barbara's Sort of Tech Blog" (http://barbarabrundage.com/):
"If you use Photoshop Elements 9, you’ve probably gotten a nag from  the Adobe Updater to install the new 9.0.3 update. However, you may want  to think twice about whether or not you want to do this. The update  does include some bug fixes and supposedly some improvements for using  graphics tablets with PSE, but it also brings one feature that you may  not want.
If you’ve been using floating windows for your images, once you apply  this update all images will now open in tabs and you’ll have to rip  them loose to have them floating again. Every time. Always.
Adobe says:
“In PSE 9, by default behavior if the preference ‘Allow floating  Documents in Full Edit Mode’ was checked then the files use to open as  floating windows.
In PSE 9.0.3 update, we have changed the behavior that in such a  settings the files will open in tabbed view but you can still grab the  tab through mouse and pull it out and thus will be able to make it  floating window. This was done based on some user feedback.”
So you’re warned. I myself totally don’t believe in the existence of  this supposed user, and even if there were such a person (and there  can’t possibly be more than one who would want this), it’s just plain  silly to change program behavior that isn’t a bug with an update like  this.
If you have applied the update and you want to get rid of it, you’ll  need to uninstall Elements 9 (this won’t affect your catalog or your  photos if you use Organizer) via Control Panel (Windows) or with the  uninstaller in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 9."
My hope is that Adobe will provide a fix for this that does not require that the program be uninstalled and then re-installed.  I could not find anywhere on the Adobe site where I could provide feedback, so am doing so here.

Here is the link for feature requests.
I'm sure it will work even for removed features.

  • I downloaded and installed PSE 9.0.3 update. The message I received was "unable to install".

    I downloaded and installed PSE 9.0.3 update. The message I received was "unable to install". This has happed a couple of times. What do I do to install the updates?

    You may need to uninstall PSE and all other Adobe programs on the system, scrap the installer database and start over. Update failures most of the time point to blockages in the installer database due to version conflicts ov newer components vs. your "old" program. If the update doesn't add or fix anything that would be essential for you, then jsut leave everything as is and spend the time with nicer things...

  • Adobe PSE Elements 9.0 Update of 9.0.3 Failed: "Some updates failed." "Patch cannot be applied."

    Greetings, I appreciate your help. I am brand new with PSE but I am AMAZED Adobe Chat does NOT support when one of their own updates failed to install. Amazed! So, here I am.
    I downloaded and installed the latest update, 9.0.3, just now on May 10, 2012. It failed saying Patch can not be installed. I have NOT a CLUE where to go from here. Can anyone PLEASE either help me directly OR direct me to someone or a resource who can?
    Thank you.

    Barbara,
    Thank you. My initial response to your comment was, "I don't have a clue what you mean by "floating windows." HOWEVER,I took your link and read your posted article. I now understand the context which is sufficient for now. I am truly a brand NEW user that has NOT used PSE 9.0 AT ALL. It came on my new Dell PC and I've done nothing beyond registering it UNTIL today when the update showed up. I figured my PC was "on the shelf" a few months between manufacture and delivery so I've been accepting updates for much of what came pre-installed. NOW, HOWEVER, THANKFULLY you have alerted me to some Tom Foolery going on with the product.
    Question: since I got an error during install of 9.0.3 should I consider it INSTALLED or should I proceed and ignore this little charade even happened since it would not have installed?  If I need to reinstall, I will wait for your advice, then I have a CD or DVD that Dell shipped with my PC. Should I use that? The link you give in your posted article, is the link to download to reinstall 9.0 or is that for something else, like support?
    I am sorry I am so naive with Adobe 9.0. Yet, it is this naivete that makes me ever so much more grateful for your jumping to my situation.
    Thank you,
    Toad

  • Pse crashing after database update.

    hi there. some help would be amazing. i am kind of in panic mode to be honest.
    my program is pse8 running on a PC with windows 7 (64 bit operating system)
    i was having a hard time installing my photo actions, so i purchased graffi's add-o-matic.
    i hated it because it would just insert a generic image where the thumbnails would be, so i never knew what action i was using until i hovered over it.
    so, i googled, found out how to add photo actions manually. then i went in and deleted all of the ones add-o-matic had done before, got rid of the thumbnails and re-installed all my actions manually.
    some of them looked great. the correct thumbnails were there, etc. more than half, however, did not look right. they were still showing add-o-matic's generic thumbnail or no thumbnail at all- just a black box where the action button would be.
    i emailed the creator of the add-o-matic and he directed me to a workshop on his site about how to rebuild your database.
    i did this:
    Sometimes, though, something has blocked the database from finishing its update (you started working too soon while the database is still rebuilding in the background is the most common reason).  Sometimes you simply have to manually force a rebuild of the database.  It's fairly simple to do, but it does take a good 15 or 20 minutes to complete. Here's how to do that in Photoshop Elements:
    (By the way, the file paths below are for Windows 7 & Vista - if you're using XP, substitute C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data  for everywhere you see C:\Program Data\ )
    Turn on hidden folders' visibility first by clicking Start>Control Panel>Folder Options, and choose the View tab. Scroll down to the section concerning viewing hidden files and folders, and toggle it ON. Click OK enough times to exit that dialog.
    Then navigate to C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\#.#
    and locate the file "ThumbDatabase.db3"  - rename it "ThumbDatabase.db3.OLD".
    Next, navigate to 
    C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\#.#\Locale\en_US
    and rename the database file there, too, from "MediaDatabase.db3" to "MediaDatabase.db3.OLD"
    *Quit all other programs (email, web browser, etc.) and restart Elements.
    Your entire database will be rebuilt, and this will take a bit of time (around 15 ~ 20 minutes or so, maybe a bit more or less depending on your computer's speed, how many other utilities are running, how much stuff you've added to Elements, etc.)
    When it finishes, restart Elements again, and all your menus should appear populated.
    then when i went to open pse again, it just keeps crashing over and over and over.
    i have uninstalled and reinstalled. cleaned it up with a registry cleaner, etc and i cannot get pse to stop crashing.
    can someone please help me. this is so horrible!
    thank you!

    Go to http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html and start with Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch. Also, read Installing software updates before doing any more updates. I normally would say boot into your bootable backup, erase the volume you updated, and reinstall, but I don't get the inkling that you have one.

  • PSE 11 Organizer automatic update

    Has anyone out there had a problem with the PSE 11 Organizer starting an automatic update when you open the program?  This happens even when I have just minimized the screen and left the Organizer open.  Yesterday it remained in the update status for more than six hours during which time PSE 11 was frozen and I couldn't do anything in it.  I finally had to terminate the program with the task manager, shut down my computer and start all over again.  I'm beginning to get annoyed and would really appreciate hearing from someone with Photoshop.

    You will find that most people here are likely to have Photoshop Elements of some ve3rsion;  this aside, if you are on a windows system, then you should be running as "Standard User" not as Administrator or a user with administrator privileges.  this way Adobe updater cannot update your system without prompting you to login as Administrator.
    Also, if I can remember correctly, Adobe Updater has a small checkbox that you need to tick to make sure Adobe notifies you of update before downloading anything automatically.  I can't produce this now because I don't have any update outstanding but if I find a way to replicate this I'll post back.
    For now make sure you work as Standard User in a windows system so that you are protected not only from Adobe updates but also from Microsoft updates and from hackers and scammers who all like to install their small piece of software without your knowledge.

  • How to open Canon 5D Mark III Raw files in PSE 9? [was:Updates]

    I am unable to unpdate my PS E2 PSE 9 to support my Canon 5D III.  I am using a laptop.  What should I do?

    Your CR2 files are not supported in PSE2. You can download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Update Camera RAW in PSE 8 for Mac installs but doesn't function

    I've researched the forums and tried reinstall of PSE 8 and downloading the camera RAW updates. both 5.7 and 6.1. After looking at the various proposed solutions I can't seem to find the exact answer I'm seeking.
    The Camera RAW update installation completes properly but still won't open my Olympus EPL-1 RAW (.ORF) files.
    The Camera RAW Plug In info still says version 5.5.0.97
    I can view the .ORF files in Bridge, modify them and save as .dng, then open them in PSE 8.
    I'm new at this but assumed I would be able to open the .ORF files in PSE 8 without all the conversion. Did I miss something?

    You can't install ACR in PSE via the Adobe updater. It's lying to you. You need to go here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    download the latest update and follow the instructions in the readme exactly. You need to remove the old plugin from the folder before putting the new one in there.

  • Camera Raw 8.4-Update für PSE 7

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich benutze aktuell Photoshop Elements 7, bin damit hochzufrieden und würde nur ungern auf eine andere Software wechseln müssen. Allerdings möchte ich mir eine neue Kamera zulegen, die Camera Raw 8.4 voraussetzt. Gibt es irgendeinen Weg, meine bestehende Elements 7-Installation auf Camera Raw 8.4 zu updaten?
    Danke schon im Voraus!

    Ich kenne zwar PSE nicht , aber ein Update auf ACR 8.4 wird nicht möglich sein. Entweder du beschaffst die ein Update audie aktuelle PSE-Version, oder du gehst den Umweg über den DNG-Converter.
