Pse8 trial version & scanning b&w negatives

Hello!
I've just downloaded the trail version before buying: I wanted to test if I am able to use my Canon flatbed scanner & pse 8 to scan B&W negatives and then turn them into positives. I want to do this from time to time instead of using contact sheets. I've managed fine with the exception that certain functions are possibly not available in the trial version. My questions are: Has anyone used pse 8 for scanning negatives with success and is there any way I can turn on the functions needed, namely revert to black & white. Are there detailed instructions for this anywhere? Any suggestions much appreciated. (I did find a couple of hints in flickr but they were for older pse versions and while somewhat helpful didn't do the job).

hello & thanks but i've done exactly that numerous times but i am unable to select convert to black and white. it is better described as being "gray" can't click on it as opposed to "black" and available. i am not sure if i need to do something else so i can use it but it's starting to annoy the hell out of me. i've tried many different ways. even read a post in which i should first scan the negatives open in editor copy the image open a new document paste the scanned image go to LAYER then new adjustment layer then invert and then once i've inverted it to then convert to black and white once that is done i can fiddle with the grayscale ect. thanks again. think i'm just going to go back to my old ways...

  • Missing RAW editing screen in PSE8 Trial version

    Can anyone help me with this one?
    I have previously used PSE6. When opening a RAW image I have first gone through a RAW Editor screen before editting in PSE6. When
    I open a RAW image in the TRIAL version of PSE8 it takes me straight to the PSE Editor, missing out the RAW editing stage. My camera is an Olympus E510, about 2 years old.
    The HELP files clearly show the RAW editing operation so I know the functionality is in PSE8. It seems to assume that the RAW editing screen opens automatically and I can't see what else to do. In desperation I turned on the FILE FORMATS Plug In to see if that would help - it didn't. I need to know there is a RAW Editor that I can use before purchasing the software.
    Adobe have told me that they don't support the Trail version and so won't answer my question...   Not exactly a recommendation of good customer service if their pre sale support is zero!  Their official answer to the above question was that they did not support PSE6 anymore and that I should upgrade to PSE8 Their last suggestion was to ask this group.
    If anyone has PSE8 and is prepared to try a .ORF file for me I'd be very grateful.  Thanks, Keith

  • Two problems with PSE8 (trial version)

    I have two problems I'm experiencing in PSE8. I'm working in Windows PSE8.
    1. I keep going to the drop down menu under "Edit" to the Preset Manager--Brushes. I would like Large Thumbnails. I tell it "OK" but it never changes anything. Am I doing something wrong? It always worked in regular PS.
    2. I am totally confused. I am trying to install third-party actions in PSE 8. I found directions for installing in PSE 7, that mentions a folder called "Photo Creations" or "Photo Effects." I can't find any folders with those names. Is it because I have a trial version? Do I put the actions in Plug-Ins?
    Help! Thank you.

    HI,
    Can you please check if you are doing the same:
    Go to Edit > Preset manager... > Brushes. There is a small arrow along with More written on the top right corner above the preset bin.
    Click on it and select Large thumbnails.
    You dont need to press Ok for changing it to Large thumbnails but only select the option from that pop out menu.
    For the actions file, the location of those folders changes according to the OS you are using.  Please tell the OS to give you the correct path.
    Cheers

  • Can import project from trial version?

    Hi,
    I've been playing with PSE8 trial version, and I've created a slideshow project.  If I upgrade to the real version, will I be able to import the project I created with the trial version?

    Has anyone tried Barbara's suggestion of smply entering serial number without uninstalling the trial version?  Is it problem-free?

  • Buying from the trial version of PSE8

    Hi
    I recently downloaded PSE 8 for Windows, and have decided to buy the application. The decription on the Adobe site says that one can buy the poduct by using the "buy" button from within the trial version.
    I have been unable to locate this "button" which is probably staring right at me every time I use the app. I would appreciate some assistance.
    Thanks.

    Never mind. I found the button when I accessed the edit portion of PSE8. I prevously only used the organize function in the trial version.I think  It would have been perferable to have the buy from trial button available from both modules.

  • How do I activate trial version of PSE8

    How do I activate trial version of PSE8 (I already have the serial number)

    If you have already fully installed the trial version but skipped or overlooked entering the serial number...
    uninstall PSE8 by using your PC's uninstall facility
    have serial number handy (it is in the format: nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn)
    reinstall by executing Adobe's PSE8  installation .exe file
    about 75% of the way through the installation process, i.e. at the Product Configuration stage, insert the serial number when requested, making sure you include the digit separators -       -       -       -      -   between each of the six groups of four numbers.
    continue with installation

  • How to buy pse8 online via trial version?

    Hi
    I just downloaded the trial version of Elements 8, after trying it out I would like to buy it.
    I live in Japan, but I do not speak Japanese nor do I want to download the Japanese version with Japanese characters. When signing up for the trial version, I punched in region as USA so that I could read it in English. My adobe ID has a Japanese address.
    When trying to purchase a pop up tells me that my ID does not fit the region so create a new account. I do not have a USA address to give.
    When I change the region, to Japan, of course it all pops up in Japanese.
    All I want it to purchase the PSE8 in English at the special price of $79.99 Why is that so difficult?
    Can someone please advise me on how to get this done?

    Try creating an Adobe ID through a valid Email ID having region selected as US and see if that works. Also, specify region as US while creating the Adobe ID.
    Try contacting the sales person over chat(this is a new way of support they have recently started providing the link to chat with the support people should be somewhere in the workflow while you try to buy the product online), I believe they shall be able to help as well.

  • Trial Version of PSE8 crashes and tech support won't help

    I have never used any adobe photo product before and I was stoked to download elements, install an action set from a favorite blog I have been dreaming about, and use it on some of my photos.  I followed the instructions on the blog without any problems and installed 1 set of actions.  When I checked that everything was working fine, I went back to install a second set the same way and the whole thing went downhill from there.
    The program crashes before loading completely.  I have looked for other suggestions to fix this and nothing has worked so far.  I have restarted the computer numerous times, restarted elements and quit all other programs while doing so, deleted the actions that I added, and deleted the mediadatabase.  Am now at my wits end.
    I thought I would just call adobe because they should be motivated to sell their product and that might make them interested in helping me fix it.  Well, that's a joke.  In a nutshell he told me that I had to have a license in order for tech support to speak with me which means I have to go and purchase it.  I am not going to invest money in something that insn't working.  He basically told me to come here and he was certain I could get some help.  I hope that he is right on that account.
    My computer is new.  Just bought it last weekend so there should not be any system problems.  I have Win7 64 bit.
    I assume that if I uninstall this trial version that I CANNOT reinstall.
    Thanks in advance to any help you may provide.

    If you have never used Adobe products before, then I'd hate to break it to you but they all crash constantly. No news there, just read the reviews on Amazon.  If i can use the editor for more than 10 minutes without a crash then I am happy.  Sad really.
    They might start caring when picasa continues to steal market share, haha until then...
    I am only piping in because you can uninstall and reinstall the product.  Might try that.

    My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software.  I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while.  Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again.  I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month.  I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

    After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software.  However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007.  I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose.  AA8 has stopped printing to fax.  It faxes a blank page.  The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”.  My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago.  My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
    I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
    “No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
    or
    “The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”

  • I am using Lightroom 3 and need to access a catalog I created with a trial version of Lightroom 4.

    I need to access a catalog I created with a trial version of Lightroom 4.  I am currently using Lightroom 3.  Can someone help me find a way to get my images from this catalog?  I don't want to upgrade at this point as I am running on a mid 2007 iMac and would need to buy new RAM, upgrade my OS, etc....  I would rather wait and spend the money on a new system when I'm ready.

    Hi Rikk,
    I just saw your answer to Deborah,
    Does this mean catalogs not backward compatable in regards to metadata and keywords as well?
    I am working on a giant archiving project here in India. The main system here is a Mac G5 Tower at 10.6.8, and it's running LR 3.2.  I have my MacBook  Air here, running Mavericks and LR 4.4.1.
    I want to take the archive catalog OFF of LR 3.2, put it on the Air, running 4.4.1 - then ADD metadata and keywords to the catalog images while on the Air and THEN re-install/import/export/etc the catalog back to the main tower LR 3.2 with out starting a huge problem of version/upgrades/etc. That way another person can be using the tower to scan while I do keywords.
    I have only a week more here for this project. If anyone knows asap would be great. Thanks in advance.

  • Kaspersky Mobile 9.0 Trial Version

    A while ago I downloaded the trial version of Kaspersky Mobile 9.0, I did not use it very much and found it annoying when it scanned when I wanted to use my phone. I decided to uninstall the software, a simple task I thought, how wrong I was.
    When I tried to uninstall it asked for a pass word, I didn't remember setting up a password and checked all my record to see if I had noted it down in the hanset manual. This is something I do for each handset but there was no record of it. I sent an e-mail to Kaspersky and waited for a reply. I then Googled the problem and to my surprise I was not alone, there were many that had posted the same problem even on Kaspersky's own forum.
    I received a reply which placed the blame on me for forgetting the pass word and advising that I contact Nokia. I have replied bringing it to their attention that it was not a one off complaint, I have yet to receive a reply.
    I
    t show's that there is no such thing as a freebie!!
    Has anyone else experienced the same problem?
    Has anyone from Nokia any comments or advice, please?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hard Reset? are you crazy? this is not a solution in a normal world. if i downoal a TRIAL version software, I MAST HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO UNISTALL the software without problem. And the disclaimer don't contai any information about this 'PASSWORD'. I suggest Nokia, if is real an serius company, to resolv this problem with Kaspersky, because this IS NOT CORRECT. I DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE K9 FROM OVI STORE, IREPEAT FRO OVI STORE. So this is an 'OVI STORE PROBLEM' so is a NOKIA PROBLEM. Thanks.

  • Uninstalling a trial version of Photoshop Elements 10

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE ) & Premiere Elements 8 (PRE 8) installed.
    I want to install a trial version of PSE 10 but not PRE 10.
    If I do the install of PSE 10 must I convert my catalogs created in PSE 8 to PSE10 catalogs in order to carry out my assessment of PSE 10?
    If the answer is "yes" and I decide I don't want the upgrade do I uninstall PRE 10 to revert to PSE 8?
    What happens to the converted catalogs when I revert to PSE 8? How do I get them back to their pre PSE 10 conversion state?

    You'll lose the information about the new photos.
    The thing to keep in mind is that the Organizer is a database program.  It keeps the info about the location of your actual photos, and keywords, and albums, etc., in its database tables.
    So, if you start with a new, empty PSE10 catalog (database) and add photo information to it that new information will only exist in the new PSE10 catalog.  There's no way to bring information from your old PSE8 catalog into that new PSE10 catalog while keeping the new PSE10 info.
    You've almost got it right about converting your old catalog -- if you decide to keep PSE10, in PSE10 you use the Catalog Manager window to browse to your PSE8 catalog and tell PSE10 to convert it.

  • Problems with downloading trial version

    Hi,
    I tried to download the trial version of LE on
    http://www.apple.com/logicexpress/trial/
    and get a ,,Your download will begin automatically.'' but this never happens.
    I'm using Safari. Anyone having the same problems?
    Gruesse, Pablo
    PowerBook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Not working here. Page redirect.
    I expect it is because they are updating the trial version to a Universal Binary (7.2) one.
    Far too many people have been having negative experiences with the trial and IntelMacs without knowing why and being put off, I reckon.

  • Removing OSX.RSPlug.a  Trojan Virus / Using a Trial version of VirusBarrier

    Hello, i have just downloaded the trial version of VirusBarrier and it has found 5 infected files with the RSPlug.a files
    Resourses> Post Install (OSX.RSPlug.a.postflight)
    Resourses> Pre Upgrade (OSX.RSPlug.a.preflight)
    Resourses> Pre Install (OSX.RSPlug.a.Preflight)
    Internet Plugins> Plugin.Settings (OSX.RSPlug.a.Preflight)
    Resourses> Postupgrade (OSXPlug.a.Postflight)
    Not looking too good!
    Now in the trial version you can not repair the files, but you can delete them. I am not good with macs as you probably tell by this post and can not afford to upgrade my copy of virusbarrier, but i obviously want to remove these files.
    Can i delete the files then go through the steps on:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071031114140862
    or will deleting the files cause me any other problems using my mac?
