Removing unwanted items in photoshop elements 12

I have looked at a video tutorial for removing unwanted items in a photo and followed the procedure using the spot healing brush trying both content aware & proximity match types but for some reason once I've selected the item the program doesn't actually do anything, so nothing changes. The item is still there exactly as it was before. I also tried using the magnetic lasso & but don't know how to get rid of the item once I've selected it. Can anyone help me with this issue?

I used the clone stamp tool.
Place the cursor over the rocks to the left of the sign (source area), then hold down the ALT key and left click. Let go, then place the cursor over the sign and left click.
You can adjust the size of the cursor with the bracket keys on the keyboard next to the letter P.

Removing duplicate photos in photoshop elements 4

is there a easy way to remove duplicate photos in Photoshop elements 4, i have over 20,000 photos but really only 5000-6000 and 3-4 duplicates of each and i think they have been renamed and haven't found a duplicate photo/file remover that will do it any suggestions

John,
I have PSE 4 on an old laptop so I took a quick look and my conclusion is no v4 does not have Suggest Photo Stacks.
Find with Visual Similarity is in v4 and I did do a Catalog > Recover with the build Similarity Index choice as preparation for using that Find feature. However using Visual Similarity on any signficant number of photos would seem very tedious. Of course it could be done systematically on a few photos each time over an extended number of days - but still tedious.

How can I remove an object using Photoshop Elements 7?

How can I remove an object using Photoshop Elements 7?

You could probably use the 8 point garbage matte in this situation. I personally think the 8-point garbage matte is a bit cumbersome, but it should get the job done.
1. Use the Razor Blade tool to place a cut before and after the shot with the bottle.
2. Select the bottle clip.
3. Press and hold Shift + Option, then drag the bottle clip up one track. This should create a duplicate clip directly above your original clip. (I'll refer to this duplicated clip as bottle2.)
4. Locate the 8-point Garbage Matte filter and apply it to bottle2.
5. Locate the Gaussian Blur filter and apply it to bottle2.
6. Control click bottle1, and uncheck the "Clip Enable" setting from the shortcut menu. This will disable that clip.
7. Double click bottle2 to load it into the Viewer. Then select the Filter tab.
8. For the Garbage Matte filter, you'll notice 8 rows of numbers, these are the current locations for the control points, which you should be able to see in the Canvas. Start with point #1, and click the "+" button in the filters area, then in the Canvas click and drag to move the point. When you release the mouse button, you'll need to reclick the "+" button in the filters tab. Repeat these steps until you've isolated the bottle.
9. Feather the edge of the matte.
10. Adjust the Blur amount.
11. Reenable bottle1. Playback the clip and make any necessary adjustments.
Depending on your experience with Motion, you might also want to try sending bottle1 to Motion, then use Motion to control the layering.

Unwanted folders in Photoshop Elements Organiser

I've recently started using Photoshop Elements 13 on a new Windows 8.1 Laptop.
I've started bringing some folders into the Organizer and have had some unwanted ones turn up...
The unwanted folders have names like festive, confetti and album_16x9_c71ff90be..... and they all appear to have a single music file in them and be located in the slideshow > themes > assets subfolder of Adobe. Given this folder isn't within the Pictures folder I've set Adobe to look at I don't how the folders have ended up in my Organizer.
So, I'm seeking assistance to:
- delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do; and
- work out how they ended up there so I can make sure it doesn't happen again.
Thanks in advance for any help!

- delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do;
Have you tried going to Watch Folders options and then delete from there? See this picture:
To get to this screen, Launch the Organizer and then Go to:
File >> Files folders (this 5th item from the bottom)
Good luck.

How do I remove a picture from Photoshop Elements 9 editor?

I can't remove a picture from the Photoshop Elements 9 editor. I am using an imac with the Lion operating system. I have tried to close the picture, but everytime I open the editor from iphoto to do more advanced editing than is possible in iphoto the picture is still there. Can anyone help with this BIG PROBLEM? Please response directly to my e-mail. Thank you.

This is a quirk with the Elements editor and lion's feature for reopening saved windows. If you go to system prefs>general and turn off Restore Windows when quitting and reopening apps it will stop happening. See this thread for more:

How can I escape from crop? Gets stuck on crop. Thus cannot do adjust color /remove color cast. Photoshop Elements 10 on PC.

I try everything. Shut down Photoshop Elements 10. Shut down PC. Re-boot PC. Try a different jpg. Open it with PSE 10. It still is stuck on Crop tool, and won't allow me to Adjust color.
Help !

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Have you tried resetting the tools?
Click on the small down triangle at the top left of the tools and select Reset all tools
Once you are in the crop tool, you are clicking on the accept tick or the cancel symbol aren't you?

Can't remove unwanted item from menu bar

I recently purchased a Western Digital My Book HD to use for backups. The HD included software which I stupidly thought I needed to use it, so I installed it. I quickly realized I didn't need it and uninstalled the software, however it has left an icon in my menu bar which I can't seem to get rid of. Is there a way to make it go away or am I stuck now?

how did you uninstall that software? did you simply trash the application? that wasn't the proper way to do it since the app used an installer to install. there should be an uninstaller that came with that app. try using that. you might have to reinstall that software first. if that doesn't work then you have to search out what exactly that software installed. there could be login items. check those in system preferences->accounts. or there could be some launch daemons. check homedirectory/Library/Launchagents, /Library/launchagents and /Library/launchdaemons. but definitely try the uninstaller first.

Complete uninstall of Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 9 from Windows 7 64 bit

I purchased Photoshop Elements 11 and Primere Elements 11. I am manually uninstalling Photoshop and Primere Elements 9 before installing ver 11.
I went through the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs to do this. The process completed, but the following problems remain:
1. Entries for Photoshop Elements 9 and Primere Elements 9 are still in the list in CP - Add/Remove Programs. Re-uninstalling from there brings up Windows Installer msg " This action is valid for products that are currentlly installed"
2. Entries for Photoshop Elements 9 and Primere Elements 9 are still in the Start Button - All Programs.
3. The entries for the uninstalled programs are not listed at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3. I could delete the folders pertaining to Photoshop Elements 9 from where the files were installed originally. However, when I try to do that I get a msg saying that I need permission from SYSTEM to do that and the delete fails.
A gazillion folders and files remain in D:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 9
4. The only entries in Services.msc for Adobe are for Acrobat Update Service and Flash Player Update Service.
So, obviously, the uninstall did not complete properly.
How do I manually remove all traces of Photoshop Elements 9 and Primere Elements 9 from my system? Does Adobe have any automated tool to do this?
Thanks.

There is a "clean script" for CS products that you might look at, but I have NO idea if it works for Elements products

Secret data sets and variables in photoshop elements.

In photoshop elements 4 thru 8, you can use data sets
and variables, with the actions recorded for them in
photoshop and then installed into photoshop elements.
They work exactly like they do in photoshop and in fact
there is already a menu item in photoshop elements,
under in export menu, called export data sets as files.

Not sure a I read you correctly but if I understand you
what you have to do is make the first two images as dynamic variables using the variable panel and save it as a data set
then replace those two images and save those as a data set
So now you have data set one and two.
You can save that as an variable library (xml)and that can be loaded into other documents.
The question is can it be actioned?
It can be scripted and do you want the same two images to replace the same two image in each document.
I think you really have to tell us more.

Photoshop element 9 download.

I purchased Photoshop element 9 few years ago. I know that they upgrade to higher version and I am not able to down load higher version of it. but At least I need to download my old version of Photoshop element. I bought a new HDD and try to download my purchased items. but Photoshop element 9 seems not able to download. It is on my purchased list but if click the download button, it is not responsed..

Only the most recent version is available for (re)download. That is why Apple constantly warns folks to backup their content.

Removal of 'older' versions of Elements and Premiere from CPU

Can I safely remove 'older' versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere or do they share important resources, files, .dlls, etc.? I am currently running PSE 10 and PRE 10 and would like to remove PSE 2 and PSE 7 and PRE 7 to free-up hard-drive space.

Yes, you can remove them. Each version of PSE is a self-contained installation.

Remove unwanted object?

Sorry for the newbie question.
I have a photo that I took of a bird. Unfortunately, there is also a twig in front of the bird. Can I remove this twig using Photoshop Elements 12?

Open the picture file in PSE Editor, expert tab
Open a blank layer above the background layer
Get the clone stamp tool out of the toolbox, then clone adjacent pixels over the offending twig
If you need additional help, please post the picture here for more targeted guidance.

Need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it

need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it - i have everything removed from scan in quarantine but have no idea which one is what i need to reverse and allow my photoshop elements 2.0 (old version, I know, but I love it) to work again

Use the anti-virus program to reverse everything it quarantined and in future ensure the anti-virus program settings let you check and decide what items to quarantine and what to ignore. Letting an anti-virus program quarantine things automatically is a recipe for disaster.
You could also check if you have a System Restore point from before the anti-virus run.
Cheers,
Neale
