Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac.

Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac. I have a standard 21" iMac with 8 gb of RAM, but it still sticks for up to 30 seconds when switching pictures in organizer or other functions. How can I get it more responsive?

How large is your HD & how much space do you have left? Make sure you are using the latest version of APE.
You should also contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.

Move photos from old PC running Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition, to new PC running Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.

Hello,
My old PC (Windows XP) has 8500+ photos with loads of tags attached using Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition.
I'm trying to move all photos, and tags, to my new PC (Windows 7) . I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on my new PC.
All photos have been copied from the hard disk on the old PC to the hard disk on the new PC.
But how do I move the database/tag information between the old and new PC / between' Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition' and 'Photoshop Elements 8'?
All help is highly appreciated, as I really don't want to add all this valuable tag information manually...

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
All tags are correct, but PSE automatically reconnected only approx 5000 of the approx 8500 pictures (the picture directory has been changed)
See this FAQ for how to beat the Reconnect command into submission:

Error:6 when a non-admin user tries to run Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

Loaded Photoshop Elements 9 on a computer that is not on the internet and works fine as long as the user logging into the computer has admin privileges but a user who does not have admin priviledges gets an Error:6 that says to uninstall and reinstall the product. Uninstalling and reinstalling the product has no effect. I believe this to be that the normal user doesn't have permissions to a file somewhere that it needs to write to but can't seem to locate that file as I have given write permissions to Adobe under Programs & Common Files but no success.

Adobe Photoshop elements - the catalog will not open on the new laptop I just bought.

I installed the Adobe software for Elements 5.0. The catalog won't open. The new laptop uses Windows 7. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I rectify the problem?

Hi,
Actually, I did eventually get it to open. However, the photos are no longer tagged. I recovered the photos from my external hard drive, which is where I always stored them.
So you are saying that I would need to actually to a BACKUP from ELEMENTS itself? If I do that, the tags will still be attached to the photos? I have over 6000 photos. I do not want to have to reorganize and re tag them again.
Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and I can open up a new file

I open it up and then the pop up comes you know asking you what size paper and the resolution and stuff and than you press okay. But when i press okay it does nothing, What do I do???

Start it from either the button in the organizer or the button in the welcome screen, or by double clicking the actual program file/application.
(You must see the welcome screen if you want to do it that way--use the little house icon in the organizer's top bar for that. It won't work if you have set the welcome screen to automatically launch the editor, and you just double click the shortcut/icon for the welcome screen.)

When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop (message reads "attempt to access invalid address" - what can I do?

When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 at the same time. I get an error message which reads "attempt to access invalid address". When I stop running Firefox, I can use Photoshop again. What can I do?

Which OS are you using? Because there have been some issue with Win7 and PSE4. Try upgrading to PSE8.You can try the trial version of PSE8.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 - Comparison with Picasa and Canon Zoom Browser

I have recently bought a new computer and connected it to a USB hard drive which contained all my photos and a copy of an Adobe Photoshop Elements (APE) 4 catalog which permitted me to run APE 4 directly from the USB drive. The new computer runs on Windows 7 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. When I attempted to open the old catalog, created in APE 4 APE 4, APE 7 needed to convert it. The converted catalog then needed to reconnect with files and this took hours because APE seems to be incapable of sorting this out automatically. On the other hand Picasa 3 dealt with the matter in minutes and Canon Zoom Browser dealt with it in seconds. Why is this? What are the advantages of using APE 7 over Picasa 3 or Canon Zoom Browser?

I avoid keeping photos on the C Drive of my computer because of adverse past experiences of losing data when problems arose and it was necessary to reinstall Windows. I prefer to use two separate hard disc drives connected to my computer using USB ports so that I have all photos and catalogs on each drive. PSE catalogs appear to be drive letter specific so that a catalog created on one drive will not function if simply copied to the other. In PSE-4 I overcame this problem by opening the copied catalog and changing all references to drive letters. In PSE-7 I am unable to open the database and my goal is to find a quick and efficient way of modifying a copied catalog so that it functions on a drive different to the one on which the catalog was created.
Finally, and at long last, a kindred spirit that won't keep photos on the OS drive. I was told as recently as >> yesterday << that my post about saving photos anyplace else but "C:/" was "non-sequitur".
Second, I'm sort of accustomed to "USB drive", as a synonym for "flash drive", and "Ext HDD" referring to an external HDD, (this makes sense, at least in my twisted individual perception), so accordingly, I apologize for my knee-jerk lecture about it. (In hindsight, perhaps the only child in me is expecting too much also).
I never use external HDDs, but rather install additional HDDs internally to accomplish the same net result. My sensibilities here are, they are quite a bit less expensive, they do the same job, and you don't have addional s*** laying all over the place.
IMO, you are overthinking the database issue. I get to say that since I have no such ability to do so, and additionally, I have never been unable to reconnect a catalog other than within the normal Windows environment.
Therefore, I suggest changing the drive letter(s) to that of the old drive(s), and remain in blisslful ignorance as to whether PSE-7 is using the SN# or Drive letter to do its "dirty work".
As Mr. Ellis has pointed out, you're trying to do too many things at once. I'm going to suggest an "experimental" fix which is sort of backwards from Mr. Ellis', but retains the same spirit.
Install PSE-4 on the NEW machine! Insert its catalog file into its (PSE-4) correct folder. This location can be found by "Help" > "System Info".
Upon installation, PSE-4 will generate a new catalog, "My Catalog", therefore you must change the old catalog's name, (say "My Catalog 2"), to avoid a conflict.
You might have to change the "compatibility" mode for PSE-4 several times, before PSE-7 will be able to follow the file path.
As an additional note, since PSE-7 is technically, (according to Adobe), "incompatible", you can match its compatibility mode with PSE-4's, at the onset. After you have stabilized the system, change PSE-7's mode back to whatever works best.
If you need any more info on these operations, please feel free to post back.
I would like to add, that my PSE-7 in Windows 7 runs poorly in comparision with the same program in the XP environment. This seems not to be "typical", but IMO, worth mentioning.
Please also bear in mind that you can paste the entire catalog file into the "Open Catalog" dialog box, and PSE will place in its folder for you...!
Then, assuming the HDD letters are the same, it will reconnect "instantly", or in the case of a PSE-4 ".psa" cat file, PSE-7 will convert it, then open it instantly.
As an afterthought, by changing the drive letters, then pasting the .psa file into the "Catalog Open" dialog box, you do not have to make any additional installations of PSE, nor muck about in any database.

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

I have the CD version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. When I put disk 1 into my PC, 2 options appear:
1) Open folder to view files.
2) Take no action.
I have tried both of these, but only #1 does something. It opens my files and shows Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 as a removable disk. I have tried multiple things to get it to install, but nothing will work. What do I do?

You can try downloading instead of using the disk. Your serial number from the disk can be used to activate it.

RAM Error Message in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

Just bought my first mac on Friday.
I'm running Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
I go to open a little file 500X500 and I get an error message that it cannot open it because there is not enough available RAM.
Machine has 4G!
Anyone know why?
Thanks
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. This is my first visit.

Welcome to the Forums!
It is possible that this is an error on the part of Elements, or that there really isn't enough RAM. Four GB is plenty (I use 4 on huge RAW files without issue). The only reason that you wouldn't have enough RAM is that you might have some application open that's using it all without you knowing. Here's how to check for this:
Open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities). At the top, set the Show menu to All Processes.
Click the Real Memory column header so that the point of the triangle is down. This will bring the processes using the most RAM to the top.
If there's one using a lot (500MB or more), quit it if you don't need to have it open (If it's something you don't know of, post the name and we'll let you know what it is).
Also, select the System Memory tab at the bottom. What are the numbers on the left (Free, Wired, etc)?
If there isn't anything using a lot of RAM, than the problem is probably in Elements. The easiest way to fix it would probably be to uninstall and reinstall it (if that's a big problem, we can look into other ways).
I've used Photoshop CS5 Extended with huge files on a MacBook with 4GB RAM; 2.4 GHz CPU without a problem (well, it was a little slow, but it worked).

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 wont open

Ive intalled the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 but when i go to open the program it says it cant find the shortcut. How do i open up the program now?

It depends greatly on which operating system you have installed on your computer. Are you using Windows or Mac OS? Also what version of the operating system do you have installed? Finally if you are using Windows do you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version installed?
