Save as TGA File ? [Photoshop Elements 12]

Hello everyone,
I am using Photoshop Elements for a couple months now, and would like to know how to save my images as .tga files.
I found on another thread a link for a plugin, but that only allows me to load in tga's and when saving, it would give me an error message.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Download and install this free program: www.irfanview.com
Save you file in PSE as JPEG, TIFF, or PNG, etc.
Open the file in Irfanview and save as .tga

How can I save a picture in Photoshop Elements that was emailed to me using Photoshop Elements?

How can I save a picture in Photoshop Elements that was emailed to me using Photoshop Elements?

Save the attachment in a folder.
From the Organizer menu choose:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
Navigate to your image and click Open.
If the photo is embedded, make a copy or screen grab and then whilst it’s still held in memory open the Elements Editor.
From the menu click:
File >> New >> Image from clipboard
Then use File >> Save As
Then choose jpeg.

How do I save my setup for Photoshop Elements 11 that I created for category - sub-category - Keyword Tags

how do I save my setup for Photoshop Elements 11 that I created for category - sub-category - Keyword Tags I would like to use the setup for other Photoshop Elements

First are you going to use the same keyword/categories hierarchy in the same Elements version (or newer)? If so, using the backup/restore process will also restore your hierarchy.
If you want to create the same hierarchy in an older Elements version, it's possible to save that hierarchy in a special text file and to restore it in the new catalog in the destination computer. It's also possible to restore it in another catalog in the same computer.
Look at the title bar of the keywords panel. Next to the '+' sign on the right, you see a small icon which opens a menu offering the option to save or to restore the text file.

I often receive photos as attachments to emails.s there Ian easy way to save them directly to Photoshop Elements? Or do I have to save and then import?

Well... I appreciate both of your responses. However... I believe that lvlibs cause more frustration then anything else. My team has come across issues with lvlibs and conflicting paths (when using CM tools) and have resorted to using LLBs because they offer a clean set of file dependencies. I understand that lvlibs are probably more robust, but they are not an option right now. Therefore... the question I originally asked still remains. Is there a quick and easy way to add a bunch of VIs to an LLB without having to save each one of them separately to the LLB?

I can not save edited photos in Photoshop Elements.

I bought Photoshop elements because i thought it would help me save manipulated photos. When i edit photos and change them, then save the changes under a different file name, I continutally get the unedited original when I try to view the edited photo

Hi Bucephal,
That is pretty odd, indeed.
Just so that the community can help - could you provide us with information like what version you're using, which OS, and a brief explanation of what effect you're applying, or how you're manipulating the image?
Cheers,
David

Unable to save editied photos in Photoshop Elements 5

I currently run Windows 7 and have Photoshop Elements 5. When I edit a photo it will not let me save it and comes up with a message "Cannot save due to program error". O have tried restarting the computer, reinstalling PE5, saving in a different location, Save As and NOTHING has worked and I am getting extremelly frustrated! Can someone please help!

Do you have the photoshop elements 5 update of 5.02 installed?

You should reset the pse 5 preferences file and see if that clears things up:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after the Photoshop Elements Editor begins launching.
Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.

You can't. Once it's been flattened, you can't unflatten it. Talk to your designer: he/she will most likely have the unflattened version available.

Canon 70D raw files Photoshop Elements 11

How can I view Canon 70D raw files in Photoshop Elements 11?

You need PSE12 to read your CR2 files. Alternatively, 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 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

A plugin for dds files Photoshop Elements 9

I don't know if this is the right place to ask....but who would develop a plugin in for dds files for Photoshop 9? There is a big demand from what I've seen on google. I just bought ps9 and was disappointed to find out that this newest version doesn't open these image files. I've been a customer of photshop since it first came out. I'd like to put a bug in someone's ear but don't know where to start.

Welcome to the forum.
It appears that there is a DDS plug-in for nVidia video cards for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. Which video card do you have? I do not know this site, so cannot vouch for it. If you have the right nVidia video card, and PS Extended, scan any download carefully, before installing: http://paulus1ittechician.blogspot.com/2011/02/dds-plugin-for-photoshop-with-nvidia.html
I am unsure of which version of PS you have, and wonder, as does MTSTUNER, whether you mean Photoshop Elements 9 (totally different program, than PS, or PS Extended, which is at version 9).
Good luck,
Hunt

Save for Web crashing Photoshop Elements 11!

I am trying to get some images ready for my work who is developing an app. I am trying to save the images and pages for web 'Save for Web', however whenever I click save it crashing the entire programme. Has anyone else had this or does anyone know how to solve it?

sbkay,
Is Organizer crashing for you with every launch?
Can you try these workarounds:
1. Delete the Organizer preferences from:
On MAC: //Users/[Your User Account]/Library/Preferences/. Delete the file “com.Adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist” from this location.
On Win: Type %appdata% in Start>Run. Traverse to \Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\11.0\Organizer(on Win 7). Rename psa.prf file.
Re-launch the Organizer.
2. If your catalog is not a new fresh catalog, it might be because of some issues in that. While launching Organizer, Press the Shift key. This will open Catalog manager dialog. Select your catalog and go for provided options for "Repair" and "Optimize".
Let me know if none of these work out for you.

Slow open and save with psb files Photoshop CC

Here is my system info:
Mac Pro Early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Running Photoshop off an SSD 220GB as my bootdisk , and then my scratches are two 1TB Western Digi Caviar Blacks, both at about 60% full, running Big and flat in PS CC prefs,
Running Photoshop CC 14.0.0
I'm having very slow open and save times for psb files ranging in size from 2GB to 6GB - slow meaning 5-6 mins
Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this time?

I've noticed the same thing with .tif files. It's taking a good minitue or more to save a 15 meg .tif. Very annoying. I opened PS4 and converted the same .jpg to a .tif and saved it in the same location and it took about 4 seconds. Something is totally jacked with saving files in CC.
Checked the compression settings and the are the same in both. Not a big fan of CC everything is slower. I pay monthly now to work slower?!? May have to go back to CS4.

Photoshop elements 9 won't save

Every time I try to save my work in photoshop elements 9 it won't let me save anything, and then it quits. A window pops up asking if I want it to reopen which it does. I'm able to start working again and everything seems fine until I try to save it. Please help.

Please try the foremost common solution. Try reseting the preferences.
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.

Photoshop Elements 11 doesnt work with D7100 RAW files.....

I have recently bought a new Nikon D7100 camera . When I try to open some NEF raw files, Photoshop Elements 11 complains my camera is not on the Camerra Raw list. I have tried for hours and hours to see how to fix this ... I have done the usual look at the plug-ins etc - the plug-in states I haev version 7.4 - which according to the blurb means D7100 files should be Ok ... beginning to get a bit pee'd off now with Adobe......

Hi,
As you have stated that you already have Camera Raw 7.4 installed, the other reason you can't read the files could be that you have corrupted them by using old Nikon software to download the files.
Please see if this helps.

Saving transparent tga files without making alpha channel

I've been using Photoshop 7.0 for awhile now. I haven't upgraded to any other version yet because the original 7.0 actually has a certain bug in it that has been very useful.
The bug has something to do with transparency, alpha channels, and TGA files. Somehow this bug lets me save transparent TGA files without creating an alpha channel. All I have to do is save the image as 32 bit and it will come out exactly how I made it. No white backgrounds, just smooth transparent edges. Its easy since I don't have to waste time manually painting a black/white map. I'm wondering if theres a way to do this in the newer versions, but after trying the demos it seems like there isn't.
I don't know much about alpha channels, but I make dozens of TGA images with clear backgrounds so I really hope there is an easier way around this. To have to manually color the clear/solid areas with a paintbrush and lasso for each image seems like a nightmare. I wanted to get CS4 but I think it would be easier to just stick with this old version for this reason.
If anyone understands me and could offer some insight, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

To my recollection this isn't a bug. I read in the forums awhile back that Adobe changed how the TGA format works with transparency and apparently they received complaints about it so they changed it back. I imagine there probably is a KB article about it.
However creating an alpha channel isn't a big deal especially if you have the transparency already done. Go to your actions panel and load the video actions, you will find an action that converts the transparency of all visible layers into an alpha channel.
