Preference are not saved when leaving Photoshop elements 10

Hi,
Each time I leave photoshop elements 10 (bought on Apple Store), A windows says that I don't have the required rights and my preference are not saved. Each time I restart the program it is re-installing the effect as if it's a new install.
Any change done in preference window is not taken into consideration.
I understood that this is because Photoshop is trying to save on root directory, which is not possible as protected.
Anyone has a solution as it makes it almost unusable :-( How can I change the right or tell photoshop to save the preference file somewhere else?
I use Mountain Lion.
Thanks

I do not need to install when I get from Apple Store. When I start for first time after downloading, photoshop starts first by creating content and effect window. After that the program works normally.
Except when I want to quit, another window open telling me that I don't have the users rights to save my preference.
If I restart again Photoshop it restart from scratch and tries to re-install content and effects, which should only done once.
My problem is that I bought the version 10 in february this year and I was not aware that a new version was coming, so I don't want toinvest another 69 Euros....I would at least have my version 10 working properly.

Viewing an iphoto image 'saved as' using photoshop element

How do i get iPhoto to display an image that was changed in Photoshop Elements and 'saved as' back into the original iPhoto library folder?
The Finder displays the original and changed image files listed in the iPhoto Library folder. However, the iPhoto application will not display the image.

Thanks for the response.
Using Photoshop Elements, I changed the original image and saved it with a new name. Both the original and the changed image show a .jpg file exension in the iPhoto folder.
The iPhoto application does not display the new image. It just seems not to exist unless you use Finder.

Can I change the workspace color in Photoshop Elements 12, to Black or dark grey?

Can I change the workspace in Photoshop Elements 12, to black or dark grey? I do not like the light grey, around my tools.

You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

Saving Changes in Photoshop Elements 9

I have trouble saving changes I make to photos in Elements 9. When I try to Save or Save As, it says the photo is 'editing in progress,' even though I am finished with the changes. How do I save the changes?

You have to also close it to free it back up in the organizer.

Having problem with correct color using Photoshop Elements 9 and Hp photosmart c6150.

Have been trying to print pictures from PSE9 to HP Photosmart C6150 and the colors are overly red and not the same as the original photo. I tried to get the ICC profile online without any success. How do I setup my color management on PSE9 and my C6150 to get the best pictures. I am using HP Premium Plus Photot Paper.

Delete the editor's preferences: quit it, then restart it (use the button in the welcome screen or organizer) while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

16 bit color in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS

I get an Error when using some of my tools (example: Healing Brush) in FULL EDIT that states that "16 bit color not supported . Convert to 8 bit color?"
Will Photshop 9 work with 16 bit color? Considering most cameras esp. DSLR's and scanners now use 16 bit color I hope so.

Some features of PSE will work on 16 bit images, other features of PSE will not work on 16 bit images and you have to convert the image to 8 bits. I don't have PSE9, but it is my understanding that if a feature didn't work on 16 bit images in earlier versions, it won't work on 16 bit images in the current version (PSE9).

Add printer profile to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0

Hi
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 running on a Windows/7 64 bit system. I print to an epson 1400.
I wish to print a photo from the PSE editor. Unfortunately the editor does not allow me to choose the appropriate printer profile for the epson 1400 & the paper I have loaded.
The profiles are correctly installed in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color; and they are available to other programs, like MS Photo Viewer. But PSE editor does not display them as a choice.
PSE 7.03 does allows me to specify a printer profile. After pressing control-P I am presented with a PRINT dialog box. Among other things, I choose:
Color Handling: Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
Printer Profile: presents many options, including:
- working RGB - Adobe RGB (1998)
- working CMYK - U.S. Web Coasted ....
- working Gray
- and many others,
but no Epson profiles.
For Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy I want to use the SP1400 1410 PGPS profile provided by epson.
Does anyone know how to get PSE 7.03 to allow this choice?
thanks
John

Colin
Thanks again for the helpful reply.
I have not previously calibrated my monitor. I am looking at that now. but
have avoided it because:
   1. Adobe recommends (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333356.html) that LCD
   displays not be calibrated.
   2. The colors on my Dell 2007WFP are the same as on the back display of
   my Nikon D80 within my ability to differentiate. And they are good!
   3. The colors produced by the Epson 1400 were way off for some skin
   tones (specifically brown skinned people - about half of the folk who I
   photograph). This was not a minor adjustment issue. And sometimes they
   were off in the Green direction, other times they looked red or orange, more
   in shadows than in highlights.
   4. The skin tones printed from Picasa were very good (short of excellent)
   while the skin tones from PSE 7.03 were completely inferior - I did not
   suspect a problem with the monitor calibration or the printer - PSE was at
   fault.
Ok, now I used the calibration tool that seems to be part of Win/7 - I got
to it via the control panel:display. I made no adjustments to the monitor -
it seemed fine.
I would like the printer to duplicate what I see on the monitor. prints are
a bit lighter than what I see on the screen.
I am printing now with the following parameters:
   1. from PSE Editor
   2. Photoshop Manages color
   3. Printer Preferences
      1. Premium Photo Paper Glossy (I use epson paper & inks)
      2. Color Management: ICM & No Color Adjustment
   4. Printer Profile: SP1400 1410 PGPP (thanks!)
   5. Rendering: Relative Colourimetric

Any idea why I can't print using Photoshop Elements 13 and an HP Color Laser Jet printer?

Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 13 - Recently purchased Elements 13 and haven't been able to print! I have an HP Color Laser Jet CMI1312nfi MFP and printed fine last year with a trial version of Elements 12. I keep getting errors saying "the saved print information is an incompatible version. It has been set to default values" as well as "default printer could not be opened." I downloaded an update to the driver for the printer today but still no luck. Any other ideas?

I ended up reinstalling the drivers for the Canon from the original CD and that took care of it. Normally I can just copy the PPDs for our particular printers to the PPD folder in the Library/Printers/PPDs folder and it works fine, but for some reason this machine decided it needed everything reinstalled. It's working now.

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to che

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.

Hi ,
Please update to PSE 13.1
13.1 has solved this problem.

Printing with HP B9180 and Photoshop Elements 8 and Color Management

I've got a bit of confusion about certain settings in the printing process and I've posted a rather long discussion of my 'issues' and confusion. I hope someone can give me some guidance here. I've seen a lot of these issues addressed in many places but I can't seem to find an integrated response. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.
Color Management Questions
My problems started when I was getting pictures that were too dark from my HP 9180 printer after having gotten very nice prints for a long time. I had obviously started to do something differently inadvertently. The only thing I think that is different is that I got a new 23 inch monitor, which does produce much brighter on-screen images. So, I started to do some research and know just enough about color management to be slightly confused and have some questions that I hope someone can give me some help with.
Equipment Background
I use both a Canon 20D and a Canon PowerShot SD600 camera. Both have the default color space as sRGB, although the 20D can be also set as RGB.
I also use Photoshop Elements 8, where there are a variety of settings possible for printing.
My monitor is an HP S2331, whose color space is sRGB and cannot be reset to RGB (I think) except for temperature; the default is 6500K.
My printer is an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer, where there are also a variety of settings possible.
I’m running XP-Pro.
Here’s Where I Get Confused
Everything I have read about color management (various web sites, forums, books, etc) says to have the image, monitor, and printer all in the same color space.
Everything I read about PSE 8 (same sources) says to set PSE 8 to ‘Always Optimize for Printing’ under Edit>Color Settings in order to get the best prints. This displays photos based on the Adobe RGB color space.
I am taking pictures in sRGB, and telling PSE 8 to process them in RGB by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I reset my camera for RGB?
Further, by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’, I am setting PSE 8 for RGB while my monitor displays sRGB. Is this an important issue or is it also much ado about technicalities that an amateur should not worry about? It does violate the ‘keep them in the same color space’ rule.
Next, when I go to File>Print and get the Print window and then do the Page Setup and Select Printer, I then go to More Options in the lower left of the window. Under the More Options window, I select Color management and select Photoshop Elements Manages Colors. Next, there is Image Space, which is fixed and not subject to selection from a drop down menu.
I understand that this is the image space of the image I took with my camera and that information is embedded in the image. Correct?
Next, there is Printer Profile. But, from what I have read, this is where the IEC profile of the paper being printed on is supposed to be selected, isn’t it?
Shouldn’t this more appropriately be called Paper Profile, or Printing Media Profile? Further, this drop down menu appears to be somewhat erratic, sometimes showing all of the paper profiles I believe are loaded, sometimes not. It also shows listings such as Working RGB-Adobe RGB (1988), Adobe RGB 1988, Dot Gain 10%, 15%.... along with a lot of paper profiles. Aren’t those profiles unnecessary here?
I’ve used both Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual Rendering and am happy with either one.
Next, when I go to Printer Preferences, in order to “…disable color management in the printer preferences dialog”, under the Color Tab, I select Application Managed Colors from the Color management drop down menu, and also have the option of selecting ColorSmart/sRGB and Adobe RGB (1988).
Is there any time when I should use either ColorSmart/sRGB or Adobe RGB (1988)? If I were staying with my camera’s sRGB setting, given the fact that the monitor is sRGB, would the appropriate selections be ‘Printer Manages Colors’ and ‘ColorSmart/sRGB’?
Finally, under the Features Tab, I go to look for the same paper I selected under Printer Profile (Question 4 above). If it is one of the pre-loaded (by HP) profiles, it is there, but if it is a profile I downloaded, say for an Ilford paper, it isn’t listed, and I need to guess at an equivalent type of paper to select.
Is there any way to get that listing to appear under the Paper Type drop down menu?
I know that this is a long post, but it helped me to clarify my ‘issues’. Thank you for any and all suggestions, answers, guidance and help.

RIK,
Some printers have long names, esp. HP printers, and PSE gets ":confused." In control panel>devices and printers, right click on the default printer, go to printer properties, and rename the default printer to something short, e.g. "Our Printer." That may fix it..

Photoshop Elements 12 Editor Shuts Down Without Saving for Web

Hi
I have a mac version of Photoshop Elements 12 Editor. I have been using the products for a few months with no problems until recently when I try to save for web (after the preview is shown), the program will shut down by itself when I click the "Save" button.
Mac version OS X 10.9.5

Oh, and while you're in there delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
There's a saved application states folder at the same level as the Preferences folder. Delete anything in there for PSE.

Photoshop Elements 8-Change of file format when saving deletes filename

I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 since last May and have always been irritated that when I add text to a photo it always defaults to PSD format for saving. I have gone to the preference options to see if I can set jpg as the default and it does not offer that option. This means that every time I save after adding text I have to manually select jpg to get the format to change.
Although this has been a pain, I have done it thousands of times as I have edited photos.
My problem is that suddenly from one day to the next when I change from PSD option to jpg the filename disappears and I have to go back and manually type in the whole filename. The only changes to my computer settings that I can think of that might have affected this is that Microsoft Updates had 2 updates. First was Definition for Windows Defender-KB915597 and the other was Unpdate for Windows 7 for x64 based systems-KB97690.
I saw a similar problem posted by sandwitch2 on Feb. 13th about PSE6. 99jon suggested the change to permissions of adding "everyone". I tried this and it did not correct the problem.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
I have found Adobe's insistance on saving as PSD irritating to say the least in the past. The inability to change this in preferences has made me very unhappy, but the quality of their product has outweighed the hoops they make me jump through until this. Their search feature in support is pretty much worthless. It either brings up nothing if you keyword is to limiting or brings up 200 responses if it if too broad.
I have been a user of Photoshop Elements for over 6 years updating as new editions have come out. I am to the point that if I can't get this current problem fixed I am uninstalling Elements 8 and going to another software. Adobe's proprietary requirements and poor support page are just too much of a pain to deal with.

I was told that if I save in PSD if I send the photos to share with others only those with Photoshop Elements can open the files. That is why I try to use jpg. Is that true?
Thanks for all the help from both of you,
Bettye

Color space change when using photoshop elements plug in

When I select photo and edit with photoshop elements, Aperture makes a copy of the file as expected, but I can see the image color/hue etc. has changed, why? Is there some setting I am missing? The color of the image shouldn't change, should it? Just doesn't make sense!

Where do you see the color change of the copy?
In the thumbnail or preview before it is send to the external edtor?
When the image is opened in the external editor?
Or after it is send back from the editor?
I do not see any color changes when I use PS CS5; it may help to see a screenshot.
