Scanning with Photoshop Elements 12

I recently updgaded from Elements 9 to Elements 12, but the Import pick is greyed out in the File menue in 12. I can still scan in 9 and my everything  has been upgraded for OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). Where  exactly should the Twain plug in reside to make it work?

I did this and restarted the computer but still nothing. I tried 9 afterword and it still works, but no doubt added these deleted paths back. I'm stumped. Sorry for being a nuisance. I don't suppose it should be this hard. Jumping around and fixing this and then that makes it difficult to know if something is being missed or still needs to be done and then there is the possible issue of accomplishing all this in a certain order.

  • Trouble scanning with Photoshop elements 4.0, Software keeps quitting.

    I'm using Photoshop elements as the scanner driver for my cannon flatbed scanner. I haven't used the scanner for a while. Now scans seem to take much longer and before I save, the program unexpectedly quits and I lose the images a waited forever to scan. At first I thought the problem was too little hard drive space, but the problem continues after freeing up more than enough space. I looked for software updates through the menu bar and didn't find any. Any suggestions?

    Go to applications>Photoshop Elements 4.0>plug-ins>import/export and send the Adobe TWAIN driver to the trash (but don't empty it). If that helps and you don't have any trouble scanning, empty the trash.

  • Can someone please help me with scanning with Photoshop elements 13?

    I have been scanning pictures with no problem with Elements 13 but all the sudden any picture I try to scan it tells me "Nothing imported File or Folder to import did not contain any supported file type or file already exists in catalog."  I know these pictures do not already exist because they are new to me.  What do I need to do to correct this?

    you won't be able to use cs5 unless you can show you own a qualifying product.
    you show you own a qualifying product by either installing that product (before installing cs5), or supplying the serial number when prompted.
    if you purchased or registered your qualifying product with adobe, they may be able to help recover your serial number.  contact adobe support by clicking this link and then clicking 'still need help' as soon as it appears, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • Is scanning with Photoshop Elements 13 and windows 8.1 the most ignorant thing on the planet?

  • Trouble with Photoshop Elements 8

    Every time that I print a photo using Photoshop Elements 8, the photo show vertical lines and the colors are awful. I cannot print a photo using Photoshop Elements 8. I checked the printer and has no any problem. I print all my photos using Windows Photo Viewer. I have no idea what's happening with Photoshop Elements 8. Can anybody help me with this problem?
    Thanking you in advance for any help.

    Celentano I am sorry but what is the exact error you are receiving when trying to install Photoshop Elements 8?  Also which operating system are you installing it on?

  • Help with Photoshop Elements, I'm new to it?

    So I'm just fiddling around with Photoshop Elements, and I have a picture of a crocodile that I'm trying to turn blue, so I'm using the Smart Brush and Blue Sky effect to change his skin colour.
    Firstly, is there an easier way to change the colour of something that I'm missing?
    Secondly, how do I control the Smart Brush precisely? The thing is his body is about the same colour as the water so when the brush gets to a certain point the entire image turns blue.
    So how do I select the crocodile but not the water?
    Thirdly, the brush. I can draw with the brush, but then I get the "wait" symbol and my changes vanish. How do I stop this?
    Thanks for replies, and I'm sorry for my noobishness, I just got Photoshop Elements yesterday.

    You can make the brush cursor larger & smaller with the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard. This affords more control in making the selection.
    Use of the Smart brush tool is probably the easiest way to colorize an object. The tool has a buit-in mask. If you look on the Layers palette (Window>tick layer), the black and white rectangle represents the mask.
    Left click on the mask, then access the brush tool (the ordinary brush B) and with a black brush paint over the area where the blue spilled over to the water. If you go too far, paint with a white brush to correct.

  • Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

    Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.  Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements.  On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’.  1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on    the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more?  Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one?  Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop.  I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue.  I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music.  Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

    The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

  • What a disgrace Adobe with Photoshop Elements 13

    I brought Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 trusting the garbage Adobe went on about it only to find you go and install it and it won't get pass Payloads Adobe Elements 13 Organizer it just fails as a small business I ended up trying to install it on 4 different computer using Windows 8 and 8.1 64 bit and nope the same thing happens I even trying installing the 32 bit program same thing you can not get pass Payloads Adobe Elements 13 Organizer as far as customer support it appears there is none you can't contact anyone at Adobe to get you money back they just don't care. I have gone back to using my old version Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 it works and no issues. I recommend no one buys Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 until Adobe fixes the issues and most of all provide the customers proper support. I wont my money back for a software program that is useless and I can't use. They say you have 90 days from time of purchase to request a refund well what a pack of lies that is as you CAN NOT GET ONTO ANYONE AT ADOBE if you do get on  to some one they will tell you your 90 days has expired this is that they think of there customers world wide.
    I'd rate Adobe 0 = for the program and I'd rate their customer service 0 and never buy another product from them.

    I agree with you about the lack of customer support. I was able to install it with no problems but when I wanted to print to one of my printers I had a lot of problems. I can only print to one of the printers and it won't print correctly. I contacted Support and chatted with one of the people. I was told that only the forums take care of Photoshop Elements. I also wish that I had stayed with Photoshop Elements 11. After installing 13 the printer issues are in my photoshop elements 11 program. I certainly would not recommend anyone purchasing an Adobe product because of the lack of support.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Love / Hate Relationship with Photoshop Elements

    I am having a love/hate relationship with Photoshop Elements!  Love the page design capabilities and hate the lack of capability on the print end.  Kodak does not give any choice in the book they will print from Elements.  All I can get is a #$%& die cut cover!  Is there anyway that I can order other options that I know Kodak has available when creating a book using Elements and their site.  I want to be able to choose a custom cover!  I have tried Kodak to get answers.  I have tried Adobe (impossible, unless maybe you pay).  Neither are very helpful!  The only answers I get are use the Elements designed pages and place them onto pages that you create in their software.  Problem is that one needs a jpeg file to do this.  No online program seems to recognize .PSD or .PSE file types.   HELP!
    Bob, Barbara you both seem to be very knowledgable...any ideas...
    Anyone with any help can answer here or [email protected]
    Terry

    Terry:
    Yeah, the photobook print options are limited. (Although, the built in Kodak and Shutterfly books are very nice)
    One thing to try differently is to use the Print At Home selection on that first screen after the clicking on the PhotoBook option (assuming you are using PSE8 here) (use Photo Collage with PSE7)
    Down that path, you will get a few more choices in page size. It will still create a multi-page document (a .pse) while your building your book, and when done, you can print the pages of the book out as a .pdf. Many book printing services will take in a PDF.
    Another option is to do a single page at a time and save them as .jpg's. A little more work in keeping your various files together and ordered properly, but it would give you ultimate flexibility.

  • Hi, I got my Mac in 2009 with photoshop elements on it - it's recently been wiped, however before the process we put Photoshpp onto a hard drive, we then copied it back over and it no longer works, I'm getting error code 150:30 and I'm being asked for a p

    Hi, I got my Mac in 2009 with photoshop elements on it - it's recently been wiped, however before the process we put Photoshop onto a hard drive, we then copied it back over and it no longer works, I'm getting error code 150:30 and I'm being asked for a password... any ideas how to get it working again?

    You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and you can't get to all the bits and bobs.
    First you will have to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    which will not seem to do anything, but is necessary to break the links within PSE so that you can pitch the bits manually. Then you will have to go around, not only to applications, but also to your username>library>preferences and most importantly to the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and remove everything you can find. Spotlight will not help with this kind of search, so don't try that.
    Then you can install PSE from scratch.

  • Batch Editing with Photoshop Elements 4.0

    I have an folder of photos which I would like to resize as a batch with Photoshop Elements 4.0. However, I am at a loss as to how to do it and am missing a step or two in my workflow.
    I would appreciate any specific step by step suggestion that you may have.
    Thanks for your help.
    Vernon

    not for "batch editing"
    You can set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences. iPhoto has the capability to directly interface with any external editor - simply go to the iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> General and set the Edit photo option to in external editor - select the desired external editor and you are set - now when you edit photos they are sent to the selected external editor and when you are finished editing you save (not save as) and the edited photo is returned to iPhoto, the original is maintained in iPhoto and the iPhoto database is correctly updated.
    If you want the option of editing in either iPhoto or the external editor after selecting your external editor simply set the edit in back to main window - now when you right click (control Click) on a photo you will get a menu which allows you to select either.

  • What is the best motherboard to use with Photoshop elements 11 premium edition?

    I'm going to build my computer by selecting components and having Fryes service put them together. I'd like to build a system with a motherboard that supports 8 gb RAM, and a 250GB SSD drive (SATA III) with a 750gb or 1 TB  7500 rpm slave internal drive or an similar 7500 rpn external drive. The system I build will have usb 3 and hdmi ports with a dvd rom 24x drive. It will have a Windows 7 premium home edition OS. It will have an Nvidea video card with 2 gigs of independent ram.
    I'm trying to build a PC that works efficiently with Photoshop Elements premium version 11. I am a casual home user. I will be doing some basic video rendering of DVD home videos that I have converted to dvd from VHS and 8mm format.. I am NOT a gamer.
    I have a monitor and therfore I'm only interested in building a desktop box with thease specs and I'd like to get the best quality componenets for my desktop build for $1300 or less.
    I'm not interested in anything from Dell (alienware).
    Any motherboard recomendations or criticism/recomendations of other components I want to use will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    It’s really a personal choice. I’ve recently bought a new Dell. Like you I was not interested in the consumer products so I purchased a business spec machine and I’m very happy with it. It’s Dell Precision T3600 with Intel Xeon CPU and Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card. Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with 8gb RAM. I got 1TB and 500gb drives both 7500 rpm with a 3TB Seagate external HD. I gave SSD a miss until prices drop further. I don’t think the extra speed is that relevant to Photo editing although perhaps more relevant to video rendering. I’m also not gaming or running other apps that might benefit from an SSD. Photoshop Elements is a 32 bit program which runs well on 64 bit systems but cant use more than 1.5 to 2GB of RAM. Premiere Elements has 64 bit support and can therefore take advantage of the extra RAM. At the end of the day it’s your choice.

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

  • Can I link iPhoto with Photoshop Elements Editor?

    The new AppStore PSE Editor doesn't seem to link with iPhoto like the full version

    If you're referring to iPhoto on your Mac:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Be sure to select the correct item in the Adobe Photoshop Elements folder as the external editor in iPhoto:
