This is the screenshot that did not get inserted into my reply. As mentioned, once I click OK, my program freezes up... I can still use other programs on my computer.

By relaunching Organizer, I mean close Elements Organizer and Editor if they are open > Delete both the files I mentioned earlier > NOw open the organizer again.
Can you please attach the screenshot of the preferences dialog that comes up when you go for creating slideshow?
Thanks,
Anwesha

Anwesha, I captured the security on my photoshop elements 10 as well as for the system to run as administrator. The system still freezes up.

Screen problems with photoshop elements 10

I installed Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements.
Premiere Elements works allright, but Photoshop E 10 gives screen problems.
De menu's on the top roll out, but there is no text in them.
The screen in Organiser is distorted.
I reinstalled P E 10 but the same problem accurs.
I dit a computer reset to an earlier date and installed Ph.E. 10 again but the same problem. No text in the topmenus and a distorted screen in Organiser.
Letters become 6x larger than normal.
All my other programms work fine. I never had screenproblems.
I use Elements 8 now again and that works fine.
I use: Windows 7
Card: NVIDEA GeForce GT 220 resolution 1680x1050
Do I have to remove Elements 8 before installing Ellements 10? Is that perhaps the problem?

Ken, The problem is: The buttons don't work. So I cannot use Edit...
But:
I reïnstalled Adobe Elements 10 for the 4th time
Cleaned my register again.
restarted my computer
Did a computer reset to an earlier date
Installed Elements 10 again but .......not the try version of Premiere Elements.
Now Elements 10 has a normal screen.
This was a try and error sollution. I hope it will last.

Remove Green Screen with Adobe Photoshop Elements

Hi,
I have setup a Green Screen in my home. I took some pictures of my wife with the Green Screen Background and want to remove the Green Screen and replace with a different background. I was able to do this via the Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 but need help with the Photoshop Elements.
Any help is appreciated.
Sridhar

FWIW, She is really easy to select on that green screen if you use a few tricks. The screen shots are in CS3 my preference but worked with Elements limitations to show you how easy she can be selected without any filters.
My end product doesn't look as good as Mark's though. That's a tough act to follow. Thought I'd post this anyway just in case you couldn't get that filter to work in Photoshop Elements 7,
First, make a copy of the image and desaturate it to make it black and white. I prefer using Hue/Saturation from the image menu (CTRL U) and moving desat slider down to -100. Next Invert it (CTRL I), then run levels from the image menu (CTRL L) to push the image towards pure white and black...well close. It should look something like this when these steps are done.
Copy this image to a new layer. (Just in case something goes wrong so you don't have to repeat the last steps). Leave the copy in Normal blend mode. Grab your paint brush tool. Set the brush tool's mode to Overlay blend mode. You will use black and white paint to push dark gray to black and light gray to white. When done, it should look something like this:
Not perfect...I did this really fast and was a bit sloppy and didn't get all of my light grays pushed to whites. Probably not a problem for the hair edges but would need to be fixed for face and body areas as this will be a mask to make the selection.
Select mask that was just made and copy it into your clipboard. Select<All; Edit<Copy. Create and adustment layer mask that has a mask. I used the Solid Color Fill Adjustment layer. Alt click the mask of the adjustment layer you created. It will turn the document white. This is because the mask is now the focus. Now paste. Edit<Paste. This will paste the above mask into the adjustment layer mask. Now, either alt click the mask or click on another layer to remove the focus from the mask. You'll use this adjustment layer as a base to a clipping mask. See next paragraph.
The Solid color fill layer (or whatever you picked) with your mask is going to be the base on which your selection will be built. Create a copy of your original image up above this base layer. Now, hold in the alt key and move your curser in the layers pallete to the line separating these two layers. Notice the cursor changes to an odd symbol...a solid ring and a hollow ring with an arrow. Click the palette on the line separating these two layers. (Release alt key when done.) She should now be covering the mask you created. Areas that are white in the adjustment layer mask will show the original image; areas in black in the adjustment layer mask will be transparent. (Areas that contain shades of gray would be semi-transparent...amount based on the gray's brightness value.)
For the green cast on the edges, I removed that by using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to remove the green spill over. If you only wanted to effect the girl and not a new background add it to clipping mask. (Same way...alt click the line between her image and the Hue/Saturation layer.)
Not perfect but this is what I came up with based on the above mask:

Catalogue Freezes in Photoshop Elements 12 in Windows 7 on desktop

I am trying to transfer Photoshop Elements 12 Catalogue to a new computer, (from W7 to W8.1) but when backing up my catalogue on W7 I get as far as 62% and Photoshop stops responding. I have repaired and checked the catalogue in Catalogue manager and tried to backup to severaal different Hard Drives with no success. Can I just copy the catalogue and move it to the new pc?

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
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.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

Photo Downloader APD hangs freezes in Photoshop Elements 9 when camera or iphone 4S selected

I can't get any new images downloaded off my devices. I usually do this with Photo Downloader in the Photoshop Elements 9 Organiser ... I go into Get Photos > from camera or card reader, then select the relevant device (iphone 4S or Canon 40D). As expected it asks to select a device, whcih I do, but then it gets stuck on "connecting to devlce, please wait". I first noticed this problem with my iphone 4S but have since not been able to download from camera either.
I am running Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 9, using iphone 4S with latest version of software and latest itunes.
I have tried:
I have updated the software from within elements (detected camera raw 6.5 needs updating; done) and the problem persists.
I have optimised/ repaired the catalog
There seem to be threads relating to hanging when you try to change the location in downloader. That is not my problem. Camera raw 6.5 seemed to cause the problem in that case. Today I have just updated my elements software (it detected camera raw 6.5 required installation so I suppose I must have been running the previous version of camera raw). Hence camera raw 6.5 not the problem in this case? If it's relevant, a hard drive search detects camera raw.8bi 16 Sept 2011 19012kb in c:\programfiles\commonfiles\adobe\plugins\elements9 as well as camera raw.8BI with 8 Sept 2010 10179kb in c:\program files\adobe\adobe premiere elements 9\apd\photo downloader\plugins
This happened around the time I upgraded the iphone 4S software (friday 24 August 2012) to the latest version.
Thanks for reading
Kimberley

To check that the update installed correctly go to the Editor menu and click:
Help >> About Plug-in >> Camera Raw
You should see a pop up with the version number.
Press Esc to close.

The screen of my photoshop elements 12 moved too far up in my mac and i cannot bring it down... any ideas? I cannot access the first ⅓ of the screen...

I need help. My PE had been working properly and now I cannot access the top ⅓ of the screen. How can I fix this?

Quit the organizer and then go to your username>library>Application Support>Adobe>Elements Organizer>12.0>Organizer and delete status.dat. That library is hidden. To see it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.

Sync with Photoshop Elements 6.0?

Does anyone know whether iTunes / Apple TV supports Photoshop Elements 6.0?
I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 6.0 yesterday, and now when I select "Photoshop Elements" on the Photos tab of the Appple TV in iTunes 7.4.3, no albums show up (whereas with Elements 5.0 I was syncing many albums and 5000 photos successfully).

Scott--
This is what suggestion #4 of the Adobe TechNote "Troubleshoot system errors or freezes in Photoshop Elements 6.0 (Windows XP)" says --
To re-create the Photoshop Elements registry values:
Disclaimer: This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before editing it. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.
Exit Photoshop Elements.
Choose Start > Run.
In the Open box, type regedit. Click OK to open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\common\settings key in the left-hand pane of Registry Editor.
With the settings key selected in the left pane, choose File > Export, enter a filename and location, then click Save.
In the right-hand pane, Ctrl+click the following values: COLOR_SETTINGS, PRINT_UNITS, RESET_WARNINGS, SHOW_WELCOME, STARTUP_APP
Choose Edit > Delete. Click Yes in the Confirm Value Delete dialog box.
Go to File > Exit to close the Registry Editor.
Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements create new registry values.
If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the original name of the previous preferences file. To restore the registry values, double-click on the registry backup file created in step 5 of the instructions above.

How to open a screenshot in Photoshop Elements 9

How do you open a screen shot in Photoshop Elements 9?

Thanks so much. This is how I remember doing it in my old version of Elements. Apparently you have to have the full version now in order for this function to work? That kind of sucks. Do you know any other way of opening/using/editing screen shots? Thanks for your help.

Importing Photos From Photoshop Album To Photoshop Elements 9

I recently transfered about 14,000 photos from Adobe Photoshop Album into a new computer with Photoshop Elements 9 installed. In Photoshop Album, I often edited my photos and saved the originals. However, only the edited version appeared on the organizer screen. With Photoshop Elements installed, a thumbnail appeared for each Album-edited photo on the organizer screen as a version set with tags and photo description in place but no image. In most cases clicking on the black right-pointed arrow brings up another imageless box (to the right of the previous thumbnail) that is identical to the first one, tags and all. In a few other cases, the edited image appears to the right with tags. The latter isn't too bad since I can delete the original imageless thumbnail from the organizer.
I have tried importing a couple of files of photos from the new hard drive into the organizer. I get the original which is tagged and the edited photos untagged. I want to be able to bring up my edited photos when I use certain keyword tags rather than the originals so don't have to hunt for them in the organizer. At the same time, I want to avoid having to retag several thousand edited photos. Can anyone help. Thanks for reading this message.

Hi Fred,
I don't recommend using this software for anything other than
cataloging. If you want to move your images you should consider
Photoshop Elements because it is meant to perform this activity. PSA SE
is just a little cataloging applet that would get really confused if you
even tried it. You would have to completely redo your catalog.
Cheers

I receive a message asking me to remove Photoshop Elements

Hi Jeff,
I need some help, please....
My download completed; I want to finish the install. I click on "Open Bundle", and it tells me to "Please wait while the downloaded files are being extracted."
The extraction completes and following this, I get a screen that says:
Files Are Ready
Downloads files have been extracted and saved.
a.. Launch Adobe Photoshop Elements 10
b.. Open the Specified folder
I click on the first box... "Launch..." and the next screen says:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Setup
The InstallShield Wizard will allow you to remove Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. To continue, click "Next"
Do I really want to click next to remove it? I want to install it, not remove it!!
Thanks,

If you go to Programs & Features if Photoshop Elements 10 already listed there? Perhaps you have already installed the software previously?

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 freezes on startup

Hi,
I am having issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, When I first load the software, it asks me if I want to use the "Organize" or the "Edit". When I choose "Edit", it loads the program, but I am unable to click on any options or toolbars as it freezes for around 3 minutes (says not responding) until it eventually kicks in and loads, I am then able to use the software perfectly.
On startup, is it trying to run updates or talk to Adobe for any reason, and can I turn this off?
Also, has anyone had the same problem? Help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ian

OK let’s deal with the Editor. The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on the desktop icon for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Version 10.0 FREEZING~

Hello, there. I'm having some issues with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, version 10.0.
For some reason, every single time I click on "Editor", it will freeze after it gets to the FINAL screen saying "Initializing".
I'm running Windows 7 64bit, Toshiba Sattelite
Software came as a bundle, for Christmas, with my new Intuos Creative Pen and Touch tablet.
I'm a graphics artist and NEED this photoshop to add watermarks and texts to the works I make.
I've tried giving it more than an hour to load up, emptied my disc spaces, defrag'd my harddrives, cleared my settings..
Everything listed on these forums. None of these seem to work.
I even tried contact Adobe Customer Support.. but they said they no longer help people with support once they come out with a newer model for sale.
(A HUGE dissapointment, mind you)
So, I'm going to include a screenshot of the way it's behaving here, so there is NO mix up on the issue at hand.

Any advice on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks a ton~

Freezing is very common in the last two weeks because USA itself is frozen with vortex of snow and ice. I hear white bears are roaming streets NYC.
In your case, assuming you are sitting in a warm room, give three finger salute AND click on the Editor icon to see if it clears the preferences file and start in default mode. To do this:
1) Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT and Click on the Editor icon at the welcome screen. the process is similar to this one at this link: <http://forums.adobe.com/message/5983210#5983210> except that you need to click on the Editor icon.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop elements 10 freezes and won't allow me to sign in.

I've installed photoshop elements 10. Serial # is accepted. I try to open the application on my mac and it freezes. No sign in and I have to force quit the application. Does anyone have any suggestions because Chat support is apparently only for the new versions.

When PSE 10 came out, there was a free account at photoshop.com, but adobe has since shut that down and replaced it with revel. PSE 10 doesn't know anything about that, though, so it will keep looking for the old server if you try to sign in. Best thing is just not to use the welcome screen at all. Go into applications and make dock icons for the editor and/or organizer from there and start them directly.
The editor is not the file you think it is. It's hidden inside the Support Files folder in the PSE 10 folder. You want this file:

Photoshop elements 6 freezes

Hi friends, I need some help...
Photoshop Elements 6 always freezes when trying to edit/fix any picture (guided edit, full edit, etc.)
I´ve uninstalled and installed again and again, but always the same.
Please, give me some advice here ¡!
Thanks in advance.
Regards and happy new year,
Carlos

...it was the catalog that was somehow corrupted
Thanks everybody for your help !!!!!!!!!!!!!
And ok, I'm going to think about upgrading the HD...
Thanks again,
Carlos
_cut & paste for the solution provided by Johnrellis_
Repair or create a catalog if the Organizer wont start
Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen. Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window. Select your catalog and click Repair. Select repair anyway even if PSE doesnt find problems. Then for good measure, click Optimize. (The documentation says that Optimize merely optimizes the performance of your catalog, but some people have reported that it also enabled catalog conversion to proceed after they initially encountered errors.)
If youve changed PSE 6 to start in the Organizer or Editor and thus cant get to the Welcome screen, start the Editor, do Window > Welcome, and in the lower-left corner change it back to Start Up With Welcome Screen.
If repairing the catalog doesnt help, repeat the steps above, but instead of clicking Repair, click New to create a new test catalog. If youre able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works correctly, then theres likely something about the old catalog that is corrupted in some other way. In that case, try recreating the Organizers thumbnails.
