Secret editable layer groups in photoshop elements.

Layer groups being opened and manipulated,
just like in photoshop.

Another way of testing a recorded action or testing any action
before installing one in photoshop elements. With this script
you can load one action set or ten or more action sets for
testing. Also an action can be set to run more than once in a
row.

Edit images in Adobe Photoshop Elements

I am helping a student who is running iPhoto on Maverick. He wants to edit his images in Photoshop Elements. We set his preferences to do this but when he selects an image and clicks on Edit, all he gets is the welcome page of Photoshop Elements. The image doesn't open in Elements. What could we be doing wrong?

Previous versions would install a folder with the file you want, Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app, buried one layer down in another folder named Support Files. That's the one you want to select from iPhoto.
I don't know if the layout of the installed files is the same with the newest version. However, the following may be of help:
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..
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:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Importing layer groups from photoshop to flash cs4

Hi everyone,
I have about 5 layer groups in Photoshop and in each of the groups/folders there are some layers with some text and other layers with isolated images and also layers with some layer styles. When I import this file into Flash I need each of the layer groups to be imported as a flattened bitmap image. I don't want any of the text to be editable or to have any of the layer styles intact. So if there are 5 layer groups in Photoshop, I just need five bitmap images in flash. I've tried doing this but it still imports the layers separately. I know I can flatten the groups in Photoshop but I want to keep this file editable.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Appreciate any help.

Then why not flatten it (BUT not save it) and import it into flash THEN revert the photoshop file (CTRL+Z) so it will still be editable version?
Yeah I know that's an option but I just thought there might be a quicker way, but maybe not.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

HOW CAN I EDIT MY PHOTOS IN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 ? JB

Duplicate. Please keep replies in this thread:
how can i edit in photoshop elements 10 ?

The editing "Guided" mode of Photoshop Elements 11 not works!

Using the editing "Guided" mode of Photoshop Elements 11 the working progress line hangs at 75% and Guided mode not works ! The "Quick" and "Expert" mode, instead, working well.
Attention, please! I specify that I use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I don't have AntiVirus or Firewall actived... I have already tried to delete all Preferences, all Elements 11 cache folders, etc., tried to uninstall and re-install the Software... but without success. I hope that you can help me.

About the editing Guided mode of Photoshop Elements not working.
My FINAL solution to the problem. (But I hope also for an Adobe intelligent patch...)
I finally understand why the the "Welcome screen..." and the IMPORTANT editing "Guided" did not work in Photoshop Elements 11 (or with Photoshop Elements 10); the "Guided" panel does not appear with the options but, on the right, the progress bar hangs at 75% of the options panel and the panel remains empty.
After days of hard work and after many attempts on the Adobe Troubleshooting, I realized that the problem depends by Mac OS X anti-malware functions (XProtect process). But I have not figured out why the issue did not showed running PSE into a new account; maybe, it is because Mac OS X still not intercepted always and blocked the old Flash Player plug-in, installed by PSE11. Examining System Preferences and Security Panel -> Advanced, you see the option that enables automatic control by Mac OS X for the Malware black-list.
As may be seen in the attached screeshot, if you open with XCode or with a text editor the file "/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/ Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist" you can read that Mac OS X (from 10.6 Snow Leopard) inserted the old versions of Flash Player plug-in (minor of "11.3.300.271") into the black list plug-ins, to block they.
I do not understand why Adobe has left this obsolete "Flash Player.bundled" plug-in in Photoshop Elements 11 or 10! PSE11, in fact, does not use the "Flash Player.bundle" plug-in but it uses "AdobeSWFL.bundle", contained into "System_Disk/Library/Application Support/Adobe/APE/3.101/adbeapecore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/". Does maybe Adobe ignores, perhaps, the existence of a BlackList in Mac OS X that blocks the Flash Player plug-in prior to version 11.3.300.271? ... Is that really useful to install this obsolete Plug-In (for Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.5) if PSE11 works from version 10.6 "Snow Leopard" onwards?
The Flash Player plug-in installed by PSE11 is the old version "10.1.82.73" as you can read in it info.plist file (or in my screenshot attached here) and I think that if you use Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion you can delete it because, as we read in his file "Info.plist", the plug-in is only for Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 ...
An hypothesis about the occasional occur of issue about "Guided" mode or "Welcome screen" not working is that PSE11, at start-up, makes a "program's call" to the old "Flash Player" plug-in installed by PSE11 and PSE10 and the system, peraphs, intercept this call through "xprotect" process that runs in the background; so, Mac OS X blocks the function of PSE11 based on Flash Player as, indeed, the "Welcome screen" and the editing function "Guided".
Or the problem lies in a behavior of PSE at startup that it due to old ACL permissions existing into Home's folders (because belong the previous Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.6 version). PSE thinks of having to boot the old Flash Player plug-in containded in APE. This would explain why PSE runs well and "Guided "PSE mode works if start-up creating a new account!
Note! Utility Disc does not correct, by default, the ACL permission in Home!!! Adobe, then, rather than suggesting to create new accounts ... must correct PSE by removing any reference to the old Flash Player plug-in. Otherwise, there is always the risk that Mac OS X prevents proper operation.
I tried to rename it or remove this plug-in and PSE11 always work well, but for pedantry, I preferred this solution:
- I installed the latest version of Flash Player from the Adobe site.
- I opened the package to "/ Library / Internet \ Plug-Ins/Flash \ Player.plugin/Contents/PlugIns/FlashPlayer-10.6.plugin/Contents /"
- I copied the four objects (Folder MacOS and Resources folder and files: info.plist and version.plist)
and
glued them in "Adobe/APE/3.101/adbeapecore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Flash Player.plugin / Contents /" overwriting existing ones.
I have one more doubt left: I have not yet enabled the iCloud option for the Photo Streaming and the iTunes Match sync; this functionalities was enabled in my old account when PSE did not working.. I hope that PSE11 will work well even when I will enable these features to sync with my Apple accounts...
See the Mac OS X Plug-In Black List

If I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements, I can't seem to re-import it back into Lightroom. If I open the relevant folder on my Mac the image is present, but Lightroom just doesn't "see" it at all.

For some reason, my (Mac) Lightroom 5 won't recognise images in folders on my Mac that I've edited in either Photoshop Elements or Perfect Effects 8. If I've previously imported images from a specific folder, Lightroom will show these as greyed-out images (as normal) but will not show other images I've subsequently saved in that folder. Similarly, if I, say, select three images from Lightroom to use the Photomerge option in Elements, the subsequent saved image won't be recognised by Lightroom.
I've tried moving locations, saving in umpteen different formats etc., but the problem persists. No problem importing existing images from either SD card or old folders on the computer.
It's very frustrating!

Ah-Ha! Right, think I've worked out the problem!
When I save a photo from Photoshop, I often place it on the desktop with a view to e-mailing it or posting it somewhere on the internet. I've just looked at the file that was supposedly saved as a .psd, but under "properties" it has no file extension. So I added the .psd and bingo, up it popped in the LR import window! I've since gone into Photoshop preferences & ticked it to add a file extension. That's really odd - I've never deselected that option but, hey ho, mystery solved.
Many thanks for your patience Mr Paige, I should have looked at this before. Put it down to advancing senility...

How can I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements and have the edit appear in Windows 7, My Pictures?

In Windows XP Pro, any edit I made to a photo in Photoshop Elements 10 appeared automatically in that photo in My Pictures. This does not happen in my new Windows 7 computer. Can I change that and have the edit from PE10 appear in My Documents/My Pictures?

When you finish editing choose:
File >> Save As
Then choose a file name and folder and save.

Problem with editing Aperture photos with Photoshop Elements 10

When I try to edit with Photoshop Elements 10, Aperture makes a tiff file, starts Photoshop Elements 10 and get to a screen where I have a choice between "editing" or "managing" files. I select editing but when i finally get the editing screen there is no photo to edit. Process worked fine in Elements 9 and Aperture 3.1. Anybody been able to roundtrip with Aperture 3.2.1 and Photoshop Elements 10?

(Aperture 3 and PSE 10; Lion; using Referenced files in Aperture)
I tried Barbara's recommended method and PSE now opens with the image displayed and accepts edits. However, when I save the adjusted image, what I get in Aperture is a TIFF file of that name but with no edits displayed.
When I go to the directory in which the referenced files are located, the adjusted file exists and I can view it.
So, (at least as I have things configured), when accessing PSE from Aperture I am able to make adjustments and save the adjusted file, but the adjusted file does not display in Aperture.
Is anyone having success with Barbara's method using referenced files?
I hope it is not necessary to do a separate import to get the adjusted file to display in Aperture - which would make PSE totally impractical for use.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Editing iPhoto pic in Photoshop Elements 4

I have read the messages of mainman and Dr. Livingstone regarding this issue and the replies but I do not have any option of choosing Photoshop Elements 4 in Preferences/General/Edit Photo which shows only "In Man Window", "Full Screen" "in Separate Window" and "in Lightroom" I have clicked on Lightroom and was taken to Applications where I selected Photoshop Elements 4 which now appears as a selection for editing photos. However, when I double click on a photo in iPhoto, it doesn't open in Photoshop. What else should I do or not do?
Also, from the Photoshop open menu, where to do I find iPhoto.app and where do I find iPhoto In Finder under Applications? iPhoto and iLife doesn't show up listed there.
Oh yes, iLife '08 and iPhoto '08 are the ones I use.
Thanks for your help.

What happens after you've selected PSE in the iPhoto preferences and then double click on a thumbnail? Does PSE open at all? Is there any activity of any kind?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I edit still photos in Photoshop Elements 10?

I just bought PE 10 and it appears to be only a video editing program. I am interested in using it for changing the coloring, deleting segments of the photo, using blur tools, etc. I cannot find any "tool bar" or options for this. Did I buy the wrong product?
Thanks for any help.

Premiere elements 10 is the video program and photoshop elements 10 is the pixel editor. (the one your asking about)
What operating system are you using?
Did you install both premiere elements and photoshop elements?
It may depend on how many disks you got as to what is on each disk:

Album Starter Edition 3.0 VS Photoshop Element 5.0

Photoshop Element 5.0 on a 30 day trail and I also downloaded Adobe Album Starter Edition 3.0. I did this to see what the difference was between them as I am going to go to an update verizon with Adobe that's like my PhotoDeluxe 4.0. I use PhotoDeluxe 4.0 mostly for editing and printing pictures.What I liked about PhotoDeluxe was the I could print different pictures oh one sheet. I don't know if the other two new programs do this. ( I am sure they do it just I haven't had time to research them.) I would be open to any suggestion or comments about which programs would best suit my needs.
Thank You

PSA SE has almost no editing capabilities.
PSE can do everything that PSA SE can do and lots else besides.
Both programs can print multiple pics on a sheet.

Editing People tags in Photoshop Elements 11

I just converted from Photoshop Elements 10 to 11. I can't find how to edit my people tags in 11. Is there away? If so what is it?

When you double click on a people stack, you can see that there is another switcher Faces<->People on the top left corner of the grid. You may switch to Faces view > right click > Assign as profile picture. The notes you added with People tags in previous versions are not brought upon conversion., unfortunately.

Edit Library Image in Photoshop Elements

It seems to be a hit or miss problem with updating images in
Captivate Library. I am retrofitting files some one else created. I
use Edit with... option and open in Photoshop Elements Edit exe.
The edits in Photoshop goes as planned.
I use Save from drop-down menu and then keyboard to Enter
default entries... sometimes the update Captivate screen flies
across the screen and update occurs in the Library. The majority of
the time the Photoshop file (saved in Temp) never updates in
Library. When I export again to Photoshop I can view changes ...
will not update slide background (with same name).
How can I streamline the edit images in Library feature?
Why doesn't Update option permit browsing?
Thank You!

Hi Tam D. and welcome to our community
I would think that PhotoShop may present an issue when
editing in this fashion. Why? I think this because the native
format for PhotoShop is .PSD file extension I believe. So I'm
wondering if it's even feasible to expect PhotoShop to make an edit
to something in .GIF, .JPG, .PNG or other type and save changes
directly to this type. I'm thinking you could hit a snag when
attempting this.
As for the Update option not allowing browsing, I suspect
it's because Captivate knows where it pulled an image from. So the
update function would probably only allow you to change the file
externally, then inside Captivate, update to ensure the copy stored
inside the Captivate .CP file matched what was on the hard drive.
Cheers... Rick
