Starting Adobe Photoshop Elements, the Editor returns the error message "Unable to continue because

installed photoshop elements 8.0 with Windows 7. Worked excellent till two days ago. I got the error message "Unable to continue because of hardware or system error. Removed programm and re-installed from disk, no results!

Are you trying to open the Organizer or the Editor?
Can you uninstall that driver, or re-set Win7 to a restore point before that driver was installed?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor Issue

Have downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Mac App Store onto my Mac Book Pro, set iPhoto preferences to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor, but when trying to open a file from my iPhoto library, the following message appears: "unable to complete your request because of a program error". What can I do to resolve this issue?

Are you able to edit an image file that's not in the iPhoto library with PSE 10?
Also the followinjg has some tips on configuring PSE for use inside iPhoto that you may or may not know about:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
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
Click to view full size
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 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
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:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Owned Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor for 6 weeks - upgrade?

I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor from the Mac App Store 6 weeks ago. I didn't need the organiser so the cut down version was perfect for me.
However, now Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor is out but there is no upgrade option and it seems a bit harsh to expect people who bought recently to buy it all over again for a few new gadgets.
I really expected to see an upgrade to 9 to sort out the bugs I found but I'd guess that's not gonna happen now.
Is the only option "buy the new version" and hope that the bugs have been fixed?
When I Alt click "remember" on the save properties, it'd be nice if it actually remembered and not keep reverting back to GIF.

Argh56 - I feel your pain.
I, too, just paid $80 for the app store version of Elements 9 very recently.   The update, Elements 10, is FULL price to me.
That is rediculous.   Rediculous.
Charge me $20 in-app for the upgrade. Charge me $40, if you must Adobe, but asking me to pay another $80 is absurd.
The Adobe website says that app store download version of Elements will "qualify" for an upgrade price. What is the upgrade price? $80 - the same a brand new user would pay!
It is business practices like this that really anger those customers on whom Adobe has built its success. I used Photoshop for years, and Elements for the last few years. I enjoy the product and am familiar with how it works.
However, right now.... where I'm sitting... I am oh so close to clicking on the "buy" button for Aperature and giving my $80 to a company that treats its customers better.
Maybe this is what we all need to do to communicate with Adobe in the language they speak - $$$. (Similar to the OWS 99%ers are telling the big banks?)
Honestly - this is no way to treat loyal customers.
Holly G.
P.S. I don't believe those who defend this highway robbery by saying that something about the Apple app store makes Adobe charge this much for the update. Baloney. I buy upgrades in-app all the time.

In Aperture using the external photo editor Adobe photoshop elements 10 editor. My photo will not come back to aperture unless the photo is saved on the desktop and then imported back to Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor as external editor in Aperture. The issue is once i make the changes in Photoshop it request that I save (use tiff) and the photo is not update in Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Marianne,
how do you save? Photoshop Elements can save either versions or overwrite the original file, afaik.
You need to set the save preferences, so that it will write to the original file and not write a version. Also the filename extension should be "tiff" and not the default "tif" (I think you did that already).

After re-installing Win 7 64 on my computer, and attempting to install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, I now get the following message: "This version of Photoshop Elements requires MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to be installed". Does anyone have

After re-installing Win 7 64 on my computer, and attempting to install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, I now get the following message: "This version of Photoshop Elements requires MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to be installed". Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is? It has always worked in the past.

I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

Adobe Downloading Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 MultipleLanguages Windows The Akamai Download Manager has encountered an fatal error: File not found.

I am trying to download the trial of PSE 13 which consists of two files. The first downloads ok but on the second I get this message:

The Akamai Download Manager has encountered an fatal error: File not found.
Same thing happens if I try to download the files individually and also in different browsers. Any ideas?

Me three. I have been trying for hours, and have used three different browsers.
I have just noticed that the URL it is trying to use is looking for ...win32.exe under a directory called win64. That sounds like a stupid typo mistake. I manually modified the URL to this instead (and it downloaded something)...

Adobe photoshop Elements 12 Editor - launch problem

Hi,
Can anyone help!
I downloaded adobe photoshop elements 12 editor. When I open the application the page goes straight to 'create' (ready for editing) I looked up some tutorials and noticed that the first page should launch with an option to 'Oraganise' Or 'Create'. This page does not appear for me! ? I have no way of importing/organising my photos into the Elements Library. I do not HAVE a library!
I can import my files straight from the DS card in RAW, but it takes a long time to search for each individual photo that way. Can anyone help??

If you can launch the editor after a re-start go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Click the button to reset preferences on next launch. Close the editor and re-open again.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (Editor)

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (Editor) kann beim hochfahren des PC problemlos geöffnet werden, ok! Wird der Editor, bei laufendem PC, ausgestellt und steht dabei nicht auf "Experte", kann der Editor nicht mehr geöffnet werden. Der PC muss neu gestartet werden, um den Editor zu öffnen! Problem am 26.11.13 mit Herrn Samt (Adobe Support Center) besprochen, leider habe ich bis heute kein Feedback erhalten!

If you can launch the editor after a re-start go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Click the button to reset preferences on next launch. Close the editor and re-open again.

How to import photos from iPhoto Library to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor?

I can't use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit photos from iPhoto Library. If I choose File, Open, and then select 'iPhoto Library', error message is "could not complete your request because of a program error."

You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor

I purchased and installed for the Apple Shop, Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor yesterday but I cant seem to get it working. Devastated!
Can anyone please assist me? Refer to the error attached.
Thanks very much for your help.

Guys,
You are right. Something very different about this version through MAS. I thought there was something screwy that even though the info in MAS said it could be installed in one of four different languages there was no option for which language.
Double checking this I got forced into buying it from MAS. Purchase made before I could back out and installation was automatic over which there was no control.
I can't find anything on my Lion drive about unistall.
Like I said PSE earlier versions had always let you set location and language as part of the install. And the install also included an unistaller for that app.
I wound up with an English installation which I guess is based on my location and account in MAS.
meino-w where did you download to, meaning your location?
I have to say that I am not impressed with how MAS handles this. It is also a different package than you would get from Adobe.
I am sorry that I don't have any answers, I am left with just questions myself.

Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.
