Tilt Shift has stopped working in Elements

I can no longer use the tilt shift or depth of field feature in photoshop 11. Is there a fix for this?

At the far right of the tool options section, there's a four-lined square. Click it and choose Reset Tool:

Hi, my blur tool has stopped working in Elements 11

Any suggestions?
Thanks Mark

At the far right of the tool options section, there's a four-lined square. Click it and choose Reset Tool:

"Adobe elements has stopped working."

I've received the error "Adobe elements has stopped working" and then the program closes. It has happened numerous times and now happens more and more often. Does anyone have any fixes for this?

I've been having the same problem.
Win7 64bit 8GB RAM, 500GB free hard drive space. All Win updates in place on a regular basis (last time was 2 days ago).
I often get the "stopped working" popup message on my desktop right after I close the program (well, yeah, I would hope it would stop working when I close it) and also increasingly get it on the desktop when I open the program (before the PE12 screen opens). This latter popup "stopped working" message will persist until I close the popup window, even though the program is working just fine.
The most occurrences of actual crashes seem to be when doing a lot of titles (new or editing existing), when saving, and when exporting.
For awhile it seemed (very subjectively) that rendering the project before saving or exporting possibly helped reduce the number of occurrences, but just now the "stopped working" message popped up and the program quit while I was rendering (got about 80% through).
This time I checked the "check online for a solution" box, but to no avail--there was a brief period while Windows searched online, and then the program shut down anyway.
I've tried rebooting, making sure other programs were closed, etc. but nothing really seems to have much effect. The same project will save or export just fine on one occasion, then if I so much as change a word in a title it will become unstable. The entire project is 26 minutes long. One video track (2) with titles, one main video track (1), one audio track (mostly empty) of ambient sound with the video, one sound track.
I will try Steve's suggestion of Ctrl-Alt-Shift for awhile on opening. (This helps when PSE tools freeze up.) Thanks for the tip!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working... how can I make it work?

Hi. I have just bought a new copy of Photoshop Element 9. It installed OK, but when I try to open the Editor, I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem", followed shortly by the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". The only option then is Close Program. The Organizer has the same problem.
Does anyone know how to get it to work? It hasn't just stopped working, it has never worked at all. If anyone at Adobe are monitoring this thread, please can you tell me what the problem is and how to sort it out? I tried the Adobe call-back service but all I got was a computer phoning me up, and no person available.

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.

Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working

I cannot get my elements to work. The following message pops up when I go to the front "editor" page:
"Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working".
It's urgent that Elements works now - I don't have time to troubleshoot while I am editing 4,000 photos
Thank you,
Catherine

This is the only way I have found to use PSE-12 since the "Stopped Working" problem appeared; Perhaps Adobe can use this work-around to solve the problem:
1. Press Shift and hold (until thumbnails appear).
2. Open Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE)
3. Select "My Catalog" or what you call it. (Note: I have PSE open Organizer directly. I have 2 catalogs, My Catalog and Selling.)
4. If you have 2 catalogs you must open "My Catalog" first.
5. When the thumbnails appear you can release the Shift key. You are in business.
6. To open the other catalog use File/Manage Catalogs, Select the other catalog and click Open. (Note: If you open the secondary/other catalog first PSE will stop working.)
This is a little more work to get started but I have been using it for 2-3 weeks now without the "Stopped Working" occurring. Good Luck.

Elements 11 has stopped working. Please help?

Yesterday my computer shut down while I was working in Photoshop Elements 11. Now when I try to get back in, it reads error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working. Windows is trying to find a solution". But it never does and then Editor just closes. I looked at the forum and tried a few things people posted but nothing is working. Please help.

The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. This is because PSE saves your settings each time you close the application. Problems can sometimes occur if you don’t let the program close properly or if you launch another application too quickly whilst closing down Elements. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts. To begin, close Elements.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

Photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, how do I fix this?

photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, How do I fix this?

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 doesn’t find problems.
Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails. Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.

Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working

I have an updated Win 8 64 bit laptop which i have just installed Elements 13 on. My first encounters with this software results in this error:
When select the organiser, i get a message:
"Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
Close program"
I cant get past this.
Hope for some help please!

Hi - this is an old, old one....Got tired of non-answers from Adobe. Well I succeeded in fixing it (apologies for my English). In my case, I found out that the problem was caused by corrupted catalog files. This is what I did to isolate:1) Held the shift key and started Organizer. 2) Selected Manage Catalogs 3) Selected a different catalog from the one that was in use 4) The problem disappeared so the conclusion was that the previous catalog was causing the problem. This is what I did to fix it: 1) went back to manage catalogs 2) selected the faulty catalog 3) selected the Repair catalog option 4) In my case, the application told me the application gave me a message indicating that the catalog had no issues...5) well i went ahead and clicked the Repair option and it seems it did repair it. 6) I selected this repair catalog as the current catalog 7) Organizer has been running since then. I really this help can help someone out there. I was really angry at the support from Adobe

I purchased Premiere Elements 13 a few weeks ago, it downloads without issue, but I can't open it. I get an error message that reads "Elements 13 has stopped working" HELP!!!

I purchased this online, downloaded it without issue, and it won't open. I get an error message that states "Elements 13 has stopped working"
I have removed it and redownloaded it several times, and still no luck... HELP!
When I contacted Adobe support that's all they suggested, to reinstall...

What computer operating system?
Uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled is not a bad idea. But, let us look at some other
factors before that.
1. When you try to open the program, how far do you get....Welcome Screen - clicking on Organizer or Video Editor or other?
Have you tried to open the program directly from the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file after you have applied Run As Administrator to that file?
2. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working in a school or company network?
3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the website of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you running the programs as administrator?
Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details in your reply.
Besides uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall, we may next try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole 13 Folder in which it
exists or installing the program in a newly created user account with administrative privileges and trying to run the program from there.
But, let us rule in or out the first 4.
Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

HI i have tried so many times to import images, both pictures and video from my hard drive to elements 131, and it keeps coming up with the error message " .....has stopped working we are looking for a solution to this problem etc " please help!

After taking days to upload elements 13 I am now having trouble even trying to import my images and videos into the program for editing.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.1 update)
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?

Unable to launch Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Says AdPrE10 has stopped working

I downloaded Adobe Premiere Elements and bought a product license via my workplace.
I was able to install successfully, but when I launch the program, it says Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working. I have not been able to launch the program. I was having the same issues when I was using the trial version. Please help,
I need to work on editing videos rightaway and it is ridiculous that a program that I have paid money to buy is not even launching to begin with. I can't even imagine the trouble I am going to have trying to use this version.
Please don't send me thousands of instructions on downloading and installation. I have been able to download and install and added my serial key number. I see the icon on the desktop, It just doesn't launch. See error image.
Thanks

I am not looking for sarcasm.
Let's address that for a moment.
I replied to your OP about 8 mins. after it was moved here. Much of that time was gathering the links to those articles, most of which I wrote, and have bookmarked. Each contains several links (one, probably 15 links).
In ~ 30 mins. you report that there was nothing helpful in any of those articles or the ones linked to, from them. Though I wrote the articles (most anyway), it would have taken me that long to read each article, and just open the links, with almost zero time to do any of the things suggested. Just tracking down error and warning messages in Event Viewer, and following the links in any of those, would have taken at least that long.
You state that you had the same issues with the trial version.
I had the same issue when I was trying to use the trial version.
In the world of troubleshooting, this is a pretty fair indicator that there is something wrong with your computer, or your OS. If nothing else, it indicates that a problem existed before your recent installation of PrE.
Now I will have to search for return/exchange options since it is not launching by double clicking like every program does.
Actually, Adobe makes this part very easy. Just return their software, within 30-days of purchase, and you get your money back.
Sorry that I could not help you,
