Transform tool in Elements 4 not working

I'm trying to use the transform tool in Elements 4. All seems to be well until I hit the return key to activate the changes and then nothing happens. The image remains on screen with the transform perspective change visible but it doesn't actually make the change. I use an iMac with OSX.10.5.5
Can anyone offer advice?

No, what I did is still there visible on screen but not applied to the image. I'm finding it quite hard to explain using the correct terminology but if you visualise pulling the top triangles in so that two triangular sections appear on the edges (giving me, if the change would be applied, sides that are parallel to the sloping verticals in the image - which is the distortion I'm trying to correct), then committing this change, the marching ants disappear, the two triangular sections on the edges remain visible but no correction is applied to the image.
Does this help to describe my problem? Even more relevant, perhaps, is that I tried loading PSE3 into a PC and exactly the same problem emerged with transform perspective commands.
I'm sure you are right about my workflow. There is some fundamental issue that I haven't addressed properly. I don't need Photoshop much for the sort of work I do. Almost everything is well handled by Lightroom. So I haven't actually used this part of Photoshop since giving up CS2 in my old PC.
Thank you again for your patience in trying to resolve this.

Eraser tool in Elements 8 not working

I just downloaded Elements 8 a few weeks ago. When I try to use the eraser tool, nothing happens. I reset the tool and still nothing. It seems that it doing something because when I go to the Edit menu, I am able to undo the eraser. But I can't see that anything has happened on my image. Please help. Thanks so much!

Try resetting the application preference files. Sometimes, the tool reset alone doesn't do the trick.
If on Windows, press and hold in the ctrl + shift + alt keys as you launch the editor. Do not release these three keys...ctrl + shift + alt. A dialog box will come up saying something like "Delete Photoshop Elements settings file?". After this dialog comes up, you can release those three keys. Click "OK" to accept. Application settings will be set to factory default and eraser tool should work as expected.
If on a Mac, follow the above instructions except change the shortcut combination to cmd + shift + opt.
If the above solution does not work....

Why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing and then it says there is an error and closes itself

why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing then error and shuts itself down.

Three things you can try:
1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
2. Perform an SMC reset:

Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

Hello,
We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
Any pointers how to do it please
Thanks
Krishna

Hi,
WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

Remove Element does not work

Hi Experts,
I want to loop over a node and remove all elements in this node if they don't match a certain pattern (which needs to be checked by getting the details o these elements).
So looping over the node and checking whether the pattern matches works pretty fine (I've checked by using a counter variable which counts the number of matches and compares to the total size of the node). But removing the elements does not work.
I always get the complete table as the result but not without all those elements I that they'd be removed already. I also check the success status (boolean) of the remove function and it delivers always "true" so it seems to work.
This is the relevant coding:
       for(int c = 0 ; c < wdContext.nodeMatnrlist().size() ; c++){
          wdContext.nodeMatnrlist().moveTo(c);
          GetMaterialDetails(wdContext.currentMatnrlistElement().getMaterial());
          if(!wdContext.currentMaterialDetailsElement().modelObject()
.getOutput().getMaterial_General_Data().getCreated_By().equals("BAIV-SS09-21")){
               success = wdContext.nodeMatnrlist().removeElement(wdContext.nodeMatnrlist().getCurrentElement());
               counter++;
any Ideas on this?
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers
Tobias

Hi Tobias.
Try this instead:
wdContext.nodeMatnrlist().invalidate();

Clone Stamp Tool and Healing Brush not working - why?

As pointed out in the thread subject line, both the clone stamp tool and healing brush are not working for me in Photo Elements 7.
When I am attempting to use it, I get the message: "Could not use clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined". Well, this is not the case since I did define it with command Alt + left mouse click.
Background:
Photo Elements 7 is installed in Windows XP Professional SP3. The latter runs as a virtual O/S with Sun VirtualBox on host SuSE Linux 11.1 (Gnome).
I have run out of ideas as to what the problem could be, so I am requesting assistance from the forum community. Thank you very kindly in advance for replies.

Do you mean photoshop elements 7 and not premiere elements?
The fix posted above only applies to linux os systems, which is
different from mac and windows.
On windows vista Alt+left click is to set the clone source.
Try the following steps one at a time.
1. reset the clone stamp tool by clicking triangle on the far left of the
tool options bar and select reset tool.
2. Go to Edit>Preset Manager and click Done in the dialog that appears.
3. Reset the elements 7 preferences by holding down the Shift+Alt+Ctrl keys
at the same time you start elements 7. In the dialog that appears, click yes.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop Elements seems not work anymore

As a user of Photoshop Elements 11 on my Apple Notebook, I had a problem today. All the tool buttons did not work anymore and the pictures I wanted to edit were not shown in the workspace, but right under in in an extra window. Because of that problem I removed Elements 11 and I downloaden version 12 from the Apple store. But the problem is still not solved. Anyone familiar with this problem? Suggestions for solutions?@

That library is hidden in recent versions of OS X. To see it, click the the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
Also, if you have a wacom tablet, be sure your drivers are up to date.

Hand tool using spacebar does not work to move an image

When using another tool on an image, I hit the spacebar to move around in the image but the Hand tool does not work.
I've renamed the folder 12.0 under %appdata%/roaming/adobe/Photoshop Elements and that works until I close Elements 12 and then reopen it.

Suggest that you delete preferences.
In Editor, expert tab, go to Edit>preferences>General. Look for this:
Reset, close PSE, launch again.

Elements 10 not working and uninstall not working either help please?

Elements 10 does not work and I have tried to uninstall it with the intention of re-installing. When I press un-install it tells me it is still uninstalling or changing the program but this has been happening for three hours? Windows installer is saying 'cancelling' the same for two hours. I am stuck please help. Many thanks in advance from a well qualified luddite!

Update - I am manually un-installing because as I can't get photoshop to work - (it says it is scanning for updated and never stops -) I assume it is corrupt. I have selected it and then uninstalled - had no further options offered to me and now it is saying ' please wait until the current program is finished unistalling or being changed' I am totally confused. Now I am getting the message 'Install server not responding' Please help.
