Trouble making Layers In Photoshop Elements

I am using Photo Shop Elements 10 and Light Room 4, when I open a photo in Light Room 4, and then I transfer it from Lofht Room 4 directly Elements10, Elements 10 will open the photo, BUT I Can Not make a duplic ar any other type of Layer.
Any suggestions, the transfer is 8 bit PSE format.

Even if it is 16 bits channel you can change it to 8 bits channel under Image>Mode.
If the photo is already 8 bits/channel then that menu command would be grayed out.

  • Merging layers in Photoshop Elements 8

    I'm having trouble merging layers in photoshop elements 8. I have a .psd file that I have used in the past to add a background color, shape template, and restrict the size of images I have posted to my website. In the past I have used photoshop elements 6, and to accomplish what I'm trying to do I selected open-apple - G. This worked in the past, but is not bringing the layers together as expected. I went online and found that I could accomplish this by holding down option and clicking on the line that seperated the two layers, and this worked for me once and I have been unable to repeat it since. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to apply a style to these web photos, and it's simply not working for me. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

    Looking at your image, you do know you have a layer set/group,which is like a folder in the layer structure? You can't apply a layer style to a folder, which is what you're trying to do in your screenshot.
    This gets very confusing because of adobe's switching the names for these things around:
    1. You have what used to be called a layer set and is now called a layer group, which is a folder in the layer structure. PSE doesn't natively do these: is this your image with the group created via an add-on, or did someone send it to you this way?
    2. What used to be called layer groups are now called clipping masks. That's when you want to do something like crop the visible part of a layer to the shape of the layer beneath it.
    It's not really clear where you want the layer style, why you have a layer group, and which layer you want the style on. If you can explain more, it would help.

  • Making calendars in photoshop elements 7

    I am having trouble making a custom calendar in photoshop. I need to make a custom calendar for my online college class and I have made the picture but can not figure out how to make the calendar. I have tried the create photo calendar but it just takes me to a page a buy a calendar and I do not need that. I found another way to make the calendar by going to the display button on the top and going to the set date or the date button and have made it somewhat like that but can not figure out how to save it on my computer instead of just in the photoshop. I have photoshop elements 7 on my computer. I just can not figure out what to do and hope someone can help me.
    Thanks

    Hi Barbara,
    I know you can find them elsewhere online but it can be a bit of a minefield which is why I bought Elements 7.  As
    someone else pointed out on the forum, it seems Adobe just want to make a bit of extra money - the old meanies! lol
    Sue
    Quoting Barbara Brundage <[email protected]>:
    There's nothing to stop you from making calendars, just for some weird reason
    adobe doesn't want to include templates. But if you google "calendar template
    photoshop elements" without the quotes, you'll find a slew of calendar
    templates you can use in PSE.

  • Working on layers with Photoshop Elements 10

    Does Photoshop Elements 10 allow you to edit layers on something created in Photoshop? I have a map that is comprised of 4 layers that I'd like to edit.

    Layer groups - Can't change handle individual layers in a layer group (for example, when working on file created in full Photoshop). Ungroup layers for this.
    Supports only adjustment layer masks.
    There are other differences from PS which I found nicely mentioned at http://simplephotoshop.com/photoshop_elements/photoshopelements_vs_photoshop.htm.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Garry

    What is the best way to work on photographs, editing them, and preparing for print if I can't save layers as .jpg or non-layered .tiffs? The photo lab I will be using does not allow layered .tiff. I have seen many videos that show how to let's say enhance eyes using layers, but in this video it says that .jpg cannot be used. I am new to photography and PSE an would like to know if there is an alternative way to edit an image that can be saved as .jpg. Thank you!

  • Can I  Auto Blend layers in Photoshop Elements?

    I have seen face-swapping tutorials online using the "auto-blend layers" tool In Photoshop CS6. Is there a way to do the same thing in elements?
    Thanks for the help,
    Erik

    Hi Broad Arrow builders,
    99jon is right.
    However, that is assuming you already know the dimensions (99jon rightly describes setting the dimensions in advance) of the logo in advance, and you're going to use the logo you need for one specific use only. A logo you make in Photoshop Elements may not always remain clear and legible when you scale it up or down. I say that because logos will, generally, find their way into lots of places - letterheads, banners, T-shirt emblems, and other places. You might need different sizes for different needs.
    You might want to use a vector graphics tool like Illustrator for logo design.
    Phew! Okay - temporary fix - PSE 11 will work great! Permanent fix - for multiple designs and dimensions - you might need a different tool.
    Cheers,
    David

  • How can i save separate layers in photoshop elements 10, after i've laid them out as i want?

    i'm preparing photographs for an animation sequence that i'm planning to develop in adobe premiere 10.  now that i have the layers as i want them in photoshop elements 10,  i want to save them to a folder to import them into premiere and laid them in different video tracks.  how doi save them?
    Thanks!

    You can't. Once it's been flattened, you can't unflatten it. Talk to your designer: he/she will most likely have the unflattened version available.

  • Can you group layers in photoshop elements?

    deciding whether to buy photoshop elements or reg photoshop - need to be able to group layers and open layers from CS4 - can I do that with elements 13?

    To be able to work with layer groups in Elements 13, you need an add-on from an external software.
    For instance, the very affordable tool set from Elements+ ($12)has a script for that:
    file:///C:/Elements+/13.0/help_files/en/group-layers.htm
    See the other features:

  • Having trouble 'replacing colour' in Photoshop Elements 12 + help does not work?

    I was trying to use the 'replace colour' function as found by going :-
    Enhance >
    Adjust Colour > 
    Replace Colour
    Not knowing how it worked, I tried the context sensitive help in light blue. 'Learn More About'
    This would not load but gave me this response:-
    Access Denied
    You don't have permission to access "http://helpx.stage.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/adjusting-color-saturation-hue-vibra nce.html" on this server.

    This 'help' seems to work everywhere else [well at least in the places I have tried so far.]
    So why is this? has anyone else had this specific area of HELP fail?  I need to know is it just my system, is it accessing this HELP stuff over the net, or is it preloaded when you by the retail pack?
    Course it would be in an area I can not make work!
    Note Other areas of help in this general menu area work eg
    i.e. the options either side of this all work fine.
    Any views guidance welcome.
    Other than reload the product! LOL I just don't have a spare week to waste getting it all going again!

    Hi Nealeh
    Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
    Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
    Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
    Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
    The scenario is:-  say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
    Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
    So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
    Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
    She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
    Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
    If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
    Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
    "Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
    I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
    So technology is not my friend today!

  • Trouble with brushes in photoshop elements 7.0

    My photoshop elements 7.0 worked perfectly fine until about a week ago, when all of my brushes (plug-ins and defaults) started acting strange. The image below shows what it looks like.
    I'm working with only one layer here (the background), using the same hard "brush" from the defaults for both the erasor and the brush (the erasor is working normally and that's why i'm using it to compare with the brushstroke). There shouldn't be a difference between the stroke with the brush and the erasor, and there wouldn't have been a difference if i did this a week ago, but still, as you can see, something is not right here... It hasn't got anything to do with the layer opacity or the opacity of the brush/erasor, because they are all set to 100%. I did notice, however, that the first time this problem appeared, the space between the brushmarkings in the brushstroke was set to 25% in the brush settings. Now, everytime i restart the program, this brushsetting seem to be the new default setting for all of my brushes! I can't draw like i'm used to anymore because all of my brushes are so messed up. Does anyone know what's the problem with my photoshop brushes?

    Hi,
    Your brush flow isn't set to 100%.
    Select the brush as the tool then press and hold in the alt key (opt if on mac). While the alt (opt) key held in, press the 0 (zero) key. Your brush flow should now be set at 100% flow.
    Reason: Brush flow is available as an option in Photoshop. In Elements, the option is not shown on the options bar but the function is still present and can be called up using the shortcut keys...brush tool + alt (opt) + number key. This setting is sticky...whatever flow rate you set with the shortcut acts as default for all brushes and is considered a user preference for all sessions.
    Here's a video about the this undocumented shortcut:

  • Making prints with photoshop elements

    I have Photoshop Elements 7 & 11, each on a different computer.  When I go to make prints on my Epson 2400 from either program,  my prints come out substantially darker than they appears on the monitors.  What I doing wrong or... not doing ? BTW,  I do use ICC's and let photoshop handle the color management.  Any thoughts???
    Thanks,
    Amos

    Suggest that you calibrate your monitor. Most likely, it is too bright.

  • Ungrouping layers in Photoshop Elements 8

    So I'm going through my external HD looking for some old work in progress, and come across a couple of files that had been started on my old room mate's copy of Photoshop CS2. The layers are grouped into folders.
    On my current computer, I have Elements 8, which can't open those folders. But, I'm not on speaking terms with my old room mate anymore, so opening it on her copy of CS2 to fix it up isn't an option.
    Is there a way to ungroup layers in Elements 8? I found a "how to" on doing it for Elements 6, but alas, the steps didn't work on 8.
    Does anyone know how to do this on 8?

    You can use Elements+ from simplephotoshop.com (not free), or there's a script posted someplace in the forums at elementsvillage.com that will work with PSE 8 (but not with PSE 10), if you do a search there (look for layer sets).
