Unable to Group Layers in Elements 6

I am trying to make a polaroid collage/montage as illustrated here: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/polaroids/ . I get to step 13 where it says to group the top 3 layers (Layer 1, Layer 3, and Layer 5)...nothing happens. I've tried ctrl + G and going to layer, then group with previous...but group with previous is greyed out...please help! I'm a novice to Elements, but this seems pretty straight forward. I've searched everywhere on the net and cannot find a solution. I am hopeful that I will find a solution here! Thanks.

Feature for Grouping Layers is not available with PSE, but you can still proceed with your steps by doing the following:
Select all of your top 3 layers and then drag them to 'create new layer' icon. This will create a copy of the selected layers.Now continue with the Step 15 mentioned in your tutorial.
The only difference with PSE will be that your 3 layers will not be bundled as a group. Whenever you need to duplicate a group, just select all the layers (mentioned in your tutorial under the group) and duplicate them.
Hope this helps you proceed with your work.

Can I group layers in Elements 10?

Can someone tell me if its possible to group a number of layers in Elements 10?

It is possible to use clipping layers e.g. to apply an adjustment to just the layer below but it's only possible to use named layer groups in Photoshop CC.

Can't open a group of layers in Elements 13

I am trying to open a group of layers in Elements 13 but get the following error message: "you are attempting to open a group which is not supported in photoshop elements" Then it prompts to simplify all the layers into one layer. This is useless!!! How do I get around this? It is a simple enough feature and would think Photoshop Elements could handle it. Yes, I have the full software version, not the trial version.

The file is the following: Corporate Business Card | GraphicRiver
Do I have to purchase a creative cloud membership now? I already spent $150 on Elements. And that was money thrown away.
Which membership would I have to get if that is the case?

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:

Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?

Question about: "How to Use Layers in Elements 2.0"

I have gone over the tutorial "Harness the Power of Layers" and I can not figure out how to open the example the tutorial is showing me. It says: Open the "start.psd" file in the Tutorials folder located inside the Adobe Photoshop Elements Application folder and a wooden doll appears and instructs you how to add the accessories.(hat, bag, shadow, etc.)
Where do I find or open "start.psd" and the doll with the accessories? Also, is there online instructions that show or animate the steps involved in "layers" using Elements 2.0, which I'd pay for. Thank you, Robert

Chris, I know this is simple, but I'm having a mental block :-(
Are you saying go to "My Computer" where I find "C:Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Element 2/Tutorials ? I can open Adobe Photoshop Elements. I just can't find "start.psd" in the tutorials link... Can you explain it another way ? Thanks
oh, sorry, yes I'm running Windows XP, 1.5 RAM

Unable to find associated SLD element

Hello,
We are currently setting up our PI 7.1 evaluation system. When we assign a business system (ECC6.0) from the SLD in the Integration Builder and tick "Create communication channels automatically" we receive the following error message:
Could not create communication channel: Unable to find associated SLD element for specified class (source element: SAP_BusinessSystem, [CreationClassName, SAP_BusinessSystem, string, Name, test, string], target element class: SAP_HTTPServicePort)
In the IB the following communication channels are however created successfully:
- GeneratedReceiverChannel_HTTP
- GeneratedReceiverChannel_RFC
- GeneratedReceiverChannel_IDoc
- GeneratedReceiverChannel_XI
- GeneratedReceiverChannel_WS_Local
- GeneratedSenderChannel_WS
Any idea what this error message means and how to correct it?

Thanks for the reponses.
Abhishek,
I've been through the forum posts and they all refer to issues with the Adapter Framework or Integration Directory. I have worked through them though and none of the resolutions help with my issue.
Divya,
Regarding note 1117249; yes I saw this can be an issue from previous posts on SDN so have confirmed the PI components are all present in the SLD, as shown below, and registered against the same domain:
- Adapter Engine on (SID)
- Domain (host)
- Integration Directory on (SID)
- Integration Repository on (SID)
- Integration Server on (host)
- RWB on (SID).(host)
Regarding note 764176; I have checked the RWB and all expected components are present and green (except web service security, which is amber):
- Integration Server
-- Integration Engine (SID)
-- Business Process Engine (SID)
-- Mapping Runtime (SID)
-- Adapter Engine (SID)
Ran the Cache Connectivity Test from RWB and it reported everything green.
Also in CIM instances under XI Integration Server the following associations are present:
- XI Contained Integration Server - associated with XI Domain 'Domain (host)'
- XI Integration Server Logical Identity - associated with Business System 'INTEGRATION_SERVER_(SID)'
- XI Sub-System viewed Application System - associated with BC System '(SID) on (host)'
In Technical Landscape under Technical System Type PI the 'Application System' column is populated with '(SID) on (host)' for all entries except for the entry of type XI Domain.
NB. I have deliberate obscured host and SID with (host) and (SID) respectively.
The above entries all look correct to me and J2EE was restarted very recently so have not removed the entries as described in note 764176...
Perhaps I could try to create the communication channel manually? Any idea which one uses the "SAP_HTTPServicePort" class?

Unable to attach formula with Element

Hi All,
I have written a formula with type Oracle Payroll that is 10% based on Basic pay and return a value in a variable,after writing I am unable to associate it with element , If I take the type element input validation it appears in the input value screen in the element window but when I take type Oracle payroll it does not appear ,kindly share your experiences
Regards,

Hi,
A Oracle Payroll type Fast Formula can be attached to an Element using "Formula Results" window.
Navigation : Total Compensation > Basic > Formula Results
1. Select the Element to which you want to attach this Formula and click Find.
2. In Processing Rules block, Select Name as "Standard" and then attach your formula in the "Formula" field.
3. In Formula Results block, Select Name as the Return Variable you are returing in the Formula and then select "direct result" as Type.
4. Select the input value of your element to which you want to pass this value.
5. If you want to pass this value to another element. Then select "Indirect result" as Type, select that element and then select the input value of that element to
which this variable value needs to be passed.
6. To pass a value using Indirect result, the destination element should be non-recurring and with lesses priority (higher number).
Hope this helps you.
- Sri.

Real time transaction response - unable to locate the root element

Hi There
Has anyone integrated webMethods with Data Services 3.2 for real time transactions?
We are trying to create a real time dataflow, initiated by webMethods. We are sending the request to the Access Server which runs our
real time dataflow and does process the request. However, our return response is null. No data in the response back to webMethods. We have
tested this in soapUI, and our transaction does work. We get the correct response back.
So my question is has any experienced this issue with webMethods? Any suggestions or ideas?
Here is the error
===========================================
Path name:

ps- xmlspy does not work as well
Please let me know
Thanks

The problem was the generated test SOAP message from Netbeans. When built, the interface had more levels than described below. I've also had similar issues caused by bad namespaces - either not defined properly or not picking up the default namespace.

Where is the auto blend layers in elements 13

where is the auto blend layers in elements 13? why don't i have a tool bar on the elements page?

That function doesn't exist in Elements, only Photoshop; however, some people have written plug-ins that will allow it so if you're seeing a tutorial maybe that's the situation.
Elements 13 does have several layer blending functions, so will any of those work for what you want to do?
Here is a thread where someone talks about using an recorded PS action in PSE 12 and they include a .zip file in post #14. I don't know if it'll still work in PSE13 or not:

Unable to link layers in Photoshop CS

I have Photoshop CS. In the box showing the layers I've made, there is no longer a small checking box to the left of each enabling me to link a layer with others. If I hold the cursor over the looped "link" symbol at the bottom, an "unavailable" symbol appears. Does anyone know how I get the link boxes back please? Thanks David5119

Thank you. I didn't know I could select more than one layer by holding down the Ctrl key and that, when I do that, the link symbol appears. Don't know at what point the link check boxes disappeared as they were certainly there originally; maybe when I reinstalled Photoshop for some reason. But a big thank you - your advice worked.

Hi,
It sounds like you have an photoshop version cs2 or newer.
To link layers in photoshop cs2 and newer versions, the layers you want to link need to be selected first in the layers panel and then press the link icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

PSE 8 - Help with Editing Group Layers

I am working with some templates right now that are apparently set up in Grouped layers. I've looked into it, and the best result I can find is that I hav eto "simplify" the group in order to be able to edit the layers. That doesn't seem to allow me to edit the layers individually, though.
If layers are "grouped," does that mean I can't edit the layers? Please Help!
Thank you!

Here is an action someone made just for that.
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48026&highlight=layer+groups
This action opens the layer groups by deleting the layer group (set) while leaving
the layers inside.
So the layers will no longer be in layer groups (sets), but at least you will be able to see
what's inside the layer groups and edit those layers.
