Using Elements 9

I bought Photoshop Elements 9 because we were told in my class that I am taking that we needed elements to edit our photos.  I cannot figure out how to use it.  The book that I am using for school describes how to use elements 3.  I cannot make heads or tails of the program and it is very upsetting.  Can anyone help me to understand this program?

Have you worked through the on-line video tutorials?

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

    I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements onto my Mac Book Pro (10.9.4).  The installation to my hard drive went fine so I attempted to use Elements on an existing Photoshop file.  I did not see the Elements option in my filter menu and am uncertain as to how to "add" the Elemnts to my existing filter choices.  Please advise.

    I'm sorry but it's very hard to understand what you mean. What filter menu? In which program? Do you mean you're trying to use PSE as an external editor with some other asset management program? Which one?

    I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • How can I use Elements as Edit in using a Lightroom?

    How can I use Elements as Edit in in Lightroom using a Lightroom picture. I followed instructions: Photo/Add in/ and received in Elements a blanco screen instead of the picture selected in Lightroom. Please further instructions before ordering Elements 11.

    Dear Andaleeb,
    I have followed instructions as follows: In Lightroom I have installed Elements under extra plug inns. (on top of the screen reference is made  to Photoshop and not Photoshop 11). Under photo, cmd-e does not work since Photoshop is colored gray. As I have Elements installed under extra plug-inns this is highlighted. BUT………..Clicking that, the picture selected does NOT appear in Elements. The screen remains being empty! How can I solve this?

  • How can I move actions from old computer using Elements 6 to new computer using Elements 12?

    I downloaded some actions onto my old computer using Elements 6. I would like to move them to my new computer using Elements 12. How do I do that?

    Does she have any photos in the iPhoto library on her new machine?
    What version of iPhoto does she have?
    The general answer is to trash the iPhoto library on the new computer (assuming it is empty) and drag the old iPhoto library to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto letting it convert the library

  • How many computers can I use Elements 12 on?

    I purchased Photoshop Elements 12 in the box. I have Elements 8 on my computers. Should I uninstall Elements 8 or will the Elements 12 install take care of it? Also, how many computers can I install Elements 12 on?

    Ho Ktown,
    You can use Elements 12 along with Elements 8 and they can coexist. As per the EULA you can install the Software on 2 Machine but can use on 1 Machine at a time.

  • I've been using Elements 10 on my windows 7 machine editing RAW/NEF picture files taken with a Nikon D40X camera with no problems. I upgraded my camera to a Nikon DX7100 and can no longer load my RAW/NEF into elements 10. Is there a compatability problem

I upgraded my camera to a Nikon DX7100 and can no longer load my RAW/NEF into elements 10. Is there a compatability problem with my new camera? Will upgrading elements to a newqer version solve the problem?

    A senior citizen needs some help.
    Thanks

    Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you?  I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
    Or explain whether you want these in a webpage  in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code.  this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

  • Using elements 9 as external editor

      Hi, I bought elements 9 today. I have all my pictures organized in aperture 3. I want to use elements as an external editor. I selected elements as the external editor in aperture 3, but when I try to edit a picture using the external editor via aperture 3, the image will not load into elements.
    I get the welcome screen in elements, when I choose edit, the editor opens but no picture is loaded. I also tried to edit via elements used as external editor from aperture when I had elements open. What happens then is the exact same thing only difference is that elements opens again (so that I have to elements apps running at the same time)
    Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong.

    You chose the wrong file in the PSE folder. This is about iphoto, but the problem is the same with aperture, lightroom, or any other external editor. See step 2 for directions to the right file:

  • What is best for me. I have been using Elements for many years (since Elements 2) and now want to but either 13 or Lightroom. Can anyone help me decide

    I have been using Elements for many years (since elements 2) and now want to upgrade. I am reasonably old and at this stage do not understand Creative Cloud. Am I best to upgrade to Elements 13 or try Light room 5?

    Do you want to make a one time purchase (Photoshop Elements) or pay monthly rent ($9.99 per month for Photoshop and Lightroom)
    Do be aware that the subscription model is just like rent... stop paying and the programs stop working... but you get the full Photoshop

  • Using Elements 10 with iPhoto

    I have always used iPhoto 11  on my iMac for my photo editing and organising, but have decided to broaden my editing/organising opportunities by purchasing Elements 10, which I have just loaded successfully.
    However, when I right click a photo in iPhoto 11 and select 'Edit in external editor' - although it opens up the Elements 10 workspace, the selected photo doesn't appear.
    I've also tried changing in iPhoto's preferences (Advanced) to using Elements 10. Again, when editing is selected in iPhoto it opens up the Elements 10 workspace but not the photo.
    Any idea what's going wrong here? An alternative is to drag & drop from iPhoto to Elements 10 editing workspace - which DOES work, but I shouldn't have to do that, should I ?

    Thanks Barbara B, as usual very helpful.  From these screen shots can you tell if I have done this correctly as per your instructions ?  Is it best to store the jpegs only in the elements organizer? and keep the raw and XMP files on the hard drive or should they always be together?

    File >> Save As
    Then create a PSD copy.
    If you are using more than the healing brush e.g. adding text or using adjustment layers; your layers will be saved for future editing.
    PSD is also a lossless format. You can treat it as you master copy containg the combined adjustments made with the raw sliders and any further adjustments made in expert mode. You can use the master to make a jpeg at any time. Simply open and do File >> Save As again. Or select a few PSD thumbnails in the Organizer and use File >> Export As New.
