Using lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop elements 12

When I am using Lightroom 5.6 and want to Edit In Photoshop the picture transfers over to PS but it won't allow me to use layers.  How can I fix this?

Usually that means that lightroom sent over the photo in 16 bits/channel and you want 8 bits/channel in order to use layers in photoshop elements.
After you open the image from lightroom into photoshop elements you can go Image>Mode and click on 8 bits/channel
or in the Lightroom Preferences (Edit)>External Editing set the Bit Depth to 8 bits/component

    1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
    Turn off auto-update here:
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
    2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
    They point to where the apps really are which is:
    For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
    For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
    3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
    Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
    right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
    4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
    It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
    You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
    5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
    Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
    Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

  • Using iPhoto, Aperture 3 and Photoshop Elements 9 together...

    Hi everyone,
    I recently upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture. It does almost everything I need but there are some much more advanced editing tools in Photoshop Elements that I need occasionally and also I like to be able to quickly create attractive template based e-mails using iPhoto, so I need all three apps.
    Currently I have my photo library in Aperture 3 but it's really clunky to create attractive photo emails using iPhoto because I have to click 'Show Aperture Library', which is very difficult to navigate and is pretty much unusable. My next attempt is going to be to see whether I keep all my pictures in an iPhoto library and then browse and edit them in Aperture and Photoshop Elements.
    Has anyone got any tips on this topic?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi Ernie,
    Thanks for your post. I will try to explain in a little more detail what the problem I'm having is. If I want to create an iPhoto picture template e-mail, say a postcard, then I select File/Show Aperture Library. A browser window pops up. If I browse to 'Projects' then the previews of each project are huge - about 6 fit on a screen with the window maximised. I can't find a way of zooming out in order that I can browse the hundreds of projects in my Aperture library. Is there a way of doing this? Also, I can't seem to control the sort order. The options in View/Sort Order seem to sort the iPhoto album, not the Aperture library browser.
    If I select Photos from the navigation tree then I get previews of all my 13'000 pictures and about 100 fit on the screen. Again, I don't seem to be able to zoom in/out nor control the sort order.
    What surprised me this morning is that I finally deleted my old iPhoto library and then opened iPhoto to see how it would react. I selected whatever the default was (forgot already!) and now I see my iPhoto library as it was before I deleted it. However, I can't find the library in my Pictures folder. Could it be that iPhoto is reading it from the trash can??
    Finally - is there a way of adding pictures to my posts in this forum? Perhaps I could illustrate the views i'm getting in iPhoto's Aperture library browser.
    Yours,
    Jim

  • How to install Lightroom and Photoshop Elements from my old pc to my new pc?

    I have a new pc and want to install Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop Elements 12 from my old pc to the new one.

    For LR here is a useful link:
    http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/
    There is also a video tutorial which covers moving a LR catalog to a new computer:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-migrate-lr-to-an other-computer/
    For Elements you can simply install the application and then set up the Elements Editor for external editing in the LR Library prefs. I’m assuming you won’t be using Oranizer as well as LR. That can lead to confusion and broken links unless you are very disciplined.
    If you do intend to use Organizer the method is backup and restore, starting with an Organizer backup on the old PC.

  • Integration between Lightroom 4.2 and PS Elements 11.0

    I am using Lightroom 4.2 and PS Elements 11.0. Clicking "Edit in" in LR  when I have selected at least two photos, I get as bottom menu item "Open as layers in Photoshop...". When selecting this item PS Elem. nicely starts up but after waiting for a while no layers are created. Same applies to the HDR and Panorama options. The only LR menu item working is the one moving to the PS Elem editor sec. After carrying out editing of the file(s) in PS Elem and saving (as) there is only the option to include the edited file in the PS Elem catalog (while the version set option is "greyed out"). In the normal Photoshop (CS versions) the edited file is nicely included in the LR catalog. I now have to follow a cumbersome route by importing the file from within LR. Another issue is when 16 bit files are loaded into Elements; there is no warning that layers can only be generated/worked on  in 8 bit mode.
    Yet another, small LR issue, is that when in library mode moving from the center thumbnail grid/pane to the left Navigator, etc and right Histogram, etc. panes, the cursor changes into a double headed arrow passing the separation line and but does not turn back into the cursor (mode). Only moving fast through the separation line or "going over the top" passing along the top menu items helps
    Obviously anyone with some suggestion as how to solve/circumvent the issues above?

    Photoshop Elements does not support layes with 16-bit files. Additionally, there is no HDR function in Photoshop Elements. You should be getting an error letting you know this is the case when you try from Lightroom.
    These menu options are designed to be used with Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements and would normally be greyed out. Have you had a version of Photoshop install previously? When looking at the Edit In menu, what does it say at the top? Does it say "Open in Adobe Photoshop Elements..."?
    Saving the file should automatically import it into Lightroom, even if you use the option to add it to the Elements Organizer as well.
    As for the cursor not changing back to normal after crossing over the panel dividing line (which allows you to grow or shrink the panels) is rather curious.
    All of these issues could be caused by corrupt settings files. Deleting these while the applications are closed will cause them to be recreated at next launch (with default settings). I would suggest doing this will all Adobe preferences (not just PSE and LR). Where they are stored depends on what OS you are working on.

  • Lightroom 4.3 and Photoshop CS5 Crashing

    For several months, I have been trying to troubleshoot random blue-screen crashes when (and only when) using Lightroom 4.3 and Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 64-bit.  The Windows stop error code is always 124 (hardware related).  The crash dump files have not provided much help. They just keep referring to "ntoskrnl.exe" and "hal.dll" as possible causes, but that doesn't help isolate specific hardware.  Without going into all the excrutiating details of what I have done to try to find a hardware problem, I am now 99% sure that hardware is NOT causing the crashes.  I recently ran "Who Crashed, Professional Edition 4.01" to analyze the crash dump files.  It identified "cameraraw.dll" and "tliadjust50.dll" (a file installed byTopaz Labs plug-ins Adjust 4, DeNoise 5, and Fusion Express 2) as possible causes of the crashes.  I would like to refresh "cameraraw.dll" to determine if it is in fact causing the problem.  My question is how to replace my existing "cameraraw.dll" file with a new one.  Can I just download a new "cameraraw.dll" file (from where?) and replace my existing "cameraraw.dll"?  Or, do I have to reinstall LR4 and/or CS5 to refresh "cameraraw.dll"?  I really hope I don't have to do that, because I think I would probably have to also reinstall all the third-party plug-ins and extensions I have installed to work with  LR4 and CS5, and that would be a major pain.  Does anyone have any suggestions/

  • After changing my mac mini 2009 with a mac mini late 2012, and using Time machine for the reinstallation, Lightroom is operational but Photoshop elements is said to have a license no more valid (code error 150:30). I tried all solution I found to no avail

    After changing my computer from a mac mini 2009 to a late 2012 version, all reloaded with Time machine, Lightroom works fine but Photoshop elements refuses to start (error code 150:30; "license no more valid"...). No solution found on the internet works. Any advice ? possibility to reload the application (I have kept the number of license etc.) ? Thanks in advance to anyone who could help.

    Alain Picard this error often occurs due to incorrect file permissions or corruption of licensing data during the Time Machine restore.  What version of Photoshop Elements were you using?  I would recommend that you remove and reinstall it using the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.

  • New Mac: Why are CC and Photoshop Elements not working when Lightroom and Reader are fine

    Last week I changed computers (swapping an old Mac for a 13-in MacBook Pro Retina running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3. I copied all my data over to the new machine using Migration Assistant.
    All programs work fine (including my copy of Lightroom 3 and Reader XI). But my CC and Photoshop Elements 10 do not. I have tried uninstalling both, but whenever I try to reinstall PE10 from its disk or download it just stops almost at the end. I then I get an "initiation failed" message, along with a request to download the now defunct "Support Advisor" app!
    I cannot download Adobe Application Manager, or the CC desktop app either - for the former I get an "initiation failed" message, along with the "download Support Advisor" app" message again! For the latter I get a message saying "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." Then I get a message and a link to download Creative Cloud. Then when I've downloaded it and I click on the installer... it runs for a bit and then I get the message again: "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." And I get a prompt and link to download the CC app. Guess what happens next? And so it goes on. And on and on, in a tedious circle.
    This is incredibly annoying and frustrating as I have work to do! Anyone have any ideas what's happening?
    Cheers

  • Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 12 transfer/sharing problem'

    I'm new to Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12.   I open a Lightroom image in Photoshop Elements 12 by using Photo-->Edit In--> PSE12.  I make a change in PSE12, and then "save."  I understand that I'm supposed to overwrite the default file name.  But, when I go back to LR, my PSE changes are not saved.  What am I doing wrong?

    I noticed the same problem when I upgraded to elements 12 in december. Also using LR 5.3 on mac running 10.8.5. When using the save command in PSE usually the saved file was not visible in LR. I posted in the forum then without any positive responses. As I worked the problem myself  I noticed that when saving from PSE if I used the "save as" command instead of the "save" command and then answered in the affirmative to overwrite the existing file the edits would save back to LR without fail. I have been using this technique for the last 6 weeks or so and haven't had any edits fail to return to LR. I have no idea why this would fix the problem as all the instructional material says not to use the save as command. I suspect it is a bug in PSE12 but because it's "only" elements no one at adobe is paying any attention. Anyway, try that and see if it solves your problem. It worked for me although I can't explain why.

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.
    The Photoshop Elements forum is at:
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
    Remember, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.  You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
    I do not know where there is such a comparison table as you seek, but someone else might, or you can google.

  • Catalog sharing between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

    Can the catalog be shared between Lightroom 2 and Photoshop Elements 10?

    Lightroom and PSE cannot share catalogs (although the same image can be in both)
    PSE catalogs can be upgraded to Lightroom catalogs, but then changes made in Lightroom are not reflected in PSE. You cannot go the other way, Lightroom catalogs cannot be converted to PSE catalogs.
    Lastly, I strongly recommend that you use only a single "organizing" application. The idea of using two (or more) different "organizing" applications will lead to confusion and errors and lack of synchronization.

  • How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    Hi Palsaran,
    As i understood, your requirement is to POST data from UI to backend.
    The above code you given is not correct if you want to use model based implementation.
    In UI5 you don't need to do an explicit Ajax call, for which we can use Models like OData, JSON etc.
    For your JSON example, you can use like,
    var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
    var oData = "YOUR JSON DATA";
    oModel.setData(oData)
    oModel.loadData(yourURL/Entityset,"POST");
    For ref, you can use the below link
    JsDoc Report - SAP UI development Toolkit for HTML5 - API Reference - sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel
    Thanks
