Using Photoshop Elements with my iMac

I am not sure anyone here can help me or if I'm in the right category, but I couldn't find a category that seemed to fit my question. If you can redirect me I'd appreciate it.
I have recently installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0.1 onto my iMac. I want to be able to go further with my photo editing than iphoto can take me. It took me some time, but I finally figured out how to get my iphoto pics to open with photoshop. Now my problem is that I can not seem to get any of the editing to apply to a picture. I have been trying to apply the anti-alias to pictures to eliminate the harsh picture edges. I'm wanting to print these pics on quilt squares and don't want a box within a box. Using standard editing I have been able to select the area around the center picture for anti-aliasing. That shows up as a marque. But I can not then get anti-aliasing to apply so I can see how that affects my pics. If anyone here has any experience with photoshop elements I would really appreciate some tips.
Again, if anyone knows a better forum for my question, I would appreciate being redirected to that forum.
Thanks Im Advance For Any Help.
Kaye

Thanks to everyone for your input. I have gone to the photoshop forums as well. I thought I might have better luck using the Mac forum because, I wasn't sure I would find anyone on the photoshop forum using a mac. I did get some pointers there but they have not worked either.
I know that I can only use certain tools to anti alias and have done that. I can check the box for anti alias, but nothing happens.
I think I may have to just use what I have and stop trying to edit them. The time constraints I am under are too narrow.
Thanks Again For All Help,
Kaye Kalman

    I am learning to use Photoshop Elements with my recently downloaded Elements 13.  I am disappointed that there is no longer a golden section grid option.  Does anyone know if there is a way I can get this?  Is there an upgrade to a more advanced photoshop or a plug in that has it as an option?

  • Using photoshop elements with aperture

    I recently purchased and installed Aperture 1.5. I have yet to import my photos. I plan on keeping my photos on an external drive. The drive is shared with a windows laptop. I have about 5k of photos. Most of the time, the edits I make will only be colour correction and cropping, so Aperture will be the software of choice. For some photos I need to manipulate backgrounds, or cut out shapes, etc and drop them into other photos. I don't believe Aperture will do this.
    So I'm wondering how to handle the photos I need to use Photoshop Elements 4.0 (Windows). Can I make the background changes, cut outs, etc. in Photoshop, save the changed image on the external harddrive and then import the reference to this image into Aperture?

    It seem to me that you have two separate issues to deal with.
    First, using PSE4 as editor. The whole power of Aperture is in its digital asset manager. In other words, if you edit files in PSE4, then it will need to be imported into Aperture (referenced or otherwise). While it can be stacked, it will be a separate file, whereas if a version is created within Ap, then it is not a separate master file. Nothing wrong with it as long as you know that, and are willing to live with multiple masters of the same image.
    Second, sharing an external drive-based image with XP laptop. Clearly you will need to make your Ap library a referenced master library. This also means that you will have to back up the file separately from using Vault (Vault will backup your referenced previews and versions but not your master files). Do you have this connected and working now? If not, pay attention to the external disk format for compatibility issue. I have MBP and Dell desktop that shares an external drive.
    All that said, did you consider creating a logical directory/folder structure on your external HDD and use the Organizer that comes with PSE/XP? It is a quite nice program and will allow for PSE editing in an integrated manner. Not sure what you are gaining by using Ap, other than stacking feature.

  • How can I use photoshop elements with photos

    Title says it all.  I would like to use Photoshop Elements to edit my photos--how do I open them in PSE? 

    Yes your edits will be there if you import the edited version. Yes it will go to the Cloud with the edits. What you read is that edits made in iPhoto and Aperture after the library has been migrated will not be available in Photos. But you could still export from iPhoto/Aperture to the Finder and then import to Photos, like with PSE.

  • How do you overcome problems using Photoshop Elements with Win 7 and Eyefinity display?

    I have a 3 screen Eyefinity setup on a PC running 64bit Win 7 with 16gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 7950 graphics card and Phenom II x4 processor.
    I struggle to get a stable PSE10 to work on this setup.
    I bought a combined set of Photoshop and Premier Elements 10 and although installed it always crashed when I saved images with the error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working". I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 and decided I had to solve the Photoshop problem.
    I installed Premier 64 bit version from disk 2 and Photoshop Elements from disk 1 and then ran compatability checker. Under compatability settings for Win XP srv pack 3 it starts although with some toolbar errors and top and bottom of screen transparent instead of solid. I can save files worked on but then still get the error when I exit Photoshop Elements.
    Has anyone had similar and solved the problem? Tech Support said my s/w was too old and unsupported without a service contract.

    There should be no need for compatibility mode; pse10 is designed to run on W7. Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor. You can then launch the program directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icon and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

  • How do I mode folders to a new location. I'm using Photoshop Elements 13 on iMac.

    How do I mode folders, containing the photo files, to a new location, in my case a NAS?

    Well, in theory you would use the folders panel in the organizer to move folders, but PSE/mac doesn't do anything but removable drives. It usually won't acknowledge regular network drives, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons.

    First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help!  I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine.  I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance).  Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest!  I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you.  Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?  Louise A Fraser

    First of all, use PSE9 on your old computer to make a full backup of your catalog and image files.  Put this backup in a safe location, such as an external HDD, and don't mess with it.  If something goes wrong, you'll need to restore your catalog from this backup to get back to where you started from.  Let's call this backup "PSE9 Backup Golden".
    Now the question becomes "Can PSE10 restore from a version 9 backup?".  I don't know, so you have 3 options:
    1.  The "I feel lucky" option.
    Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD.  (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
    Install PSE10 on your new computer.
    Use the PSE10 Organizer to restore that "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer, answering "Yes" to any prompt about converting the catalog to the new version.
    2.
    Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD. (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
    Install PSE9 on your new computer.
    Install PSE10 on you new computer.
    Use PSE9 on your new computer to restore "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer.
    Open the restored PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
    3.
    Install PSE10 on your old computer.
    Open the PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
    Use PSE10 to backup the converted catalog to an external HDD.
    Install PSE10 on your new computer.

    I have tested the first solution without any problem with different PSE6 catalogs, one of which with 32 000 pictures.

    How do I move my 36K [114 GB] of pictures in Photoshop 8 from my PC to my iMAC where I will be using Photoshop Elements 8

    I have tried to backup the pictures several times to an external drive several times.  Somehow some of the pictures are saved as XML files sd opposed to jpegs.  given the numbner of images, it takes about 4 hours to complete the process.  I have used a 2 TB Western Digital Drive.  I think I shall have to purchase a new drive and format it as you suggested.  I do not want to overwrite other data stored on that drive.  Thanks for the assitance.
