Vintage crop available in Photoshop Elements?

I'm looking for a way to produce a soft oval crop of the kind often seen in original old sepia photographs - commonly in portraits.  Is there a function in PS Elements which will allow me to achieve this effect?  (or any other software package out there which will do this!).
many thanks
Ianfife

Is this what you want to do?
Set the Background color chip (bottom of toolbar) to default white.
Use the Elliptical Marquee tool to draw out the oval:
Feather the oval. In this example I feathered 40px but the value you you will depend on your picture's dimensions.
Invert the selection and delete the selection:

  • Will camera raw 8.7.1 update via plugin be available to Photoshop Elements 12 or at least Photoshop Elements 13?

    Hello
    Will the recent camera raw 8.7.1 update via plugin be available to Photoshop Elements 12 or at least Photoshop Elements 13? (Mac)
    I understand it likely won't for PSE 12, however what about PSE 13? The official "Adobe Website" info for PSE 13 only refers to Camera Raw module V.8.6. Can someone advise please?
    Would customer support email a link to the plugin module for Camera Raw 8.7.1 for a manual download/installation? The official 8.7.1 DNG/CR Download packages available via Adobe.com are only complete packages and won't update the embedded PSE plug-in mentioned above.
    Many thanks for your support
    Jonny

    As far as photoshop elements is concerned, the added camera support for the sony A7II in camera raw 8.7.1 is probably the only thing on this page that affects pse.
    (the camera raw version in photoshop elements doesn't have any user setting for camera lens profiles or applying chromatic aberration)
    Camera Raw 8.7.1 is now available
    Photoshop elements should have camera raw 8.7 available using Help>Updates from within the photoshop elements 13 editor.
    (very unlikely that pse 12 will ever get the camera raw 8.7.1 update or any camera raw updates past camera raw 8.5)
    Do you need camera raw support for that camera in photoshop elements 13?
    If you do, i would post at these two places and see if you get any response from an adobe employee.

    Hi gpabel,
    No. At this time TB is not available for Photoshop Elements, however I believe Tutorial Player will work with Photoshop Elements. You can learn more about Tutorial Player and try it out here.

  • Undo cropping done via Photoshop elements

    I dragged a photo directly from iPhoto into Photoshop Elements (rather than saving it to the desktop first, then dragging to Elements) and cropped it, then clicked "save." Now when I go into iPhoto, I can see the full, uncropped image in the thumbnail, but when I double-click to enlarge it, I can see only my edited image from Photoshop. I tried to control/click on the image to "restore to original," but that option was not available to me. I no longer have the image in my camera. Is there a solution?

    No, because that's not how you use iPhoto and Elements together.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

  • Are these functions of the normal Photoshop also available in Photoshop Elements 12?

    Hi,
    maybe I wanna buy Photoshop Elements 12, but before that I'd like to know, if some important functions ans tools of the normal expensive Photoshop, are also available in Elements:
    - Content-aware filling
    - Refine edge tool (after Crop)
    - Liquify Tool
    Thanks a lot!

    Photoshop elements 12 has
    Content Aware Fill
    only after one does a panorama
    (fill edges)
    Does not have content aware fill like photoshop does from the fill dialog
    Refine Edge
    Pretty much the same as in photoshop
    Liquify
    Has a Liquify filter, but not as many features as photoshop's liquify does
    You can get a subscription to photoshop cc for 9.99 a month

  • Crop image in Photoshop Elements 9

    how do i crop a photo to these dimensions 1500 X 1500 -could someone please help?
    It's Version Photoshop Elements 9 - (I don't know if they are asking me to crop 1500 mm or Pixels) could you help with both ?

    Dear sir or madam, when i went to (Image) on the tool bar and clicked "resize" then under the values blocks to be filled in, i typed the 1500 dimensions for both Height and Width in Pixels 
    - The Width automaitcailly changed it to 1640 ? whle the Height remaind the same and it shows at the top, overall Pixel dimensions 7.04M (i assume this is overall) ?
    - The other way is to go direclty to the Edit / Create / Share columes off to the right hand side and under that is "QUICK" - there i am able to crop ...but when i type in 1500 on the upper value blocks it does not accept it ?
    These are the only two wasy this version is allowing me to do anything... and i still don't know if any of it is right ?
    The photos i have (that need to be exaclty 1500 x 1500 or 1200 x 1200 or 1700 x 1700) are at these dimensions currently:
    1) Pixel Dimensions 11.8 M  with a Width of 2125 Pixels
    and Height of 1944 Pixels
    2) Pixel Dimensions 13.5M with a Width of 2358 Pixels
    and a Height of 1996 Pixels
    OR if i chage each of them to Percents i can type in 1500 for Width but, it changes to closest value of 1272.26 Percent is what it reverts too
    Sorry, coudl you help further ?

  • Cropping layer in Photoshop Elements

    Hey~
    I have just started using Photoshop Elements.I have three different pictures i their each individual layerss. I would like to crop one and when i use the crop tool it crops all the layers together. I have done my research and i tried using the Marquee Rectangular tool to select what I want. But, after I Inverse, I cant do Edit Clear( as suggested else where) becasue it "won't work". I also cannot do cntrl J to select that in a new layer. It just wont let me.
    If this doesn't make sense, feel free to ask questions.
    I appriciate any kind of help:-)
    Thank you!

    Here's a couple of non-destructive methods to crop a layer.
    With the layer selected, make your selection with the marquee. Right-click the selection and select Layer via Copy. Hide the original layer.
    With the layer selected, make your selection with the marquee, click Add Layer Mask. I like this one as (if you unlink the mask) you can then reposition the mask in the layer image.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • Fonts available in Photoshop Elements 11 Slide Show

    I am new to Photoshop Elements 11.  I am trying to create a slide show using "create" then "slide show" from the Media Section of the Organizer.  I have inserted some blank slides into the sequence and would like to use them as title pages.  I can only seem to find about 16 choices of font to write with.  I have used Photoshop Elements 3 for years and there must have been at least 100 or so choices of font to write with.  What am I missing here?

    PSE will use all the fonts you have on your system.  Are you sure you have your fonts in the correct location on your computer.  On my system I have 100s of fonts 98% I don't even know or use them:

  • Is the CMYK color mode available in Photoshop Elements 12?

    In taking a photography course I was introduced to color printing modes in Photoshop CS6 which includes CMYK as one of the modes.  I am currently using Photoshop Elements 11 which is limited to the RGB color mode.  Does Elements 12 offer CMYK?

    No, this is one of the areas where Adobe is determined to keep a difference between PSE and full Photoshop. No version of PSE has CMYK support and it's unlikely to come in a future version, either, I'm afraid.

  • Are Instant Tags Available in Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer?

    This was a handy feature in previous versions, but I cannot find it in the '12' version. Am I missing something? Is there an alternative way to generate a tag from a folder name? Thanks

    teddypierce a écrit:
    Thanks for your response. Instant album is not quite the same thing as the instant tag previously available. Has the latter functionality actually been taken away?
    I agree, it's slightly different. I think it has been  superseded by the 'instant albums' for good reasons. After all, while people think that albums and tags are very different (location of panels...), there are really two differences :
    - albums have a sort order
    - albums are stored only in the database, while tags can also be written to the files metadata.
    The first reason is in favour of instant albums
    The second one can be a real problem for instant tags when you write metadata to files : the instant tags are rarely meaningful and can be very long.
    So it depends on your particular workflow. With the available search options in the organizer : by text search, by details, by import batch, it does not really matter if you create instant albums or tags. It's so quick to select what you want and assign either a new meaniningful tag or create a new album (generally temporary).

  • What features from previous versions are not available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

    What features from previous versions are not available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?
    A handful of features from previous versions are not available in Photoshop Elements 12 due to new product support for 64-bit systems.
    Below, we list the features and the easy alternatives available to you in version 12:
    The Magic Extractor ToolAlternative: Use the Quick select tool together with the Refine Edge tool to quickly select and extract anything from your photos.
    Texture Fill
    Alternative: Use the Edit > Fill Layer option and select the "Pattern" option for Contents. You would have to pre load the pattern file with the texture you want.
    Here is a tutorial on how to create a pattern file: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/creating-custom-pattern-in-photoshop/
    Frame from video (imports a frame from video in PremiereElements)Alternative: Use the freeze-frame feature in Premiere Elements to capture a frame in video and save it as a photo
    Interactive layout mode in Photomerge PanoramaAlternative: None
    Photoshop ShowcaseAlternative: Try Adobe Revel. Elements 12 will let you view and share your Elements photos and videos across smartphones, tablets, and the web, via Adobe Revel.
    Enhance>Adjust Color>Color VariationsAlternative: None specifically, but you can use Auto Smart Tone
    Filter>Render>Lighting EffectsAlternative: None

  • FAQ: Why is Photoshop Elements cheaper? What's different about Photoshop?

    What is Photoshop CS/CC (PSCS/PSCC)?
    Photoshop is a professional tool used throughout many industries as the standard for digital image manipulation and painting. It has very rich, and often complex, tools and options. As such, it comes with a professional price tag.
    What is Photoshop Elements (PSE)?
    Photosohp Elements is a consumer product. It's made for users who don't need as many features and complex options. It has a simpler design, guided workflows, and an organizer to help you manage your files.
    What are the some of the specific differences?
    Here is a list of some of the major differences between Photoshop Elements and Photoshop:
    Adobe Camera Raw differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements
    Photoshop Elements comes with a database driven Digital Asset Management application called Elements Organizer. Photoshop comes with Bridge, a file navigation system that operates much like Windows Explorer or Macintosh Finder. While there are several functions that both Organizer and Bridge use, they are fundamentally different applications and serve different purposes.
    Photoshop Elements does not support the following color modes: Duotone, CMYK, Lab, Multichannel
    There is very little 16-bit support in Photshop Elements. You cannot create or convert an image to 16-bit, only open images that are already 16-bit. While working with a 16-bit image you cannot work with layers. The following tools do not work: Magic Wand, Selection Brush, the family of Type tools, Recompose, Cookie Cutter, Straighten, the brush based tools (Paint Brush, Eraser, Dodge, Blur, etc), or the shape based tools (Rectangle, Ellipse, Custom Shape, etc). Many filters do not work, mainly those featured in the Filter Gallery.
    Photoshop Elements does not fully support Smart Objects. While you can open files that already have Smart Object layers, you cannot create Smart Objects nor open the files embedded as Smart Objects.
    Photoshop Elements does not have a Channels panel. Nor does it have the Channel Mixer Adjustment/Enhancement.
    Photoshop Elements cannot merge multiple/bracketed photo exposures into an HDR image. There is no support for 32-bit images. However, Photoshop Elements does offer Photomerge Exposure as a similar function.
    Photoshop Elements does not use the same range of Content-Aware functions. While the Spot Healing Brush includes the Content-Aware option in both applications, Photoshop Elements does not have Conent-Aware as an option in the Edit > Fill Layer command (known simply as Edit > Fill in Photoshop). However, Photoshop Elements does use a Content-Aware Fill option when creating a Photomerge Panorama, this is not an option in Photoshop. Photoshop CS6 introduced the Content-Aware Extend and Move tools, which are not available in Photoshop Elements.
    Photoshop Elements has fewer vector based tools. The Pen family of tools are not available. The Shape tools do create a vector shape layer, but the vector points cannot be edited individually. There is no Paths panel.
    The licence from a boxed purchase of Photoshop Elements is multi-platform (as of version 9). This means you can install on either Windows or Macintosh or both without having to purchase a separate version. This was not true with Photoshop. However, with Creative Cloud we no longer sell boxed products and all licenses are multi-platform.
    Photoshop Elements does not have the Subtract or Divide blending modes that were introduced in Photoshop CS5.
    Photoshop and Photoshop Elements can both Transform selected pixels in the following ways: Scale, Rotate, Skew, Distort, and Perspective. Photoshop Elements does not have the Warp Transform option.
    The Photoshop Elements Color Picker does not include the following options available in Photoshop's Color Picker: the Not a web-safe color alert icon, the Add to Swatches and Color Libraries buttons, and the Lab and CMYK models.
    Photoshop Extended CS6 has the following panels that Photoshop Elements 11 does not: 3D*, Brush, Brush Presets, Channels, Character, Character Styles, Clone Source, Color, Layer Comps, Measurement Log*, Notes, Paragraph, Paragraph Styles, Paths, Properties, Styles, Timeline, and Tool Presets.
    Photoshop Elements does not support Extensions such as Mini Bridge and Kuler.
    *In some release versions of Photoshop, there Standard and Extended variants. Marked features are only available in Photoshop Extended, where applicable.
    [EDITORS NOTE: This is a work in progress, this list is not yet comprehensive]

    I found 3 crashes under your name.  2 of them are uncommon, but occur in the ExtensisFontManagement plugin and appear to be due to a bug in the plugin.  The first is a crash on quit, and the second is Extensis attempting to override Alerts for some odd reason, and their override fails.
    The third crash cause happens more frequently, cause unknown, but it looks very, very similar to the Extensis Alert override bug.
    So, try disabling the ExtensisFontManagement plugin, and I suspect your Photoshop CS4 experience will be a lot happier.
