What level of Photoshop (Elements, Lightroom, CS6) would I need

We have 8" x 10" radiochromic film (like conventional x-ray film, except that it self develops without chemical solutions) that has a reflective backing built in (doubles the path length through the sensitive emulsion).
I want to do a reflective scan (very easy with VueScan) and then do two things to the resulting TIFF file:
1. Use a histogram to adjust the black and white levels to optimize contrast for the image.
2. Change the greyscale range to a color range using a linear transformation (i.e., 0 = black, goes to red; 255= white, goes to blue) for easier viewing .
What level of Photoshop (Elements, Lightroom, CS6) would I need to do this?
Thank you

For simple file manipulation Photoshop Elements would be enough and in your case the best.

Photoshop Elements & Lightroom Set-Up

Hi!
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere Elements 11, Lightroom 4, an external hard drive, and a MacBook Pro, but I'm not sure where to start.
1. I'm particularly wondering if I should download the software onto my computer, and put my photos onto the external hard drive (I thought it would be best to put my photos on the external hard drive, as to save my computer's memory, but am not sure if the software will be able to access the photos there)? What is the best set-up?
2. If the software on the computer can "find" the photos on the external hard drive, will the photos essentailly be saved onto my computer when I edit them with the software? If so, wouldn't this slow down my computer (or is there a way around this)?
3. Do these programs (e.g. Photoshop, Elements, Lightroom) work together? If so, how do I set them up to do this and use them this way?
4. How do I transfer the photos from my old computer to the external hard drive?
5. How do I transfer the photos from my phone to the external hard drive?
6. Do you have any other set-up or organization tips/resources?
Thanks a bunch!

I don't want to seem flippant, but that's exactly what I did - Actually I set up 2 presets here (one for Adobe RGB & one for sRGB).
As I stated previously, I set these up on 2 different computers (a MacPro and a MacBook Pro), each computer running a different version of OS-X (Lion & Mavericks, respectively).
I have successfully set up several external editors using various stand-alone programs - they all still work -- with the exception of Photoshop Elements 12.

Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting - levels like Photoshop Elements?

Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting -> levels like Photoshop Elements?

There isn't a "remove color cast" command per se but there are Levels and Curves adjustments so you can effectively remove/diminish colors yourself.

What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

Microsoft advises that all versions of PSE except versions 1, 3, 5 & 6 will work with Windows 8. The best option is a new computer with W8 and then do a clean install of Elements. Some difficulties may arise if upgrading the operating system on top of existing software. In those circumstances make sure you have your original disks or your download package, in case a re-install is necessary.
Microsoft Windows 8 compatibility.

What version of Photoshop Elements came with the Epson V500 scanner?

What version of Photoshop Elements came with the Epson V500 scanner?
Will Photoshop Elements 13 work with the Epson V500 on Windows XP and Windows 8?

Hi,
I don't have a V500 but the data sheet for it says that it came with PSE 5 for Windows - unless they released a newer package.
PSE 13 will NOT run on Windows XP - you need Windows 7 or 8.1
PSE 13 doesn't support the Twain interface on 64bit systems and so is unlikely to support the V500.
The last release that might work for you is PSE 12 but keep in mind that there will not be any more updates for that version.
Your best bet is to download the trial version and test it on your system. If it works you might still be able to find PSE 12 for sale in some of the stores.

I sold a copy of Adobe Photoshop Element 9.0 and I need to deactivate registration

I sold a copy of Adobe Photoshop Element 9.0 and I need to deactivate the online registration that’s on 2 computer. How do I do this?

You need to do it in Full Edit from the menu:
Help >> Deactivate
Or you can normally deactivate permanently during un-installing.

Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and Nik Software Lightroom Edition experience working together?

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and number of plugins, like Topaz Labs ones. I have also just acquired Lightroom. I do want to get CS5 eventually but that is not in the near future.
I am thinking of getting Nik Software's Complete Collection. It does not support Elements 10, but it does support Lightroom. So solution seems easy, just use it in Lightroom. That solution could also result in $200 saving as edition that includes support for Photoshop and Lightroom is right now $399 while one that supports just Lightroom (and Aperture but that is not of relevance to me as I am a Windows user) is $199.
However, I do not want to lose benefits of other plugins I have so going with solely Lightroom edition means increased going back and forth between Photoshop and Lightroom.
So question for those experienced with 3 of these together: Do you foresee issues with getting edition that just supports Lightroom? What things I might feel are missing / might frustrate me with this approach?

I’ve not used Nik Software but have used Lightroom and PSE together and the two programs integrate well. If Elements was already installed Lightroom should automatically recognize it as your external editor otherwise you need to set up external handling in Lightroom preferences.
I assume any changes made in Lightroom with a Nik plug in will register as part of the Lightroom Develop settings. Is that how it should work?
My usual routine is to highlight an image in the Lightroom Library and then
1) Press Ctrl+E to edit in photoshop - choose PSD with Lightroom settings
2) Image opens automatically in PSE Editor
3) Do further editing in PSE and press Ctrl+S to save an overwrite the Lightroom export copy. Click OK
4) Press Ctrl+W to close the saved PSD file which automatically updates the Lightroom thumbnail.
It all works quite seamlessly. Use the PSD copy in light room to export a jpeg or any other format of your choosing.

FAQ: What OS does Photoshop Elements run on, or Will PSE run on my computer?

There are many different combinations of Photoshop Elements (PSE) and the Operating Systems (OS) it is supported on. Here is a table to help identify which versions of PSE are supported on which versions of Windows and Macintosh. By "supported", we mean that the application is designed and thoroughly tested to work on. Just because a platform is "unsupported" does not necessarily mean that it will not work. What it does mean is that you operate the application on that platform at your own risk. In most cases, a version of PSE is "unsupported" on a specific platform simply because it was released before that version of the OS.
The minimum system requirements (including supported platforms) for the current version of Photoshop Elements can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/photoshop-elements/tech-specs.html
The minimum system requirements for all previous versions of Photoshop Elements can be found here:

For Premiere Elements System Requirements for versions 13 to 8 and the older versions, please see the Adobe Document
System requirements | Adobe Premiere Elements
Regarding what versions will or will not work on certain operating systems...I would question even your Photoshop Elements FAQ reference.
What Adobe has not tested is not the same the impression that the program does not work on a certain operating system it has designated as " - ".
I have not seen a Premiere Elements document comparable to this FAQ document that you present for Photoshop Elements.
I have found no problem installing and running Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, 10, 11, 12/12.1, 13/13.1 on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit or Windows 8.1 64 bit.
The version updates, if available, should be used to give special obvious features as well as other less obvious ones.
In the case of the current version, Premiere Elements 13/13.1, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and OSX 10.7 are not supported. Interestingly, I have found that you can
download the Premiere Elements 13 tryout from Adobe to a Windows XP computer, but you cannot install it.
Also, on a comparative basis, Premiere Elements version 32 versus 64 bit application
Windows
Premiere Elements 10, 11, 12, and 13 are 64 bit applications only when they are specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Premiere Elements earlier then 10 are 32 bit applications whether they are run on Windows 32 bit computer or Windows 64 bit computer.
Mac
Premiere Elements 9 was the first version to be offered for Mac as well as Windows.
Premiere Elements Mac was not available as a 64 bit application until version 11 - and with Mac 64 processor.
Miscellaneous
Premiere Elements as a 32 bit application will block you from importing still images beyond a certain total pixel count.
Lots of other details, but let us start with these.
Please let us know if you need clarification on any of the above.

I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and would like to transfer it to a new computer. However, I can't find my Serial Number.

I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and have it installed in an old computer. I would like to transfer it to a new computer. However, I can't find my Serial Number.

If you downloaded it from Adobe or registered it with Adobe, you should be able to go to your account and get the serial number.

I have photoshop elements 13 and would like to run portrait pro 12 standard hw do i do this on a windows 8 laptop

hello i have phtoshop elements 13 and would like to add portrait pro 12 as a plugin i am running a windows 8 laptop with correct spec please help asap

I don't believe the standard edition includes a photoshop or photoshop elements plugin

How can I tell what version of PhotoShop Elements my serial number corresponds to?

I need to reinstall Photoshop Elements Mac. I went to my Adobe Account and it lists Photoshop Elements and the its serial number, but it doesn't specify which version it corresponds to.

Twoputt I believe that error is resolvable. I would recommend posting a new discussion in the Photoshop Elements forum at Photoshop Elements. You may want to try searching the forum first as the error sounds familiar and I believe there is already existing discussions on how to resolve the error.

I have windows Vista and my wife has windows7; What number of photoshop elements should we buy?

Photoshop elements/Lightroom differences

Can Lightroom do everything Photoshop elements does -- but more conveniently and easily, without as steep a learning curve?

THanks for that, Ian
