When I take a photo and try to edit in Photoshop Elements 11 from Lightroom 4, it brings me to PSE 11 and opens the photo in there, but doesn't allow me to do anything - no layers, masks...anything.

I work on a PC - Windows Vista, and currently use Lightroom 4. When I try to choose the 'edit in' option and go to PSE11, it will go there and open the file, but it won't let me do anything with it.  All the buttons/masks...etc are faded out and when I scroll over them a circle with a line through it comes up. Is there any way to fix this so that when I edit-in from Lightroom to PSE11 that I can actually use it? And if not, how should I save my files then so I can re-open them in PSE11? Would they need to be JPEGs, or something else? I shoot in RAW.
Thanks in advance!

Hillsitter,
I use a Windows PC and PSE Version 8.
However, I set up the link to PSE by going to Edit > Preferences and
clicking on the External Editing Tab.
I then clicked on the 'Choose' box and browsed to > Program Files > Adobe >
Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I then clicked on the Elements Organiser 8.0.exe
file to create the Link to the Elements Organiser. I could have linked to
the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe file.
I know this will be somewhat different on a Mac but the principle should be
the same i.e. link directly to the .exe file.
I hope this helps.
Frank Clark

    I too am having the same issue only I am in Regina, Canada.  iCloud appears to think Regina, Canada is in the Central time zone which it is, but it does not use Daylight Savings time.  My PC is Windows 7 and I am using Outlook 2010.  I have iCloud on iPhone 5 and iPad 2.   Terribly frustrating!

  • Photoshop crashes when I use Edit in Photoshop CC 2014 from Lightroom 5.6

    I have Adobe Lightroom 5.6.  Whenever I try to Edit in Photoshop CC (2014) when Photoshop has not been started, Photoshop immediately crashes with a message of:
    Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 cannot be opened because of a problem.
    This happens regardless of what option I choose to Edit in:  1) Copy with Lightroom adjustments, 2) Copy, or 3) Original
    If Photoshop is already open, I don't have this problem.
    I am running Mac OS X Mavericks.  Everything is up to date.
    How can I correct this?

    That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver).  Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
    Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
    Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape.  Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

  • Why does the image not open in Elements when I opt for Edit in Photoshop Elements 11 from the Photos tab in Aperture?

    With an image in Aperture, when I got Photos one of the options offered is "Edit in Elements Photoshop 11", but although selecting this opens Elements, there is no image and it is necessary to open the image in the normal way from within Elements.  Other plugins, e.g. from Topaz work superbly from within Aperture.  I am puzzled to know the reason, and in particular if there is any setting in either Aperture of Elements that need to be attended to.  I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
    Barry Willcock

    Hi Frank, and many thanks.   I can now get the picture into Elements, and work on it.  However, when I have finished, I save it (giving it another name that I can recognise if the amendments are slight) it puts the file back into the same folder, but I have then to import it into the Aperture library in order to see it back in Aperture.  Not a big problem, but an interesting one.
    Again, many thanks

  • My iPod touch doesn't show the camera beside the unlock button and when I take a photo with my old camera screen, I can't see anything on my scree !

  • Firefox will install, and open the FIREFOX home page--------------but then is unable to download anything else-WHY

    Win7 on DELL XPS9000-----64bit. Successfully run IE, Safari and Chrome. Download Mozilla Firefox 17 (and other versions before 17)
    Firefox home page loads----------but nothing else loads! i.e., can not access other pages, such as nbcnews, etc.----Nothing.
    My laptop runs firefox nicely; I like firefox--------but I can't wait for the thing to never load.
    any suggestions will be appreciated.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • My iPhone 4s turns off after battery gets below 40% and sometimes when I take a photo,it shows the photo in the photo album but will display a white screen when i tap on the photo. Please help thank you :)

    My Iphone 4s is 2 years and 3 months old. the battery drains very quickly, sometimes turning off once it reaches 40% if I open an app or say the camera.
    I charge it more than twice a day now as the battery life is so poor.
    Also, when I take a photo, the phot sometimes shows in the album, but if I click on it, it shows up as a white screen and I cannot send the photo either as the recipient gets a blank screen.
    I am not super flash with technology, so please be nice!
    Thank you

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll?

    When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll? This seems pointless to have the same pictures twice. My Photo Stream pictures upload to my PC, so why should I have the same photos in Camera Roll?
    Am I supposed to delete pictures in camera roll after they go into My Photo Stream? Why can't I just take a picture and it go to photo stream on its own? My camera roll AND My Photo Stream go back to March 11, 2014

    You're misinformed and have asked several questions that I'll try to tackle.
    No it doesn't double the memory. The Photo Stream image is simply a pointer to what you have in your camera roll.
    If you delete pictures from your camera roll, leaving them only in Photo Stream, you will lose those images forever if you don't then pull them out of Photo Stream on another connected device. Photo Stream is meant to be TEMPORARY cloud storage for your images. Read about it here: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    You should ALWAYS offload your images if you want to keep them. See how to do that here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • After updating my software to iOS 6 when I take a photo in an app on my iPhone such as Instagram and camwow when the photos go my camera roll they are black..why?

    After updating my software to iOS 6 when I take a photo in an app on my iPhone such as Instagram and camwow when the photos go my camera roll they are black..why?

    I upgraded an iPhone 4 from IOS 4 to IOS 6 and had similar problems here is what I did.
    Problem:
    Using the Camera App from the initial screen (a view finder for me) there is an icon on the lower left side with my last photo taken.  When I select this icon the image is displayed and on the upper left side of the screen the Camera Roll button appears.
    I select the Camera Roll button and all my images show up as black on a white background.  I can select a black square and my image will apear.
    Using the Instagram App when I try to select from my Camera Roll I see the same black boxes, and Instagram is not saving photos to my Camera Roll.
    Fixing Instagram not saving problem: 
    Go to Settings:Privacy:Photos
    Move the Instagram slider to ON
    Back to the images not showing in the Camera Roll.
    Someone suggested doing a reset (hold down sleep and home button for 10 seconds).  After doing the reset the problem was worse.  From the Camera App selecting the last photo icon from the view finder screen and the Camera Roll screen apears but says there are no saved images.
    Fixing the Camera Roll not showing correctly problem:
    Set Settings:General:Restrictions to ON (You will be prompted to create a password)
    Select Settings:General:Restrictions ON>
    Toggle the Camera slider to ON if it isnt already
    This worked for me. Your milage may vary.  Good luck.
