Why an Error Message "Valid size not available for this Creation" in Elements 10 Photo Collage

I have several image editing programs, but I bought Elements 10 specifically to do things the others wouldn't. I wish to make a photo collage but all I get when I try, after following the instructions in the "help" and "Elements 10 for Dummies" is an error message stating "Valid Size not available for this Creation." A meaningless phrase anyway because nowhere does it request a "valid size." Please will someone tell me the magiac words to make my lovely collage automaticaslly, or shall I revert to doing it manually on one of my other excellant image editing programs?

Photoshop elements 12 "valid size not available for this creation"

I see the message "valid size not available for this creation" when I am in organizer and I try and go to create a collage, photo book or any of those options. I have tried to see what other people have done by changing their location to usa/Canada but that didn't work for me. Can you help me resolve this? Thanks!

The error means that Elements is experiencing problems calling up the templates from the media database. You may need to close elements and then rename or delete the following system file and then re-launch the software and wait whilst the database is re-created. find:
Mediadatabase.db3

Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

Using PSE9 with a Mac. When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
"Valid Size Not Available For This Creation". (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working). I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix? Thanks.

I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
Good luck.

Valid Size not available for this Creation (Greeting card only) - Elements 10 for Mac

I purchased Adobe Photoshop/Premiere Elements 10 for my MAC and am getting "VALID SIZE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS CREATION" when I try to create a GREETING CARD only. All other options in CREATE work.
I have read other forums on here and have tried everything they have said and it still does not work. I have tried:
opt, cmd and shift to delete preferences
uninstalled and reinstalled
performed updates on both my MAC and the program
Can anyone PLEASE suggest other solutions to this problem? Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Thanks!

Hi - My file structure is somewhat different than the file structure that you describe in the first part of your note (My system is Windows XP with Service Pack 3). This is what my file structure looks like:
    C:/Program Files/Adobe/Elements 10 Organizer/locales/en_US
         >application_swfs
         >Plug-Ins
         >Suppport Files
No Creation Graphics folder, no Kodak Gallery Folder, no files with the name E9_preview_photocard_1(or2).jpg.
I perfromed a hard drive search on filename E9_preview_photocard* and found these files under:
     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us\CreationGraphics\local
I performed a hard drive search on Kodak Gallery and found the file under:
     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us\CreationGraphics\Kodak Gallery
This Kodak Gallery folder contains 10 files, 2 of which appear to be related to Greeting Cards. These are 5x7_adobe_folded_cards and 5x7_adobe_folded_cards_zoom
Regarding the 235x120 greeting files, I search and found these under
     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Photo Creations\photo layouts
NOW WHAT???
thanks

Photomerge error msg - valid size not available

When I select photomerge from the Organizer, I get consistantly get the message "valid size not available for this creation". Can't go any further. I thought that maybe my selected photos were too large, but even making them small doesn't help. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Barbara - yes I did. But I just solved the problem using a suggestion you
had made in an earlier thread: leave the editor, then restart editor holding
down the cntl-alt-shift keys until you get the message to clear the editor's
prefs. It worked. Thanks for your (earlier) help.

I cannot update iPhoto as I receive a message saying update not available for this Apple ID as either it was bought by a different user or was cancelled

I have inherited my daughters Macbook Air and am trying to update i photo. The message I receive is - update not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or item was refunded or cancelled.
I have tried her ID which was still unsuccessful.
I cannot access my photos at all. Can anyone help?

Hi Queenstown2014,
Sign onto her Apple/iTunes ID in the iTunes Store. Then click on the iTunes ID and then on Account in the dropdown. Once you have her account screen displaying, scroll to the bottom and click on RESET next to the line "Reset All Warnings for Buying and Downloading", then try again (with her iTunes ID still signed on).
Cheers,

Textbook download error message: "Document is not licensed for this device type"

Hi everyone,
I bought a textbook that came with a free digital edition. I downloaded it, then tried to load it into Digital Editions (which I registered to my account). The texbook almost finished importing, then at the very end gave me an error message that said "[The name of the book]: Document is not licensed for this device type." The textbook is published by Aspen Law. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.1 (Lion). Has anyone else had a similar issue or know of a resolution?
I've looked at other forum posts, and my situation seems remarkable like this one:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3098928#3098928
I called the publishing company and tried to explain this to them, but they just said it was a problem with Adobe and Mac.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

OK - here's the issue.
When I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions I authorized my computer with my Adobe Account - apparently I wasn't supposed to do that. McGraw-Hill said that their file would ONLY work if the computer was not authorized with an Adobe Account (they should have said so after the order).
So after de-authorizing the account (ctrl+shift+d) I tried to open up the .acsm file again and I got a new error: e_lic_already_fulfilled_by_another_user. I'm afraid that the license was used up by Adobe Account, never mind that it actually never downloaded.
I guess the next step is to try and get another license issued?

Collage - "Valid Size Not Avail..."

Photoshop Elements 9
I cannot create a Photo Collage as i'm getting the message when i click Photo Collage: "Valid size not availabe for this creation".
I thought it has something to do with my printer setting, but that doesn't seem to be the case?
Any help would be appreciated please. Thanks
ADDITION:
Every once and a while i will get a message after the above "Valid size...." message saying: "An interger between 3 and 0 is required. Closest value inserted". these numbers always change when this message shows.
I've already re-installed the program. this did not fix the problem.

Close Elements and then re-launch by right-clicking on the desktop icon and choosing “Run As Administrator”

macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
After making your backup try the following:
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
