Why is Photoshop Elements 10 making my pics bigger when resizing to smaller dims

I am using the Process Multiple files function to resize pics, which I have done many times before.  However, when I try to resize my pics to 1000 x 750, Photoshop is blowing them up to approx 30,000 x 30,000. I've never sen this happen.  The organizer can't even open this size because it's too big.  Any ideas?  Do I have something on that should be off?  Please help.

Well I don't know why this is so but have selected the correct units of conversion as shown in this picture:
In particular, make sure that you have selected the pixels and nothing else.  There are drop-down arrows to select these. Also, if you set the height then you need to un-check the constraints box.
YOU CAN CLICK ON THE ABOVE IMAGE TO SEE IT BETTER.
Hope this helps.

  • Why is Photoshop 10 making pics bigger when resizing to smaller dims

    I'm resizing some photos that are approx 2000 x 2000.  I am bringing them into Photoshop Elements 10, editing photos, process multiple files, resizing to 1000 x 750 (72 dpi).
    Photoshop keeps resizing them to approx 30,000 x 30,000.  What is this?  The photoshop organizer can't even open this?  Any ideas on what is happening????
    This has never happened before and I've resized hundreds of pics.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, but this is exactly what I am doing.
    I'm starting with an image that is 4272x2848. I'm using 72dpi because I am
    using it in a video (premier elements 10). The other images that are being
    resized are approx this size, too.  Then, I am using Process Multiple Files
    to resize them to 1000x750.  Instead of having the green bar that starts
    the process of resizing normally, it has a green bar that says "Writing
    Jpeg Image" and then "Flatten Image", etc.  Then, I get an image that is
    30,000x30,000.  I have no idea why it's converting these picsto such huge
    files, especially when I am telling it to shrink them down.
    If I go into IMAGE then RESIZE, I can do each picture one by one without an
    issue.  Obviously, this isn't a problem if I only have a few pictures, but
    a project with 100 pictures would take a while to resize without PROCESS
    MULTIPLE FILES.
    Any other ideas on what might be happening?   I feel like there is
    something checked tat I don't know about.  Again, I've resized hundreds of
    pics for many projects and I have never had this happen.  Seems like
    something got turned on that should be off.......????

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open a file in a lower resolution than I saved it in?

    Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open files in a lower resolution than I saved them?

    The only meaningful figures for 'resolution' with a digital image are the pixel dimensions. They are not changed by saving.
    The ppi (pixel per inch) information is not a property of the image, just like the dimensions of your prints : it's your choice when you want do display or print your images. The detail level of your image is dependent on the pixel size.

  • Why is photoshop elements 11 so slow to load and shut down

    it takes me at least 4-5 minutes to open PSE 11 Organizer each time, and then probably 1-2 minutes to shut it down.  Has anyone experienced the same problem or does anyone have a resolution to this.  I'm on Windows 7.

    I had already shut off everything in media analysis, including face 
    recognition.

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

    Hi rens,
    Was it working fine before?
    Have you tried updating PSE12 to the latest update and checked?
    Standard troubleshooting steps :

    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    Try launching now and check.

    If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

  • Hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command+Z, It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

    hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command＋Z， It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

    what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke.  Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that.  Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what  I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
    which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

  • Why is Photoshop Elements 10 trial not installing?

    I went to the older software page, installed File 1 (Photoshop Elements 10), but I can't install File 2. An error message shows up, something along the lines of "all files must be stored in the same folder", etc. I am not a computer genius. I am getting very tired of Adobe's complicated procedures - I have spent well over 5 hours today struggling to find any shred of help on the site (my chat was never answered, either) and now that I finally find the installation files, I am let down once again.
    All i am trying to do is transfer Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 from my old laptop to my new one. I don't understand why installing a trial and entering a serial number is so difficult.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I downloaded them into the same folder, and once that was done, I did as you said and opened PhotoshopElements_10_LS15.exe. It asked for my serial number and everything, seemed as though it was installing, and asked to restart in order to complete the process. I restarted the computer, and...I don't see Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 anywhere. There is a folder on my desktop that goes by the name of Photoshop Elements 10, but it only contains data files and things that I can't use. It's not the actual software....
    What should I do?

  • Why wont Photoshop Elements 11 merge photos from Lightroom 4?

    I'm having problems with automatically merging photos in Photoshop Elements 11 from Lightroom 4. I do my editing in LR4 and when I wish to merge photos (either into a pnaorama or HDR image) all that happens is that PSE11 opens, nothing else. I go through the 'Edit in..' option and click on the desirep option. I can send individual images to edit in PSE11 bun not merge.
    I am running windows 8. I have set the external editing software to PSE11. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the software. But still I'm having no luck with the programs working together and doing what I ask of them.  Why is this?

    Yes you can open multiple images into PSE from LR. But actually there is no great advantage in using Lightroom for Photomerge as the export copies are already created in the Library but the saved copy will be the merged version which LR will know nothing about, and which would need to be imported to the library separately.
    I would personally start from Expert Mode in PSE11 and then use:
    File >> Open
    Navigate directly to the folder and select the images you want and click open.
    If they are raw files they will open up in camera raw and will already have the light room adjustments included, if the metadata has been saved to file in Lightroom.
    Click select all (top left) and then ensure the image depth is set to 8 bits using the drop down menu at the bottom of the dialog. Then click the open images button (bottom right) to send them all into PSE.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 - displaying donloaded pics

    Why do some pictures, copied to the pc, not show up in Photofun Studio 5/Photoshop Elements 8?

    Hey,
    Photoshop Elements Organizer doesn't automatically import media into its catalog (unless your are using Watch folders functionality). Media which you have on your PC, you need to import first in Organizer and then you can go ahead with Organizer.
    For automatically importing from one/more folders, please use Watch folders funtionality. You can access this from File->watch folders and then add the folders which you want to watch.
    Please let me know if you were referring to something else.

  • 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.
