Will Photoshop Elements 12 Allow me to Format a Page with a Photo in a certain spot on the page?

Hello, I am a new user and wondering if I bought the wrong software.  I bought Photoshop Elements 12.  I am trying to set up a page that is 8 1/2" by 11" with a 6" by 6" photo near the top with 1 1/4" blank/white page at the top, left, right and the rest of the page below the photo also blank/white.  I cannot figure out how to get the photo where I want on the page.  I am needing to get the page "print ready" to take to a print shop, and just cannot figure it out.  I was able to set it up exactly as I want in Open Office software in less than 5 minutes, having never used the Open Office Software before.  However, the printer says he cannot print from Open Office, wants it thru Photoshop.  He knows I have Elements.  Considering how intuitively I was able to do it in Open Office and how I have struggled with setting up the page in Elements 12 for several hours, I am wanting to see first if it is possible to use this program to do what I want and if so, will somebody please explain the steps to me!  Or tell me if I bought the wrong software and need to give up the struggle!  I really would appreciate any time and advice anyone is willing to provide.
Thanks...Questioning

Hello again.
I am quite new to the program myself but over the last few weeks editing one particular image I have found that this program will do practically anything I want.  I just persevere through each frustration and eventually figure it out.  I just wish it were easier to remember what I did to get the result...oh wait, there is a way for that too lol.
I believe you will find it best to have your image on its own layer.
As for the rulers,  check to see if it is turned on, I believe that choice would be under the tab at the top labeled VIEW?  Not in front of puter right now so not sure exactly.
Also, you might want to check your settings for many of this type of feature in the PREFERENCES area.
Please let us know your progress.  Good luck!

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

    See:

    I suppose you are using the organizer : you'll be able to recover your PSE5 catalogs either by a catalog conversion on the same computer or by the backup / restore process.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Microsoft 8.1 operating system?

    When selecting the option e-mail from the Elements Organizer to share a picture, the program stops with a note from Elements Organizer stating they could not finish creating the e-mail message. I never experienced this problem when it was operating in my older computer running on Windows XP.  Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Windows 8.1?

    Depends on what e-mail client you're using. I believe that for W8 you need to install the Windows 7 version of Windows Live Mail.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 10 work on 64-bit Windows XP?

    I am currently running 64-bit Windows XP on my desktop PC and am interested in upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop Elements.  I see in the system requirements for version 10 that it supports Windows XP Service Pack 3.  Since Microsoft never released a 64-bit build of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the last service pack available for 64-bit Windows XP being Service Pack 2), will Photoshop Elements 10 even install, let alone work, on 64-bit Windows XP?
    Please DO NOT suggest that I upgrade my PC to a later version of Windows.  I already have Windows 7 on my laptop, but I want to use Photoshop on my desktop PC.

    Matthew25187 it should work ok on Windows XP 64-bit.  The main issues for 64-bit are around drivers as long as your display driver has been functioning fine you should be ok.

  • Hello, Will Photoshop Elements 6 work with Windows 7?

    Will Photoshop Elements 6 work with Windows 7?
    Thankyou,
    Julie

    PSE6 would install and work on windows 7 fine. There might be some issues where application interacts with OS, so you can expect some issues in OS dialog boxes that are opened in application like import dialog box.

  • Will photoshop elements 12 have camera raw 8.6 support?

    will photoshop elements 12 have camera raw 8.6 support?

    Just a note abour the 8.5 update:
    This morning, opening my computer I got a warning message from 'Adobe application manager' informing me of the availability of that update. I agreed an the update started. It soon stopped with a dialog asking me to stop 'elementsautoanalyzer.exe'. I was sure it was not running in the background. After checking that, I simply clicked on the 'continue' button and the update ran normally. The new version is good in the editor and the organizer.
    So, if you get that message, don't panic...

  • Will photoshop elements work with Encore or do I have to have the full Photoshop

    hi there,
    I'm using Premier Pro and Encore Cs5.5. I do not create fancy menu's. At the most, I put a photo or two on a background of color and some text.
    My work is on my Mac.   I have photoshop elements on a windows PC in another room. I've been going between the two machines using photoshop elements on the PC to create the menu's and then sending them over to the mac for Encore use.  Obviously, this is not optimal and I expect the PC to die any day now. Therefore, I thought I would buy Photoshop ELements for my Mac.
    So, my question is "will photoshop elements" work ok on my Mac with Encore? Or, do I have to get the full blown Photoshop ? Advice?
    thanks everyone !

    For what you are doing, PSElements for Mac, should be fine.
    Unless it has changed recently, when working with Menus in PSE, was the inability to CREATE a Button Layer Set. You can edit them, just not create one. If you are just modifying the Library Menus, and Buttons, there should not be an issue
    Now, I believe that you will still not have the full functionality of Encore and PS, where you have the option to "Edit in Photoshop," right from Encore. What this does is create a TMP file, for the Menu, that is linked back to Encore, then launches PS, and Opens that linked TMP in PS, and when editing is done, one only has to Save in PS, and those changes follow the link back to update the Menu in En. You will have a slightly different workflow, where you would launch PSE, Open the Menu and edit it, then I would do a Save_As, so as to not overwrite the original, then in En, Delete that original, and Import the Save_As file as a Menu, and use that. It would be easiest to do all of the Menu editing in PSE first, then Import those as Menus into En, and just use them, as you would a Library Menu. Remember, you need to start off with a Menu, so that you have the Button Layer Sets, as you cannot create those. A bit different workflow, and not quite as convenient as Edit in Photoshop. As I do not have PSElements to test with, check me out that Encore will not link up to PSE and offer "Edit in Photoshop Elements," but it is my understanding that it will not. I just cannot verify. Also, check the latest version of PSE (you should be able to do this on the PC, while it runs) can now create the Buttons' Layer Sets. PSE 8 could not, and I do not believe that that function has been added to PSE 9.
    Good luck, and with those exceptions, PSE 9 for the Mac should be just fine. You might want to wait a month, or so, as PSE 10 and PrE 10 should be released around the end of Sept., or the beginning of Oct., if history holds true. Do not know what will be in PSE 10, but maybe Layer Set creation?

    Yes, PSE versions 6 through 12 work in 10.9, although PSE 11 is a bit buggy. All other versions are fine, including PSE 12.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 13 automatically download Raw photos?

    Will Photoshop Elements 13 automatically download raw files (photos) from card reader or do I have to use
    Capture One, Adobe DNG converter ?
    I am planning to buy the Sony mirrorless Alpha A 7 II
    I read - there can be problems with down loading raw files from the Sony A7II camera to Photoshop elements.
    Someone suggested if I upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 it will automatically download raw files just like it did with Jpegs.

    Hi,
    Could it be referred to as the Sony ILCE-A7M2 - that appears in the table and requires Camera Raw 8.7.1
    If that is the case, Photoshop Elements 13 (with updates) will import the raw files. When you plug in the card into the reader, it can be set up to launch the Elements downloader.
    You can download the trial version of Photoshop Elements from here
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    Once you have installed it, you need to go to the Help menu and select Updates to install the latest Camera Raw.

  • I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs

    I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs list. The program is installed but will not show in Open With programs.

    Hi,
    You don't say which operating system you are using so I'll assume Windows 7 for now - try this.
    1) select the file that you want to open
    2) right click on it and go to the Open With option but select Choose default program at the bottom of the list - the following should open
    3) At the bottom of the list, there is Other Programs, you may need to scroll down. If PSE not in the list, continue with the following.
    4) Use the Browse button to browse to the following (omit x86 if on 32bit system)
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    I'm assuming that you want to open the image in the editor.
    5) Uncheck the Always use... option, otherwise double clicking on the file would cause the editor to open by default.
    6) Click on OK
    PSE should now appear on your open with list.
    Good luck

  • Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!
