Working in Elements Editor

After I select a photo from the organizer (elements 12) that I wish to edit - then open the editor - the photo is not there - how do I get it to load into the editor space?

Sorry, I'm confused. Your first post says it's about PSE 11.
For older versions, hold down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Elements Editor 7 stopped working...Help...(possibly visual runtime c++)

I have Windows Vista 64 bit with 4.00 GB RAM (If that matters) and Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. It had worked perfectly fine since I bought it in March of 2009 until about 3 weeks ago (Only the Editor stopped working - the Organizer still works fine). It was working fine one day, and then the next day, I tried to load the Editor and I got this message: "Adobe Photoshop Elements (Editor) has stopped working....A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." (Of course, no notifications of any solutions have magically appeared from the solution fairy.) I can't think of anything that changed on my system between the two days. As far as I know, I don't have any viruses. There may have been a Windows update, but I really don't know since all of that is automatic. I had been working on creating a card for which I had been using some clip art that I had downloaded, but I don't see how that could be a problem...
Anyway, I started searching for a solution and couldn't find anything definitive. Over the course of a few days, as I kept trying to load the Editor in the hopes that I had been visited by the magical solution fairy and all was fixed, I got another message a couple of times. I don't have the exact message because it only appeared a couple of times and then it went back to that generic message. The new message was something having to do with a Microsoft visual runtime c++ error. I did find a solution that mentioned that error, but it had to do with uninstalling the visual runtime c++ program and reinstalling it. Let me just say right here that I am not all that computer savvy. I can follow directions as well as the next guy, and any success I have ever had in fixing my own computer problems came because I am stubborn and I don't like to leave problems unresolved. However, I do NOT like to delete programs. The thought of deleting and changing things on my computer gives me nightmares. ( I almost bought a Mac because I was told that I wouldn't have to fix things as much and fiddle with programming and such.) Anyway, so I haven't tried to uninstall the runtime c++ thingy because I don't know what it is.
So, my next step was to contact Adobe. Boy wasn't that a disappointment!! $30 for phone support??!! When I can barely understand the person I'm speaking with?! No thank you!! I am very disappointed in Adobe customer service right now. I could even understand maybe $10, but I am not a wealthy person and I have to be mindful of every dollar I spend. When I could buy PSE 8 for $50 (with rebates) on Amazon right now, why would I spend $30 for support and not even be sure that they could fix the problem....
Anyway, so here I am. I am asking for help. Yes, they directed me to the troubleshooting page which has 25 solutions (+ #26 which is paying the $30 for support). I tried a couple of things, but frankly, I am right back to the issue of being terrified about changing or deleting anything on my system. Plus, that solution list looks like it would take forever! I don't have that kind of time. I live on a very busy large farm and I am a homeschooling mom to three young children. I don't have time to be fooling around with a program that should be working just fine. Why can't these things be more simple??
So, what should I do? Is there a solution? Or do I have to do the troubleshooting 25-step program? (Just sign me up for AA, too. I'm sure I'll need it after all this.) If that is the only thing I can try (other than the $30 support), should I just buy PSE 8? I wonder if I would have the same problem with it. I was led to believe that support for PSE 8 would be free (since it is a newer version). Is that just an assumption on my part?
So, any solutions or ideas?? (By the way, I wouldn't mind trying some of those 25 steps if someone could just tell me that they weren't going to totally mess up my system.)
Thanks!

"Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"...message

I am very very very new to this...and have had so much trouble I'm ready to ask for a refund! After installing and watching tutorials and not being able to load any pictures to the 'organizer'...(my autoplay does not show the "Organize and Edit Photos" or show the Photo Downloader...I finally called Customer Service. He told me I needed to uninstal and reinstall. Ok..I've done that. But it's still not on Autoplay. At least he showed me where the file menu is on the 'organizer', so I could get some pictures in there. But when I click on 'Edit Photos', I get the pop-up message, "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"....It never HAS worked....This thing just came out of the box today and has too many problems for a newby like me. What is the problem? Actually, there are the two problems. HELP!

On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works. Let me know if you have any comments.
Thanks

PSE12 editor stopped working - sas elements 12 editor not working - how can i get editor to work - which has been working fine for a year nowÉ

Thanks for the quick response ...
I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

Error message - photoshop elements editor has stopped working

Hi - I've installed photoshop elements 8 twice, and I still get the error message "photoshop elements editor has stopped working" . I can't seem to get beyond this point. My system is Windows Vista. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I suddenly started getting the same error message and was reaching my wits end in trying to find a solution.
This may sound bizarre, and you may not have the same situation as I found, but check your system/Windows date setting.
Somehow, the year on my system had become 2096. I corrected it, and bingo! PSE 8 Editor works again.

My adobe premiere elements editor doesn't work

I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements as a package. My Photoshop works fine, but my premiere isn't working. The organizer allows me to import photos and videos, but it won't allow me to do any edits. I have windows 8.1 with my PC. Any ideas as to what i can do to let the editor for premiere work?
Thanks

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
How far do you get into Premiere Elements 13....Can you Sign In and see the Welcome Screen and/or one of the workspaces?
a. Do you import source media into the Premiere Elements Editor, and the program freezes and crashes when you try to do that
(if so, what are the properties of your source media?)
or
b. Is it that you cannot import any file into the Premiere Elements Editor- you cannot get beyond Video and New Project in the Welcome Screen
or
c. Is it that you can import source media into the Premiere Elements Editor, you start to edit the source media on the Timeline, then the program freezes or crashes
(if this is the case, what are you doing in the Timeline when this happens?)
Above I have taken for granted that you are importing into the Premiere Elements Editor with one of the Add Media choices like Files and Folders. Are you instead importing into Elements Organizer 13 and trying to switch from there to the Premiere Elements workspace for video editing?
For whatever is happening, are there any error messages associated with the event? Have you checked the Computer/Manage/Event Viewer/Windows Logs and its Applications for error or warning messages?
Bottom line, please supply more details so that we can plan troubleshooting strategy for your issue.
Thank you.

Vista 64-bit issues "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"

I recently purchased Elements 8 and to this point have been unable to use the editor function. I can "Organize" without complaint but when I attempt to edit a photo I get a message telling me that "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working." I have attempted to uninstall and re-install and the result has been the same. While researching online I see that there are a number of people that have this issue but have been unable to find any real solution. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

It's very likely that your issues are unrelated to the fact that you're running on 64-bit Vista as opposed to 32-bit Vista.

I cannot open Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor. I am working on a Mac. I get this message: "Could not complete your request because of program error". If I am in Organizor, that message will have a black box below it that says "Loading the Adobe Photoshop

I was using the program yesterday. I am just learning the program. I learned to download pictures by opening I-Photo and directing the edit process to Elements Editor. Then I stored the pictures in a album in Organizer. This morning when I turned the program on, I received the message above.

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.
-JOHN

Photoshop Element Editor 12 does not start

Few days ago I installed Photoshop Elements 12. It worked fine, however today I decided to re-roll my system to the version prior to PSE installation. After reinstalling PSE12 I couldn't launch Editor - Organiser works fine.
Editor doesn't start if I try to opent it directly from .exe file, from Organiser or from Welcome screen. In Task Manager Photoshop Elements Editor program appears for a few seconds, later PDapp.exe appears and nothing happens.
I tried to reinstall the program removing all folders (also from "AppData" folder) but it hasn't helped.
Any idea how to solve the problem?

I decided to restore system because of some strange short (1-3s.) hang-ups.They started after installing last windows update.
I am using Win 7. I tried normal normal uninstaller.
Finally, I deleted some folders in CommonFiles/Adobe connected with PSE12 and with licence manager and then after reinstalling PSE I need to sign in to my Adobe account and everything works fine now.

Photoshop elements editor does not open

I had photoshop elements 12 for windows working fine on windows 7 professional 64 bit . Then recently attempted to install the12.1 upgrade which failed with the usual lack of any useful information.
I removed elements, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, ran the update successfully, rebooted and now, as has been since the upgrade attempt, the editor won't start. If I right click a photo in the organizer and pick edit, I get a message "Loading the Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace..." for a couple of minutes, the message disappears, and no editor appears.
How do I diagnose and fix?

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

Lightroom open in elements editor raw question.

I have just got lightroom 3.3 and it imports my .dng raw files no problem. if I use the save metadata to file and try to open in elements editor it open the file as a .tiff. instead of opening it as a raw file with ACR. I think the roblem is the metadata is not being stored in the same directory as the image file but I can't see where to check/change this. I assume that is what is causing this to happen.

Alistair

Thank you for your reply, the question arises from watching this pod cast. I cannot get what is shown to work, please can you [if you have the time] look at it and let me know?

Elements Editor 13 opens only once

I resently upgraded from PSE 11 to PSE 13. Organizer 13 works fine. Editor 13 can be opened one time and works also fine.
After closing of the Editor the program still stay in the process list of the task manager and cannot be opened again.
Please advise.

I have the same problem with a new Photoshop Elements 13 Installation. But when I start Photoshop Elements 13 as an Administrator (Win7) the program and the process will be closed.
