Photoshop Elements :: Actions Have Disappeared From The Effects Pallet?
Jun 8, 2013
I'm working in PSE8. All the actions I've purchased (from Florabella, etc.) have disappeared from the Effect pallet on the right hand side of my screen. I've checked to make sure that they are all still installed
and they are all there (ATN, JPG, PTN and Safari document versions). Why can't I see them in Effects anymore? How can I use them in PSE? I didn't make any changes. I've tried resetting everything, restarting numerous times.
My Actions have disappeard from my effects pallet.
I woke my computer up and it was 'shutting down' so apparently it was installing stuff. When I opened PSE my effects pallet was back to 'default mode'. I went into the 'photo creations' in my computer and they are all still in there but just not showing up in the effects panel. I have deleted the thumb data, and the media data all to no avail. Restarted my computer several times... NOTHING.
In adobe pohotoshop elements 9 "effects" apple icons that change and alter photos with the drag and drop option have dissapeared. How do I make them re-appear?
I am using Photoshop CS5.1 on a Mac. When launching Photoshop from Lightroom, I got an unexpected error (don't recall now what it said). my custom workspace and all of my actions (default and user-defined) are gone. I utilize these actions heavily in my workflow and need them back ASAP. I have a good backup system, but when I click Load Actions from the Actions Palette, the default location
Actions folder is empty (and backup files of this folder are empty long before I had this problem). Interestingly, my
[UserName]>Library>Preferences>Adobe
Photoshop CS5.1 Settings file still has an Actions Palette.psp file in it. I have shut down and rebooted many times without success. What I can do to get these actions back? I'm hoping it’s a matter of pointing Photoshop back to my preferences some how. I don't have to recreate all of my custom actions from scratch.
My user made cs5.1 actions have disappeared after an error message came up as PS was opening. None of the factory or user actions are there, and they were unsaved. Are they retrievable?
How do I change the color pallet? I keep trying, but the foreground and background colors will only stick on B&W. I also need to know how to change an image to have a transparant background.
I just downloaded Photoshop Elements 12. I use 2 monitors for photo editing. How to detach the layers pallet from the photo in PE 12? Also, how do you separate the tabs into separate pallets -- navigator, histogram, etc?
How do you stack different photos in the editor layers pallet? I can get different photos in the editor, but I cannot figure out how to get different photos into the layers pallet at the same time.
I have PSE11 and purchased Paint the Moon effects. How can I view both the Layers panel and the Effects panel at the same time? Was this an option in older versions of PSE that are used in the Paint the Moon tutorials?
How do I recover albums that disappeared? I was in Elements, came back to Organize and thousands of hours of work were gone...no albums at all. Can they be recovered?
First, all of the photos in my albums and folders disappeared from Organizer leaving empty album and folder categories. The next day, the album and folder titles disappeared, leaving one big blank space. how I can retrieve all of my photos and why this would have occurred in the first place?
Using Photoshop Elements 10 organizer, all pictures are still present in the organizer, however all of the elements have disappeared? How I can recover the albums?
I have Elements 10 on a MacBook Pro with Mavericks OS. The "Organizer" menu bar which shows forward/back buttons, Search function, Organize, Fix, Create, Share functions etc. has suddenly disappeared. The program has been working fine for 3 years. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it but it did not fix the problem.
I've recently installed pse 10 on my new pc. I backed up everything from pse9 on my old pc, and all my photos were in the organizer. Yesterday I installed an item from digital scrapbook teacher, which I think, involved restoring my catalog? Now I have no photos in organizer.
my computer was running very slowly so I ran some diagnostic and "fixit" programs on it. After that, I am no longer able to see the photos that were in the albums I created - if I try to reimport them, it says they are already in the catalogue. All I see are white boxes!! I cannot see them in the photo bin of the editor either. I checked and all my photos are in their original folders where I off-loaded them from my camera. Obviously my fixit program broke the links. how I can get the photos back, or even just delete the albums and catalogue so that I can start again?
the really weird thing is that I can do a slideshow of the supposedly missing photos -- but they still don't show up as thumbnails in the albums!
I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac running Mountain Lion. When I opened PSE today and the organizer, I noticed that the Albums all had a "- sign" - sure enough, I looked in each album and they are all empty. I didn't actually notice it until I'd created a new album, dragged in some photos, looked at the photos in the editor and then went back to the organizer where I found that the album I had been working on was empty. The photos themselves all appear to be in the media of the organizer but just not in the albums an longer. or if not, how the heck do I just delete an album?
btw, all my "folders" still show up below the albums.
a PS.. since posting this, all the media has disappeared from my organizer (the albums part) previously if I clicked on the "all media" button, it would show me all my photos but they have now disappeared as well.
a new glitch -- now when I double click on an album - photos appear in it that don't belong there -- in fact in most albums, I'm getting the photos I just imported into my hard drive today and made into a new album!
I opened Photoshop Elements one day and all of my files are gone. I thought that maybe I had accidentally "archived" them somehow, but I can't find anything that I have ever edited in the Organizer. It's as if I just installed it yesterday. I even tried to search for files with the date range function and it says that there isn't anything from the date range I put in, which was over a year.
Did I tell the Organizer to do something that I am unaware of? Where did all of my pictures and video go?
Some of my thumbnails/files are missing from my catalog but it won't let me import them because it says they are there. They are not hidden and the links aren't broken. They don't show up at all in any view. The jpg files are still in the folder on my desktop just not in the catalog. When this happened before, I just deleted that catalog and started fresh but now I have too much work in this one to just delete it.
To eventually change the color and hue of a photo of a house, I spent an hour painstakingly selecting multiple portions of a photograph with the quick selection tool in full edit mode, saved it and closed the file. Now the selections are not showing up on the screen when I reopened the file and the duplicate layer I made them on. How can I get the previous selections to reappaear? Using PSE 9.
