Photoshop Elements :: Effects Not Available For Some Users On Mac?
Oct 24, 2012
I have Photoshop Elements 9 for my iMac and some effects are available in some user logins but not in others. Why would this be and how do I fix it? Specifically, we want to put a frame border around the edges of a photo, but the choices of frames don't show up for one user, but they do for the other (who has computer administrator privileges). How can I get all the effects to show up for all users of the computer?
Just returned to PSE after a gap of several versions.I MacBook Pro, two users (both admins) and several cameras. I want one (and only one, at present) catalog that can be accessed by both users of the MacBook so that each user has access to all of the pix
I Installed Elements and added a few photo's to a folder in the root of the hdd, and tinkered a little. Discovered that the auto-created catalog was buried in the user/username path, not appropriate for multiple users, I thought.
So backed up catalog to external drive, then restored it to the folder that I'd previously added the photos to, viz HD/ALL PHOTOS/My Catalog. This works absolutely fine for me, as I set it up.
When the other user starts Elements and goes Catalog Managent and browse to Other Locations: HD/ALL PHOTOS/ and is able to select 'My Catalog' and Open. She then gets the message "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt or the version is out of date"
Both usaers have R&W permissions. Both users are definately pointing at HD/ALL PHOTOS/My Catalog.
I built op my catalog, creating events, tagging people etc. Now I would like my girlfriend to also use this catalog. (I can build up a new catalog but then I lose all the events, tags etc).
I put the pictures and catalog in a shared directory but I can't find a way to make Photoshop use my catalog when I go to my girls friend's account. How can I do this?
I have Mac OSX 10.7.5 The catalog exists on a shared LOCAL folder that other users have read-write access to The catalog works fine for the 1st user (no issues viewing, tagging, or updating photos & repairing it yields no issues)However when I try to open this catalog with any other user I receive an error that the catalog may be corrupt and therefore cannot be opened...
Any way to share their catalog with multiple users on a Mac?
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?
Is there a way I can install a zxp file for all users of a machine, rather than just the user who is currently logged on? I think they only install for the currently logged on user, but most users dont have admin rights on the PCs so they can't install stuff anyway.
know the logic behind the fact that PS7 users can't upgrade to CS4? I can't believe that Adobe doesn't have the IT knowledge to enable CS4 to be backwards compatible. One person suggested that I upgrade to CS2 or CS3 and then upgrade again to CS4. That will, of course, save me some money, but why on earth should I have to do that - it's still expensive?
I am contemplating getting a pen and tablet. As I am merely learning at this point, I can't see paying a great deal for a tablet just yet. I have been seeing alot on the Wacom tablets as they seem to be the most prominant. However, I would like to have one that has a decent sized work area and the Wacom is around $300 for a roughly 6x8.
I just installed PSE9 from the box and it has no effects in the bar and I read some posts about databases in /applicationsupport/adobe but all I have in that adobe folder is presets. How do I get my effects?
My daughter has an account on my MBP and needs to use Photoshop for her Photography class. This wasn't an issue with Photoshop CS6.
However, with Photoshop CC, it is asking her to purchase a Photoshop CC subscription. Is there any way she can just use Photoshop CC from her account on my laptop?
We're a college and we're having trouble with Photoshop CS6 opening for 4 [at the moment] individual users. The error follows them from mac to mac, but another ue can log on after them and everything works fine, so it must somehow be linked to their profiles, but we've reset/deleted these and it's made no difference. I've attached screenshots of the 4 error messages they get. because at the moment these students cannot do their work properly?
I installed an action in my PSE 10 It did not work and kept layer styles and photo effects from showing up. I deleted the action--still not showing up so I reset my computer to a time prior to the installation--still no styles or effects.
I have been using Elements 10 Editor for over a year now and have not run across this problem before. Nothing weird has happened with the program, it starts up just fine. I've never had it crash on me before or anything, but for some reason I can't view any of the effects in the right panel. They seem to be missing. I have reset the panels, checked to make sure everything is set to veiw and I even ran updates. But nothing has fixed the issue. I've used the program very recently and all the effects were viewable before, its just today that it seems this problem has occured.
I designed my contact form in Photoshop cs6, and i have some pretty text areas, where i want to make that users could type in it, when i put it on web. I know that i have to slice something up, but what next? How do i make a working text box in Photoshop cs6?
i use Photoshop on mac in English and Korean, and switch them all the time.
Even if I set the language to Korean, the application menu commands work, for example, Cmd+T. As for Tool menu commands, it only works in English setting. So, I have to switch the language setting first every moment.
After editing 100+ images in bridge I save the files as DNG for the magazines I work for, it's only just come to my attention that for them to alter the exposure/contrast they must convert the image to 5.5 which means losing the adjustments I've already made. It's time wasting for both of us.
I tried using the different options under 'compatibility' of saving for camera raw 2.4 and later (4.1, 4.6, 5.4, 6.6) not sure how to use the custom area. I'd consider using the previous version just on these jobs but I'm not even sure how to do that.
when i unload my camera into my catalog adobe photoshop on my user screen my wife is unable to view the pics. is there a way where i can share the pics among everyone?i should say that when she looks on them they have red 'x' on them and can't find the file but if you change to whose ever user screen i downloaded the pcs on they are fine pictures vista
I am using PSE 6 for mac over a network and under the local user the shadow effects show up under the Effects-> Layer Styles menu, but when I log in over the network those effects don't show up. How do I get those Shadow options to show?
I wonder what effects the .XMP files have on Photoshop applications. Should I keep them when working in the OS (WIN7) or chuck them? What effects would deleting XMP have?
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 have just upgraded from Elements 11 to version 12 and cannot get the new version to recognise Perfect Effects 4 as a plug-in. I have verified the path and even copied any relevant plugin files from the Elements 11 directory into the corresponding Elements 12 directories, but still no luck. This is running on Windows 8 64bit.
all of a sudden, the display in PSE11 is so big on my Mac that I can't see the right-hand screen components, including the layers or effects. I looked all through the preferences and can't figure out how to re-size the display back to the default. I can't even minimize the display enough to grab the corner and pull the window in a little. Is there any way to re-set the display to the default so I can see the layers and effects, without reinstalling the program?
