Photoshop Elements :: How To Pre-determine Preferred Crop Size In PSE11
Nov 1, 2013
I have just upgraded from Elements 6 to Elements 11.
All my scanned 35mm images & digitals from my DSLR are cropped to my prefeered 3000x2000 with a res of 300 I can find it in the 'quick' section, but not in the 'expert' In the 'expert' section I found the clone tool I use a lot in E6, but its not in the 'quick' section To make this all happen I often need to correct the horizontal in my old 35mm images; i cannot find this either.
I need to crop image width from e.g. 1234px to 1230px. I select Crop from the menu, then enter 1230px for the width. PE then shows a marquee that is bigger than the image! I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't tell what.
I'm running it on WIndows 8.0 x64, which has some other problems, so maybe I should just upgrade to 12?
I have more of a geometry question, rather than CAD question. I need to determine the size of a spar hole for an airplane wing. The wing will be cut out of foam with a hot wire. There is a round spar hole in the wing that runs from the root to the tip on each wing half. A carbon fiber rod goes through it. Seems easy, but the wing is swept back 35 degrees, so round hole will actually be an ellipse is when it exits the root and tip. The hole needs to be 5mm. The ellipse will be 5mm tall, but how do I figure out how wide?
I am a labtech at a community college and look after 48 mac pros in which the students use the entire creative suite. (I only mention this becuase any answers need to consider variations in system settings or photoshop settings. college students get into everything!)
But the issue is when you select the crop tool and enter a custom constraint and crop
The image size is sometimes a full 2 inches off of what you set as a crop?! I havn't run into this before
[I do know you can use the drop down box and use {size and resolution} but I want to know why it doesnt work under custom and unconstrained]
once i was reading an adobe pdf "How to get better performance in photoshop cs5" - that was in 2009 or 2010, and may be outdated, but there was a calculation method to determine the size of a scratch disc. (similar calculation see below, if i can remember right)
i am asking myself, how can i determine the correct size of an external SSD-scratch disc, only used by photoshop (completely empty):should i buy a 128GB or 256GB or 512GB SSD which is only reserved for photoshop?
basic question 1 : i guess i should avoid to set the internal SSD as photoshop scratch disc, as it slows down everything?
basic question 2 : in sense of maximum performance: better buy an external USB3.0 or thunderbolt SSD? will photoshop really use the extra thunderbolt speed when swapping data?
secondary question:
can i calculate the size regarding my daily working habits?
i am mainly working like this:
- with my imac 27" late 2013 with 32GB RAM and 256 GB internal pci-e SSD (800 MB/sec), which will stay always half empty for performance reasons. - OSX 10.8 mountain lion and 10.9 mavericks soon - photoshop cs5, cs6 and cc (always without extended) - 8bit and 16bit mode - only RGB - with latest phocus/Hasselblad and canon RAW Files which produce a basic .psb document at ... - 10.000 x 7000 px at 300dpi
[code]....
i wonder how to calculate ?
for example:
10.000 x 7000 px at 300dpi needs for one image layer at 16bit: 2GB RAM in photoshop cs6 or cc (just as a number), this may be wrong so lets take 2GB RAM and multiply with 10 image layers in my .psb file (16bit) = 20 GB RAM, and multiply with 20 adjustment layers (guess they need less ram, for one lets say 500MB) = 20GB + 10GB = this 16bit .psb layer file would need 30GB RAM, so when i have 32GB in my imac, i set cs6 or cc to 70% ram usage, it misses at least round 8-10GB RAM > can i guess that photoshop would swap these 8GB onto my scratch disc? or do i miss something important in my thinking?
is there any tool in inventor that can determine size of louver or quantity of louver base on heat generated?
we are designing a sheet metal box. we need to find out how many louvers we need.

How to display the annotations properly. Perhaps this may just be a display or view setting but I beleive I have checked them all at least 3 times =).
Even in the video he explains all the things explained here but does not explain exactly how to make the dims and ext lines notate and display properly, in model or paper view (view port). I have tried many ways to create a view port in paper space and annotation several dimensions. I constantly get different text sizes and ext line scaled differently within the same view port.....even after I have locked it.
I am also confused about notating dims in the model space within the paper space view port vs on the paper space outside of the model space view port? Perhaps this has something to do with my issues?
Again it may be because I don't understand another function/setting impacting this well enough yet?? I have tried/used every variable in the Dimension Style Manager on the Lines, Text and Fit tabs to no avail.
I cannot delete anything out of PSE11 on my MAC. I get "error deleting media". I tried re-installing PSE. The re-install doesn't ask what you want to do with the current contents like the earlier versions did so I virtually just got a copy of what I already had and still can't delete. My question: How can I wipe PSE off of my computer and reinstall it from scratch? I have backed up everything to external HD?
Since I upgraded to PSE11, I am unable to scan from my HP Laserjet 1312. I am running Windows Vista 32bit. Before now I have used the Twain interface.If I push the "scan" button on the printer, it says "waiting for PC".If I use the WIA import option, PSE asks which pictures I want to COPY.I copied the Import Export directory from Optional Plugins to Plugins, and selected it in PSE preferences, but the option for Twain does not come up when I select Import.
I'd like to draw a box around some selected text (a textRange), however I can't figure out how to detemine the size or position of the text. The overall size of a textFrame is possible to find (not sure about position), but when you've got just a few characters selected I don't see any way to get the size or position.
I purchased PSE 11 and do not have the plug-in Camera Raw. I have tried the solutions suggested in the main Adobe support page without success. A friend bought a copy at the same time and she has the plug-in. I have even followed to upgrade to 7.3 but it has still not appeared in my Help>Plug-ins dropdown, nor is it in the Open As file type dropdown?
I have a photograph with a person on it and would like to remove the background so I can cut the person out and place on a white background. I have tried the erasrue tool but when I get too close to the edge it is not differentiating between the person and the background - the colours are not hugely different. I have tried different ways of doing it with discontinuous option. on demos, it points to the sampling option but that doesn't seem to be available as an option. I have also tried using the selection tool but it is difficult/impossible for me to accurately capture the body of the person only as it traces elements of the door behind the person.
I can only view photo when 4 or less thumbnails are displayed at a time. When zoomed out to more than 4, photos disappear and hourglass symbol appears.
I had Elements 11 since it came out and it is only now that I decided to use it cause I was using Paint Shop Pro X5 Ultimate (which I am use to). Anyway, my question is where do i download frames to use for my graphics and also what directory/folder do i put it? Also can i use frames from PSP X5?
I installed Elements 11 on a Windows 7 system. When I go to FILE and select OPEN and then go to the folder where pictures are stored and then click on the folder nothing appears except the message "No items match your search". I have been using Elements 5 on an XP system and have no trouble selecting the folder, opening it, select the pictures I want to edit and edit them. What am I doing wrong in Elements 11?
How do I associate *.psd files with PSE11? I've tried associating them with:
C:Program Files (x86)AdobeElements 11 OrganizerPhotoshop Elements 11.0.exe
But everytime I click a .psd file, it tries to import the file into the Organizer (even if it has already been imported). I would rather start the editor, or the welcome screen.
I want to determine the size of a (non-dynamic non-annotative) block definition (BlockTableRecord). Does a block have a boundry or limits? For example, if the block would contain a simple square, the size of the block would be equal to the size of the square.
I found a thread where it says it's not possible to open multiple images in PSE-11's Camera Raw. But I would like to transfer the adjustments I make for one image in camera raw to another image. Is that possible?
I'am using Photoshop Elements 11 on my Windows 8, but when creating a catalog everytime I press the button the organizer will crash "Elements 11 organizer has stopped working".I had done re-installing and deleting the file folder before re-installing the software but the problem still occur. I haven't used the software because I just bought it and had done nothing yet with it.
I have moved to a new PC running Windows 7. Is PE 11 compatible with Windows 7? When I try to install PSE 11 I receive this message 'Error opening installation log file. Verify that specified log file exists and is writable'. I have tried all of the fixes in Microsoft and on the web with no positive results.
In PSE 8 I regularly used to round corners of images (as backgrounds or flattened images) by "Select All/Modify/Smooth?10px/Enter/Inverse/Delete" and had perfectly rounded corners to sit on a white background.I cannot for the life of me get the 'Smooth' option to light up in PSE11, it is permanently greyed out. The only 'Modify' option in bold is 'Border'
in PSE9 I could sort an album by date of the picure and then afterwards change locations of single pictures. This was extremely convinient to me. Now I upgraded to PSE11 and I can sort pictures in an album either by date or album order. But if I sort by date, I cant use this as start and only change locations of single pictures afterwards. If I want to do my own order, I need to start from scratch, use the initial order of the album and mover almost every picture.
Do I miss anything or is this functionality from PSE9 really simply gone?
