Thanks for all the advice! So you all run more than one version at once, how does that work? Do most of you also use Premiere for video editing?
I don't run more than one version at once, but obviously this has appeal to some who post here for purposes of research, genuine helpfulness to the uninitiated, and other subtle nuances. As the program has evolved over the years, some functionality has been refined/deleted, but, on the other hand, there have been useful additions. So if you have ample disk space on your new computer, keep the old and and go for the new.

Happy 4th everyone!
Just setting up a new computer and was wondering what to do about PSE. I have #7 should I install 7 and then upgrade or buy 13 and start fresh?
Thanks! Arabna, If PSEv.7 will work on the new computer, I would be inclined to utilize it, then buy PSEv.14 when it becomes available later on this year.

Thank you I did not know that filter, but I went in and change the angel but now the corners of the photo is transparent, with the little white and grey blocks. What can I do now. After applying the filter and clicking ok, the background layer is named Layer 0. Duplicate this layer and you will have Layer0Copy as well. Place a blank layer between these two layers and fill it with solid color, or a pattern. If the alignment is not quite right, make the top layer active and position with the move tool, and expand or contract with the corner handles of the move tool. Note: The checker-board pattern which you describe denotes transparency. You can crop it away as has been suggested, or fill the transparent area to "frame" the picture, if you are so inclined.

I took a skew photo and now want to correct it in Elements 9. How can I do that. I do not have a lot of space to play with as some faces is on the sides of the photo. Mariette, I believe that in PSEv.9 you have Filter>"Correct Camera Distortion". See if this does the trick.

MajorMajor, Your work-flow eliminates saving the snip and this is new to me. Thanks for sharing. I should like to point out to the uninitiated that the snip tool allows one to be selective as to the content that is captured, i.e. it behaves much like a crop tool. It clearly does not behave like the PrtScr command, which captures the entire screen.

I activated the Snipping Tool but didn't use it. I don't see where there is any advantage over just saving an image out of Tiny Pic to My Pictures and going from there. If there is a way I'm not seeingplease inform me. thanks dick Just another way to do things. I thought that is what you wanted.

,,,,,,,,,now I have a question. Thats dangerous right up front. ..... Is it possible to reach out to an online Storage, ie: Tiny Pic and grab image with PSE Editor or must it be located in the computer My Picture's? dick Use the Snipping tool in windows to "snip" the picture Save it to a folder on your desktop (temporarily) Open PSE and point to the "snip" in the desktop folder, then open the picture file in PSE

box that says "Could not complete this operation. There was not enough memory available."
How much RAM do you have on your machine?

Not an editor question, but didn't see any place for this question, so - I'm thinking of upgrading this computer, and the one I'm looking at does not have a CD drive. I have Elements 10 on a cd, what I'm wondering is if there is any way to get it on to a new computer without the cd drive? pwahl, Yes. Follow the directions in this tech note: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-downloads.html

philosan, In Editor, go to Edit>Preferences>Display and Cursors. Check "Normal Brush Tip" Select "Other cursors>standard" That may fix it.

Could someone please explain how to darken a background and lighten a subject on the same image with PSE 9? I took a picture of someone with a window in the background. laurenjay, Thanks for your e-mail. Glad that this method works for you.

I took a picture of someone with a window in the background. laurejay Use one of the selection tools, e.g. lasso tool, selection brush, to select the foreground object. Feather 5-10px. Create levels adjustment layer #1 Press CTRL+left click the layer mask (the rectangle) on levels adjustment layer #1 Select the original image layer again in the layers palette Go to Select>Inverse Create levels adjustment layer #2 Now, you can adjust the foreground and background independently by double clicking the layer thumbnail (on the left) on the respective adjustment layer. Use the sliders below the histogram.

davep9,
DPI=dots per inch, which is determined by the printer (print head, ink cartridges, driver, etc.) PX/in=pixels per inch, which refers to the resolution of the file. For printing, it is recommended that the px/in value be in the 240-300 range. For web work, 72 px/in is ok. You can ascertain the resolution of you files readily by going to Image>resize>Image size. You can resample here, if necessary for your purpose.

Probably a silly question; but, what does the button "upload via postimage.org" do ?
Is this postimage.org a photo hosting site like pixentral or cubeupload ?
Thanks for reading. This is a test. Uploaded via postimage in a flash!
