Multiple selection of layer in Photoshop Elements 10
I used Photoshop CS3 at work, now I'm retired I started using PS 10-elements; can't afford the real thing! I thought that would be substantially the same as CS3 for fairly simple jobs.
I can't select more than one layer. I select a layer and then hold the Ctrl key, select another layer. The first layer is not checked and the second is selected. I use "Select"-> "All layers", but I am still unable to deselect the layers individually. I know it must be something I am doing wrong, but I'm at a loss to know what! Help!
I found the answer!
A little dark, but to know about. I run two computers from the same keyboard and mouse. The second computer is a server for my farm and for security reasons is almost a firewall from the internet but access to it and its screen using 'Synergy' (http://synergy-foss.org/) over the network. Sounds complex but once you have it stood up and launched, you can forget about it and your mouse and your keyboard just move between computers as if they were one.
Not with Photoshop but! That's what was causing the problem and was slaughter control keys work.
Deactivation of synergy makes it work OK!
All my other software is OK with synergy.
If I use a computer slower than the master of synergy and then use Photoshop on the slave of synergy, that the control key works even on a fast machine.
Thanks for your help. I'll see now if synergy know this kind of problem!

Layer of Photoshop Elements 7 record didn't collapse. Need help!
Hi all
Recently, I bought an online catalog, is .psd format and I assumed that everything is covered in the layer that is editable.
I downloaded not by then, and most of the contents are under folder. Others work very well, I saw in the internet tutorial that to just double-click on it and they will show a fall to the bottom of the box.
But in PSE7, it does not work. Instead, they asked me to rename.
I screenshot them and see below.
I'm working on Windows 7 OS btw
Photoshop elements normally does not allow users to open, close, or edit groups of layers (layer sets), which are usually made in the full version of photoshop (cs6 or cc2014)
If you notice the pencil with slash icon to the right of the folder name in the layers Panel means that this group of layers is not editable in pse 7.
If you want to change layer groups, you can use this action to be completed on the village of elements:
Open layer sets in PSE7 - elements Village
Or check items.

Simulation of layer in Photoshop Elements 7 mask
I downloaded a PDF file on the site of Photoshop Elements 7 Adobe elements Inspiration browser entitled Simulation of layer mask in PSE7 and followed the steps exactly. However, one of the steps asks you to choose "layer > Create Clipping Mask. I do not see 'Create clipping mask' in the menu layers or anywhere else. This tutorial is messed up, or did I miss something?
Here is the help of PSE 7 page. According to Mark in his post, this is the layer
http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/7.0_Win/WSae2ea3b149d0c3591ae939f103860b3d59-7f85.html
Adobe has renamed the clipping clipping mask group command. They work the exact same way that the name is different. * Keep in mind the name change when you look at or read tutorials on the web.
I think that change of name of this command were made in order to match orders between the various Adobe products.

I have this problem clayers of forms regarding
Photoshop CC2015 (on a Mac / Yosemite) gives me a spinning wait 2-3 seconds (sometimes more), whenever I do these simple gestures:
-create a simple form with the tool shape on a canvas layer empty
-selection of a shape in the tab layer Layer
-Select a path of shape layer with the direct Selection on the canvas tool
whenever I interact with a shape on the canvas or in the layer tab layer, I have this wheel that turns 2-3 sec asking me to wait for the next action...
a big thank you to who can help you!
OK so I had to uninstall photoshop via menu creative cloud and the removal of preferences when asked and re - install

the menu command for editing photos as a layer in photoshop elements is used out of lightroom
Why these four commands are eliminated?
You have items added as an external editor in the preferences editor > external editing?
You can add images to the layers to 10 items from Lightroom. The Edit in > open as layers is made for Photoshop.

I am trying to create a GIF in Adobe Photoshop elements 11. To give you the objective of the final result - I am trying to create the illusion of dog legs walking on a yellow background. Each image individual leg is a separate layer on the yellow background. I want my background layer to ALWAYS show during the animation. In ADDITION, I want each paw image to stay on the yellow background that he hosts (if possible). Here are the steps that I took:
- I have my background layer (yellow background)
- I layered all the other images on the top (8 paw print images)
- I placed these images where I want them on the background layer
I know that to create a GIF file, I go to 'Save the image for the web', select GIF and click "animate". The problem is when I preview the animation, it's a single image at a time, instead of the overlay and keeping them on the screen as the animation progresses.
At the very least, I want the yellow background to show during the animation. I can live with that if the paw prints don't stay on ;-)
I would appreciate any insight/help! Thank you!
I think that you need to merge each layer with your yellow background, and then try again the gif.
In other words, put the yellow background under each layer and merge the top layer with the yellow background.

elements mobile with a layer - option 'free transform' in Photoshop Elements 7
Hello
I hope someone can help out and answer my questions. Thank you.
Description of the task:
I want to create a tool that is able to visualize the position of the pieces on a game board. Right now I use Photoshop Elements 7.
I think the following would be appropriate:
2 layers, the base layer would show the game board and the pictures of the parts would be on the second layer. If I try to do with Photoshop Elements 7 then every time when I insert an image of a coin, a new layer is created. I don't need a layer according to the schema. Yes, we could reduce a layer afterwards. But it is not so comfortable in this way.
In addition, the pictures of the parts must be mobile on the game board. There is the 'free transform' option in Photoshop Elements 7, but only one single element (one piece) is mobile thereafter. All the inserted elements should be mobile.
So my question: is - this doable in Photoshop Elements 7? If this is not the case, what version of Photoshop Elements would be appropriate or what software do I need?
Select a layer in the layer stack, and then select the move tool from the upper part of the tool palette. You can then drag the room around and use the handles of the bounding box to wide angle. Hold down the SHIFT key to keep the proportions.

Photoshop Elements 9 - cannot use the brush in the adjustment layer
Hello
I am new to Adobe Photoshop Elements and have recently purchased Elements 9. I have problems with the brush in the levels of adjustment.
I opened a RAW image and converted to black and white to desaturate using an adjustment layer. I then try to adjust the black and white image using several levels of adjustment. I use the brush to hide parts of the image in the particular adjustment layer I don't want to change. It worked at first, but for some reason, the brush stopped working in adjustment layers. It's a soft brush the 300px value, mode is 'Normal' and the opacity is 100%. In other words, is not obliterate anything in the layer, or whatever it is appears in the thumbnail of the rightmost (these two things happened before)
The brush works normally when you adjust an image with no level i.e. When you simply open a RAW or TIFF file and use the brush.
I tried to uninstall the program and reinstall it, but the problem persists.
Can anyone offer any help? It's frustrating because I can't adjust my image selectively. I do something wrong, it is a bug, or is it just a simple matter of checking a simple box somewhere in the pre-series?
Hoping someone can help.
Make sure you have your brush set to black (foreground in black color)
and that makes your painting on the layer mask (click on the layer mask
to make it active).
Try just paint on the mask of your adjustment layer to desaturate the photo
with a black brush (color to come back)
Sometimes with several adjustment layers, strokes on a layer mask can overlap
the strokes on the other.
If you want more control over a black and white conversion, you can try something like
What follows.
1. Add a hue\saturation adjustment layer and change the layer blending mode to color
2. Add another layer of setting hue\saturation and move the saturation to-100
3. on the first adjustment layer (the one with the color blending mode), move the hue
and saturation for different effects, black and white cursors.
4. If you want to add a color tint, set the hue\saturation albums layer colouring and
Adjust the sliders hue and saturation for effects of different hue.

Photoshop Elements 14 Quick Selection tool breaks
I often use the quick selection tool to clone or highlight areas of the image for the special edition. Invariably, after several weeks of use, it stops working. It does not have the AutoFill feature nor can I enclose an area for further editing. In the past, I just uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Elements. Last week, not even this method worked. This was also a problem in Photoshop elements 11, in my experience. What is the cause of the problem and what is the solution?
A simple reset will often do the trick. Go to this link and select the Quick Selection tool:

Why omit Photoshop elements 14 for the selection of Color Variations in the color "adjust" knocked down? That was helpful. What do you suggest me to use in a place?
If you have a copy of PES 11 or earlier version, you could install it and use it for this.

Hi, my photoshop won't allow me to select layers with my mouse, I have to go to each individual layer on the side to select. On the computers at my school, I was always able to select a layer group to the right of the file I'm working on that. Have to go to the layers panel and select each layer one is really long time and not effective - what do I do to fix this?
