Is there a tool/tutorial that will tilt a photo front to rear? IE, if a photo has a person who appears to be leaning back, is it possible to straighten it up?
Regards
Taff G
Hi Taff, there are some significant differences between Photoshop Elements vs. the full Photoshop CS/CC, and here is one of them…
The most powerful manipulation choices for something like that are the Warp Tools in the full Photoshop.
Photoshop Elements doesn’t have those, though you may be able to accomplish something similar with Elements’ Liquify filter – or the Transformation tools, depending on what you want to do.
Thank you for your prompt answer.
I have a photo in which the person appears to be leaning backwards and wonder if it is possible to straighten him up a touch. If so how?
I am a complete novice with Elements 11. I am 74 yrs old and trying to keep my mind active.
Regards
Taff
Good for you Taff! You (like all of us) have to walk before you can run – so first, start off with the free PSE tutorials above to get your feet wet, and learn how to use the basics of Photoshop Elements. Then check out the two links in the last sentence of our previous comment, and see if those help achieve your specific goal.
Hello,
I am using PE 11 and really thrilled with it.
However, I am still at the basic stage and I have a problem which I am hoping you can assist me with ???
I have photographed a very old Black and White Map in the RAW format, so I can enlarge it and make a large wall print feature.
The problem is, the map has become stained with aging and while I have tried all the tricks I know of to remedy this, the results are very poor.
Are you able to help me in any way ???
I read your emails regularly and find your advice to be excellent.
Regards,
Norman Parke.
Hello again Norman, thanks for your kind words. For something like that we’d google, “old photograph restoration photoshop” for the best techniques to use, depending on what the exact problems are and what you want to do with it…
Here is one particularly good and thorough tutorial series on the subject from Adobe.
Will do and catch you later.
Taff
I have PSE 11 and for some reason, it will not save new color swatches made. Any suggestions or what can I do?
Thank you!
Hi Sue, have you read the documentation on how to use the Color Swatches Panel?
I purchased Elements 11 six months ago and am still pulling my hair. I have an old PC that is slowly dying and on it I have Elements 6. Can work Elements 6 with my eyes shut, in particular, open a blank page, resize it and crop photos, then move them to the blank page, save and print. I can not do this with 11, can find the blank page, but can’t move it so I can see my chosen cropped photos, then place them on the page. Really frustrating. Have Elements removed this feature? HELP.
Sorry, forgot to mention, my Elements 11 is for Mac, Changed from PC to Mac because of their iPhoto programme, thought it did more than it does, its great for standard size photos, but it won’t let me resize and place on a blank page either. I’m an old scrapbooker hence the odd sizes of photos that I want to print.
Also, while I have an expert to help, my Photoshop Elements 11 rolls while I am looking at photos, I go to click on a photo to enlarge it to check it out, then the screen rolls. Is there a problem with this particular element ?
Again many thanks in anticipation of help.
Cheers
Barbara
Hey there Barbara, very sorry to hear you’re having difficulties, and wish we could offer some good suggestions – but we are not sure why you can’t do what you describe, it all sounds very reasonable.
In any version of Photoshop or Elements you should be able to easily open multiple images, resize/crop, and copy and paste between them. We do it every day here, although we use Photoshop CC and not Elements – but you still should be able to do those basic things with what you have.
Also, not sure what you mean by “the screen rolls,” never heard of it. Are you sure your computer is okay?
I have a PC. Photoshop Elements 12 freezes when I click the photo bin or organizer. If you can’t help where can I get help, it’s very frustrating.
Thanks Gina
Welcome Gina, sorry to hear you’re having difficulties. You might check the Troubleshoot System Errors, Freezes page for Photoshop Elements and see if that helps… Or you could try googling the problem with a few key words on the problem. Or contacting Adobe Support directly.
I am a retired senior and not good at all with computer stuff.
My 40th anniversary gift computer came with Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.
I made a photo slideshow with music of my grandkids. It is okay but I saw another person’s photo slideshow and the photos were moving and in different motions while the music played.
My question? how do I add motion to all 50 photos in my slideshow?
Thanks for helping, as it seems very confusing to me.
George
Greetings George, we’d suggest checking out Adobe’s free online manual for the version of Elements that you have… There you can find everything you need to know about how to use the slide show function for your release.
You can even download your manual as a full PDF guide that you can keep on your computer or tablet for handy future reference and easy searching.
I have listened to multiple instructions on videos from the internet showing how to get rid of a double chin. Some of the commands, etc., do not show as stated on Photoshop 11. Please help me — I need a step by step or blow by blow description on what to do to get rid of a double chin. I am making a scrapbook for a member of the family and it is imperative I can make one of the photographs more flattering to this individual.
Hello Barbara, this video tutorial for “how to remove a double chin” is presented with Photoshop Elements 12, but it should work very similarly for PSE 11:
I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 three years ago and never installed it. Now, I am going to scan and save A LOT of pictures. I must be able to type something below each picture (i.e., name, place, date). Does Photoshop ElementS 11 do this? I watched the “organizing” clip, but it doesn’t specifically say I can type something under a photo.
Hey Kim, do you mean like photo captions?

Hi
Re: PhotoShop Elements
I want to use an online printer company to print my promotional flyers etc. sites state that the up-loaded artwork must be: CMYK / pdf / 150dpi / scale and I would need to be able to create a 3mm bleed.
Please could you tell me if this is achievable with the current or any versions of “Elements”?
Thank you
Howard Jones
Hi Howard, the CMYK color model has never been supported in Elements versions, only in the full Adobe Photoshop – in fact, it’s one of the significant differences between Photoshop vs. Elements.
To get the full, gold-standard Adobe Photoshop, if that’s all you need, then currently your best option is the CC Photography Plan, which also includes Lightroom – as well as ongoing updates & upgrades for both products. For more details, check out:

Hope that helps!
