@sweetiepie66ify Just press the Bracket Keys [ ] on your keyboard. They are right next to the letter P. The left Bracket Key makes your Brush smaller and the right Bracket Key makes it larger. If that doesn't work, try re-starting Elements. If it still doesn't work, let me know. Good luck! - Rick
Rick, I find your videos very helpful and hope that you will keep up the good work! You have a wonderful way of helping us to work around photoshop! I have a question. Selection tool, you do selection and when we go 'overboard' we use the option key and click and drag (using Mac). I am having a hard time to get back to selecting after working the 'extras' away. It is these end-off key strokes that is killing me. Thanks for your time!
@ohappydeals If I understand correctly, after you clean-up your selection you still have more areas to select on that same image. Then you hold down the Shift Key and click once, and then you can let go of the Shift Key and continue selecting. The Shift Key allows you to add to a Selection. If you're adding on to the area you fixed, start your first click a little inside the Selection and work your way to the edge. Good luck! - Rick
@EssentialPSElements Rick, thanks very much. I enjoyed the tube. I tried to follow the technique you used for blurring and then selectively deblurring. I can't make it work. I created a background layer and a mask. Selected a brush, ensured my color was black and tried removing the blur without success. Am I missing a step?
@The2soaringhearts Make sure you click on the thumbnail of the Layer Mask in your Layers Panel before brushing. Let me know if that works. Good luck! - Rick
@EssentialPSElements I did check on the layer mask in the panel first. The info at the top of the image states it is my picture title@39.6% (Levels 1, Layer Mask/8). Still cannot get the brush to selectively remove blurring. My brush is set at 60 pixels, mode is in overlay, opacity is 45%.
@medleyaj01 No you can't edit videos with Photoshop Elements, but Adobe does make a relatively inexpensive program called Premiere Elements which is made for video editing.
Deciding between Lightroom and this. Obviously Lightroom can't do what most of this can, but I love what it can do. Can I do a lot of what Lightroom can in PSElements in roundabout ways?
1. - Make sure your Foreground Color is set to Black as shown in the video.
2. - Before you start brushing click on the thumbnail of your Layer Mask in the Layers Panel to make sure that's what you're affecting. You'll know your Layer Mask is active because it will get a border around the four corners of the thumbnail of the Layer Mask.
@MsHanne90 Yes, you can add a person from one photo into another photo using Photoshop Elements. First you need to make a selection around the person. Then use the Move Tool to click and drag the person to the new photo. - Rick
@EssentialPSElements ...Hello sir. I am a recent convert to digital photography after spending years refining my film and dark room skills. Admittedly I was reluctant initially but as I come to understand the new cameras I'm growing quite fond of this 'new' medium. The power of s/w like elements is simply amazing and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the excellent video and I'm now on my way to visit your site.
@Akileze You're welcome! I'm glad you're warming up to digital photography, it has many possibilities, especially when coupled with PS Elements. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@gagandhaliwal2007 No, unfortunately Photoshop Elements 9 does not have Puppet Warp. That's only in the full version of Photoshop. Thanks for watching! - Rick
@jackies35 The Organizer is new for the Mac version of Elements 9. In earlier versions the Windows operating systems shipped with the Organizer and the Mac OS shipped with Bridge. You can still keep the older versions of Elements on your Mac after you get PSE 9 and still use Bridge if you want.
Just wanted to thank you , I will use your tips in this viedo. I was very easy to understand. I have save it as one of my Favorites. I am going to search for more of your viedos. Thanks
@DeniiaLL Photoshop CS5 has some features that Elements doesn't. For instance I work for a printing company and we have to work in CMYK colorspace which Elements does not support. But Elements has more than enough sophistication for the home photographer and I would argue even enough for the professional photographer. And of course it costs about 6 times less. - Rick
RICK PLEASE man /!!! is it possible to save the WATER mark and use it again fast...or put in multiplus pictures at same time??????????????? many thanks if u can answer that !!!!
I do not have content aware with the healing brush. Is it possible that feature is on the mac version and not PC?
Also when I apply a filter from the pallet bin I do not get a dialog box to adjust the filter. is there a solution? in ver 7 it automaticly poped up to adjust blur or a distortion.
@munciephotography Content Aware is definitely in both Mac and PC versions of Elements 9. But it's not with the Healing Brush, it's with the Spot Healing Brush which is nested with the Healing Brush (click and hold on the Healing Brush in the Toolbox to get to it).
In vers.9 you no longer get a Dialog Box when you apply a filter from the Effects Panel. It just apples a set amount. You have to go through the Filter Menu to get the Dialog Box. Not sure why they took that away. Good Luck - Rick
i have cs5 photoshop but wanted to know the difference between this and photoshop cs5? ... is it like a drastic difference becuase if this is a cheaper way to photoshop things i woudl rather do this .. i mostly just create backgrounds for my laptop and you the blur tool and fx tool to make transparent
@kjenki11 I think there's a very good possibility that you can do what you describe with Photoshop Elements. The best way to know is to download a free 30 day trial version and see for yourself.
If you go to my website and click on the link in the upper right corner that says "Details Here" it will show you how.
I didn't explain myself very well. I have a copy of the picture. I just don't know how I created the effect I ended up with. I have no idea what functions I used. So therefore I don't know what key words I could use to see if there is tutorial on it. I bet from now on, when I create something I really like, I will write down how I created it.
BTW my son talked me into buying this and I am so glad I did. Opened up a whole new world in regards to photography.
I really enjoy working with pse9. I have joined a group on the net where we take turns posting one of our pictures and everyone does their own thing to enhance and change as they want. My problem is I have found some effects that I really liked when I was messing around and now I can't duplicate it. I saved one picture I was messing with, but don't know how to search for it. Wish there was pictures somewhere that showed all the different fun effects. Over all elements 9 is fantastic.
@TigerByTheTail1 Joining a group is a great way to get yourself to explore the many possibilities with Elements.
Maybe you could set up a folder just for your projects you work on with your group and save all your photos to it. Then you'll know exactly where to find them.
I am really struggling with the pse9 it would be nice to have a person standing over my shoulder to tell me what I am doing wrong. There are so many things on pse9 that don't work is every situation. Frustrating. I want to be really good at this. Thanks for your reply, Rick.
I love your video, but my photoshop elements 9 will not do this. I even played the video over and over and followed the instructions strictly, but no go. the layer mask will not erase. Help !! Never mind, I found that I have to set the mode to normal. Thanks,
I love your video, but my photoshop elements 9 will not do this. I even played the video over and over and followed the instructions strictly, but no go. the layer mask will not erase. Help !!
I know this is probably a stupid question is it worth the extra money buying the elements 9 premier to also edit videos? I do like to make CDs with my pic but I'm a noob to photography since I switched over to DSLR equipment ( Nikon d5000 kit with sb600 flash and two extra lens 55mm-200mm telephoto and a macro 35mm). I have Sony Vegas movie maker hd 09 I just need to see if it will work with my Mac since I installed it in am old windows laptop.
@steve702 Hi - Nice camera setup! I wish I could help you with video advice but I don't know anything about Premier Elements, just Photoshop Elements. Good luck and thanks for watching - Rick
@Abafee Just drag the layer you want to duplicate onto the Create New Layer icon in the Layers Panel. Or go up to the Layers menu and choose Duplicate Layer… Good luck. - Rick
Great TUT but after scratching my head following your instructions I couldn't get it to work UNTIL I clicked on the actual layer mask and then it did. Just thought I'd add that
@8tatts Wonder no more. I assure you it is me speaking. Maybe I'm hanging around my computer so much that I'm starting to sound like it ;^) Thanks for watching. - Rick
Hello, I've been trying to use my brush,I can't get the circle, I keep getting the crosshairs even after adjusting brush size. Any suggestions? Great video btw.
Because this video is about the new features in Photoshop Elements 9 it would not work the same in Photoshop 5. You could probably get the same results but the technique to get the results would be different. Good luck. - Rick
@MaqnusBl No, Photoshop CS5 Extended is the full version of Photoshop plus some added features that allows you to work with 3D and motion-based images.
Photoshop Elements is a completely separate program that has many of the features that Photoshop CS5 has.
But one thing can be made easier way. in ht echapter with the layer marks you painted the flower red again but you could do this in one step by pressing (A) and choosing an motive out of the list.
@EssentialPSElements Good Show, Old Boy. I was particularly grateful for your non-hyper-frenetic pace and shepherding voice. Thanks for this video. I'm new to PSE 9 (upgraded from 6), but have used the full Photoshop in the past and always froze up when I got to any mention of mask—I could not figure out what it was. Your gentle explanation makes me feel like I can make that feature useful to me. I am now a subscriber.
@TheKazShow1590 This will work if you still have the photo open in Elements and haven't saved it. Otherwise I'm afraid you're out of luck.
Go to the Window menu and make sure there's a checkmark next to Undo History. If there isn't click on Undo History and you'll see a checkmark appear and the Undo History Panel will be visible.
Now look through your list in the Panel and you should see one that says Delete Layer. Go to the line right above that and click on it. Your Layer should reappear.
HELP!!!! I am really new to this, but I can follow your steps on the flower to get the color to come out.... however when I go to paint it with black, instead of the color shining thru like yours does.. it just blurs it all.. please tell me what I could be doing wrong. thanks so much!! Kim
@knkuppy89 Hi Kim -Instead of using the Regular Brush to paint with you might have the Impressionist Brush selected. Go to your Brush in the Toolbox and click and hold your mouse button down.
You will see 4 different Brushes and their names. Make sure you have the one that's just named "Brush Tool" selected.
Also, BEFORE you paint with black make sure you click on the thumbnail of the actual Layer Mask in the Layers Panel.
@kmusicxx You're very welcome. I'm glad it helped. You can change brush size by pressing the left and right bracket keys. They are located next to the letter P on your keyboard. Right=Larger, Left=Smaller.
I buy the package adobe photoshop elements 9 but i can not do video 6 were I have to go for do some video^ and everytime it ask me the serial number but I write the correct and its not ok.. ^ help me!!thanks
I'm very confused I just started working with PE 9 does it have "actions" ? I can't find it anywhere I just want to know how to open an action if I download one, and hoe to open it to actually use it.
@ash9023 For some reason I get an error when I try to send you a link, but if you google thecoffeeshopblog there's lots of good action info and some free actions.
Rick I don't understand how you made the brush tool larger, your circle thing. I tried

@fadusysko Check to see if you have Cap Locks turned on on your keyboard. Let me know if that works. Good luck! - Rick

Because this video is about the new features in Photoshop Elements 9 it would not work the same in Photoshop 5. You could probably get the same results but the technique to get the results would be different. Good luck. - Rick

is photoshop elements 9 included in photoshop cs5 extended?
MaqnusBl 1 year ago
@MaqnusBl No, Photoshop CS5 Extended is the full version of Photoshop plus some added features that allows you to work with 3D and motion-based images.
Photoshop Elements is a completely separate program that has many of the features that Photoshop CS5 has.
Hope that helps. - Rick

the video is usefull!
But one thing can be made easier way. in ht echapter with the layer marks you painted the flower red again but you could do this in one step by pressing (A) and choosing an motive out of the list.

would you say this is just for photos or woud it be good to use for coloring drawings and makeing comics?
and is it simple to use for most people?
DeathDragonSparda 1 year ago
@DeathDragonSparda I don't personally have experience with the drawing aspect of Elements, but go to Amazon and look for these 2 books:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Digital Art, Illustration & Cartoons by Chris Madden
Digital Expressions: Creating Digital Art with Adobe Photoshop Elements by Susan Tuttle
As far as being simple to use, I would say you need to spend a fair amount of time upfront but then it becomes very intuitive.
Good Luck! - Rick

@EssentialPSElements Good Show, Old Boy. I was particularly grateful for your non-hyper-frenetic pace and shepherding voice. Thanks for this video. I'm new to PSE 9 (upgraded from 6), but have used the full Photoshop in the past and always froze up when I got to any mention of mask—I could not figure out what it was. Your gentle explanation makes me feel like I can make that feature useful to me. I am now a subscriber.

I accidentally deleted my layer on the edit and am unsure how to get it back please help me!!!!
TheKazShow1590 1 year ago
@TheKazShow1590 This will work if you still have the photo open in Elements and haven't saved it. Otherwise I'm afraid you're out of luck.
Go to the Window menu and make sure there's a checkmark next to Undo History. If there isn't click on Undo History and you'll see a checkmark appear and the Undo History Panel will be visible.
Now look through your list in the Panel and you should see one that says Delete Layer. Go to the line right above that and click on it. Your Layer should reappear.

HELP!!!! I am really new to this, but I can follow your steps on the flower to get the color to come out.... however when I go to paint it with black, instead of the color shining thru like yours does.. it just blurs it all.. please tell me what I could be doing wrong. thanks so much!! Kim
knkuppy89 1 year ago
@knkuppy89 Hi Kim -Instead of using the Regular Brush to paint with you might have the Impressionist Brush selected. Go to your Brush in the Toolbox and click and hold your mouse button down.
You will see 4 different Brushes and their names. Make sure you have the one that's just named "Brush Tool" selected.
Also, BEFORE you paint with black make sure you click on the thumbnail of the actual Layer Mask in the Layers Panel.
Thanks for watching! - Rick

What keys do you push on the keyboard to change the brush size?
kmusicxx 1 year ago
@kmusicxx You're very welcome. I'm glad it helped. You can change brush size by pressing the left and right bracket keys. They are located next to the letter P on your keyboard. Right=Larger, Left=Smaller.
