Yes, I know that sounds crazy but ...
I have a new PC with Elements 13 on it. I have several plugins installed as well. However, I went looking for a feature in Photomerge to copy a photo style from one to another and it wasn't to be found. Did a search on the 'Net and found it was dropped from 13 but I know (and confirmed) it's in PSE 10. So .... if I were to install PSE 10 on top of PSE 13 am I heading for a whole pile of grief (especially with plugins) or will I get away with it?
ADVthanksANCE,
Paul T.

Hi shakes , We hear this regularly; a useful feature was removed in a subsequent release  However, you do not have to worry about installing your v10; all versions of Photoshop Elements coexist peacefully on a single computer. They each create different directories during installation, so there is no worry about collisions. I have v11, v13 and v14 on my computer, for example. |

Paul -
You'll have no problem. Our own Sepiana (you'll see her name frequently around here) has umpteen versions of PSE installed and they all play nicely together.
And welcome to our forum!

Hi Paul T, welcome to PSE&M!
There should be no problem. Each version of Elements is an independent one. You can have multiple versions installed on the same computer. I have Elements 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 installed on the same computer in perfect harmony.

I have both Elements 10 and Elements 13. I am curious. Would you please elaborate on this? In Elements 13 Adobe introduced a new version of Photomerge. This new version walks you through the necessary steps and helps you adjust the lighting in the two images to yield a more realistic result.
Adobe removed a lot of features from Elements 12 but not from Elements 13. The features which were removed from Elements 13 were . . .
- The ability to scan directly into Elements using TWAIN if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. - The Photo Mail feature. - The Slide Show Editor.
The Slide Show Editor was replaced by a slideshow feature which is much easier to use but it doesn't give you as much control over the final product.

Thank you for the response but I'm not sure what you mean when you ask me to elaborate. There was a feature in 10 that allowed tyou to copy the style of one photograph such as a sepia tone or a cross processing effect to another photo. This was listed in the Photomerge menu. But not in the PSE 13 version. |

Well, thanks guys for the quick responses and the reassurance. I will have to call back here on a regular basis to see what everybody else gets up to and possibly lend a helping hand.
Cheers,
Paul T.

I am going to check around to see what more I can find out about this. I also need to check Elements 11, 12, and 14. BTW, thanks so much for posting this thread! I owe you one! I'm teaching Elements to two groups of students, using Elements 11 through 14. This coming week we will be covering the Photomerge feature. If anyone brought up this issue, I would have been completely unprepared to handle it. |

Paul,
You are absolutely correct. Adobe removed Photomerge Style Match starting with Elements 13. As I mentioned before, in this version Adobe introduced a new kind of Photomerge -- Photomerge Compose -- which walks you through the necessary steps and helps you adjust the lighting in the two images to yield a more realistic result. The way I understand it, when Adobe talks about "style match", they are essentially talking about transferring the tonal properties of one image to another. In this sense, Photomerge Compose will do it via the Auto Match Color Tone button. When you click on this button, Elements makes the lighting and color of the moved object similar to the lighting and color of the background image. You can also use the sliders to manually adjust luminance, contrast, temperature, and saturation. This may not be what you want but it is the closest to the Photomerge Style Match Adobe removed in Elements 13.

Thanks Sepiana. I'll have a look at that feature and see how it works out for me.
