BellaOnline Forums Computers Digital Art and Design Need Help with Photoshop Elements 7

Hey there everyone!

I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 7 and in general I love it. However every time I start up the software it starts with a "sign up with us!" screen which I have to skip. then it goes into some sort of a organizer thing that shows me the last item I worked on. I have to do editor - Full Edit to get to the regular full editor I'm used to.

Then I have to shut down that image and the selector / organizer thing to get everything fresh.

How do I just get the editor itself to open like it used to?

Hi Lisa,

Adobe really did try to fix it so that we had to deal with that Welcome screen, and the ads, every time!! Older versions offered you a choice but with PE7 there is no choice.

One workaround is to tweak the shortcut to the program. Right-click on the PE7 shortcut icon or the program name in your list of Program Files. In the Properties dialog box click on the Shortcut tab. Change the path from Photoshop Elements 7.0.exe to PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe. Click Apply. The next time you use the icon it should open in the Editor workspace.

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
