andrew_fisher2 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 <p>Hi Everyone,<br> I have just updated my laptop to windows 10 and now Elements 10 doesn't work. Gutted.<br> I only use the software to crop scanned film pictures, alter the brightness etc a little bit and edit some scratches out. Do I need elements to do that? It seems like a free software package or something that is already installed with windows 10 should be able to do these simple things?<br> Cheers<br> Andrew.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Bortnick Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 <p>What about the software that came with your camera?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteenthumbs Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 <p>Have you tried running PSE10 in compatibility mode? C:\program files(program files x86)\Adobe\elements\elements.exe right click select run in compatibility with Win 8 or Win7 or similar.<br> Try http://www.irfanview.com/</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgpinc Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 <p>Probably time to update to PS Elements 14. I run 13 with an iMac and it does what I need.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>There are many free programmes which will do what you want. Faststone image viewer has many editing functions. And The Gimp is a very powerful image editor. Perhaps they work with Windows 10?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cegeiss Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>Irfanview and GIMP work both fine under Windows 10. So does Faststone.</p> Christoph Geiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_clark Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>Most however lack high bit-depth editting, color profiles, or the Curves tool which I'd consider essential for film scan work. Have you looked at Picture Window Pro ever?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapien Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>I am not yet familiar this Windows 10 thing. Try to look for to run pse10 in 32-bit compability mode, might work or then not. Photoshop Elements 15 seems to be latest and greatest version of pse. GIMP works too, but I have not found tracking function on clone stamp, so prefer to use pse for film scan dust clone stamping.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mukul_dube Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>GIMP is only 8 bits but it does have the curves tool.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>I suspect you can get PSE 10 to work with a bit of fiddling - others have managed it. See for example: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1919788</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_fisher2 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 <p>Thank you everyone, plenty of useful advice as usual! I'll persist with elements 10 and try and get that to work. I'm not really keen on paying adobe more money and I am against automation generally which newer versions seem to love.<br> Cheers<br> Andrew.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
