I’m sure this is a really lame question, but I’m not sure how to down load the ‘Trolley’ image so I can work on this tutorial. ‘Download this file’ opened the image in Quick time, but how do I get it to my elements program from the internet! Thanks,
Janine

Right click on photo, select “save picture as” and Bob’s your uncle.

Janine,
The file should be saved on your computer, in whatever folder you have downloads set to. It will download as a ZIP file, which you can double-click (or right-click) to extract the photo. You can then open the image inside Photoshop Elements (File > Open).

I am unable to open the file. I’m no expert but I don’t usually have trouble downloading. Both SAVE and SAVE AS were greyed out. When I right click, they ask for an upgrade, I say NO, and then there are no more options.

Hi Phyllis,
You should just click on the “Download this file” link (not right-click) and the TIF file will download to your regular downloads folder. I don’t understand the ‘Upgrade’ menu – I don’t see that at all when I right-click on the download link.
Once it’s on your computer, you should be able to open it from inside Elements.

Hi Rick,
I have been having trouble downloading several of the sites ZIP files. They seem to download OK but when I try to unzip them with WINZIP Pro 14.5 it errors out. The file size for the zip file is 10% of what it should be. Re-downloading – and letting the download “replace” the existing file – works most of the time – sometimes on the third or fourth attempt and I get the full file. Files that have this problem with usually have an extra file in the ZIP file that I assume is an “Apple” added feature. (I use windows).
Case in point
PET-trolley.zip
has the graphic (PET-trolly.tif)
and a folder “_MACOSX” with a file “._PET-trolley.tif”
Wondering if Phyllis is runing Windows . . .

James,
I’ll check those out and see if I can duplicate the problem. I try to make sure all of the files are Windows- and Mac-friendly, and we seem to have had a bunch of problems with that darn trolley pic.
Thanks,
Rick

I keep getting one of two error messages when I try to unzip the file depending on what extracting method I use. Either: The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupt. Or, No files to Extract.
I have deleted the file and have re-downloaded it and always get the same error messages. Any suggestions?

If your using Windows – try re-downloading the file – I run into this – see earlier post.

1. I located file
2. Downloaded it
3. Found the file under downloads on the date downloaded
4. I opened the zipped folder by double clicking on it (if n.g. find another program (freeware to open Zip.)
5. Zip opened as pet-trolley.tif
6. I right-clicked this and opened with Photoshop Elements
7. Nice technique but does take some time.
