Kerning on Photoshop Elements 10

There used to be no issue with Kerning/letter spacing with elements 10.  Then suddenly I can not adjust it.  Yes, I have tried Asain alaternative 0 but that only helps a little.

Is it fixed in Photoshop 12?  Is there a discount to upgrade?

    I've requested kerning/spacing since version 9.

    You can get around this yourself for free by using scripting:

      Are these instructions for MAC?

      If you read the whole thread, there are mac instructions further down. Thanks, Warunicorn, I'd forgotten you'd posted this.

      But I'd still like to know why Victor is missing so many files.

      Hi,

      If by kerning you are referring to Tsume option in PSE  , then yes it works in PSE 12 and it should work in PSE 10 as well. You have to first select the text and then use the TSume option.

      This is at the lowest 100%  I heard you can reinstall PSE10-anyone know how?


      Reinstalling doesn't delete preferences. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:

      com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist

      Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 settings

      Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths

      In 10.7 or 10.8 that library is hidden. To see it, option-click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little hous for your user account. While you're in there go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything for PSE.

      However, I think it would be simpler to invest a couple of bucks in something like elements+ or one of the other add on toolsets that gives you true kerning. IMHO the problem with your screenshot is probably just the size of the font--tsume works well in inverse proportion to the font size. The bigger the size, the less it does.
