F12.

If you have a mac with a short keyboard, like the current bluetooth keyboard, you need to add the Fn key.

Thanks Barbara, I didn't see your reply except the mention of a Mac which I don't have.

However, I did go to Display, on top. When I just hit the F12 key as it indicates, I get a print dialogue box that shows both pictures as though I wanted to print them.

When I click on Display and then click on Display Side by Side, I get what I want, the 2 photos displayed side by side.

Of course I would rather just hit F12. Am I doing something wrong. Thanks,

F12 should work in windows. Are you using a laptop, by any chance? If so, try the Fn key and see if that helps. F11 and F112 usually work in windows, though.

Thanks Barbara: Fist I went into my discussions and it showed 3 replies. But it only lets me choose the latest.

However your last reply said it should work and I agree. But unfortunately the same thing keeps happening and I even rebooted. When I hit F12 I get a print dialogue page.

Is there any place at Adobe to help get this corrected. I appreciate your help. Ed

Oops, meant to add that adobe won't help since you don't have the current version.

Barbara, sorry I didn't get back sooner, but computer problems. I took a
screen shot that cropped it in Paint so you could see the box I get, but
then I could only paste it to word. I couldn't paste it to your site or
this E Mai. Is there a way for me to send you an attachment. Thanks
much

I am sorry but I must be lost. I tried to insert the word doc that had the image of what you wanted, but it wouldn't take it.

Sorry, I thought I mentioned this, but I see I didn't. It must be an image, like a jpg or tiff or gif or png file, not a word processing format like .doc.

Thanks, ear41.

Huh. How strange. Do you have the F12 key assigned as a shortcut for something else system-wide? I really can't figure out why this would happen. Maybe someone else will have an idea.

One thing you might try is to create another user account and see if it works there. I'm afraid that you may have the same problem with PSE 11 if it's some kind of conflict with something in your system.

At least with 11, do I get any kind of support from Adobe for this kind of
problem?

Please launch FSV with F11 and then hit F12. Does that bring Compare Mode?

Thanks

Thanks, but what is "FSV". I gather you want me to launch "FSV" by hitting F11?

I think FSV = Full Screen View. Does it make a difference if you do F11, then F12?

Thanks, I hit F11 and nothing happened and then I hit F12 and got the same box. What's interesting is the shortcuts with Ctrl in front seem to be working. But I tried F5 which is supposed to refresh and nothing happend. SO the shortcuts with just hitting an Fkey do not seem to be working??????

I asked a while ago if this is a laptop and I don't think you ever replied--I can't find your answer if you did. Is it?
