How use easily photoshop elements 12 and bridge cs4 ?

i use bridge to classify my photos .I would like to buy photoshop elements 12 but I don't want to use the organiser (i tryed before but all my photos are in double xith the organiser and its take too much place in my mac!)
is it possible to use bridge and PSE 12 easily ?
thanks

Well, yes and no. You can use CS4 bridge, but you can't update the raw converter, so you won't be able to see thumbnails or do conversions for any raw files from cameras that aren't fairly old. But the bridge file type associations should automatically update to send pics to PSE 12 for editing.
However, although I'm not an organizer fan, either, there's one thing in your post that may be a misunderstanding:
all my photos are in double xith the organise
The organizer is just a database. It doesn't contain any photos at all, and the only time it ever copies a photo without specifically being told to do so is whent you import a whole photo library from iphoto, and then it does this to avoid writing into the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is a Very Bad Thing to do. You shouldn't use bridge on your iphoto library, either.

  • Lightroom versus PhotoShop Elements Organizer and Bridge

    This is directed to the Adobe Developer Team
    I hope someone of the Developer team is reading this!!
    For my understanding the three products out of one house (PhotoShop Elements Organizer, Bridge and Lightroom) doing about the same, should ...
    work the same (same idea, same behaviour, organizing by path/subfolders instead of cataloges etc.)
    maintain the same database and files (LR should recognize the collections from BR and Vice Versa, use the same cache files etc.) and should
    be compatible to each other (e.g. Tags, Collections etc)
    Actually I suggest ADOBE
    to eliminate Organizer and integrate the good functions into BRIDGE (e.g. albums, upload to flickr, webpage generation etc)
    give BRIDGE as the free of charge picture organizer to PS Elements and to PS CS
    change LIGHTROOM into an payable upgrade of BRIDGE with enhanced functionality of the free of charge BRIDGE, (which can work as a stand-alone software as it does today
    better integration of PSE, PS CS into Bridge/Lightroom (e.g. Panaorama function opens only PS CS but the version of PSE works much better, so I want to choose in the menu of Bridge/Lightroom)
    I am really struggling with the three of them.
    Beside that I suggest to get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom with it's import/export and synchronization needs and instead use or at least integrate the idea of BRIDGE to get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders, as this is anyhow how the way pictures are stored already for most of us... I asume. I doubt that anybody just throw all files into one big subdirectory and get the organized into cataloges. But please keep collections as they are helpful to quickly collect some pictures to commonly work on them. by drag & drop. The Catalogues of LR drives me crazy but LR have a lot of nice functions (e.g. Webupload interfaces to flickr and others, nice noice reduction, nice albums and webpage functions, etc.)
    Thanks
    Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year
    Georg
    PS: Please all of you comment your experience and opinion on this matter ... I am interested what you think about it.

    Hi George,
    Whereas Bridge and Photoshop Elements (and most non-LR users) base their organisation on the file / folder structure, Lightroom uses files / folders simply for storage - the catalog is used for organisation. This 'catalog based approach' provides far more flexibility, both in organisation, and in recording a complete, fully-reversible record of all edits made to each photograph.
    To suggest that Adobe "get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom" and "get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders" would remove almost ALL advantages Lightroom has over Bridge & PS Elements combined. To fully appreciate Lightroom, you need to appreciate that files and folders are not the only way to organise photos. Why not watch a few of the Adobe Lightroom Tutorial videos? This link below takes you to a video explaining about the Catalog;
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
    However, if you really want Adobe to hear your views, why not raise a Feature request with them, at this link below;
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    I'm sure if you call your feature request 'Remove Catalog from Lightroom, and organise by Folders instead', it'll get noticed, as will any forum posts of the same name...
    Cheers,
    Alan

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer and Bridge

    Our small company has several Windows versions of Photoshop Elements 3.0 of which is primarily used for the Organizer to organize a collection of client images (all nicely tagged), however, the tags are incompatible with our Mac version of Photoshop CS3's Bridge (as such, the Mac is lagging behind the Windows-based organisation of Organizer, which is being prodiminantly populated by Organizer users).
    We hoped the new Mac Photoshop Elements 8 would finally get around to shipping with the Organizer, but as it still doesn't, we wondered if it is was possible to install Bridge on the Windows machines in place of the Organizer? and could we import all our current Organizer settings?
    Apaprently Bridge will work on a machine so long as other Adobe software is installed, which is fine for our Elements machines, but where can we download it?
    Some help on this would be much appreciated.

    I'm not sure you really understand the difference between Bridge and Organizer, which may or may not matter one way or the other. Bridge is a browser, not an asset management program, so it doesn't have a catalog. It just shows the files in the folder to which you point it. There are no version sets or albums in bridge, although you can make collections. The only way to get  your current collections out of organizer would be to make tags for them and write them to the files, then reassemble the collections in bridge by keyword searching.
    The upside to a program like bridge is that it doesn't care where or how you move your files around. You can do whatever you want when bridge isn't running and it won't complain that it can't find things anymore.

  • How to migrate Photoshop Elements Organizer to Bridge

    Can anyone point me to a resource or give instruction to guide me on how to migrate my PSE Organizer catalog into Bridge CC?

    Please find my comments inline with the question:
    1) Can this be done? : Yes this can definately be done. To do this you need to take backup on Mac and restore on Mac. This will ensure all media,tag,album and their association remaining intact. For details on how to, please refer: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS3d021fd412237a2f14afb0171392eec10c6- 7ffe.html
    2). For sync with Revel: Elements Organizer11, provides you to import/export media to/fro Revel client (on both Win and Mac). I would suggest to downaload a trial version and see for yourself if it suits your purpose.
    Please let me know if you need more info on it.

  • Elements 11 and Bridge

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 and Bridge CS4 happily with my Nikon d40x Camera.  I imported the photos into a folder and opened them with Bridge in camera raw, rated them with stars, and used Photoshop Elements 8 for editing.  My camera broke, and I purchased a new Nikon 5200.  After checking to see what version of camera raw was required for that camera, and confirming its compatibilit, I saw that I couldln't get camera raw 7.4 (I think) for Photoshop Elements 8. So I purchased photoshop elements 11) and installed the latest version of camera raw.  Now when I open the photos in Bridge CS4, I don't see the images. I just see icons with the NEF extension.  I would be happy to update the Bridge CS4, but that doesn't seem to be an option without purchasing Photoshop, which for me (an old lady with a fixed income) is prohibitively expensive.  How can I see my images in Bridge CS4, rate them, and edit them using  the new Photoshop Elements 11 and my new camera?

    You can open and edit the camera raw in photoshop elements :

  • Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

    Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

    The tutorial courses that got me going were on lynda.com.   Both the PE and PrE courses are taught by instructors that know the software and how to teach on line. 
    The difference between random turtorials and a course is organization.  A course has a beginning, or foundation and builds skills one at a time.  Random tutorials like on Adobe TV or YouTube can be very good but they don't have the sequential skill building process.
    Many of the Adobe TV tutorials are chapters provided by lynda.com as part of their marketing program.  If you like them, you can pay the $25 a month for the full course work.     

  • IPhoto with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and Adobe Bridge

    I have not used iPhoto before now as I have been downloading photos from my Canon and Nikon cameras using their software. I have now moved everything into iPhoto but cannot find iPhoto using Adobe Bridge so I am unable to do any editing using Elements 4. Previously I could find the Canon and Nikon photos using Adobe Bridge. With a simple click on the relevant photo it opened up in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and I was able to edit it. Now using Bridge I simply cannot find iPhoto thus I cannot use PSE4. Can someone help before I go crazy ? I havde called Apple support but they have been unable to help me and suggested using Discussions@Apple

    Many thanks for your quick response although, as a new iMac user, the mere mention of the word "corrupt" scares me ! I previously used a PC with Windows XP and PSE3 and loved being able to sort all my photos into albums with PSE3. Unfortunately the PSE4 which I have installed on my iMac doesn't let users sort their photos into albums and the only alternative is Adobe Bridge. I only recently started to use iPhoto after a visit to an Apple Store and it's great being able to catalog my photos so easily. Unfortunately PSE is far and away superior to any editing software that iPhoto has to offer. Anyway, I'll cross my fingers and try your suggestion first thing tomorrow morning.

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

  • Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it

    Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it?

    Googled for an instruction sheet.  Got the following.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html
    and
    https;//helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-installation-errors.html
    (Don't know why the second one didn't turn into a link, that's the url that printed out at the bottom of the page)
    In any case it doesn't matter.  I returned it to the store where I bought it.
    Rule #1; Don't use a product if the people who produce that product (software, hardware, etc.) don't properly support it.
    User forums and\or chat lines, are useful and may help.  But!  They do not constitute proper support (not for installation purposes anyway).
