Best way to organize several versions of Photoshop Elements to conserve disk space?

I have Elements 9, 11, and now Version 12. I am wondering if I should import into Version 12's Organizer all of my previous photo files, then delete or uninstall the older versions of PhotoShop Elements?
Currently running Windows 7 - 64 bit with latest SP installed. I would like to try and keep the hard disk storage fairly lean, and can't help but wonder about the space that is being taken up by having all of these versions of Elements installed! Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your replies and insights!

Thank you so much for your input! I sometimes feel that I must be increditable stupid as I try to get BOTH organized but also learn how to use all of the features found in Photoshop Elements. Part of the reason that I say this, is because I have always been pressed for time, so I try & do one most pressing thing, that usually doesn't turn out quite like it was described it would or could be, and then I'm off to take care of more pressing issues, and don't get back to trying it after days or weeks have passed, so its kinda of like starting all over again.
Again, thanks for your reply and input!
Sincerely,

The organizer does not store your photos, only links to their locations on the hard disk. So all your different versions will be looking at the same image file, so no duplication of the photos themselves.
If you find yourself using features in 9 or 11 that were removed in later versions (e.g. interactive photomerge, magic extractor, lighting effects etc ...) I'd be inclined to leave them installed unless you are critically short of disk space.
Cheers,
Neale

Trying to reinstall old version of Photoshop Elements from a disk

Photoshop Elements disappeared from my computer and when I tried to reinstall from the disk, I am not having any luck getting it to work. I am using an older version of Elements made for Windows XP, ME, 2000, 98, NT 4.0 and OS 8.6 to 9.x. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

What operating system are you using?
Was it working before it "Disappeared"?
Sounds like photoshop elements 1 (one)?
What happens when you try to install it?
Your sure photoshop elements is really gone?
Have you looked in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe
for a folder called Photoshop Elements

What is the best way to organize a tree-like structure of constants?

Hello everone!
Need help with organizing my constants structrure.
I have several tables, and each of them need a list of column names to define the fields returned after query, and also a corresponding list of hashmap keys because that columnnames are ugly. Hashmap is where I store the result of searching through the table. This question is not about JDBC because I search through tables via COM interface, no JDBC ResultSets and other stuff here.
Finally, for each table I have two constant lists and I have a list of tables. What is the best way to store this?
My first idea was to create a enum and store column data in it as String array attributes: String[] columnNames; etc.
But in this case I cannot use each column and key separately.
Another option is to create two separate enums for each table: columnNames enum and keys enum. That doesn't look great also.
The third option is to create inner class for each table and store two enums in each of that classes.
Also I can store all data in hashmaps, Strings etc.
(1) Finally, from your experience, what is the best way to organize all that stuff?
(2) I have heard that smart Java programmer should avoid using the enums by any means. Do you agree?
(3) Generally what will you prefer when creating a constant which has two values: two final Integers or enum?
Edited by: Dmitry_MSK on Jul 8, 2010 5:22 AM

I'm not sure why you don't just invent a generic data structure (e.g., table name, list of column names and aliases of column names) such as:
class QueryMetaData {
private final String tableName;
private final String[] columnNames;
private final String[] columnAliases;
}Read into the above structure from a properties file, database table, etc. You can store meta-data itself in places other than enum constants, particularly if would like to change the meta-data without requiring a new build of your application.
That having been said, WRT to your specific questions:
(1) Finally, from your experience, what is the best way to organize all that stuff?See above
(2) I have heard that smart Java programmer should avoid using the enums by any means. Do you agree?Enums are better than simple constants using int or String or something similar. If there are known, discrete values unlikely to change frequently, I see no issues with an enum. They improve the readability of code, and there are enough syntactic sugar features in the language (switch statements come to mind) to make them appealing.

See above. Enums were introduced (in large part) to do away with storing constants as integers.

Best way to organize a large photo library on a 10.6.8 Macbook?

I have an older Macbook pro- version 10.6.8.
I am looking for the best way to organize my large library of photos (approx. 15,000). I have both personal as well as professional photos that I would like to organize and keep separately. I currently use iPhoto'09 version 8.1.2 but it has become very slow and I would like to find a solution that uses better organization. I am considering keeping my personal photos in iPhoto and my professional photos in another organization app. I was thinking about purchasing Aperture, however it is only available for Mac OS X version 10.7.5 or later and the same goes for the latest version of iPhoto.
I am a little confused about what my options are. Can anyone recommend anything? I am looking simply for a good organization tool, I am not interested in photo editing or anything beyond that.

Well now we know that the speed problem is in your old library. Repair it.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Backing Up:
Time machine will back up, yes. Just be sure it's set up correctly.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

What is the best way to organize queue in R/3?

Hi,
I'm in a middle of a project, where I should implement queue in order to sync data between 2 systems - r/3 and legasy one. I have few user exits (or bussiness events), which could be rised concurently in time, and I need only 1 instance of the sync module to run at a time. Well, I know the technique to prevent a program from running in multiple processes, and I have an idea how to organize a queue (my idea is to use transparent table to track actions which should be sync-ed), but there allways are some 'bottlenecks' that should be considered in such an implementation.
That's why it might be of great help if someone could share his/her knowledge on this topic or point me to the right paper/docu, if available.
I just don't want to reinvent the wheel, if possible
Many thanks in advance.

Best way to organize/implement multiple ESB services

Hi,
I am now thinking about the best way to organize and implement ESB services/flows in JDeveloper. The notions of ESB system and groups are clear to me, but this is more an classification on the server.
As far as I can discover, you can make an ESB project in Jdeveloper that contains a single diagram and deployment plan. When I look at the tutorials I always see examples that consist of a canonical flow consisting of one entry point with possible multiple exit points. For example a payment service to handle different types of payments.
I can imagine that you have different kinds of canonical esb flows in your enterprise. What is the best way to implement these flows? I prefer to keep them all in one project with a single build/deployment plan. In this way, I am not left with many esb projects for all the different flows. But, is this wise? I am also thinking to separate the flows in different projects on system or group level?
What is your opinion?
Regards,
-Tom

Hi Chris,
What I have seen in a project for one of out customers is that a single ESB is used that routes and transforms messages to a specific end-point. Colleques implemented a synchronous and asynchronous variant.
However, in my opinion you should limit the use of an ESB to the minimal. Only use an ESB when you want to hide routing rules (different payment-services) and transformation. If you don't need routing or transformation, I would prefer direct call to a service.
You mentioned that you also used the ant extension to deploy esb projects. I have problems with using the extension. Please can you look at this thread:
Dealing with changing service wsdl locations in the ESB
Maybe you can help me out!
Regards,
-Tom

Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.

What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?

What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?
Wie exportiere ich am am besten einen Schnittlinie aus Photoshop? Ich bekomme von einem Wort immer nur den ersten Buchstaben exportiert, obwohl alles gerastert auf einer Ebene liegt.
Thank you! Vielen Dank!

What are you talking about exactly?
If you need to export vector data Photoshop is not the first choice but if you have Type Layers (without faux styles), Vector Masks or Paths it is possible.
alles gerastert auf einer Ebene
does not seem to make sense in this context though.

Best Way to Organize Related Multiple Contacts

What's the Best Way to Organize Multiple Related Contacts?
It may be a Couple or a Family with common Address and Phone, but different names and birthdates.
    Then I try to put them all in one contact listing.
It may be a Large Business where you want to keep track of information about
a dozen different people's address, phone, depart, title, email etc. But It still
would be nice to be able to pull up one entry with all the business's information.
   At some point, it will be necessary, I suppose to split the info into multiple
   seperate contacts. When?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks, Jim Baranski

IMHO, not a good idea. Best to keep to one person, one card.

Separate cards for each person; one group (or smart group, which is a fancy name for a saved search) for the Large Business. It won't be quite the way you want it (there's no "one entry" with all the info), but it's close enough for rock'n'roll.

What is the best way to organize LabVIEW VIs to be used with TestStand?

I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 with TestStand 4.1.1 and I'm trying to organize the VIs to later deploy them to a production PC. So, I organized them into a LV project and built a LLB with the "Source Distribution Tool". (Destination type: LLB)
Some VIs in the LLB use the "Call Library Function" (user32.dll) to simulate keyboard events. But, when any of these VIs is called from TS, LabVIEW is suddenly terminated. When these same VIs are not in the LLB and are called from TS they do not have any problem.
Is the LLB the best way to organize VIs to be used with TestStand? If so, What could I be doing wrong?
I appreciate your help.

LabVIEW Problem.JPG ‏28 KB

Hi Ray,
I really appreciate your intention to help, but I believe I solved the problem already. However I still have some questions.
The problem was that when I built the LLB the configuration of the "Call Library Function" changed. When the LLB is built it is also created a Support Directory named "data" that contains some dependencies including a new copy of the user32.dll. The "Library name or path" field in the "Call Library Function" changed to be linked to a new Dependency Path. ( ...\data\user32.dll.)
What I did was select "Specify path on diagram" and create a path-constant ("C:\WINDOWS\system32\user32.dll"), so the "Call Library Function" will be always linked to the original user32.dll.
I still don't know why the "Call Library Function doesn't work with the user32.dll copy in the New Dependency Path. And I'm not sure if the LLB is the best way to organize VIs to be used with TestStand.
Do you know why?
Thank you,

Yes it's now available. One day the Mac organizer may get sslideshows!

Which version of Photoshop Elements is best for for my old Mac G4 iBook?

Which version of Photoshop Elements would work on my trusty old Apple Mac iBook G4 14-inch laptop?
The newest Mac version of this application, Photoshop Elements 6, requires 64 MB of VRAM but my G4 only has 32 MB. (regarding other system requirements, my G4 has 768 MB of memory and a 1.2 Ghz processor, and runs Mac OS 10.4.11.)
My plan is to go to Ebay and buy some older version of Photoshop Elements but I wanted some direction as to which older version would be best.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. My girlfriend bought Photoshop Elements 6, but her iBook G4, which is maxed out on conventional RAM, only has 32MB of video. She bought PE 6 as the Apple Store guy told her it would work on a iBook G4. He clearly did not realizing there were some iBook G4's made with 32MB and some with 64MB of video RAM. But before we break the shrink wrap on the box, which would make it unreturnable, it would be nice to know if anyone has gotten PE 6 to run on a iBook G4 with only 32MB of RAM. I'm more concerned with whether it works, than whether it is optimal. So, does anyone know if PE 6 will run on a iBook G4 with 32MB of video RAM?
