Busy wheel in organizer and editor

I am running PSE 13 and am having a problem that the coloured busy wheel seems to take forever between tasks. I am shooting in raw, select a photo in organizer, convert to editor so I can process the raw file, then convert fro a jpeg for a photo book. It takes forever to go through this process compared to the time when I was using PSE 11 for the same tasks. Am I doing something wrong or is this new PSE 13 just plain slow. I am on a OS X version 10.8.5 on a MAC.

I would first try deleting the prefs: Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version > Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version > Settings
com.adobe.Elements Organizer. < version >.plist
com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer< version>.plist
That library is hidden. To see it, option-click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there, go to the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE.

How do I make Organizer and Editor open at the same time?

I'm new to PSE 10 and want to know how to make Organizer and Editor open at the same time. I can get the Organizer up, but have to pick out a photo and click on Fix: Full Photo Edit to get Editor to open. Is that the only way to do it?
Thanks,
K

Create Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor:
The Editor's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The Organizer's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor at one time. I receive the error message, "Unable to Import Files", which says "You exceeded number of files that can be selecteed and imported at once...." What is the number? Secondly is there a way around this for either the Organizer or Editor to work on thousands of photos at the same time?
Thanks

I have never heard of this particular limit before.
Please understand, this appears to be the limit you can import into the Organizer at one time -- you can have as many photos as you want in the Organizer; but apparently you have to import in batches rather than all at once.
I don't think it applies to the editor; and I can't imagine wanting to have more then a few files in the editor at any one time ... even if you could open 2000 photos in the editor at once, what sense would that make?

Contrast mismatch between Organizer and Editor

I can edit an image in Editor to where it looks great, to include the contrast, brightness, shadows, etc. When I send it back to the Organizer, it look much too contrasty and dark. When I use the same images in a slideshow originating in Organizer, they still look too contrasty. Is there a way to correct this? I'm using PSE 10 on a Windows 7 -64 bit machine. Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks for your quick response. I just checked out the settings in both the Editor and Organizer and they're both set on "let me decide". I'm not sure what to do on that one. I could go with optimizing the computer screen with sRGB, or the Adobe RGB for the printer, or no management, or decide on the fly. If I go with the computer, I guess I'd have to change it when I print a photo out, and vice versa. Have any suggestions for me? Thanks again.
New update. I have a Dell color laser printer, and I just checked the manual. It offers both sRGB and AdobeRGB. My priority is really to have a good printout. If I check sRGB I should be safe for either print or computer, but I'm wondering if I'd get as good a printout with sRGB as with AdobeRGB. The easiest might be to see what the printer is curently set on, and then set PSE Organizer and Editor to match it. I'll do that, and then see if that helps the mismatch between Organizer and Editor.

Elements Organizer and Editor Fonts Too Small

Is Adobe ever going to fix this problem of the fonts not adjusting their size in both the organizer and the editor? The only option to alter the font seems to be to switch to a "System Font", but that option doesn't work. It doesn't change the font size at all, even if you turn off Aero and set the system font to 125%, the menu fonts don't change. In short, the software is not Windows compliant, afte how many years that Adobe has been making a windows version of this ptogram?
The default font size can't be read more than a foot or so away from the screen on today's pretty much standard 22" 1680x1050 LCD display. On top of that, who in their right mind thinks black text on a gray backgound effects 'contrast' rather than 'blend'?
I've searched the internet regarding this problem, and it seems to have persisted through multiple versions of this software, but has gotten worse through versions 7, 8 and 9 based on user numerous posts. Actually, it looks like Adobe just doesn't plan on addressing the problem at all.
Does anyone even get a response from Adobe when they post about this font issue? It doesn't look like it, as far as I can see.

That seems to be a reasonable explanation. Since a thumbnail does not have as much information as the actual file, it shouldn't be surprising that visual difference exist. I just wasn't expecting them to be quite so noticeable.

APP CRASH in 7.0 upon Opening Organizer and Editor - Vista - Help!

When I open my Photoshop Elements 7.0 Organizer, the pictures load and then I get a message that the program is closing due to APP CRASH.
Any ideas why this may be happening? Is there a limit on the number of photos in a catalog? I can't imagine that I am over the limit on this. We have gone through several troubleshooting recommendations including reinstalling the program and it is still crashing upon opening. Now the Editor is crashing too! Any ideas? Thanks!

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Organizer might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are troubleshooting steps to try:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Organiz er_crashes
Given that both the Organizer and the Editor are crashing, start with step 4, installing the licensing-service update, and if that doesn't help, try the others. Even if you think you've tried something similar, repeat the step exactly as described.

Kind of broken communication between Organizer and Editor PSE 9

Hi,
Today I when I opened my PSE 9 Organizer to select and edit some photots uploaded yesterday, when I selecrt3ed the photos and clicked Fix>Full Photo Edit menu, the Editor opened fine, BUT no photo appeared on the Editor as always. This is the first time this happens and I have been working for more than a year with PSE9 without any problems.
Now, in order to edit the selected photos on the organizer, once the Editor opens (showing no photo) i have to open the Editor´s Project Bin at the bottom and then select "show files selected in the organizer" and there they are, but this didn´t happened before.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks a lot Barbara,
Maybe I did not explain myself very well, but what I have been doing for a long time, was selecting one ...or several pictures for editing from within the organizer, and after the Editor opened, there was always a picture on the body of the Editor, ready to be edited, but NOT so anymore since today in the morning. It is not a big deal, because as I explained on my first post, now I have to look for the pictures in the Editor´s project bin and select the one I like to edit, but it is odd that this just happened today after almost two years of being working the other way.
Is there some way to repair the installation of PSE9?

How can I get the color and contrast on photos to appear the same in Organizer and Editor?

In PSE 10 (Windows 7), When I edit photos in the Editor and get them the way I want them, they appear considerably different when I send them back to the Organizer, both in color and contrast. Since I print from the Organizer, they appear in print as they are in the Oganizer, and it's not what I had in the Editor. I set the color the same in both Editor and Organizer from the Edit menu, but I still have the problem. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Elements saves files but organizer and editor loose them

Running Elements 12 on Win 7. I download files from SD card from camera to a subdirectory and they seem to get copied to two places at once. When I work with the files, they open from one of those places but edits save to the other and are not opened again. So, edits seem to disappear. I am unable to load them again without doubling them up in the catalogue.
I assume this is an error in the download (copying process but it is not obvious to me.
I have checked other files downloaded years ago into one folder and I am seeing the same error. I edit a file, save it, and close it and organizer doesn't know where it is. If I open the same file in editor, edit it again, and save it, editor knows this is the second edit, saves it, and organizer again does not find it. Even though checking shows it is saved to the same directory.

In that same window there should be a series of buttons where you choose to see PSE options, PRE options or both.
EDIT However, I doubt you can make this work. Hardly anybody would do it this way, so it's not surprising that PSE isn't set up for it, but FWIW, it's also a problem with things like certain versions of PS with particular versions of organizer.

PSE 10 both Organizer and Editor crash on multi-core hardware; set affinity to single cpu mode fixes

As I have noted in thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/941128 I have found that both the editor and the organizer for PSE 10 crash in a multi core environment, I am running WIndows 64 bit, latest updates (includes sp1), I had the same problems with Windows 7 32 bit.
Solution is to set the affinity to a single cpu. From the task manager, select the 'processes' tab, find the exe (eg PhotoshopElementsOrganizer), right-click, select 'Set affinity...' and reduce the number of CPUs selected (checked) to exactly one. (Under different versions of Windows the exact means for doing this varies, but the essential steps are the same). It doesn't matter which cpu you select, but if you do both the Editor and the Organizer, put them on different CPUs.
Given that pretty well all hardware these days is multi-core, my assumption is that Adobe test in a virtualized environment and so do not discover this type of unreliabillity. Adobe really do need to test their software more thoroughly as the exact same problem existed in PSE 6, so it is hardly new to them.

The solution is in the above.
Should Adobe read this, they should take note that a virtualized environment does not provide a decent fidelity emulation of multi-core CPU systems. The ONLY way to test the reliability of an application is on REAL hardware.

Photo Organizer and Editor

I'm looking to go away from some of the free editors and organizers, but finding the solution that is best for me is challenging. For a basic photo / video editor and organization what product would statisfy my needs? I have probably a few thousand photos but also need a way to categorize and organzie them. Any suggestions and direction would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor is now available on Mac App Store to download. It is Editor only and does not have Organizer similar to PSE 10 Editor on Mac App Store.

Elements Organizer and Editor Image Differences?

I've noticed that the images displayed by Photoshop Elements Organizer are noticeable different from the display of the same image file by the Elements Editor. Why does this happen and is there a way to correct one or the other displays. Generally, the Organizer image appears to have more color saturation than when the image is viewed in the Editor. As a side note, the same image displayed in the Photoshop CS5 Editor appears to look about the same as it does in the Elements Editor.
Other information: I have a Windows 7 64-bit system with dual calibrated monitors. It does not matter which image appears on which monitor -- the PSE Organizer image always has greater color saturation.

That seems to be a reasonable explanation. Since a thumbnail does not have as much information as the actual file, it shouldn't be surprising that visual difference exist. I just wasn't expecting them to be quite so noticeable.

No interaction between organizer and editor

When my students select fotos in there catalogue and choose any action (f.e. photomerge or quick editing...), nothing happens only the editor starts but it shows no foto's.

Hi Ken
It's PSE10 on Windows8. The very strange thing is that on my PC (teacher login) every thing works fine but on the studentpc it doesn't. I didn't try to login with another login, but tomorrow i will.
PS: Nothing starting from the Organizer works. Even if the only select some pics in the organizer they can't see it in the Editor. R-click won't do it either...

Elements 11 Organizer and Editor not working together (Mac)

Is there a way to get the organizer that comes with Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (Mac) with Photoshop Elements 11 Editor (Mac)?
I previously downloaded Elements 11 Editor from Mac iTunes Store, this version does not come with Organizer. I then found I had a copy of organizer with Premiere Elements 11. After install I can use both products fine, but cannot use edior to edit my photos from the Organizer. The message "the feature you selected requires adobe photoshop elements" appears.
Does anybody know how this can be resolved (if it is possible?)

In that same window there should be a series of buttons where you choose to see PSE options, PRE options or both.
EDIT However, I doubt you can make this work. Hardly anybody would do it this way, so it's not surprising that PSE isn't set up for it, but FWIW, it's also a problem with things like certain versions of PS with particular versions of organizer.

Situation / Assumptions: Hardware: ASUS K70 Laptop ABseries. OS: Windows 7 Home Premium. Software: Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Purchased CD version. (Consists of two parts; Organizer and Editor). Installed the end of 20

Ik kan Editor niet meer openen. Elements 12 staat op mijn harddisk vanaf een gekochte CD, heeft ruim een jaar goed gewerkt, maar wil nu niet meer starten. Ook niet nadat ik opnieuw heb geïnstalleerd vanaf de originele CD. Wie kent dit probleem en kan mij helepen de Editor weer werkend te krijgen?
