Can't find Organizer on Photoshop elements 8
I bought Photo Elements and installed it last Spring. I sort of blundered around with it and managed to finish a project I needed to do, but it was very difficult, so I finally broke down and bought the book that teaches how to use it. The first thing the book talks about is to click Organizer on the Welcome screen. There is no Organizer on my welcome screen and the picture of the welcome screen in the book does not look like my welcome screen. My welcome screen has a smiling girl and says nothing about either Organize or Edit.
Can anyone tell me what's going on, here and How I can find organizer?
If you have a mac, there is no organizer. You got adobe bridge instead.

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?
The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety . -
I can not get my Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 organize to open. The edit option comes up with no problem, but will crash when I try to access organize. What should I do to fix this problem?
Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key. Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
Good luck,

What can I do when in Photoshop Elements (version 11) the organizer does not start up??
!@@
Yes, thanks a lot. I understand now.
I now am able to open the old catalog again!! I tried now several times with the new shortcut.
Thank you very much indeed for ALL YOUR EFFORT and patients with me.
You suggest now I should click on the repair button. When I do so, the catalog will be overwritten, or I can choose not to overwrite and than the catalog will be twice as big. So I decided not to click on the repair button. When I see afterwards that some functions do not work anymore, I allways can use the repair button. As far as I can see now nothing is lost.. )
As far as I understood it is only possible to repair with a backup. Happily I made that allways, but I am afraid to use it, for the reason above.
When I have more time to spare, I will look for all the foto's from the apps of my cellphone and delete them.
Now I can finish my fotowork, what I had started before, and make Photoshop Elements again the main fotoprogram on my desktop.
Thank you again! Trees

Can I store photos in Photoshop Elements Editor?
I have OSX Lion 10.7. Before spending $80 on Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Apple App Store, I have a couple of questions...
1. Can I download photos from my camera directly to Photoshop Elements, or must thry go to iPhoto first?
2. After I process photos using PSE Editor, can I store them in Photoshop Elements, or must they be stored in iPhoto?
Thanks for your help.........Elements editor is an editor, not a storage program. Even the full version of PSE that you buy elsewhere than the app store does not store your photos. The organizer program that comes with that is merely a database of the photos you store elsewhere.
You don't have to use iphoto if you don't want to. If you want an image manager there are several others to choose from (aperture, lightroom, etc), or you can just use folders if you prefer that method.
In any case, all the Elements Editor does is edit, not store. -

I can't find where to download elements premier 11 onto my new computer?

Let us put together some information which will be helpful to getting the customized answer for you that will work.
1. Have you purchased Premiere Elements 11 and/or 12 and do you have a purchased serial number for either?
What computer operating systems are involved - old and new?
2. If you purchased an online download of either product from Adobe, you should be able to download these files from
Adobe http://www.adobe.com in the My Orders section there once you Sign In. You can also get help from Adobe via Adobe Chat by clicking on the following link, and, when it opens, clicking on the statement "Still need help? Contact us." to discuss Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges.
Contact Customer Care
If you did not purchase any of the installation files from Adobe, then this should not help.
3. If you have purchased serial number but cannot file installation files or disc anywhere, you can download and install installation files for Premiere Elements 9, 10, 11, and 12 from the following web site. They are tryouts into which you can insert your purchased serial number and then make that your working program.
This is the link to the Premiere Elements 11 tryouts
Photoshop Elements 11 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
This is the link to the Premiere Elements 12 tryouts
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
With either of them, you have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions and follow them carefully otherwise you will end up with an Access Denied message.
Please let us know if any of the above helped. If not, please supply more details for us to help you.
Thank you.

The organizer of Photoshop Elements 8 - Problem of sequence of dates
Bonjour,
I have a problem with the organizer of Photoshop Elements 8, especially with the sequence of the pictures in the catalog.
My understanding is that the sequence of the pictures depends of the Exifs dates.
Problem in my catalog: It takes generally the date taken, but sometimes the date digitized even if the date taken is available. I have used Exifer to check the dates but also PhotoMe and Exif Manager.
Thanks in advance for a solution.The problem with 2002-12-25_F1030011.jpg is that it contains an invalid date/time in the XMP:DateTimeOriginal field of its metadata:
Date/Time Original: 2002:12:25 08:29:00
The XMP metadata specification requires that a time zone be specified, e.g.
Date/Time Original: 2002:12:25 08:29:00+01:00
Evidently, when PSE doesn't find a valid XMP:DateTimeOriginal field, it then uses the EXIF:CreateDate field, "2008:04:10 14:59:08".
I believe that Microsoft Pro Photo Tools wrote the invalid value in XMP:DateTimeOriginal. It's shown as the last software to have modified the XMP section:
---- XMP ----
About : uuid:faf5bdd5-ba3d-11da-ad31-d33d75182f1b
Date/Time Original : 2002:12:25 08:29:00
Date/Time Modified : 2002:12:25 08:29:00
Software : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
Software : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
Creator Tool : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
Creatortool : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
I verified that my Pro Photo Tools incorrectly writes dates/times without a time zone.
You could fix this with the free Exiftool by doing:
exiftool -xmp:datetimeoriginal= 2002-12-25_F1030011.jpg
This deletes the XMP:DateTimeOriginal field, causing PSE to use the EXIF:DateTimeOriginal field, which is also present in the file. You could run exiftool on all your photos that might be affected via:
exiftool -xmp:datetimeoriginal= -r c:\users\you\pictures
Then select the corresponding thumbnails in the Organizer and do Edit > Update Thumbnail to cause PSE to re-read the metadata. Note that Exiftool will make copies before modifying files, adding _original to the name of the copies. -

I am using a Mac and just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?
No the pages will open as separate documents in Expert Mode. You really need Acrobat or possibly you could copy and paste the contents into MS word. Then re-save as PDF.

"Adobe Photoshop CS6" will be listed, probably at the top.
Hover your mouse over the words Adobe Photoshop CS6 - the location will be displayed.
To open the folder containing Photoshop.exe , with your secondary mouse button, click on "Adobe Photoshop CS6" and select "Open file location". -
