Captions embedded in PSE 8 organiser photos

Captions embedded in PSE 8 organsier photos using the 'write key word and tag and properties into photo' are not visible in Windows Photo Viewer. How do I have Captions visible regardless of which Photo app I am viewing my Albums in?

I don’t think the photo viewer is designed to display captions. Windows Live Photo Gallery does have support for captions. However, the embedded captions will show up in the folder details but you may have to enable columns for Title or Subject.
You can start an impromptu slideshow with captions by selecting a thumbnail in organizer, or in an album, and hitting the F11 key. You can also pause the show and then manually move forwards and backwards using the right and left arrow keys.

PSE 12 organiser uses wrong folders

PSE 12 organiser doesn't remember photos after import from whatever source (for example, pics are imported from e:\test\pics, but the organiser shows them as imported from f:\test\pics), and this is trying to locate pictures (link again) with no success.
This even happens when everything is freshly installed, and pics are shown correctly - after saving the catalogue pictures cannot be found.
Any ideas?
Thank you

One typical situation when you may see the location in the catalog pointing to another drive letter (Windows) is if you are using different external drives or USB thumb drives. This is the reason why it is highly recommended to always assign the same letter drive to any external drive; it's best to start with letters like M, N, P, Q... rather than E, F, G, H... If you have assigned the letter E, then you have another drive plugged in, the last one will be assigned E, and if you plug-in the previous drive, Windows will recognize it as F.
The organizer saves the drive identification with both the drive letter and the drive serial number, but that does not always help to correctly identify the drive. For instance, if you have a cloned external drive, there are situations where two drives have the same serial number.

PSE 11 Organiser won't open

After a bit of a struggle with the installation of PSE11(via trial then entering authentication) , then successfully downloading photos, I now find PSE 11 Organiser doesn't open. After the fraught install, this new problem is a new hurdle.
Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, please can someone give me some simple instructions to rectify?
Thanks, Alison.

Try these solutions to see if any of these work.
If none of them works, let me know.
Solution1:
Close Elements. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file. Click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution2:
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution3:
In case that does not work too, you may try this.
Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.

PSE 11 Organiser - Top of Organiser Disappeared

I have lost the top of my PSE 11 organiser screen. I run a Mac with an external monitor. I can no longer see the resizing buttons (red, amber, green) top left, along with the folders, import option button, tag, info button etc. Its a nightmare. I have read a lot of the help forum stuff and tried different screen resolutions on my macbook pro and external monitor, nothing helps. I have rebooted several times with and without external monitor attached and nothing changes. I am pulling my hair out as I have loads of photos to process. This couldn't have happened at a worse time.
Here is a screen shot of what I currently get. I am running OS X 10.9.2.
Can someone please help?
Many thanks,
Lynn

Hi Barbara,
How do I reply to you in the thread?
I have done as you suggested by altering screen resolution to largest print and smallest several times and done it on the macbook and with the external screen attached. The top of the screen is not jumping at all. I.e. No change and I have tried it about 20 times.

PSE 10 Organiser/Editor

I have recently upgraded from 8 to 10.
I have imported a set of photos from an SD card. They all appear in the organiser. I select one of the photos and go into the editor. After editting I save the photo and quit the editor.
The photo shown when I return to the organiser is the first one that I imported from the SD card and not the one I have just editted.
This is not a problem unless I have imported a lot of photos. I have to scroll tghrough all the pictures to get back to the one I have just editted.
In PSE 8 the photo shown when I reverted to the organiser was the one I had just editted.
Is there a setting I need to change ?
Peter

Click on the menu bar Edit à Preferences à Saving Files
Then adjust your settings if necessary. On first save you can choose to automatically overwrite the open file.
If you are saving an edit to a version set you may need to expand the thumbnail view to see the most recently edited copy.

How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE? (PSE 4)

One of my dad’s retirement passions is family genealogy and old family pictures. Several years ago I gave my family PSE 4.0 for Christmas so that we could each have backup copies of our dad’s pictures. Usually once per year, I made backup copies of everything and emailed the DVDs to my brothers and sisters. Everyone knows the basic PSE 4 functions and share our dad's enjoyment with the old family photos.
My problem is that my dad is running out of pictures to scan. He wants to “share” or “show” his photos with others so that he can “borrow” their photo albums in order to scan their photos. He plans to attend a hometown high school reunion later this fall. He hopes to "collect" photo albums from cousins and classmates. I have been struggling with this for several days without any good ideas.
The scanned pictures lack any text (added as a layer?) or captions. Creating a slideshow (on my dad’s computer is slow). Also, a slideshow doesn’t let others select individual pictures to save from the slide show
He has old pictures pre-PSE 4 that allowed him to add captions directly to the picture when it was scanned. I never liked this approach as it "destroyed" the actual picture but these old pictures are more easily shared as individual pictures.
How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE? Can you save or export a composite picture with all the layers?
Thanks in advance for your help and replies.

I think it is one of the printer option screens that gives me the choice of tabbed 4x6. All of the choices specifiy HP or Other so I am pretty sure it is printer software that offers me this choice.
Make sure your image has a 4x6 aspect ratio. I have been quite happy with the tabbed 4x6. Just need to remember to load the paper with the tab last.
So, in elements you set to 4x6, in printer options you should be able to choose 4x6 tabbed paper.

Sharing keywords between LR and PSE 9 Organiser? :-(

OK, I've owned 3 photo products from Adobe (Photoshop Album, Lightroom and Photoshop Essentials) and have 3 keyword file formats! I use LR as my main photo organiser and have started using PSE and its Organiser but am frustrated by the lack of coherent design of keyword files. I have hundreds of keywords in LR. I had to write some Python code to convert my "Album" keywords to the LR format and it seems I have to do the same to get keywords from LR into PSE's organiser. But there's now a new problem...
Unfortunately when I import keywords into PSE's Organiser any duplication of existing keywords results in duplication in the keyword list - i.e. when I add "From file.." PSE adds to the list rather than merging! PSE is clearly not designed to re-load keywords from file any extend the keywords. If I export all my keywords and re-import them I don't expect the number of keywords to double! Oh - I can;t delete keywords before importing because I'm told everything it's 'learned' (people etc. will be lost). Keywords appear to be exportable but not importable.
I clearly cannot import keywords into PSE's organiser as I can with LR.
Is anyone sharing keywords between LR and PSE's Organiser?

Thanks, I can see how that can work and the problems. It looks like the keywords themselves cannot be easily shared and I agree that having two organising programs is problematic but I wanted to 'export' the keywords I have created including their structure from Lightroom and import them into PSE organiser. You'd think you could do this with two similar products from the same company. The organisers in question are used for two purposes and the photos in each are different - i.e. I use lightroom for my pro stuff and PSE for family/casual stuff and no photo would be present in both. It looks like PSE really isn't designed to import keywords. I have Python code to create a PSE keyword file from a lightroom file so that will have to do as it's clear there's no interoperability.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Want to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it will only start in Orgaizer, can't get to welcome screen and the .exe file that Adobe said to look for does not exist on my files

Have tried to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it continues to start in Organizer. I do not want my pictures loaded in Organizer at all. Saw a page on the web that said to click on an .exe editor file but that is not on my files. Also cannot get a welcome screen to come up, only an organizer even though I checked it the first time to come up in photo editor. I'm now having Organizer crammed down my throat. Tried online chat but was cut off with the statement that no support is offered for v12 any longer.

Hi,
You failed to say which operating system you are running on so I'm assuming it is Windows of some type.
You should be able to find the following files, using explorer, depending on your system.
64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Double clicking on that should start the editor - suggest to create a shortcut to it.
If you can't find one of those files, then you either installed it somewhere else or you need to re-install elements.

Best Structure for Organising Photos - iPhoto wouldn't do it, can Aperture?

Hi,
I was wondering if Aperture would let me organise photos in this way:
I have 'groupings' of files of pictures. For example 20 or so files containing university pictures inside a folder called 'university'. I then have 10 or so files containing pictures of the family inside a folder called 'family'.
What I would like to do is view the top folder (university or family) with a thumbnail, then go into it and view the subsequent folders as thumbnails, and then go into one of those and view all of the pictures as usual.
The problem is, if the 2nd level folders are all projects, I can't view them inside their respective 'top level' folder. Aperture (as iPhoto) appears to only let me view all 'projects' or all 'pictures'.
I tried having albums inside projects in the hope that clicking on the project would show thumbnails for each album but still with no luck.
I've had a look at the Aperture guide but this has proven unfruitful also.
Can anyone tell me if Aperture can do this and maybe if so, how it would do this because I'm at a loss?
Many thanks!!

Short answer is no. Neithr application is a folder-based "nesting" system.
They are databases.
Aperture is superior to iPhoto because you can have folders and within those you can have projects, and within those (or alongside in the folder as well) you can have albums, so it will work for you that far. It sounds like you've taken it that far at least.
The option to view as thumbnails is not available because of the skimming feature. All projects are displayed in such a way that all photos are visible, but the "top" photo is the representative key photo. That's similar to what you want to do, at least from a user interface POV, but it's a default behaviour, so the manner in which you want it to work is not how it can ever work. You cannot "nest" using key photos representing sub-folders.
Databases require you to organize your content along more rigid forms than file/older structures. Databases can handle a far larger volume of data and organize it with speed and efficiency as a result. You'll either have to change your system or use a non-Apple product.

Pse 11 organiser view screen background colour

Am I able to change the background colour of the view screen in PSE 11 organiser? The current background is grey, which isn't a great colour to optimise viewing images. Black would be better.

You can only do it in the Editor within a tab or floating window. Right click on any gray area surrounding an open image.

Organising photos

What is the best practice for organising photos?
I notice that only the images in the image folder show in the
assets panel.
Should all the images on the site be in images folder, or
should I make other folders outside the image folder for my photo
albums?
I plan to make albums using Fireworks.

Although I have an iMAC, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements, which came bundled with my scanner. In it, you can customize whatever layout you wish fairly easily.

I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo Edit In Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?

You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements.

How to open PSE 8.0 photos in 10.0?

I use PSE 8.0 and have 10.0. New SD card photos are available on both, but, I don't know how to get the photos to show in 10.0 that I use easily on 8.0. I want to keep both 8 and 10, but, do not want to risk losing any photos in the process.

Just an update. Removed the 10.0 and reloaded. Stuck at 34% on convert. I
went away for about an hour and coversion had occurred properly and works
fine. Now--My speculative analysis. Possibly the computer could only process
34% due to the large number of photos and if it took 20 plus minutes for
the first 34% to convert before freezing then the NEXT 34% would take 20
plus minutes and I had only been waiting around ten minutes for something to
happen. So, being at supper may have allowed the additional loadings to
occur. Thanks again for all your indulgence and help.
