Disappearance of files from Photoshop elements

Photoshop Elements installed my legally purchased copy of Photoshop elements on my PC (about five years ago) but I did not register it immediately. Today I went to check my files and all the images have disappeared. What can I do about this. Is it because I didn't register, or is it because something has changed in the software of my computer. It is very surprising?

It has certainly nothing to do with registration. I think you have a problem with your catalog and that your picture files are still on your hard drive. Did you manage your pictures from the Organizer? Which OS and Elements version ?

    hi barbara
    thank you for your response, i appreciate it.  there's definitely nothing wrong with the mouse or trackpad, both work fine in every other application....i can also easily change size dimensions in other programs on my computer so it doesn't seem to be that either.  it seems like there is something weird going on in the way that pse and my mac are interacting with each other, just wish i knew what it was.    thank you again, wish me luck!

  • Exporting files from Photoshop Elements 12

    I'm trying to export files from Elements 12 but the export option is greyed out. Why?

    There is no export in the editor except the "export creations", because your files are not "in" the editor. You just save as. But PSE doesn't do any vector formats, so you aren't going to be able to save as EPS or .AI.

  • Missing files from photoshop elements 6

    I AM NOT ABLE TO PRINT, DURN TO CD OR TRANS TO USB SOME OF MY PICTURES IN MY ORGANIZER.  CAN NOT RECONNECT BECAUSE THERE IS NO FILE TO BE FOUND WHEN I TRY RECONNECTING.  I WAS TOLD 1ST FIND FILE I DID THAT.  2ND FIND PATH THIS I DON'T KNOW
    HOW TO DO. AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE ABLE TO RECONNECT.  IF ANYONE HAS THE ANSWER THANKS.

    Are you sure that you have not deleted files from your system ? Reconnect makes a search for these files on your sysem. If files are not available, then I dont think there is any option.
    Did you have backup of those files somewhere else _

  • How can I import files into Lightroom 3 from Photoshop elements 8?

    I just installed Lightroom 3 and bypassed the option to import my pics from Photoshop elements 8 (to see what other options were available). Lightroom advanced a page and there seems to be no way to return to the previous page, I've closed the page & reopened a few times.
    I cannot locate where PSe8 stores it's files either so that is not an option. How do I reset lightroom to import my old files? Thank you.
    I also see "upgrade files" but have no idea what this means & don't see an explanation; a simple definition would be great. Thanks again!

    Thanks Beat,  I first had to make up a name for a new group then it opened Lightroom so I could do as you suggested - sucess!

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

    Hi,
    Can you please share the logs?
    You can use the Adobe  Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • Max files in Photoshop Elements Organizer

    Hello,
    I have few questions:
    1/
    Following this thread, I am wondering what is the limit of PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8 ?? How many pictures can we insert into ONE catalog ?
    2/
    I currently have 6000 pictures that I would like to import into PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8, from Adobe PhotoShop Album V1.
    Is this possible ? I tried with the trial version, but I have an error when converting the .psa file from PhotoShop Album V1, asking me to try to consolidate or repair the file in the previous program (but it works well in PhotoShop Album V1).
    Any idea ?
    3/
    Is the trial version the same than the paid one ? I mean: if I start using the trial, inserting tags and so on, should I uninstall it when buying the full version or could I just buy a serial number and inserting it to unlock the trial ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Kamayana

    John,
    You are just MARVELOUS !!!! That's awesome: your website, the informations listed in it, the work you do here on the forum !!
    Wow !!! I will purchase this product just for your support. Can I pay you to obtain a support and pay you the software ? Lol
    You replied to all my questions !
    For 2/, I read before your FAQ (I thought it was Adobe FAQ, I did not pay attention to the URL), I tried it without success (excepted item 9/ which is not possible for me, since PhotoShop Album does not allow writing metadata to files, but maybe your small program can do it ?) ...
    But since I do not give up like that, I done the following, you might add it to your FAQ ?
    1/ I used the dichotomy method. I was sure that some files gave problems. So, my 6000 pictures have been separated into 6 albums (1000 each). Then, I run the converting tool on each one. All worked, excepted one. This one, I share into 500 pictures each. I run the tool on each one. One was OK, the other one fail. The one which fails has been separated in 250 pictures each... And so on. Until you see which pictures cause problems... In my case, it was some modified pictures (2 of them).
    Then, I eliminate this 2 pictures from my initial 6000 catalog, I do the import again, and... SUCCESS !!
    Hope it might help someone else.

  • Deleting a photo from Photoshop Elements 11 editor

    I deleted a photo from Photoshop Elements 11 organizer. How do I delete it in Photoshop Editor?

    Nothing is actually "in" the editor. It's just like most other programs you might use to open a file, not like organizer that's making a database of your photos.  Just close it there, either from the image window or tab's close button, or by pressing ctrl+W (command+W on a mac).

  • How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

    How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor.  I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
    This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

    Nothing has been converted. You first need to convince yourself of this.
    Start Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat, if you have it). Use Open from the File menu. Pick one of your PDF files. Does it open OK? If not, what happens?
    Ok, these emails. What exactly happens when trying to open them?

  • Export from Photoshop Elements 6 to Premiere Elements 8

    I prepared a slide show with The Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 and produced a DVD which has good but not excellent image quality (I chose File Setting - High 800x600). To improve the DVD image quality I installed the trial version of Premiere Elements 8. I exported the slide show to Premiere Elements 8 and have several problems.1 The image quality of the DVD produced by Premiere Elements 8 is worse than the one produced from The Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).
    2 The titles, transitions and soundtrack does not show in Premiere Elements 8.
    3 The slides sequence in Premiere Elements 8 is different then the one in the slide show in The Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).
    At one time a menu popped up asking me if I wanted to convert the Catalogue of V6. I declined because I was afraid that the V6 catalogue may be replaced and I would not be able to go back to it.
    Please help.

    Conclusion.
    My results are consistent with your problems NOT being associated with Photoshop Elements 6 slideshow being used instead a Photoshop Element 8 slideshow in the slideshow transfer to Premiere Elements 8.
    Testing. Photoshop Elements 6/Premiere Elements 8.
    First I created a slideshow in the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor. It included:
    (a) 19 jpeg photos each with pixel dimensions of 3264 x 2448 (that is not recommended pixel dimensions but was used to stress out the project if possible...these represent grossly oversized photos since the goal is DVD VIDEO with standard frame size of 720 x 480.)
    (b) I used a Wipe transition between each
    (c) I used text within the photos (included in the text was a sequential number so that I could more easily visually follow the sequence of the slideshow after it was transferred to Premiere Elements 8)
    (d) I added two audio clips as soundtrack (the first I placed from beginning to just before the last two photos to pick up on any audio out of sync as well as loss of a whole audio clip)
    (e) I used a pan and zoom effect for photos 1 and 2.
    The quality of the preview in the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor was good.
    I outputted the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor slideshow, using the Slide Show Edit Output option "Send to Premiere Elements". When I did, Premiere Elements 8 opened, I set the project preset, and it accepted the slideshow. In the Project Media area were
    (a) a folder containing all the individual components of the slideshow
    (b) the slideshow file in a video (grouped) form
    The video (grouped) form had automatically been placed on the Timeline as well.
    Everything transferred correctly. No problems. SEE IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW.
    I even burned the Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO standard from Premiere Elements 8, and the DVD-VIDEO standard played back well on my 19 in LCD Widescreen TV.
    Testing. Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8.
    I repeated the above with Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8 and the same slideshow and obtained the same results.
    IMPORTANT. Whether it was Photoshop Elements 6/Premiere Elements 8 or Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8, I had to render the Timeline in the Edit Mode in order to get the best possible preview so that I could determine/confirm what was on the Premiere Elements Timeline. And, rendering the Timeline as described with all those oversized photos took several hours.
    This is what I need to know:
    1. How many photos did you use in the slideshow in the Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 slideshow, and what were their pixel dimensions? If you do not know, you can check it out in Photoshop Elements Full Editor/Image Menu/Resize/Image Size dialog or just place your mouse course over the file on the hard drive and note the "dimensions".
    2. If you transfer your slideshow from Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 to Premiere Elements 8, use the Output option "Send to Premiere Elements", and get your slideshow on the Premiere Elements 8 Timeline, do you render that Timeline by pressing the Enter Key of the computer main keyboard so that the red line over the Timeline turns green when the process is complete?
    3. Is your computer optimized, defragmented, cleaned up, scratch files directed to an external hard drive (NTFS formatted), etc. If you are using an external hard drive for the scratch files, is there enough space there for them?
    4. What is your computer operating system and what are its resources, such as, available RAM and free hard drive space. Have you checked your computer's virtual memory set up?
    Stay the course on this to rule in or out the above non wmv approach to getting your slideshow as a DVD-VIDEO. But if you do decide to detour over to Save As File Movie .wmv and you are dealing with oversized photos and an offending component in the slideshow, the the writing of the .wmv becomes a possible focus point for errors. And, if the .wmv is destined for DVD-VIDEO, then use the file size (also known as profile) = NTSC DVD (720 x 480).
    I suspect that the problem core goes to
    (a) use of oversized photos
    (b) offending component in slideshow
    (c) size of slideshow
    (d) computer resources
    (e) combination of all or any one of above
    I will continue to watch for your progress.
