Elements 10 Organizer closes automatically

I recently purchased PS Elements 10, installed it with no problems, but cannot use the product because when I open the Organizer I get a message "Elements 10 has encountered a problem and needs to close" and the program closes. How do I resolve this issue?

Have not tried that. Right now I am going to try installing PSE 10 on my laptop and see if I run into the same issue. I have Vista on my laptop; we'll see if that makes a difference

  • Automatic people recognition in Elements Organizer

    Hi everyone,
    Because I have limited online disk space, I've been using Elements Organizer for quite some time to catalogue all my offline images. What I do is to burn all my images to DVD's and then import these images into Organizer as offline media with the “Generate previews” option. This way I can quickly find out on which DVD a particular image is kept. This way I save on disk space on my computer.
    Now I would like to get some advice and comments from you guys on using Organizer this way. I get the impression that the automatic people recognition does not work with offline media. Is this a correct assumption? How do you best optimize use of disk space when you have over 10000 images. My current version of Photoshop Elements is version 12.
    Your comments and advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
    Regards,
    Dave

    Hi, cihurst!
    Bridge doesn't currently have a way to recognize people, like Photoshop Elements Organizer, but the keywords should certainly be recognized! When you're in Bridge, check out the Keywords Panel (Window > Keywords Panel). It should contain the tags that you set in Organizer.
    Let us know if this helps!

  • "Elements Organizer" automatic tag

    When I use the Share to Flickr feature in the Organiser portion of PSE9, it automatically enters the tag "Elements Organizer" in the tags area.  Is there a way to turn this off?  Not that much of a big deal, but it would be nice to not have to delete it all the time.

  • Using Elements Organizer with Photoshop CS2

    I have grown comfortable with Photoshop Elements integrated organizer and have upgraded to Photoshop CS2 and instead of using the CS2 file manager would like to continue to use the Elements organizer. The problem Im having is when I edit a photo in CS2 and save it, I have to go find the edited file in Elements organizer and add it manually to the organizer, where if I edit in Photoshop elements, the file is automatically added in the organizer for me. Is there something I can do to make this more automatic when I edit in CS2?
    Thanks
    Joe

    Joe,
    I have all the current updates for both products, but other than that, I've
    done nothing special.
    For regular file types (jpg, psd, etc.) the handshake goes without a hitch.
    Raw files act a little quirky. Raw files do get passed from Organizer to
    CS2 and they open in camera raw. But, I've found that if you don't press
    the "open" button in camera raw, CS2 will give you an error message that
    says it couldn't receive the document from "Photoshop Album". Click ok on
    that message and you get another that says it could not complete the update
    from the Photoshop Album command because of a program error.
    If, I press "open" in the camera raw dialog to edit in CS2, all is fine. If
    I make changes and save, Organizer pops up a message saying I've returned to
    Organizer and gives me an option to add to a version set or keep it
    separate. It adds to the version set fine. But, since I only selected save
    in CS2, it remains open there. If I make further edits to the open file and
    save, I have to manually update the organizer thumbnail. On the other hand,
    if I just click close and respond yes to the "save changes" message , I get
    two popups -- one labled "edited file from Photoshop" and "new edited file".
    If I click "ok" on both, I get two entries in the version set. (I've done
    that with a regular file and I only get one popup.)
    So, there you have it. Ordinary files work as expected. But, raw is quirky.
    Raw files work fine if you continue to open in CS2 from camera raw and only
    save once.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 11 crashes due to deadlock in the thread wait chain when creating thumbnails for *.mts (AVCHD) files

    Hi,
    the Elements Organizer 11 creates a deadlock in the wait chain when generating thumbnails for more than a handful of MTS (AVCHD) files.
    After importing AVCHD files from my Canon video camera, the organizer using default settings always crashes. I was able to narrow down the problem to be caused by thumbnail generating.
    After deactivating the automatic generation of thumbnails, the organizer does not crash any more upon launching .
    Of course, working without thumbnails is not very practical. The next resort is manual trigger of thumbnail generation by selecting "update thumbnail".
    If I manually trigger updating of thumbnails for files one by one, then it works for quite many files before crashing again.
    Selecting thumbnail update for multiple files at once has a much higher likelihood to crash.
    This does not seem to be related to particular file contents: a file that leads to crashing once may be flawlessly get a thumbnail created at the next attempt.
    The Windows event report looks as follows (German language Windows):
    Name der fehlerhaften Anwendung: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe, Version: 11.0.0.0, Zeitstempel: 0x505e9f67
    Name des fehlerhaften Moduls: msvcrt.dll, Version: 7.0.9600.16384, Zeitstempel: 0x52158ff5

    Vollständiger Name des fehlerhaften Pakets:
    Anwendungs-ID, die relativ zum fehlerhaften Paket ist:
    Occasionally, a different module is listed as erroneous instead of msvcrt.dll.
    My questions:
    - has anyone experienced the same problem?
    - is this a known issue with Organizer 11?
    - is the issue solved with Organizer 12?
    I have Premiere Elements 11, Photoshop Elements 11 installed and not experienced any other issues with these applications.
    Playback of said AVCHD (*.mts) files works flawlessly, i.e. I do not have any codec or performance issue on my PC.
    Deactivation of anti-virus software has no significant effect. I have excluded video directories from scanning anyways.
    Have deactivated face recognition, visual search and smart tagging in the organizer.
    Have also disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS.
    Using Windows XP compatibility settings for PSE somewhat improved the stability, but did not completely eliminate crashes.
    Additionally, it signnificantly slows down thumbnail generation and a progress indication window becomes visible during thumbnail generation, which is barely noticable in native Win 8.1 mode.
    Officially, Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1.
    There is a knowledgebase article related to Elements 6, which recommends to disable multi-threading and to enforce execution of Organizer on more than one core.
    This reduces the problem a little bit, but thumbnailing more than a handful of files still leads to crashing.
    By means of the task manager, I analyzed the wait chain of the process PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe:
    Every time the fault occurs, it is caused by a deadlock in the wait chain.
    For example:
    PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
    -- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932
    ---- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
    PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932
    -- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
    ---- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932

  • Elements Organizer (photoshop elements 11) stops working and shuts the program down.

    I have had Photoshop Elements for several years - first used version 3   then 8 (lost in the 2010 Nashville Flood)  bought 9 last year) - then 11 purchased in Dec 2012.
    I had trouble installing 11 (Premier and photoshop kept locking up in the install process)   finally installed after 8 hours of problems when I did a clean boot uninstalled Virus protection etc.
    Very Frustrating.  Installing on HP Pavilion purchased after the flood - 3gigs ram - windows 7 operating system.  I have over 2000 pics and HD video clips on the hard drive and during the final installation the files were (converted)  according to the install
    I tried the "Online Chat" and was cut off
    I've been unable to use the new Organizer since it shuts down.   Tried several times over several days with the same results.  
    Today I transfered a number of photos (jpeg) from Zip drive to the hard drive - followed the instructions on page 9 of the all too brief booklet and
    - the pics came up on the screen --HOORAY
    UNFORTUNATELY THE CELEBRATION WAS PREMATURE - Organizer stopped AGAIN   HELP!!!

    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Organizer.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete settings file; click Yes.  It will open with default preferences.
    Solution 3:
    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Shift key and click Organizer . Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
    Please delete the following files from the location : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\9.0\Organizer
    psa.prf
    status.dat
    Now go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\ and run the exe PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe with Admin rights.
    If you are on MAC, you will get the files psa.prf and status.dat at ~/library/app support/adobe/elements organizer/9.0/organizer. Post deleting them try launching Organizer.
    try and let me know your comments.

    I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements.  I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos).  A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags.  I said yes, and the process began.  When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 13 crash!!!

    Hey everybode,
    since yesterday I have a problem with my Photoshop Elements Organizer 13. It appears for a few seconds and after that it disapears as soon as it published. No report and no apparent reason. After a millions of install and uninstall still tthe same problem. Even the troubleshooting of Adobe brings no solution. What can I do now??? Any ideas???
    I need help please!!!

    zna22121,
    Close computer down, and restart. If it does not work, it should, then re-install. But, do not attempt more than 200 at a time it just cannot handle it ?
    Good luck
    Ps. I just dislike Organiser, (it is too slow, and disorganised) you can go from PE 13 Editor ( My wife tried it and went back to PE 6 ) and Process Multiple Files only 200 at a time. in Photoshop Elements, Organizer may handle it ?
    We often do video production stills of 2,000 from PE 6 and we know it works ,when you use the images in Adobe CS5.5.2 Premiere Pro..for HD & Blue -ray transfers.. It is very easy ?

  • Premier Elements & Elements Organizer

    Every time I start a project in Premiere Elements 12, Elements Organizer automatically added to the catalog photos or videos used in the project. I do not want it that way. I do not want the pictures or videos used in the project are added to Elements Organizer. How I can do this?

    Pumby
    Premiere Elements 12 and earlier all work off the same principle, that is, you import a file into Premiere Elements workspace and a copy of the file is automatically placed in the Elements Organizer.
    The Add Media dialog does not contain an Option not to import the file also into Elements Organizer.
    Until proven otherwise, it is what it is.
    We might want to talk about Watch Folders and media getting into the Elements Organizer. The following is my last involvement with that type of question when the Watch Folders came up in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1. The principles would be applicable to Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12.

  • How can I use LR as an Editor while using Elements Organizer as the Database?

    I started this question in the LR newbie section of the forum but maybe a few more eyes should see the question. 
    Simply put, I want to stay with Elements Organizer as the database of my holdings. (Yes, I've tried the LR analog and it does not do as well for me.)
    I'd like to mouse a file ovfer to LR, do edits in LR, and then get the finished product back to Elements.  I suspect that is an EXPORT issue on LR's part but am not sure.
    Are there others who have a similar requirement?
    How should I proceed?

    Hi Linus,
    I'm admittedly out on a limb here, since I have zero experience with Photoshop Elements. On the plus side, I have lots of experience with Lightroom, and plugins which may help.
    As Jim said, photos have to be added to Lightroom catalog to be edited, and the 2 possible ways which spring to mind are:
    * Manual Import
    * Automatic Import
    Manual may not be so bad, since you can drag a file (maybe direct from PE, but certainly from OS) and drop it in the library grid, and Lr's import dialog box will open with only that photo selected and 'Add' as the way to import it (as opposed to 'Copy', 'Move', or 'Convert to DNG'). So, all you'd have to do is click the 'OK' (actually it's 'Import') button.
    The problem with Lr's automatic import is that it only supports one watched folder, so you'd have to copy files to it, and then info needed to export it to the correct place for return to PE has been lost, so I recommend using Jeffrey Friedl's Folder Watch plugin, or my very own Ottomanic Importer if you choose to go that route. That way, when you export or publish them they'll be where you want them to be (same folder as original, if I understood you correctly).
    For return to PE, I'd recommend TreeSyncPublisher. I mean, if you are only ever editing once, and always doing one at a time, then a simple export will suffice, but if you want to edit (and/or re-edit) in batch, a publish service will save you some confusion, since you don't have to remember which photos you edited - just click 'Publish'.
    I assume you have some way for PE to recognize new files created by publishing in Lr, and updates to existing files...
    You may have to experiment to come up with something that suits well enough - keep us posted..

  • Offline adobe form closes automatically on Vista while its works in XP

    Hi Experts,
    I have a problem in which the 100 % offline adobe form is not working on vista machine while the same is working in XP. The form closes automatically on vista machine using acrobat reader 9.3 version while the form is trying to load data from a webservice to populate the dropdowns. It is working fine in all XP machine with Acrobat reader 9.0.
    The form are created using ALC 8.1 and Interactive form element has display type = ActiveX.
    Please can you provide some solution to the problem, does any setting like buffer size etc needs to be added/increased on vista. I had asked user to downgrade the acrobat reader version to 9.0 on vista machine to eliminate one factor and waiting for result.
    Regards
    Deepak

    Hi Chintan,
    Thanks for the advice. I had already asked the user to downgrade the adobe reader version.
    I know that ZCI is available for the release currently being used and should be used, but the forms were designed some 7-8 months back and currently UAT is going on, so I need to fix this issue quickly.
    I had already planned to move the forms to ZCI after UAT.
    Now, the single forms behave differently (some fields/pages visible/hidden and populated accordingly) based on the input provided by user. There are 39 different scenarios in which the forms runs.
    Now for the user on vitsa, the form is working for 10-15 scenarios but the adobe reader closes automatically for other scenarios. The only thing I can think of is that data volume for non working scenario is more to be populated in the forms. While all the scenarios are working fine in XP machine.
    Have you faced this kind of issue, looks like buffer/memory issue on vista machine as the adobe reader closes without showing any error to the user?
    Regards
    Deepak

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetic sort

    I have been wanting to sort selections in Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetically by file name.  Does the recently released Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer have that feature or does it still only sort by date?

    PSE12 can sort alphabetically in all modes : thumbnail view, My Pictures, Pictures or albums.
    In albums, when you open an album it automatically opens in album order sort, except if you have the timeline displayed.
    When you add pictures to an album, the added batch is appended to the existing pictures in the order they are shown when you move them.
    If you want to create a custom order mainly based on an existing sort (date, import batch, name, old custom order), simply create a new empty album and with the correct starting order, move all the items in your album to the new one. You can then move your pictures around in album (custom) order with less work.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer quit unexpectly when accessing photos.

    Why does photoshop elements organizer quit when accessing photos?

    Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
    Edit >Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted. Navigate to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\<Catalog name>
    Inside the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
