Elements 10 organizer reordering photos in album view

In elements organizer you can drag and drop a photo in an album to change its position when the display is in ablum oder. This is very slow if you have a lot of pictures. Is there any other way to change the order that is quicker? Can you use the numbers that ogranizer assigns to each photo to tell it where to put the selected photo?

No.
But alphabetical file name order is an option if you select Date (Newest First)

I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

PSE8 Organizer: Can't stack photos in album view?

Why can't I manually create stacks when I am only looking at photos from a specific album?
For example, if I am showing all photos in the catalog, I am free to multi-select photos and do a right-click >Stack. The same is true if I have filtered the view down by tags, or by import batch. However, if I have selected an album from the Albums list, stacking is no longer an option. Photos that have already been stacked and exist in the album show as stacked, and I can even unstack them (if I right-click the stack, Stack > Unstack Photos is an option, as is Flatten Stack), but if I am not able to create stacks or add photos to stacks. Why is this?

Hi nick,
Checked on PSE10. It does allow stacking when in Album view. However it doesn't allow so in 8 and 9.
You might want to try 30day free trial of PSE10 as it is full of some great features

Move photo in album, view returns to select location

iPhoto '09 v8.1.1 424 (earlier versions, too)
Organizing/moving photos in an album:
When dragging a photo(s) in an album, say to move it from row 20 to row 1, where drag requires an auto scroll by holding the thumbnail at the top edge of album window, iPhoto returns view to row 20 when photo is dropped at row 1. Same for any drag, up or down, if pick location is off screen from drop location.
I would like to have the view stay at drop location. No pref for this. Any way to fix?
Or click to select, then mouse scroll, and some hot key click to insert photo at new location (view stays at insert location).
Also, iPhoto has a very narrow target strip for the auto scroll. Any way to widen the scroll control area? Or tips to work it?
Any comment appreciated.

That seems to be the default behavior of that version of iPhoto when dragging in an album. Not much you can do about it at this time.
There is a new version of iPhoto 8, iPhoto 8.1.2, that you could update to and see if that helps.

I just want to organize my photos to albums and not appear anywhere else. Photos appear in Photos and no indication if they have been dealt with.

I want to load my photos onto my MacBook Pro, sort them into albums and not have them appear in other locations. If I go to Photos all of the photos in the computer seem to appear. I can't tell if they have been put in an Album or have been edited. Is there a simpler system that I can use.

iPhoto works similarly to iTunes. In iTunes, every track is in the Library and each playlist is a sub-set of the Library.
So, in iPhoto, every image is in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library. So, your photos will always be visible in the Library and in any album you use them in. That - of course - means that any image can ne used in a multitude of albums, and use no extra disk space. So that shot of your son, daughter and their puppy can be in the Son album, Daughter album, Puppy Album and even a favourites album.
Photos and Events are simply two views of the Library - two doors to the same room as it were.
It's easy to find photos not in an Album - with a Smart Album:
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> any
and another will find Photos not editoed:
File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Edited.
As you edit a photo, or add it to an album, they will be dropped from the Smart Album.

Elements Organizer importing photos from iPhone 5s

On a Windows 8.1 laptop, using PhotoElements 12.1 (all up-to-date with patches), the import function under the organizer shows the iPhone 5s in the device dropdown.
When that device is chosen, it shows a dialog box with "Connecting to device... Please wait.". This never returns with the pictures on the phone. I have to use the task manager to stop the device.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I searched the forum but didn't see any question/resolution about this issue.
Thanks,
MEG

Does anyone at Adobe even look at the forum? I'm told that this is the only support for this product (Photoshop Elements). Given that, I would think they would have someone reviewing it.
I posted this almost a week ago and no one has responded.
I've used photoshop or photoshop elements for years (at least 10) and probably only called support once or twice during that period. However, if you can't get support for a product (retail price $79), then why purchase it?
I have no problem with companies that monitor their forums, but a week is pretty sad.

Photo date in "Album" view

Can I view a photo's date while in Album view? I would then like to be able to change the date in that view (I don't think this is possible).
I have a huge number of undated pictures--random pictures that are part of larger events. If I could see the date of a picture that is

I don't consider this a feature request. In the default Photos library, the key photo in Album view fills the whole square. But for a library that was created from an Aperture library, the key photo does not fill the whole square.
Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to make the key photo larger?

Delete a photo permanently after selecting in *album view*

In iPhoto 11 in Lion 7.1, I know that if I select some photos in an Album (that is, in single Album view) and delete them, they will be deleted from the Album only, not from iPhoto itself. In other words, the photos will remain in Photos view:
I can of course search for the identified photos in Photos view, but that means noting (in single Album view) the photo numbers assigned by my camera (eg., P6160092) to each photo and then, for each photo, changing to Photo view and searching for a photo and deleting it. Time-consuming, inelegant and tedious.
Doing the selection in single Album view is important because I will often want to delete neighbouring (repeat or faulty) photos, or the nearby originals of a panorama created from them. Deleting quite a large number of photos is important because it is so easy to take many versions of a scene.
Therefore, what I would like to do is to select them in single Album view and then tell iPhoto to delete them not only from that Album but also from Photos view (and therefore delete them from the computer).
I was able to do that in an earlier version by selecting the photos on Album view, then pressing CMND OPTION DELETE, then CNTRL-CLICKING on iPhoto's Trash icon and choosing "Empty Trash". I haven't dared do this on my present collection in case something goes badly wrong. "The Missing Manual" is no help here.
So, how can I do that please?
Also, I note that if photos are displayed in Events view, the resulting Events are not in alphabetical order (like I have my list of albums) which seems unhelpful. So what is the point of Events view if it simply duplicates the list of Albums?

You ask:
So, how can I do that please?
But you have already answered:
selecting the photos on Album view, then pressing CMND OPTION DELETE, then CNTRL-CLICKING on iPhoto's Trash icon and choosing "Empty Trash".
Sorry but I really don't understand what you're asking.

Key photo image in Album View too small

I imported a small Aperture Library into Photos to test things out. One thing I notice is that in Album View, the key photo for a folder is very small.
Here is an example:
I have tried making another photo the Key Photo, and switching back. They are always small. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I don't consider this a feature request. In the default Photos library, the key photo in Album view fills the whole square. But for a library that was created from an Aperture library, the key photo does not fill the whole square.

Undeletable black photo in album + new pics only in places not in album

So, I got my new iPhone 4 and have discovered that in the album there is a black photo that I can't delete either by going to the photo and clicking on the trash, or by clicking edit in the album view, selecting the photo and deleting it. It prompts for delete, but then nothing happens. Trying to email it also results in a broken photo image attached. Additionally the photo in album view is offcentered so it overlaps a little with the photo to the right and also the one below it.
When I take new photos they also don't appear in the album. But they do appear in the places view.
Is there a fix for this?

Ok, odd, I just sync'd my phone again and now things seem better. It's definitely not the 1st time I've sync'd so not sure what the problem is, but it's fixed now and hopefully will stay fixed.

How can i organize my photo albumbs(not greyed out)

So i was trying to organize some photos of mine from the computer and the internet.
I created folders in my pc and made my ipad synced with them as albums(folder names=albums).
Then i downloaded an image from the internet in my ipad and i wanted to move it to the correct album instead of cameral roll.
To my surprise i couldnt move it to the albumbs i send through my pc because they were greyed out, so i made a new folder with the same name as that folder i had in my pc and transferred the image there along with all the other images from the pc album.
So now in order to avoid having 2 albums for the same thing i removed the that folder from my pc and synced with ipad. I also deleted the downloaded image from camera roll because i didnt need it to be there and only wanted it to be in my new album.
Then to my surprise after syncing and deleting that image all the photos in the new album have dissapeared which means the image was never transfered, it was just linked there and if the original is gone then it is removed.
My question is.
Is there any way to organize my photos in albums, albums that you can move images to from camera roll and arent greyd out when you are trying to add an image to them. And also to move images in those albums without having to keep a copy of them in camera roll??
Having to update your pc folders everytime you download something from ipad is a pain.

Albums that you sync from your computer can't be deleted or amended directly on your iPad - you can only add photos to them, or remove photos, by adding/removing them on the folder on your computer and resyncing.
And when you create an album in the Photos app on your iPad and 'copy' a photo into it you are only creating a pointer to the photo, you're not creating a separate copy of the photo - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore remove it from any albums that you've 'copied' it into.
There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you could use instead - you can copy photos to that app from your computer, and to/from the Photos app, and you can delete photos (including those copied from a computer) directly in it. So you could use an app such as that for your albums.

FAQ: My files are missing from Elements Organizer, or How to reconnect your images?

What is Elements Organizer?
The Elements Organizer can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Orgnizer, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is an Elements Organizer catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Elements Organizer. When importing a file, the first thing Organizer does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and yourr catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Elements Organizer say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Elements Organizer, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Elements Organizer, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Can't edit, open, reconnect photos or media | Incorrect drive letter | Elements 6 or later Organizer | Windows

Anything besides reconnecting all the files, such as switching the drive letter (if that is even possible)?
The easiest way to fix this is to change the drive letter. Here are instructions for Windows 7: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/change-drive-letters-windows-7.htm
To prevent this from happening again, you can change the drive to some very high letter, like X:, and then it should remain constant. In Lightroom, right-click on the top level folder ,and select Find Missing Folder, and then point it to your X: drive.
I know I can "Import---Add to catalog" all the photos from my external hard drive back into the catalog but I do have a question:
I won't address your question specifically, since re-importing is a very bad idea. A very bad idea. You will lose information that is not in the sidecar files, such as collection members, edit history, flags, virtual copies, stacks and a few other things. Just don't go there. Change the drive letters, as I explained.

I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so. My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album. After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location. What am I doing wrong? I know this should be a simple thing to do. Thanks

In the Elements Organizer 13
The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
in the line up of thumbnails.
Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
Let me rephrase my problem:
I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying and pasting each photo caption.
Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12
