Elements 11 - can't see which albums a photo is linked to

I have the same photo in multiple albums.  when I interrogate the photo it does not indicate which albums it is in.  Elements 9 did this.  what rick am I missing?  Tks - Darrell

Photoshop Elements questions are best answered in the Photoshop Elements Forum here, but I do have a good working knowledge of Photoshop Elements as well as Premiere Elements. So, let me see if my answer here will help.
Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are standalone programs and each has an Elements Organizer. When they are both on the same computer, they possess the intergration perk of sharing the same catalog/database.
Thumbnails that you see in the Elements Organizer 11 (with or without albums) trace back to the hard drive save location for the originals. Thumbnail information is stored in a database/catalog.
When you decide to delete a thumbnail from the catalog, you also get the option to delete the original on the hard drive as well as the thumbnail in the Organizer (with or without albums).
To answer your question
If it is decided that the photo is not required in a particular album any longer, how can you decide with certainty whether the photo can be deleted from the catalogue and the drive?
It depends on how you respond to the Confirm Deletion from Catalog dialog and that the program does not malfunction in some unexpected and unexplained way. Right now I am fighting a problem with the Photoshop Elements 11 Elements Organizer wherein it refuses to delete certain thumbnails and hits me with an "Unexpected Error has occurred" message. Still working out that matter.
Are you referring to a situation where you have the same photo in several different albums and you delete the photo from just one of the albums? The message that you get at such a time states deletion from the catalog. I have found that in such a case, the thumbnail representing that photo is deleted from all the albums containing it since they all trace back to one hard drive saved original. If I do not select "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk", then I still have the original in its hard drive save location, and it can be reimported in the Elements Organizer at another time if needed.
I am not sure that I picked up on the "...with certainty.." part of your question. So, please let me know if I have targeted your question.
Thanks.

  • How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture.  I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

    I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error.  I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture.  How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

    Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
    If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles.  Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I see which albums a specific photo in Moments/Collections have been added to?

    How do I see which albums a specific photo in Moments/Collections have been added to?

    In addition, it seems like Photos distinguish between the way pictures is managed in 'Albums' vs. 'Shared albums'. It seems like, removing a picture in Moments/Collections will remove the picture in the corresponding Albums (which I think is great) but not removing the picture in 'Shared albums'. In other words, a duplicate picture seems to be created when adding a picture to a shared album (instead of a reference picture like for 'Albums'). Am I correct? This is very confusing.
    In that case, I assume I need to remove my original picture each time I add a picture to a 'Shared album' in order to avoid duplicates and reach some kind of "master" management of my pictures?

  • Identifying which albums a photo is in

    Is there a way to know which albums a photo has already been added to? For example - if I have one photo in my library in several albums, is there a way to get a list of which albums that photo is in?
    Thanks,
    Lori

    Hi Lori,
    Not an easy way, but there is a way.
    Highlight each album, select all in the album, give a keyword for that album to all the images.
    Do this for each album.
    You have to keep the keywords short but descriptive for the album
    Now when you view the images in the library you can see by what keyword is assigned what albums they are in.
    This is also a good feedback to send to Apple for this feature. I have already sent feedback.

  • How can I see which pictures have been backed up

    How can I see which pictures have been backed up

    All the pictures in your camera roll will be backed up in iTunes or iCloud (depending on whether you have iCloud backup enabled on your iPhone) every time a backup is performed. The other photos stored on your iPhone (i.e. the ones you didn't shoot using the iPhone itself) will NOT be backed up.
    Nevertheless, it can't hurt to import them into iPhoto or Aperture (or whatever you're using) as roaminggnome suggested.

  • Can't see the bottom of Photo Booth

    Suddenly I can't see the bottom of Photo Booth to delete photos I don't like. The toolbar at the bottom is in the way. Making the toolbar smaller doesn't seem to help. This is a recent problem. It wasn't happening before. Did I do something to make this happen? Can I fix it? I'd appreciate any tips!

    HI Patty...
    Try deleting this file. com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
    BTW, you posted this in the Safari for Mac forum.
    I'm going to ask a host to move you thread to the Tiger forum.
    Also, please click My Settings on the right side of this window and type in which Mac you have, scroll down and click Save. Thanks!

  • Can you see which apps are open and/or running like you can on an android phone by going to settings applications running services?

    can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?

    Hi wjosten,
    thank you for the help.  I should have said I had a iphone 3.  A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button.  Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD.  I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens.  Am I making sense?

    Hi Arno ten Hagen,
    To check for activation you need to go to all the machines in which you have installed CC apps, launch any of the CC software, go to help and you will see the email address mentioned by which you are logged in to that machine.

  • Why i can`t see my all my photos the streaming in my new i-phone? i have 815 and i just can see 175

    Hello. do you know why i can`t see my all my photos the streaming in my new i-phone? i have 815 and i just can see 175

    Photo stream photos are only kept in photo stream for 30 days, although up to 1000 will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you connect a new device to your photo stream it will only receive photos added in the last 30 days as the earlier photos are no longer there.  Chances are, the missing photos were more than 30 days old.
    If the missing photos are on another device, you could create a shared photo stream including the missing photos and invite yourself, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.  You would see then be able to access the photos on your new phone.  Another option is to import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your new phone using iTunes.

    You need to create them on your PC first then sync them over. The ability to create them on the iDevice will be included in iOS 5 when its release later in teh year.

  • How can I see which specific page number I'm on in a Pages document?

    How can I see which specific page number I'm on in a Pages document? Thanks.

    Hi and thanks. Pages is V 5.0.1. And I've got OSX 10.9.1.
    I just tried what you suggested and while it works I'm looking for something like what a Word doc shows, where at the bottom of the screen you see - Pages: 1 of 37 (it's to the left of where a Word doc shows - Words: 7 of 9024).
    I recently switched to Pages and want to start using it all the time and get rid of Word.
