Elements 11 organiser back up problems

Organiser asks me to back up my catalog which it proceeds to do. Before it can finish the following errors message comes up:
Error encountered while writing file(s)/users/user/library/applications support/adobe/elements organizer/catalogs/my catalog/catalogue.pse11db
What's this all about and how do I correct the problem?

First you have to understand that the organizer does not store photo files. It only stores the path (location on the disk) for the real photos. If photos have been deleted, moved or renamed out of the Organizer, not from within the organizer, the saved path is wrong but still in the list.
- You have two choices : either use the file menu to reconnect missing files -- then select all -- then delete all. That will remove all missing files from the Organizer list. Alternatively, you can simply start a new catalog.
- Note that if you have your organizer edit/preferences set to 'watch' folders, that means that all new files in the watched folders will be searched for and you will be prompted to import them. In your situation, I would disable this preference in the edit/preference menu so that no automatic process tries to import new files.

ELEMENTS ORGANISER 11 SORT PROBLEM

In the trial version the SORT BY drop down screen doesn't even show the ALBUM ORDER selection.
Why and what is the solutioon, please?

Hi,
Just to add to what Michel said and to check what is happening on your system, can you please try the following test.
Ensure that you are in Media      view
Select a few images
On the top left of the      window, click on the green plus sign to the right of the Albums heading - this should open      up the Add New Album panel on the right side
Enter a name for the album
Click on OK at the bottom right - this should close the panel and return      to to the Media view
On the left side you should      see you new album name under the Albums heading - if you can't see any album names, you      may need to expand the list by clicking on the small triangle to the left      of Albums
Select you album - this      should then display the images in your album with the order set to Album Order - each image should be      numbered
You should be able to drag an      image to a new position in the order
Please let us know if you see any different results

How do I fix uncontrollable scrolling in Elements Organiser?

How do I fix uncontrollable scrolling through image thumbnails in Elements Organiser? The problem occurs whether I use the trackpad on my Macbook or the Magic Mouse. I have tried slowing the gesture speed to Zero in Settings. This has absolutely no effect on the speed at which images move in the Organiser. The speed makes both Photoshop and Premiere Elements unusable.

Hi All,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Please try updating your PSE13 to free 13.1 update available.
This should fix your problem.
Please let us know if you have any queries.
Thanks,

4 Questions on New Project Settings with Pemiere Elements 9 - & Fix Quality Problems.

When I started my new project I selected PAL, DSLR - 1920 x 1080p - 24 fps.
Once in New Project, I dragged the movie onto the Timeline, then up poped a box saying something like "Fix Quality Problems", whch I accepted.
Q1 Which is the best frame rate to record in, to subsequently bring media into Premiere Elements 9?
I am in The UK so we have PAL and therefore, I could use 24p or 25p - 25 p is 25 fps, and 24p is 23.976 fps. per the Canon manual. [NB the Canon will not record at 50 or 60p in PAL]
Q2, I read somewhere that some Video Editors can not accept a movie file in its native format , and thus change it to a different format and then edit it, and then export and convert it back - often with a serious loss of quality. I would like to maximise the quality.
Q2i] Does Premiere Elements 9 do this converstion? If so does it harm the quality significantly - are there ways to avoid this?
Q2ii] and if so, is there a recording format best suited for me to record in, and subsequently import my videos into Premiere Elements 9? eg would it be better to record in 25 fps?
Q2iii] There was also a screen somewhere about this section like 2,2,3,2,2 I think its something to do with pulldown? What is the best setting for the highest quality?
Background info:-
I shot my videos with my new Canon DSLR 5D MkIII; I set the movie quality to:-
PAL, 1920 x 1080p ALL-I (this was the highest quality the 5DIII can record at, there was an "IPB" option for lower quality). And I selected 24 fps - which the manual says is actually 23.976 fps
The manual also says it is a MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 [movie recording compression] Recording Format = MOV
But strangely it loads onto my laptop as a "Quick Time Movie". I was expecting to see a .MOV file. [whether this is because this Sony Laptop comes with 'PMB Organiser' and view software. Or the hated iTunes changed how things are imported, I just don't understand any of this stuff . All I do know is iTunes repeatedly tried to change my default viewer. So did it change the format, which files are imported in?? [re loading the files from my cameras CF card into my laptop]
Any advice much appreciated
Peter

Peter,
The way out of the project is encoding. And recoding tends to degradation of the export in varying degrees for different formats. Typically DV AVI undergoes less change with reencoding than the rest. But, we are not dealing with DV AVI here. Your source appears to be
AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) video compression
1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 24 progressive frames per second
Rather than export the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Timeline to a .mov file or something else and then importing that into Premiere Elements 11 for is AVCHD export, please consider trying to open the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project in Premiere Elements 11 and then proceed there to export Publish+Share/Compute/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080 p24.
Keep in mind that if you take a project created in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and edit it in Premiere Elements 11 and then decide to further edit it in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1, cannot do. And, if some unexpected perk allows the opening of the Premiere Elements 11 edited version, there will be problems. Unless there is a special reason, best complete a project in the version that created and create anew in the newer version.
A just in case note, the original on the hard drive is not altered. Premiere Elements traces back to the original from the Project Assets thumbnail (copy of original).
But, you should make the comparsion between your H.264.mov opportunity in version 9.0/9.0.1 and your AVCHD.mp4 opportunity in Premiere Elements 11. I believe that you said that is your intention.
For your Premiere Elements 11 tryout download, check out another browser. I always had to go to Internet Explorer for that download. Firefox never was good for that. But with this version 11, Firefox did the job. I had better results saving the downloaded folder to Documents than I did to Desktop.
Please review and let us know if I have targeted your questions. If not, please detail what I overlooked.
Thanks.

Images viewed in elements organiser appear over saturated compared with acr or editor

Hi,
I've been struggling with this for some time now. When veiwing images in elements organiser (10) the images have started appearing more saturated than in either adobe camera raw or photoshop elements editor window. They used to always match. I've tried reseting all the colour presets, I've tried changing every setting I can find in acr and I've resorted to a full re-install of elements (including deleting the presets). None of thise have solved the problem.
I'm pretty sure it is the organiser view which is over saturated rather than acr / photoshop which is washed out as, although mostly quite subtle, sometimes the colours are pushed much too far. (I'm only describing it as saturation as that's how it looks - I couldn't say for sure that it is acutally a saturation setting rather than some other colour setting which is causing the issue).
Every so often organiser updates it's images as I veiw them to match acr but I've not noticed any one reason why that happens - and if I shut organser down and restart it's back to over saturation again.
Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved,
Stuart Martindale

Ken,
Thanks for getting back to me. You're right - it would seem that if I have every thing set to always optimize for computer screens then everything looks the same. Ideally I wouldn't have that set though - the photos are all taken with adobe RGB colour space and we are more given to big prints than sharing on screen.
This never used to be a problem and I've always previously optimised for printing. The pictures are definitley adobe RGB and checking in canon DPP the raw veiw there is the same as ACR so it is the initial organizer colouring which is at fault. I would rather use optimize for printing as we tend to make big prints from our photos rather than sharing electronic albums. Following the suggestion I've done some more playing with settings and found the following situations:
1) If opening organizer when set to optimize for printing the image opens with the wrong colouring. Changing to optimze for screen and update thumbnial and the colouring corrects. Changing back to optimize for printing update thumbnail and any subsequent changes and the colouring stays correct.
2) If opening organizer when set to optimize for computer screens orgainzer opens showing the right colouring. Chaning to optimize for printing and update thumbnail causes the colouring the change. Changing back to optimize for screen and the image corrects it's self. Changing back to optimize for printing and any subsequent changes and the colouring stays correct.
So in summary the first thumbnail viewing optimized for printing is over satuarated / vivid. Changing colourspace away and back seems to correct the problem.
If the colouring is correct for one photo it will update to be correct for any other images viewed.
If there is a way to make optimized for printing photos display correctly on first opening that would be great.

Premiere Elements file type for Elements Organiser

I use PSE13 organiser ( for pictures and movies) and editor. I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 and have just edited my first movie.
I would like to only access Premiere Elements via the Photoshop Elements organiser, but I am unsure what file type to save my Premiere edited files, so that they can be imported and tagged in the Elements organiser, and also played via the elements organiser.
I only want to run one organiser. Is this possible and what should I be saving my final Premiere files as after editing. ( in the same way that I save a PSD file to a JPG once editing is complete in elements editor.
Thanks

Your choice of export to conform to the support of the Elements Organizer seems limiting to me. But....
If I have a 1080p30 Timeline in Premiere Elements 13 Editor project and export it
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
That file saved to the computer hard drive can be taken into the Elements Organizer 13
a. displaying a thumbnail with an image from the video
and
b. can be played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player.
I have not gone through all the export choices to sort out which formats will do likewise. But, this particular AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080p30) result is
as described.
What is your export choice now and is the end product importing into the Elements Organizer 13, displaying there, and playing back from there?

Using PS Elements 11 on a Mac how can one replicate Finder folders in the Elements Organiser view?

Hi all - I have found the Organiser folder structure quite confusing and it does not seem to replicate the Finder folder structure other than randomly, unlike Bridge in PS for PC which I also use.
I would love to be able to create folders in elements or simply do so in Finder and find them show up in elements Organiser. It seems to me that only once I have saved an image to a folder in the Finder does it show up in the Organiser folder view. Is this correct?
Any suggestions around a sensible workflow or approach here would be most welcome, thanks. Sean

Many thanks Andaleeb - yes I have tried that and it seems only to add to the confusion - folders which in the Finder clearly show all my images are blank in PSE Organiser with the statement that they still have to be imported into PS Organiser. I guess that may be my fault because, due to the problems in locating files in Organiser I right clicked on them in the Finder and said 'open with PSE'. So in effect I bypassed PSE Organiser. But one would still have hoped that the folder hierarchy would be the same in Organiser and the Finder. Very confusing! I have never seen a program deal with folders etc in the way PSE does.
all the best
Sean

Elements Organiser won't start

My Windows 7 laptop recently shut down for no reason and since then, the only way I can access Elements Organiser is through the Picture Editor. If I try to use the desktop icon and select Organiser, I get the hour glass for a second or so and then back to desktop without the programme opening. Any ideas?

Try creating a shorcut directly for the Organizer.Go to : C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Adobe\Elements <version no> Organizer
There you will find PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe file
Right click on it and select Create Shortcut. If it creates the shorcut there only, cut it and paste on the desktop. This will launch Organizer directly.

Elements Organiser 10 in Windows 8 Lost the 'Imported Keyword Tag'

I have a similar situation. In upgrading from Elements 7 to 11 all my keyword tags are lost; both in the keyword panel and the tags on each of my imported pictures. I didn't install the Elements 11 I had a tech do it when I took my computer in for other issues, so I'm not sure of any of the specific steps taken when this was done. Any way to get these back short of "tagging" each picture again?

Elements Organiser - Copy photos to location

Hi,
I have been a mac user for a long time and just moved to pcs. For organising my photos i decided to use the Elements organiser.
My only problem is that with iPhoto it used to move all the photos i import into a /pictures/iphoto directory or something like that. Is there a way to make the elements organiser do the same?
Thanks,
Nikhil

Nikhil,
When you upload pictures from your camera, you can direct PSE where to store them by defining the location in the appropriate Preferences dialog. From the Organizer's menu, click on Edit > File > Get Photos and Videos > From Camera or Card Reader. You can do something similar for pictures you scan in the Scanner section of the Preferences dialog. Once set these preferences will be used automatically unless overridden.

Hi,
The D7100 requires ACR 7.4 to read the NEF files.
You would need Photoshop Elements 11 to be able to install that ACR or version 12 which has it in already
You could get Lightroom but if you do any manipulation of images using layers and the like, you might still need an editor like the Elements editor. Lightroom doesn't have facial recognition if you use that facility.

Error: adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I right-click to Convert to PDF or Convert to PDF and EMail for .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .pptx, .ppt, .pub, and .igx items (what I've tried so far), I get the following error: "Adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close". It works fine on .bmp .tif, .txt, .htm, and .jpg (what I've tried so far). I am not having problems printing to Adobe to convert, nor am I having problems creating a PDF within a program, and I'm not having problems converting from IE. I am using Windows XP Professional, Microsoft 2007, and IE 7. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat X Pro Version 10.1.2. What can I do to resolve this problem? Thanks.

No, I don't have an older version. I did a search on my C drive for anything that has a name of Acrobat Elements and came up with the following: (I'm hoping you can see this)
