Elements 11freezes from Organize to Edit.  HELP!!!

What am I doing wrong?  I have loaded photos into Organize but I cannot transfer from Organize to Edit without the whole system freezing up.  The cursor is a hand... I can't even get that to work....and then I can't close the page.  I just purchased (a download) this upgrade from Elements 6.  That wasn't so terribly user-friendly, but Elements 11 is a nightmare!  HELP???

Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.
Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.
To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability. Launch both apps from the desktop and keep them open. Then try going from Organizer to Editor.

  • Can't access Photoshop Elements 12 from Organizer

    I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 13 for video and using the organizer that came with it.  I also edit photos in the organizer with my Photoshop Elements 12.  However, when I click on edit from the organizer it wants me to buy Photoshop Elements 13 or try it for 30 days.  How can I use my Photoshop Elements 12 for photo editing from the organizer?

    Hi,
    Each version of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are designed to work independently from other versions. That is why Adobe sell the package with both applications at a reduced cost.
    You could set up your version 13 organizer to use Photoshop Elements 12 editor as a supplementary editor - see Edit -> Preferences -> Editing. Then, when you are in the Elements 13 organizer and want to edit a photo, you would select Editor -> External Editor.
    However, there are a few problems that you need to be aware of. The Photoshop Elements 12 editor will only talk to a Elements 12 organizer so you may have to uncheck the "Include in Elements organizer" option when saving in the editor. The new image will not, by default, appear in your Elements 13 organizer - you may be able to use watch folders. The new image will not appear in a version stack - you could manually stack it.

  • How do I launch Organizer and Edit from the welcome menu of photoshop Elements 12?

    I've been trying to get Adobe Photoshop Elements software to work on my computer since mid December.  I've had alot of responses to different options, even from Adobe themselves, and nothing is working.
    I get the Welcome Menu screen but when I click on either Organizer or Edit nothing happens.  I am the administrator on my home computer and tried launching as administrator but nothing works.
    I've tried launching it from "Program File" exe but nothing.  When I do this I get this error message; "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
    I've tried a Install Photoshop Elements in a simplified mode, nothing.   I've shut down my firewall and virus program and then install, nothing.
    Looks like I've stooped everyone.  Now I can't even return it because the package is open.
    Is there anyone out in cyber land that has a simple yet brilliant solution for me?
    My computer is a 64-bit Operating System, Intel (R) Core i7 CPU, 869 @ 2.80GHz, Windows 7 Professional.

    If the executable is not being recognized you must have an incomplete or faulty installation.
    I would suggest uninstalling via the control panel (Add/Remove Programs) and then re-install again from a different source. You can use the link below for the free trial (it’s identical) and if you get it correctly installed, simply use your serial number to validate and make the product permanent.
    The link starts with the Adobe Download Assistant. You then browse to the photography programs to select PSE12 to start the download. After the download completes, installation should commence automatically but you may need to double click on Setup to start it off.

  • Can not switch from organizer mode to editor mode in adobe premiere elements 12.

    After successfully installing and registering my new adobe premiere elements 12 and had created the organizer, I still can't switch from organizer mode to editor mode to edit a file (photo).

    Alfredo Agorilla
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
    You wrote
    I still can't switch from organizer mode to editor mode to edit a file (photo).
    Just how are you trying to do that...
    a. Are you in the Elements Organizer 12 workspace, right clicking the photo's thumbnail, and selecting Edit with Premiere Elements Editor
    or
    b. Something else.
    Is there an error message that results when you try to switch "from organizer mode to editor mode" and cannot?
    When you mention "....to edit a file (photo)", I wonder if you are not trying to get to Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, not Premiere Elements 12 Editor, from the Elements Organizer 12.
    Please supply a step by step of what you are doing so that we can be sure that we are in sync on the details that we are using to work through your issue.
    Thank you.

    I got photoshop elements 12 from apple app store, after launch , no organize (album). How do I import , export pictures?

    Did you buy the Editor only version? Here's the product comparison - Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - Buying guide.
    [EDIT] Actually it seems you can ONLY buy the Editor only version via the App Store. Here's an explanation why (scroll down to the fourth section) - Purchases through Mac App Store FAQ.[/EDIT]

  • How do you transfer Albums & their contents from Elements 11 into a later edition Elements 13. Thanks

    How do you transfer Albums & their contents from Elements 11 into a later edition Elements 13. Thanks

    Albums are lists which are stored into catalogs. They don't contain the images, they just keep a pointer to where the pictures are stored in your computer and the order to display them.
    So your problem is with catalogs, not with albums.
    If you have missed the message to convert the old current catalog at installation time, that's not a problem. You can use the menu File in the organizer, select 'Manage catalogs' which will show a 'convert' button. That is also necessary if you have more than one catalog.
    The catalog is not a single file, it's a folder containing the main database, catalog.pse13b as well as other files and subfolders. The location of your current catalog can be found with the menu Help/System Info of the organizer. If you want to use another catalog, the organizer will search for other catalogs and provide a list to choose from.

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • HELP ASAP!! PSE5 "elements user name organization or serial number is missing or invalid.  thsi application cannot continue and must now exit

    HELP!!!!  I am a graphic designer I LOVE my version of Photoshop elements 5... I am also a Mom of two who depends on my party supply business as my only income currently!!!! 
    Upon opening to work on a party supply order DUE TODAY for a kid's first birthday I got this ERROR MESSAGE:
    "Your adobe photoshop elements user name organization or serial number is missing or invalid.  This application cannot continue and must now exit"  And then closes.....
    I don't know where my disc is to uninstall/reinstall since I got this program Oh say 10 years ago....  WHAT DO I DO!!?  I am in complete PANIC mode!
    Anyone?! Chat said they couldn't help me it's too old?!?!  HELP

    Hello ...Mom,
    here you will find (if stored at Adobe) "General infos about your Adobe Account" https://www.adobe.com/account.html. To see what Adobe has saved about your serial number, please have a look there: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    On the other hand you could use a non Adobe program, like
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
    Good luck!

      You need to keep the keys pressed for several seconds. Close down Elements. Hold down the CtrlShiftAlt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys until you get the settings option. You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?Click on YesThen wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.  You should see something like this (example PSE9)  http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4880527-258346/320-111/Setting s-pop-upPSE9.png

  • Switching from Organizer to Editor in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12

    Can not switch from organizer mode to editor mode in both adobe photoshop elements and adobe premiere elements 12.

    Convert the songs to .wav format using Apples instructions here - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550 and import the .wav file to your slide show. Note this may not work if they are DRM protected (that would be stuff purchased from Apple prior to spring 2007).

  • Image won't open in Elements 10 from "Photo/Edit In" in LR4

    I hope someone can help.  I recently got a new BIG MAC, and have been loading my software.
    The external editing preference to Elements 10 from Lightroom 4 will open Photoshop Elements, but will not open the image... I've reinstalled elements, reinstalled the preference, rebooted multiple times.... 
    Please help...Thank you!

    You've probably chosen the logical file instead of the correct file as your external editor:

  • Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?

    Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?
    My laptop, which uses Windows 7, came with the hard drive divided between a C and D drive.  the C drive, where all the programs load, is nearly full, and I would like all the photos and videos that adobe elements organizer finds and that I download into load on my nearly empmty and spacious D drive.
    In other programs I can change this is file prefernces, but I cant find that feature in elements.
    Is it possible? and how can I do it?

    Team Ben Hur
    SG will probably have more to say about his reply, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out Premiere Elements 11/Elements Organizer 11/File Menu/Catalog Manager... and the Custom Location option. I suspect that is what both of you have in mind?
    When Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are installed on the same computer, they share a common Elements Organizer (catalog) although they can be purchased as standalone products each with its own Elements Organizer (catalog).
