Elements 5.0 doesn't save to version set

Hi,
I have been using Elements 5.0 for a while without any problems. Recently it will not allow me to save an edited picture to a version set. It allows me to edit it OK, and it does save, but it doesn't show as a version set. It won't even do it if I force it manually using FILE, SAVE AS and then checking the version set box. My old version sets that I have done previously show up OK, but not the new.
Does anyone have any ideas? Some preference setting somewhere or maybe the program is corrupt?
If I can't get this to work, does anyone know if I will have a problem uninstalling and reinstalling the program? Does it uninstall cleanly or are preferences left behind?
Thanks,
Pam

Open the Organizer and do a File->Catalog->Recover.

Why don't PS Elements 12 edited photos properly save in version sets after editing?

This is a problem that never occurred in PS Elements 11. But if I edite a photo that is currently in Organizer with PS Element Editor and save it after editing, it only gets properly included in Organizer and made part of the version set about 20% of the time. The rest of the time the edited file gets saved in the same folder as the original but has not been added to Organizer. The appropriate check boxes in the Save As screen are checked. But 4 out of 5 times it behaves as if the boxes are not checked. I have done several photos in sequence and used the same exact keystrokes and only one or two will be included in the version set. I then have to go "Get" the version and bring it into Organizer and tell the program to Stack the two photos. It is a pain to do it that way. Does anybody have a clue why it is not working as it is suppose to?

Known bug in converted catalogs. It works correctly if you create a new catalog or a workaround for converted catalogs is to kill the ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe process in Task Manager.

Save in Version Set not working

I've been using Elements 9 for about a year, and just recently when I try to save a file after editing, and selecting Save in Version Set with Original, the file is saved to the original location, but it's not saved as a version set in the catalogue. Can anyone please help?

Yes, that's right. It still doesn't save the image as a version set. I've seen a couple of other posts from people with the same problem, and so far I've not seen a solution. I've even tried reinstalling but it made no difference.

Save as Version Set not working

Save in Version set with original

Brand new to Elements, and I am using Elements 9. When I have an image open, jpeg, opened in the editor, I would like to check th =e ox saying Save in Version Set with Original, but it doesn't allow me too in the Saving options. Can anyone tell me why and how I can fix it so I can ? Thanks in advance !

Browse and read to know more about the setting. It is almost similar to PSE9.

How can I avoid the annoying business of unchecking SAVE AS VERSION SET

Using PSE11 on my iMac as a pro photographer is generally easy, but I'd like to simply save without having to uncheck SAVE AS VERSION SET. I don't need version sets, only the image I'm saving and that's that. I've tried various resetting of Preferences, but when I restart PSE the check reappears. What might seem trivial becomes time-consuming when you save new images all day. Interesting that Adobe doesn't mention how NOT to have the box for SAVE AS VERSION SET checked when you first save, another case of software programmed to do more than you want it to do and the user having to go to work to figure out how NOT to be helped where it's not wanted.

If that option is supposed to be sticky and it’s not, perhaps the preferences file is corrupted and needs reset:

PSE 11 - How disable Save in Version Set

How can I default the Save in Version Set checkbox to unchecked so I do not have to remember to uncheck it when I save. I _never_ want to create a version set. Thanks.

I don't think you have an option to disable "save in version set".

How to save different files when can't save in version set?

For some reason I can't save my edits unless I uncheck Save Photo in Version Set. But I have some edits that I havein several versions. If I try to Save by changing name to indicate a version, Photoshop Elements 9 asks if I want to replace a previous edit, which I don"t. How can I save different versions of one file in I can't check Save Photo in Version Set? I am using a Mac.

If you have used Lightroom as an external editor on these images and not initially opened from Organizer, the file path will be broken.
See tips for working with version sets.

Elements 11 problem with Saving to Version Set

I have upgraded toElements 11 but when i go to save a file to " save in version set with original" it will not let me, as the tick box is blanked out?

It maybe a question of permissions. Are you running from an administrators account or a user account? If the latter do you have full read/write permissions for the application? What operating system do you have ?
On Windows try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. Make sure you have the correct file path as there is more than one exe file. 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.
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
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. on 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files
Right click on each of the new desktop icons and launch by choosing “Run As Administrator”
Keep both applications running but try to edit and save a photo as before.

I can't get the version sets to save in the stack!

I have been using Photoshop Elements 5.0. I had been editing my photos and saving
them as a version set. After about doing 6 photos, all of a sudden
they won't save in the version set...stacked on top. The edited version seems to save in a different
file but not in my organizer. I didn't think I had changed anything.
I am using windows XP and the box is checked as to save as version set, and I get all the other screens describing what a version set is, but it isn't in the organizer when I go back to it.
Help?

Unless you have changed the OS the “save as” command should continue to operate..?
What have you changed recently?

Problem with version sets in Elements 12

I have just started using elelments 12. I have been having problems with inconsistency in forming version sets. Some sets forms as expected. However, quite often after editing, when returning to Organizer the edited picture is not in a version set with the original and in fact is not even visible. I can get to the edited version only through the "Open" tab in the Editor. I have check the appropriate "Save in version set" in the save menu. Suggestions?

Seems you have the same problem :
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1309160?start=0&tstart=0
The source of the problem is not clearly found today. It seems that happens on previously converted catalogs.
A workaround seems to have been found : killing the autoanalyzer.exe process in the task manager.

Version sets in 12 not working correctly

Do other people have an issue in Photoshop Elements 12 with it not consistently saving photos in version sets? someties it works correctly and somethimes it doesn't and it also bumps me out stating it is a new photo. i do have it configured to always save in version sets and to not notify me with new photos?
Emily

Thank you so much. We'll see if this fixes the problem. I had worked with
Adobe for many many hours in August and they couldn't figure out why it was
doing this. how come they don't know their own product!!!

Versions Set not saving in Organizer 9

Using Organizer and PSE 9 on a Mac, about 13,000 photos in single catalog.
Had been using Versions Sets with no problem, but now the edited image is not being added to the version set. It works okay if I do the edit in Organizer - the edited version saves in version set. But if I go out to PSE for edits and save edited version, a version set is not created. Using Save command in PSE and the "Save as Version Set with Original" box is checked. Have closed Organizer and reopened, also ran the repair catalog in Organizer, but no change.
Thanks,

Same issue here. Some files it works, some not. I cannot find any elements that would be causing this. I thought the file name could be too long, or contain special characters, but I have been able to make it work in some cases.
I'm not sure forums are monitored so I guess we're just out waiting for an update that would miraculously correct this...
In the mean time, when you do edit within an album, the edited files gets added to the catalog but not to the album, which is left with just the original. Very unuseful...
In the hope that someone will find a solution to this.

Can you please help solve my sudden problem saving photos in version sets?

Saving edited photos in Version Set
Ever since I have owned the excellent Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0, I have saved edited photos in a version set with the original. Now, in spite of the 'save in Version Set' box being ticked, they are saved separately. When the edited photo is saved, it says 'imported from hard disk'. It has never said this before.
When the photos are imported from the camera, they are saved in Adobe/Digital Camera Photos/code provided by photoshop (eg 2006-03-10-1632-38). Under properties/history it says imported from Panasonic DMZ-TZ3. This has not changed. All the saving arrangements appear to be unchanged.
Photos (thousands!) have been successfully edited and saved in a Version Set. Under properties/history it says 'edited version' and 'imported from Panasonic DMZ-TZ3'.
Suddenly, photos that have been edited and should have been saved in a version set, now say under properties/history nothing about being edited. They say 'imported from hard disk'. In other words they are being treated as a new photo.
I really hope you can help me to solve this infuriating problem. Please ask if you need more information.
I work on a PC with Windows XP

Michael: are you still using an old version o0f PSE (e.g. PSE V4)? Problems similar to the one that you described are relatively frequent in old PSE Versions ( I was suffering a lot from them)..... and there are quite seldom in newer PSE versions. Unfortunately, I do not remember which PSE Version became much better in this area (was it V5? or V6?)
If using an older PSE version and encoutering often the problem: consider to migrate to a newer PSE Version..

PSE5 Not saving in version sets

How do I get edits to save in version sets with the original (RAW) file. I am using PSE5 on a Windows PC. This used to work fined but not since reinstallion. I have 800+ RAW files to work on and want to use version sets as I used to but whatever I do it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
Can anyone help?
