Elements 8 when in file location view the thumbnail is not the right photo

When I click on a file folder location the thumbnail that opens in not the right photos for that file folder.  I have run catalog repair and optomized the catalog.  I don't know much about the database but think it must be messedup.  I need to move my photo's to a external hard drive as my laptop hard drive is full.  This is when I first saw this problem. I have moved only 8 photos.  I have a about 4500 photos and did not want to have to move them one at a time.  Also I store everything by date.  I have elements 8 and primiere 8 with windows 7

I am not sure how to do this but I do have more than one EHD that I could use.  I can backup to one hard drive and restore to another.  Will this move the catalog file from my internal hard drive to the EHD? If so what does that do to my internal hard drive that has the program files orginal installed on them.  Guess what I need is a step by step instructions as I have not done this before and don't want to loss everything but could reinsall if I have to.  If it come to that would like to have my photos on the EHD and upgrade my program to PSE 10. or maybe move to lightroom if that is a better program.  I am at a stand still as my internal hard drive can't hold any more.
First step is to create a backup on one of your external hard disks. This will be useful anyway, should you upgrade computer or PSE version later.
- create a new folder in the external disk.
- start the backup from the organizer file menu, choose a backup name and select the destination drive and the folder you created. Note the size of the backup to be sure you have enough space on the external disk. It's good to have twice the necessary space.
Wait for the message telling the backup is finished ; don't close the organizer too soon, this message does not appear immediately.
You can check if the backup is complete by looking into the destination folder. It should contain a backup.tly file.
This backup can be used to restore your catalog and image files either to the original location or any location on any disk.
Now, you are ready to restore your backup to another external drive.
Same as before, create a new folder with the name you want to give to the new catalog.
Run the menu restore and choose 'custom location'
The restore will create a new catalog of the name of the folder, and put both the files constituting the catalog and the folder structure of your image files in the folder you created.
As a result, you'll have a new catalog to be found in the catalog manager under 'custom location', which means it is situated on your second external hard drive.
If you want to move the catalog to the default location on your old drive, that's possible from the file menu of the organizer. This will move your catalog, not your image files. It's not necessary, but you can do it.
Nothing will be changed to your old computer, so you'll be able to compare the old and new catalogs and the original and the copies of your images.

    I have manipulated a photo using layers etc and then flattened it and saved it under a new name.  When I use 'Preview' (mac) to view the finished photo it doesn't look right.  It's as the layers have not flattened correctly.  When viewed in Elements 12 it looks OK.  The photo looks incorrect in other software such as photo books.
    Looking at the same photo before flattening, what is being shown is only the top layer.
    How do I correct this?

    The top layer is indeed the one that is visible, unless there is/are area(s) of translucency on that layer, so that you can visualize a portion of the subjacent layer.

    Are your settings targeted to have the printer manage colors, or, to have PSE manage colors?

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

    When importing files, my view window to search for files is really small, how do I make it bigger so I can actually search for files?

    How big this is depends on the size of your screen. On a 13" it is really small. But you can improve things a bit. Click the green button to make the import window fill the screen.
    Drag the area between the file list and the preview area up or down to increase one or the other:

    PS: we tries run Oracle as a privileged user other than System

    the network problem. How I can verify the privileged user access
    the network.
    we have portal 3.0.9.8.1 running on Windows 2000

    Thanks for the direction. I can upload same file through Oracle
    Portal "Add Item" user Interface. So I assume file is visible to
    the database. Notice the Portal uses wwv_additem.additem and
    wwv_add_wizard.edititem to upload file. Do they eventually use
    wwsbr_api.add_item and wwsbr_api.add_item_post_upload? What is
    syntax of reference file on remote drive?
    Thanks

  • Open file located in the HTMLResources with adobeDPS.dialogService.open()

    Is it possible to open file located in the HTMLResources with adobeDPS.dialogService.open()?
    Method adobeDPS.dialogService.open('http://www.google.com/') - works well, but it not support relative URLs
    I can make button in InDesign layout with url "HTMLResources/faq.html",
    but how to make HTML-button in web-overlay that opens file from HTMLResources in slideup webview?
    Thanks

    Hi, Why do you need to use HTMLResources?
    You can try use all HTML files (faq.html too) in web content.
    Do you want a lightbox effect, than your webcontent frame need to be the same size of page
    I believe that the results is quite similar.

  • Imovie crashes when i try to view the video full screen or export it. How do i fix this?

    iMovie crashes when i try to view the project full screen and export it. How do i fix this?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.
