Elements 9 Organiser Thumbnails

Hi All
Im new to this forum. So would apprecite your help greatly.
I've been running this version of elements for 4 years now with no problems until recently.
When i open organiser now instead of seeing rows of small thumbnails as i used to i just get rows and rows of hour glasses. If I increase the size to 5 pictures per line then they do load up but very slowly. Also if i make them full screen they do load very slowly again. Until this problem started about a week ago I'd had no problem with elements at all.
I'm using elements 9 on an imac 3.06ghz intel core 3 with 12gb ram
Any Help is much appreciated as this is a catalog with over 11000 images and associated Tags

Hi Andaleeb
I've tried doing this and the problem is still the same, as soon as i reduce the size of the thumbnail to more than 5 per line in the organiser they just revert to hour glasses.
If I click on the hourglass the image is still there and loads up but very slowly compared to instantaneous as it used to.
I've checked all my Albums and the photos are still there but again if I reduce the size of the thumbnail they appear as hour glasses.
This problem as I said has only presented itself in the last couple of weeks.
I've tried reconnecting any corrupt files and no problems are showing up.
As you van imagine this problem is now becoming very frustrating.
Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re-Arranging Thumbnails In Adobe Elements 6 Organiser

Hi folks,
Is there a way of re-arranging the order of thumbnails in my Adobe Elements 6 organiser. When I uploaded all of my images to the organiser, for some reason they did not come out in the exact order I had them within my "my pictures" file on my pc so I want to shuffle them around. I've tried to drag them out of position but that doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas if this is possible?
Thanks
Ian

Ian,
Windows Explorer (which is probably what you used to look at the My Pictures folder) has a default sequence of File Name, whereas the Organizer primarily sequences photos based on date the photo was taken.
However, the Organizer does have a choice of viewing based on
b Folder Location
which will use File Name sequence.
So you could use Folder Location view, but I suggest that you post a description of how you want to use these photos for which you intend to modify their sequence.
The PSE 6 Organizer has a function called an
b Album
which can have whatever sequence you wish to establish by drag and drop. Whether that is the best choice for you will depend on your intended use.

Elements 8 Organiser will not load Photoshop as External Editor

For some years I've succesfully used Photoshop CS2 with Elements (various versions) Organiser as my photo file manager. The Organiser allowed me to select Photoshop as the external editor and subsequently accepted/managed the edited photos from Photoshop when I closed the file there. (I prefer the facilities of Organiser to those of Bridge; and other folk in the household prefer Elements Editor).
I recently upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 64bit. Initially Elements 8 Organiser (which is 32bit) continued to call up Photoshop (CS5) as the external editor but has now ceased to do so. There is still an option in Organiser's dropdown EDIT list to "Edit in Photoshop" and any thumbnails selected in the Organiser get the "being edited" label applied if I select the "Edit with Photoshop" option. However, Photoshop does not open; or, if I have Photoshop open already, the photos selected in Organiser do not appear in the Photoshop workspace for editing.
I cannot, either, find the "close external edit" option in Organiser. When I eventually close Organiser, it warns that I will lose any editing done with the external editor to those photos it thinks it has handed to Photoshop, even though there has not been any handover in fact.
I can chose, in Organiser, to edit the very same photos with Elements Editor, even though Organiser appears to think that they are currently being edited by Photoshop. If I do edit such a photo in Elements Editor then close it, the Organiser becomes happy and forgets it thought Photoshop was involved at all.
Is there some switch in a config file somewhere that I can throw to get the Organiser to actually call up Photoshop and hand it the file(s)? Or is this just an Adobe glitch? Any help or clues would be much appreciated.

Graham,
I have tried to persuade Elements Organiser to reconsider Photoshop as an external editor by going to the "Editing" section of Elements Preferences dialogues and specifying Photoshop.exe. However, no matter which version of Photoshop.exe I point at (64bit CS5, 32bit CS5 or even the old 32bit CS2) Elements tells me that it automatically already has Photoshop as an external editor and I don't need to specify it as such.
On trying to exit the Preferences/Editing dialogue, Elements then pops up another dialogue box that tells me that "The path you chose for the external editing application is invalid. Please correct the path or choose another external editor". I need to uncheck the "Use a supplementary editing application" to stop this box re-popping.
The Elements EDIT drop down menu still shows Photoshop as an available editing application. However, as described in the original post, Photoshop does not load or pick up any file specified for Photoshop editing within Elements Organiser.
I've also tried resetting Elements Organiser Preferences to their default. This does not make any difference to the problem either. There is an Organiser glitch I think. I am begining to think it will need a Registry fix ..... but of what I have no real idea; and it isn't a good idea to mess with the Registry in a haphazard way.
Perhaps I should try a reload of Elements from scratch, after saving my Catalogue file somewhere safe?

I tried to import a PDF of a line drawing into Photoshop Elements. The thumbnail looks fine, but when imported the file is empty. This used to work in the past. What is wrong and how do I solve this?

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)

Elements 9 Organiser

I have been using Elements 9 and my camera is the Nikon 7000. So far I have had no problems but now when I try to upload photos from my camera, the following mesage appears.
"Elements 9 Organiser encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information might be lost." Please advise!

What type of files are they and how are you importing?
Are you able to copy the photos from the storage card to a folder on your computer e.g. using a card reader rather than connecting the camera?
If so try using File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders

Elements 9 Organiser "Copy new files only" problem

Whenever I import pictures into Elements 9 Organiser it still imports pictures that I've previously imported even though in the Preferences "Copy new files only (ignore already imported files" is ticked. I have to deselect all the pictures and reselect the new ones. Never was a problem with Elements 5 & 6.
Any suggestions..??

In the download dialog box, have set any constants like owner or copyright fields?
Once you have downloaded the image for the first time, do you make any changes to the original in PSE?

How do I stop Elements 11 Organiser assuming JPG when editing using PS CS6

Hi,
I love the Elements 11 organiser but prefer to edit using PS CS6.
However, everytime I edit using PS CS6, the Elements organiser creates a JPG file.
If I save this as a PSD file, I have to manually trick Elements organiser into reconnecting to the PSD file by deleting the JPG from windows explorer and then manuall reconnecting the JPG to the PSD instead.
This is also the case if I want to just go straight into OnOne Perfect Photo Suite by setting it up as an external editing program.
Is there a way to change Elements organisers behaviour?
Thanks
Darren

I don't even need to do this as when you make changes and go to save, PS CS6 asks you to save and selects PSD by default (which I use).
The problem is the cleanup. The watch folder option will pick up the new photo but it does not associate it with the original as a version set so your window ends up getting cluttered. Also, subsequent edits generate a new file (e.g. photo-edited-2.psd) which is not nescessary when using PSDs due to the ability to turn layers on and off etc.
I am investigating Lightroom 4 and its organisational abilities and integration with PS CS6 and other plugins.
Thanks
Darren

.MTS files in elements organizer: no thumbnails, not playing

Some google searching shows that i´m not alone with this problem, but i haven´t found a solution.
.MTS files plays in premiere elements (lagging terribly though) but not in elements organizer, where i get this error message:
Updated quicktime as suggested, no improvement.
Source of .MTS files is a Panasonic G5.
Running W7 64 bit. same problems in both elements organizer 11 & 12.
If it was a codec issue i assume it would not play in Premier elements either?
Any suggestions?

Hi A.T.
1. I'm using Premiere Elements 9. I have an Asus laptop with windows 8.1
2. I believe i have the latest driver. I have Intel HD Graphics. I ran a check to look for updated drivers and it came back as saying I had the latest.
Background
I've only had the laptop since October so that's how long the program has been on the computer.
I was able to use it a few days ago. At that time I had been using video from the same camera but that time it I had saved it originally to the camera's internal memory. When I had the problem last night it was with video I had saved to a memory card. A message which I do not remember came up asking if I'd like to change the preset as my current settings didn't match the video format. I said yes and then nothing worked after that. I can't even view the project I did several days ago now either.
How I search for the presets? I've never changed these before.
It is AVCHD file type and 1080 but I am unfamiliar with the how to know anything further.

You put yourself at a disadvantage by tagging on to an older thread and not starting a new thread of your own. I just saw your post now.
So let us get to the troubleshooting...
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. This has all the symptoms of a display problem. Do you have the latest version of your video card/graphics card according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card? If so, we are going to need to delete the BadDrivers.txt file. But I need the information in "1" to tell you how to get there and do that.
Some background information please....
1. How long have you been working with this version on its current computer operating system?
2. How would you class this issue "It worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
3. What is your project preset?
4. What are the properties of this .mts files...AVCHD video compression? 1080i or 1080p or other?
More later in the morning.

Elements 12 Organiser

Just tried to open elements 12 organiser opens but as soon as media appears it closes down. Running windows 7

Restart the organizer while holding down the shift key, which should bring up the catalog manager. Navigate to your catalog and then Repair, then Optimize.

I have set up my photos in Adobe Elements 12 organiser and wish to download them to Snapfish in order to create a photobook, but it seems I am unable to do this. Adobe do not provide a hardcopy photobook service

I have set up my photos in Adobe Elements 12 organiser and wish to download them to Snapfish in order to create a photobook, but it seems I am unable to do this. Adobe do not provide a hardcopy photobook service. Can anyone help me please? I don't want to have to reformat all my photos. It has taken me the whole week to do it in Adobe Elements. I was unaware that Adobe no longer have this service as it misleadingly appears that they do.

You are in the wrong forum. We don't do Elements here.
This is the Photoshop proper forum. There's no "Organizer" (American spelling) in Photoshop.
The "Elements" forum is here:
Community: Photoshop Elements | Adobe Community
Incidentally you are not addressing Adobe here.
I've been using Adobe products for very, very close to 30 years, and I have never hear of an "Adobe photo book service".
