Elements Organizer 11.0 has no option to import my iPhoto library.

I have a MacBook 4,1, Mac OS 10.6.8, Photoshop Elements 11.0 and iPhoto 8.1 (iLife '09). Photoshop Elements Organizer 11.0 has no option anywhere to import my iPhoto library as described in the manual for Organizer 11. I've repaired my permissions, tried restarting multiple times and uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop Elements 11 and Organizer 11 with no luck. What am I doing wrong? Help!!!

If you have the latest version of both (iPhoto version 9.3 and Aperature 3.3) then you have no need to import the iPhoto library into Aperature as both iPhoto and Aperature can share the same library (so you do not duplicate your storage) -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260

I am so tired of iphoto crashing, losing work I've done. I want to switch to photoshop elements 10 but need to know if it uses the iphoto library or if I can import that library into elements

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Elements Organizer (v12) not displaying AVCHD video after import

I installed Premiere Elements 12 on my Windows 8 (x64) computer. After I import a MTS (AVCHD) video from either my camera and/or my hard disk,the audio plays but no video is displayed. The MTS file (video + audio) work fine in every other program on my computer, including the Premiere Elements video editor. The only place it doesn't work is in Elements Organizer. I can even preview the video in the "Get Videos and Pictures from Files and Folders" import window from Organizer.
After importing the MTS file into the video editor, I exported it to AVCHD and tried importing the Premiere created AVCHD file in to Organizer but no luck.
Seems like there's some kind of plug-in issue, but I can't find any info on that. The codec must be fine, because the MTS file play everywhere else.
Appreciate any help/insight.

Thank you so much! Although it's not exporting quite as clear as before, it's much, MUCH better now that I've corrected the timeline dominance - I'd say 95% better; and it will be re-compressed by my clients for web streaming so it doesn't need to be perfect - but the initial quality was garbage.
I suspect when I exported my T2i footage as a ProRes file, than imported into After Effects, then back into FCP something happened along the way that messed up the quality slightly. Although the only difference in my method between FCP5 and 7 was converting to ProRes; which I only did for editing purposes as the native T2i footage needs to be rendered... which ended up being redundant as all my After Effects work needed to be rendered anyway. Ho hum.
Do you think the ProRes conversion could account for the quality loss? It wasn't just the footage that was grainy/fuzzy, it was also the After Effects graphic work, which is why I didn't think the converstion could be the culprit. Hm. I'll have to look into this more!
Thanks again - and so sorry for my delayed reply, I went on vacation shortly after I posted that message and only just got back to this project now

What is the best option for storing my iphoto library on the cloud?

I was curious as to what people are doing (other than backing up to external HD) for backing up the iphoto library? Anyone using any cloud solution out there for storage? What are some of the best options? I have around 30,000 photos in my iphoto library.

There is no good solution for storing the Library in the Cloud. The amount of data involved means that uploading or downloading is very, very slow. We do see posts on here from people trying to restore from a back up to the Cloud wondering if it's possible to speed up the download currently estimated in days. Running a Library from the cloud is just painfully slow - people have tried it and that is the consensus.
However, as part of a comprehensive back up plan there is a lot to be said for backing up your Photos to the cloud. Not as good as backing up the whole Library, but as a "last line" you at least have your photos. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.

Crash report for elements organizer

I have a problem with photoshop elements 8 when I click on slideshow I get a crash report for Elements organizer. " Adobe has detected that the application elements organizer has unexpectedly quit". That't it I have tried different trouble shooting things but nothing has worked so far. I have windows xp. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

PSE 8 crashes on me too. I'm running XP SP3. I open up PSE 8 in the Organize mode with a small (2 pictures) test catalog and even if I don't do anything else, PSE 8 will crash in about 60 seconds with this error message: "Adobe has detected that the application Elements Organizer has unexpectedly quit". I've submitted about a dozen crash reports. I went through a bunch of Adobe's "knowledge base" articles trying to address this problem; I even re-installed PSE 8 -- all to no avail. The version on PSE 8 is "8.0.0.0". I'm guessing there's a bug in the Windows version of PSE 8 and Adobe needs to issue a patch to fix it. Let's see how long it takes Adobe to respond.
EDIT: The fix for the above problem was to disable the "Edit > Preferences > Auto-Analyzer Option > Recognize People Automatically" option. I found this fix in this Adobe forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2287072#2287072

FAQ: My files are missing from Elements Organizer, or How to reconnect your images?

What is Elements Organizer?
The Elements Organizer can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Orgnizer, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is an Elements Organizer catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Elements Organizer. When importing a file, the first thing Organizer does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and yourr catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Elements Organizer say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Elements Organizer, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Elements Organizer, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.
Where can I learn more?
Managing Files in Elements Organizer

Importing photos from a digital camera
Import photos from a previous version
Moving files
Hiding and deleting photos
Managing Catalogs in Elements Organizer
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
Troubleshoot catalog backup, upgrade | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
Freeze when you repair a catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 and later
Reconnecting Media in Elements Organizer
Reconnect missing files | Photoshop Elements | Windows
Can't edit, open, reconnect photos or media | Incorrect drive letter | Elements 6 or later Organizer | Windows

Anything besides reconnecting all the files, such as switching the drive letter (if that is even possible)?
The easiest way to fix this is to change the drive letter. Here are instructions for Windows 7: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/change-drive-letters-windows-7.htm
To prevent this from happening again, you can change the drive to some very high letter, like X:, and then it should remain constant. In Lightroom, right-click on the top level folder ,and select Find Missing Folder, and then point it to your X: drive.
I know I can "Import---Add to catalog" all the photos from my external hard drive back into the catalog but I do have a question:
I won't address your question specifically, since re-importing is a very bad idea. A very bad idea. You will lose information that is not in the sidecar files, such as collection members, edit history, flags, virtual copies, stacks and a few other things. Just don't go there. Change the drive letters, as I explained.

Import photos iPhoto - Photoshop Elements

Hello,
I'm using Photoshop Elements 12 trial version. I would buy it but i got one problem with the automatic import function in Photoshop Elements.
On the first start of Photoshop Elements, it asked me if I want to import all my photos from iPhoto. So I did import all photos.
In iPhoto my photos have been organizes like this:
> April (folder)
> Mai (folder)
     - Wohnung (event)
     - Exkursion Werder (event)
> Juni (folder)
> Juli (folder)
      - Exkursion Schweiz (event)
But now in Photoshop I got this:
> 20110908-192729 (folder)
> 20110908-192733 (folder)
> ... (and so on)
Is this really the way Photoshop Elements imports all my photos? Do I really have to organize all my thousands of photos again?

I wanted to use Photoshop Elements Organizer and Editor only and not continue to use iPhoto because it’s very slow.
Do you think it would be easier if I just continue to use iPhoto as the Organizer and use Photoshop Elements Editor as the editor?
Seems there is no way to import iPhoto albums and events to Photoshop Elements Organizer.

First of all, are you certain you want to ditch iphoto permanently? It's not necessary to do that unless you wish. So are you sure that you no longer want iphoto at all?

Import iPhoto library into Bridge (in mac Elements )

Hi, I am looking for a way to bring my iPhoto library into Elements 8 for Mac so that I can browse them in Bridge. The only way I saw to do that here in this forum is 'in PSE 8.0 File>Open. From the side panel of the "Open" window, select Photos under Media. Now from the menu that appears, select iPhoto. Now select the photos you want to import and click Open. Your selection will open up in PSE 8.0.'
I don't really want them in Elements, I want to browse my photos in Bridge. Do I really need to first import them into Elements?
Thanks in advance for any help in this.
Firislander

Hi ... You could consider downloading the Automator services to efficiently browse through the iphoto library from within any application.
Here's the link : http://www.macosxautomation.com/services/download/index.html
and download media picker services.
Once done: While in Bridge goto Finder>Services> and choose one of the options to browse the iphoto library.

TS1192 'Could not read the iPhoto Library. The library at [file path] has a corrupted AlbumData.xml file.'

Got this msh from Piasa...any ideas? 'Could not read the iPhoto Library. The library at [file path] has a corrupted AlbumData.xml file.'

Contact Adobe support - that is not an iPhoto message - in general Piasa has no ability to access the iPhoto library - there have been hacks but often they do not worka nd can cause problems
You need to user either Picasa or iPHoto - using both on the same photos is problematic

HT5260 No option to import iPhoto library to Aperture

I have just upgraded to the latest versions of aperture and iphoto (on 6th July 2012) and upgraded both libraries as instructed. Now I want to import my iphoto library into Aperture but when I selelct File>Import there is no specific option to import iPhoto library. I've seen this can be greyed out on other posts but on my aperture it was not there at all as an option.
I tried just import>library instead and selected the iphoto library. Everything was imported without another dialogue box to avoid importing duplicates (of which there are 1000s).
Can anyone help please?
I've tried restarting by the way! I've also got all the latest updates via software update

"Elements Organizer 12 has stopped working"

I bought PSE12 to fix this problem I had with PSE11, but it didn't, Immediately after accessing PSE12 Orhanizer, I get the Windows message saying "Elements Organizer 12 has stopped working". It then forces me to close the program.

Did you change the pref settings? If not give it a try.
Close Organizer and go to:
C:\Users\99jon\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\12.0\Organizer
Substitute your own user name or click the Windows start button
Then click your name followed by AppData
In the Organizer folder re-name the psa file as psa_old
Close the folder and re-launch Organizer
If you can’t see AppData it may be a hidden system file. Follow these steps to display hidden files and folders. Then rename psa.
Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.

Running elements organizer 12 on mavericks can't import iphoto files since the option doesn't show up

Running Mavericks 10.9.3 with iphoto 9 loaded Elements 12 and went to import iphoto files - but the import option doesn't some "from iphoto" and the file/getphotos and videos/from iphoto doesn't show - what is the issue

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying, but you probably don't want to use "from iphoto" anyway. That's only for when you want to import your entire iphoto library (like when you decide you want to use organizer instead).
The first question is what are you trying to do? Do you just want to open photos from iphoto into the PSE editor or do you want to import them into the organizer for something?

Elements Organizer 12 Has Stopped Working -- Why?

The program opens fine. Then, while sitting idle the organizer keeps crashing..... Why?

Two suggestions: the first one is a workaround. You just have to drill down your program file tree to Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer and find the .exe file - the one specifically for Organizer, not Elements. Make a shortcut to that file on your desktop and it will open Organizer. The second suggestion resolved the problem altogether for me. I actually called Dell and after working with several different techs over several different days, I talked to a tech in premium support who was excellent. I discovered from them that it is actually a problem with the windows system files. I have 8.1. I went through a "refresh" on my computer which rebuilt all the files. Then reinstalled Adobe as well as my other programs again and Photoshop Elements Organizer works from the standard desktop shortcut.

Elements Organizer 11.0 has no option to import my iPhoto library.
