Elements Organizer 11 - Instant Fix - File Save Size

Hi,
I'm looking for some help with the size of the resultant file from the "Instant Fix" option in Elements 11 Organizer.
If I use the "Instant Fix" option on a 10MB JPEG file, I end up with a 1MB JPEG file as the result !
Why?
If I can control this, then please let me know where the option is hiding.
If I carry out the same kind of operation with the "Smart Fix" option in the Elements 11 Editor, the resultant file is around the same size as the original...10MB.
I would prefer to use the Elements Organizer option for this kind of quick fix rather than have to fire up the editor every single time.
But I can't accept such a drastic reduction in image quality.
Any advice is most welcome!
Thanks.

I'm disappointed that two weeks later I haven't had a single reply.

  • Setting a fix file output size regardless of input file..How?

    I need to make several short movies that do not exceed 50MB in size as that is the limit set by my hosting company. Microsoft's movie allowed you to do this and would adjust the quality to suit. But how in Imovie?

    1. There is no reliable way of guessing the encoding of a file without that information. Thats why XML for example has very strict rules wrt. it's encoding (short form: use UTF-8 or UTF-16, if you use anything else, you'll have to specify it)
    2. you might be able to make an educated guess if the possible range of encodings is limited, but it will probably never be 100% certain
    3. The HTML file might have a header entry "<meta http-equiv..." that tells you about it's encoding. You could try to read the start of the file and see if you find that, then if you found it re-read the entire file.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Hot to force Premiere Elements Organizer to save my notes?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to force Premiere Elements Organizer (PEO) to save the notes I have typed in?
    I have been reviewing .AVI files all day.  I have summarize each file and written the summary in the notes field of the Premiere Elements Organizer (PEO) for each file.  I just went back to look at the notes I have made.  I found that many of them are totally blank now as though my work was never saved.  Much or all of my work is lost.
    How can I force PEO to save the changes I have made so I do not lose them all again?
    Am I doing something wrong that is preventing my work from being saved?
    It would be good if PEO had an "auto-save" feature that would save the state of things every so many minutes to prevent lost work.

  • Elements Organizer hangs on importing iPhoto library

    Hi all!
    I am trying to import my complete iPhoto library into the Elements Organizer. I chose file→import from iPhoto and it does start some copying process. Then it starts another copying process but stalls after about 10% is done. What also surprises me is that the command import from iPhoto doesn't show any dialogue with options to choose, like "convert albums into somethings". It just start a process. Is it possible that Elements Organizer doesn't support blank spaces as characters in file names? I think it stops when showing some image file I have that has a space character in the file name like "Cologne II.jpg"
    The Elements Organizer hangs so badly I have to force-quit out of it.
    I am using Elements Organizer 12.1 x64 on Mac OS 10.9.4 and iPhoto 9.5.1 (sharing a library with Aperture 3.5.1).

    And this is what it looks like. I have taken screen shots:
    First it does this until finished (100%):
    (It's German and it says, "3238 of 5748 files are being copied").
    Then comes a new window showing this:
    (This one says, "38 of 5748 element(s) imported")
    and then this just stops at 10% looking like this until I force-quit the Organizer:

  • Preimere Elements 10 - Organizer "Import to Elements Organizer" Not Working...

    APE v10

    Nothing has been manually added that is used to filter files from view.
    1. Import .mts files to organizer, all files import fine.
    2. Next time you open the folder (after closing Organizer and reopening) most of the time, not all videos show up now.

    4. Renaming the folder in Windows Explorer, then Open Organizer, all videos are reimported.
    The "Import to Elements Organizer" doesn't refresh files that don't show up in the view.

    How did those MTS files get into your computer in the first place? And are they are on your C or main drive or on a second or external drive?
    I always recommend opening a Premiere Elements project using the proper settings for that camcorder and then using the Get Media tool to open the capture tool or Video Importer.
    This often activates components for working with and viewing that video that aren't otherwise activated.
    And, of course, make sure you also have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

  • Photoshop Elements won't create a file, edit a file or save a file...

    Hello all,
    I just bought an Epson 600 scanner which came with a copy of Photoshop Elements (v7, but that's another question for another day).  Was working fine for awhile (a few weeks) but now I'm unable to edit any files.  This is on an Intel Mac Pro running Windows 7 (natively, not in VMWare) with 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM and terabytes of free disk space.
    Here's a sample sequence of events:
    1) Launch PE
         - Get selection screen for organize, Edit, Create, Share.
    2) Select Edit
         - Launches editing workspace normally
    3) Click File->Open
         - Get the file browser window with thumbnails (standard windows stuff)
    4) Click a TIF file (or a JPG file) and click Open
         - File browser window closes and I'm taken back to the editing view but there's no picture.  No sign that it did anything (all the menus that are greyed out when the editing screen is empty are still grey etc - including the File Save menu option)
    5) Try to drag a file into the editing workbench from windows explorer (either a TIF file or a JPG)
         - Same behavior - switches back to the workbench, but everything is still greyed out and the file isn't there.
    6) Try to create a new file
    7) Click File->New
         - New file dialog pops up asking me to name and size it
    8) Give it a random name and leave it at the default 6x4x300dpi and click OK
         - New file dialog goes away and returns me to the editing canvas, but it's still blank and all the menus remain greyed out
    I get the exact same behavior if I try "Open As" or "Open recently edited files" etc
    I AM running Symantec anti-virus and I've noticed some people mentioning that that can cause issues for Adobe, but turning it off really isn't an option.  So if there's some rule I need to set up to allow some background process to talk, that's fine but I can't just disable it to use PE.
    Is there any debugging log kept somewhere?  (I suppose I could check this site more thoroughly for that info)
    Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Try resetting the PSE preferences by
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
       3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    try and let me know your comments.

  • Elements Organizer 10 - no audio AND no thumbnails on AVCHD files

    Hi All,
    I'm running Elements Organizer 10, and am seeing some strange behavior in that, since upgrading to 10 (from 9)
    - none of my .mts files will play any sound in the Media Browser viewer and
    - new .mts files that I import into the catalog have no thumbnails
    The files do have thumbnails in Windows Explorer.
    I can play the files, with sound, using both VLC and Windows Media Player.
    Importing the files in Organizer 9 did generate thumbnails and playback with audio.
    Premiere Elements 10 does generate clip thumbnails and successfully plays audio, too.
    So - it seems to be somthing very specific to version 10 and the Organizer - not machine-wide.
    I noticed that playback in the Media Browser viewer invoked the Haali Media Splitter I have installed on my machine.  Thinking that might be the wrong codec, I uninstalled it.
    I could still play in VLC and WMP, but double-clicking in Organizer gave an error message that no appropriate codec was installed.
    So, I installed ffdshow to see if that avc codec could be used, still no luck.
    Reinstalled latest version of Haali, back to same behavior (no audio, no thumbnails) in Organizer - everything else working.
    So, I can work by dragging the clips from Organizer onto VLC so I can play the video with sound while tagging, but I'm concerned that it's not working and that whatever the base problem will manifest itself more seriously later.
    Any ideas? 
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for the input... 
    I did go back and confirm that I'm running the latest QT for my machine 7.7 (1680.34) according to the QT Player. 
    Just in case, I re-downloaded the QT Installer and Repaired the installation. No change in behavior in Organizer.
    I don't think it's QT that is used for AVCHD files, tho, is it? I tried to play my video in the QT player, and it won't play .mts...
    Also, as others suggested, I did attempt to 'activate' the AVCHD plugin - but, didn't get any new popups or dialogs (it might have happened when I originally installed and I didn't pay attention to it)...
    I had previously right-clicked on a clip in organizer and selected "Edit in Premiere Elements...", put the clip on the timeline, played and scanned thru the clip, saved the Project.  But, based on yours and the other suggestions, (I did this a few times with different clips) I created a new project, Get Media from Files and Folders, loaded a clip, dragged to timeline, played/scanned, double-clicked to bring up the previewer in Element - everything works as expected.
    Back to Organizer - same behavior as before.
    Uninstalled Haali again, and tried all of the 'plugin activation' steps again.  No change except Organizer still complains of not having the required codec.
    So - for some reason, the organizer thinks it should use the Haali Media splitter as the codec for avchd - everything else on my machine seems to be able to find a more suitable codec - vlc, wmp, pre all work fine.
    Did some more surfing on the forums, and found some references to Premiere Pro using the Haali media splitter (?). 
    So, one other piece of info - Prior to Elements 9, I did have Premiere Pro installed on this machine.  Very nice, but overkill for what I want to do.  So, I uninstalled it prior to installing Premiere Elements 9.  Everything worked fine w/ 9, but not with 10.
    So - is there some way to determine which codec Organizer is using and/or force it to use a specific one?
    Is it possible (seems likely with the symptoms) that there was some configuration file or registry entry left over from Pr that is now directing Organizer to use the same codec that it previously used (instead of the default)?
    Thanks all!!  Normally I'd be able to figure this out, but am pretty new to 'the inner workings' of Pre.
    Thanks,
          Scott

  • How do elements organizer and adobe photoshop elements relate? Unclear how/where to save edited photos

    I don't understand how elements organizer and adobe photoshop elements relate - how/where do I save edited photos?  I tried to save them on my hard drive and the result was a 65 MB file!!!  Not sure what I'm doing wrong :/ - maybe I'm saving the entire folder every time instead of just an individual photo?

    There is no standard field for faces. To transfer information you must put it in the standard place that the new program will use. That does not exist for faces. One work around would be to use keywords. You include the available metadata in a photo by checking all if the boxes when you export the photo(s). What the receiving program is determined by the authors of that program. All iPhoto can do is write what it offers to the IPTC &amp; EXIF fields which it will

  • Elements organizer 10 - which file retains the keyword structure?

    I have organized my photos in elements organizer 10, using keyword tags and sub categories on my desktop.  It works great, if I want to see all pictures associated with a particular keyword tag, I select it and all photos assoicated with that tag appear.
    the problem is this, I want the same scenario to work on my laptop.  I realize I can rebuild the structure on my laptop, but why take the considerable time to rebuild, if there is a file that contains the structure info and move it to my laptop.
    Am I asking too much?  I hope not.
    Thank you, Joseph

    No Joseph. That can be done easily. Click on the + icon next to the Keyword Tags panel. A flyout will open. Choose "Save Keyword tags to file" This will create an xml. You can port this xml to your laptop and save it say in Documents.
    Now, in Organize on your laptop, open the same flyout by clicking on the + icon and choose, "From File" option to import the same keyword tags hierarchy into the organizer catalog.
    Thanks

  • File is open in Elements Organizer Sync Agent10.0

    I have a catalog that is tied to Elements Organizer Sync Agent 10.0.  This causes thumb.5 cache to give an error process tied to another process when I try to do anything with this file.  I want to sync my catalog files to a second external hard drive..  I want to remove this .

    It’s normally for sharing albums or automatic back-up. Are you using on-line sync at photoshop.com?
    The simple and quick fix is right-clicking on that little Safe icon in the system tray (near the system clock) and choose Stop Backup/Synchronization.
    Or open the Organizer and click Edit >> Preferences >> Backup/Synchronization
    Make sure synch is switched off.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer failed during folder / file move

    I have a large image collection, in excess of 40,000.  I'm running on a PC with Windows 7 and all updates installed.  I just purchased PSE 11 to replace PSE 10. After installing PSE 11 I converted my catalog.  That seemed to go OK.  At that point I discovered that my C: drive was almost full so I decided to move my image collection from its C: drive location to an external hard drive that had sufficient capacity.  In order to ensure the integrity of the catalog I decided that I should use the PSE 11 Organizer to move the files.  This would allow the Organizer to update the location information for the files as it moved them, although it was clear that this would take many hours to complete.  So, using Organizer I did a "drag and drop" of my image collection's root file from the C: location to the external drive which happened to be the J: drive.  Organizer appeared to be running properly so I left it to continue overnight.  The next morning I discovered that only about 2/3 of the files had been moved.  There was a very cryptic message that said the opertion could not be completed because of "...possibly unsupported files types, files with read only attributes.." etc.  I did not write down the actual message and it did not tell me where in the transfer the failure occurred.  After doing some detective work I discovered that many folders and files had been copied to the J: drive that were not appearing in the Organizer catalog and consequently were not being displayed.  Some folders had only a portion of their files copied.  Fortunately, the files were still visible and cataloged on the C: drive.  I did look at my files on the C: drive and there were some that for what ever reason had read only attributes.
    I don't have a good guess as to what was actually the root cause of the problem, but here's how I think the file movement should happen.  The selected file, files, or folders should be copied to the specified destination.  At that point they should be added to the catalog, then the files should be deleted from their original location and the catalog updated accordingly.  If an original file is read only then it can't be deleted but the attempt to delete it should be reported as an inability to delete with no consequences imposed on the files that have been placed in their new location.  The "problem" should not be promoted to the status of a serious or fatal error that causes only partial completion of the overall operation.

    I've seen a couple postings in the forum that related to catalog conversion failures and suggested that they could be avoided by running in administrative mode.  When I did my conversion is was not in administrative mode and it's certainly possible that there were files with restrictive permission settings that screwed things up.  It's also fairly likely that the catalog itself had some issues that were not detected or fixed by running a catalog repair.
    That's something I had the opportunity to test today : after a fresh install of my second copy of PSE11 on another computer (Vista), I first restored without problem a PSE11 backup from the other computer (XP). Then I tried a restore for a catalog from a PSE6 version on the second computer. The conversion failed the first time and worked the second time when run as administrator. This time, I don't think there were file types problems, since that PSE6 catalog had been restored successfully on a PSE10 version some months ago. I really don't understand that 'administrator' problem, since all my files are situated in a second internal 1 Tb drive with full access for my account ?
    I am not sure about the details of your case, but I understand you have restored exactly the same tree structure in a new J: drive. Your catalog is always accessible in its original location.
    In that case it's possible to simply create a copy of your catalog (a simple copy of the folder containing the database catalog.pseXXdb - to be found in the help menu, system info). Then you need a sqlite database management tool (I use the add-on sqlite manager in Firefox) to simply edit a single record in a table containing the identification of all drives known to the catalog. You simply edit the letter and the serial number of the drive (DOS command VOL:).
    I had a case where I had a catalog and all the media on an external drive. That external drive was assigned a different letter in different computers. Either I used the above solution, or I had to reassign drive letters in one of the computers.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 11 crashes due to deadlock in the thread wait chain when creating thumbnails for *.mts (AVCHD) files

    Hi,
    the Elements Organizer 11 creates a deadlock in the wait chain when generating thumbnails for more than a handful of MTS (AVCHD) files.
    After importing AVCHD files from my Canon video camera, the organizer using default settings always crashes. I was able to narrow down the problem to be caused by thumbnail generating.
    After deactivating the automatic generation of thumbnails, the organizer does not crash any more upon launching .
    Of course, working without thumbnails is not very practical. The next resort is manual trigger of thumbnail generation by selecting "update thumbnail".
    If I manually trigger updating of thumbnails for files one by one, then it works for quite many files before crashing again.
    Selecting thumbnail update for multiple files at once has a much higher likelihood to crash.
    This does not seem to be related to particular file contents: a file that leads to crashing once may be flawlessly get a thumbnail created at the next attempt.
    The Windows event report looks as follows (German language Windows):

    My questions:
    - has anyone experienced the same problem?
    - is this a known issue with Organizer 11?
    - is the issue solved with Organizer 12?
    I have Premiere Elements 11, Photoshop Elements 11 installed and not experienced any other issues with these applications.
    Playback of said AVCHD (*.mts) files works flawlessly, i.e. I do not have any codec or performance issue on my PC.
    Deactivation of anti-virus software has no significant effect. I have excluded video directories from scanning anyways.
    Have deactivated face recognition, visual search and smart tagging in the organizer.
    Have also disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS.
    Using Windows XP compatibility settings for PSE somewhat improved the stability, but did not completely eliminate crashes.
    Additionally, it signnificantly slows down thumbnail generation and a progress indication window becomes visible during thumbnail generation, which is barely noticable in native Win 8.1 mode.
    Officially, Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1.
    There is a knowledgebase article related to Elements 6, which recommends to disable multi-threading and to enforce execution of Organizer on more than one core.
    This reduces the problem a little bit, but thumbnailing more than a handful of files still leads to crashing.
    By means of the task manager, I analyzed the wait chain of the process PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe:
    Every time the fault occurs, it is caused by a deadlock in the wait chain.
    For example:
    PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
    -- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932
    ---- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
    PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932
    -- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
    ---- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932

  • Max files in Photoshop Elements Organizer

    Hello,
    I have few questions:
    1/
    Following this thread, I am wondering what is the limit of PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8 ?? How many pictures can we insert into ONE catalog ?
    2/
    I currently have 6000 pictures that I would like to import into PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8, from Adobe PhotoShop Album V1.
    Is this possible ? I tried with the trial version, but I have an error when converting the .psa file from PhotoShop Album V1, asking me to try to consolidate or repair the file in the previous program (but it works well in PhotoShop Album V1).
    Any idea ?
    3/
    Is the trial version the same than the paid one ? I mean: if I start using the trial, inserting tags and so on, should I uninstall it when buying the full version or could I just buy a serial number and inserting it to unlock the trial ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Kamayana

    John,
    You are just MARVELOUS !!!! That's awesome: your website, the informations listed in it, the work you do here on the forum !!
    Wow !!! I will purchase this product just for your support. Can I pay you to obtain a support and pay you the software ? Lol
    You replied to all my questions !
    For 2/, I read before your FAQ (I thought it was Adobe FAQ, I did not pay attention to the URL), I tried it without success (excepted item 9/ which is not possible for me, since PhotoShop Album does not allow writing metadata to files, but maybe your small program can do it ?) ...
    But since I do not give up like that, I done the following, you might add it to your FAQ ?
    1/ I used the dichotomy method. I was sure that some files gave problems. So, my 6000 pictures have been separated into 6 albums (1000 each). Then, I run the converting tool on each one. All worked, excepted one. This one, I share into 500 pictures each. I run the tool on each one. One was OK, the other one fail. The one which fails has been separated in 250 pictures each... And so on. Until you see which pictures cause problems... In my case, it was some modified pictures (2 of them).
    Then, I eliminate this 2 pictures from my initial 6000 catalog, I do the import again, and... SUCCESS !!
    Hope it might help someone else.
