Elements Organizer 11 screen flashes

After installing the license key in Photoshop Elements 11, Organizer makes my screen flash from normal to black at a rate of once every one to two seconds. I am running on Windows 8 and my graphics card is NVidia GTX650. Windows, my graphics card and Photoshop are all updated to the latest versions. Other system info below.

This looks like it would be the perfect answer to my problem, except that the file mentioned - status.dat - does not exist anywhere on my computer.
In the meantime, my husband appears to have found a way to make iPhoto call up Elements Editor to edit photos. So I'm going to go that route.
I may even be able to free up some hard drive space by not having to maintain two complete photo libraries - one in iPhoto and another in Organizer.

Elements 10 organizer Full Screen Previews

Hello, i have a question to ask about the full screen previews of very big photos in size (2mb and above 3000k + res or maybe even smaller) on 15.6 Inch laptop (not quite sure if it is related to my own screen size 1366x768 - i think it's not)
You see, if i go normaly into a folder and start a full screen preview of those same pictures i get them in what i think is a process of puting some AA to the picture so that even on a small screen i don't get the jaggies on the edges and overall bad quality. Quite the irony since the picture is in extremely good quality but viewed on a small res screen. Now i might be wrong about the AA but never mind i think you get the point what im talking about.
The problem is in elements organizer if i enter the full screen preview big photos have those jaggies and are not applied with the AA i talked about earlier. A Funny thing is that when im not in the full preview the very same photos are in very good quality. Can i transfer that process to the full preview ? I really don't want to view my photos in windows default preview. Also if in full screen i try to zoom those pictures i get some nice choopy slowdowns on my i3-370M 2,4GHz, 4GB ram DDR3 and AMD 6550M HD in Win7 64 bit. Strange since i don't have those in windows default but maybe that related to all the processing you can apply to the picture when viewing it in organizer so it's not a big deal.
To put it simple is there any option so that i can view my albums in organizer (full screen) with the quality of a normal preview. Thanks very much.

Thanks for a quick answer but that doesn't work for me. I see the actual shortcut to the full screen view and edit is F11. I used mouse or a button earlier. If i use F11 on one photo or more it's still the same image quality. I did a little comparision and even in the normal preview there is a difference with the windows normal preview. Let me show you i did 2 screenshoots:
This is the Elements Organizer 10 Preview :

This is the Windows Preview:

You see how the second picture is more blured than the first one. Now i know that for editing the actual pixels and sharper more crisp image is better, but for viewing (showing albums to my family ) is more better if blured and the picture looks great no matter it's size. Can this be made possible within the Elements Organizer preferences. I did set preview size to maximum which for me is 1280x960 (max allowed). Don't know what else i can do. If at the end it can't be made different, il need to use the default windows
EDIT: i can't embed the images on the forum so up are direct links.

Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!

Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
(I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

- Update:
* Adobe's senior support level has replied to me about this issue as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Adobe.
When you press the F11 button, Organizer 11 uses the Bicubic
interpolation mainly because it is less processor intensive compared to
Bicubic Sharper, and it helps to create the preview on the fly, rather
than based on the thumbnail cache.
When you zoom out from the 100% view, Elements Organizer uses Bicubic
Sharper. This is because Bicubic Sharper is used for image reduction, so
if the 100% view is larger than the available screen space, it will need
to shrink. The Bicubic Sharper images may look more crisp however, Like
any sharpening algorithm, Bicubic Sharper introduces halos and
edge-enhancement artifacts. Those halos are typically slight, but any
further sharpening (which you'll need when preparing an image for print,
for example) will exaggerate them.This is expected behavior. The
Organizer isn't great for determining exact quality, I recommend you to
use Elements Editor for this purpose.
Thank you,
Bobby Johnson,
Adobe Technical Support."
* My reply on this to Adobe is:
"Hello Bobby,
thank you for your reply. Now at least we are talking about the same thing.
Why I am wondering about the choice to use the "Bicubic" algorithm when pressing F11 in PSE 11 is that all previous versions of PSE that I owned (which spans from PSE 6 to PSE 10) did use the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm right away when pressing F11. So apparently Adobe didn't worry about processor intensity of this algorithm then, and computers are getting all the time more powerful.
It is true that in some situations, the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may introduce halos and edge-enhancement artifacts, as you write. On the other hand, especially on smaller resolution screens, the results of the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may look more crisp and lively, while the ones of the "Bicubic" algorithm may look more flat and lack fine detail. This is not only my personal opinion, but as I have brought up this topic in several forums, I can see that I am not alone here.
So assuming that the question about preferring "Bicubic Sharper" or "Bicubic" as a default algorithm when pressing F11 is partly a matter of taste, and partly a matter of the hardware the user has available, why can Abobe not give the user an option to choose which one he/she would prefer? For instance, F11 gives full screen view with "Bicubic" applied, and CTRL+F11 with "Bicubic sharper"? Or make this an option in the preferences?
As I am using the PSE organizer also to present pictures to other people (and I know many people who use it that way too), I would like to show them my pictures as sharp and detail-rich as possible. Therefore, I would highly appreciate an option as described above to be implemented in the PSE 11 organizer via an update. It should be fairly easy from a programming point of view, since both algorithms are already contained in the program anyway."
* If you support this suggestion of mine as stated above, please also contact Adobe accordingly! The more support requests they get for this, the more likely it is that they will implement this update! You may mention my case number 0184046323 for reference.

PSE7 Organizer does not start properly, screen flashes, PC stops

Hello. I can't find this problem mentioned on the forum.
I've used PSE4 and 5 in the past without problems. Have just completed a clean install of PSE7 (no PS or PSE previously installed on this system, a ThinkPad T60 with 2MB). The Editor runs fine.
I ran the Organizer once, set some preferences, pointed it at a small number of images to import, then the whole screen started flashing and soon my system stopped in its tracks - no blue screen.
Now, when I try and start the Organizer, it spends maybe half a minute "Generating thumbnails" without success (all the thumbnails have egg timers on them). It uses 50% CPU. It still says "Generating thumbnails" after half a minute or so when the screen starts flashing and the system crashes again.
Any ideas?

Fixed. Thank you John.
I renamed the preferences file but that made no difference.
So I repaired the catalog (errors were found) and optimized it. When I started the Organizer, thumbnails were displayed (that's progress) but then the screen-flashing started again (whole screen, as usual, not just the Organizer window). Before I could close the Organizer, my system stopped with a blank, black screen, and no response to any input. I had to hold the power button to power down. On reboot, it blue-screened. On next reboot it started normally.
So I created a new catalog and the Organizer started fine. Then I set it off getting photos from a folder of folders of jpegs (with the odd txt and other file type). After a few seconds, the screen-flashing started again, and I quickly closed the Organizer.
When I restarted it, the catalog was empty, so I had it get just one folder of photos at a time. On the very last one, the problem started again. I found an AVI file that I'd overlooked, removed it, and the problem went away. The AVI was one I recorded on a digital compact.
The Help for Organizer says:
"The Organizer catalogs video AVI files properly, but audio AVI files are shown as broken video thumbnail icons. However, they will play correctly."
Hmmm...doesn't seem to be the case for me. Even if AVIs were unsupported or known to cause problems, I would never expect to see the symptoms I did.
Hopefully my experience will help others. Incidentally, I run XP Pro SP3, fully updated.

Elements Organizer Menu Off Screen Mac OS X

Photoshop elements organizer was loading and I was changing the size of the window. The program was kind of freezing and the top of the window got dragged off screen. Nothing I have tried has gotten the window to its regular size. I have tried changing the computers resolution, closing the program, reopening it, and restarting the computer. I don't have the option of using the window > zoom. Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thanks!

Elements Organizer 8 crashes after displaying initial screen

I have been using Elements 8 for over a year under XP and more recently W7.My catalogue has about 22k entries
For the last few days I have been experiencing a serious crash problem. If I launch the main screen and select Organize, the program starts, then crashes 5-20 seconds after an initial screen showing a screenful of thumbnails appears. The editor works OK.
Following some research on this forum and elsewhere I have tried numerous experiments (re-installing, launching directly with shift key, deleting prefs,disabling auto-analyzer, checking catalog by loading into trial version of Lightroom,,,), without success.
The only semi-workround I've found is to launch the organizer directly with the shift key, then rename the catalog and open it. Sometimes this keeps the program alive for a while. But it crashes again if I try to start up 'normally'.
Do these clues ring any bells? Especially with those at Adobe who know the product architecture?

Hi e james w west,
Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
As I understand you are not able to work with Elements Organizer 12.
It seems that the old catalog has gone bad.
Please rename the old catalog as old.catalog name in the following location ;
All Users: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Catalog Name
Current User: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Catalog Name
After this you can try to launch Elements Organizer and it will ask to create a new catalog, please create a new one.
Let us Know if this helps or not.
Regards,
Sandeep

Elements Organizer crashes as soon as it starts

On my desktop I cannot run Elements Organizer. I have tried running it from PRE and from PSE and also running it directly by running PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe. Organizer starts and quickly flashes the blue start screen and then immediately crashes to the error report.
I have seen the suggestions to switch off Auo Analyzer, but this is not possible because this is an option inside of Organizer.
I tried these apps on my Notebook and everything works fine, so I am sure that my installation software is not corrupt.
I have un/re-installed. I have updated my nVidia drivers. I have closed down all other running utilities without success.
Everything else on my desktop computer is running beautifully, so I cannot imagine what is causing this problem?

Okay, here is the fix that worked for me. I found this on the website.
If a photo upload to an online service fails, the Organizer may then crash every time you try to restart it. Reinstalling has no effect. To troubleshoot this, start the Organizer and let it crash. Then check the contents of the file:PSE 8 XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username [mine was Administrator]\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\v.8\Organizer\log.txt
If the last line of the text is "Initializing OLS" then you have a problem.
To fix it:
Close all open applications.
In Windows Explorer for Windows XP, Navigate to C:Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Date\Adobe\Online Services.
Delete the Photoshop Elements 7.0.0 folder.
Open the Photoshop Elements 7 Organizer. The program will re-create the Photoshop Elements 7.0.0 folder and the online services data files.
Good luck. It worked for me - and I am definitely not a techie!!

Photoshop Elements Organizer/Editor Hanging on Startup

When I open Photoshop Elements 10 from the start menu, it takes about 3 minutes for the first welcome screen to appear. If I select to open the editor from the welcome screen, or by right-clicking a file in Windows Explorer and selecting 'Open with...Photoshop', the program opens, the image populates on the canvas, and within a few seconds the program hangs for about 3-5 minutes (fades out, title bar says (Not Responding)). I have tried adding 127.0.0.1 etc. to the host file, removing FastCore, MMX, and a third .8BX file I can't recall at the moment, opening with administrative privileges, and changing my default printer to a dummy local printer, to no avail. Has anyone had similar problems? I suspect the issue has something to do with the 'Initializing Main Interface...' item in the C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\10.0\Organizer\log.txt taking 168,000 units (ms?) of time to execute, but I'm not sure.

Try renaming the folder "Elements Organizer" and "Online Services". These folder are present at C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe for Win 7.
After renaming these folders, application should launch without crashing. For Win XP they are present at correponding location for current user.

Elements Organizer (photoshop elements 11) stops working and shuts the program down.

I have had Photoshop Elements for several years - first used version 3   then 8 (lost in the 2010 Nashville Flood) bought 9 last year) - then 11 purchased in Dec 2012.
I had trouble installing 11 (Premier and photoshop kept locking up in the install process)   finally installed after 8 hours of problems when I did a clean boot uninstalled Virus protection etc.
Very Frustrating. Installing on HP Pavilion purchased after the flood - 3gigs ram - windows 7 operating system. I have over 2000 pics and HD video clips on the hard drive and during the final installation the files were (converted) according to the install
I tried the "Online Chat" and was cut off
I've been unable to use the new Organizer since it shuts down.   Tried several times over several days with the same results.
Today I transfered a number of photos (jpeg) from Zip drive to the hard drive - followed the instructions on page 9 of the all too brief booklet and
- the pics came up on the screen --HOORAY
UNFORTUNATELY THE CELEBRATION WAS PREMATURE - Organizer stopped AGAIN   HELP!!!

1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Organizer.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete settings file; click Yes. It will open with default preferences.
Solution 3:
Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
Hold down the Shift key and click Organizer . Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
Select your catalog and click Repair. Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails. Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
Please delete the following files from the location : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\9.0\Organizer
psa.prf
status.dat
Now go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\ and run the exe PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe with Admin rights.
If you are on MAC, you will get the files psa.prf and status.dat at ~/library/app support/adobe/elements organizer/9.0/organizer. Post deleting them try launching Organizer.
try and let me know your comments.

Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

Hello:
Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
Good luck,
Hunt

.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.

Photoshop Elements 10 Edit Screen won't load

Photoshop Elements 10 Edit Screen won't load. It was working fine, then I responded to an Adobe Update. It stopped working. I re-installed Photoshop Elements 10 for MAC from the purchased Disc. The organizer works but not the editor. The organizer is not able to call the Editor either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice. I cannot get the editor to load it's editing screen or any images.
I'm really stuck.

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist

repair permissions and try again.
Note: In lion, that library is hidden. In the finder, click the Go menu and then hold down the Option key to make it appear.

Maintaining proportions with full screen flash

hi, I have a flash site set up that allows a mc in the
background containing various images to always take up the full
browser window while the foreground elements remain unchanged. What
I would like to do is keep the background images from distorting
when the window is resized...a good example of this is on
redtettemer.com - it maintains proportions and just cuts off at the
bottom or side if it would cause any distortion.
this is the current code I have on frame 1:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
var stageListener:Object = new Object ();
stageListener.onResize = positionContent;
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
function positionContent():Void {
portfolio_bg._width = Stage.width;
portfolio_bg._height = Stage.height;
positionContent();
can anyone help with this?
thanks

No, like cberube said, the graphics aren't corrupt/garbled at all.
The frame rate of the flash video when full screened is the problem here. It has to be something related to OSX and the Adobe Flash player built into the browser. I tried this in both Safari and Firefox to isolate the browser as a variable in the problem.
No matter the quality of the flash vid (it could be an HD TV show from hulu, or it could be some crappy youtube vid) the frame rate will drop massively if you select full screen, but return to normal "smooth" rate when you exit full screen. The only way to fix this is to uncheck "Enable Hardware acceleration" by right clicking on the flash video and entering the flash player settings within the browser.
This is only a work-around as unchecking hardware acceleration means your CPU must now work harder to render the graphics since it seems the OSX on-board graphics unit isn't capable of handling it. Normally, if this happened, OSX would activate the NVIDIA gpu which should be more than capable of rendering a full screen flash video without breaking a sweat. This doesn't seem to be occurring though.
Hopefully this is a clearer description of the problem.

Why doesPhotoshop Elements Organizer opens when I click on Adobe Photoshop?

I'm using a MacBook Pro and each time I try to open Adobe Photoshop Elements, the icon for both it and Photoshop Elements Organizer pop up on the menu bar. If I click on APS Elements, it doesn't open, but the Organizer opens instead. This is a new phenomenon. I used to be able to just open Elements. What can I do to make this quit happening?

It depends on what version you are using. In PSE 10 and 11 you can change this "phenomenon" by going to the welcome screen and changing the settings to as shown in this picture:
If you tell us what version you are using, we can give you more info how to get the welcome screen if you are not getting it.
I don't use Mac so I can't help you further.
Good luck.

Unable to add a new Place in Version 13 of Premier Elements Organizer

Hi,
I am using the trial version of Premier Elements Organizer, which I am planning on purchasing if I can get this issue resolved. When I click on the "Add Places" button at the bottom of the screen AND when I click on the green plus button and "Add New Place" on the Places panel the program locks up and I receive the "Program Not Responding" message from Windows 8.1. I've clicked the "Wait for the program to respond" and have waited over 5 minutes and nothing happens.
This doesn't happen in the Photoshop Elements Organizer; however, all I need is the Organizer and Video Editing so I have switched to Premier Elements.
Thank you,
Andrea

Glad all seems to have worked out for you.
I was about to go into...
Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products that come with the Elements Organizer 13.
When they are on the same computer, they share the same Elements Organizer 13 catalog.
So your suggestion that you got different Elements Organizer 13 results depending on whether you started on the Photoshop
Elements 13 versus Premiere Elements 13 side of things was challenging.
Best wishes
