Elements Organizer

Is there any way to sort videos in the organizer? The only options (that I see) are Date ascending and descending. I have a gopro and when you switch batteries the date resets to jaunuary third of 2009. So is it possible to sort by file name instead?

That's not likely to happen -- at least as far as this feature goes.
However, you may want to check out Picasa, from Google. It's a similar media file management system with some very nice added features!

  • Elements Organizer does not install when reinstalling PSE10

    I have a problem that I cannot seem to resolve. Previously Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 had been running flawlessly on my computer and was easily opened by clicking the desktop icon which had a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe" target. After uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop Elements 10, when I click on the Desktop icon to start the application, I get a dialog box that says "The item 'Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly". If I right click the Photoshop Elements 10 desktop icon and check properties, the Target says "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe". When I open Explorer and navigate to where the target says the application file should be, the "Elements 10 Organizer" directory does not exist. The only directory that does exist is the "Photoshop Elements 10" directory and it contains the 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe'. Yes if I click on that file the Editor opens, however when I try to load the Organizer workspace once the editor is open, it does not load because the entire folder and application is missing. I even tried searching the entire C-Drive to find the Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe file but it was nowhere to be found.
    To be specific, I had PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10 installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 computer. I decided to uninstall PSE8 & 9 because I had just purchased PSE12 and wanted to make room for the PSE12 installation. When I tried to first uninstall PSE8, the uninstaller stopped with the warning that PSE8 was installed in the same directory as PSE10. The uninstall then terminated when I clicked on OK. Next tried to uninstall PSE9 and received the same warning and uninstaller termination. The same thing happened when I tried to uninstall PSE10. Faced with the situation that all three products were installed in the same directory and would not uninstall individually, I found it necessary to uninstall all three applications manually according to the directions on the Adobe's knowledgebase.
    To uninstall PSE8, PSE9, & PSE10, first thing I did was create a system restore point which is something I always do just in case something goes wrong. Then starting with PSE8, I first printed out the Photoshop Elements Help "Manually remove Photoshop Elements 8 | Windows that I found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/826/cpsid_82673.html. Subsequently I printed out the directions for each product, PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10, are all on the Adobe website. Next I followed the directions contained in each article except for running the product uninstaller as I mentioned above and removed all three applications then rebooted my machine.
    Next I reinstalled PSE10 and tried to open it only to find that it did not fully install especially the Elements Organizer. As mentioned you can open the Editor by going directly to the executable file however you cannot access the Organizer because it did not install and cannot be found anywhere on the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PSE10 five time now each time using the product Uninstaller plus the "Manually remove PSE10" directions and I still cannot get the Elements Organizer to install.
    My question is does Adobe have a utility that can be run after manually installing a specific product that would find registry entries that were not removed after completing the manual removal process? The problem I see is the manual removal process which shows possible registry entries to remove manually is built on the assumption that you were able to run the Uninstaller which is not the case with my problem.
    Secondly does anyone have any suggestions on how to install both the PSE10 Organizer and Editor?

    I believe I found a solution but I need help in changing some of the parameters to reflect for a United States program install.
    If you go to "Elements 10 Organizer is not installed [SOLUTION]" at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4745941 you will note the Poster says it is possible to force the install of Elements Organizer 10 by using the command line:
    msiexec /i "E:\Adobe Photoshop Elements 10\ElementsOrganizer\Elements 10 Organizer.msi" TRANSFORMS=1031.mst ELEMENTS_DE_DE=1 ORGANIZER_DE_DE=1 STARTWATCHSERVICE=1 SUPPRESSREBOOT=0 NOT_STANDALONE=1 /l*v "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OrganizerInstall.log".
    I found that the above command line input does in fact start the setup for the PSE10 "Elements Organizer" Installer except it is in a language other than English.
    Is there anyone familiar enough with coding and command line prompts to change whatever paramenters are necessary to have the installer run in English.
    Hopefully there are some Adobe Staff monitoring this message that can answer the question for me.

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10 while keeping the tags attached?

    I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
    From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea-417df45c129593bfa05 -8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
    "Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
    When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
    There was a previous question put out on the forums similar to this but it was unresolved and the person decided to just leave everything in iPhoto. I really would prefer to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer. I don't like the way iPhoto organizes photos but I had to deal with it for several years before I bought Elements Photoshop with built-in Organizer.
    Please Please help!
    Many thanks
    D.M.

    You don't import one library to another.  Just copy the library from the iBook to the Pictures folder on shout new MacBook Pro. If you have another library already on the MBP rename it so you don't overwrite it with the old library.
    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and let iPhoto convert it to the new version.
    Do you have photos in the library on the new MacBook Pro that you want to combine with the older library?

  • How to export photos from Elements Organizer on Mac?

    I saw someone asked the same question and it seemed not to be possible with the Mac version. Surely this can't be possible as this must be one of the single most important functions in an Archving system.

    The problem is I can't move them to a new folder. If I could I wouldn't have the export problem. I just dragging and dropping but it doesn't work. I have made a selection (15) of photos in Elements Organizer but I can't identify which ones they are (from 300) in the Mac Finder app (= Windows Explorer).
    Sorry, I can't test that on a Mac, but I thought that 'Windows only' features would be stated on the Adobe pdf help file, and moving file is not mentionned as Windows only, whereas 'export' is clearly stated as Windows only.

  • What is new in Photoshop elements organizer

    Are there any changes to the photoshop elements organizer from version 8 to 9

    I agree.  In some ways it is a real step backward.  I would not recommend "upgrading" to
    PSE9 based on one day of working with it.  Lost the ability to see all files in folder view and it is
    EXTREMELY SLOW.
    I really wish I hadn't changed to PSE9 and converted my catalog, which it didn't fully convert properly.
    Stay away from this upgrade!

  • How do I uninstall Elements Organizer while keeping Elements.

    Organizer has messed up the alphabetical sorting of my thousands of files even while viewing them with Picasa viewer.
    This is truly unbelievable.
    So far, the thousands of Google hits concerning uninstalling Organizer have returned either asinine replies or Rube Goldberg contraptions.
    I'm a newbie in Elements/Organizer after deciding to go the paid way instead of using GIMP/Picasa and other freebies for I don't know how long..
    What a disapointment! What a let-down!

    You can't uninstall the organizer and keep the editor, but you don't have to use the organizer. Many people don't. Just use file>open in the editor instead.

  • Window 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD card into Organizer

    After installing Windows 8.1, I am no longer able to import pictures from SD card into Organizer as Elements simply stops working after Import from Card reader is selected. Obviously I am shutdown from importing pictures.

    Windows 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD Card in card reader into Elements Organizer. The Elements Program goes to a blue circle and the program times out.
    I have:
    Tried different SD cards
    Tried different card readers,
    I can import off files or folders. However card reader does not show up on this menu within Elements.
    There is obviously some workaround that could be contemplated BUT Elements Organizer cannot import from SD card in card reader and this is a very inconvenient situation.  It worked fine in Windows 8.0.
    I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.

  • 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):
    Name der fehlerhaften Anwendung: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe, Version: 11.0.0.0, Zeitstempel: 0x505e9f67

    Vollständiger Name des fehlerhaften Pakets:
    Anwendungs-ID, die relativ zum fehlerhaften Paket ist:
    Occasionally, a different module is listed as erroneous instead of msvcrt.dll.
    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

  • 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.

  • Lightroom versus PhotoShop Elements Organizer and Bridge

    This is directed to the Adobe Developer Team
    I hope someone of the Developer team is reading this!!
    For my understanding the three products out of one house (PhotoShop Elements Organizer, Bridge and Lightroom) doing about the same, should ...
    work the same (same idea, same behaviour, organizing by path/subfolders instead of cataloges etc.)
    maintain the same database and files (LR should recognize the collections from BR and Vice Versa, use the same cache files etc.) and should
    be compatible to each other (e.g. Tags, Collections etc)
    Actually I suggest ADOBE
    to eliminate Organizer and integrate the good functions into BRIDGE (e.g. albums, upload to flickr, webpage generation etc)
    give BRIDGE as the free of charge picture organizer to PS Elements and to PS CS
    change LIGHTROOM into an payable upgrade of BRIDGE with enhanced functionality of the free of charge BRIDGE, (which can work as a stand-alone software as it does today
    better integration of PSE, PS CS into Bridge/Lightroom (e.g. Panaorama function opens only PS CS but the version of PSE works much better, so I want to choose in the menu of Bridge/Lightroom)
    I am really struggling with the three of them.
    Beside that I suggest to get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom with it's import/export and synchronization needs and instead use or at least integrate the idea of BRIDGE to get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders, as this is anyhow how the way pictures are stored already for most of us... I asume. I doubt that anybody just throw all files into one big subdirectory and get the organized into cataloges. But please keep collections as they are helpful to quickly collect some pictures to commonly work on them. by drag & drop. The Catalogues of LR drives me crazy but LR have a lot of nice functions (e.g. Webupload interfaces to flickr and others, nice noice reduction, nice albums and webpage functions, etc.)
    Thanks
    Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year
    Georg
    PS: Please all of you comment your experience and opinion on this matter ... I am interested what you think about it.

    Hi George,
    Whereas Bridge and Photoshop Elements (and most non-LR users) base their organisation on the file / folder structure, Lightroom uses files / folders simply for storage - the catalog is used for organisation. This 'catalog based approach' provides far more flexibility, both in organisation, and in recording a complete, fully-reversible record of all edits made to each photograph.
    To suggest that Adobe "get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom" and "get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders" would remove almost ALL advantages Lightroom has over Bridge & PS Elements combined. To fully appreciate Lightroom, you need to appreciate that files and folders are not the only way to organise photos. Why not watch a few of the Adobe Lightroom Tutorial videos? This link below takes you to a video explaining about the Catalog;
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
    However, if you really want Adobe to hear your views, why not raise a Feature request with them, at this link below;
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    I'm sure if you call your feature request 'Remove Catalog from Lightroom, and organise by Folders instead', it'll get noticed, as will any forum posts of the same name...
    Cheers,
    Alan

  • Moving images from iPhoto 11 to Photoshop Elements Organizer

    I understand that iPhoto 11 kept all images within the iPhoto Library.  In order to move them into the Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer, they must be moved to the hard drive of the Mac and then imported into Elements 12 Organizer.
    Is there any way to do this in one step?
    Mary Lou

    If you want to keep the photos organized by the Events they are currently in use this export setup:
    If you want to keep the keywords, titles and descriptions added in iPhoto change Kind to JPEG and set JPEG Quality to Maximum and check both checkboxes.

  • Using Elements Organizer with Photoshop CS2

    I have grown comfortable with Photoshop Elements integrated organizer and have upgraded to Photoshop CS2 and instead of using the CS2 file manager would like to continue to use the Elements organizer. The problem Im having is when I edit a photo in CS2 and save it, I have to go find the edited file in Elements organizer and add it manually to the organizer, where if I edit in Photoshop elements, the file is automatically added in the organizer for me. Is there something I can do to make this more automatic when I edit in CS2?
    Thanks
    Joe

    Joe,
    I have all the current updates for both products, but other than that, I've
    done nothing special.
    For regular file types (jpg, psd, etc.) the handshake goes without a hitch.
    Raw files act a little quirky. Raw files do get passed from Organizer to
    CS2 and they open in camera raw. But, I've found that if you don't press
    the "open" button in camera raw, CS2 will give you an error message that
    says it couldn't receive the document from "Photoshop Album". Click ok on
    that message and you get another that says it could not complete the update
    from the Photoshop Album command because of a program error.
    If, I press "open" in the camera raw dialog to edit in CS2, all is fine. If
    I make changes and save, Organizer pops up a message saying I've returned to
    Organizer and gives me an option to add to a version set or keep it
    separate. It adds to the version set fine. But, since I only selected save
    in CS2, it remains open there. If I make further edits to the open file and
    save, I have to manually update the organizer thumbnail. On the other hand,
    if I just click close and respond yes to the "save changes" message , I get
    two popups -- one labled "edited file from Photoshop" and "new edited file".
    If I click "ok" on both, I get two entries in the version set. (I've done
    that with a regular file and I only get one popup.)
    So, there you have it. Ordinary files work as expected. But, raw is quirky.
    Raw files work fine if you continue to open in CS2 from camera raw and only
    save once.

  • Is Photoshop Elements organizer 9 compatible with the most current version?

    I have a large photo collection organized with Photoshop Elements 9 organizer.  I am hoping that i can import the album data file (tags, names, folders, etc.) into the newest Photoshop Elements organizer, version 13.
    Thoughts or suggestions?
    I would hate to have to re-label thousands of pictures.

    Thank you!
    I plan to purchase a new computer shortly and move all image files along with the Adobe album information/data file to the same directory on the new machine.  I was hoping that when i was installing the new software, the old data file would be recognized and it would be upgraded/imported into the new PSE13 album.
    I have over 6,000 carefully tagged photographs, and i don't want to re-tag photos.

  • Lightroom vs Photoshop Elements Organizer

    I don't know Lightroom, but a friend suggested it as a solution to my problem, so here goes:
    I have a subscription to CC (and have used Creative Suite for years). I use CC at work, but for my personal, non-work photos, I have always used Photoshop Elements Organizer, because I have never found its equal -- as an organizer. Also, I have invested a massive amount of effort into tagging every photo (about 30,000 images, more than 10 years' worth) with keywords.
    I have no interest in Photoshop Elements' other features. I have CC for anything that PSE does that I care to do.
    However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
    So here's the question: Can I use Lightroom (or Bridge, perhaps) as a substitute for PSE Organizer? Does either program import PSE Organizer's catalogs? Because unless I can import what I've got, no other organizer will do it for me.
    I'd also consider another organizer product if it could import PSE catalogs, but I'm hoping there's a little gem of a program already in CC that I'm not aware of that will do the trick.
    TIA.

    I don't use the face recognition tags in PSE, but I think that those will not transfer to Lightroom, as there is no way to accomodate face recognition tags in Lightroom.
    Earlier you said
    However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
    so why keep paying for PSE upgrades? There are rarely any new "organizing" features in PSE. Just keep using the version you have, you can probably use it for many years until your operating system won't support older versions of PSE. My PSE 5 still runs under Windows 7 and I have heard that PSE 5 runs under Windows 8.

  • 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.
