Elements saves files but organizer and editor loose them

Running Elements 12 on Win 7.  I download files from SD card from camera to a subdirectory and they seem to get copied to two places at once.  When I work with the files, they open from one of those places but edits save to the other and are not opened again.  So, edits seem to disappear.  I am unable to load them again without doubling them up in the catalogue.
I assume this is an error in the download (copying process but it is not obvious to me.
I have checked other files downloaded years ago into one folder and I am seeing the same error.  I edit a file, save it, and close it and organizer doesn't know where it is.  If I open the same file in editor, edit it again, and save it, editor knows this is the second edit, saves it, and organizer again does not find it. Even though checking shows it is saved to the same directory.

In that same window there should be a series of buttons where you choose to see PSE options, PRE options or both.
EDIT However, I doubt you can make this work. Hardly anybody would do it this way, so it's not surprising that PSE isn't set up for it, but FWIW, it's also a problem with things like certain versions of PS with particular versions of organizer.

  • How do I make Organizer and Editor open at the same time?

    I'm new to PSE 10 and want to know how to make Organizer and Editor open at the same time. I can get the Organizer up, but have to pick out a photo and click on Fix: Full Photo Edit to get Editor to open. Is that the only way to do it?
    Thanks,
    K

    Create Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor:
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

  • How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor

    How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor at one time.  I receive the error message, "Unable to Import Files", which says "You exceeded number of files that can be selecteed and imported at once...."  What is the number?  Secondly is there a way around this for either the Organizer or Editor to work on thousands of photos at the same time?
    Thanks

    I have never heard of this particular limit before.
    Please understand, this appears to be the limit you can import into the Organizer at one time -- you can have as many photos as you want in the Organizer; but apparently you have to import in batches rather than all at once.
    I don't think it applies to the editor; and I can't imagine wanting to have more then a few files in the editor at any one time ... even if you could open 2000 photos in the editor at once, what sense would that make?

  • Contrast mismatch between Organizer and Editor

    I can edit an image in Editor to where it looks great, to include the contrast, brightness, shadows, etc.  When I send it back to the Organizer, it look much too contrasty and dark.  When I use the same images in a slideshow originating in Organizer, they still look too contrasty.  Is there a way to correct this?  I'm using PSE 10 on a Windows 7 -64 bit machine. Thanks for any ideas.

    Thanks for your quick response.  I just checked out the settings in both the Editor and Organizer and they're both set on "let me decide".  I'm not sure what to do on that one.  I could go with optimizing the computer screen with sRGB, or the Adobe RGB for the printer, or no management, or decide on the fly.  If I go with the computer, I guess I'd have to change it when I print a photo out, and vice versa.  Have any suggestions for me? Thanks again. 
    New update.  I have a Dell color laser printer, and I just checked the manual.  It offers both sRGB and AdobeRGB.  My priority is really to have a good printout.   If I check sRGB I should be safe for either print or computer, but I'm wondering if I'd get as good a printout with sRGB as with AdobeRGB.  The easiest might be to see what the printer is curently set on, and then set PSE Organizer and Editor to match it.  I'll do that, and then see if that helps the mismatch between Organizer and Editor.

  • Elements Organizer and Editor Fonts Too Small

    Is Adobe ever going to fix this problem of the fonts not adjusting their size in both the organizer and the editor?  The only option to alter the font seems to be to switch to a "System Font", but that option doesn't work. It doesn't change the font size at all, even if you turn off Aero and set the system font to 125%, the menu fonts don't change. In short, the software is not Windows compliant, afte how many years that Adobe has been making a windows version of this ptogram?
    The default font size can't be read more than a foot or so away from the screen on today's pretty much standard 22" 1680x1050 LCD display. On top of that, who in their right mind thinks black text on a gray backgound effects 'contrast' rather than 'blend'?
    I've searched the internet regarding this problem, and it seems to have persisted through multiple versions of this software, but has gotten worse through versions 7, 8 and 9 based on user numerous posts. Actually, it looks like Adobe just doesn't plan on addressing the problem at all.
    Does anyone even get a response from Adobe when they post about this font issue? It doesn't look like it, as far as I can see.  

    That seems to be a reasonable explanation.  Since a thumbnail does not have as much information as the actual file, it shouldn't be surprising that visual difference exist.  I just wasn't expecting them to be quite so noticeable.

  • How to edit a file from Organizer and return it to Organizer?

    In PSE5, in Organizer, I want to fix a photo. I right-click it and "go to quick fix" or"go to full edit". Editor opens up, I edit the photo, and want to return to Organizer. How to do that? If I try to save, I have to go through several dialogs, including warning that I'm about to replace an existing file, and default option to save a version; which all looks like I'm creating another instance of the file. Or, if I want to fix multiple files, I select them all in Organizer and go to quick fix; once I have finished, I don't see how I can commit all changes back to Organizer (which is showing "edit in progress" on them meanwhile) - I have to save each individual file, going every time through those several dialogs. Am I missing something obvious?

    Not missing anything, that's how it works. If you want to replace the
    file, go ahead, but most people keep a separate version, so you have
    your original, and then the one they changed. That way, if you don't
    like what you did, you can always go back to the original. You should
    get something like: IMG_001.jpg (let's say that's your original file),
    and then IMG_001-edited-1.jpg as the next one in the version set. This
    is how Elements works. Most editing does change pixels, so you actually
    have a new file. (I know that some editors/organizers do support
    non-destructive editing, but you are very limited in what things you can
    do.)

  • Kind of broken communication between Organizer and Editor PSE 9

    Hi,
    Today I when I opened my PSE 9 Organizer to select and edit some photots uploaded yesterday, when I selecrt3ed the photos and clicked Fix>Full Photo Edit menu, the Editor opened fine, BUT no photo appeared on the Editor as always. This is the first time this happens and I have been working for more than a year with PSE9 without any problems.
    Now, in order to edit the selected photos on the organizer, once the Editor opens (showing no photo) i have to open the Editor´s Project Bin at the bottom and then select "show files selected in the organizer" and there they are, but this didn´t happened before.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks a lot Barbara,
    Maybe I did not explain myself very well, but what I have been doing for a long time, was selecting one ...or several pictures for editing from within the organizer, and after the Editor opened, there was always a picture on the body of the Editor, ready to be edited, but NOT so anymore since today in the morning. It is not a big deal, because as I explained on my first post, now I have to look for the pictures in the Editor´s project bin and select the one I like to edit, but it is odd that this just happened today after almost two years of being working the other way. 
    Is there some  way to repair the installation of  PSE9?

  • Trying to save file, but get one of two errors 50% of the time

    Here's a breakdown of my issue.
    I'm a 3d artist working on some texture files for my models. I'm constantly saving the file to make quick changes and fixes, doing so quite rapidly. So much so I now have actions recorded to cut down on having to go to the directory to save over the older file. Now for the issue. I'll try saving over the file, but then I'll either be giving an error message saying "Could not save a copy as ________ because the file name was not valid" or "Could not save a copy as _________ because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the Properties command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file".
    This is my personal pc so I do have the permissions enabled. If I open up the directory where the file is saved after I get these errors the file is then gone. These errors go away if I wait about 6 seconds in between getting the error to save then it has a better chance of working. That's not all of the time though. Sometimes I have to go in and just save manually, which is a real pain when I have actions recorded. It's almost like the relay between Photoshop and my directory isn't fast enough or something's just internally wrong. I've been dealing with this for a year. 11 months and 29 days too long. Help please!!!

  • Saving file, but jpg and gif comes out garbled

    Would someone please help me? I'm at my wit's end here. I'm writing a program that reads a file and saves it, but it needs to read a maximum of 512 bytes before it starts to write. It needs to work with both text files and images.
    - It works fine with text files.
    - It works fine with bmp images.
    - It works fine with jpg and gif images under 512 bytes.
    - With a jpg or gif over 512 bytes, it comes out all garbled, but the same file size as the original.
    One thing is really confoozling me. When the image comes out garbled, I tried changing the files for both the original and the copy into text files by changing the file extension to .txt. Both the text files were identical! So if the data is identical, why is the copy not showing the same image as the original?
    import java.io.*;
         public class SaveFile{
              public static final int BUFSIZE = 512;
              public static final String LIBRARY = "C:\\";
              static int totalRead = 0;  //Total number of bytes in buffer (Max BUFSIZE).
              static int fileSize = 0;  //Size of whole file.
                  static String fileName = "";  //Name of file.
                 static char[] data = new char[BUFSIZE];  //The data in the file.
              public static void main(String[] args){
                            //Bytes already read by the buffer.
                      int charsRead = BUFSIZE; 
                          //Takes name of file from main argument.
                         for(int i=0; i < args.length; i++)
                             fileName = fileName + args;
    //Name of file including directory.
              String fetchFile = LIBRARY + fileName;
              File file1 = new File(fetchFile);
              * Reads a string from the file to data (char array).
                   BufferedReader reader =
    new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file1), BUFSIZE);
                   BufferedWriter writer =
    new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
                   //Will continue as long as buffer is full.
                   while (charsRead == BUFSIZE){ 
                        charsRead = reader.read(data, 0, BUFSIZE);
                        if (charsRead != -1) {
                             totalRead = charsRead;
                             write(writer);
                             fileSize = fileSize + totalRead;
                   reader.close();
                   writer.close();
              System.out.println((fileSize) + " bytes read and saved as " + fileName);
         * Writes data to a new file.
         public static void write(BufferedWriter writer) {
                   for (int j = 0; j < totalRead; j++) {
                        writer.write(data[j]);

  • InDesign CS6 saves file, but crashes when I try to open this file

    Hi,
    I am having a huge problem with Indesign since yesterday. It worked fine before.
    I use Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
    Since yesterday, I have problems with files that I just saved. I can open older files (from before yesterday), but I cannot open any file that I saved recently. Indesign crashes every time I open the file (the file is visible, but right before all the palettes are loaded, Indesign closes down).
    I already saved several files (under different file names) since yesterday, the problem stays the same.
    I already uninstalled and re-installed CS6, it didn't solve the problem.
    This is quite a nightmare. I am thankful for every effort to help!
    All other programs in the Creative Suite work fine!

    It is puzzling indeed. And quite a desaster for me, since I have a deadline to meet.
    No changes, no new installations (not known, maybe updates in the background??).
    InDesign started crashing in the middle of the workprocess. Since then the problem persists.
    When I open an old file and start working on it, InDesign also crashes after a while during the workprocess.
    So I can't work, I can't save files ... booo!
    This happened with an update of a document that I work on all the time, a monthly magazine.
    Maybe it is a Windows problem, although it is strange that all other programs work fine. (I use Windows XP)

  • APP CRASH in 7.0 upon Opening Organizer and Editor - Vista - Help!

    When I open my Photoshop Elements 7.0 Organizer, the pictures load and then I get a message that the program is closing due to APP CRASH.
    Any ideas why this may be happening?  Is there a limit on the number of photos in a catalog?  I can't imagine that I am over the limit on this.  We have gone through several troubleshooting recommendations including reinstalling the program and it is still crashing upon opening.  Now the Editor is crashing too!  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Organizer might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash.   Here are troubleshooting steps to try:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Organiz er_crashes
    Given that both the Organizer and the Editor are crashing, start with step 4, installing the licensing-service update, and if that doesn't help, try the others.  Even if you think you've tried something similar, repeat the step exactly as described.

  • Every time I try and delete an album from my ipod using itunes but doing so manually as was suggested, it is also deleted from the itunes library that i have set up.  How do I just delete albums from my ipod and not loose them from my pc itunes library?

    I have an extensive itunes library on my pc.  I want to delete albums from my ipod but still keep them in my itunes library.  Everytime I try to delete by right clicking on the album and choosing delete, I also loose the album from itunes.  I have just gotten an old iphone and put just classical and jazz on the iphone and want to delete those albums from my ipod but alas I will be loosing them from the iphone as well as soon as I sync with itunes in the future.  I put settings into manual manage music but still the albums go off itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • TS4009 Has anyone else had a problem with files going missing in iCloud?  I'm use Scanner Pro which saves files to iCloud and some of my older files are MIA

    I use Scanner Pro, which is a document scanning app.  It scans (takes a picture of) the documents then saves as a "spdoc" and uploads to iCloud, then retrieves the file when you need to view or send.  I had some important tax docs saved and when I went to open them today they can't be retrieved.  The folder containing the files shows the the space is allocated for the files (says folder is 8 mb and the files I can see in the folder are only taking up 6.2 mbs). 
    Is there anything I can do to retrieve these files.  They are super important!
    Thanks for your help!

    I was running into the same problem with my Mac.  I could not open nor find an application that would open a .spdoc file extension.  However, I went to my iPad and was able to open the file using the Scanner Pro app.  I hope this helps.
