Flat file Destination VS Raw file Destination ??

Team ,
Can some help me understand few differences and similarities  between Flat File Destination and Raw File Destination ? Thanks in advance .
Rajkumar Yelugu

Hi,
Please check these differences :-
Flat File Destination: The Flat File Destination component writes data out to a text file in one of the standard flat-file formats: delimited, fixed width, fixed width with row delimiter.
Raw File Destination: The Raw File Destination is all about raw speed. It is an entirely native format and can be exported and imported more rapidly than any other connection type, in part because the data doesn’t need to pass through a connection
manager.

  • I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    Than LR should have brought in the RAW files as well. ACR is the RAW
    processing engine used by LR under the covers so anything not supported by
    ACR would not be supported by Lightroom.
    Are you shooting RAW plus JPEG? By default, Lightroom will stack then
    unless you tell it not to. Check to see if there is a small badge on the
    preview that looks like two sheets of paper with a number. That is how
    Lightroom indicates a stack. You can unstack them by clicking on the badge.
    There is also a menu item to stack/unstack photos. Otherwise, I would have
    to research but not sure why Lightroom would ignore the RAW photos but
    still import the JPEGS.

  • Treat JPEG files next to raw files as seperate files still imports and displays them as seperate images

    Hi, I am taking RAW + JPEG files on a Nikon D810. The RAW files are saving to a CF (primary slot) and JPEGs to an Eye-Fi card (secondry slot). When I am importing into Lightroom 5 directly from the camera, even though I have 'Treat JPEG files next to raw files as seperate files' UNchecked in preferences, it still imports and displays them as seperate images. I am trying to import the JPEG as a sidecar file only to the RAW file as I have read about but this is not happening, any ideas why? Thanks

    Well in Lightroom they are apart from each other before the actual import, all the JPGs list first then all the NEF files next. The same actual photo as the NEF or as the JPEG both have the same file name apart from the .JPG or .NEF so that is not the problem. The NEFs go to the CF card and the JPGs go to the EyeFi SD card, I think you are onto the issue but I'm not sure what I need to do to fix it. I guess I need to change a setting on the D810 itself. There really doesn't seem to be any other settings apart from the RAW + JPEG vs only one or the other and allocating which card is primary for the RAWs and which card is secondry for the JPEGs. I really need the JPEGs to go to the EyeFi SD (secondary) for live iPad image viewing and not to the same primary card (CF) as the NEFs (RAWs) go. This does seem to be a typical setup so I would think it has been encountered before.
    Thanks for your help any other advise is appreciated.

  • How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

    I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
    The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to  Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

    Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
    If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

  • .Tiff files show as RAW files

    I have an Olympus C-770 Ultra Zoom and have just shot some .Tiff files and loaded them into my 5th G. iPod via the Apple camera connector. They have shown up as RAW files for some unknown reason so I can't view them on the iPod. What is going on and what is the solution?

    Thank you for replying. That is right, I am quite suspicious of memory - my laptop is full to the brim and I suspect that this may affect available memory and cause some problems in LR. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about computers to be certain.
    The card reader - quite simple: the card reader is the same, whether I save the files to the internal or external drives. I put the SD card in it, then copy the files and paste them where I want them. When done, I then open the LR and synchronize the folder. When I copy and paste files to the internal drive, the images look fine in LR; when I copy and paste them into the external drive, 80% of them come up visually corrupted in LR. Since the same card reader is used in both cases, and the files are OK when saved internally, I am assuming it is not the card reader.
    So, basically, when I became aware of the problem, I tried copying and saving the same file both internally and externally from the card reader, in order to verify what was going on. That is how the same file (more than one, actually) ended up on three different drives.
    Right now, my instinct is to copy everything to an external drive and clear some space on the internal one. I am very apprehensive though - what if something is causing file corruption on the external drives - in that case I will be corrupting everything when I migrate the files. Hence my previous question - are the files actually corrupted, or do they simply appear corrupted in LR because of memory issues? As I said, I don't know enough about this to be certain and do not know what to do.

  • Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separate photos? or How do you not download JPG's

    Environment:
    LR 1.1
    PC: Windows XP SP2, Dual Core 6600, 4GB RAM
    Camera: Konica-Minolta 7D shooting RAW and JPG (CF card has 3 files for each frame, RAW, JPE, THM)
    Although I Imported my RAW files with no problem, I discovered that the Import also copied the CF card's JPGs to the same folder as my RAW files on the hard drive. So I set out to figure out how to import RAW into LR without also downloading JPGs to my hard drive. I have not succeeded at that and have added a, Delete of the JPGs from my HD before synching Metadata step, to my workflow, but I DID find some truly weird behavior.
    The File menu dropdown offers two ways to Import from the card.
    1) Import Photos from device which goes directly to the Import dialog where I have preview ON.
    2) Import photos from disk . . .which goes to a file display of the CF card for file selections before going to the Import dialog. (Required if you want JPG only)
    Also, if I click on the Import button to the left of the tool bar I am given a dialog box to choose:
    1) M\(Camera or Card Reader) or
    2) Choose Files..
    These correspond to the same options that the File menu offers.
    My results:
    If you want to Import only RAW files use the Device option.
    If you want to Import only JPG where you have RAW on your CF card use the Disk option and only select JPGs(with or without the preference switch set).
    If you want to Import both RAW and JPG use the Disk option with the Preference option ON and select both JPG and RAW files.
    But, I assumed (my error) that I could, using the Disk option, mix and match JPG and RAW selections.
    THEN the strange stuff . . .
    If in the disk option with the preference switch set ON, I selected just RAW or both RAW & JPG files on the CF card in the file selection dialog, the Import dialog always showed BOTH RAW and JPG files in the preview. If then, in the Import dialog for any specific file, I selected a RAW or JPG but not both, selecting RAW Imported a JPG file and selecting JPG Imported a RAW file. No kidding.
    I ran this test three times. I dont consider this a big problem because there is a way to get RAW only, JPG only and both when needed, but someone could look at the code before the next release. (Maybe the shell game goes away in Pirate mode.)
    My biggest disappointment is I could not find a way to Import RAW without copying a second file to the same folder on my hard drive which I will need to delete later. Maybe, next release. (Please)
    For the development team, I offer my thanks for your significant advancement of digital photography.
    For those that get to the bottom of this post, remember Rule 5.

    >Speaking of which, WHY would anyone want to import jpgs alongside raws in Lightroom? I can't see any reason, and they just take up disk space. Am I missing something?
    I'm not as gifted at file editing as many of you are, and often the jpgs I get from Canon or Nikon are much nicer than the raws. Sometimes I am sufficiently pleased with the jpgs that I just toss the raws. Sometimes I want to play, and the jpgs give me a target to shoot for and try to surpass.
    Only when I really blew the exposure, not too common anymore, do I really need the raws to save what should have been a really great shot.
    I understand the arguement for raw files. I just haven't found that they are automatically better than the jpegs without a lot of tinkering.

  • XMP files for non RAW files **PLEASE!!**

    This is useless if I cannot write the image adjustments that I make out to matching XMP files.
    How can I move files/folders between machines???
    So PLEASE add XMP sidecar file support for non RAW formats.
    OR give us the ability to "export" a folder or files.. like in Aperture.

    Lee Jay,
    Thanks for that info!
    Since I did not see the XMP files I assumed...
    I just did a test and sure enough, the XMP data is written into the JPG file!
    On my mac I copied the file to another name, imported it and the changes were there as well as the ability to modify the changes.
    Further, for the geeks like me, I did a
    "strings file.jpg | more"
    command and was able to see the XMP data.
    Thanks!
    Edit to add: This is even better than Aperture projects and even separate XMP files!

  • Jpg files produced from RAW files

    I use PSE 12.  I shoot RAW photos and use the Organizer to upload the photos from my camera to the computer.  The organizer produces a jpg file with me doing anything.  How do I turn off this unwanted freature?

    I'm pretty sure the Organizer isn't the reason you have JPG files in this case.
    One possibility is that on import, you have turned on an option, like automatic red-eye removal (actually, I don't have PSE12 but I know that earlier versions of PSE did that)
    Another possibility is that you have (accidentally) set your camera to shoot RAW+JPG

  • Is it possible to ignore and not import JPG files when a JPG and raw file of the same name exist?

    Is it possible to ignore JPG files on import? I shoot raw + JPG and see no reason to keep the JPGs; I shoot JPG primarily as a backup (I back all the JPGs up online to my smugmug account then delete them before importing the raw files), but they're also occasionally handy if one wants to get a quick print in the field. I know that one can set a preference to "Treat JPEG Files Next to Raw Files As Separate Photos", but even then they still are imported.
    As an example, say I have this scenario (not on DSLRS, but on pNs cameras, sometimes a JPG but not raw is captured - I suspect this has to do with how the buffer is filling) with these files on a memory card:
    IMG_0001.JPG
    IMG_0001.CR2
    IMG_0002.JPG
    IMG_0003.JPG
    IMG_0003.CR2
    When I import pictures from this folder, I'd like 2 CR2 files and 1 JPG to be imported. I'm even willing to copy the relevant files and drag and drop them onto LR's Library module. But even if I do that, all five files get imported. Thanks!

    No, I don't believe that's correct. As I said in my previous post, Lightroom's Import is a two-stage process.....first copy the files from the card, then when that is finished, render whatever previews have been requested.
    AFAIK there is nothing unusual about my system, Lightroom has always imported in this two-stage way as far back as I can remember. Based on this I see no 'safety' benefit from copying files first outside Lightroom, then using an ADD import process. On the contrary, as this takes away the possibility of using the "Second Copy on Import" option, as well as having to manually setup import folders, I see nothing but downside from that approach.
    Mea culpa, Jim is correct! I checked my Windows 7 system with LR4.2 and I monitored the 'Destination folder' during an import direct from memory card to hard drive. 'Copy and import' showed in the progress bar until all image files were visible using Windows Explorer in the 'Destination folder.' Only after all files had transferred did the progress bar change to ‘Render 1:1 Previews.’ I started using LR1.0 on a Pentium 3 single-core system with Windows XP 32 bit, which I think is when I made this observation. Regardless, it is clear that LR4.2 is using a two-step import process. Thanks Jim for being persistent!
    It still begs the question why some people are experiencing very slow imports, damaged image files, and other related import problems from memory cards? My guess (and it's only a guess) is that they have 1) 'Rename Files,' 2) 'Automatically write changes into XMP,' or 3) 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files' checked in LR preferences. It would be a good idea for anyone experiencing import issues to try an import with these three (3) options unselected.
    My apologies to the OP DBarman for going off topic. Hopefully the extra information and observations are helpful.

  • CANNOT OPEN RAW FILES USING NEW CANON EOS 1D MKIII WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 5

    Hi, I have recently taken a number of RAW shots with my new Canon EOS 1D MKIII and have found that I am unable to import them into Photoshop Elements version 5 (using Microsoft Windows). Comments generated are: "the file is a format that cannot be included in the organiser" and "cannot open because it is the wrong type of file". The RAW file extension is .CR2 and I have been able to open these type of files taken on my older, and much cheaper, Canon 350D. I have spent hours considering different options but to no effect and am completely baffled. Do the two cameras produce different types of RAW files? Notably, the files do import into the Canon software 'Digital Photo Professional' but I want to undertake the more versatile manipulation in Photoshop Elements. I have managed to become even more baffled about Digital Negative ('DNG') files and wonder if there is some kind of converter I need. Would the solution be to purchase a more advanced Photoshop package like CS2? OR .......... do I need an 'Adobe Camera RAW' update? I have struggled to find the latest version for Photoshop Elements 5 to suit my Canon EOS 1D MKIII. There appears to be a 4.3.1 update but this only applies to Version CS3. Help!

    You probably haven't had anyone respond to your question because it has been asked and answered so many times. However, I will try once again.
    Adobe Camera Raw must have a profile for every model of every camera for which it supports the camera's raw format. It is not a matter of just supporting a file type such as your CR2 files. ACR needs to know specifically what model you are using. This is a problem that has been created by the different camera makers. They are the ones who are creating these proprietary raw formats. No, they do not cooperate with Adobe. That is why Adobe has to wait for a camera to be available, then obtain a raw file from that camera, and then create the profile so that ACR will recognize that camera. That is also why ACR is updated about four times each year, to provide support for newly released cameras.
    In an attempt to create a "common" raw file format, Adobe has developed the DNG (Digital negative) file format. Adobe is providing a free DNG converter. You always want to download and use the latest version of the DNG converter because it will be the one that supports the most cameras. The DNG converter creates a digital negative copy of your raw image. It contains all of the original raw image data. The image data is precisely the same data that was in the original raw image. The difference is that the DNG file has a "standardized" file header that stores as much of the metadata as possible about the image. Metadata is the information that records the changes that you make to your image when you edit it. Some of the image data is proprietary, and is therefore not available to Adobe. Obviously, that information simply has to be ignored by ACR. There are no XMP files associated with the DNG files. The information is stored within the DNG file itself so the XMP sidecar file is not necessary.
    If you decide to go the DNG route you want to make sure you are using the latest version of the DNG converter. It will convert raw files from the largest number of cameras. Those DNG files can be opened by any version of Camera Raw from version 2.4 onward. Consequently, someone who is still using Photoshop CS still has the capability of working on their raw files even if they have the most recent up to date camera.
    Photoshop Elements will utilize ACR 4.3.1 and any subsequent updates to the ACR 4.x releases. Judging from past experience, there should be another release soon. No one knows for sure. These releases are never announced ahead of time. ACR is not as robust in Photoshop Elements as it is in Photoshop CS3. It is the same plug-in, but a number of options are not available. It will support the same cameras, however.
    You don't need to worry about matching the DNG converter version number to your working version of ACR. The only relationship is that matching version numbers will support the same set of cameras. But the DNG files that are created can be used in any version of ACR from 2.4 onward.
    Anyone who is involved with digital photography and shooting raw has become a victim of the arrogance of the camera makers. The camera makers want to protect their proprietary format, and they want to promote the use of their software. Some of that software has to be purchased, so it is another way for them to make money. Until such time as everyone agrees on a common raw format, the photographers are the ones who are at the mercy of the camera makers. And there will be a continual ongoing updating process that we will have to wait for.

  • Few 5DmkII RAW files do not open with Aperture, but OK with other software

    Hi, I have two RAW files which I cannot import with Apple Aperture. The files open fine with Canon Digital Photo Professional, Raw Photo Processor and dcraw (and with various programs on my Windows 7 laptop) and I'm able to create TIFF files from the RAW files with every other software.
    Detail about the files:
    A. they are two first frames of burst (used auto bracketing, which takes 3 images in burst mode, to create HDR image)
    B. there is nothing strange in the files, they are normal RAW files and file size is normal as well (other 28.4MB and 32.7MB)
    C. both files process OK in above mentioned softwares and there are no blocks missing from created TIFF images, also preview JPG in the RAW file is OK
    D. Mac OS X Quick view (press spacebar in Finder) and Preview do show these two RAW images well (I assume they use the embedded JPG image)
    I have installed all the updates available in "Apple icon" -> "Software update..." function. Therefore I have Apple Aperture version 3.0.2. Computer is MacPro:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
    Memory: 12 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
    SMC Version (system): 1.25f4
    How I can submit the files for Apple to create fix? I searched for Apple Aperture support but there is only this forum, no email address or anything. Do they read this forum?

    Some clarifications and answers to your questions:
    First to Tony Gay:
    I try the feedback later today even they claim "Please know that while we do read these submissions, we cannot guarantee a personalized response.", which is original reason why I'm why I wrote this question here. The url you provided did not work but this should:
    http://www.apple.com/support/feedback
    This is not relevant to sRAW files, I did not change the between camera taking automated bracketed shots the image format for 2 shots to sRAW and took 3rd with RAW, that is not even possible.
    I have copied the images from card to hard drive, not trying to read from the card itself. However now you mention tried also from card = exactly same result. Tried desktop (different HD) and external USB and external eSata, all same result.
    Get info doesn't show anything wierd for the images. All other 192 RAWs from same shoot were imported with exact same methodology (as well as 60000 images before that).
    Then to gosuk2:
    There is no HDR setting in camera, I took the images FOR HDR, but did not use any specific setting, just used 1 1/3 stop bracketing and 2 second times when camera automatically takes 1 1/3 underexposed, correct exposure and 1 1/3 overexposed image (the order of images can naturally be changed via custom function in camera). All this is unrelevant since I shoot quite often HDR with this method (=more than 500 images each month) this way and they have always been fine before these two images.
    I see the files in import panel and I the don't use import dublicates setting so that doesn't affect the situation (why it would, Aperture things files are broken).
    Again HDR cannot be combined in 5DmkII, it's just automatically shoot 3 bracketed shots.
    No I don't get same result no matter what I do, it's just these two files. My other ~5000 HDR bracketed RAWs are importing fine as well as all burst/shots taken in continous shooting mode.
    I'm very aware how stacking of images works, but I do not understand relevance to this issue. I can not import the images at all to Apple Aperture, after importing all images Aperture displays dialog saying that following files could not be imported to Aperture, then displays list with both of these files in the list and gives possibility to locate the files in Finder.
    I have used Aperture since version 1 and I have 70000 images imported successfully to Aperture. Earlier I have seen this dialog "Aperture could not import image" only after hard drive/card failure. However then images cannot be used in Canon's DPP (Digital Photo Professional) or any other RAW software - now the problem ONLY EXISTS in Aperture all other RAW converters are able to open and process SUCCESSFULLY these images.
    So I'm not whining that Aperture is not good, but if it starts to work only part of the images in future and I have to process rest of the images with Canon DPP (that program is really lousy on usability standpoint) then I'm not so happy with Aperture anymore.
    Will report here if I get any comments back from Apple through the Feebback tool.

  • Troubleshooting raw files on trial version of Lightroom 4

    Just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 4. Am proficient in PS6 but have never used Lightroom. I decided to do a practice run through Lightroom using a folder from a recent shoot..some jpegs are finished and named, some are left alone and I have all the raw files in this folder and expected the entire file of pics to "show" in Lightroom. Only the named finished pics are showing the image and only the raw files are named but "unavailable" to be seen, and any unworked jpegs are not showing at all. As I say I was just doing a practice run on putting Lightroom 4 through its paces so I could familiarize myself with its use. These are files from a Canon 5D Mark III. Help me troubleshoot this please.
    Sarahle 547

    Although I'm not entirely certain from your problem description, am I right in guessing that these issues are appearing on the Import Screen when you are initially trying to import that folder? If so, "named finished pics are showing the image" I interpret to mean that for jpegs that you have RE-named from original (every file has a name!) you see the thumbnails in the centre panel of the Import screen, which is what you expect.
    Original Raw files, however, do not show the image preview....so what does show, any message at all? For 5DIII raw files you need to be running LR4.1 or later, can you confirm that's what you are running?
    Finally, the jpegs which you haven't re-named, and are not showing, I'm assuming these are part of Raw+Jpeg 'pairs' SOOC, is that correct? If so, go to the Preferences menu in Lightroom and check that in the Import Options section of the General Tab you have checked the option to "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". If it is UNchecked, Lightroom will not show you the Jpeg half of such 'pairs', it will simply make a reference to the Jpeg as a "sidecar" file to the Raw, and the Jpeg cannot be separately processed. Check the option, however, and you do get separate files...

  • Preview has taken over RAW file type binding from Photoshop

    Preview v 3.0.4 has taken over as the default program with which to open RAW files. Double-clicking a RAW file in OS 10.3.9 or earlier (?) used to automatically open RAW files into the latest Photoshop version installed (be it 7, CS, CS2).
    After purchasing a new Dual 2.7 G5 with Tiger 10.4 or 10.4.4, ALLL RAW ICNS have changed to a PREVIEW.app's icon for RAW images, and RAW files now default to Preview when double-clicked, instead of the Photographer's choice of Photoshop, as it has been for years.
    These and other file type bindings (PDF) have been captured by Preview in the new OS.
    What is going on? What to do? How do I regain the original file binding of RAW files to an intelligent and professional program (PHTOSHOP CSx), instead of this NEWBIE nearly unusable PREVIEW application?
    Simply remove all PREVIEW resources? Then it's usefulness for browsing large numbers of images will be lost.
    I simply want PREVIEW to leave my professional digital world alone and let me continue working efficiently.
    Any help? Ideas?
    Thanks a bunch,
    jes360

    Simply select one of your crw files, do GetInfo (command-i) on the file and in the Open With section choose Photoshop. Click the Apply to All button. From now on all crw files will open in Photoshop. I suspect the default changed because Preview can now open many many raw files, and not everyone has Photoshop.

  • Opening RAW files in Bridge

    According to p. 235 of "Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac", you are supposed to be able to right click on a RAW file in Bridge, and then you will presented with a pop up menu displaying the menu item "Open in Camera Raw".  Clicking on "Open in Camera Raw" in Bridge is supposed to give you access to the full set of ACR features that Photoshop CS4 users enjoy.  On the other hand, using PSE 8 to open RAW files results in a stripped down set of features in ACR.
    Unfortunately, I am unable to open NEF files (Nikon's RAW files) in Bridge. When I right click on a NEF file in Bridge, there is no menu item which says "Open in Camera Raw". However, if I right click on a .jpg file in Bridge, then I do see the "Open in Camera Raw" menu item.
    I am able to open NEF files in PSE 8 and edit them with ACR using the stripped down feature set.   My PSE 8 came with ACR 5.5.  I installed ACR 5.6 to see if that would help, but I get the same results.
    osx 10.4.11, PSE 8 for mac, ACR 5.6

    Hmmm. Works for me -- when I right-click on a NEF file in Bridge (or select and then click on the "open in RAW" icon in Bridge's top menu bar), it works fine for me. I see the full-featured ACR. I use ACR 5.6, PSE Mac 8, and OS X 10.6.2.
    When you installed ACR 5.6, you followed the PSE-specific instructions, right? In Preferences, you've got NEF associated with PSE? And you're not trying to mix-and-match Bridge and iPhoto simultaneously?
    So far, the only difference is I'm using Snow Leopard. And i've never installed NX2 et. al. Not that it should matter, but which camera are you using?

  • RAW files will not open in Elements 8

    I downloaded and installed several actions for elements8 this afternoon.  I also downloaded a couple intended for photoshop that were self installing.  I clicked on landscap_and_sky_action_by_fcpr,rar.  I thought It would open and I could install the action like the others.  Apparently, it self-installed as if\t was supposed to( just in the woring program.)  Some little time after that I tried to home a new RAW file downloaded from my camera.  I got the error message, cannot open (file name and full path) because it is the wrong type of file.
    I have tried to open the raw files with file open and file open as specifiying that the file is a raw file.
    I also tried to open an older RAW file with the same results (previously open before today.)
    This is the first time I have had this problem.  I have been using RAW files for the last year and half without any problems.
    My best guess is that rar file corrupted a file somewhere, but I have no clue where.
    lastly, I uninstalled elements 8 and reinstalled it.  Same problem.  I did note that when uninstalling elements, it does not erase the directories and many of the files.  I have hestiated doing that as I have a massive set of photos in the Organizer, have updated the RAW Camera database (worked fine after that) and added several features (effects) to elements.
    Any suggestions on a fix.
    Ed

    I removed the pior ACR and renamed it in case I needed it before installing the new one.  The new one has been working for a year+ without any problems.  This is a brand new problem.
    I think I have found the problem.  I installed Optikverve's Vitural Photographer yesterday.  I thought it was a stand alone like the studio.  I found that it installed inside Elements.  That was just prior to Elements starting to refuse to open RAW files.  Everything else (that I have checked ) seems to work fine. That says to me that program is the problem.
    I have just finished a negative virus scan on the computer and I am getting ready to back up Organizer to an external hard drive.  I am going then to remove Elements and wipe out out the files and directory structure that remains.  I will then install Elements.  That should put it back at "as new" state.  I will have reinstall the new ACR files and the other addons.  At least, it should work again.  (I hope.)
