Help With Elements 12 Organizer

I just downloaded Elements 12 and was downloading files to the organizer. The last file I downloaded is full of duplicates of some of the files I down loaded and dups of many of the files i have yet to download. I tried to put the folder back but it took all of my single downloaded folders also. Is there a way to put those pictures back without messing up everything I already did?

Hi,
The two applications (organizer & editor) can work independently and only talk to each other when they need to.
Are you updating from a previous version or is this the first?
There are (at least) three ways of starting the organizer:-
1) from the Welcome screen
2) from the editor - see button at the bottom of the editor window
3) directly using windows explorer to locate and double click on the following
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
[ignore the (x86) part if on 32bit system]
Can you get any of those ways to work? Do you get any error message or does nothing happen?
You could try creating a new catalog to see if that helps.
Start the organizer (in any of the ways) with the Shift key held down while it loads (if it does). That should bring up the catalog manager
Click on the New button (top right)
Give it a name like Dummy or Test and click on OK - that should create & open a blank catalog

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks. Crashes then ask if you want to reopen or not. Also when you are trying to manuver the page with your mouse things go crazy from a full page edit back to viewing all photos on the site and skipping around from picture to picture. Unsusable as it is today!

It is very critical to delete all preferences when you do a major OS X upgrade. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything pertaining to PSE. To see that library in 10.9, open a finder window, click your user account in the list on the left (the little house with your name), and then click the gear wheel at the top of the window and choose View Options. At the bottom of the list of checkboxes you'll see Library. Turn it on and then you can easily find the preferences folder.

How do i get a live person to help with elements 13.

Need live help with elements 13. can't show video or play music. Error code says no codec on system. Can play music and show video when not in elements. downloaded Flash player and quicktime.

There is no telephone support for the iTunes Store to the best of my knowledge. Use the email contact links you can find on the Contact Us page (link is in the lower right of every page).
Best of luck.

How to use Photoshop CC with Elements Organizer 12

Hi!
I have Photoshop CC and Elements Organizer 12. However, whenever I choose to edit my photos with Photoshop CC, they don't show up as "Edit in Progress" in Organizer. When I save the photos from Photoshop CC, my changes don't update in Organizer. However, Photoshop CC is an option in the Editor menu in Organizer, so Organizer knows that Photoshop CC exists.... Whenever I edit using Elements Editor, everything works as normal. I'm paying money for CC and I can't use it, so I really hope there's a solution!
-BalinKingOfMoria

Hi Balin,
Did you ever find a solution to this. I'm using Elements 11 with CC 2014 and having the exact same frustrating problem. It's so bad I revert to using Elements editor most times now. I rely heavily on organiser for my 50k catalog.
Cheers,

Problem importing pictures from camera with Elements Organizer

I am using Elements Organizer from Photoshop Elements 9 (Mac OS 10.6.8). Recently, the files imported from my camera are being stored on my hard drive with the permissions set so that only the owner of the files can read them. Previously, anyone could read them. I must have accidentally changed something in Elements Organizer.
How do I set things back to how they were so that everyone can read the files imported from the camera? Is there a way to reset the default settings for Elements Organizer?
I can get around this by setting the permissions for the folder of pictures from the Terminal window, but this requires that I remember to do so after each import.
Java Jay

You can use the app PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer the pictures to your computer while maintaining your folder structure.

Help with Elements 12 and Print Studio

i have Elements 12 and cant get print studio supplied with my canon pixma pro 100 to install
can any one help ??

You messaged me (but please reply to the forum as it will help others with the same problem):
"print studio just keeps saying its not compatible with elements 12 or vice versa??".
Go to Canon's web site and download the latest verson and see if that works. It installed for me OK (not that it worked, as I don't have a compatible printer).
Cheers,
Neale

Help with elements 7 please

I have uninstalled my photoshop and installed elements 7 on my laptop. I have kept the full photoshop on my main pc. When I imported my photos from my camera via a card reader I could see the images and could choose which ones I wanted to edit first. I shoot in RAW format only. Now with elements 7 I import in the same way but the all I have for the icon for pse (blue background with pse written on it) I have to open the photo in elements to acyually see which one is which. Its so annoying when you just want to find one particular photo to edit but you have to trawl through maybe 200 to find it opening each one. Before I could open the folder that the raw images were in a actually see which one I wanted to edit and change to a jpeg.

> When I imported my photos from my camera via a card reader I could see the images and could choose which ones I wanted to edit first.
I suppose that means you could view the thumbnails in Windows. You have a few options. If you are on Win XP you can download and install the ArcSoft RAW thumbnail viewer (http://www.arcsoft.com/products/rawviewer/). Otherwise download and install either IrfanView or FastStone and use their respective thumbnail viewer.

HELP WITH ELEMENTS 7.03 ORGANIZER...........

I had to blowout two computers in the last two days due to missing dll files on windows... I reinstalled win 8 64 bit on both of my desktop and laptop... I'm on my laptop today... I have restored most of my software and data files in directories... I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 on both... I have 10,000 photos in various formats, but mostly jpeg... They are in organized directories under Pictures...
I installed Element 7.0 and the 7.03 update on my laptop and proceeded to look for a way to get my photo in the Organizer... It would usually do this on its own, but now seem to want me to sign up for something... I had changed my email and password since the last time I purchased from Adobe... So therefore I had to update that info to see my CS4 and CS5 program purchases... Nevertheless, not all of my purchases appear under my recent ID and password info... Other older Adobe programs were not move into what is now visible... I'm wondering if that is why I can't sign into Photoshop Element 7?????
Also it seems to only look for photos in one format and most of my stuff is in bmp, tif, jpeg, ETC........
HOW CAN I GET MY PHOTOS IN ORGANIZER WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE EDITOR ONE BY ONE???????
Below is my conversation with on chat helper who couldn't come up with an ANSWER....
HELP PLEASE, RALPH......................................................
Ralph: [email protected]
Rachana: I understand that you are unable to login to Photoshop Elements.
Ralph: Right, but I don't remember ever having log in before...
Ralph: It seems like it only looks for type of file format...
Rachana: Please allow me a moment.
Ralph: ok
Rachana: Thank you.
Rachana: Thank you for staying online.
Ralph: you're welome
Rachana: Just to confirm, are you trying to activate Acrobat 7 on Windows 8?
Ralph: No...
Ralph: photoshop elements 7.0
Rachana: I am sorry.
Ralph: it well on fine and updated to the 7.03 version but it won't let me import my photo of various formats. it wants me to join something...
Rachana: Ralph, please be informed the photoshop elements 7.0 is not tested on Windows 8 as it is older version product.
Rachana: In this case I suggest you to upgrade for current version Photoshop Elements 12.
Ralph: no... i have friends that have the newer and don't like it as well
Ralph: photoshop elements 7 is good it will let me edit and save photos, but I have 10,000 photos to import.....
Rachana: I am sorry, we do not have other option.
Ralph: why don't it let me import my photos... it used to let me do as many as i wanted.....
Rachana: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Ralph: I have used this with windows 8 before just fine... But I had to reinstall windows 8 on two computers recently... I then had to reinstall my programs... They went on just fine, but the organizer part of Elements won't let me bring in my photos...
Rachana: Please allow me a moment.
Rachana: Thank you for staying online.
Rachana: In this case I suggest you to visit forums.
Ralph: If I try to sign in to Organizer on the top bar... It won't take my new email address and ID... I know when I go to Adobe to my account it does now show all of my older software with my #'s, just the cs4 and cs5 stuff...

Is it trying to get you to join photoshop.com? The easiest way around that is not to use the welcome screen. Go into the program files and make direct shortcuts for the organizer and/or editor and start PSE that way from now on. Photoshop.com is dead and gone so the welcome screen will hang up trying to connect to something that no longer exists.

Help with Elements 6 organizer

Hi
I'm at a school and we have been having troubles with PSE6 shutting down when attempting to open the 'Organizer', just after the 'Initializing Main Interface' stage. A visiting tech had a go at trying to locate the problem but without success. What is the Twain preference, where do I locate it and what affect will it have if it is removed? Hope you can help. Thanks Russ

Hi,
Please let me know what error you are getting.
Also, what steps you tried.
Try the following steps if not already tried:
1- Delete Organizer preferences. (Delete psa.prf file from C;\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Organizer)
2- Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen. Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
3- Create a new catalog and continue using it.
Let me know if above information helps.
Regards.

Help with elements 11 on mac

im using a mac and elements 11 opens for about 2 seconds then goes away. its in the tool bar on top of the page but no way to edit or organize photots. it's an MAC os x version 10.6.8.
everthing was working fine until recently with leads me to believe i accidently changed a setting on my mac. help please??

How are you starting PSE? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? If you were using the welcome screen, even the welcome screen set to open the editor or organizer automatically, don't. Go into the applications folder and launch the component you want from there, then go to the dock once it's running and choose Keep in Dock. Just don't use the welcome screen.
The organizer is easy to find, but the actual editor is hidden away in applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files:

Help with launchpad organization

I want to use the Launchpad to organize my applications while leaving the Applications folder untouched (a large flat list of stuff since experience taught me that trying to organize programs there in subfolders might lead to problems with some applications and their update procedures).
I ran the command to reset the launchpad to a blank state since it had 8 pages with doubles etc. :-)
I am now dragging applications I want there from the Applications folder (or subfolders) to the Launchpad icon on the dock. Two questions if I may:
a) is there a way to have a larger target when dropping the applications ? the icon on the dock is small for an old curmudgeon like me :-)
b) for some reason most applications I drop there end up on page TWO of the launchpad while others go on the first page. Is there a reason and can this be avoided ? FWIW the first page is still almost totally empty.
c) Is there a way to select multiple icons in the Launchpad and drag them all at once on another icon / page ?
Thank you very much

I can at least give you a work around for your third question. To move more than one icon to a different page you can 'lump' all the icons you want to move into a folder, then move the folder to the desired page, then remove the icons from the folder. To create a folder drag one icon on top of a second icon, wait, and a folder will be created. To remove icons from the folder, open the folder then drag the icon above the folder.
Hope this helps!

Help with elements 6

I purchased photoshop elements 6 in 2008 and have been using without any problems. Today - the computer tells me the program is having issues - so I tried to reload my original CD and the computer is asking for disc 1 - I only have one disc and it is not recognizing this as disc one. Is there a direct download so that I may continue using and or making repairs to the program. I am using Vista. Please help. I do have the origianl box with serial numbers. etc..

Check this:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Though I don't think this will resolve your issue. Sounds more liek you have a more generic issue, possibly because something has changed your system configuration. Cleaning out the previous install using the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility is advisable...

Help with Elements 12

I can't seem to import NEF files into Elements 12, My camera is a Nikon D3200 and I have old files from a D90. VERY frustrated. no updates available:( Keeps telling me that my camera isn't supported but it IS on the Adobe website. GRRRR..

Hi,
The D3200 should be supported by PSE 12.
How to you try to get the images from the camera into the organizer?
There are known problems that old Nikon software can corrupt the files - see the following.
