How are pictures in Photoshop elements 9 linked to program?

I have 40,00 plus pictures shown in my elements program and since I bought and loaded Photoshop elements 9 (I previously had versions 3,4,5,6,7,8), I get the notice "searching for missing files" and can't use the program software for photo processing. I downloaded all my pictures from Windows 7 pictures on my computer and uninstalled Photoshop Elements 9 from my computer..
When I reinstalled PE 9, my pictures were there even though I had eliminated them (I thought) from my hard drive and the problem of "searching for muissing file" still existed.
How are my pictures attached to PE 9 and how do I eliminate that link and start all over with PE 9?
Need help

Ohboy 108Thanks for your suggestions and interest.I downloaded all my pictures to an external hard drive, cleared out my internal hard drive photos and now use my external hard drive as the storage and source.No problem with "Elements" constantly looking for lost files.

My guess is that you have solved the problem but if continues maybe this will help. I had a similar problem where pictures kept showing up in Organizer even though I had deleted the catalog and rebuilt it and even uninstalled and reinstalled PSE 9.  I solved it by checking under edit-preferences-files and making sure that the save location was correct.  I also changed the catalog location from the default.  I suspect that there was a registry entry pointing to the old file and/or catalog location.

    My suggestion:
    Read the help file carefully:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/workspaces.html
    Now have a look at the the organizer display layout. Just over the main display panel where thumbnails are shown, there is a drop-down menu to choose the sort order. I assume you are on a recent version of Elements? If you are on PSE12 or 13 you can choose the chronological order (ascending or descending), the filename order, or the import batch. Additionally, if you are viewing an album you can have a manual custom sort.
    My other advice is that before you use the organizer, you take the time to read this help file carefully:
    Elements Organizer Help | Creating and editing catalogs
    The organizer is a very power tool if you understand what it can do and if you don't have misconceptions about how it works. It's a powerful toolset  based on catalogs. It can handle and manage folders and files, but that's not its main purpose. Its ability to manage the information included in the exif metadata of your files and the important information you enter with categories, keywords, captions, notes, ratings or the way you include pictures in albums, creations, stacks or version sets is very powerful.

  • How can I save a picture in Photoshop Elements that was emailed to me using Photoshop Elements?

    How can I save a picture in Photoshop Elements that was emailed to me using Photoshop Elements?

    Save the attachment in a folder.
    From the Organizer menu choose:
    File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Navigate to your image and click Open.
      If the photo is embedded, make a copy or screen grab and then whilst it’s still held in memory open the Elements Editor.
    From the menu click:
    File >> New >> Image from clipboard
    Then use File >> Save As
    Then choose jpeg.

  • How do I send a picture using photoshop elements 12?

    How do I send pictures using photoshop elements 12?  I am using windows live messenger.  When I attach an adobe picture it will not send it.  It tells me it has to send it in parts.  I have never that problem until I started using the adobe 12. 

    Work on a duplicate of your picture so that you will retain the unaltered original.
    In full Editor, expert tab, go to File>save for web. In the dialog that comes up, GIF is the default; change that to JPEG. Under "Image  size" >new size, make the longest side 800 px. Be sure that "constrain proportions" is checked. Apply. Save this as JPEG and try sending it to yourself as a test.

  • How do I download Photoshop Elements with the Adobe Download Assistant?

    It used to be pretty straight forward, you would launch ADA and it would show all the programs available for download.
    Now it just shows "Products you may like", which doesn't show Elements (at least not that I can find).
    So how do I get Photoshop Elements? Am I looking in the wrong place?

    If you have tried a different web browser and are still facing problems please try initiating a direct download of the software by following the steps listed at http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l.  Please be advised that you need to complete the Very Important Instructions section prior to clicking on the link to download the software.

    How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini? I keep getting the following message:
    x Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed:
    flash_server
    Please close the application(s) listed above and click "Try Again" to continue the installation. Click Cancel to exit Setup.
    How can I resolve this problem without screwing anything up? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Your right. It won't make any sense to subscribe for a software that I don't own. I have CS5 on my Dell Laptop which has been giving me issues, so I re-installed the Operating System along with all my editing programs and nothing more. So I can toggle between the Mac and the PC to get the job done in the meantime. I will eventually get CS6 for the Mac.

    What do you mean by "disappeared"?
    What were you doing? Any error messages? Can you open the program? Editor? Organizer? Have you installed other programs recently? Do other programs work? Windows or Mac? Are you running an antivirus program?

  • How do I delete Photoshop Elements from my PC - EVERYTHING - so I can do a totally clean install

    I did not use adobe to backup and got a new hard drive (actually a SSD). Old hard drive is now F (was C).  Have worked with Adobe.  No success.  Catalogs are messed up because they use the unique identifier of the old hard drive.  I have given up trying to fix this and just want to start over so Elements doesn't establish a new catalog that is messed up just like the old catalogs.  Where is this information stored besides in the elements database.  I have, I think, deleted all versions on my PC and all catalogs I can find, then reinstalled and got a bad catalog again.  HELP.  I just want to start all over.  I have a PC with Windows 7.  It has had a number of editions of elements (6,10,13) on the this PC over the last 5 years. Thanks. Paul

    Hello Paul,
    I would first suggest trying to reset the default preferences of Photoshop Elements to see if that would fix your issue.
    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
    Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.
    Do one of the following:
    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
    Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
    However, if you want to delete it entirely you can start by running the uninstaller or then ensuring all files were deleted manually.
    Run the uninstaller
    Close all applications.
    Choose Start > Control Panel or Start > Settings > Control Panel.
    Do one of the following:
    Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in a Control Panel Home view, then click Uninstall A Program under Programs.
    Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in Classic View, then double-click Programs And Features.
    In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, and then click Uninstall or Remove.
    Click next.
    Click Remove, and then follow the remaining onscreen instructions to complete the removal.
    Remove Separate Files
    Note: Some of the folders below are hidden. By default, Windows Explorer does not display hidden files and folders. To show these hidden folders, see Show hidden files, folders, and filename extensions.
    Stop the Watch Folders service
    The Watch Folders service runs in the background on your computer. The service detects photos that you add to folders that are on the Organizer's watch folder list. If this service is running, then you can't remove all of the folders listed in the next section.
    Choose Start > Run (Windows XP) or click Start (Windows 7 and Vista).
    Type services.msc and then press Enter.
    In the list of services, locate Adobe Active File Monitor V10. If it is not listed, this section.
    Right-click Adobe Active File Monitor V10, and then do one of the following:
    Choose Stop from the pop-up menu. Proceed to the next step.
    If Stop is unavailable (it is dimmed), then the service is already stopped. Proceed to the next step.
