How can I view then rotate or crop duplicate images

My wife has a large photo collection (50,000+ images) and has created a copy of a hundred or so pictures to include in a video I'm working on.
The problem is that I can't get Elements Organizer to display these images because they are "duplicate images".
I had to switch to "Display | Folder Location" mode to even find the directory.  When I did I noticed the 10 subdirectories had not been imported, so I tried to import them and got this error:
    Nothing was imported.  The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog.
I realize that they are duplicates but I WANT to see them so that I can edit them (crop, rotate, etc).
(Q) Is there a way to get Elements to "jump" me to the  original photo so that I can rotate or crop the "original".  NOTE: I  would use the Version Set feature or save my edits as a "new image"  altogether.  I think if this worked, I could create an "Album" that has the "duplicate" photo's my wife  has given to me and achieve what I need to do.
I'm brand new to Elements (previously I used ACDSee and it could do this without any hassle).  I've heard and read that Elements 9's Organizer is much improved so I wanted to give it a try.
(Q) Does Elements have a simple checkbox to allow me to work with duplicate images?
(Q) Is the solution to create another catalog?    I've done this to work around this problem (for now).
Also
(Q) Does Elements 9, have a way to show all of the images in all of the folders underneath a given folder?  I found that if I have a directory that contains 10 sub-directories, when I'm in the top-level directory no images are shown.  In ACDSee, it would show me all of the images under a given directory including all of the sub-directories.  Is this possible to do in Adobe Elements 9?
Thanks for any help.

The organizer is not a browser, it is a database : even if it can show photos in your folders structure, it only works on the files wich have been 'imported' and registered in the catalog. It can show your registered pictures displayed according to the real folder structure based on the paths registered with each present file, but you'll have problems if some upper level folder is empty.
On the other hand, the items registered in a catalogue can't be duplicates, and the Organizer prevents duplicates to be registered. There is no simple one click way to override this constraint, which would mean a different database 'key', that is to rename the duplicates you want to register.
Practical way : since you have to rename the duplicates before importing them, you could do this directly in Windows or any other freeware like Faststone photoresizer.
Or you could open those pictures directly from the editor, browsing in your folder structure.
Imagine you have duplicates in a folder and want to rename them and import them using only PSE :
- From the editor, use the 'process multiple files' to export the files from this folder and rename them, for instance 'IMG_0012.jpg' + 'dupl' stating the same destination folder
- Try again to 'get files and videos' from the organizer.

  • How can I create side bars without cropping the image?

    I want to create side bars because I am projecting in an vertical panel, but if I crop the image them I only get the middle part of it.
    How can I create side bars in an way that I can still move the image inside?

    On a Video Track directly above the clip(s) you want to have behind the side bars, place a clip of Color (or whatever you want to use for your sidebars).
    Now go to the Effects Tab > Matte >Mask Shape and drag the Mask Shape filter to the Color clip you have placed on the timeline.
    Double click on the clip to open it in the viewer, and click on the Filters Tab.
    Click Invert Box, and adjust the shape to get the side bars you want.
    And now the clip(s) that are beneath this effect will have the side bars and be independent of it, so that you can move them around.

  • How can I view previously sent e-mails ( with images attached or photo-mail)in Adobe Photoshop?

    I would like like to be able to view previously sent e-mails in the "photo mail".
    Then I would like to be be able to forward them to a new address. 
    Also, when I include my own e-mail, gmail thinks the address is unvalidated or is phising. I sent a copy to my own e-mail to be able to review what had been sent.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

  • How can I allow a customer to upload an image to be stuck onto a mug or t-shirt and then view what it would look like on that mug or t-shirt?

    How can I allow a customer to upload an image to be stuck onto a mug or t-shirt and then view what it would look like on that mug or t-shirt?

    In the absence of drivers, a rather nasty way to achieve this would be to ensure that your software always occupies the same portion of the screen such that you know the position of the 'sample' button. You could then simulate a mouse click at those coordinates when you require a sample to be taken.
    This would not be a robust solution as a user could move or minimise the window, or other windows could also find their way into the critical position and cause the application to work incorrectly or cause unexpected things to happen.
    However, if you just need a short term work around this method might be acceptable, just be aware of the risks if you try it.
    Searching for simulate mouse clicks and having a play is the way forward.
    As an example of simulating a mouse click in a certain position, have a look here:

    Put the clip into the timeline. Put the playhead over the clip. Double click the clip in the timeline. In the Motion tab adjust the sliders. Or use the Crop tool in the Canvas with the View popup set to Image+Wireframe.

  • How can i view videos (other then youtube) through safari?

    if i wanted to watch a video on metacafe.com or news.com etc, how can i view them on my Ipod Touch, it seems the only online content is on the YouTube App.

    As vgking96 explains, they pretty much have to be in that QuickTime friendly format. That said, I am at this moment watching the first video on the opening page of metacafe. I noticed as the clip loaded that the QT icon was showing, so just open the page and click on the video.
    For those that do not come in this format, for example flash content, a small cube with a question mark will be displayed instead; and I cannot remember what is displayed for WMP (vgking96?).

  • How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

    how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it.  i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this.  have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off?  i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

    Which version of photoshop are you using?
    After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
    For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

  • How can I view Artwork on iTunes for 1 or 3 songs per Album?

    So, I am on my iTunes. On the previous Version of iTunes, you can have the list of Albums and view at the same time the Artwork whether it was for 10, 20 songs or even just 1 song. With the new version, there are four icons on the Upper Right where you can view "Cover Flow", "Album Covers", "Detailed List", "Detail List with Album Artwork"...
    When I click on the "Detail List with Album Artwork" and I want to view the Artwork for those albums that I only have 1, 3, or just 5 songs, I cannot view the Artwork. I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    How can I view the Artwork at the same time as with those that I am able to?

    I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    iTunes menu View > Aways show artwork.
    iTunes defaults to show artwork for albums with 5 or more songs.

  • Purchased a movie on my iPhone throught iTunes? I can see it on my computer but I cannot get it to my iPad. I have been looking at all the setting on my computer, iPad and iPhone and I still can't view it on my iPad. How can I view it on my iPad?

    I purchased a movie on my iPhone through iTunes. I can see it on my pc and I shared all my media. I am unable to watch it or download it to my iPad. I am using the same email account for all devices for home sharing. I am not sure what the issue is with this and I have check and rechecked many settings many times. How can I view a movie I purchased on iTunes on one device, on all my other devices?

    If it's a rental film (not a purchased film) that you downloaded on your phone then you can't move it to your computer's iTunes - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657:
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • How can I view all photos from a specific year?

    How can I view all photos taken in one calendar year like 2010? Is there a way to filter this way?

    Yes, create a smart album or a search with a "Date" rule or a Calendar rule.
    For example: New > Smart Album
    Add Rule:  Date
         Capture year is 2010.
    or: Add Rule: Calendar
    and click-step  the year back to 2010:
    In the Calendar it is a bit cumbersom to select a whole year, because it will only show 3 month at once. Select the first day and then scroll to to the end oft the year.

  • I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

  • How can i view the variables of the session memory

    Hi experts
       How can i view the variables of the session memory.Such as I want display the variables of memory which id is 'BULRN' in ABAP debug.
    In program i can use import from memory id visit the momery of session,but i don't know the name of variables which store in momery of my session.

    Its not possible to view in the debug mode..
    SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens
    SAP global memory retains field value through out session.
    set parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
    get parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
    They are stored in table TPARA.
    ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
    to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
    ABAP memory is temporary and values are retained in same LUW.
    export itab to memory id 'TEST'.
    import itab from memory Id 'TEST'.
    Here itab should be declared of same type and length.

    The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon.  i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer.  On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented.  On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures.  On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file.  I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work.  I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
    I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon?  (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
    Cheers.
