Is adobe photoshop elements network-friendly?

Hello.
I have all my pictures stored at a server (LAN), and I need to access (and also edit) a central catalog which should be located at the server, from various other PCs.
Is this possible and friendly?

Friendly is relative and so is network performance.
I have both PrE and PsE. My catalog, video, and photo content are all stored on a server. PrE's media cache is on a local drive. The catalog size is fairly large -- I don't have the exact numbers in front of me now but ~17,000 pohotos. The performance is fine for me (even for video editing). However, I have a gigibit LAN, a Ubuntu server, and a optimized samba configuration.
I would suggest you run some network performance tests. If you are getting above 500 Mbps throughput with low latencies you should be fine. Possibly even this is overkill if you are not editing videos.
And the previous post is correct in that the catalog is locked exclusively which will prevent multiple people from opening the catalog at the same time.

How do I determine if my version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 is a volume license and can be deployed remotely and silently across my network?

Someone in our organization purchased a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 from Best Buy. It now needs to be deployed across the network and the deployment instructions at Silent install instructions | Adobe Premiere Elements 10 | Volume License version | Windows, explicitly state: Only Enterprise customers can perform the following procedures to silently install Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on Windows with an Adobe volume license (AVL). I'm assuming that I probably have the wrong version of the software, but is there a way that I can tell definitively?

EricPriest if the serial number is registered on http://www.adobe.com/ then it is likely a retail serial number. Volume license serial numbers are located at https://licensing.adobe.com/. You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you wish to purchase a volume license for Photoshop Elements then I would encourage you to contact Adobe directly or an authorized volume license reseller. The copy you received from Best Buy is likely a retail version suitable for use by one individual to utilize on up to two computers.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working... how can I make it work?

Hi. I have just bought a new copy of Photoshop Element 9. It installed OK, but when I try to open the Editor, I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem", followed shortly by the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". The only option then is Close Program. The Organizer has the same problem.
Does anyone know how to get it to work? It hasn't just stopped working, it has never worked at all. If anyone at Adobe are monitoring this thread, please can you tell me what the problem is and how to sort it out? I tried the Adobe call-back service but all I got was a computer phoning me up, and no person available.

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 removes three drives.

Computer - AMD Athlon[tm]XP 2400+; 2.00 GHz, 1.00 GB of Ram.
System - Microsoft Windows; XP Home Edition; Version 2002; SP2.
80GB hard disc, 60GB free space.
Printer HP laserJet 1010
Q1. My newly purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 has removed three drives from My Computer. D:[CD drive]; E:[CD-RW drive], and F:[DVD drive].
When I removed the programme the drives were back. I installed again and the drives disappeared. I need the drives and I want to keep Photoshop Elements 4.0.
Is there a patch or an update that will stop this from happening? Any ideas or suggestions ?
Q2. If this problem cannot be resolved and I download a trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 from the internet, can I use this new product's license number to validate the trial version?
Best wishes, Brian Gargate, Co Durham, UK

May I reply here to both of the kind people who have responded to my appeal?
To Barbara. Thank you. It appears that I need someone who knows how to 'fiddle' with the registry. I lack the skill so I shall ask a friend who built this computer.
To Brian. Thank you. Yes, I do have those drives. D: for installing programmes, E: for my Nero Burning Rom [I do not use Nero any more because I have an external hard drive for backups but it is handy for copying], and E: a DVD drive. I could live without E: and F: and if that would solve the problem I would happily agree to them being removed. Right now, I am left wih only one drive, A: the floppy drive. No doubt you will have had a look at Barbara's link. It may be the answer. I'm hopeful.
Again, Many thanks to both of you. I will keep you informed.

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?

Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

Adobe photoshop elements won't download updates

I recently installed adobe photoshop elements on my MacBook. Whenever I open the application, it automatically tries to update. I get this dialog box.
An error occured while attempting to download a file from the adobe online web server. The request was not understood by the server HTTP #400 Bad request.
Not only can it not download updates, it freezes my whole machine and I have to force a manual shut down by pressing on the power button for 5 seconds. In short, I can only use Photoshop Elements when I am not connected to the web.
I've also had trouble downloading Adobe Reader for pdf documents. I have no trouble on my PC. This seems very strange since Mac and Adobe are good friends.

Hi famo-sa,
adobe and apple are truly good friend, but it also depend on what version of both that try to communicate each other.
First, 400 bad request is happen more because of browser send something that other end server cannot understand, for that, you can try to disable automatic update check on element and try to find updater using other browser.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
And maybe since the elements is not universal yet, failed to do the update make your intel mac crash.
Try to repair permission: application folder > utilities folder > disk utility > repair permission.
and try to download reader from here:

Good Luck.

Hi,
This issue with PSE10 appears only on Windows7 when WIFI and LAN internet connections are simultaneously available . On your machine please check for the same . If both are there then set OFF any one of them , this will start providing the network connection and updating the PSE . Actually this is a Known issue with PSE10 and has been fixed for the higher version.
In worst case if this doesn't work then you can download update from given link and update your application. For PSE10 only one update for ACR is released.

Hi ,
Do you remember if you have installed some software prior to this issue?
Delete programs you never use.
If the issue reoccurs in Clean Boot, but works fine in Safe Mode, the cause may be the disabled hardware drivers. You may narrow down the
causes in Device Clean Boot.
Device Clean Boot
=================
1. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers".
3. Right click on your sound card and then click "Properties.
4. In the dropdown menu of Device Usage, please choose "Do not use this device (disable)" and click OK.
5. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, network card and CD-R drive. Please note some devices
such as video adapter are not available to be disabled.

Installing free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

I have a PowerPC G4, 10.5.8. I tried to download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 (to check before I buy), and this is the message I get:
"System Check The minimum system requirements listed below are needed to run Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and are not met:
This product does not support PowerPC architecture CPU. Please upgrade or adjust your system to meet these requirements."
I have no idea what this means or what to do about it. Can this be solved? Does this mean I am not compatible with this app?

Okay, I'm looking at Photoshop Elements 6 Amazon and one of the customer reviews says this: "Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac will not install if your hard drive is formatted using Case Sensitive Journaled HFS+. This requirement is not mentioned in the Elements 6 documentation.
The current fix is to reformat your hard drive using non-case sensitive HFS+. Mac users who need the case sensitive drive format are out of luck with Elements 6 at this time.
You can check how your hard drive is formatted by looking in ->About this Mac->More Info->Hardware->Serial-ATA (if you are using a MacBook Pro)."
I have no idea what this means. And checking my system profiler doesn't tell me anything, or at least I don't understand what it's saying.
Also, re: GIMP - it says on the site: "Running GIMP on Mac OS X requires Apple's X11 environment. It is included on the "Optional Installs" package on the OS X install disk."
I don't know what this means either, and I don't have the install disks, as my friend upgraded me and didn't give me his disks. I'm sorry I seem so stupid, but i'm really at a loss with all of this. Thanks for everyone's help.

Problem opening Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

Problem opening Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

After unzipping Photoshop Elements 13, I received a error message saying
that PSE had detected an impending shutdown of my computer, and that I
should shutdown and restart the computer. I had two button choices:
ignore or quit. Given those choices, I quit, then shutdown the computer
and restarted. I again unzipped PSE and attempted an install. This time I
got a error message saying an installer was already running and I should
shut it down. Having no clue as to how to shut down an installer, I
attempted (FOR 6 HOURS) to obtain assistance from Adobe technical support
and either waited for a return call, waited on hold, attempted to
communicate with someone who I could not understand from India, or was told
technical support was not available on the phone for PSE. I finally gave
up and went to Chat. There, attempting to explain what the problem was,
(see above), I guess I took too long to respond, the chatter closed the
chat, and I was not able to reconnect to chat. After 5 attempts were
denied, I contacted a friend who has computer operations experience. After
an hour of attempting various things, he told me to hit "ignore". PSE
installed correctly and I'm now using it. This was an extremely shoddy
performance by Adobe -- first a glitch in the install process, and then no
help from tech support.
