Max files in Photoshop Elements Organizer

Hello,
I have few questions:
1/
Following this thread, I am wondering what is the limit of PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8 ?? How many pictures can we insert into ONE catalog ?
2/
I currently have 6000 pictures that I would like to import into PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8, from Adobe PhotoShop Album V1.
Is this possible ? I tried with the trial version, but I have an error when converting the .psa file from PhotoShop Album V1, asking me to try to consolidate or repair the file in the previous program (but it works well in PhotoShop Album V1).
Any idea ?
3/
Is the trial version the same than the paid one ? I mean: if I start using the trial, inserting tags and so on, should I uninstall it when buying the full version or could I just buy a serial number and inserting it to unlock the trial ?
Thanks a lot,
Kamayana

John,
You are just MARVELOUS !!!! That's awesome: your website, the informations listed in it, the work you do here on the forum !!
Wow !!! I will purchase this product just for your support. Can I pay you to obtain a support and pay you the software ? Lol
You replied to all my questions !
For 2/, I read before your FAQ (I thought it was Adobe FAQ, I did not pay attention to the URL), I tried it without success (excepted item 9/ which is not possible for me, since PhotoShop Album does not allow writing metadata to files, but maybe your small program can do it ?) ...
But since I do not give up like that, I done the following, you might add it to your FAQ ?
1/ I used the dichotomy method. I was sure that some files gave problems. So, my 6000 pictures have been separated into 6 albums (1000 each). Then, I run the converting tool on each one. All worked, excepted one. This one, I share into 500 pictures each. I run the tool on each one. One was OK, the other one fail. The one which fails has been separated in 250 pictures each... And so on. Until you see which pictures cause problems... In my case, it was some modified pictures (2 of them).
Then, I eliminate this 2 pictures from my initial 6000 catalog, I do the import again, and... SUCCESS !!
Hope it might help someone else.

  • How to re-read metadata from file in Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer?

    I am currently testing Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 11 as a replacement for my old softwarestack due to a new DSLR.
    In Lightroom I can read and write metadata directly from/to file. In Photoshop Elements Organizer I have found an option to write tags to files, but none to re-read the metadata after the files has been imported to the catalog.
    I would like to use Lightroom as primary organizer for import/tagging/basic corrections. But Lightroom does not have some nifty things like face/person recognition and SmartTags, so I need the Photoshop Elements Organizer to do that. The target workflow would be:
    DSLR -> Import to -> Lightroom -> tagging -> basic corrections -> write tags to file in Lightroom -> import to PSE organizer -> person recognition -> smart tags -> image edits -> write tags to files in PSE organizer ==> tags can now be re-read in Lightroom, so I get the PSE organizer changes to Lightroom.
    And that is the problem: If changes were made after this workflow in Lightroom, PSE Organizer does not know that until I can re-read the metadata from the files. If I press "write tags to file" in PSE organizer all newer Lightroom tags will be overwritten with the old tags from PSE organizer.
    Does anyone knows a solution for this problem? Or should I file a feature request for both programs?

      You can now do a lot more in the metadata panel in PSE 11. If you select a thumbnail in Organizer and click the three small dots it will bring up a dialog for the metadata fields. To add information to many photos all at once, select all the thumbnails, click the information tab and then click the button marked Add IPTC information. You can then choose to append new information to all of the selected items or to overwrite.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 will not read in Canon 70D raw files. All updates have been made.

    Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 will not read in Canon 70D raw files. All updates have been made.

    The Canon EOS 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 (the plugin used by Photoshop Elements to read Raw files)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Camera Raw 8.2 is only compatible with Elements 12 and later. It is not compatible with Elements 11 or earlier.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Your choices:
    Upgrade to Elements 12 to open 70D Raw files in Elements
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 70D Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNG files in Elements 9

  • What is new in Photoshop elements organizer

    Are there any changes to the photoshop elements organizer from version 8 to 9

    I agree.  In some ways it is a real step backward.  I would not recommend "upgrading" to
    PSE9 based on one day of working with it.  Lost the ability to see all files in folder view and it is
    EXTREMELY SLOW.
    I really wish I hadn't changed to PSE9 and converted my catalog, which it didn't fully convert properly.
    Stay away from this upgrade!

  • Lightroom versus PhotoShop Elements Organizer and Bridge

    This is directed to the Adobe Developer Team
    I hope someone of the Developer team is reading this!!
    For my understanding the three products out of one house (PhotoShop Elements Organizer, Bridge and Lightroom) doing about the same, should ...
    work the same (same idea, same behaviour, organizing by path/subfolders instead of cataloges etc.)
    maintain the same database and files (LR should recognize the collections from BR and Vice Versa, use the same cache files etc.) and should
    be compatible to each other (e.g. Tags, Collections etc)
    Actually I suggest ADOBE
    to eliminate Organizer and integrate the good functions into BRIDGE (e.g. albums, upload to flickr, webpage generation etc)
    give BRIDGE as the free of charge picture organizer to PS Elements and to PS CS
    change LIGHTROOM into an payable upgrade of BRIDGE with enhanced functionality of the free of charge BRIDGE, (which can work as a stand-alone software as it does today
    better integration of PSE, PS CS into Bridge/Lightroom (e.g. Panaorama function opens only PS CS but the version of PSE works much better, so I want to choose in the menu of Bridge/Lightroom)
    I am really struggling with the three of them.
    Beside that I suggest to get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom with it's import/export and synchronization needs and instead use or at least integrate the idea of BRIDGE to get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders, as this is anyhow how the way pictures are stored already for most of us... I asume. I doubt that anybody just throw all files into one big subdirectory and get the organized into cataloges. But please keep collections as they are helpful to quickly collect some pictures to commonly work on them. by drag & drop. The Catalogues of LR drives me crazy but LR have a lot of nice functions (e.g. Webupload interfaces to flickr and others, nice noice reduction, nice albums and webpage functions, etc.)
    Thanks
    Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year
    Georg
    PS: Please all of you comment your experience and opinion on this matter ... I am interested what you think about it.

    Hi George,
    Whereas Bridge and Photoshop Elements (and most non-LR users) base their organisation on the file / folder structure, Lightroom uses files / folders simply for storage - the catalog is used for organisation. This 'catalog based approach' provides far more flexibility, both in organisation, and in recording a complete, fully-reversible record of all edits made to each photograph.
    To suggest that Adobe "get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom" and "get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders" would remove almost ALL advantages Lightroom has over Bridge & PS Elements combined. To fully appreciate Lightroom, you need to appreciate that files and folders are not the only way to organise photos. Why not watch a few of the Adobe Lightroom Tutorial videos? This link below takes you to a video explaining about the Catalog;
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
    However, if you really want Adobe to hear your views, why not raise a Feature request with them, at this link below;
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    I'm sure if you call your feature request 'Remove Catalog from Lightroom, and organise by Folders instead', it'll get noticed, as will any forum posts of the same name...
    Cheers,
    Alan

  • Is Photoshop Elements organizer 9 compatible with the most current version?

    I have a large photo collection organized with Photoshop Elements 9 organizer.  I am hoping that i can import the album data file (tags, names, folders, etc.) into the newest Photoshop Elements organizer, version 13.
    Thoughts or suggestions?
    I would hate to have to re-label thousands of pictures.

    Thank you!
    I plan to purchase a new computer shortly and move all image files along with the Adobe album information/data file to the same directory on the new machine.  I was hoping that when i was installing the new software, the old data file would be recognized and it would be upgraded/imported into the new PSE13 album.
    I have over 6,000 carefully tagged photographs, and i don't want to re-tag photos.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 13 crash!!!

    Hey everybode,
    since yesterday I have a problem with my Photoshop Elements Organizer 13. It appears for a few seconds and after that it disapears as soon as it published. No report and no apparent reason. After a millions of install and uninstall still tthe same problem. Even the troubleshooting of Adobe brings no solution. What can I do now??? Any ideas???
    I need help please!!!

    zna22121,
    Close computer down, and restart. If it does not work, it should, then re-install. But, do not attempt more than 200 at a time it just cannot handle it ?
    Good luck
    Ps. I just dislike Organiser, (it is too slow, and disorganised) you can go from PE 13 Editor ( My wife tried it and went back to PE 6 ) and Process Multiple Files only 200 at a time. in Photoshop Elements, Organizer may handle it ?
    We often do video production stills of 2,000 from PE 6 and we know it works ,when you use the images in Adobe CS5.5.2 Premiere Pro..for HD & Blue -ray transfers.. It is very easy ?

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetic sort

    I have been wanting to sort selections in Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetically by file name.  Does the recently released Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer have that feature or does it still only sort by date?

    PSE12 can sort alphabetically in all modes : thumbnail view, My Pictures, Pictures or albums.
    In albums, when you open an album it automatically opens in album order sort, except if you have the timeline displayed.
    When you add pictures to an album, the added batch is appended to the existing pictures in the order they are shown when you move them.
    If you want to create a custom order mainly based on an existing sort (date, import batch, name, old custom order), simply create a new empty album and with the correct starting order, move all the items in your album to the new one. You can then move your pictures around in album (custom) order with less work.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer quit unexpectly when accessing photos.

    Why does photoshop elements organizer quit when accessing photos?

    Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
    Edit >Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted. Navigate to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\<Catalog name>
    Inside the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.

    Subject: cant open xmp files in photoshop element 8
    An xmp file is not an image. Usually those are the files containing the settings used for raw conversion, any metadata keywords, and other data that PS/PSE can't write to the files themselves. If those really are all the files on your disc, contact the photographer, because it sounds like someone made a mistake.

  • How to open a .pse file in photoshop elements?

    Hello,
    All my previous files were saved as (.psd). Somehow, one of my photoshop elements projects was saved as a (.pse). I can't open it. How can I re open this file and continue working?
    Thanks in Advance

    A PSD is the standard working file for Photoshop.
    A PSE is a project file for Photoshop Elements. These projects are multiple pages. If you are working with a PSE on Windows, there will be a folder along side your PSE that contains a PSD file for each page of the PSE. If you are missing this folder, you won't be able to open the file. The PSE file itself is just instructions on how to open the PSD files as pages of a project. On Mac, all of these files are wrapped up in a single container.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

  • Moving images from iPhoto 11 to Photoshop Elements Organizer

    I understand that iPhoto 11 kept all images within the iPhoto Library.  In order to move them into the Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer, they must be moved to the hard drive of the Mac and then imported into Elements 12 Organizer.
    Is there any way to do this in one step?
    Mary Lou

    If you want to keep the photos organized by the Events they are currently in use this export setup:
    If you want to keep the keywords, titles and descriptions added in iPhoto change Kind to JPEG and set JPEG Quality to Maximum and check both checkboxes.
