Maximum number of photos in Photoshop Elements 8

I am using Photoshop Elements 6 and am considering upgrade to 8. I am using Windows XP. I have about 50,000 photos on 6 and wonder what experienced users feel is the limit on 8 (or on Elements in general). Am I better off dividing into multiple catalogs? Switching to another program (Lightroom? Photoshop CS4?).
BTW, my photos are divided into about 3 groups, with some overlap - family, travel, and artwork (consisting of both my finished artwork and photos I use to produce my artwork, which is photo-based mixed media).
On my other computer (iMac), I am using Lightroom and Photoshop CS4, and have about 100,000 photos. Because so many photos slows down the program, I am dividing into a number of Catalogs/Libraries.
Thanks for your opinions.

Thanks. I don't normally do "automatic" upgrades. There usually isn't a
whole lot of difference in a new version. I am doing more of my work in Raw
these day, and I understand that Elements 8 also has more raw support,
although I didn't notice it in the comparison chart.
My wife is an artist, but isn't very computer literate, so a lot of my work
is maintaining her files. She takes lots of photographs, and then years
later may use them in her work, so it is preferable to keep everything in
one catalog, as you suggest.

  • Removing duplicate photos in photoshop elements 4

    is there a easy way to remove duplicate photos in Photoshop elements 4, i have over 20,000 photos but really only 5000-6000 and 3-4 duplicates of each and i think they have been renamed and haven't found a duplicate photo/file remover that will do it any suggestions

    John,
    I have PSE 4 on an old laptop so I took a quick look and my conclusion is no v4 does not have Suggest Photo Stacks.
    Find with Visual Similarity is in v4 and I did do a Catalog > Recover with the build Similarity Index choice as preparation for using that Find feature. However using Visual Similarity on any signficant number of photos would seem very tedious.   Of course it could be done systematically on a few photos each time over an extended number of days - but still tedious.

  • Sync Photos with Photoshop Elements?

    Hello everyone, I saw a couple weeks ago that you could sync your photos from Photoshop Elements to your ''iDevice''. I am using Photoshop Elements 9 to sync Faces and Albums, because you can't sync those on Windows.
    I downloaded it yesterday and organized my photos.
    But I'm unable to sync the photos like I wanted, the only option available is to sync Albums, not the faces of people in photos...
    Do you think I should contact Adobe, or what?
    Thanks in advance, Pietro.

    I have experienced a similar problem.
    I have iTunes on a PC along with Photoshop Elements 7. I have several albums defined in PSE 7. They all appear in iTunes but only 3 of them have the count of the number of photos included in the album. When I sync with the Apple TV, only the albums with a photo count are available. A double check of the content of the albums in PSE 7 confirms that photos are assigned to each one.
    I have searched everywhere for a posting of the answer without success. HELP!

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • Why can't I print a full page photo in Photoshop Elements 10???

    Why can't I print a FULL PAGE PHOTO IN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS VERSION 10, (letter size 8.5 x 11?)  I have tried resizing, cropping and anything else I can possibly think of to no avail!!! VERSION 7 was so easy just print (fit to page)! I'am pulling my hair out trying to accomplish this! If anyone can tell me how to do it I would be eternally grateful! Thanks Julie
    P.S. I can't even print a 8 x 10 properly!

    Sarah, my printer drivers are updated! This problem seems SO COMPLICATED when it should be so easy!  It's like the more advanced these programs get the less you can figure them out!!!!  I'am ready to offer a reward to fix this!!! The stress of trying to figure this out is making me crazy!

  • Deleting a photo from Photoshop Elements 11 editor

    I deleted a photo from Photoshop Elements 11 organizer. How do I delete it in Photoshop Editor?

    Nothing is actually "in" the editor. It's just like most other programs you might use to open a file, not like organizer that's making a database of your photos.  Just close it there, either from the image window or tab's close button, or by pressing ctrl+W (command+W on a mac).

  • Problem syncing photos with Photoshop Elements 5.0

    I have a problem with syncing my photos using Photoshop Elements 5.0 to my AppleTV.
    After marking I want to use elements it shows my catalogs.
    But after syncing no photos are transferred to my AppleTV.
    I do get a circle with an explanation mark behind my AppleTV in iTunes, but it doesn't give any further information.
    The problem exists both when trying to sync all photos or selected catalogs from Elements.
    When I sync from folders or my pictures the pictures arrive without problem on my ATV
    Since I don't want all of my photos to be sent to my AppleTV, I would really like to use my Photoshop Elements.
    Anybody any suggestions?
    Thnx,
    Egbert

    Hello,
    I'm seeing exactly the same described bahavior using iTune 7.4.3 and PhotoShop Elements 5.0. I tried at least 4 versions of ITunes with all the same behavior. It's fine to sync from MyPictures but not from PhotoShop Elements Collections and these are exactly the same pictures that both are pointing to so no format issues. Same behavior from iTunes, a warning sign appears next to the AppleTV but when I click on it it does not show any text to describe the issue ?
    I doubt that the iTunes + Phitoshow elements 5.0 couple works at all ?
    Can anybody help with this ? Maybe Apple ?
    Regards
    Eric

  • Maximum number of  photos in iPhoto 5

    When I had my older G4 and older version of iPhoto (3.0 I think), scrolling and other functions would be extremely slow if my library go too big. So I split my iPhoto library into several smaller ones using iPhoto Library Manager. Now that I have a fast new iMac G5 and the latest version of iPhoto, I would like to merge libraries into one for convenience. With this hardware and OS 10.4.3, is there a suggested maximum number of photos not to exceed in the main iPhoto library for reasons of performance? I am not really a power user, but don't want scrolling and dragging to take forever like they did on the G4...

    Hi rsm,
    How many images are you talking about here?
    How many images in each Library do you have?
    What is the make of your camera?
    Steve Jobs told us 20,000, but we have really got mixed results on that number.
    Depending on your camera, it can make huge Makernote files that will considerably slow down iPhoto to the point of uselessness.
    You can do a search within iPhoto 5 here in the forum for "Makernote" so you will understand the problem.

  • What is the maximum number of photos in a iphoto book?

    What is the maximum number of photos in an iphoto book?

    Depends on the theme and the page layouts you - choose - a book has a maximum of 100 pages and as far as I have seen the most photos on a page is 16 - so 1600 would be the Max if you used 100 pages of 16 photos each
    for an overview of page layouts for iPhoto '09 (all are still valid in iPhoto '11 - with some more added) see Liz Castro's web site - http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage
