Memory usage Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - How many images are too many?

My wife and I are having a discussion about the memory allocation of Adobe PSE 9.
We run both of our profiles logged in on a 27" iMac top end from May, 2010, with 12 GB of RAM.
She had a number of pictures open (let's say 20 - 25) that she was working on editing. Trying to shut the program down or work within it, the spinning wheel of death made a cameo appearance and brought the system to a crawl.
I ran Activity Monitor and it said that she had 746 MB of memory free out of 7.39 GB active and 11.27 GB used. With each image I closed, I gained an additional 5 - 7 MB of free memory.
Once I force quit PSE 9, that number jumped to nearly 2.5 GB free.
For those with experience using PSE 9, can you give me an indication:
How many images do you have open that you're working with at the same time?
For those people with more Mac OS X experience, would having 750 MB free out of 12 GB reduce the computer to a crawl?
Thanks in advance.

As a general rule of thumb (some will disagree with me) if your machine has about 500MB of Free RAM or less this will slow down the computer significantly. Also as a general rule you can never have too much RAM. One nice thing about your machine is it can be upgraded up to as much as 32GB of RAM however 8GB chips are EXTREMELY expensive right now and currently only OWC sells a kit. You can upgrade to 16GB for a lot less, whether you need it or not no one here can say for sure. I would continue to keep an eye on Activity Monitor and keep my first sentence in the back of your mind.

How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to upgrade to Aperture?

How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to updgrade to Aperture?

Hi Terrence, this is what happens, all too often when I click on something, sometimes it takes me 5 more clicks on the mouse while moving the cursor around to get rid of it. The one below popped up as I clicked on my junk mail.
The next one popped up when I was trying to get on to a site. This happens all the time. Don't know why it is happening. It happens on iPhoto, Aperture, everywhere I go, FaceBook...everywhere and at any time. So frustrating. I don't know if this is normal, but this was happening just before my last mac died a year ago.

TS3276 how many addressees are too many for the iCloud server?

When working with lots of shorter sequences, i find it much easier to negotiate around the different scenes etc.
If you label each sequence correctly, or logically... ie- intro, car chase, love scene etc, you can jump there quicker than scrolling along a huge timeline...
Also, consider processor load... FCP works alot quicker and efficiently with shorter sequences, as it's not having to calculate the content of a huge timeline... using the waveform display for example.... if you have the waveform visible, it can take FCP ages to reveal the graph down a long timeline, whereas, with a shorter timeline, it's virtually instant.
The main thing to look at during your edit process is organisation... you want to work smoothly, efficiently, and with as little anxiety as possible... organising your sequences for the initial assembly edit can help keep a clear head.
Another advantage of using lots of different sub-sequences is 'un-seen error'... Even the most experienced, Uber-FCP-Masters make mistakes... and when working on shorter sequences, it's much easier to see those mistakes... or rather, mistakes jump out at you more obviously... When editing really long sequences, sometimes a weird slip, or slight momentary laps of concentration can cause something to mess up right down the other end of the timeline... and it goes un-noticed...
When you have finished all your 'sub-sequences', copy and paste into one master sequence... do not nest the sub-sequences into the master...
all the best

How many DADs are too many?

I've read on mod_plsql performance tuning pages that fewer is better but how much of a hit does another DAD really cause? I'm wondering if we could stop running multiple applications under a DAD and break them up by application. Say we went from 6 to 20 as an example.

Each DAD requires Apache to set up a handler struct for the DAD - and if the DADs are configured with connection pools, additional memory for these are also needed.
So in that respect a DAD is no different than a mod_perl location handler, or a mod_php location handler, and so on. Same basic Apache configuration, performance and scalability rules apply.
That said, I have 37 DADs on a production Apache server (web front-end to several RACs, and SE and EE databases). The little web server is a dual core AMD Sunfire server. And not showing any strain providing 100's of users access to a large number of Apex applications.

How many photos are too many to import at once?

My good ol' iPhoto 6.0.6 crashes these days when I try to import photos from my iPhone to my MacBook. I inadvertantly have built up to more than 4000+ photos on phone (at least 3000 already on iPhoto but I did not delete from phone) so trying to get most recent set imported (using 'only import non-duplicates). (And yes, will want to delete a good chunk off of phone once I know they are safely stored elsewhere, and backed up, so that iPhoto doesn't have to search and compare thousands at a time.)
I suspect I am out of luck bc. I see that I already have 12 890 photos (38.GB) in iPhoto. Using OX 10.6.8, 1GB ram and have 156 GB available. Is my set-up too old/small to handle such a big import all at once? It seems to quit part way into the import and when I open iPhoto the next time there are files to be recovered. I wanted to upgrade to the newest iPhoto but I think my OS doesn't support it. I know I will have to upgrade my whole computer soon but had hoped among other things to get these photos sorted with what I have now.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

With 1 gig of Ram yes it will be very easy to overwhelm the import process.
Use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to get the files from your phone to a folder on the desktop, then import from there in batches.

Flatten a Key Value Pair...how many joins are too many?

Hello,
So, a product can have many attributes...things that describe the product. In our 3rd party ERP, these are stored in a key-value manner.
product_code
attribute_code
attribute_value
etc.
Now, for some products there are 150+ attributes....you can pretty much guess where this is going...
User wants a report that shows an product_code and it's attributes on a single line (in separate columns) for Excel manipulation(s).
So, the SQL would require joining the same attribute table as many times as there are distinct attribute_codes for a given product_code.
If there are 150 named/distinct attributes that need to be lined up, this would mean 150 joins on that one table.
OR write scalars for each attribute
OR write a function that fetches the attribute_value when you pass the product_code and attribute_code and call this function 150 times in the SQL select list.
Yes, I know, I should benchmark each approach and select the one that works best....BUT, I would like to poll the wisdom of outstanding individuals on this group to see which of the 3 approaches would be preferred.
Oh and the users typically "query" hundreds to thousands of products and want this result set.
We are still on the terminally supported Oracle 10g database on Linux.
Thanks,
Manish

How many licensed users can you have under one serial number for Adobe Photoshop Elements 9?

I would like to know how many computers I can install my Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on under one serial number? Thank you!

If you purchased the boxed product you can even install one on a PC and one on a Mac.

I recently had a compromised computer now repaired, lost photoshop, it has been reinstalled, HOW do I reinstall images to program, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 from a back up CD???

How do I reinstall images to a ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 program fro a backup CD??? computer was infected and sub sequently
repaired , reloaded ADOBE now wish to reload images from backup CD....HOW do I do it????

I'm going to assume that you have reinstalled PSE9 but now want to get your catalog back. If you created your backup using the inbuilt PSE File> Backup Catalog feature, then in the newly installed version you would run File> Restore Catalog.
If you used a third party backup tool, or just copied the image files elsewhere then a lot will depend on whether or not you also backed up, or can still access, the catalog files. Give some more detail about this 'backup CD'.
Cheers,
Neale

How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

How to import photos from iPhoto Library to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor?

I can't use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit photos from iPhoto Library. If I choose File, Open, and then select 'iPhoto Library', error message is "could not complete your request because of a program error."

You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.

How do I Reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

You could try downloading from here
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html
Download and save both files to the same folder then double click on the file2 (a .exe file) to start the unpack of the other file. May take a little while to get going.
Or you could copy the contents of the DVD to a memory stick on the PC with the DVD drive and then use that.
