Missing Stack/Version Set opt. when "move to removable" with album

I'm using windows XP and I occasionally move pictures to a DVD and retain thumbnails for organization. If I use picture that DO NOT belong to an album and do a "copy/move to removable disk" I get three options (move, stacks, versions). If I use a picture that IS IN AN ALBUM and do a "copy/move to removable disk" I only get the single move option, the include stacks and versions set aren't grayed out, they simply aren't there. I'm working with photoshop elements 6 and have got the same results with photoshop elements 7.
The work around I have is to move all unsorted pictures into an album and REMOVE the pictures from the albums I want from that album into the unsorted/unassigned. This is really annoying because I'm trying to organize pictures with albums and backup to dvd (2) for safe keeping and not cluttering up the computer with pictures.
Does anyone else experience this? Anybody have a solution? I want a simple way to move to DVD and only retain linked thumbnail on computer.

Tony,
I dont think the solution is written down anywhere its just one of those things you figure out after using the Organizer for a really long time.
PSE albums have annoying behavior with respect to stacks and version sets. If you put one photo from a stack/set into an album, the entire stack/set gets placed in the album, and if you delete one photo in a stack/set from the album, all the photos from the stack/set get removed. The behavior you discovered you can only move the top photo in a stack/set is strangely inconsistent, but not surprising. Adobe has introduced a number of sloppily designed features in 6 and 7.

Stacking Version Sets

Does anyone know how to combine version sets? When I imported my photos they came across individually and it will take me hours to stack them one by one.

If your photos are no longer in version sets, the best you can do is stack them. There is an auto-stack feature, which should stack photos with similar capture dates, see http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/smart-events.html
If you are importing photos that were previously had been imported into Photoshop Elements, you are doing it wrong. YOu need to find the previous PSE catalog and then open that, and your version sets should be intact.

Move iphoto library with albums from imac to a new macbook proac

I have an approximately 7,000 photo iPhoto library that I want to move from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro. I want to do it completely to that albums I have already structured are retained. Can I do this and if so, what is the best way.
The older computer has iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. The newer one has iPhoto '11 version 9.1.1

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Understanding Version Sets, Stacks, Picks, & Album Picks

Aperture's documentation is very good in most respects (adjustments being the major exception), but I found it very difficult to put my head around the whole version set / stacks / picks / album picks thingy.
While working on some images this morning, it all became clear.
1. Version Sets vs. Stacks
A Version Set is a single Master image with two or more Versions.
Version Sets have a light gray border around the contained images, and a single dark gray border around all those images in the Version Set.
A Stack is a collection of versions that do not use the same Master.
A Stack can contain single Versions or Version Sets (and Version Sets remain grouped within a Stack: you'll see a light gray border around the Version Sets and a dark gray border around everything in the Stack).
If you Stack two or more Version Sets, and then choose the Unstack command, all the Versions become separated--even if they share the same Master (i.e., UnStacking a Stack does not result in Version Sets, as you might expect--instead, it results in all individual Versions).
You can re-Stack these separated Versions that share the same Master, and you'll get a Version Set (light gray border surrounded by dark gray border) automatically (which is good, since there is no Create Version Set command).
From all these results, it appears that a Version Set is simply a Stack where each Version shares the same Master. It is different from other Stacks in that these Versions have a common light gray border.
2. Picks vs. Album Picks
Create an Album and add two separate images (i.e., two Versions with different Masters). Call it Album1.
Duplicate the Album. Call it Album2.
In Album1, create 3 different cropped versions of image1 (so you can tell the Versions apart). Likewise, create 2 different cropped versions of image2. You should now have 2 Version Sets in each album.
To help keep track of which Version is the pick, press 'T' to turn on image overlays so you can see the Version Title when you pause your mouse over an image.
Click on the number in the top left corner of each Version set to condense them. Notice that the left-most image (the Pick) is the image you se in the condensed Version Set. The same image will appear in Album1 and Album2.
Open the Version Set again, and click on the right-most image, then click the Pick button on the top toolbar (not the Album Pick button; the Pick button). Notice the rightmost image physically moves to the leftmost position. Close the Version Set and notice that this Version is now the one that displays when the Version Set is condensed.
Go into Album2 and condense the Version Set there, too. Notice that the same Version as in Album1 is the Pick. That's because we have not selected an Album Pick yet. The default Pick is the Pick for all albums until you pick an Album Pick for one or more albums.
While in Album2, open the first Version Set and select the right-most image in the Version Set. Now click the Set Album Pick button on the top toolbar. Notice no images move this time (compare that to clicking the Pick button on the toolbar). Instead, a black checkmark in a gray circle appears over the image. This means this Version is the Album Pick. Collapse this Version Set in Album2, and notice that the Album Pick image is what shows in the condensed Version Set. Now go back to Album1, and you'll notice there is no checkmark on any images. Collapse the first Version Set, and you'll see the left-most image (the default Pick) is the image that shows up on the collapsed Version Set. If you wanted to, you could open up the Version Set, select the middle image and click the Set Album Pick button, and the middle image would represent the Version Set in Album1, while the 3rd image would represent the Version Set in Album2. Version Sets can have no Album Picks, in which case the default Pick (the leftmost image) is what is selected for a collapsed Version Set.
OK, let's have some real fun now! Select the first Version Set, then command-click on the second Version Set to select both Version Sets. Now right-click (or control-click) on one of the images and select Stack. Both Version Sets should be combined into a single Stack, but you should still be able to see the light gray border around the two Version Sets within the Stack.
Click outside the Stack to deselect all the Versions. Now click on the left-most Version in the right-most Version Set. Click the Pick button on the top toolbar. Notice the entire right-most Version Set moves to the left to become the (default) Pick! Press command-Z to undo your change.
Now click on the right-most Version in the right-most Version set. Click the Pick button on the top toolbar. Notice that, not only does the entire right-most Version Set move to the left, but also the rightmost Version moves to the left-most position within the Version Set! You're not only telling Aperture to make the second Version Set the Pick for this Stack, you're also telling it that the right-most Version within that Version Set is the Pick for the Stack.
Play around with setting the Album Pick within each Stack and comparing Album1 with Album2 when you collapse the Stack.
This is a fun exercise that can really help you understand the difference (and similarities) between Version Sets, Stacks, (default) Picks, and Album Picks.
Please correct anything that I'm misunderstanding, or feel free to add anything you've found out about these topics.

I thank you for the clarification on those matters, while I have used stacks quite a bit I have not yet explored in full detail the Version Set concept (though I had a rough idea of what it did). That was a great job of investigation.
To help bring a similar level of understanding to others regarding the Aperture adjustment tools (which as you note are not well documented), I have published an Adjustment Tool Guide (2 MB PDF) that covers all of the Aperture adjustments - you can find it at:

PSE13 Organizer: stacks and version sets do not expand

Converted three catalogs from PSE12 show the stacks/versions sets overlay symbols in organizer but there seems to be no way to expand the stack/version set. All the menu choices for doing this are disabled.
Anybody else seeing this? Any workaround? Any ETA besides PSE 14 or higher for a fix?

I had the same issue. It took me a lot of time playing with the interface before I finally figured out the problem. Even though, when you double click a photo (single view) from within the default grid view, you "do" get the option to expand a stack or version set (not greyed out). However, it does not work. My frustration with that is that since it was not greyed out you would naturally expect it to be functional and it is not. In grid view the option is greyed out however that caused confusion as well since this option works in Elements 12 default view. So, one assumes it is a defect. Right? So the solution is to switch the grid view to detail view (view -> detail). Once you do that then the expand function works as expected. This should have been explained as I believe it is a change in functionality (user work flow) from earlier versions. I did try to find wording about this in the help file but no luck.

      Error when activating element .....

Hi Torben,
When a query/web template is to be transported , one has to select grouping of only necessary objects ( presuming data targets/ info objects are already transported) . And click on transport it will put all required objects in to single request.
Alternatively you can check table RSZELTTXT for findiing out meaning ful name of elements like 44LODF3U77ZTZAUT2N59KRITZ and try to manuaaly include in the transport request and transport the objects.
Hope that helps.

Problems using version set in Elements 9

Hi!
I have problems using the version set. When saving files in the Element 9 editor I can not mark the "version set" option, its not highlighted and not possible to mark or use. Is there a basic setting that I´m missing or??? I have the MAC version of Elements.
Also I have noticed that when I have edited a file in the Elements 9 editor and I come back to the Organizer the editor have changed the time of the photo? This means that its rather difficult to find the photo in the Organiser. It often change the time 1 or 2 hours.
As I cant use the version set I can not keep my tags on the edited pictures. Is there a setting for keeping the tags and catalogue belongings to a edited file?
As of today this software makes no sense to me and I can basically not keep working with it as it does not support basic functionality that I´m dependent on.
Best Re
A

I’m not seeing this in my own version sets in PSE9; when I expand the set every image has the same date and time under each thumbnail.
I’m wondering if you have used the “save for web” command at some point, which
wipes all EXIF metadata, including the date & time of the original - in order to optimize the image for display on the internet. So if you have imported such an image Elements has to make an estimate. Apart from this known scenario I can’t really explain what’s going on.

Error Activating DTP - error stack versioning

Hello Gurus,
I am trying to activate a DTP, which has gone inactive , not sure of what reason. When I try activating it, message pops up saying the Error Stack needs to be cleared. I tried to display the error stack, but no options to delete data in the error stack. Can anyone guide. I dont require that data into the data targets. How do I go about activating the DTP or deleting the data. Has anyone encountered this before. Thanks in advance.
Versioning not possible for PSA /BIC/B0001509
Message no. RSAODS009
Message no. RSBK068
Diagnosis
An incompatible change was made to the source of the data transfer process (DTP) and the error stack for the DTP contains data. Versions therefore need to be defined for the error stack. However, this is not permitted because any existing requests in the error stack are not included when filtering new records with the same key.
System Response
The DTP cannot be activated.
Procedure
Empty the error stack before the incompatible change. You have two options:
Delete the requests that resulted in records containing errors.
Update the data for the error stack with an error DTP.
Note however, that any errors that still exist may be updated back into the error stack.

Hi,
please go to DTP and delete the data in Error stack and then re import the request to your system.
regards
Dinakar

Version Sets - This must be super easy

I've been using PS Elements 5.0 for a while now but only the basics.
Recently I downloaded a trial version of DXO Optics Pro to optimize the quality of the photos (especially RAW files) from my DSLR.
I setup DXO as an alternate Editor program in PSE 5.0
When I edit the photo in DXO and leave DXO, close the external editor, then an enhanced copy of that image is saved in my catalog.
Here is the question, which I would have thought would have been obvious but I couldn't find or figure out the answer myself:
Is there a simple way to have that photo show up right beside the original in my PSE organizer? I was unable to tag the original file and the enhanced file to be in a version set. And, I have used version sets in the past but always with photos from the same date of import.
I haven't tried but I guess I could download some utility to modify the file date of the DXO enhanced image but that surely can't be the only way.
I simply want to keep the original but have the enhanced version displayed as the top photo in the version set.
While I'm asking, is there a better way to use the DXO plug-in? I tried the export function in PSE 5.0 but it got me confused and I ended up setting DXO as my secondary editor instead.
Thanks!

Tricia is correct. However, you may be asking another question, too. If you edit in photoshop, then your edited copies will appear in the organizer after you save them, either as a version set or not depending on what you check off on the window that appears as you save the edited picture. However, if you use another editor the edited copy you create will not automatically get into the organizer. Instead you need to save the edited copy, then go back to the organizer and import the picture into the organzier from your hard drive. To do so in organizer go to: file>get photos>from files and folder. (Photoshop Organizer obviously wants it to be easier to use photoshop for editing rather than some other software *grin*)

Elements 13 expand version sets

Just installed PS Elements 13 and cannot expand version sets. I can go into Editor and open the original of the version set, but when I save that photo, it replaces the existing one in the organizer. Geez.

Well, I discovered the problem. Under "View", you must check "Details" to get the version set expansion arrow.

Open GL issue after latest updates: Missing GL version

Having issues with OpenGL after latest updates to OSX and Safari. iTunes will not display cover art and Angry Birds responds glewInit failed: Missing GL version. The is a Mac Pro with 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.
Anyelse seen this? How is this fixed?

Final chapter in this saga for anyone else who experiences this.......run reparPermissions against your disks prior to upgrading. After having to rebuild the boot disk a couple of times and upgrade, had no problems with 10.7.4 but would always get Missing GL Version after Safari update. Ran DiskUtil and repaired permissions prior to Safari update and finally got it to pdate without causing GL issue.
Still working on how to not need to delete my previous backups when rebuilding machine (apparently TimeMachine always tries to create a new back sparse folder and thus may waste original space from your previous backups).
Thanks to A Brody for the suggestion about repairing disk permissions!

How can I avoid the annoying business of unchecking SAVE AS VERSION SET

Using PSE11 on my iMac as a pro photographer is generally easy, but I'd like to simply save without having to uncheck SAVE AS VERSION SET. I don't need version sets, only the image I'm saving and that's that. I've tried various resetting of Preferences, but when I restart PSE the check reappears. What might seem trivial becomes time-consuming when you save new images all day. Interesting that Adobe doesn't mention how NOT to have the box for SAVE AS VERSION SET checked when you first save, another case of software programmed to do more than you want it to do and the user having to go to work to figure out how NOT to be helped where it's not wanted.

If that option is supposed to be sticky and it’s not, perhaps the preferences file is corrupted and needs reset:

Version sets in 12 not working correctly

Do other people have an issue in Photoshop Elements 12 with it not consistently saving photos in version sets? someties it works correctly and somethimes it doesn't and it also bumps me out stating it is a new photo. i do have it configured to always save in version sets and to not notify me with new photos?

Thank you so much. We'll see if this fixes the problem. I had worked with
Adobe for many many hours in August and they couldn't figure out why it was
doing this. how come they don't know their own product!!!
