Missing thumbnails in effects panels - PSE 10 - PC-Win7

The individual thumbnails for filters, layer styles, photo effects, all effects are missing.  This happened previously and I reinstalled PSE.  They appeared.
This evening earlier, the filters (did not pay attention to the other 3) were showing but now nothing appears in any of the 4 categories.  I have reset the panels without success. 
The thumbnails for 'contents' appear to be okay.

Hi,
I would suggest posting this query in the Adobe Photoshop Elements forum.
Thanks

  • Missing editing components from my effects panel

    I just started using my Premiere Elements software on a Mac after having first used it on a PC.  I am trying to edit something and noticed that many of my keying effects are missing from the effects panel.  How do I find or restore them?  I need the keying effects for green and blue screen but all thosse are missing.  Please help.  Thanks!

    Although the operations of Premiere Elements Windows and Mac are very similar, there are differences.
    One of the differences is in the keying effects, such as Chroma Key, Green Screen Key, and Blue Screen Key. Many will steer you in the direction of Videomerge as a possible workaround. Not one of my favorites. But, you can check it out to see if it works for you.
    Please take a look at my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte as a possible replacement for the keying effects not present in Premiere Elements Mac. This blog post would apply to Premiere Elements 11 as well as 12.

    As for other Premiere Elements Windows and Mac differences, I have reported some in another of my blog posts directed to PE11: Mac Information Round Up
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/08/pe11-mac-information-round-up.html
    I am strictly an Elements Windows user. So, that blog post was one of my initial steps to get acquainted to Premiere Elements Mac.
    Please review.
    Thanks.

  • HELP please, missing the Thumbdatabase.db3 file; actions disappear from Effects Panel

    I hope someone can help me, I'm totally frustrated and confused.  Whenever I install a new action, previously installed actions disappear from the Effects Panel!  Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it?  Also, I have no ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the folder: Photoshop Elements 7.0/Locale/en_US    Shouldn't it be there?  Can anyone help me with both these issues?  Thanks so much.

    TexasErin, you have solved the whole problem!!!!   You have me jumping for joy!  I've been dealing with this for three days and ready to give up entirely, completely discouraged that no one seemed to know the cause or how to fix this "case of the disappearing actions"!  (BTW, I found the missing ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the Photshop Elements\ 7.0 folder.  But I had to click the 7 and completely open the folder to see it.  It was not visible in the "tree" on the left side of the panel where all the drives/folers are displayed.)
    Your answer completely nailed the issues and fixed them!  Most helpful was your suggestion to paste actions directly into the Photo Effects folder, and NOT put actions into their own folders in Photo Effects.  I made that mistake and had about 3 folders containing actions in Photo Effects.  I got rid of them, pasted all the ATN, PNG and XMLs directly into Photo Effects.  I deleted the MediaDatabase.db3, started PSE, and waited a minimum of 30 minutes for it rebuild.
    That was another piece of very helpful advice you gave -- to wait unitl the rebuilding message disappears, cursor returns to normal, etc.  Your entire answer was so clear and precise and right on target, I'm going to print it and hang it on my wall.  Are you one of the Adobe Experts?  You definitely sound like one, or should be considered one if not!  I'm SO grateful, thanks a million!!! 

  • Thumbnails vanished from Effects Panel

    The effects panel has no thumbnails availble. When I click on the "More Menu" at the top right of the effects panel the options displayed for thumbnail size etc don't make any difference.
    I purchased Photoelements 9 last week and these thumbnails were avaible when I first installed the program.
    Thanking you in anticipation

    Okay, then you're stuck, I'm afraid. There's a known bug in the app store version that it doesn't care bediddly about mediaDatabase.db3. You can delete it and it never comes back and it doesn't change a thing as far as PSE is concerned. It's very strange. People who have thumbnails can throw it out and they still see exactly what was there before they did.
    You could try removing it and removing every scrap of anything adobe from the preferences and also the remembered state of PSE (your username/library/saved application state), and reinstalling, but I don't know if that will force it, either.

  • How can I view both the layers panel & effects panel in PSE 11?

    I have PSE11 and purchased Paint the Moon effects.  How can I view both the Layers panel and the Effects panel at the same time?  Was this an option in older versions of PSE that are used in the Paint the Moon tutorials?

    At the very bottom right of the editor window click the little arrow to the right of the More button and choose Custom Workspace. Then your panels will behave the way they did in earlier versions--you can drag them out of the bin, see more than one, remove panels from The Clump, etc.

  • Missing New Document Window when opening new document, along with other menu items: Object style, effects panel, etc.

    I am missing many elements, it seems in my InDesign program.  How can this be?  I am taking a course at the local college (inDesign CS6), and when going through the book and steps, I keep noticing that I am missing things.  For example:  When I open a New Document - no new document window shows up on my screen, and there is no way to change the page size, etc that shows up. 2.) There is no Object Styles panel - Window>Styles>Object Styles - but the Object Styles option doesn't exist.  3.) There is no Effects panel to be found, either. As I continue the course, more and more things keep showing up like this.  What is going on?  I am not doing something wrong; my instructor verified that indeed these things seem to be missing.  I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium disk for Windows OS.  Please help!
    I did have trouble installing the disk, but thanks to someone in the forum, I was able to drag everything to the desktop and it installed that way.  Could that be why this is happening?

    The Knowledge Base plugin is not required, but the Master Page is, so there's definitely an install problem. Go back to Help, and hold down the Ctrl key while you click on About InDesign. What is the full version number in the upper left of the dialog that appears?
    Also, go to Adobe - Exchange : Download the Adobe Extension Manager and download and install the latest version of the CS6 extension manager.

  • Edit Effect Panel not working after reinstalling PSE 9

  • I just reinstalled PSE 9 and now my edit effects panel doesn't work when I click on it. Help!

    If anybody had this problem and has the solution, please share and I'll be a happy camper again. I have Window Vista. Thanks.

    Hi,
    When you are saying that the edit effect panel doesn't work, Do you mean there is nothing in the panel (It is an empty panel) or there are items but when clicked nothing is happening ?
    Also, Is it the case with Edit Effect panel only or other panels are also behaving in same way ?

  • Effects Panel not working correctly

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, Home Premium and using PSE9.  When I open PSE in Full Edit and go to  the Effects Panel, the Filters work just fine, but the Layer Styles will not open (or show anything) and the Photo Effects will not open ( or show anything).  I did rename the MediaDatabase.db3 file as MediaDatabase.old, following instructions given in a PSE9 class I am taking....but have done nothing else with that file, and then is now a new MediaDatabase.db3 file under the "old" listing....so two files there.
    I have no idea what to do to correct this....and I did close everything and close PSE and also my PC...let them rest a while, and then restarted the PC and reopened PSE9, and still the Layer Styles and Photo effects did not work.  I hope someone can understand my problem and help....in simple "baby steps".  Thanks

    Should I delete the file named mediaDatabase.old?  I am a senior
    "dummie"  and just want to be sure what you are telling me.
    I did delete the editor's pref files....I understand that one.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Install layer styles in effects in pse 8

    unable to install some layer styles in effects-please advise how I can complete installations.

    Well, I don't know where windows explorer comes in, but you want to take the .asl files (you must unzip them if they're in a zip file), and put them into C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photosho Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles. Then you will need to delete the file MediaDatabase.db3, which is in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photosho Elements\8.0\locale\en_US. When you next start PSE give it time to rebuild this file before you do anything (when you see the icons reappear in the effects panel, it's done).

  • Can anyone help me find my lost layer styles and photo effects in the Effects Panel?

    I am using the trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded and tried to install a glitter style. When I went back to my workspace I had no layer styles or photo effects in the Effects panel....not one. The filters are the only ones there now. What have I done?

    Quit the editor, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_US (or your location) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. When you restart the editor, give it time to rebuild the panel contents before you try to use PSE.

  • Not downloading Artwork and Effects panel

    I am using Photoshop Elements 5.0. around 1.5 year, and met the problem for the first time.
    Artwork and Effects panel doesn't have drop out window so I can't choose any effect to use it.
    The same with Create panel - it doesn't have any patterns for creation.
    jpg. screenshots are attached.
    This is what I tried:
    1. Restart computer - no effect.
    2. Repair the program with original disc - at some point the windows showed up: "Please, insert the disk: 1" and the only thing for me is to stop repair. Futhermore, now I am not able to start the disk at all.
    I would really appreciate your help.

    Hi,
    Please follow the following steps:
    1. Close PSE
    2. Go to this location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0
    3. Delete MediaDatabase.db3 and ThumbDatabase.db3 from the above location
    4. Relaunch PSE.
    On launch the database will be rebuilt and the panels should appear fine.
    Thanks/Tarun

  • The effects panel in Elements 9 is now blank since installing a trial of Creative Cloud.  Help?!

    I have been using Elements 9 for years and decided to install a trial of PS and Bridge via Creative Cloud.  Since installing it, the effects panel in Elements is blank.  I have tried closing and reopening it and have also tried restarting my computer with no luck.  I am running OS 10.8 on a MacBook Pro.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks so much!

    The simplest thing is to uninstall PSE via the uninstaller in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, and then reinstall it.
