No locationmarkers in Places PSE 11?
Camera: Pentax K5
System: Windows 7
I used Geosetter for manually adding gps to metadata.
I also used Geotag Photos pro on my Iphone.
In both cases gps data is visible in metadata.
In Geosetter, Flickr and (exported) Google Earth the locations of the pictures are shown as expected.
But why don't they show up in Places PSE 11?
Did you check Complete Metadata in Info Panel? Select a file, open info panel, expand Metadata header and move the switcher to Complete side. You should be able to see GPS info if present in the file.
Thanks

PSE 7 won't launch in Vista 64
I recently got a new PC with Vista 64. I loaded my PSE 7 using the "Windows XP" mode and everything seemed to go well. The desktop icon looked different and the program would not launch. I got the "can't find the file" Looking at the program file, there isn't any exe. file at all.
I then downloaded the same program, PSE 7 from the Adobe site and it runs just fine. But, it won't accept my serial number from my CD.
Does anyone have any ideas?Actually, Windows XP compatibility mode and C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder are independent of each other.
The x86 folder is where 32-bit programs get installed on Vista 64, regardless of whether they need XP compatibility mode. The PSE 7 installer will automatically place PSE in the x86 folder, since PSE is a 32-bit program.
There is no need to install PSE 7 on Vista 32 or Vista 64 by running the installer in XP compatibility mode -- that may well be contributing to your problems. PSE 5.0.2, 6, and 7 are fully Vista compatible.
Another person encountered very similar problems. He too then downloaded the free trial and had it run successfully. Then he installed from CD again, and the installer asked to uninstall the free trial; he said "yes" and the CD installation succeeded:

I have resized my picture to 9.7 X 7.7 inches to fit a particular frame. When I go to print I choose "Center" and I choose 8.5 X 11 paper size and "print preview". However, when I hit "Print" the preview window comes up showing my picture in the upper left part of the page and it prints out a a smaller size. What am I doing wrong?

I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS : As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order" IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?
Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

I am getting more and more frustrated by recent changes after having to update to PSE 12 from PSE 8 after a friend updated my computer system.
I am seventy seven and not compouter literate but I do try very hard to understand how things work
I have discovered after help from others how to add a tag to a place name but I have to do that via a world map which I do not like as it apprears in the Place tags as UK then a drop down with the new place tag.
Here is an attemot at a screen shot of the problem and how I would like tags to appear in futrure. ie as Strumpshwa, Titchwell etc NOT as UK>England>West Tisted. Do hope I have explained myself clearly so that someone can help.
IN PSE 8 it was so simple
Nobody more surpruied than me to see this screen shot appear
Over to you please for simple instructiosn.
Thank you,
Brian.Hi Neileh,
Thank you so much for all your suggestions but I think I have finally reached terminal despair .
I did try and send an email to PSE but they seem to me to have a contemptible approach to users and I could not find how to send an email to PSE but kept being returned to forums.
Fir the time being I have had enough and I am growing more depressed by the lack of customer support and could not recommend the programme to others.
It may of course just be my ignorance of computers but I cannot be alone and so I am left with my present experience that PSE staff are unhelpful.
Huge thanks to you for taking so much trouble and I feel I have let you down for which I apologies.
The adding of PLACES in the Keyword drop down list is a palliative to my mind and not a cure for the problem as reasonable users would expect.
Please if you crack it please email me.
Warmest regards,

Importing existing GPS tags to PSE 12 places
Good evening,
after making my first steps in the world of RAW-photography with lightroom, I wanted to add the ability to edit digital photos. After comparing my options, I decided to choose Elements 12.
As I already had some keyword-tags in Lightroom, I imported them to Elements - so far, so good. But what I did not find so far was the possibility to "import" my GPS-tagged metadata into the places-tags. Seemingly I have to retag them again, which is annoying, but would be a reasonable way for existing photos.
When going on a photo trip, I currently use a GPX-tracklog to easily add the necessary GPS-information via lightroom. Is there any way to do so in Elements 12?
I wonder what is your workflow when adding GPS data to your photos?
Thank you for sharing your ideas,
all the best,
GilhinHI Jon,
thank you for getting back to me. This process refers to using PSE as an external editor. Unfortunately this is not what I am looking for.
What I like on the PSE Organizer is that it adds places in a hierarchic manner (Like Germany => Bavaria => Munich => Marienplatz) and that I can change the name of the last level. That is what I am missing in Lightroom. All my pictures are geotagged, so I do not want to retag them again.
Therefore I am either looking for a possibility that PSE recognizes the GPS data or that anyone recommends a Lightroom plugin that will do the same in Lightroom.
Thank you for your ideas,
kind regards,
Connor -
Photo placement when printing in PSE 8.0
In PSE 6.0 I was able to adjust where my 6X4 photo was positioned on an 8.5 X 11photo sheet to maximize the use of the paper. How is that done in PSE 8.0? It always centers the photo on the sheet and I cannot find the setting to change that.
No, you can't change it. This is one of the "improvements" in PSE 8. Create a new blank file the size of the paper you normally use for printing, at the resolution you normally use, and save this as your printing template. Then when you want to print, copy/paste the photo you actually want to print into this file and use the move tool to put it where you want it.

In PSE 11, is it possible to associate a KEYWORD PLACE Tag with a pin marker on the PLACES map?
I would like to be able to tag a photo (ie: many photos at one time) with a KEYWORD tag for a place and then be able to find those photos on the map under the PLACES tab.
It can be done but it’s not very intuitive.
1. Click Places and select an existing pin on the map, say with 20 photos which will get highlighted.
2. Switch to Media tab and keeping the original selection highlighted you then select the other photos, say five new images you wish to include (use ctl+click)
3. Click the add places button and when the Add Places dialog opens click the menu icon top right and choose deselect all.
4. Select the new photos using ctrl+click (the ones without the white icon top right of thumbnails) and drag to the pin. The number will increase to 25 in this example then click Done. -
PSE 12 Organizer Problem with , Media, People, Places, on top of Screen
Thanks for your help. On the top of the Organizer in 12, it has tabs for Media, People, Places, Events. They all have stacks sorted by name. However only in the Events tab, does it show the photo of the first picture in the stack. The other Tabs don't show a photo of the first picture in the stack. How can this be corrected?
Please double click a people stack and move the switcher "Faces|Photos" to Faces side. This switcher appears on the left corner just above the media grid.
Here if you can see some marked faces, right click >Assign an profile picture.
If generic faces are shown, you need to see individual images and name face rectangles in them as explained here-http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/adding-people.html
Thanks

Also wondering when I am editing my photos and open the editor from the Organiser, will be edits take longer if my photo files are saved to an external hard drive.
Elements will work with images stored on an external hard drive. Keep it connected to the same port.
Saving images may be slower (ehd's usually have a slower write speed) but if you keep the program on the internal drive, performance should be the same. -
Bugs I've Encountered In PSE 7
Here are all the reproducible bugs I’ve encountered in PSE 7. Problems added since my last posting are marked [N]. In the coming weeks, I’ll evaluate PSE 8 to see how many of these have been fixed.
I’ve reported all of these problems to Adobe. Almost all of them are in the Organizer. Based on all the reports on the forums, it appears that the Editor has far fewer problems than the Organizer. Perhaps that’s because the Editor shares the same code with the professional Photoshop, while the Organizer appears to be an orphaned consumer product whose development Adobe has moved offshore.
For reference, my computer is a midrange Vista laptop with a dual-core 1.9 GHz processor, 4 GB of memory, and a 7200 RPM disk (the same speed as desktop disks).
File Management and Tagging
Major Problems
[N] The conversion of a catalog from PSE 6 to PSE 7 doesn’t properly handle photos that are stored within the PSE 6 catalog folder (as occurs when PSE 6 was used to restore a catalog from a backup). As a result, it isn’t possible to save photos in version sets, and PSE 7 will create duplicate thumbnails in the Organizer for an edited file.
File > Backup/Restore Catalog doesn’t backup and restore audio in slide shows.
Using Folder Location view to move a folder containing hidden files imported in the catalog will silently fail to move the hidden files and will leave the unhidden files disconnected in the catalog.
When converting a previous-version catalog whose photos are stored inside the catalog folder, as occurs when you’ve previously used File > Restore Catalog with New Location, PSE 7 needlessly copies all those photos. If you have a very large catalog, this will waste huge amounts of disk space; and if there isn’t enough disk space to do the copy, the conversion will fail instantly with a generic non-explanatory error message.
After reconnecting a file on a network drive, PSE will let you import the file a second time, failing to recognize it as a duplicate. The catalog is left in an inconsistent state, with two entries in the volume table for the network drive, one upper case and one lower case.
The Organizer fails very ungracefully when two drives have the same volume serial number, e.g. because of the use of a disk-cloning utility.
I’m very disappointed that Adobe didn’t add the three lines of code that would have issued a warning when it discovered two drives with the same number. While most people will never encounter this, when it strikes someone, its symptoms are very mysterious.
The Reconnect command fails to reconnect when: you move your photos to a new drive, assign the drive the letter of the old drive to the new one, and leave both drives connected to your computer.
If a hard drive containing photos in the catalog gets its drive letter reassigned by Windows, then the left-hand folder pane of Display > Folder Location view shows the old drive letter, not the new one, as containing the photos.
This sounds innocuous, but it led a user on the forums to select the wrong drive when dragging and dropping a folder, permanently deleting some files. This bug and the previous one with Reconnect have the same underlying cause – the Organizer doesn’t update drive letters in its catalog.
Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents when more than one keyword tag is selected in the Keyword Tags pane.
Based on reports on the forums, there appear to be other situations where Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents, but they haven’t been easy to reproduce.
The Restore Catalog command puts the wrong path into the restored catalog for folders whose name starts with the catalog name, and it will mark files in those folders as missing. For example if the catalog is named “houses”, and a folder containing photos in the catalog is named “houses photos”, files in the restored catalog will have the path “houses\ photos\” instead of “houses photos\”.
Minor Problems
In File > Export, the Common Basename can no longer be empty, and a hyphen is added automatically, so you can no longer get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
You can get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. but you can’t get files named p1.jpg, p2.jpg, etc. – a hyphen is still added in that case.
Setting the Apply Metadata > Author or Copyright fields or the option Preserve Current Filename In XMP of the advanced options of the Photo Downloader causes duplicate files to be downloaded and imported.
Integration with Photoshop.com
Major problems
[N] Photoshop.com shows an incorrect date/time taken for photos with unknown month, day, or time.
For photos taken in years prior to 1970, the date/time shows as 12/31/1969 08:00 AM. For photos with year taken 1970 or later, the date/time shows as the the first month/day/minute/second in that time period in UTC that then gets converted to local time; e.g. “7/2/2005” gets shown as “7/1/2005 5:00 PM” for a user in PDT.
[N] Photoshop.com doesn’t obey the EXIF Orientation metadata field and can show photos rotated incorrectly, e.g. if they were rotated with the PSE option Edit > Preferences > Files > Rotate JPEGs/TIFFs Using Orientation Metadata.
Changes to the order of photos in a PSE album aren’t synced to Photoshop.com, and vice versa.
Adding a photo to a second synced album will cause Photoshop.com to lose any changes you’ve made with PSE’s Edit > Adjust Date And Time.
If you you rename a file that’s synced with Photoshop.com, Photoshop.com doesn’t pick up the new name (important if you’re using Photoshop.com as a backup service).
Only the top photo in a version set is synced with Photoshop.com (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup version sets).
When a stack is synced with Photoshop.com, all the photos in the stack are synced, but the fact that they were in a stack is lost (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup stacks).
Map View
Major Problems
Map view is unusably slow with more than about 6-8,000 mapped photos.
When I tested PSE 7 by importing 12,000 photos (the size of my catalog) that had GPS locations, the red push-pins didn’t blink uncontrollably as they did in PSE 6. But the Organizer crashed a number of times when I tried to zoom and pan the Map view until I was able to scroll the map to another country and then back again. The CPU continued to consume 80% of a single CPU (40% of two), even 10 minutes after I closed Map view. When I selected Limit Search to Map Area, PSE took over a minute to respond.
It takes 5 seconds to assign a keyword tag to a photo if there are 1,000 or more photos with map locations.
In PSE 7, it takes 3 seconds with 1,000 photos, 12 seconds with 8,000 photos, and 18 seconds with 12,000 photos.
Giving a map location to a tag assigned to hundreds of photos makes both the Keywords pane and the Map view unusably slow.
Giving a map location to a tag assigned to 2000 photos makes assigning any keyword tag to a photo very slow (see above). Searching on keyword tags takes 15 seconds, and a Show All takes 15 seconds.
Removing the map push-pin of a tag assigned to hundreds of photos mistakenly tries to update the metadata of each photo, which can take tens of minutes and fill up your recycle bin.
The weird thing is that assigning a map location to the tag doesn’t try to write the metadata of files with that tag.
Moving map locations always fails, silently (too bad if you want to record backcountry locations not namable via a place name).
If a photo with GPS coordinates is imported, it doesn’t show as a red push-pin on the map.
Scrolling the map or restarting the Organizer causes the pin to appear.
Color Management
Major Problems
The Organizer considers photos produced by cameras set to the color space Adobe RGB as untagged with a color profile, showing their colors incorrectly.
Metadata
Major Problems
When setting the Organizer’s date/time for imported photos containing EXIF:DateTimeOriginal but not XMP:DateTimeOriginal, PSE 7 doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time in years prior to 2007.
Edit > Adjust Date and Time doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time when setting date/times many decades ago, e.g. October 5, 1961 12:00 PM.
In Thumbnail View, the Organizer incorrectly orders files that have unknown time. For example, it will show a file dated 12/25/1976 8:00 PM PST after a file dated 12/26/1976 (unknown time) on a computer in time zone PST.
If you set a file's date/time fields to all unknown with Edit > Adjust Date And Time, the value of EXIF:DateTimeOriginal isn't cleared by File > Write Keyword Tag.
The File > Write Keyword Tag command doesn’t create or update .XMP sidecars for Nikon D300 or D80 .NEF raw files (but it does for Canon CR2 raw files).
New dates set by Edit > Adjust Date and Time sometimes get silently lost.
See http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Date/times_of_files for details and workarounds.
[N] Edit > Adjust Date and Time > Shift To New Starting Date And Time and > Shift By Set Number Of Hours writes the time in UTC rather than local time, as required by the standard, causing other tools to show the wrong date/time.
File > Write Keyword Tags and Properties fails to write the map location (GPS coordinates) of TIFFs (tested with TIFFs produced by the PSE Editor and the Nikon Coolscan V, Nikon Coolscan 5000, and Epson 4490 scanners).
File > Write Keyword Tags doesn’t write the map location (GPS coordinates) into the .xmp sidecar files of Nikon D80 or Canon G9 raw photos.
[N] The Organizer ignores correctly formatted EXIF GPS locations in some files that many other programs can read without trouble; this may be because the EXIF is encoded in little-endian byte order.
Minor Problems
[N] Deselecting the option Use “Last Modified” Date If EXIF Date Is Not Found does not work – the last-modified date is always used for an imported file that doesn’t contain an EXIF date.
The Properties – Metadata window shows the wrong value for Date Time Original when the month, day, or time is unknown.
Edit > Adjust Date and Time applied to a file with time “unknown” decrements the date by one day.
When you save an edited photo as a new file but not in a version set, the edited version picks up the date/time and caption of the original but not the keyword tags, star rating, or notes.
With the Import EXIF Caption option turned off, captions pre-existing in a file’s EXIF:ImageDescription metadata field reappear in the Organizer after invoking the Full Editor.
Searching
Major Problems
The timeline doesn’t correctly display date ranges spanning many years.
Using the Keyword Tags pane, you can no longer exclude a parent category from a search, e.g. exclude all photos tagged with any tag in the People category.
The User Guide gives two examples of how to use category exclusion that just don’t work in PSE 6 or 7. Interestingly, you can almost work around this by doing a text search of “not <category tag>”, e.g. “not People”. But this will also exclude photos that happen to have the word “people” in their filenames, captions, or notes, probably not what you want.
Find > By History > Imported On sorts the photo dates alphabetically, rather than by date/time, and it takes a couple of minutes on a large catalog, making the command almost useless; and it shows a scary message “Deleting Keyword Tags”.
[N] Searching with the Find Bar for “1 star and lower” doesn’t show photos with 0 stars.
Find > By Details > Rating Is Lower Than 1 Star does work.
Searching for “0 stars only” doesn’t work for photos in a catalog converted from PSE 5.
Searching with date ranges doesn’t properly handle time “unknown”.
Minor Problems
The Show All button sometimes doesn’t appear if you quickly type a query into the Search text box and hit Enter.
Setting a date range and then excluding two tags from the search clears the date range.
Show All doesn’t clear a date range set by Find > Set Date Range (can be very confusing).
Save Search Criteria As Smart Album isn’t available if a date range has been set but no other search criteria have been.
When searching, you can exclude a keyword tag and then include an album, but you can’t do it in the other order.
User Interface
Major Problems
On 1024x768 displays, and sometimes at higher resolutions, the Editor Print window is positioned to perfectly obscure the scroll bar of the drop-down list of printer profiles, leading people to think their printer’s profiles aren’t available.
This bug occurred with higher-resolution displays in PSE 6.
The menu bars don’t display if you have changed the screen DPI to be larger than 96 (as many people do on today’s ubiquitous high-res displays).
There is a workaround for both PSE 6 and 7. Set the option > Edit > Preferences > General > Use System Font. The result isn’t that pretty, since some of the application text will be large and some will be small, but it’s functional, and you’ll still be able to use the higher DPI with all your other applications.
Minor Problems
In the Properties window of Full Screen mode, if you click in the Notes field and do Ctrl-A to select all the text, then click in the Caption field and do Ctrl-A to select its text, the notes remain highlighted.
In the Organizer, Help > System Info reports the wrong amount for “Built-in Memory” on computers with more than 2GB of installed memory. (The command reports the correct amount in the Editor.)
The setting of View > Show Borders Around Thumbnails isn’t remembered after you restart PSE.
Copying a paragraph from Microsoft Word and pasting it into the Notes field of a keyword tag causes some of the spaces between words to be deleted.
Ctrl-A to select all text doesn’t work in the text fields of the Properties window.
Interestingly, you can use ctrl-A in the text fields of the full-screen mode Properties window.
In the full Editor, if at least one open photo is minimized to the Project Bin, Ctrl-Tab no longer cycles through the open windows.
Dialogs in the Editor sometimes bounce back when you try to move them.
Dates are shown by Display > Import Batch as 2\20\2008 rather than 2/20/2008.
In Create > Slide Show > Slide Show Preferences dialog, you can't use backspace or delete to clear the text in the Static and Transition Duration fields -- you need to select the text and then type over the selection (non-standard Windows behavior).
Escape doesn’t close the full-screen-mode Properties dialog.
You can’t use the Windows Explorer Tile command to tile the PSE Organizer and Editor windows.
The Editor window can’t be resized the standard Windows way by grabbing any edge, just the lower-right corner.
Alt doesn’t underline the shortcut letters of top-level menu items in the Full Editor (but it does in the Organizer).
The width of the Editor's Palette Bin can't be adjusted by dragging the left edge, as you can with all the other similar panes (Project Bin, Organizer Bin, Map View).
Slide Shows
Major Problems
The duration of a video clip included in a Slide Show is set to the default duration, not the length of the video clip, and right-click Edit Duration doesn’t change the clip’s duration.
For video clips, PSE 7 doesn’t enable the command to change the duration as it does for photos. But you can work around this by using Add Media > Photos And Videos From Folder to add the clip to the show.
An audio caption attached to a photo isn’t imported into a slide show even though the option Include Audio Captions as Narration is selected.
Editor
Minor Problems
[N] The Editor crashes if you invoke Quick Fix and use just one Touch Up tool (e.g. Whiten Teeth) and then save the file (but your changes are correctly saved).
The File > Save For Web command doesn’t remember the last settings (e.g. file format and quality) after your restart the Editor.
For a workaround, see http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Allow_Save_For.Just kidding. But, are you going to give us a bug comparison between 7 and 8 ? I will probably sit version 8 out and get 9 next year. Thanks for the list!
Juergen -
Since PSE 6 was released, I’ve tracked all the reproducible bugs I’ve encountered and reported to Adobe. I’ve tested these problems in PSE 8 and listed the results below – problems that appear to have been fixed in PSE 8 are marked [F], and problems that remain unfixed are marked [U].
Overview
There’s good and bad news. Adobe has fixed a number of serious bugs in the Organizer, but it has left most unfixed, even though they’ve been present since at least version 6. Even worse, the two major features introduced in the PSE 8 Organizer, face tagging and the keyword-tags text box, have show-stopper problems. And even worse yet, Full Screen view is now painfully slow with large catalogs.
The most important fixes address serious problems with PSE’s handling of drives that were introduced in version 6. PSE now notices when a drive’s letter has changed, a problem that has bedeviled many users upgrading or rearranging their drives. Also, PSE now ignores the case of UNC pathnames (network drives), no longer creating duplicate volumes for the same network drive. Unfortunately, one serious bug remains: PSE still gets horribly confused when there are two drives with the same volume serial number, and it still doesn’t even issue a warning.
But many long-standing problem areas remain: The Map View is an unusable toy. The handling of metadata is riddled with bugs. Folder Location view shows the wrong contents of folders. Searching has numerous bugs making it clumsy and confusing.
Overall, of all the bugs I’ve reported, PSE 8 fixes 8 of 46 major ones and 8 of 28 minor ones:

I’ve reported all of these problems to Adobe. Almost all of them are in the Organizer. Based on all the reports on the forums, it appears that the Editor has far fewer problems than the Organizer. Perhaps that’s because the Editor shares the same code with the professional Photoshop, while the Organizer appears to be an orphaned consumer product whose development Adobe has moved offshore.
For reference, my computer is a midrange Vista laptop with a dual-core 1.9 GHz processor, 4 GB of memory, and a 7200 RPM disk (the same speed as desktop disks).
New Problems in PSE 8
[U] PSE 8 crashes or gets intolerably slow after using the new Keyword Tags text box a small number of times.
On my 4 GB Vista 32 system, PSE crashes after tagging 41 photos.
[U] If you use the new Keyword Tags text box to apply an existing tag name with a comma in it, PSE will silently create two new tags instead.
Apply the existing tag “San Francisco, CA” will create two new tags, “San Francisco” and “CA”.
[U] After applying a tag, the Keyword Tags text box loses keyboard focus and you need to mouse-click in the box again to enter another tag.
Forcing the use of the mouse defeats the purpose of the Keyword Tags text box, which is to make tagging much faster.
[U] The Find > Find People For Tagging command locks up the Organizer for about 30 seconds after you click Done (even if you haven’t made any changes), when using larger catalogs.
On a catalog with 10,000 thumbnails showing, the cursor spins for 30 seconds after clicking done. But you can work around this by doing a tag search or setting a date range to have only a small number of thumbnails showing before you invoke the command.
[U] In the Find > Find People For Tagging command, when you select Add Missing Person, you usually can’t resize the selection box by grabbing the lower-right or lower-center handles, which are the handles that most right-handed people are likely to use.
If you move the mouse very quickly so that it is over the photo before the selection box appears, you can usually resize the box with those handles. But you have to be very quick.
[U] The Find > Find People For Tagging command doesn’t do auto-complete on pre-existing People tags, making it very hard to use with existing catalogs.
I have over two hundred People tags in my catalog. Because the command doesn’t auto-complete on pre-exisiting People tags and will silently create new tags, and because I don’t remember exact spellings (that’s the point of auto-complete!), I found myself creating duplicate tags (e.g. “John Ellis” instead of “John R. Ellis”, “Bob Smith” instead of “Robert Smith”). It’s painful to clean up such a mess.
[U] Full Screen view (F11) is much slower than in PSE 7 on larger catalogs.
With a 14,000-file catalog and all thumbnails visible, PSE 7 takes 6 seconds to invoke F11, while PSE 8 takes 13 seconds. With just 20 thumbnails visible (e.g. when working on the most recent import batch), PSE 7 takes 1 second, while PSE 8 takes 7 seconds. This makes selecting the good and weeding out the bad significantly slower.
[U] PSE doesn’t remember the settings if you toggle the Full-Screen Quick Edit Panel and Quick Organize Panel to disappear completely.
On 4:3 displays, it’s desirable to hide the panels completely in full-screen view, so you see the entire image without the panels overlapping them (that’s the point of full-screen view, no?). But PSE forgets the toggle settings, even in the same session.
[U] The keyword tagging in the Quick Organize Panel doesn’t auto-complete tags you type, making it useless with more than a dozen or so tags.
It’s worse than useless, since it will silently create a new tag if you mistype the name of an existing one. And the “tag cloud” is a silly toy that doesn’t help with hundreds of tags.
File Management and Tagging
Major Problems
[F] After reconnecting a file on a network drive, PSE will let you import the file a second time, failing to recognize it as a duplicate. The catalog is left in an inconsistent state, with two entries in the volume table for the network drive, one upper case and one lower case.
[F] The Reconnect command fails to reconnect when: you move your photos to a new drive, assign the drive the letter of the old drive to the new one, and leave both drives connected to your computer.
[F] If a hard drive containing photos in the catalog gets its drive letter reassigned by Windows, then the left-hand folder pane of Display > Folder Location view shows the old drive letter, not the new one, as containing the photos.
This sounds innocuous, but it led a user on the forums to select the wrong drive when dragging and dropping a folder, permanently deleting some files. This bug and the previous one with Reconnect had the same underlying cause – the Organizer didn’t update drive letters in its catalog. Fixed in PSE 8.
[F] The Restore Catalog command puts the wrong path into the restored catalog for folders whose name starts with the catalog name, and it will mark files in those folders as missing. For example if the catalog is named “houses”, and a folder containing photos in the catalog is named “houses photos”, files in the restored catalog will have the path “houses\ photos\” instead of “houses photos\”.
[U] Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents when more than one keyword tag is selected in the Keyword Tags pane.
Based on reports on the forums, there appear to be other situations where Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents, but they haven’t been easy to reproduce.
[U] The Organizer fails very ungracefully when two drives have the same volume serial number, e.g. because of the use of a disk-cloning utility.
I remain mystified that Adobe didn’t add the three lines of code that would have issued a warning when it discovered two drives with the same number. While most people will never encounter this, when it strikes someone, its symptoms are very mysterious (and a lot of people using cloning utilities).
[U] The conversion of a catalog from PSE 6 to PSE 8 doesn’t properly handle photos that are stored within the PSE 6 catalog folder (as occurs when PSE 6 was used to restore a catalog from a backup). As a result, it isn’t possible to save photos in version sets, and PSE 8 will create duplicate thumbnails in the Organizer for an edited file.
[U] File > Backup/Restore Catalog doesn’t backup and restore audio in slide shows.
[U] Using Folder Location view to move a folder containing hidden files imported in the catalog will silently fail to move the hidden files and will leave the unhidden files disconnected in the catalog.
[U] When converting a previous-version catalog whose photos are stored inside the catalog folder, as occurs when you’ve previously used File > Restore Catalog with New Location, PSE 8 needlessly copies all those photos. If you have a very large catalog, this will waste huge amounts of disk space; and if there isn’t enough disk space to do the copy, the conversion will fail instantly with a generic non-explanatory error message.
Minor Problems
[U] In File > Export, the Common Basename can no longer be empty, and a hyphen is added automatically, so you can no longer get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
You can get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. but you can’t get files named p1.jpg, p2.jpg, etc. – a hyphen is still added in that case.
[U] Setting the Apply Metadata > Author or Copyright fields or the option Preserve Current Filename In XMP of the advanced options of the Photo Downloader causes duplicate files to be downloaded and imported.
Integration with Photoshop.com
Major problems
[F] Adding a photo to a second synced album will cause Photoshop.com to lose any changes you’ve made with PSE’s Edit > Adjust Date And Time.
[F] If you you rename a file that’s synced with Photoshop.com, Photoshop.com doesn’t pick up the new name (important if you’re using Photoshop.com as a backup service).
[U] Photoshop.com shows an incorrect date/time taken for photos with unknown month, day, or time.
The date/time shows as the the first month/day/minute/second in that time period in UTC that then gets converted to local time; e.g. “7/2/2005” gets shown as “7/1/2005 5:00 PM” for a user in PDT.
[U] Photoshop.com doesn’t obey the EXIF Orientation metadata field and can show photos rotated incorrectly, e.g. if they were rotated with the PSE option Edit > Preferences > Files > Rotate JPEGs/TIFFs Using Orientation Metadata.
[U] Changes to the order of photos in a PSE album aren’t synced to Photoshop.com, and vice versa.
[U] Only the top photo in a version set is synced with Photoshop.com (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup version sets).
[U] When a stack is synced with Photoshop.com, all the photos in the stack are synced, but the fact that they were in a stack is lost (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup stacks).
Map View
Major Problems
[U] It takes 4 seconds to assign a keyword tag to a photo if there are 2,000 or more photos with map locations.
It takes 2 seconds with 1,000 photos, 6 seconds with 4000 photos, and 11 seconds with 8,000 photos, and 21 seconds with 12,000 photos.
[U] Map view is unusably slow with more than 8 - 10,000 mapped photos.
When I imported 12,000 photos (the size of my catalog) that had GPS locations, the Organizer crashed a number of times when I tried to zoom and pan the Map view. When I selected Limit Search to Map Area, PSE took over a minute to respond.
[U] Giving a map location to a tag assigned to hundreds of photos makes both the Keywords pane and the Map view unusably slow.
Giving a map location to a tag assigned to 1700 photos makes assigning any keyword tag to a photo very slow, 12 seconds. Searching on keyword tags and Show All each take 13 seconds.
[U] Removing the map push-pin of a tag assigned to hundreds of photos mistakenly tries to update the metadata of each photo, which can take tens of minutes and fill up your recycle bin.
The weird thing is that assigning a map location to the tag doesn’t try to write the metadata of files with that tag.
[U] Moving map locations always fails, silently (too bad if you want to record backcountry locations not namable via a place name).
[U] If a photo with GPS coordinates is imported, it doesn’t show as a red push-pin on the map.
Scrolling the map or restarting the Organizer causes the pin to appear.
Color Management
Major Problems
[U] The Organizer considers photos produced by cameras set to the color space Adobe RGB as untagged with a color profile, showing their colors incorrectly.
Metadata
Major Problems
[U] The File > Write Keyword Tag command doesn’t create or update .XMP sidecars for Nikon D300 or D80 .NEF raw files (but it does for Canon CR2 raw files).
The PSE 8 Write Keyword Tag command now gives a warning when you try to invoke it on a D300 .NEF raw file. Why PSE can write sidecars for Canon but not Nikon raw files is a mystery – it’s no harder to handle one than the other.
[U] File > Write Keyword Tags and Properties fails to write the map location (GPS coordinates) of TIFFs (tested with TIFFs produced by the PSE Editor and the Nikon Coolscan V, Nikon Coolscan 5000, and Epson 4490 scanners).
[U] File > Write Keyword Tags doesn’t write the map location (GPS coordinates) into the .xmp sidecar files of Nikon D80 or Canon G9 raw photos.
[U] The Organizer ignores correctly formatted EXIF GPS locations in some files that many other programs can read without trouble; this may be because the EXIF is encoded in little-endian byte order.
[U] New dates set by Edit > Adjust Date and Time sometimes get silently lost.
See http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Date/times_of_files for details and workarounds.
[U] Edit > Adjust Date and Time > Shift To New Starting Date And Time and > Shift By Set Number Of Hours writes the time in UTC rather than local time, as required by the standard, causing other tools to show the wrong date/time.
[U] In Thumbnail View, the Organizer incorrectly orders files that have unknown time. For example, it will show a file dated 12/25/1976 8:00 PM PST after a file dated 12/26/1976 (unknown time) on a computer in time zone PST.
[U] If you set a file's date/time fields to all unknown with Edit > Adjust Date And Time, the value of EXIF:DateTimeOriginal isn't cleared by File > Write Keyword Tag.
[U] Edit > Adjust Date and Time doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time when setting date/times many decades ago, e.g. October 5, 1961 12:00 PM.
[U] When setting the Organizer’s date/time for imported photos containing EXIF:DateTimeOriginal but not XMP:DateTimeOriginal, PSE 7 doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time in years prior to 2007, e.g. October 31, 2006 12:00 PM.
Minor Problems
[F] The Properties – Metadata window shows the wrong value for Date Time Original when the month, day, or time is unknown.
[F] When you save an edited photo as a new file but not in a version set, the edited version picks up the date/time and caption of the original but not the keyword tags, star rating, or notes.
Now, the edited version picks up date/time, caption, notes, and keyword tags, but not the star rating, which could be charitably interpreted as a plausible design decision.
[U] Deselecting the option Use “Last Modified” Date If EXIF Date Is Not Found does not work – the last-modified date is always used for an imported file that doesn’t contain an EXIF date.
[U] Edit > Adjust Date and Time applied to a file with time “unknown” decrements the date by one day.
[U] With the Import EXIF Caption option turned off, captions pre-existing in a file’s EXIF:ImageDescription metadata field reappear in the Organizer after invoking the Full Editor.
Searching
Major Problems
[U] The timeline doesn’t correctly display date ranges spanning many years.
[U] Using the Keyword Tags pane, you can no longer exclude a parent category from a search, e.g. exclude all photos tagged with any tag in the People category.
The User Guide gives two examples of how to use category exclusion that just don’t work in PSE 6, 7, or 8. Interestingly, you can almost work around this by doing a text search of “not <category tag>”, e.g. “not People”. But this will also exclude photos that happen to have the word “people” in their filenames, captions, or notes, probably not what you want. You can also use the text query “not tag:<category tag>”, .e.g. “not tag:places”, but this will exclude all tags containing “places” as part of their name – there is no way to get an exact match of a tag name.
[U] Find > By History > Imported On sorts the photo dates alphabetically, rather than by date/time.
When the results first display, they are now sorted by Imported From then (correctly) by Date/Time. However, if you click on the Date/Time column header to sort by that column, the dates are sorted alphabetically (incorrectly).
[U] Find > By History > Imported On takes a couple of minutes on a large catalog, making the command almost useless.
[U] Find > By History > Imported On shows a scary message “Deleting Keyword Tags” that is apparently harmless.
[U] Searching with the Find Bar for “1 star and lower” doesn’t show photos with 0 stars.
Find > By Details > Rating Is Lower Than 1 Star does work.
[U] Searching for “0 stars only” doesn’t work for photos in a catalog converted from PSE 5.
[U] Searching with date ranges doesn’t properly handle time “unknown”.
Minor Problems
[U] The Show All button sometimes doesn’t appear if you quickly type a query into the Search text box and hit Enter.
[U] Setting a date range and then excluding two tags from the search clears the date range.
[U] Show All doesn’t clear a date range set by Find > Set Date Range (can be very confusing).
[U] Save Search Criteria As Smart Album isn’t available if a date range has been set but no other search criteria have been.
[U] When searching, you can exclude a keyword tag and then include an album, but you can’t do it in the other order.
User Interface
Major Problems
[?] On 1024x768 displays, and sometimes at higher resolutions, the Editor Print window is positioned to perfectly obscure the scroll bar of the drop-down list of printer profiles, leading people to think their printer’s profiles aren’t available.
I can’t reproduce this in PSE 8. The Editor’s Print dialog is all rearranged. But this bug struck some people and not others, so it may be still lurking.
[U] The menu bars don’t display if you have changed the screen DPI to be larger than 96 (as many people do on today’s ubiquitous high-res displays).
Adobe should be embarrassed about this, given that more and more computers are shipping preconfigured with higher DPIs. See http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#The_Organizers_Menu_Bar_ doesnt_show for a workaround.
Minor Problems
[F] Copying a paragraph from Microsoft Word and pasting it into the Notes field of a keyword tag causes some of the spaces between words to be deleted.
[F] In the full Editor, if at least one open photo is minimized to the Project Bin, Ctrl-Tab no longer cycles through the open windows.
[F] The Editor window can’t be resized the standard Windows way by grabbing any edge, just the lower-right corner.
Well, almost – you can grab the left, right, and bottom edges but not the top.
[F] Alt doesn’t underline the shortcut letters of top-level menu items in the Full Editor (but it does in the Organizer).
Both the Editor and Organizer don’t show the underline until you let up on the Alt key, whereas other Windows program show the underline when you first press the Alt key.
[F] The width of the Editor's Palette Bin can't be adjusted by dragging the left edge, as you can with all the other similar panes (Project Bin, Organizer Bin, Map View).
[U] In the Properties window of Full Screen mode, if you click in the Notes field and do Ctrl-A to select all the text, then click in the Caption field and do Ctrl-A to select its text, the notes remain highlighted.
[U] In the Organizer, Help > System Info reports the wrong amount for “Built-in Memory” on computers with more than 2GB of installed memory. (The command reports the correct amount in the Editor.)
[U] The setting of View > Show Borders Around Thumbnails isn’t remembered after you restart PSE.
[U] Ctrl-A to select all text doesn’t work in the text fields of the Properties window.
Interestingly, you can use ctrl-A in the text fields of the full-screen mode Properties window.
[U] Dialogs in the Editor sometimes bounce back when you try to move them.
[U] Dates are shown by Display > Import Batch as 2\20\2008 rather than 2/20/2008.
[U] In Create > Slide Show > Slide Show Preferences dialog, you can't use backspace or delete to clear the text in the Static and Transition Duration fields -- you need to select the text and then type over the selection (non-standard Windows behavior).
[U] Escape doesn’t close the full-screen-mode Properties dialog.
[U] You can’t use the Windows Explorer Tile command to tile the PSE Organizer and Editor windows.
The Editor can now be tiled by Windows Explorer and other window managers, but the Organizer still can’t.
Slide Shows
Major Problems
[F] The duration of a video clip included in a Slide Show is set to the default duration, not the length of the video clip, and right-click Edit Duration doesn’t change the clip’s duration.
PSE now sets the duration to the length of the clip. You can’t edit the duration, though – you can invoke Edit Duration, but PSE ignores the new value.
[U] An audio caption attached to a photo isn’t imported into a slide show even though the option Include Audio Captions as Narration is selected.
For an individual slide, you can give the Use Existing Audio Caption command to import that photo’s existing audio caption.
Editor
Minor Problems
[F] The Editor crashes if you invoke Quick Fix and use just one Touch Up tool (e.g. Whiten Teeth) and then save the file (but your changes are correctly saved).
[U] The File > Save For Web command doesn’t remember the last settings (e.g. file format and quality) after your restart the Editor.
For a workaround, see http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Allow_Save_For.John,
Firstly, my apologies for the length of this post – it has been fermenting a while. For those in a hurry I have split it into two sections – the first contains some general comments on the situation with PSE (v 7 in my case) and Adobe (as I see it) and the second contains a list of issues that I have encountered and some suggestions for improvement. As with you, my comments are largely directed at the Organiser module within PSE.
Part 1:
Before going any further I’d like to say what an excellent job you’ve done in cataloguing, understanding and in many cases providing solutions to a number of bugs. Adobe should be paying you a hefty sum for doing this work. It’s a welcome change from a large percentage of what you read in blogs and forums to see things dealt with systematically, objectively and in an informed way.
I’m less impressed with Adobe’s approach. In my opinion, if you choose not to provide program updates to your customers (i.e. you get what you bought in the box and that’s it) then you have a moral obligation to make sure that what you sell is as robust and free of bugs as possible.
I would be very surprised if they were not well aware of the comments you have made (if they aren’t then that would indicate an appalling failure of their ability to process feedback). The fact that they have not, in subsequent releases, dealt with all of the issues that have been highlighted is not good. I would go further and suggest that it is actually a breach of fair trading practice and disingenuous to sell the product as “fit for purpose” knowing these bugs are still in place.
It’s unreasonable to expect software to be absolutely faultless, and this is why the issuing of updates is a much “fairer” system. The problem, I think, with Adobe’s approach is that to entice new customers to each release they need to provide new features. A natural consequence of this is that there is a temptation to prioritise development of new features rather than providing solutions to existing issues. There is no incentive for Adobe to change this state of affairs for as long as customers are purchasing their products. In this respect one of the problems is that many of the reviewers to whom prospective customers go will rely on first impressions and will not uncover many of the issues. Adobe may be comfortable with this situation (and on relying on the reflected aura of Photoshop) but their product is not cheap and there is plenty of scope for competitors to provide a more robust, dependable product at cheaper price. With free applications like Picasa they will need to be very careful they don’t drop the ball.
Don’t get me wrong I think the concept of PSE organiser is excellent (I actually prefer it to my experience of Lightroom), it is the quality of execution that I have issues with.
My first experience of PSE was version 3 and this was positive enough for me to purchase PSE 7. However, my biggest disappointment with PSE 7, because to me it is fundamental, has been the quality of rendering images in full screen mode. Yours is the first comment I have seen that comments on the appearance of “jaggies” when displaying images in PSE. My understanding is that this relates to the anti-aliasing which is carried out when converting from image to display resolution and the level to which this smoothes out gradients in hue, saturation and luminance. I never observed this problem is PSE 3. Although the degree of anti-aliasing is a subjective preference, I was deeply disappointed and still find it hard to believe that free or bundled software (picture manager, windows picture viewer, etc) can manage this when PSE 7 can’t.
Anyway, I’m not sure how to illicit a change from Adobe. One way is to write the sort of rant I have above although I doubt this will make much difference. In any case keep up the good work and hopefully something will come of it.
Part 2:
Some issues I’ve encountered:
Migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 – change in directory structure means that the “documents and settings” part of the user directory path in XP (i.e. c:\documents and settings\<<username>>\etc.) is now a shortcut which redirects you to the new location for user files which is c:\users\<<username>> \etc. If you are migrating from an old XP machine to a new Windows 7 one, you’ve kept your username the same and you have tried to retain the same directory structure then PSE 7 will still find files in your catalogue with the old style path. However, it will not recognise duplicates if you accidentally re-import the same files now they are on your Windows 7 machine. My workaround for this is to use an external file manager (e.g. windows explorer) to change the name of the directory that contains all of your photos. This causes PSE 7 to fail to resolve the path locations. You can then can select the relevant files and reconnect using the reconnect facility (File-Reconnect-Missing Files);
Watched folders are lost for any drive other than C when PSE 7 is closed and then reopened;
Duplicate files are not recognised and can be imported if they are not on the C drive (i.e. on an external drive);
Selecting a category selects all of the keyword tags/subcategories beneath it but excluding it does not exclude all of the keyword tags/subcategories beneath it; however, both selecting and excluding a sub-category selects and excludes the tags/sub categories beneath it;
Searches bring back the entire version set or stack even if only one of the files within meets the search criteria;
The instant search facility will sometimes decide that a number typed in is a date and will not find some files you would expect it to e.g. those where the number typed in is part of the filename rather than a date;
Anti-aliasing is insufficient – jaggies appear on jpegs displayed at certain zoom level. Interestingly this does not seem to occur if a jpeg has been created from a raw file through PSE 7 rather than an external application (at least for the camera I have).
Some suggestions:
Find duplicates facility;
Sort by filename and other file data;
Hide directories in the folder directory pane of the folder view if they contain no imported files – in PSE3 this was the only option and was actually quite useful to confirm that there were no imported files in a certain location (e.g. if e:\...etc was not in the list then you knew that you had no imported files located on the e:\ drive). It would be good to have this a display option.
Allow filters to be applied only to selected files;
Allow files to be rotated in the organiser without actually resaving them as a rotated file. -
PSE 12 Automatically shutting down after "sign in"
Hi, I just bought PSE 12 and installed the disk, everything seemed fine with the install. When I open PSE 12 it says "Sign In Reqired" then I press sign in, and put in my Adobe ID, and it says "please wait for a moment" and then the entire program shuts down on it's own.
I tried to look up several advice questions on this community, so here is what I've tried so far:
1. Restarting computer.
2. Uninstalling/Reinstalling
3. Downloading the Free Trial
4. Updating Quicktime
5. Going into Owner > App Data > Roaming > PSE > 12.0 (and then deleating the contents)
6. Creating a new Adobe ID
I am running Windows 7.1, no prior Photoshop program was installed. Also, the trial version of PS premere elements 12 that came on the disk seems to work fine?
Any suggestions would be awesome
-LielanieThat means that for some reason PSE isn't liking your Adobe ID. It would probably be quickest to contact activation support:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
If you scroll down there's a place on that page to start a chat session and they can usually fix it right away.
In case you didn't know, in PSE 12 sign in = activate. -
Restore PSE 3 from a disc image to a re-formatted hard drive
I have Windows XP SP3 etc; Photoshop Elements 3.01; Acronis True Image 11; a 200GB hard drive (for images, audio, etc), a 250 GB hard drive for video storage and 500GB extl hard drive for backup of both hard drives. Some time ago I made a PSE backup onto the extl drive and a couple of incremental backups. I also have a disc image of both drives on the extl drive. With backup disc free space getting scarce I made a new full PSE backup and then deleted the original backups. To cure a number of conflict problems (due to multiple copies of Windows on both hard drives!) I re-formatted C drive and reinstalled the software, including PSE 3. I tried to restore my images and PSE catalog by means of PSE Restore from the PSE Backup; but after a while it asked me for discs/backups 2 and 3 - the ones I had deleted. All of the images are restored onto the C drive, but only a few tags - no Collection detail. Using Aconis I can mount the original disc image of the C drive, and the jpeg/CR2 and catalog psa files are in the usual place. However, file paths are somewhat different between the mounted copy of the C drive and the present actual C drive. Can anybody please advise me how to proceed from here? Is it just a case of using PSE 3 to move the catalog psa file from the Acronis mounted image into the C drive? The problem seems similar to the various threads that I've read on transferring to a new computer with PSE 7, but I am reluctant to "move" (as distinct from "copy") files from the Acronis image without some advice. Can anybody please offer some advice?
Hi dj_paige
Thanks a lot for the answer to my problem. Having resolved my problem with Acronis I then followed your instructions; the images and catalog with Collections etc are now fully restored. Thanks again for your help. -
My brushes in PSE 9 seems to live a life of their own. Eks: I click in my photo with the eraser/dogde/clone and so on.. and the "work" is done in a different place in the picture. Hope you understand my explanation. Does anyone know what to do about it? It has been like this for a while.
I have tried resetting the tools.
Was also adviced to: Go to Edit>Preset Manager . . . don't change anything . . . and just click Done. That did not work either..When you right click on the desktop you don't see personalize at the bottom of the menu?
Then this after clicking personalize:
