No thumbnails in organizer (was B Saggo)

In my new Elements 12 I can not see thumbnails in the ALL MEDIA screen. Only rectangles with an hour glass. If I double click one of these I get a full size picture. What is wrong?

Hi,
Please try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
Edit >> Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted. Check yoru catalog location using Help > System Info and navigate to that path in explorer/finder
Inside the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
Thanks

Thumbnails in Organizer are already corrected?

The thumbnails in the organizer seem to be corrected for color, brightness, etc. For example...three bracketed exposures of the same scene appear as identical thumbnails in the Organizer. I would like to see exactly what I shot. I cannot find a preference for this. Is there one?
If I open them in Camera Raw and select "Default" and then close Camera Raw, the Organizer now displays the file as it was shot.

Select the thumbnails in Organizer.
Click Edit >> Update Thumbnail for Selected Items.

You need to keep the keys pressed for several seconds. Close down Elements. Hold down the CtrlShiftAlt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys until you get the settings option. You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?Click on YesThen wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences. You should see something like this (example PSE9) http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4880527-258346/320-111/Setting s-pop-upPSE9.png

Missing thumbnails in organizer (v5)

Why do only some thumbnails display in the organizer? I need thumbnails shown of ALL image files in each folder.
For ex, I copied a bunch of images into a project folder for editing. Only 3 files out of maybe 80 show up as thumbnails in organizer. The original versions in other folders do have thumbnails. I have the folder set to automatically update.

Tabasco
Just a late thought-are there possible duplicate files? You said you copied some to a project folder. Elements does not like duplicates (even if in different folders).
Organzier uses tags and collections for subdividing/grouping photos, instead of folders. So if Folder 1 has 50 pictures and you need 10 for a special project, you can tag these with Project 1 and filter on only those. Or you could make a Project 1 collection, do your editing and stuff and then export these to a slide show or disk.
Could this be a reason you do not see the thumbnails?

Drag and Drop (re-order) Thumbnails in Organizer

I am using Photoshop Elements version 5.0.2
I would like to re-order pictures in an order that will make sense for me in my business. I suppose I can go through each pix and change the time on them, so I can then sort by time stamp.
Is there an easier way to do this? I was hopeful that I could drag and drop them in Thumbnail view - but I cannot.
Thank you,
Jamie

>Is there anyway to delete the photos in the main well, without losing them from my collection?
As I understand the design, the main well is intended to be all the photos that you are managing with Photoshop Elements.
Collections are used to display a specific group of those photos in your chosen sequence for any given activity.
I suspect that since you are using a consumer product such as Photoshop Elements for your business purpose, you may need to make some compromises like having a default (the main photo well) display sequence which you see first when starting PSE that is not what you would choose.
This is not bad if PSE does what you want - just additional steps to switch to the Collection view and also to maintain (drag and drop) the sequencing of the collection when you add additional photo files to a Collection.

Displaying Thumbnails in Organizer

Majority of my Videos I have downloaded from my Sony DCR-DVD410E HandyCam using Sony's PMB program and they are stored in MPG format.
When importing these Videos into Organizer the thumbnail displays as a piece of old film and also it cannot be played in Organizer.
I have a fairly new system with Windows 7. If I convert them to .WMV then they display and play OK but I obviously do not want to reduce the size and quality. I guess this is probably a Codec issue and would like assistance on which way to proceed.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Glen

Hi Steve - thanks again for responses. Since posting I have found a number of Forums discussing this particular topic and have subsequently sent off a request for change to Adobe.
Fortunately I have a second monitor installed so I can scan through my files/thumbnails using Windows media Player or the original Sony PMB software whilst editting in PRE8 but somehow it seems to defeat the object of having bought PRE8 in the first place.
Since purchasing PRE8 I have been reading all of the posts on this Forum with interest and would like to say a big thank you to you all who appear to spend a great deal of time in answering our queries.
Regards.

Rearranging photo thumbnails in Organizer window

Is there a way to rearrange photo thumbnails manually in the Organizer? Most software enables a drag-and-drop function but apparently not here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Philip
In the full Organizer, the Views available (lower left corner) are Newest, Oldest, Folder and Import Batch. Within the full Organizer, I don't believe you can do as you wish.
If you make a collection, you can re-arrange the images within the collection by dragging and dropping. This is often used to re-arrange pictures for a specific project, making a slide show or web page say.
I guess in theory you could create a collection that included all your pictures and then drag and drop within that. Never tried this so you may run into some kind of file limit.

Cannot see thumbnails in Organize view in iPhoto 4

When I download new photos or look at one of my saved rolls, the pictures are all there but I cannot see them in the thumbnail view, only one at a time, so I cannot organize them into albums. This has happened since last October--prior to that, the thumbnails were there. Did I mess something up in another folder somewhere?
Thank you
Crablady

Hi, crablady, and welcome to Apple Discussions. It's very unlikely that you've caused your problem by meddling with any "other" folder. But if, back in October, you meddled with the contents of the iPhoto Library folder inside your Pictures folder when the iPhoto application wasn't open, that explains your problem.
Hold down the Shift and Option keys while starting iPhoto, and keep holding them down until you're asked whether you want to rebuild the library. Click "Yes", then click "Save".
This will create a new, rebuilt iPhoto Library_1 folder inside your Pictures folder. If it opens up properly in iPhoto, displaying things as you expect it to, you can trash the Original iPhoto Library folder and empty the trash to recover storage space. If the new library isn't right either, trash it instead of the original iPhoto Library folder, and post back here for further advice.
When iPhoto isn't running, it expects you to leave the contents of your iPhoto Library folder strictly alone. Everything in that folder is arranged precisely the way iPhoto needs it to be arranged, and any disturbance in there will throw things out of whack.

No thumbnails in organizer Photoshop Elements 6

My computer with Windows XP crashed and I just got it back. Before the crash, I installed element 4 and then upgraded to elements 6. The computer specialist re- installed Photoshop elements 6 upgrade but not photoshop elements 4. Now,when I open up the organizer, I don't have any thumbnails. Prior to this, when I opened the organizer, the thumbnails would come up. My photos are stored on an external drive, but I want to have the thumbnails showing in the organizer. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

If you made backups of your catalog in PSE4, then in PSE6 you need to restore the catalog. Use the File->Restore Catalog command.
If not, then you would have to import everything into PSE6, basically starting over.

No thumbnails in organizer 12 for any video file larger than 3,1 mb

I am running premiere Elements 12
Quicktime 7.7.5
Windows 7 service pack 1
Organizer will not show (or update) thumbnails from video files (.mts and .m4p) when file sizes are over 3.1 mb.
Organizer will play all the files. Element shows thumbnails and plays all the files.
Importing the files in the organizer or directly in Elements does not make a difference on the 'not showing' of the thumbnails.
MTS files are container for 1080i Pal (Sony AVCHD)
m4p files are are container for NTSC
Thumbnails for both files are not shown
Thumnails of files with very small file size for both formats are shown when the file size is less than 3,1 mb.
I found out about the file sizes when I check the metadata of the clips.
Anybody any Idea om what I should adjust to see all the thumbnails?
Thanks GN

Just a longer add on to my post numbered 1.
What is the hard drive save location for your AVCHD.mp4 and AVCHD.mts files? If external hard drive, how is it formatted...NTFS or FAT32?
Also, what is the model of the Panasonic that is giving you the AVCHD.mts (assumed 1920 x 1080i25)? And what is the brand/model/settings for the camera that is giving you the AVCHD.mp4 (1080i30 or 1080p30 or other)?
It is the factor of file size that you describe for your issue that has me wondering if more than video codec is involved in your particular case.
Also, please clarify...three megabytes or thirty one megabytes? That looks like a comma in your "3,1 mb".

PE8 - Thumbnails in Organizer disappeared.

I was using the PE8 Organizer when the screen went blank. Whenever I clicked on any of my folders to view the contents, I received a screen message that no photos matched the search criteria.
Is this one of those "catalog problems" people are writing about? Did I do something wrong? I will appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

is this issue reproducible even after relaunching the application ?

Missing thumbnails in Organizer

I'm trying PS Elements 9. I've imported my pictures into the Organizer but some of the pictures don't have thumbnails. Instead they have a placeholder graphic with a flower on it and a blue triangle with an exclamation mark. I don't see any explanation of what this might mean. These pictures did not generate errors when they were imported. The pictures were scanned photos, just like the ones that imported correctly.
I've tried deleting the pictures from the catalog and reimporting. I've tried updating the thumbnail. The picture can be opened and edited in Elements but even if the edited photo is saved as a copy, it does not display a thumbnail.
Can someone explain this? And maybe tell me how to fix it?
Thanks.

Sometimes running the repair command can sort this out.
In Organizer click File >Catalog
Click on your current catalog to highlight it and then click the repair button. Often you get a message saying nothing found to repair but click repair anyway.

Missing Thumbnails in Organizer Importing Function

I recently upgraded my my operating system from Windows XP to Vista. When I used the import function in Elements Organizer (with XP) I could preview the thumbnails and select the desired images on the camera or compact flash card. Now that I have moved to Vista the thumbnail preview or selection is no longer visible or accessable.
I have been through the software options, search engines and this forum but have seen nothing about this problem. I do sometimes have a perchance to miss the obvious and apologize if this is the case. Any help is appreciated.
OS Windows Vista 64 bit
Photoshop elements 9
8Gb RAM

Possibly due to display or dpi settings in the Windows control panel being below 96 dpi or 100% especially if you have a short screen e.g. laptop or notebook.
A work around is to import everything from the card into a folder on the hard drive. Then use File à Get Photos
It’s then possible to select and deselect from the Organizer import dialog.

I get no thumbnails in Organizer (just a grey icon)

I use Elements 8.0.
After successfully opened over 900 pictures in Organizer (imported them from my harddrive), suddenly no thumbnails showed up when importing new pictures. Just a grey icon suggesting I should wait (but nothing happens). I deleted pictures from Organizer that I used to see as a thumbnail and tried to import them again but now they don't show up as thumbnails either.
If I click on FIX and EDIT PHOTO the picture show up and I can work with it, but I can't see it in Organizer. I have plenty of space on my hard drive so that is not the problem.
HELP!

Are these large images, perhaps multi-layered?
The Organizer in Photoshop Elements limits the maximum dimensions of an image based on the amount of RAM installed in your computer. The limit is in place to prevent Photoshop Elements from attempting to use too much memory, which can cause the program to slow down or appear to freeze while it is working with very large images.
If an image exceeds the limit, then you can import the image into a catalog in the Organizer, but the Organizer will not display a thumbnail for the image or show the image in a slideshow or other creation.
This tech note refers to earlier versions off PSE but I’m sure its also relevant to PSE8.

PE8 does not show MTS still frame as thumbnail in Organizer

I am importing some MTS footage into organizer but PE8 does not show the still frame as the thumbnail. All clips have a generic film tape Icon instead. Why? The clips are properly available though.

Had the same problem. A pain.
I renamed the clip in the organizer window to something comprehendible (Birthday_cake.MTS!)
You could export it to some other format (MPEG2) that shows the thumbnail and then import it if you want a longer approach.
