Optimize and Repair on the PSE 12 Organizer

I performed the optimize and repair function on the PSE 12 Organizer because it was running really slow. However, now when I try to open the organizer I get an error message that says Internal Programming Error Organizer cannot open. Can this be fixed?

If its within warranty and not caused by abuse no doubt it will be FOC.
However, we have just been through the festive period so I expect things wll take a liitle longer. Apple elves have been very busy packing and sending Xmas gifts.
Normal service will be resumed first week of Jan 2012.

What is the name and location of the PSE 11 organizer database?

Recently I asked about how the PSE 11 Organizer stores photos. The answer I received was that the organizer stores info of the photo in a database. What is the name of this database and where is it stored?

Hi,
If you are on a Windows system, load your organizer, go to the Help menu and select System Info - that should give you the path to you catalog folder.
In that catalog folder, there are various files. The main database file is catalog.pse11db
All the other files in that folder have their purpose. Be careful what you do with the files.
Hope that helps

Image Meta Data in the PSE 10 Organizer

Is is possible to get image meta data from an photo in the PSE 10 organizer or the full edit histogram? I thought is was but can't find where to check that option in the organizer. Otherwise, I have to write the image numbers down and put the card back in into my Canon and get the data.
Thanks,
Mike

Open the file in the Editor, then use File...File Info to open the metadata viewing window. At the bottom, click the down arrow next to the "Import" button to get the "Export" option.

Well first you locate your Caps Lock key. It is located above shift, and below tab. Now you press it, and take a deep breath. If your iPod is outside of its service, have you looked into other options like local repair shops? Sometimes they still service older products.

Has PSE 10 resolved the PSE 9 Organizer issues ?

I have purchased every edition of PSE for my MAC.
I got so frustrated with 9 that I sold it and went back to PSE 8 and Bridge.
Is there anyone doing a comparison of the new version that corrects the 9 problems especially for the MAC users ?
Please lets not have the argument that 9 was not a problem in the overall scheme of things.
My thread about it had over 9725 views and 146 replies.
The fact that 10 has been released in a shorter period of time should tell us something.
I really want to buy it but will wait this time for reviews and this forum's take on it.
Thanks,
Greg

If you didn't like the organizer in 9, you're not likely to like it in 10. Since I don't know which issues you mean, I can't comment specifically, but the mac PSE 10 organizer is very much like the PSE 9 one, except that now there's an option to Suggest Photo Stacks.

PSE7 Newbie - Sorting and Renaming using the PSE Downloader

Somewhere along the lines of installing PSE7 and playing with Elements, whenever I plug a camera memory card reader into my computer, one of the options that now appears is a PSE Downloader option (I have always used Windows Explorer for that operation up until now).
I like the options of creating new folders and file names on importing, but have a couple of problems.
#1 - I have both JPEGs and RAW images on the memory card. On my wife's laptop, I just want to import the JPEGs. Although you can select the pictures you want to import with little check marks, the Importer does not seem to allow me to sort the JPEGs all together. I obviously don't want to go through the list of photos, to select maybe 200 individual JPEGS. So is there any way to sort the displayed pictures so that I can easily select all of the JPEGs all at once.
#2 - I am saving the RAWs on my desktop. It seems to me that it is easier to keep track of the pictures if I just use the original DSC.... name, but I like the option of adding the Date Shot to the file name. However, there seems to be no option for Date + Original Name. Is there any way to do this, get the Original name plus the Date as the file name.
As kind of a side question, is the original picture name (the DSC. . . .) saved with the picture, no matter what (i.e. buried somewhere in the EXIF information) or is the name gone forever if I rename the picture. And if it is still there, is there a way to get at it, easily.
What I am getting at here is if my wife has one name of the JPEG on her computer and we want to locate the same RAW picture on my computer, is there an easy way to do that. I am worried about being able to link these pictures together -- is there an easy way to do this.

Optimize and repair permissions

After upgrading software via the internet the final message is that the HD is being optimized, is this the same procedure that Norton performed in OS 9?
I usually repair permissions just before backing up my HD with Carbon Copy Clones. I notice that when I start CCC it reads that it will repair permissions before backing up. Does this mean that I don't have to repair permissions before backing up that CCC will do it?
Also when I repair permissions do I also have to repair permissions on the backup drive, or just on the main drive?

Frank:
In terms of your question about CCC the option to Repair Disk Permissions, when selected, actually uses Disk Utility, to the best of my knowledge. You could do it again, if that makes you feel more secure, or uncheck the checkbox in CCC Preferences and do it yourself, or just let CCC take care of it, which is what I do.
Good luck.

PSE 10 Organizer Show ? On All Thumbnails

When I try to access any of my photos in the PSE 10 Organizer they all come up with a ?. If I try to edit a photo the software treats it as a missing file, so I try to reconnect the file only to be told that it already exits in the Organiizer. I have tried repairing my catalogue and I'm informed by the software that there are no errors. This problem has just started to happen recently on my Windows 7 64 bit system.
If anyone can help with a solution it would be greatly appreciated as I don't know what could be causing this to all of a sudden begin to happen. I suspect that the data base has in some way become corrupted.
Thanks

If it just started happening recently, what changes did you make to your system? New hard drive?

Moving PSE 10 organizer to PSE 11 organizer

I have been using PSE since PSE 7-I purchased 7, 10, and 11. I am seriously looking for a better organizer solution.
My two catalogs worked fantastically well in the PSE 10 organizer - one click and just what I was looking for popped up. Not now! I am SOOOO done!
I repaired and optimized in PSE 10 - multiple times and still both catalogs (one with photos and one with digital scrapbooking supplies) refuse to convert properly. The photo catalog did not convert many of my pictures and many are no longer tagged, along with missing tags. The scrapbook catalog converted the Alaphabet folder and that's it and again, missing tags.
Searching the boards has been useless!
Any sane help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
There's no such bug. I mean navigation between files is the most operation one would do, how can that be buggy
You can double click an image to view it in Single Image View and use keyboard arrow keys to navigate left/right/up/down. Also double clicking an image which is fully zoomed out takes you back to previous zoom-in state where all thumbnails were visible.
You may also try other views to arrange you media in grid - Thumbnails, Import Batch, Date View, Folder Location. These are available in 'Display' dropdown present on the top right corner of the application.
Thanks

Windows 7 will not recognize PSE 8 Organizer on External Drive

Hello:
Background:
We purchased a Dell Inspiron 560 with Windows 7 from BestBuy to replace the Hewlett Packard Pavilion with Windows XP that was showing problems. My present photo software includes Photo Shop Elements 8 and Nikon NX2. (I intend to use PSE 8 for Nikon NEF (RAW) files and NX2 for JPEG files.) Geek Squad (GS) transfered the information that was on the HP hard drive to the Dell. All the icons now show on the Dell except for iTunes. I also gave GS the Photoshop and Nikon disks in case they needed to reload the programs.
The photos are stored on a Western Digital (WD) external drive that was also given to GS to test the transfer. I organized my files according to the "master programs", e.g., Adobe Photoshop 8 and Nikon NX2 with subfolders for the photos themselves. Everything worked fine on the former HP computer.
The situation:
The PSE 8 Edit and NX2 appears to work but not the PSE 8 Organizer. All folders and subfolders and information in the subfolders are present on the WD drive. The Nikon software opens and edits all photos including the photos stored in the Adobe Photoshop 8 folder in the WD drive. I can open a single photo in PSE 8 Edit. But I cannot activate PSE 8 Organizer where the folders and subfolders are. When I attempt to activate the Organizer following the prompts, the following statement appears, "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated." However, I can access them using the NX2 software.
So what do I have to do to activate or reactivate the Organizer? I could transfer the files from the Adobe folder to the Nikon folder using drag and drop, reinstall PSE 8, and then reintstall the files on the Adobe folder.
Or is there a better way?
Please help.

Without knowing exactly what Geek Squad actually did, its hard to say how to fix this.
Ideally, that way to fix this is to do the following: you would create a backup of your catalog on the old computer. Do this with the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog. Tell PSE to save the backup to the external drive. Then connect the external drive to the new computer, and run the Organizer command File->Restore Catalog.

Removed features in PSE 13 Organizer

Hi,
yesterday I upgraded PSE 12 to PSE 13.
Until now I used smart tagging and the extended search in the organizer to automatically separate pictures with persons from pictures containing nature or buildings only.
So I wonder why Adobe has removed these features in PSE 13?
But you can still use "AutoAnalyzer", but I do not see what it is good for. It seems that it doesn´t do anything?
So is there a way to use the PSE 13 organizer as i did with PSE 12? Or do I have to use the "old" organizer therefore?
Nachricht geändert durch Ulrich Kolanowski

Thanks for your reply. So I am one of "the few".
But I can´t understand why Adobe didn´t give the customers the possibility to just switch on or off this features.
After converting to PSE 13 all smart tags I had in PSE 12 are gone!
And I am still wondering about the "AutoAnalyzer" feature in PSE13. What can it be used for?

Output from PSE 11 Organizer to CD

I have a 29 minute slideshow (photos, music and transitions) made using PSE 11 Organizer on a Win 7 platform. I can play the slideshow on my computer, The program stops when trying to output to a CD. Has anyone found a resolution to a similar problem?

PSE will normally let you make a backup or data disk on CD.
What is the purpose of this CD?
If you also have Premiere Elements, its possible to burn a DVD which can then be viewed on TV sets.

PSE 11 Organizer automatic update

Has anyone out there had a problem with the PSE 11 Organizer starting an automatic update when you open the program? This happens even when I have just minimized the screen and left the Organizer open. Yesterday it remained in the update status for more than six hours during which time PSE 11 was frozen and I couldn't do anything in it. I finally had to terminate the program with the task manager, shut down my computer and start all over again. I'm beginning to get annoyed and would really appreciate hearing from someone with Photoshop.

You will find that most people here are likely to have Photoshop Elements of some ve3rsion; this aside, if you are on a windows system, then you should be running as "Standard User" not as Administrator or a user with administrator privileges. this way Adobe updater cannot update your system without prompting you to login as Administrator.
Also, if I can remember correctly, Adobe Updater has a small checkbox that you need to tick to make sure Adobe notifies you of update before downloading anything automatically. I can't produce this now because I don't have any update outstanding but if I find a way to replicate this I'll post back.
For now make sure you work as Standard User in a windows system so that you are protected not only from Adobe updates but also from Microsoft updates and from hackers and scammers who all like to install their small piece of software without your knowledge.

PSE 8 Organizer take 60+ seconds per task

Most everything I do in the PSE 8 Organizer seems to take 60+ seconds to complete.
When I move a tag from one sub-category to another, 60+ seconds.
When I delete a picture from the catalog, 60+ seconds.
When I add a new face tag in a photo, 60+ seconds.
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 940 photos or 140 photos in the catalog.
What is PSE looking for with each task it does?
The only error indication I get is a 'dunk' sound when the Organizer starts up,
(like the sound you get when you click on something you shouldn't click on),
but no error dialog or warning shows up.
Any ideas?

John, I have a total of seven people tags and thanks for the advice. It's not a keyword tag issue.
But, hallelujah, I have found the problem! It's the 'Folder Location View'. Stay out of it! It turns a face tagging from a half second task to a 65 second task. It appears that, when in the Folder Location View, after you complete a task like face tagging PSE will then go off and re-read (for 65 seconds) all your Windows folders and regenerate the folder view. When you switch to the Thumbnail View and do the face tag then PSE comes right back immediately. I was able to recreate this scenario several times. Each task I did in Folder Location View took 65 seconds or more. The same task in Thumbnail View takes half a second tops.

PSE 9 Organizer Unable to Import from iPhoto '11

When I try to import pictures from iPhoto '11 using the PSE 9 Organizer, I get the following message:
There is no media to import from iPhoto
I wonder if Adobe has not yet caught up with iPhoto '11 that came with recently introduced iLife '11. The iPhoto '09 catalog was converted in some way when I ran iPhoto '11 for the first time.
Anyone else having this problem or come up with a solution?

If you go to export in IPhoto 11, IPhoto 11 is not listed in applications while IPhoto 9 is listed but there is no way to export photos using this or items associated with it.
Don't understand this, or did you mean in the options for External Editor rather than Export? If so, there should be Other at the bottom of the window. Navigate to the actual PSE 9 editor application, which is the first of the two files in the PSE 9 folder that has a blue square for an icon. You want the square without the version number in the file name, and without the little curved black alias arrow on it.
If you mean you want to put the photos into the Organizer, you select the photos you want to export, go to File> Export, then put the exported photos where you want and use File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders in the Organizer.
