Organizer 9 versus mediashow

I have organizer 8. I was thinking of upgrading to PE 9 with organizer 9. I also looked at media show by cyberpower. In mediashow, when i am scanning thru pics, i can get the pics together so that there is a tiny space between photos. in PE, there is a large gap between the photos (even when details is off).
So when the pictures are the same size, the verticle space in both programs are the same, so both programs have the same number of photos going across (5 columns). but were as mediashow can get 5 rows of photos, orgnaizer only has 4 rows of the same size photos because of the gap.
It is not a huge deal, but it is a slight anoyance.
by example media show looks like this (# is a photo)
Organizer looks like this

Yes i have. Thanks for the screen shot. If you make the same screen shot in mediashow, you will have 6 rows instead of 5 with the same sized pics. the difference will be the amount of space in between the photos. Here is a screenshot from the media center website. check out how little space between rows compared to PE. Again , this is not "make or break it", but it would be nice if PE organizer had the same features as other programs on the market.

Elements organizer versus Picassa 3

I used both elements organizer, and picassa 3 (for face recognition). Incidentally, i found picassa is so much faster when showing the full page image. In elements it takes about a 1-2 second delay to go from thumnail pixalated image to full image, in picassa this is almost instant, and once you see it, it stays clear. in PE, each time you leave the image, it needs to be reloaded

I just moved my pc to Windows 7 64 bit from VISTA 64 (fresh install, not upgrade) and have been through a challenging reinstall of APE 8 due to a change in a hard drive mapping. I tried to correct by renaming the drive with the same location it had before, but APE was smart enough to recognize the move and kept moving the default search location to the wrong place. All I really needed was an option to rename the drive look at, but it does not exist in APE. Have even tried using SQLite to edit the database (copy) to no avail (I'm not a data jock).
Have also experienced multiple crashes of APE8 that seem to occur whenever you try to make changes to a large number of files (for instance, updating thumbnails for mov files) in batch mode. This is with a pristine install, with all updates made to hardware, software, etc.
As a result of this process, I am revisiting picasa. If I am going to have to work through a lot of technical issues, thinking I would rather do it with something that is free and has more transparency into how it works.
Will add that I have been a huge Adobe supporter for a long time (15 years) for photo and video, including the "pro" versions when I can afford them, but as the pricing has jumped a lot over the past couple of years for upgrades without any real change in the number of headaches with each release and a failure to really address bugs (consistent issue across products), I suspect Picasa will be one of many forays into new products from other vendors.

Organization versus iphoto

I'm told that when I make a change to a picture in Iphoto, then that is the view I have. The master, I guess, is stuck back somewhere. All I see is the current 1 picture when I make changes or multiple changes.
Then when I read about Aperture, I see it says that I can save the same picture in multiple views after multiple changes.
Does that mean I really have this much flexibility in Aperatur over Iphoto where I can now see my master, have a folder with my first change and then a second foler with my 3rd change so I can always see and compare multiple shots?

In iPhoto you can see the original simply by holding the Shift key.
Aperture can create multiple versions of a shot withou duplicating the file, as iPhoto would need to do.
So, yes, Aperture is a lot more flexible than iPhoto - which accounts for some fo the price difference
Of course, either can export the Original or the Version.
Any closer to making your decision?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Won't launch

My motherboard died. I put a new motherboard in and have been reinstalling the OS (Windows 7 Professional) and reinstalling all of the programs. I successfully re-downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and entered my license key and it installs. When I launched it, it came up to the welcome screen, but when I try to open the Organizer or the Editor, it won't launch! I switched to startup in the Organizer versus the Welcome Screen and now it won't launch at all!
I uninstalled the program and tried reinstalling. It installed, but the program will not launch!

Hi,
Try starting the two applications directly by creating shortcuts to the following files.
Organizer: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
If you need help with creating the shortcuts then come back and I will explain how to do it.

Feedback Wanted on Windows 7 versus Elements 9 Organizer

I am a Windows 7 user. Does anybody have feedback on the merits of using Windows 7 versus Elements 9 Organizer for managing a sane filing system so there aren't duplicates OR deleted photos? So far, I would agree with the previous thread that mentioned the ease of use with CS5's Bridge system compared to Organizer. Do you use the People/Place/Events templates set up in Organizer or forget about it?

Firstly, the major difference between Bridge and Organizer is that Bridge is a file browser, like Windows Explorer. Organizer is a file cataloguer, meaning that it stores its own information (tags, albums, etc.) in its own database.
I occassionaly use Bridge as sort of an "enhanced" Windows Explorer when I want to see thumbnails of PSD files and other file formats that don't display as thumbnails in Explorer. Bridge pretty much follows the folder structure that you've established in Windows, so if you're happy with your file system organization you'll be happy with Bridge.
For my money, Organizer is much more powerful because the organization and display of its database information is independent of the file system structure. For example, photos stored in wildly separated file folders can be viewed next to each other in Organizer if those photos have a tag in common. Tagging all your photos in Organizer and optionally also putting them in "albums" is a lot of work up front, but once done, really releases the power of Organizer.
That's somewhat of a subtle point, and often overlooked by users of all different sorts of database programs, such as recipe managers. The bottom line is that if you're using a database program, it's completely irrelevant where your data (photos or recipes) are stored or how their filing system storage is structured. The critical thing is to tag 'em correctly in a way that makes sense to you. Tags are very cheap in terms of storage space, so the more tags the better -- then you can slice and dice your data in so many versatile ways.
Another impressive feature of the Organizer database comes into play if you've catalogued photos on removable media, such as CDROMS or external hard drives. You can still work with the small images in Organizer even when your external media isn't attached.

Lightroom versus PhotoShop Elements Organizer and Bridge

This is directed to the Adobe Developer Team
I hope someone of the Developer team is reading this!!
For my understanding the three products out of one house (PhotoShop Elements Organizer, Bridge and Lightroom) doing about the same, should ...
work the same (same idea, same behaviour, organizing by path/subfolders instead of cataloges etc.)
maintain the same database and files (LR should recognize the collections from BR and Vice Versa, use the same cache files etc.) and should
be compatible to each other (e.g. Tags, Collections etc)
Actually I suggest ADOBE
to eliminate Organizer and integrate the good functions into BRIDGE (e.g. albums, upload to flickr, webpage generation etc)
give BRIDGE as the free of charge picture organizer to PS Elements and to PS CS
change LIGHTROOM into an payable upgrade of BRIDGE with enhanced functionality of the free of charge BRIDGE, (which can work as a stand-alone software as it does today
better integration of PSE, PS CS into Bridge/Lightroom (e.g. Panaorama function opens only PS CS but the version of PSE works much better, so I want to choose in the menu of Bridge/Lightroom)
I am really struggling with the three of them.
Beside that I suggest to get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom with it's import/export and synchronization needs and instead use or at least integrate the idea of BRIDGE to get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders, as this is anyhow how the way pictures are stored already for most of us... I asume. I doubt that anybody just throw all files into one big subdirectory and get the organized into cataloges. But please keep collections as they are helpful to quickly collect some pictures to commonly work on them. by drag & drop. The Catalogues of LR drives me crazy but LR have a lot of nice functions (e.g. Webupload interfaces to flickr and others, nice noice reduction, nice albums and webpage functions, etc.)
Thanks
Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year
Georg
PS: Please all of you comment your experience and opinion on this matter ... I am interested what you think about it.

Hi George,
Whereas Bridge and Photoshop Elements (and most non-LR users) base their organisation on the file / folder structure, Lightroom uses files / folders simply for storage - the catalog is used for organisation. This 'catalog based approach' provides far more flexibility, both in organisation, and in recording a complete, fully-reversible record of all edits made to each photograph.
To suggest that Adobe "get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom" and "get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders" would remove almost ALL advantages Lightroom has over Bridge & PS Elements combined. To fully appreciate Lightroom, you need to appreciate that files and folders are not the only way to organise photos. Why not watch a few of the Adobe Lightroom Tutorial videos? This link below takes you to a video explaining about the Catalog;
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
However, if you really want Adobe to hear your views, why not raise a Feature request with them, at this link below;
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I'm sure if you call your feature request 'Remove Catalog from Lightroom, and organise by Folders instead', it'll get noticed, as will any forum posts of the same name...
Cheers,
Alan

Collections versus Photo Organizer

Ok, here is the question. You just import 300 pictures into organizer. Now you create a collection and tag all 300 new photos in the organizer with the collection name. Now when you click on back to all photos your screen is bombarded with any and all photos and the 300 new collection photos. How can you "STACK" the photos while in Collections so when you go back to Organizer there is only one photo visible?

Well, I really hesitate on this one. I think I can tell you how to do what you are asking - but I am concerned that it will have negative implications for your future use of the Organizer. You will not be using the Organizer software the way it was designed to be used and for any software that can cause difficulties.
The Organizer is designed to have all photos display initially and then you use a Tag search (or Find command or date line) to choose which photos you will view or work on this time.
Personally, I keep my photo browser sequence set to newest first because it is most often recent photos that I will want. When I want something else, I may do a Tag search based on an event tag or I may set a limiting date range to determine which photos I view now. Or I may specify multuple tags on my search or exclude a tag in order to be more specific in what I view.
Also, since you seem to have some existing photos organized by folders, you can use the Instant Tag function to give each file in that folder the same tag. Then you could easily look at only the photo files in a given folder or specific multiple folders.

Organizational element versus organizational unit

Can someone briefly define the difference between an organizational element (OE) and an organizational unit (OU)? I know that Company code, controlling area, plant etc are know as OU. I have also read that "The organizational units in SAP are the elements or structures representing business functions...".
Please define Organizational Element as opposed to Unit. Glossary and other areas of the site are not specific. Thanks, Tom

Hi,
I suggest stop confusing betweek Elements and Units. You can use this interchangeably, dont worry about..

LIghtroom versus Organizer \ PSE versus CS5

I need a little help. I built a website for family and friends to view some of our family photos and videos. I used SlideShowPro Director to manage the photo albums on the site (best $59 I think I've spent so far). They have a plug-in for Lightroom to automatically manage the albums and upload content. Right now I am manually uploading to the site which is not a big deal but if I add to an album or edit photos it would nice to have it flow right up.
I currently have PSE10 and PRE10 along with Organizer. I also have a new Camera coming which is 18mp but that is not really an issue for me here and at this point. I am now being told by sales (I should have done better research up front but not a big loss and my son can use the Elements package if I go this route) is that PSE10 only supports 8mp photos so if I bring anything larger into it they will be scaled down. Also, that Lightroom works seamlessly with CS5 but not with Organizer.
I am also being told that the Organizer Catalog and Albums cannot be ported over to LR. I have 12,000 files in it now and many I have faces assigned, many in more then one album, and keyword tags. So if I went with LR to manage the website albums I will have to build the LR catalog from scratch. Although it appears I can just drag & drop my folders into it.
So can someone help put some truth to this or dispel any misinformation? I would like to go with LR now and use it with my PSE and PRE10 that I currently have and move up to CS5 when needed. I don't mind the initial pain of building my LR catalog if I can have LR work with PSE and PRE. And does PSE10 scale down photos greater then 8mp?
Thanks much,
Joe..

If it is of any value to anyone here you go. I downloaded the trial and ran a bunch of tests and this is where I am at:
Lightroom is absolutely compatible with the PS Elements App. You can right click on an image and select EDIT WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS. Done.
You can IMPORT you Elements Organizer Catalog to Get Started. (Update: One caveat - it currently only supports through PSE9 Catalogs. Hopefully an update soon)
It is way more powerful then Elements Organizer but for most of my needs Organizer would have been fine. But LR has blown me away.
I downloaded and installed the Plug-In for SlideShowPro Director. It took about 10 minutes to install, configure, and actually upload an album from LR to my Website and automatically appeared in the Gallery in SSP. You can also make many configuration changes to SSP and either display individual Albums on one or more pages or you can drop the A Gallery with any number of Albums in it onto a page.
You can add Music to it and it has an automatic (but basic) pan and scan feature.
SSP writes either the HTML or PHP code for you and you just drop it onto a webpage and attach a hyperlink to it and done.
When I thought of wanting to do this the other day and even when I woke up this morning I had no idea how I was going to do it. Now the pieces are all in place and functioning. Not for nothing but it is also 1000 times faster, especially in the upload, to photoshop.com (sorry, but the PSC upload process is painful).
The hardest part was linking SSP to my webhost (Network Solutions) database. But their tools and wizard were easy enough to get through it without support.

Windows 7 Install - BIOS versus UEFI - what to do next

Scenario, laptop came with Win8 pre-loaded on HDD but no other media disks; guy wants Win7. Attempted to start the laptop with 7 disk in the DVD-ROM drive, but it would only go to HDD, and didn't offer the usual choices of F-8 or F-3 etc. during boot black
screen. So I simply changed the hard drive out to a new blank one. Found articles about UEFI versus BIOS. Got into Set-Up screen with F2, disabled Secure, and later changed boot order to DVD then C. Got Win7 installed and looking normal. Then started
manually loading the Drivers via DVD recorded on different PC, that can be downloaded from the Toshiba site. Some drivers seem to be not recognized, but most of all the biggest problem seems to be = = Windows is not discovering devices and does not Find
New Hardware, so many items such as the CAT5 internet jack and the USB jacks are not working. Maybe also call this problem UPnP is not working.
Do I now need to switch back to UEFI now that it is up and running? Or would that fail due to the MBR or other boot sector differences I have been reading about in TechNet. The Win7 install recognized the size of the HDD as around 640GB and partitioned
100MB for it's own uses.
It has done many many megabytes of Windows Updates via wireless, so it should have all the patches & security updates available, but still cannot discover a USB flash drive or mouse.
Thank you,
Al

Adobe Photoshop Express Organizer - help manual needed

Please excuse me if I'm posting this request to the wrong forum, but I'm looking for a tutorial on how to use the online Adobe Photoshop Express Organizer, which I access through photoshop.com. I can't locate a tutorial or instructions on it anywhere! Although I've mostly figured out how to use it, I'd like to know the difference between an "Album" and a "Group Album." Also, what's a Shared Album versus a Private one? An answer to these particular questions would be very much appreciated.

Pros/Cons of replicating to files versus staging tables

I am new to GoldenGate and am trying to figure out pros/cons of replicating to flatfiles to be processed by an ETL tool versus replicating directly to staging tables. We are using GoldenGate to source data from multiple transaction systems to flatfiles and then using Informatica to load thousands of flatfiles to our ODS staging. Trying to figure out if it would be better just to push data directly to staging tables. I am not sure which is better in terms of recovery, reconcilliation, etc. Any advice or thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Hi,
My Suggestion would be to push the data from multiple source systems directly to staging table and then populate target system using ELT tool like ODI.
Oracle Data Integrator can be combined with Oracle Golden Gate (OGG) , that provides a cross-platform data replication and changed data capture. Oracle Golden Gate worked in a similar way to Oracle’s asynchronous change data capture but handles greater volumes and works across multiple database platforms.
Source -> Staging -> Target
ODI-EE supports all leading data warehousing platforms, including Oracle Database, Teradata, Netezza, and IBM DB2. This is complemented by the Oracle GoldenGate architecture, which decouples source and target systems, enabling heterogeneity of databases as well as operating systems and hardware platforms. Oracle GoldenGate supports a wide range of database versions for Oracle Database, SQL Server, DB2 z/Series and LUW, Sybase ASE, Enscribe, SQL/MP and SQL/MX, Teradata running on Linux, Solaris, UNIX, Windows, and HP NonStop platforms as well as many data warehousing appliances including Oracle Exadata, Teradata, Netezza, and Greenplum. Companies can quickly and easily involve new or different database sources and target systems to their configurations by simply adding new Capture and Delivery processes.
ODI-EE and Oracle GoldenGate combined enable you to rapidly move transactional data between enterprise systems:
Real-time data. - Immediately capture, transform, and deliver transactional data to other systems with subsecond latency. Improve organizational decision-making through enterprise-wide visibility into accurate, up-to-date information.
Heterogeneous. - Utilize heterogeneous databases, packaged or even custom applications to leverage existing IT infrastructure. Use Knowledge Modules to speed the time of implementation.
Reliability. - Deliver all committed records to the target, even in the event of network outages. Move data without requiring system interruption or batch windows. Ensure data consistency and referential integrity across multiple masters, back-up systems, and reporting databases.
High performance with low impact. - Move thousands of transactions per second with negligible impact on source and target systems. Transform data at high performance and efficiency using E-LT. Access critical information in real time without bogging down production systems.
Please refer to below links for more information on configuration of ODI-OGG.

Unable to add a new Place in Version 13 of Premier Elements Organizer

Hi,
I am using the trial version of Premier Elements Organizer, which I am planning on purchasing if I can get this issue resolved. When I click on the "Add Places" button at the bottom of the screen AND when I click on the green plus button and "Add New Place" on the Places panel the program locks up and I receive the "Program Not Responding" message from Windows 8.1. I've clicked the "Wait for the program to respond" and have waited over 5 minutes and nothing happens.
This doesn't happen in the Photoshop Elements Organizer; however, all I need is the Organizer and Video Editing so I have switched to Premier Elements.
Thank you,
Andrea

Andrea417
Glad all seems to have worked out for you.
I was about to go into...
Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products that come with the Elements Organizer 13.
When they are on the same computer, they share the same Elements Organizer 13 catalog.
So your suggestion that you got different Elements Organizer 13 results depending on whether you started on the Photoshop
Elements 13 versus Premiere Elements 13 side of things was challenging.

Photoshop Elements Organizer 11 - Drag and Drop to Marked Faces

Hello,
I have recently upgraded from PSE 10 to 11. In 10 I used to drag People tags onto autodetected faces which would server to add the tag as well label the mark of the face (2 birds with one stone). In 11 when I attempt to drag and drop a People tag onto a marked face, the square and the "Who is this" disapears. The only way I can find to actually mark the face is by actually typing the name for each person. Definitely a more painful way of doing it versus drag and drop. Did Adobe drop this feature or is this a bug I can expect to be fixed in an upcoming update? Or is this problem that is just local to my machine?
Thanks! Rob

That is pretty disappointing! Regardless of a revamp or not, marching into a NEW version should NOT mean reduced functionality! I didn’t use the facial recognition in 10 because most of the time it got it wrong! Also, for my people tags I like to tag (mark faces) with tags of “Family” and “Friends”. More often than not this represents the bulk of my people tagging. So now I actually have to type it in or I have to try to use Add People and hope it gets it right more than in version 10. That is definitely a slower workflow!
Sigh. OK. My next question is that it looks like Add people facial recognition is not working at all. It is finding faces but it is not suggesting names at all, even after doing a number to try to teach it. I will start up a second thread to ask that question.
Beyond this does anyone have any ideas on how to save a time on People tagging? This represents the bulk of the time I spend in Organizer so making this process work faster is really important to me.

Hyper-V with Multiple Windows 7 Workstations versus RDS

I have a Windows 2008 r2 standard server and need to setup RDS that runs office 2013 and a 3rd party EMR software for around 10 users. I checked and the only version of office 2013 that works on a server is Pro plus which is supposedly around $500 per
user.
So I started wondering if Hyper-V would be a better solution. Essentially I would add a new virtual Windows 7 workstation for each remote user they need and log in to each to configure a traditional W7 remote desktop setup. All of which would be going across
a 3 site vpn tunnel. So this would give the user a W7 environment versus a server OS but I have a few questions:
Would the Hyper-V setup in this way be more resource intensive on the server and the lan/wan?
It seems that their would be a significant amount of additional configuration time to get the Hyper-V working because I would have to login to each one and join it to the domain, create AD users, install the EMR software, configure remote desktop, open firewall
ports, set static ip's, etc...
Cost wise, it seems like for the Hyper-V I would simply need a windows license and a standard office 2013 home and business license for each virtual Windows 7.
Please give me thoughts and suggestions regarding this setup. Any help is appreciated.

"Would the Hyper-V setup in this way be more resource intensive on the server"
Remember that each virtual machine includes a full installation of the operating system. Therefore, you have to buy a license to cover each VM, you are loading the operating system and the application into the memory of the virtualization host, and
you are storing the full installation for each VM. (There are ways to ameliorate this, but to easily do that also requires additional software and services). That and the additional management overhead you describe, though there should be no reason
to require static IP addresses. And don't forget that you are patching a lot more software, too.
This discussion has been going on ever since the advent of operating system virtualization. It has been proven over and over again that fewer resources are required for a RDS deployment of applications, but different organizations have different business
needs so a virtual desktop versus a virtual application makes sense. There is no simple answer.
