Organizer ELements 10 very slow

Is it my P:C opr is it a design of the system, anything I do seems to take at least a minute.  If I drag a tag to another category it takes over a minute, a search on a folder with only 50 pictures takes as long. I did a Ctrl Z to undo a change to a rating and it took over a minute.
   My machine is not that fast, it is a desktop I5 with 8 gig of ram and a 2 TB drive. I have about 50,000 images and videos on the PC
I have all the media analyzer boxes unchecked
I tried to move a folder from one upper level folder to another, I try to keep my photos organized by folders on my PC, it took a minute to move the folder
  When I move it on my PC from folder to folder, since it only had 3 pics in it it was done almost before I let go of the mouse button.
THEN when I went to "reconnect" the pictures so they would show in organizer (it lost them when I moved it) it said they are already in the organizer, what gives?
I want to use the organizer to tag photos and be able to search on them but if I have to do everything in the organizer I am 60 and won't live long enough to actually get it to work!  Unless you dump everthing in to one big "My Pictures" folder and organized it then it will work, maybe

I forgot...
Sorry, I am now with PSE11...
Moving a folder with 700 images in the 'Folders' view took still 5 seconds.
The number of folders was considered critical in older versions :

"Sometimes the Keyword Tags pane is painfully slow to use – expanding and collapsing categories, scrolling, dragging a keyword to a photo.   My tests showed that PSE 6 became unusable with more than 500 or so unique keyword tags, but that PSE 7 was able to handle at least 1500 to 2000 keyword tags."
Personnally I had no problem in PSE6 with more than 700 tags. I don't think that is really a problem.
To summarize : I still don't see what makes your organizer so sluggish...
PSE11 : no doubt it's speedier, especially in folder view. I am always disappointed when I have to work with PSE10 on my wife's laptop which is about the same as your computer, with only 4 Gb. Suggestion : wait next month for PSE12... and use a trial version.

  • PSE9 Organizer is very slow

    The organizer is very slow and take over a minute just to page from one screen to another.  I took off facial recognition but that only helped minimally.  Is this an improvement?  Previously used PSE 6 which worked fine.
    This is test of the trail version on a Vista SP2 Intel 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of memory

    After a couple of days of testing I've decided to pass on PSE9 :-
    Don't like the Organiser color - the light grey is far to light and don't like the grid around the photos
    The font for filename, tag name etc is far too small
    The organiser performance is slower than PSE7 - doesn't render photos instantly like PSE7, things like adding tags and anything done on multiple items seems to be slower in PSE9 than PSE7.
    Yes the new features are OK - but I cannot work with PSE9 so I'm passing on it.

  • Elements 10 organizer is very slow. Exif-file modification.

    Slow Elements organizer
    Problem 1: My elements organiser is slow! Very very slow!???
    Problem two:  Why Elements 10 organizer wipes off some data from exif-file, f.e. longitude reference (east or west). It is doing that for my exif-files each time I editing jpg-image. If I start editing with Element 10 editor from Picasa-organizer, then longitude references stays untouchable.
    Please advice!

    For my catalog of 48,000 items, the thumb.5.cache is 1,217,976 KB... and I have no speed problem. So that seems normal.
    Are you having speed problems ? Which PSE version ?
    What is indicated when you look at the menu Help / System info ?
    Do you use face detection, autoanalysis ?

  • PSE11 organizer is very slow

  • Have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow.  I don't know what's wrong!

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow.  Have no idea what's wrong or how to fix.  Op Sys is Apple, OS X, ver 10.9.1.

    If so, then see:
    http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mave ricks/
    For PSE 11 you want to get
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 settings
    if you use organizer, also
    com.adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist
    com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer11.plist
    If you use raw, Adobe Camera Raw < version > Prefs
    and any lockfiles with the same names.
    Since you've already run PSE, go into the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE.
    Repair permissions and try again.
    Also go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure everything there is off (except face recognitiion, if you use that).

  • Version 9 organizer very slow

    Running version 9 and find the Organizer to be very slow. Is the Organizer in Elements 13 a 64 bit application and will/does it run faster?

    Yes, if you have a 64 bit system, PSE 13 is 64-bits. However for PSE 9, go to the Organizer preferences>media analysis and turn off everything but Face Recognition and see if that helps any.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

    Any suggestion?
    Maybe there is big incompatibility with Yosemite?

  • Premier Elements 4 very slow and frequently crash

    Dear Adobe support staff,
    I've purchased Adobe Premier Elements 4 several yeard ago for an urgnet job I made.
    I didn't use it much because it crashes all the time, and it is very very slow and frustrating. So I've used other software instead.
    Needless to say that I was very dissappointed.
    Now, I want to give it a second chance. but it stiil keep crashing and still very very slow.
    My questions:
    1.  Why does it  crash all the time?  is there is a fix for the problem?
    2.  What kind of  Graphics Card or Video Editing Card do you recommend for my system to work relatively normal ?
    3.  How much will it  cost me to upgrade to version 11 ?
    My system SPEC:
    OS:  Microsoft Windows 7 ultimate  with SP1 (32bit) .
    CPU:  INTEL Core2 QUAD cpu Q9550 , 2.83 GHZ with a 4 GB of RAM.
    Graphics card:  NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT.
    Motherboard:   MICRO STAR INTERNATIONAL , MODEL MS-7353  3.0,  CHIPSET INTEL X48,
    RAM:  4 GB Dual Channel DDR2, 400 MHZ ,  512 MB memory.
    Please  advice.
    Sincerely yours,
    Shimon Tourgeman.

    For the crashing, this FAQ Entry might be useful. It starts with a general PrE checklist, then goes into computer and OS tuneup, and ends with many links on troubleshooting and finding causes: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
    As for the GPU, any current video card, with at least 1GB of VRAM, will work well. PrE does not place much of a load on the GPU, but it DOES rely very, very heavily on the video driver. Both nVidia and AMD/ATI issue constant driver updates, with nVidia leading the way at this moment.
    Also, while talking about drivers, some users have experienced issues with Win8 drivers. I would wait until SP1 has been released for Win8, before changing to it from Win7. For this reason, I just ordered a new laptop, and specified Win7. As the company, ADK, only builds custom and semi-custom video editing machines, they commented that they will ONLY install Win7 at this time, and have been testing Win8, since the first beta. They do not think that it is yet ready for "prime time."
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I still use PrE 4.0, but on XP-Pro SP3, and have only crashed it 2-3 times over the years. At least 2 times, it was due to OE on my part. However, my computer is tuned and built for video editing.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 : very slow startup

    Hi
    Here is a description of my problem:
    I boot my machine.
    I start Photoshop Elements 11.
    It takes a very long time to get ready ( loading color settings and workshop modes )
    I close Photoshop Elements 11 when I am done with my project.
    All subsequent startups of Photoshop Elements 11 are very fast.
    My question
    How can I avoid the very slow FIRST startup of Photoshop Elements 11 ?
    Can I pre-load the needed services (or whatever) when I boot my machine or when I login to my user account ?
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Thank you very much, Pat, for your great help.   The link has inspired me to download the trial version from the Adobe website and go from there:
    "Adobe Download Assistant" was automatically downloaded before the download of the trial version began.  With the "Adobe Download Assistant" up and running, the download of the trial version took within 30 minutes.  I then got to enter the serial code of my already purchased PSE 12 right after installation of the trial version and completed the whole set-up process (without even opening or using the trial version at all).
    It is rather counter-intuitive that one should start with a trial download even when he has gone straight into buying the product.  It was as if the trial version was a bridge to facilitate the official download because the trial version provided the "Adobe Download Assistant".  Maybe, it is expected that people would always take a trial before buying?  Or maybe, it is expected that most people would already have the "Adobe Download Assistant" handy?  
    Anyway, I am glad there is a solution.  In this case, I think the key is to get the "Adobe Download Assistant" which comes with the trial version.  Hope this post will help others who might face the same issue too. 
    Many thanks again. 

  • Copying/Duplicating elements is very slow in Edge Reflow

    Hi,
    When copying/duplicating elements in Edge Reflow that have quite a few nested areas it becomes very slow (sometimes taking 5-10 minutes!) I've tried it on a few machines in case it was a hardware issue but it seems sluggish on everything I try. Does anyone else have this issue and is it a software bug?
    Cheers,
    Rob.

    Hi Vic,
    Thanks for your response.
    Copying and pasting a single div is fine but as soon as there are multiple nested divs it rapidly becomes very slow to copy and paste (especially if there is quite a lot on the page). Quite often we are finding that we are having to force quit Reflow because it just hangs for 10 minutes or more. Areas such as headers that are quite complex and have a lot of nested divs we are therefore forced to manually copy bit by bit.
    Many thanks,
    Rob.

  • PSE 11 Organizer very slow

    Several months ago my battery on my Mac Book Pro died while I had PSE 11 Organizer open.  Ever since this time the organzer runs very slow and I spend more time watch the rainbow spin than I do working on my photos.  Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong or how to correct this problem?

    Try resetting the preferences file to see if it makes any difference:

  • PSE Elements 11 editor very slow

    PSE Elements 11 editor very slow and unresponsive since updating to Mac osx 10.9 (Maverick). Any help would be very much appreciated. Thankyou in advance.

    If you upgrade to 10.9 with the application already installed the old prefs will have been left behind; so you need to clear them. Start by quitting PSE11.
    Launch Finder and click the Go menu whilst holding down the Option (alt) key. Then go to Library >> Preferences and clear everything relating to PSE11 which usually means deleting the following files:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Settings
    Also see this link if you normally have Finder set to the cover flow view:

  • Elements 13 slow in editing

    Using Elements 13 with iMac and latest OS X Yosemite editing photographs is slow. My processor is 2.7GHz with L2 cache of 4 cores and 256 KB per core and L3 core of 4 MB. Surely this should be powerful enough to edit photos of 10MB up to composite psd files of around 50 MB?

    I'm having the same problem.  Trying to work with the organizer and editor is very slow, and frequently requires me to force quit and start again.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled more than once.  I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.5 with a 2.7 GHz Intel core i7 processor, 4DG memory 1333MHz DDR3.  It was a problem with previous versions and am now using version 12 of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements.  VERY frustrating.
