Organizer space

PSE6 user on Vista. OK problem is I am able to create albums and populate with photos. When I am finished editing what I would like to do is clear the organizer workspace before closing. Then when I reopen PSE6 I would like to start with a blank slate and only open whatever specific photos I want to work with. Now when I shut down and reopen all the catalogued pics pop up automatically. I see no option to 'close' photos. glenn

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I renamed the My Catalog like you said and opened my catalog and thought I was seeing things!!! It opened with everything intact ( in only 10 seconds)!!! I am so grateful for all your patience with my inexperience and crazy questions! I also deleted the photos that I was originally trying to put onto the computer at the time it "crashed", don't know if that helped or not. Either way, Thank you!
Now for a backup question, since my first attempt on DVDs obviously didn't work. I have a second internal hard drive with 500GB. Is it ok to backup there? Will I be able to recover if they are on the "same" computer? I also have a 40gb external hard drive but I've filled that up with my backup photos. Should I backup my catalog to that location instead?
Thank you! Susie

Using two internal DVD burners in a PowerMac G4

Has anyone out there installed a second DVD burner in the bottom slot of their MDD G4? And if so, is it possible to burn a DVD via iDVD on "Drive 1", and while that's going, burn another DVD via Disk Utility (with a disc image) on "Drive 2"?
I'm looking for a way to burn DVDs, two different ones, one on each drive, and also the same DVD but using two different apps so that the time spent duplicating DVDs is cut in half.
(Hope that made sense!).
Of course, I know there are specific machines that do this, DVD replicators that you don't need to connect to a computer.
Or is it better to connect an external DVD burner drive, and then is it possible to do the aforementioned above?
I'd rather not have to get an external drive. I have a SuperDrive that functions, but resides in a G4 iMac that died, so it's just sitting around unused. And if that G4 iMac was working right now, I'd be using it to burn my other DVDs at the same time.
I guess you can see where this is going!! I used to have the capability by using two different machines, but since the second machine is (GASP!) acting like a Dell (broken), I'm a sitting duck.
[By the way, my bottom slot is home to an old PowerMac G3 CD-ROM drive that fit like a charm. I bought a CD-RW drive for it originally, and could not get it to fit-- it was shorter lengthwise than could reach the connectors --so I ended up putting that CD-RW drive in my PowerMac G3 and swapped drives].
Is it even possible to use two internal DVD burners in a PowerMac G4?
PowerMac G4 1.42 GHz DP Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB RAM / ATI Radeon 9700 / USB 2.0 PCI / Serial ATA 133 PCI

If you have two hard drives in a G4 MDD you should be
able to run two burners at once as long as they are
not getting data from the same hard drive.
Both burners would then have to be set
Master. Option-Eject would then probably not work
for the second drive but there is a menu bar item
you can install for ejecting disks.
I kind of lost you there. As "experienced" as I am with Macs.
I have actually, 4 drives in my computer. ATA-66 is the original install, a Seagate 120 GB that I moved there after trying it out and finding no real speed issues (I don't have any benchmarks, but my proof comes from the work I do-- moderate video editing with iMovie and Motion... the apps reside on the 120 GB and my projects are in different places. I saw no difference in speed from when it was originally attached to the ATA 100 bus, to when it moved to the ATA-66).
On the ATA 100, I have a Seagate 300 GB drive.
On my PCI card bus, which has both ATA-133 and Serial ATA-150, I have a Maxtor 300 GB drive connected to the former (which is a 133 speed drive), and a Western Digital Raptor 74 GB connected to the latter (which is an SATA 150 speed drive).
Both are never used at the same time, by the way... at least, I don't remember. (Which reminds me, I better check that. I told myself I'd never do that, but lately, I've been swapping project files from one to another to organize space and all). Talking about the Raptor and Maxtor drives.
So what would I do then? My SuperDrive on top is a factory original install, and as I mentioned, the other SuperDrive I'd put on the bottom comes from a dead iMac G4, so it would also be an OEM drive. I just don't know if it's the same speed as my PowerMac's.
I do follow, however, what you mean by two drives. So for my iDVD project, I'd be burning it from iDVD, from wherever my media files are stored, in this case, the Maxtor 300 GB.
Are you saying that I'd be fine if I then took a disc image that resides on my Raptor drive, and make a DVD from Disk Utility?
What I'm not sure about is how to set it up. I wasn't aware, until now, that optical drives also had master settings. I knew hard drives did. (So in essence, duh, it would be logical for optical drives to have it).
When I put my CD-ROM drive from my PowerMac G3 into the lower slot, I didn't set anything. Though, since it's a read-only drive, it probably didn't matter.
But I'm sure it would with two DVD burners.
So what should I do there?
(Thank you for your help by the way. It is greatly appreciated!).

Looking for Quadractic programming package

Anyone know where I could get hold of a java package for quadratic programming?

Actually this is a line of attack I'm considering on a problem I posed a couple of weeks back, and for which I got no response.
The project involved is a geographical information system. One of it's functions is to compose composite maps which may have map data superimposed from several sources, and also may have scales, captions, legends etc..
This composition is specified by an XML file, which works like java.swing.Box in the way it organizes space.
The specific problem arrises when sizes for the various frames are not explicitly provided. Some frames have minimum feasible dimensions, some have fixed aspect ratios, some are greedy for teritory in one or both dimensions, some aren't improved by being enlarged.
I've just written code which does this allocation of teritory by linear programming. The trouble is the qualities I'm trying to optimise are still rather vague, and don't want to be linear. For example frames that display actual maps want to be as large as possible and still fit, but if there is more than one of them then they should, by default, be of similar area. If I take linear objecitve functions (e.g. the sum of the two dimensions) then one very large one and one vanishingly small one gives me the same objective score as two of equal size.
I'm considering modifying the simplex algorithm, having find an optimum vertex, to look for neigbouring verticies with the same score and then average them, in effect if there's an edge, facet, hyperfacet or whatever of the simplex tangental to the objective planes then take the middle of it.
I'll probably experiment with that today.
If I can find a quadratic programming package I should be able to experiment without a big investment of time.

The Organizer does not support the color space in the file

I just purchased and installed PSE 8 as an upgrade to PSE 6. My catalog correctly shows all of my existing images. However, when I try to import photos into the Organizer, I get a message that nothing was imported. The reason given is that "The Organizer does not support the color space in the file." This happens with photos taken on my iPhone as well as those from my Canon PowerShot A1100 IS. Any suggestions?

It turns out that this problem went away after the program crashed. Everything seems to be working well now.

Trouble with Elements organizer and online storage space

Hello,
I have a problem with my online storage space showing files, when I have deleted everything. The techs at Adobe want me to reset client services within organizer, but this only causes the program to hand up loading for hours.... So, is there a way to solve this? Do I need to remove and reinstall? Can this be done just for the organizer program?

How much space does my Organizer hold? Will it ever get full?

Hi, I was just wondering how many pic's will my Organizer hold? Will it ever run out of space? Cause I sure do have alot in there now. Windows xp with 512 of ram.
Thanks, [email protected]

Thanks for the correction. Yes, the file size in Jet 4.0 was changed to 2
gigabytes. I had forgotten that. I've been retired two years for Heaven's
sake. However, within the context that I brought it up, it was only to
tease a little bit :-) by indicating that there is a physical limit
to the size of the database and, hence, a limit to the number of entries --
i.e. it's not unbounded. Whether it's 1 or 2 gigabytes, it's still finite.
And, for Organizer, it hardly matter much because performance issues would
probably create a practical limit long before the physical limit was
reached.
Jet 4.0 was the last version of the Jet database engine and that was
superceded by the Microsoft Desktop engine (MSDE) and (as of the time of my
retirement at least) was deprecated as a component of the Microsoft Data
Access Components (MDAC). Time marches on. I understand that Microsoft is
replacing MSDE with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and that standard
support of MSDE will cease at the end of next year. Taking all that into
account, I think I can be forgiven for opining JET obsolete. :-) I have not
heard of a new version of JET in the works. If you have, more power to you.
Being retired, I no longer need to keep on top of database developments or
care to. :-) :-) :-)
Time to get back on topic.

In PSE will I use more hard-disk space by using iPhoto plus Organizer for photos?

I have PSE 10 on my MAC. I normally download my photos onto iPhoto (and a while ago, onto Bridge CS3 which came with an earlier version of PSE) but more recently have become interested in using the PSE Organizer for my photo library. I have started to transfer/copy the photos from iPhoto but, having read various topics on organizing photos, am a little worried that by having the photos in 2/3 places on the MAC I will use much more hard-disk space. I know that the original files for iPhoto are in the 'Library' so that I just see thumbnails on iPhoto ( I may be wrong here?), but will the photos I now have on Organizer be working off those same 'Library' originals or am I doubling up on the space required to store these photos?

For information my iPhoto is v 9.5.1 and would seem not to like .dng files so won't load them (I am using the Adobe RAW to DNG 8.3 Converter at the moment mainly because I would have to upgrade to PSE12 to get the RAW plug-in to process my Lumix G-6 RAW files, which is fairly expensive and, even then, my iPhoto would still be the same version unless I upgraded that as well!).
I can load the RAW files onto iPhoto but when I then send them to PSE or iPhoto itself for editing they seem to be automatically converted to .jpg and do not have the usual RAW editing selection palette. However, the PSE Organizer seems happy to accept the .dng files (but not the RAW files) and when sent to PSE for editing I do get the RAW type palette, so it looks like storing my .dng files in Organizer is a good idea and, therfore, I might as well store other photos there as well rather than run two different organizers - I will leave the photos in Bridge as they are.
If you are talking about photos not in iphoto, this is correct. If you use "from iPhoto" you will get automatic duplicates of the originals in a new location. If you export them manually and use from files and folders, yes, the organizer just makes a thumbnail.
This paragraph made me think! I'm pretty sure that when I decided to transfer my photos from iPhoto into PSE Organizer I used "from iPhoto" as this seemed the easiest way. Does this mean that I have duplicated the file size of my iPhoto library and am therefore using much more hard-disc space than if I had used "from files and folders" (getting just thumbnails)? The transfer seems to have pulled in a lot of folders! If this is the case, is there any way to go back and do it again but "from files and folders" next time?!
This is all rather complicated it would seem (or I'm making it that way!) and I really appreciate your help.

Best way to organize several versions of Photoshop Elements to conserve disk space?

I have Elements 9, 11, and now Version 12. I am wondering if I should import into Version 12's Organizer all of my previous photo files, then delete or uninstall the older versions of PhotoShop Elements?
Currently running Windows 7 - 64 bit with latest SP installed. I would like to try and keep the hard disk storage fairly lean, and can't help but wonder about the space that is being taken up by having all of these versions of Elements installed! Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your replies and insights!
BrokenBell

Thank you so much for your input! I sometimes feel that I must be increditable stupid as I try to get BOTH organized but also learn how to use all of the features found in Photoshop Elements. Part of the reason that I say this, is because I have always been pressed for time, so I try & do one most pressing thing, that usually doesn't turn out quite like it was described it would or could be, and then I'm off to take care of more pressing issues, and don't get back to trying it after days or weeks have passed, so its kinda of like starting all over again.
Again, thanks for your reply and input!
Sincerely,

The organizer does not store your photos, only links to their locations on the hard disk. So all your different versions will be looking at the same image file, so no duplication of the photos themselves.
If you find yourself using features in 9 or 11 that were removed in later versions (e.g. interactive photomerge, magic extractor, lighting effects etc ...) I'd be inclined to leave them installed unless you are critically short of disk space.
Cheers,
Neale

Organizer view has no spaces between the pictures. How do I see the arrows to see the elements of a version set

My organizer view does not look like the view in the tutorials. The photos are all lined up in a solid mass with no gray space in between. I can't see arrows to view elements of a version set, and the photos are difficult to pick out individually. I thought about just deleting all the photos and importing them again, but I can't because the program keeps saying they are already in the organizer. When I delete the album the photos are in, they are still in the organizer and still in a solid mass. I also can't seem to find any way to delete the sample photos. So I have two questions: how to delete photos from the program and how to fix the view. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Go to the View menu and select Details or Ctrl & D
It changes back to the classic grid display
To delete pictures from the catalog, select the picture(s) and then press the Delete key. You will then be asked if you want to also delete them from the hard drive. Make your own choice as required.

Your system is low on disk space and elements organizer cannot perform this operation

your system is low on disk space and elements organizer cannot perform this operation is the error message i keep getting. i have emptied my recycle bin and got rid of some software that i don't use and im still getting the error. Any Suggestions?

As you might be aware, when you apply auto-fix, a new file (of almost equal size) is created on HDD. This issue might arise if you don't have sufficient hard disk space on the drive which contains the source image. Do you have enough storage space available on your HDD?

When doing catalog backup get message " your system is low on disk space, and elements organizer can

When doing catalog backup get message " your system is low on disk space, and elements organizer cannot perform the operation. If create a catalog with 20 pictures backup works OK. backing up to a 1TB external drive. Have 16705 pictures in catalog. Total disk space for pictures is 192 MB. Why am I getting message?

kdrozzen a écrit:
Total disk space for pictures is 192 MB.
Do you really mean MB (megabytes) or GB (gigabytes) ?
Even if its GB, the free space may be enough, depending on your files size, especially with videos or raw files.
When you start the backup process, it first shows you the total size of the catalog.

PSE10: Cannot open Editing space. Organizer opens OK. [was: Software problem?]

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and have been using it successfully for awhile. Today, the organizer opens just fine, but the editor space refuses to open even after restarting the computer. Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Start the editor while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do. This will work from the button in the organizer, or the button in the welcome screen or the actual .exe/application file for the editor. It doesn't work if you have set the welcome screen to automatically open the editor try to do it that way.

Organize BO Explorer Information Spaces in folders

Hello,
Is it possible to organize information spaces in the BO Explorer? Currently all the Information Spaces are appearing in the home page. Is it possible to group/organize them into folders? We are on XI 3.1
Thanks

Hi,
Grouping Information Spaces in the home page is not possible in 3.x and 4.0.x versions.
And currently it is not planned for 4.1 version.

I upgraded to iOS 5 and I went from having about 15GB of free space to being 4 GB over capacity. Any solutions which save me from having to re-organize all of my apps?

After I upgrded to iOS 5, the category of other is taking up 15.3 GB of space. Prior to the upgrade, I had approx. 15GB of free space on my 64 GB iPad. My concern is that the only solution to this problem that occurred from the "upgrade" is that I have to do a factory reset. If I do a factory reset, there are two big pain points.
1) The amount of time that it will take to get all of my stuff back onto the iPad. When I first got the iPad, it took about 2 days for the music, videos, and photos to load.
2) Re-organizing my apps. I currently have my 229 apps organized into 11 folders and 8 screens. I know this is a lot of apps, but I don't want to have to go through the struggle of getting it all organized as it is today. Is there any way to get all of the apps organized the same way post-reset that will not involve a whole lot of work by me?
I have tried to call Apple support to get help on this, but I have gone through 4 phone calls with hold times averaging 45 minutes before speaking to someone. After all of this time and effort, their solution is a factory restore and do all the work myself.

Hi again
The problem isn´t solved but we now know what it is.
Because I couldn´t upgrade the last 1-2 times with iTunes I though the problem was my iPod touch 3. generation, so when I heard that Apple couldn´t find or re-create the problem(s), then I flipped out. Sorry about that.
Because it looks as the problem belong to the Philips speakersystem (real name is DCM 580).
So when I received my touch back today and after speaking with Apple - DK, I looked at Philips support and found a firmware upgrade to the speakersystem from Sept. 23, 2011. Did upgrade my speakersystem and after that the rechargesystem through the dockconnection worked again. And at this afternoon on the homepage of my speakersystem, Philips tells us, that they have created a firmware update that only needs approval and then will be released at the homepage. So it looks at the whole problems was to some compatibility problems with the speakersystem after upgrading to iOS 5.0.
Its not easy to know where to start when 2 or more units are involved these days
Looked in the mirrow then I ofcourse know very well that we allways shall look for firmware and drive updates before anything else. This time I missed that because I have upgraded several time since February and uptil the day before upgrading to iOS 5.0 and none of thise upgrades had any needs for speakersystem upgrades.
Friendly regards
Bear

How much hard drive space do photos in the organizer take up on hard drive?

Do the pictures in the organizer in PSE 12 take up room on the hard drive or are they just copies of what's in iPhoto?

Thanks for the quick reply! And the help. My computer shows many Preview app documents. Lots of pictures. Just wanted to know if I was duplicating storage. Thanks again.
