Photoshop element 12 catalogue

I have an error showing up and I need help to fix my problem:
error said:   the request operatoin could not be completed because the catalogue is currently locked by another process.
Please, HELP  and I do not have an other catalogue open.
Liane

Which operation can't be run? Which OS and OS version ?
Things to try in the following order:
- check if you have a file still open in the editor
- re-try with the editor shut down
- closing the organizer and restarting
- re-booting the computer
If that does not work, we'll have to check if some background process like autoanalyzer, watched folders or automatic reconnecting are the reason of the message.

    Newer versions have similarity recognition software but in PSE6 you have to do it manually.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer Catalogues

    I have several different catalogues within the Elements Organizer 9. I recently restored one catalog from a DVD backup. Now, none of my catalogs are availabe for viewing. There doesn't seem to be an option anywhere within the catalog menu for locating the other ones. I didn't back those ones up, as there should be no reason for them to completely disappear. The two shown in the image below are the one that I restored and the other's blank. Is there something that I need to do to bring they other catalogues back? I'm assuming they must still exist, and it would be a pain to re-tag all of the thousands of images within each of the different catalogues. If you need more clarification, let me know.

    Thank you so much, that helped me to locate the catologues. I can now open them from there, although if I open one, they all still don't show up in the catologue menu. That's alright, this is still a simple work-around to access all of these catalogues. Thank you for the quick response, I appreciate it.

  • Catalogue Freezes in Photoshop Elements 12 in Windows 7 on desktop

    I  am trying to transfer Photoshop Elements 12 Catalogue to a new computer, (from W7 to W8.1) but when backing up my catalogue on W7 I get as far as 62% and Photoshop stops responding. I have repaired and checked the catalogue in Catalogue manager and tried to backup to severaal different Hard Drives with no success. Can I just copy the catalogue and move it to the new pc?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Transferring catalogues from Photoshop Elements 5 to Photoshop Elements 9

    The process should be an easy one -- BUT, my new copy of Elements 9 does not list under the FILE column, anything that looks like or works like "Catalogue".
    Instead of the listing as per the Adobe tutorial as follows: FILE (then) Get Photos & Videos, (or) New, (or) Open recently edited in Editor, (or) Catalogue
    My new software lists the following: FILE (then) New, (or) Open, (or) Open As, (or) Open recently Edited File, (or) Duplicate. 
    [No sign of Catalogue to be found anywhere -- hence impossible to transfer files/catalogues.]
    Note: I use elements for its catalogue function with Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5.  New camera required updated RAW-read ability from the old Elements 5.

    Thank you Michael.
    So strange -- Elements 5 Catalogue was so clear, so obvious.  Elements 9
    appears to revel in its obscureness.  Actually, at the time I wrote of my
    confusion I was in the Organizer all along.  BUT, I've yet to find a way of
    showing a horizontal task bar, as in Elements 5.  There is a (too) clever
    virtually hidden chevron in dark gray about 1/4 distance from the top left,
    which when clicked on provides a drop down menu with all required options
    -- instead of the always obvious horizontal task bar.  What could they
    possibly have been thinking?
    Anyway, as I said in my initial plea for help, my only reason for doing all
    this was to be able to collect Canon RAW  images from the 5DII -- into the
    elements catalogues.  That in fact does work now.  However, no doubt I'll
    be deferring to Adobe Bridge CS5 much more for storage and retrieval.
    Elements 9 has little to recommend it for me.  What do the great unwashed
    say about "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"
    Thank you again -- very, very much Mike.
    All the best,
    Seymour Remen

  • My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Photoshop Elements 10? What is going on?

    My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Elements 10. What is going on?

    Thank you for the advice. I have a PC and the catalogs were for the most part where you said they would be, on the C drive under Program Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. The last six months folder as well as a cruise I took in 2012 is missing but the rest seems to be there. Now I seem to have two Organizers-the one I just found and the one I created with my March 2013 trip pictures. How do I put them together and find them when I click on the Photoshop elements Organizer icon? You mentioned “pointing “ PSE to it in the default mode? How do I do that?

  • Photoshop Elements 5 just stopped working and will not open my catalogue.

    I have Photoshop Elements 5 running on Vista 64 bit.  It was working fine, but just stopped working out of the clear blue outside of regular Microsoft patches.
    The intro screen opens but when I click on Organize my photos it starts to open the next window but just sits there trying to open my catalogue file of pictures.  I've left it there trying to fully open for hours and nothing progresses beyond that point.  Any suggestions?

    Please re-post your question in the correct forum.

  • Moving Photoshop Elements catalogues from a PC to a Mac

    I have created several photo catalogues on my PC using Photoshop Elements 7. I have now moved to a Mac computer. I have imported my photos tom my new computer, and into iPhoto. However I would like to continue organising and editing them with Photoshop Elements. To this end I intend to purchase the Photoshop Elements for Mac software. However if I do this how to I move the catalogue (and stack details) for my photo collection to the Mac? Grateful for some advice.

    And presumably once i have checked everything has imported correctly, i can then delete those photos in iPhoto that I now have duplicates of in my new Mac PSE folder? This would then provide a sort of safeguard on the transfer process. Will all the stacks, catalogues etc. in the new Mac PSE file be the same as on my old PC PSE file? As I have a lot of very old family photos from the early part of the last century i have numerous edits of each photo. These all appear separately in iPhoto. Presumably they will appear stacked as one photo in my new Mac PSE file? Apologies for these aggravating little questions but I want to make sure everything will be OK before starting the process.

  • Photoshop Elements catalogues synced with Photoshop express

    Help.  I am using Photoshop Elements 10.  We have two catalogues that became combined when we syned with Photoshop express.

    Tom:
    Thank you for your response. Couple of questions: When I go to file/new blank file what is the height and width to fit into tv safe mode for fce? I am changing the background color and adding different frames, etc. to the pics & I don't think I'll be doing alot of scanning. Also, I have scanned my photos at 72 dpi and will that not be sufficient if I do any type of pan and scan? I found out how to add the borders, etc. in photoshop - just want to make sure that when I import into fce everything will be smooth. Any "must do's" would be appreciated.

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • Import catalogue from adobe photoshop elements

    How can I import a photo catalogue from adobe photoshop elements (9.0) into Aperture?
    Thanks for every hint,
    Penibel

    Yes, use File>Write tags and properties to file and Elements should pick up the metadata keywords this creates. However, if you have raw files or tiffs from an epson scanner, the metadata creation can be unreliable.

  • In photoshop elements 12 I try to delete a folder but the delete option is grayed out. how can I delete a folder from my catalogue?

    how can I delete folders from photoshop elements 12. the option to delete is grayed out an I don't know what the alternative options are

    Got it fixed!  The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
    Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed?  To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
    Then change the Open With to iPhoto application! 
    Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto!  WALLA it worked!
