Photoshop Elements 10 hung up at Restoring people recognition 2%

Hello
     I just buy Photoshop Elements 10. after install, I could not open Organizer because it is hung up at "Restoring People Recognition 2%"
Please help. Thank you

Hold down the shift button when you open Elements Organizer. Try to create a new catalog and see if it launches the organizer. If it does go to "edit" menu then preferences.Under preferences you have an option to select media-analysis, click it and uncheck the option for "analyze photos for people automatically". Click OK the close the organizer. Hold down the shift key again to launch the catalog manager then select the original catalog that could not be opened then click open. Hopefully you can open organizer now.

  • 'Restoring People Recognition Data' hung up

    Have installed new Elements 9 and Premiere 9.
    All works well, except can't get into organizer without hanging up on this
    message, 'Restoring People Recognition Data'.  It shows 2% progress and just hangs there.
    I have to close out of program to do anything.
    Please help.
    Thank you,

    here I am one year later than others on this thread and I am having the same problem moving to PSE 11 after installing it on a new machine.  I backuped up the PSE 8 catalog on my old machine (onto a removable USB terabyte drive that includes both the photos and backup).  I moved the drive to the new machine.  I restored to new location  (also on the terabyte drive, but not the same place as the backup or the photos).
    Hours later, it hungs up on "restoring people recognition".  The only difference is that my percent is 3% not 2%.  :-(
    I killed it and tried to open PSE.  It stops at the same place.
    As it says on

    I tried open with shift to create a new catalog and after creating a small other empty catalog
    I unchecked properties | Media-Analysis | Analyze Photos for People Automatically. 
    I closed everything
    Reopened with shift held down.  It asks to pick a catalog.  I switch to the big restored one and I get the same hang on restoring people recognition.
    So, this did nothing to change the behavior, so I can not used PSE 11 yet.

  • Start up Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 - why does it stall at "restoring people recognition data" 42%

    I just downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 & Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (Windows,English). When it starts up it stalls at the dialogue box "restoring people recognition data" 42%.
    I have to close the program then the whole thing happens again.
    Pretty frustrating for $150............... to upgrade from Elements 8

    This seens to be a problem of Media Analysis which generally arises if there are too many/too large assets in your catalog.
    Just try the following steps:-
    1. Go to Edit->Preferences->Media Analysis
    2  Go to People Recognition options
    3. Uncheck the "Analyse Photo for People recognition".
    4. Press "OK"

  • Restoring People Recognition hangs PSE12

    I upgraded my computer from XP to Windows 7 and installed all the updates for Windows 7 before installing PSE12.
    After installing PSE12, I converted my PSE8 organizer catalog to PSE12.  I had to rename the catalog since the default name was already used.  The conversion worked fine and the photos showed up in the browser.
    However, a process started called "restoring people recognition". I only used face matching a few times in PSE8 and don't really want to use it in PSE12.  Anyway  the process  showed 9% completion and stops and PSE12 organizer is unresponsive.  At this point I cannot use the organizer since it gets hung on the "restoring people ..." process even after rebooting.  Also, I looked for a process to kill in the task manager but was only able to kill the entire PSE12 organizer.  Any suggestions?

  • Restoring People Recognition Data issue

    upgraded from elements 8 to 11 and Organizer keeps hanging. says "Restoring people recognition data"  stays at 20% and never moves.  Tried several times.  Tried holding Shift, but not dice.

    Click on the add people icon at the bottom of Organizer and leave indexing to run until complete.

  • Moving a Photoshop Elements 3.0 Catalog -- Restore Fails

    I have tried to use the back-up / restore-to-new-location method to move a PSE 3.0 (Windows XP) catalog from my hard drive to a mounted network drive (Seagate Black Armor NAS 220).  The backup works correctly, but the restore doesn't quite work.  The files do get copied to the new network drive location appropriately, both using and not using the full former directory structure, but the catalog file that is created still references the original hard drive locations of the files.  I also tried this after (finally) adding the PSE 3.0.1 patch as well, with the same results.
    It is hard to believe that an issue like this wouldn't have ever been  fixed.  Has anyone successfully moved a catalog in 3.0/3.0.1 via this method, or has anyone else seen this issue?  Are there any fixes or alternate methods out there?
    Being that the .psa catalog files are Access databases (in the old versions of PSE), I'm about to try directly updating the catalog file for the correct locations, since I can do it fairly easily (i.e. via SQL instead of file-by-file location updates)., but I still think there has to be a way to do this without resorting to modifying the catalog file directly.
    Thanks,

    Doug,
    First I want to say that I have no idea how effectively PSE 3 will process a catalog or the photo files residing on a Network drive. I mention this explicitly to that you do not interpret any other comments that I make as encouraging you to run from the Network drive with PSE 3.
    I have more expereince with this in PSE 4 when periodically using a Backup and Restore scenario to take a catalog and photo files from a desktop machine to an old laptop. 
    What I did experience was that if photo files were still referenceable at the previous folder location then the PSE 4 Restore command did not update the PSE Catalog pointers to the new folder location. This symptom does appear to be similar to your current problem with PSE 3.
    Therefore I changed my process to make the previous folder location not referenceable (even with any automatic adjustments that for userid differences on different machines that PSE Restore would make) before doing the Restore command.  That did solve the problem of the catalog pointers to the photo files of the restore not being updated.
    In your case, since you say you know how to do the SQL to adjust the catalog database, that might be a good option. Otherwise you could delete what was placed on the Network drive, make the original photo file folders not addressable and then do the PSE 3 Restore again.
    A general but I think important comment.
    Usually I do not recommend people upgrading to a new version just for the sake of upgrading. However in your case, you are running version 3 (which was the very first version which had the Organizer combined in to Photoshop Elements) and yet you are expanding your use of Windows operating system functions to practices common now but not common for consumers back in 2004 when PSE v3 was first available.  
    Therfore I suggest that you consider upgrading your version of Photoshop Elements.
    I am not saying go to PSE v8. PSE 7 does seems to be still available from reliable sources.  Some people still run PSE 5.

  • Restoring People Recognition Data

    I downloaded elements 11 as an upgrade from elements 8. The download went fine but now I am frozen on "Restoring People Recoginition". My old version of Elements 8 is still activated. Could this be the Problem?

      PSE8 should not be the problem. Try temporarily turning off auto-analysis.
    Go to Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis
    Uncheck all the boxes and click OK
    If the Organizer won’t budge try getting to the prefs via the Editor:
    Edit >> Preferences >>Organize & Share
    You can re-start people recognition at any time by clicking the Add People icon at the bottom of the organizer and then let the indexing run again.

  • Help with Photoshop Elements 10 after system restore

    Hi I need some help and guidance. I have successfully installed my Photoshop Elements 10 twice now; once on my own; and following a MS Vista System Restore; with the help of Adobe support . I then worked on it for a day and all was well.
    But unbeknown to me at the time, I had a MS System corruption that was causing Boot issues resulting in a forced Restore of my system and both Restores caused the Photoshop elements desk-top shortcut to disappear and a subsequent PSE10 re-install to fail with the dreaded Data7 , and "Application Shared Technologies" and rollback of Orgainizer and Editor etc etc.
    I now realise that the two events were connected and the Adobe Support Person helped me get PSE10 up and running but it involved a lot of file permission changes etc, which lost me in the process, which was done remotely. PS Great customer support!!
    After sorting out my MS Vista problem due to "Corrupt System" files, I now need to get my PSE10 up and running again; but how?
    Regards John

    Have you tried uninstalling and installing again?
    thanks.

  • How to Reconcile Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer's New People with Previous Versions.

    On updating earlier version catalog (Photoshop Elements 10) to Version 12, the older version's "People" tags were not converted to new People (Faces) tags. Images with People tags but not tagged faces were also not converted. Now I have a mess of Family Tags and Group Tages representing people. Nearly all of the new (ver. 12) People groups, when clicked, respond that no media exist. Hours on telephone with Adobe Technicians has been useless. They cannot seem to relate to problem. It must not be in the manual from which they are reciting. At this point, number of crashes and quirks in Photoshop Elements 12 are making me rethink whether I want to stay with Adobe Products at all.

    You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline.  You don't have to use iPhoto.

  • Restoring People Recognition Data: Elements 11 Organizer is frozen @ 55%. Why?

    Windows 7 Professional O/S.
    Prior version Elements 8 also installed.

    The Organizer preferences may have become corrupted, needing to be automatically re-built on a re-start.
    Close Elements.
    Click the Start Button and then your user name (in place of mine) and navigate to:
    C: Users >> 99Jon >> AppData >> Roaming >> Adobe >> Elements Organizer >>11.0 >> Organizer
    Delete the PSA file (with key symbol) and delete Status.dat
    After deleting these two files re-start the program
    AppData may be a hidden system file. See the link to reveal hidden files.

  • Photoshop elements 5.0.2 restore catalog

    I recently had to rebuild my Vista 32 bit operating system.  After that I installed PSE 5.0.2 and Premiere Elements 3.0.2 again.  After the installations had completed I started PSE with the "view and Organize photos" option and then went to RESTORE catalog so that I could restore from a full catalog backup I had taken earlier.  The restore appeared to be successful but when I remove the last CD from a multi-CD backup, PSE just seemed to freeze up.  When I start the task monitor it indicates that PSE is "not responding".  After that I terminate PSE.  I have reinstalled both Adobe applications several times with the same results.  I have also deleted the MY Calalog.PSA entries and all entries in the my pictures folders so that the next catalog restore I did would have a clean start.  Nothing changed.  I have thousands of photos in this catalog and really need to get it restored.
    I should add that the first time I restored the catalog after reinstalling PSE it appeared to be successful.  The collections and tags were there.  I then decided to create an new catalog with the name "My Catalog 2009" for any future pictures to reside in.  After that I was never able to get PSE to run again.  Anytime I started it, it appeared to freeze up.
    I checked another thread with a similar problem that suggested starting PSE and hitting cntl, alt, shift inorder to get to catalog selection entries.  I did that and renamed "My Catalog" to something else.  Then when PSE started I created another catalog and put on picture in it.  That worked fine.  Then I restored the catalog from another full backup,  thinking the one I had previously used was bad.  But the same thing happened again.  After the restore had complete PSE froze up.  All my full backups can't be bad.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Greg

    I'm not sure about the backup problem.
    Freezing when you open PSE 5.0.2 in Vista is fixed via this: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400848&sliceId=1
    Guess: This could fix the backup problem as well.

  • Photoshop elements, Programm crash while the face recognition

    I installes an update from PS elements 8.0 to 12.0. After I have converted the catalog, I startet PS elements 12. I saw my pictures for a second. Then the screen "Face recognition" occured. Then the Programm ist closed with an error. Can I deactivate the face recognition? Or better, solve the problem?

    We just have the exact problem here. PSE 8 - Upgrade to PSE 12 - start 12, face recognition starts and PSE 12 closes/crashes.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling PSE12 did not help. Turning of the recognition is not possible as PSE12 crashes before any settings could be done.

  • Update photoshop elements catalog did not preserve people tags

    I recently bought Lightroom, having been a long-standing user of Elements. I tried to update my Elements 11 catalog, but many of my pictures have People tags which failed to make it through into the Lightroom catalog. In other words, many of my pictures, when looking at them in Lightroom, don't have the tags for the names of the people in the pictures, even though this information was present in Elements 11.
    Is there something I can do to get the People information across from Elements 11 into Lightroom 4.3?
    Thanks
    Rob

    I see you have already tried the usual methods.
    One thing that puzzles me is the screenshot with the file 'thumbs.5.cache'.
    That file is the cache storing the thumbnails : it's an sqlite database just like the main catalog : catalog.pse11db.
    Normally, when you 'optimize' the catalog, that cache file is rebuilt, but sometimes the only way to replace it is to delete it, and wait for the Organizer to rebuild it (several hours in your case...)
    It would not hurt to do so in PSE10 before trying the conversion.
    The conversion in PSE11 also converts (or make a copy ?) of the cache file.
    In my tests, the conversions in PSE11 do work even if the cache file is missing, and even if there are missing files. So, trying to convert without the cache file and let the Organizer rebuild the thumbnails in PSE11 is possible.
    Edit:
    I see 99jon was on the same track.
