Photoshop Elements 10 organizer inoperable see Apple beach ball

Hello people,
Problem with PS10 organizer, it doesn't work. I see the Apple beachball rolling. I'm running 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) on my iMac, current on updates. Using iPhoto 11, current on updates. I've been using my PS8 to do my work, and saving it to another file, then dragging it to iPhoto to share it. I was dragging my editing photowork to PS10, but it won't allow it any longer. PS10 and PS8 crash every time I close them. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and didn't help.

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 settings
and any lockfiles with the same names.
That library is hidden in 10.8. To see it, in the finder click the Go menu and hold down the option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there go to the Saved Application States folder and delete everything for PSE.
It wouldn't hurt to repair permissions, either.

Maybe you need to enable Direct Play under Legacy Components in the Turn Windows Features on or off dialog.

Can't see several thumbnails in photoshop elements organizer grid

Can't see several thumbnails in photoshop elements organizer grid but when I open a non-viewable thumnail in the editor I can see it in the grid.
After opening the image in the editor it appears in the Organizer grid.

Seems like the thumbnail cache is corrupted in some way. Start by trying to Repair and Optimize the catalog (File > Manage Catalogs).

Photoshop Elements Organizer request for enhancements

I have two enhancements that would really make my day in Photoshop Elements Organizer:
The first would be the ability to move and copy items from one catalog to another. This might entail being able to have more than one catalog open at a time. I could then drag and drop or copy an item from one to another. I have several items in a family picture catalog that more appropriately belong in my genealogy catalog. The only way to rectify this now is to delete from the one catalog and then recreate it in the other.
The second would be the capability to stream albums directly to my Smart TV. Windows Media Player can currently do this, but I would have to recreate my albums in Windows Media Player, which seems a waste of time if I have already built albums in the Elements catalog. (There apparently is a way to do this currently using iTunes and an Apple TV device, but I would like to be able to do this directly from Elements).
The above two enhancements would be really cool!!
Thanks for your consideration.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I really don't think Adobe will ever adopt your suggestion #1. I just don't see any interest on Adobe's part for either PSE or Lightroom to allow multiple catalogs to be in use at the same time, even though it does get requested in the 7 years or so I have been paying attention. Of course, that shouldn't stop you from submitting the feature request, that's just my observation.
With regards to your specific situations of having a family catalog and a genealogy catalog, perhaps the workaround (and much preferred solution IMHO, which is another reason why I don't think Adobe will implement your suggestion) is to keep everything in a single catalog, with either tags or albums allowing you to segregate genealogy from family. Of course some photos might be in both; and then the problem of moving photos from catalog to catalog is eliminated.

What is new in Photoshop elements organizer

Are there any changes to the photoshop elements organizer from version 8 to 9

I agree. In some ways it is a real step backward. I would not recommend "upgrading" to
PSE9 based on one day of working with it. Lost the ability to see all files in folder view and it is
EXTREMELY SLOW.
I really wish I hadn't changed to PSE9 and converted my catalog, which it didn't fully convert properly.
Stay away from this upgrade!

Max files in Photoshop Elements Organizer

Hello,
I have few questions:
1/
Following this thread, I am wondering what is the limit of PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8 ?? How many pictures can we insert into ONE catalog ?
2/
I currently have 6000 pictures that I would like to import into PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8, from Adobe PhotoShop Album V1.
Is this possible ? I tried with the trial version, but I have an error when converting the .psa file from PhotoShop Album V1, asking me to try to consolidate or repair the file in the previous program (but it works well in PhotoShop Album V1).
Any idea ?
3/
Is the trial version the same than the paid one ? I mean: if I start using the trial, inserting tags and so on, should I uninstall it when buying the full version or could I just buy a serial number and inserting it to unlock the trial ?
Thanks a lot,
Kamayana

John,
You are just MARVELOUS !!!! That's awesome: your website, the informations listed in it, the work you do here on the forum !!
Wow !!! I will purchase this product just for your support. Can I pay you to obtain a support and pay you the software ? Lol
You replied to all my questions !
For 2/, I read before your FAQ (I thought it was Adobe FAQ, I did not pay attention to the URL), I tried it without success (excepted item 9/ which is not possible for me, since PhotoShop Album does not allow writing metadata to files, but maybe your small program can do it ?) ...
But since I do not give up like that, I done the following, you might add it to your FAQ ?
1/ I used the dichotomy method. I was sure that some files gave problems. So, my 6000 pictures have been separated into 6 albums (1000 each). Then, I run the converting tool on each one. All worked, excepted one. This one, I share into 500 pictures each. I run the tool on each one. One was OK, the other one fail. The one which fails has been separated in 250 pictures each... And so on. Until you see which pictures cause problems... In my case, it was some modified pictures (2 of them).
Then, I eliminate this 2 pictures from my initial 6000 catalog, I do the import again, and... SUCCESS !!
Hope it might help someone else.

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks. Crashes then ask if you want to reopen or not. Also when you are trying to manuver the page with your mouse things go crazy from a full page edit back to viewing all photos on the site and skipping around from picture to picture. Unsusable as it is today!

It is very critical to delete all preferences when you do a major OS X upgrade. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything pertaining to PSE. To see that library in 10.9, open a finder window, click your user account in the list on the left (the little house with your name), and then click the gear wheel at the top of the window and choose View Options. At the bottom of the list of checkboxes you'll see Library. Turn it on and then you can easily find the preferences folder.

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

Moving images from iPhoto 11 to Photoshop Elements Organizer

I understand that iPhoto 11 kept all images within the iPhoto Library. In order to move them into the Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer, they must be moved to the hard drive of the Mac and then imported into Elements 12 Organizer.
Is there any way to do this in one step?
Mary Lou

If you want to keep the photos organized by the Events they are currently in use this export setup:
If you want to keep the keywords, titles and descriptions added in iPhoto change Kind to JPEG and set JPEG Quality to Maximum and check both checkboxes.

Is Photoshop Elements organizer 9 compatible with the most current version?

I have a large photo collection organized with Photoshop Elements 9 organizer. I am hoping that i can import the album data file (tags, names, folders, etc.) into the newest Photoshop Elements organizer, version 13.
Thoughts or suggestions?
I would hate to have to re-label thousands of pictures.

Thank you!
I plan to purchase a new computer shortly and move all image files along with the Adobe album information/data file to the same directory on the new machine. I was hoping that when i was installing the new software, the old data file would be recognized and it would be upgraded/imported into the new PSE13 album.
I have over 6,000 carefully tagged photographs, and i don't want to re-tag photos.

Lightroom vs Photoshop Elements Organizer

I don't know Lightroom, but a friend suggested it as a solution to my problem, so here goes:
I have a subscription to CC (and have used Creative Suite for years). I use CC at work, but for my personal, non-work photos, I have always used Photoshop Elements Organizer, because I have never found its equal -- as an organizer. Also, I have invested a massive amount of effort into tagging every photo (about 30,000 images, more than 10 years' worth) with keywords.
I have no interest in Photoshop Elements' other features. I have CC for anything that PSE does that I care to do.
However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
So here's the question: Can I use Lightroom (or Bridge, perhaps) as a substitute for PSE Organizer? Does either program import PSE Organizer's catalogs? Because unless I can import what I've got, no other organizer will do it for me.
I'd also consider another organizer product if it could import PSE catalogs, but I'm hoping there's a little gem of a program already in CC that I'm not aware of that will do the trick.
TIA.

I don't use the face recognition tags in PSE, but I think that those will not transfer to Lightroom, as there is no way to accomodate face recognition tags in Lightroom.
Earlier you said
However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
so why keep paying for PSE upgrades? There are rarely any new "organizing" features in PSE. Just keep using the version you have, you can probably use it for many years until your operating system won't support older versions of PSE. My PSE 5 still runs under Windows 7 and I have heard that PSE 5 runs under Windows 8.

Need some help with Photoshop Elements Organizer

I have had this program for awhile now, but have not had a lot of time to spend with it....also on a new Mac.
I am trying to work with the Organizer. First time I tried to import photos from IPhoto, it said there was no media to import....(I have a lot of pictures here). I did some reading of the forums and determined that it might be a bug so I downloaded the update 9.0.3. Now I am getting an error tht says Photoshop Elements Organizer is attempting to import photos from a default folder. If I check OK, it begins to import all of my photos.
Any help on this problem would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Frustrated

The import is working fine. This is a warning message telling you that it is going to import photos and videos from the default folder of your system. Just to inform you about the action it is about to take.
In case you find it not working, you can log a bug to Adobe at:

Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 will not read in Canon 70D raw files. All updates have been made.

The Canon EOS 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 (the plugin used by Photoshop Elements to read Raw files)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Camera Raw 8.2 is only compatible with Elements 12 and later. It is not compatible with Elements 11 or earlier.

Your choices:
Upgrade to Elements 12 to open 70D Raw files in Elements
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 70D Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNG files in Elements 9

I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac. I want to divide some of those clips in Organizer. I can do that in Premiere Elements 12 and save them as "Projects" - but how do I get the divided clips back into Organizer?

I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac. I want to divide some of those single clips into 2 or 3 separate clips, each shown separately in Organizer. I can divide the clips in Premiere Elements Editor 12 and save them as "Projects" - but I can't find any way to get those divided clips back into Organizer. Does anyone know whether that can be done? Many thanks for your thoughts.

What about Google Drive? And just share the folder with the family members.
