Photoshop Elements 12 Back-up Freezing on Catalog Size Calculation

My Photoshop Elements 12 reminds me that, given number of new images added, catalog should be backed-up. At point in steps where file size being calculated (for both a full or incremental back-up) the percentage reported reaches 56% then stops. System has been left calculating over-night and percentage never passed 56%. Consequently, I am unable to back-up my catalog.

Try to delete Preferences: Try to launch Editor and keep pressing - ‘Ctrl+Alt+Shift’. It will show an option to delete preferences and then try to relaunch again.
If it doesn't work try the suggestions mentioned on the below blog post

How do I get photoshop elements 8 back after it disappeared from my computer.
What do you mean by "disappeared"?
What were you doing? Any error messages? Can you open the program? Editor? Organizer? Have you installed other programs recently? Do other programs work? Windows or Mac? Are you running an antivirus program?

Steveb79898551 if Photoshop Elements 9 is already installed then what happens when you open it from the Applications folder?
Did you migrate/transfer/copy your installation of Photoshop Elements 9 to this new iMac?

Photoshop Elements Organizer 10 backup freezes at 49%.

I have a large collection (~80,000) photos. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) for a week to back up my collection. Every time it freezes at 49%. I did all the steps here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-catalog-backup-conversion-elemen ts.html Still freezing. Then I did a complete disk scan/repair and tried all the steps again. Still freezing. I am running Windows 7 on a powerful machine.
I want to move my collection to a new hard drive, so I really do need to use the bulit in backup. What else can I try?

I was able to do the backup of just the photos, what can I try with the videos?
That's very good news.
Here are a few ideas :
- from your original catalog, create a copy leaving only the video media types just like what you have done with photo files.
- generally offending video file types are not with 'common' video formats, rather with cell phone formats.
- There may be 'corrupted' files, but non recognized formats are probably more common
-To have a look at the different formats (file extensions), look at the total number of video files and take a note of it. Use the search by file name, 'files containing' and select a file extension visible in the browsing space (avi, mov...). Take a note of the number of files in each category.
For each category, select all and hide the files. Continue with the next category and so on until nothing is visible.
You'll have all your files extensions with the number of files in each category.
Now, un-hide all files and make a second copy of your video catalog.
Try a backup of the video files after having deleted one of the categories. I would start with the less common video formats.
Try this until the backup works ok : you'll know the offending format.
A variant of this method would be to select the videos by camera type rather than by format type.
Something you could do with the video catalog until you have found the offending format or corrupted file(s) : you could try move (from the organizer menu) all the video files somewhere on a new empty master folder as a standard (non PSE backup). You might get significant messages in the process. Be aware that this 'move' may be impossible to 'undo' in case of a problem. A safer variant would be to 'export' instead of 'move'.

Photoshop Elements 7.0 Organizer freezes upon opening

I am so very frustrated. I have been using this program for onver a year. I recently started experiencing this problem. When I import photos fro a folder, the organizer shows "generating thumbnails" then freezes. I cannot use the organizer at all. I have to use my task manager to shut down the program. I thought I;d solved the problem as I uninstalled the programand then reinstalled it. It worked ok for a week or so, but then I had to import mor photos to work with and once again I am back to zero. I am using Windows XP and have 1.0 GB of ram...and 1.81ghz...my laptop has less GHz and works fine with PSE so I dont get it? This is the same syatem I've been using all; along and now I have an issue. Can anyone PLEASE help??

Try deleting the thumbnail cache, which may be corrupt, as described in step 5 of this FAQ:

How do I save a photo exported from iPhoto and edited in Photoshop Elements 6 back to iPhoto?

My photos are downloaded to my iMac iPhoto 09. I am able to export directly to Photoshop Elements '06 to edit but when I try to export the edited photo back to iPhoto it goes to Pictures, not to iPhoto where I want it to go. Any suggestions?

Did you really export it or did you set PSE as your external editor? If you used file>export in iphoto, then you must import the edited photo back to iphoto as a new file.
To avoid that you can set PSE as your external editor in the iphoto preferences, and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, but you must not change the name or format of the image when saving. If you see the save as window it won't work. You may need to go to the PSE preferences>saving files and set On First Save to save over existing to avoid seeing the save as window. It will not work with raw files.

Why does photoshop elements 10 back up files in xml format

I am trying to backup my catalog including tags to my external hard drive. When I do the files are all in XML format. When I attempt to open using Photoshop
i get "wrong type of file" or they are just a lot of code. What is going on. Where are the pictures?

I downloaded them into the same folder, and once that was done, I did as you said and opened PhotoshopElements_10_LS15.exe. It asked for my serial number and everything, seemed as though it was installing, and asked to restart in order to complete the process. I restarted the computer, and...I don't see Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 anywhere. There is a folder on my desktop that goes by the name of Photoshop Elements 10, but it only contains data files and things that I can't use. It's not the actual software....
What should I do?

Importing from Photoshop Elements 6 back into iPhoto 11

I don't want to whine about all the frustrations I've had trying to get used to iPhoto 11, but this one totally baffles and frustrates me and I would be glad for any help. I install all my pictures in iPhoto - I drag pictures to PS to edit, and I used to be able to drag from Elements back into iPhoto - the edited picture would be imported and voilà. Now I get a message telling me the picture is already in iPhoto, and it will not import it. I've change the photo name, and it still isn't happy. So far the only way I've been able to get around it is to save the picture into the documents folder and then reimport. I like the editing factor in Photoshop, I have (past tense) liked the simplicity and simple organization and editing of iPhoto... I hope to not have to move to Photoshop for everything. Help?! Thank you!!

Maybe this will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.

Photoshop Elements 2.0 downloads freezes the program

When I open Photoshop Elements it starts to download new files and then the Photoshop program freezes. I am able to use all the other programs but I can not use Photoshop and I am unable to close the program or opt out of downloads.
Can anyone tell me what can I do so I am able to use this program short of unplugging the internet? If this little photoshop is incompatable with Apple or Mac OS X is there an Apple program that is comparable to Photoshop?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Actually, you do want to start by "unplugging the internet." Quit PE, take the computer totally offline, restart PE and then go to preferences>Adobe Online and set Check for Updates to Never. There never were any, never will be any now that the program is up to version 5. It's the update checker that makes it hang.

Photoshop elements 5 batch process freeze program

Starting a batch process in adobe photoshop elements 5 (auto colour, reducing picture size, saving the changed picture in the same directory but with additional extension to the filename) the program starts to open the first picture and then it is freezing. So far as I can see all other functions a working properly.
Can some one help me.
Reiner

try with just 1 image and see. Also make settings one by one i.e. in the incremental fashion. Also please explain if there is any specific meaning of "but with additional extension to the filename..".

Photoshop Elements 10 - How to review the 100% size

this is the first time i use photoshop elements 10.
i am just confused when i need to review photos one by one,
no matter how big the size is ,the photo will show the size which is fit the screen.
i wanna know how to review the picture in 100% size.

If your talking about in the organizer, you can go to the fullscreen options and uncheck Allow Photos to Resize, but if the photo is bigger than will fit on the screen at 100% you'll have to either use the scroll wheel
or click inside the photo to see it at 100% view.
