PhotoShop Elements 12 Organizer Import Failed message...

Hello! I'm trying to build my first catalog and keep getting an Import Failed on certain files. These are .jpg images and can be opend outsid eof PSE 12 just fine. I've looked at the image properties and they look fine (just as fine as images that are able to be imported). Is there anything that can be done? I'm trying to move off of Picasa and these images have been imported just fine into Picasa. Anything I can check on?
Thanks,
John

I have the same problem. I see from other websites that the date of the photos may be the problem but I can't figure it out. Same problem on my laptop so I know it is not the PC

Windown 8.1 Photoshop Elements 13-import failed???

I am having problems importing the pictures that i already have on my computer into Photoshop Elements-organizer. I add the folders I want to import and every time it goes through finding those pictures in the preview...but at the end I get the error "IMPORT FAILED".
I also get a message that says that 70 files are already in my catalog and are not supported. I have no idea what I can do to get this program to work. At this point, the program is useless if I can get my photos imported. Please help.
Thanks!

Photoshop Elements 10 Import Failed Error

I have installed Elements 10 and when I try to import my Photos I get a Import Failed Error. Any suggestions. PE 10 was working prior and I had to replace one of my drives and I did a clean install.
Any Ideas?
Windows 7 Ultimate

Yes, developing a new catalog worked in my case...
Why would this happen to a catalog?
Can I move them into the old catalog safely?
If so, how do I do that?
How do I move all the keyword tags into the new catalog?
Thanks!

I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements. I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos). A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags. I said yes, and the process began. When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."
I've since tried to open organizer several times, but it goes immediately to "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working". I was able to open Editor, and tried opening Organizer from Editor, but encountered the same problem.
FYI, I have an open case (#0214505556), but have not received the help I need.

This issue is with respect to Elements 13.

New to photoshop. Keep getting an "Import Failed" message

I'm trying to put videos from a Panisonic HDD video camera on to DVDs but keep getting an "Import Failed" message everytime I try. Why? What am I not doing?

I suspect that you wiil be using the Adobe Premiere Elements software for editing video in order to create that DVD of your video. There is a separate forum at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
I recommed that you post your video import question on that forum because that is where you will find people who use the video related functions of the Adobe Elements software.

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.

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:

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.

Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetic sort

I have been wanting to sort selections in Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetically by file name. Does the recently released Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer have that feature or does it still only sort by date?

PSE12 can sort alphabetically in all modes : thumbnail view, My Pictures, Pictures or albums.
In albums, when you open an album it automatically opens in album order sort, except if you have the timeline displayed.
When you add pictures to an album, the added batch is appended to the existing pictures in the order they are shown when you move them.
If you want to create a custom order mainly based on an existing sort (date, import batch, name, old custom order), simply create a new empty album and with the correct starting order, move all the items in your album to the new one. You can then move your pictures around in album (custom) order with less work.

Will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5

will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5?

See:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
I suppose you are using the organizer : you'll be able to recover your PSE5 catalogs either by a catalog conversion on the same computer or by the backup / restore process.
