Photoshop Elements 8.0 Organizer does not open

Have been using this program for sometime.  Today, under file, I thought I clicked the print photos option.  Then realized I did not want to do that just yet. Another menu had opened and without really looking, I clicked cance.  When I did, elements shut down.  When I tried to reopen, the welcome screen came up with the running bar at the bottom saying "Gathering User Info".  It never really seems to finish.  When I click on the organizer button, the program closes.  After a reboot, I was able to open the organizer by using the "All programs", Photoshop, and then the welcome screen came up with the running bar on the Organizer button as well as at the bottom.  Organizer opened.  I was able to complete my task.  Thought maybe there was an issue with the short cut.  So I closed the program.  Now, can not access Organizer from the short cut or the "All Programs" button.  Is there anything to try before I uninstall and reinstall? And if I need to do so, will my tags still be there when I reinstall?

Computer was off for few days r/t bad snow storm, power outage and work schdule.  When I booted back up, currently the organizer is working as it should.  Thanks, for reviewing this with me.

    When attempting to use Lightroom external editor program to edit a photo in Photoshop Elements 10, the photo does not open / appear on photoshop elements screen.  I don't have any problem with this when using Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop CS.  I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion OS.  Any solutions?

    Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Organizer does not launch.

So I opened the PHOTO EDITOR and tried to open organizer there... when I clicked on the ORGANIZER button it still would not launch. I am very frustrated! Please help!!!!

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor does not open.

    I needed to do a Win 7 System Restore, and now upon relaunching Photoshop 11, the Organizer will open, but Photo Editor will not open.

    Awesome, glad it's working!
    Your disc should not be corrupted and I am not sure why it wouldn't have worked. It is always possible that not deactivating caused problems, but I doubt it since you are installing to the same computer. The time you need to deactivate is if you move to a different computer.
    You're very welcome!

  • I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences

    I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my advaced preferences drop down, it used to be there, how do I get it back again?

    Hi, Yes you are correct in iPhoto Prefernces, Advanced tab editing I used to have iPhoto and "Use external editor.". It changed to iPhoto and iPhoto Library. I have einstaleed PSE 9 and downloaded the update.  There is still no lkink to external editor in the drop down box.  Have I done something wrong inadvertently or is there a clitch?  can you reinstal iPhoto.  I am new to Macs. Every thing came preinstalled.  it is the top of the range system with 16 Gb of rRAM, 2 Tb hard drive to top graphics card etc.  I used to be on Windows PC.  Have more than 27,000 photos on the system.  Much apprecite your reply and interest in this.

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

    I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

    I have changed from pc to mac and photoshop elements 2.0 disk does not install on mac

    Hi keltystu,
    You are doing 2 things wrong:
    1. you are trying to run EXE file(installer) on MAC
    2. You are trying to run a very old application on latest configuration which is not compatible and may not fulfill the appropriate requirement.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop Elements 13, photo EDITOR will not open.

    Purchased Photoshop Elements 13. Install seemed to work with no issues. Organizer opens with no issues. Editor does not open; when I click on Editor, the blue loading bar moves for about 6 seconds, then stops, and nothing opens.
    Any help would be nice... first time Photoshop buyer.

    Hi Sunier,
    I don't know if you solve your problem, but I solved mine...
    Editor would not open, I had to sign in,  then Accept the terms of the license and it would bring me back to the Welcome page where a had the choice of  ''Organizer or Editor''
    The problem was created bye Internet Explorer.  I had to go in Internet Options,   Connections,  LAN Settings and Remove the check at the bottom   ''Use proxy server for your lan''
    After that I restarted my program and It start working. I did notice that the check on ''Use proxy server for your lan'' comes back but do not affect my program to start after.   It was on the first time that I was
    trying to run the program after the install (what I mean, is I did not run photo shop before this install)
    Hope it can help you

  • I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge does not open.  Help?

    I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on MAC and Bridge does not open.  It did open when I first downloaded it - but now a black question mark is over the BR icon and it does not open up.  Any ideas from anyone? 

    Hi Steve -
    I just thought it was interesting and helpful to me to learn that the icon for Bridge does not appear anywhere.  Not in Application Folder.  Not in the Finders Directory Files.  I see your point - if I could locate that icon - I'd be set by dragging it onto my DOCK and launching it from there. 
    So - I'm assuming I need to uninstall CS6.   Please list all the steps for me to uninstall so that I don't miss any CS6 files. 
    When I search in FINDER for CS6 uninstall- I see two icons -  red adobe "UNINSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6" (both files are identical)  Under KIND they both say Alias - with two different dates they were last opened (in November - few minutes apart).  Is that what I use to uninstall completely all the files related to PS CS6 Extended as well as Bridge? 
    Do I need to DEACTIVATE ANYTHING ANYWHERE? 
    DOES ANYTHING NEED TO GO INTO TRASH. 
    I just want to make sure 'everything' related to CS6 Extended is off my computer and out of all the files.  In the event i want to re-install - naturally I don't want to run into any conflicting 'issues'.
    Do you think if I reinstall I will run into this same problem again (BR not launching)?  Is there anything I can do to prevent it?  I note on the forums - going a few years back - that there have been a lot of issues related to this same problem - even in other versions of the Creative Suite.  Is Adobe doing anything to rectify this problem for us Photoshop CS Suite lovers or is all their focus just going into CC? 
    Thank you so much for trying to help me resolve this issue.  It is very frustrating to have an Adobe product that is not completely functional.  Especially when the Creative Suites are so expensive.  I appreciate all the time you've put into this issue.

  • Elements 11 Organizer does not open

    Dear Sirs,
    I have bought PSE 11 but it doesn't work! Organizer doesn't open normally
    and the different solutions given by the community did not resolve my
    problem .
    I am desperate! What can I do more?
    Best regards

    I suspect it may have something to do with your monitor settings. Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% to 149% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
    Try a setting of 115% to 120% otherwise use 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality. If your height resolution is out of the range 768 to 800 try experimenting with the slider/settings.

  • Elements Organizer does not open. Should I just forget it and use Lightroom?

    I have Elements 11 and reciently instaled Lightroom 5. Elements Organizer no longer opens. Should I be concerned and just use the ghtroom Library?

    Lightroom is more powerful and robust than Organizer. So yes go ahead if you don't need people recognition.
    You can set up te PSE editor as your external editing app in LR preferences and then you can right-click on images in the Library and choose Edit in pse.
