Photoshop Elements 8 File Browser

Please help me. I really need the file browser as it was in earlier editions. I work all the time with this. Is there a way of finding it, without using Organiser?
I need the folder tree from my computer.
Thank you.
Alison

I am using PC and use Windows 7.
I hate the organiser folder view.
Thank you so much for answering. Can I use Elements 2 on Windows 7?

Installing photoshop elements associated/changed all files on computer to photoshop elements files

I purchased Photoshop Elements for my mother while home during Thanksgiving. When I installed it on her computer, it changed all the files on her computer to photoshop Elements files, or rather, it associated all files to photoshop elements. I am sure this is an operating system issue. Can someone tell me why this is happening and give me a cure? She uses Windows 7. It is a 64 bit machine if that is important.
Thank you for any advice.
Andy

Raw adjustments made in Photoshop CS file browser are not transferring to Lightroom 4.

I have thousands of images all on external hard drives with raw adjustments made in Photoshop CS file browser. When I import these raw files from the external drive into Lightroom 4 the original raw adjustments are not transferring or at least the preview of those adjustments are not showing up the way they do in file browser. Why? Please help.

Hi JGJenson,
Were the images already imported into iPhoto when you edited them in PS?
If they were then in order for the edit to be reflected within iPhoto you have to save with the same name.
So you need to navigate the iPhoto Library in the Finder and drag out the images that you saved back into the library with the different names. Drag them to the desktop, then import them from there.
If you are using PS as an external editor that you set up within iPhoto's preferences then the images must be saved with the same name and be flattened for the edits to be reflected within iPhoto.
If you want to save them with a different name, they must not be saved into the iPhoto Library. They need to be saved to the desktop and then imported into iPhoto.

Photoshop Album to Photoshop elements File size issue

I have used album v2 for a few years, and only import proxy files from off-line media (CD/DVD) to keep the backup file small which makes it easier to keep 2 computers on the same page..(15000 image files = 6GB) I make a backup to a portable drive monthly, and restore to 2nd pc.. etc
I have converted the catalogue into elements 9 succesfully, and it correctly points to the relevent discs if I need the full res files.
My question is.. Can I do this sort of import in Photoshop Elements 9? In album there was a check box for keeping the files off-line during import and to name the disc for reference , but I cant see this in elements... Perhaps I am missing something obvious..
Looking through the dialoge boxes, I wonder if you import the full res file, then move/copy to disc leaving behind the proxy...
I am on the trial, and dont want to buy if its not what I want..
Apologies if this topic is listed elsewhere.. I have looked, but cant find one..
Thanks for any pointers,

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today. It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10. I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

Photoshop Elements file info font size

The text size in Photoshop elements is rather small. By Text I mean the font size for commands. I can live with it most of the time but when adding text to the File Info field I find it very hard to read and check spellling. Is there any way to increase font size or magnify what one sees. For example in Windows, Control Panel, Display I can adjust the display font size but that seems to have no effect in PE. Any ideas?

Yes, even if you set the UI font size to 200%, that has no effect on the font size of the Information dialog in the editor.
My suggestion is to use the Organizer to input your information. I have set the font size in Windows (not in Elements) to 125% for my 1920 x 1200 24" display.
It's comfortable to input file properties in the Information panel on the right. For the IPTC data, click on the icon with three dots to open the IPTC dialog.

Old photoshop elements files?

I am using photoshop elements 10, I have old files from previous versions of photoshop elements. Can I delete these old files without effecting my current version of photoshop elements 10?

All versions of PSE point to the same images on your hard drive or external drive; so it really makes no difference.

Photoshop elements inspiration browser update

I am unable to install the update for Photoshop Elements 10 Inspiration Browser. I followed the directions on the tutorials. I uninstalled the browser from my programs, restarted the computer, and tried to install the update. Every time I was connected to the link, the directions said to click on the install now button, but there is no button. Please help as PE keeps crashing.

For transfer to a new PC, use the back-up and restore procedure starting in the Organizer on the old PC.

Massive ASL photoshop elements files 25gb each, appeared overnight

Hello
Quick question if I may.
I have Photoshop elements on my mac (running leopard) and its created 3 enormous ASL style files - in excess of 25gb each file.
I've no idea where these have come from - they were created in the past few days.
Does anyone know what they are and where they have come from?
I've trashed them but am just intrigued as to how my machine has filled 80gb of disk space by itself.
Thanks

OK, I know it is confusing, but they are log files created by the asl manager, new in 10.5.6 (and the quirks and bugs that came with this is why I'm still running 10.5.5 on my working drive). Because they have the ".asl" manager extension, and you have Photoshop Elements installed, which proclaims that one its file types is ".asl" the Finder claps the appropriate Photoshop icon on the files. And if you double click the file, Elements will actually launch, and then make an announcement or two about the files not being correct. But they are not in fact Elements files, they are a new sort of log file.
You can safely trash them. You may be able to catch the culprit that is creating them in the act by launching Console, click the icon in the toolbar to Show Logs, and click on the All Messages, and see if you can spot something writing constant error messages. You might be able to read the new ones in the Log Files->/var/log section (I'm running 10.5.5 right now, so can't check). The problem can be the aslmanager itself. Do a search here in the Leopard forum on aslmanager for more information.

IPhoto files vs. Photoshop Elements files

I am confused by what appears to be two different but related filing systems in these two programs. When I open PSE and browse it goes to date files, (e.g. johnhendrie>pictures>iphotolibrary>2005>11>29>filename). When in iPhoto the same file exists in Library with aliases in any of the folders where I have put it. In iPhoto I see no johnhendrie>pictures>iphotolibrary>2005>11>29>filename. This makes it difficult to find specific photos when working in PSE.
What is the difference between the two methods? I also think, but have not confirmed, that deleting a file from the iPhoto Library does not delete it from the PSE tabulation.
Enlightening comments will be very appreciated

Hi John,
The iPhoto Library folder in the Finder is organized differently from what you see within iPhoto.
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.
You should set up PS Elements as the external editor within iPhoto Preferences. You can then double click an image in iPhoto and it will open in PS Elements. When saving the image with PS Elements make sure the file is flattened and save with the same name. Make sure you do a "Save" and not a "save as".
Deleting a file from within iPhoto will not delete it from the HD until iPhotos trash is emptied.

Moving Photoshop Elements & files from Windows XP to 8.1

After a major upgrade of my pc I temporarily have PSE (10) on a drive running on an XP platform, with all my photos on a separate "data-drive".
Question: How can I best make programme and files work together on my new Win8.1-platform/drive without loss of data? In short: Where do I start, and how do I proceed? Can I simply install PSE on my 8.1 drive and then connect it to my PSE catalog, and if so: how?

If your media files are already on an external drive, the question is where is your catalog? It can be on the default location on your internal drive, or it can be in the external drive if you have already moved it there.
In the last case, you simply plug in your external drive to the Win8 PC, install PSE10, and from the organizer you use the catalog manager to browse to the custom location of your catalog : the folder containing the catalog.pse10db file. You can also double click on that file to open the organizer with your catalog.
If you have PSE11 or 12, you'll have to use the organizer menu to convert the catalog to the new format.
If you are in the usual default location of your catalog in the old internal drive, locate it via the menu Help / System info. Copy the whole folder containing the catalog to the external drive, just under the root letter, not inside a folder containing your image files. Once you have copied it, see above.
Of course, doing a full backup is always a good idea.
Note that when you have recovered the catalog in the new PC, the catalog and images are shared between both PCs. Both can access your catalog. If you are not interested to share your catalog, you might prefer to move or copy the catalog back to the default location on the internal drive of your new PC. You'll have more speed. The organizer catalog manager has the option to move the catalog back to the default location.

Cannot install update to Photoshop Elements Inspiration Browser

I followed the instructions for removing the program on my computer but when I go to install the update I keep getting download error and try again,,,,,,,,,,,??????

Hi,
Please help me understand a little more about this one here. Did you uninstall the application/PSE? Where are you trying to install updates from then if you've already uninstalled the appliation? Did you install it post cleaning/removing the program as you mentioned above?
Also, please post the error msg/screenshot. I might ask you for the logs (; i'd tell you where they're located) but before that I just want to understand what error so that I can request you for the appropriate logs.
thanks.

Transferring Photoshop Elements 11 files to a different computer

My son recently bought Photoshop Elements 11 and installed it on his computer. I would like to transfer my catalog of pictures to him and have it look just like it does on my computer with Album titles, keywords, etc. When we tried to do this by using a backup of my Photoshop Element files, it transferred the pictures and keywords but not the album titles or album organization. Also, the keywords were not in the same keyword categories that I had set up on my computer. Is it possible to do what I want, or do the pictures have to all be reorganized and put into albums again on his computer?

If you used the organizer's backup command (not another form of backing up) and then did a restore (not just a copy) to the new computer, you should have everything you had on the old one.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and 'Save for Web' problem

Hi everyone,
I have used Photoshop Elements 2 for some time with absolutely no problems. However when I try to use the save for the web option I get an 'export could not be completed due to a program error' message.
Nothing relevant is mentioned on Adobe's support site. After having gone through the usual 9 troubleshooting procedure I suspect that there is a problem with the 'Save for Web EL' plugin located in the PE 2 plugins folder. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way I can somehow find a functional plugin?
Thank you for reading this post.

I don't use Photoshop elements myself, but from Photoshop CS it works fine. I use JPG compression and optimization. First of all - make sure the file format extensions are all available. Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/file formats AND ALSO Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/photoshop elements only/file formats (here I am assuming the paths are the same or similar to Photoshop). Also, check the extensions disabled folder (Control click on Photoshop and go to package contents). If it's none of these, I suggest you check the settings in Elements when trying to save and make sure you are not using an option that conflicts.
Also, check the Adobe forum. http://www.adobeforums.com
Check for software upgrades also.
You do have enough hard drive space and RAM I assume. If you are using PS Elements and virtual memory is on, you may not have enough phsyical space to save the file (but not likely)
P.S. I see (after i wrote) that you are running 9.2.2 - so the paths will not be the same as if it was on OS X - but they will be similar.
