Photoshop Elements 8 Organiser Advice please

Hi My 1st Post here and I hope its not a
daft 1 lol.
Ok I am very pleased with Elements 8 editor but cannot for the life of me get the organiser to work properly but having had a look around on here I think I may have found my answer but as I am unsure will ask the question anyway.
The organiser at best works intermittently. it takes an age to load up and then as soon as I try to do much with it I get the busy sign up. But here I think is the possible cause I shoot with a Canon 7D which is an 18mp Camera and I shoot RAW. So is that my Problem? If so I am dissapointed as the free google piccasa software shows me all my RAW files with a slight delay as it processes the image if I am viewing full size but has no problems showing all as thumbnails instantly.I would have thought an Adobe product under the Photoshop banner would have been superior ? The editor is light years ahead of anything else I have owned so it was money well spent but please oh please can I use the organiser as well? Or do I have to go back and find one?
Thanks for reading this

  • Updated to windows 8.1 now can't install Photoshop Elements 12, HELP PLEASE

    I am having such a terrible time getting Photoshop Elements 12 to install on my computer.  I've had Dell software support and Adobe support's help but they could only get to the point of JUST the editor being installed. The organizer and the ability to go online never gets installed.  After all the files are downloaded and the installation begins a box comes up and wants to uninstall the program.  I couldn't get past this part but the software tech got past it.  I have spent hours and days trying to get this installed.  I've been a big fan of Adobe products but this is the first time I haven't gotten the HELP I need.  It has to be a software issue because i've downloaded other programs with no problems.  I even went out and brought an external cd/dvd burner and tried installing from the hard cd only to have the same problem pop up.  If it helps, I got the Windows 8.1 update maybe this is the problem. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

    Hi @gsh987  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and the brightness control on Windows 8.1 not working correctly after an update. I would uninstall all the display adapters that are in the device manager and restart the Notebook. Check to see if if it put an adapter back in , right click on the driver and update.
    If that does not help I would uninstall the Graphics drivers restart the Notebook and it should reinstall the correct driver for you.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • How to move photos to external harddrive with Photoshop Elements Organiser 9 - Mac user

    I have managed to move a few photos using the organiser to an external harddrive as a trial but noticed that the photos are all stored straight onto the external harddrive and not kept in the subfolders that they are in on my harddrive. Is there a way to keep them in the subfolders - which is basically mostly folders indicating the date they were taken?
    I also noticed that PSE 9 organiser is very slow - I have a lot of photos and a lot in raw - about 21000. Is it better to use LR to catalogue them?
    Last question, has anyone else experienced problems since upgrading to Mavericks when using PSE9? Is there a fix? I read that upgrading to Yosemite has improved how PSE9 works but after my previous experience with upgrading to Mavericks I am not in a rush to upgrade.
    Thanks

  • I can't open Photoshop Elements 8 (Editor) Please Help

    Hello,
    I am new here and I am hoping I can get someone to help me out.
    I've recently Downloaded Photoshop Elements 8 (trial) for my Brand New Computer (I use Windows 7)
    in hopes of purchasing it after learning the program a little bit, well I'm glad I haven't purchased it yet since I've run into a problem
    I cannot get Photoshop Elements Editor to open, I can however use the organizer.
    I have already tried the following things in hopes of fixing this problem
    Uninstal-Reinstal
    Services, Flexnet and made sure it was on
    Pushed Control Alt and Shift and clicked on the editor button
    all with no luck.
    I'm really hoping someone has had this problem before and can help me out, I was really looking forward to using this program since I also own Photoshop Elements 6 and the same thing happend (I found out it is not compatible and have since uninstalled it)
    Thank you so much for your help
    Micheline

    I am having the same issue exactly.  Could someone please help?  I'm quite frustrated.  I just got a new computer and couldn't wait to try out PhotoShop on it.

  • How many computers can you use one copy of Photoshop Elements 11 on please?

    I intend to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for my two student children.  Could you tell me if they will both be able to install in on their respective computers?

  • Unwanted folders in Photoshop Elements Organiser

    I've recently started using Photoshop Elements 13 on a new Windows 8.1 Laptop.
    I've started bringing some folders into the Organizer and have had some unwanted ones turn up...
    The unwanted folders have names like festive, confetti and album_16x9_c71ff90be.....  and they all appear to have a single music file in them and be located in the slideshow > themes > assets subfolder of Adobe. Given this folder isn't within the Pictures folder I've set Adobe to look at I don't how the folders have ended up in my Organizer.
    So, I'm seeking assistance to:
    - delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do; and
    - work out how they ended up there so I can make sure it doesn't happen again.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    - delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do;
    Have you tried going to Watch Folders options and then delete from there?  See this picture:
    To get to this screen, Launch the Organizer and then Go to:
    File >> Files folders  (this 5th item from the bottom)
    Good luck.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 problem - please help

    hi.  can i download an older version of photoshop elements on my computer without a disk.  i have photoshop elements 6.  my computer had to be totally cleaned and i lost my photoshop and i want to be able to load it again.  i have the original package that has case with serial numbers but the disk is all scratched up and is unreadable.  i really don't want to buy program again if i don't have to.  any help is great.

    Unfortunately even if there were a download it wouldn't help you, since back then disc versions and downloads had mutually incompatible serial numbers. You would need to find another disc to copy to something like a thumb drive on a computer with an optical drive, then copy the files to your desktop to run the installation.

  • Cannot edit lightroom 2 photo in photoshop elements 9, help please.

    I am using OS 10.6.5. I have Lightroom 2.7 installed and I just purchased Photoshop Elements 9. I am trying to edit my Lightroom photos in Elements by going to the menu, selecting photos and then the Edit In, but I am not able to select any of the options as they are grayed out. I have uninstalled and re-installed both programs and that has not helped. Any suggestions?  Let me know if more info is needed.
    Thanks,

  • Lightsaber effect in Photoshop Elements 4.0- Please give some help

    Hi,
    I am very new to photo editing. I've been asked by my young cousins to photoshop in the lightsaber effect to some still photos. All I have is photoshop elements 4.0, and all the tutorials I find are in different editions.
    So far, I created the additional screen layer, used the lasso tool to isolate the rod, filled in white. Added additional layers as described and added the different gausian blur layers too. However unlike other versions there is no way I can see to change the colors of the "outer glow" in my version.
    Should I leave the first layer white, making the core, then make the additional copied layers the color I want with the blur?
    Also can someone tell me how do I round off the tip of the blade?
    I am sorry as this must be a pretty annoying issue to have to explain to every new user, but I promised the guys I'd do it and don't want to let them down.

    I used a tutorial online for a different version of photoshop.
    I created a new layer, as a screen with the option to fill in background with black, and used the lasso tool to isolate the rod and filled it in white.
    Then I created 3 duplicate layers of this layer.
    I then gave the core layer a gaussian blur of about 5
    then first copied layer a blur of 10
    next layer a blur of 20
    and finally a blur of 30 all as instructed by the tutorial.
    The creates a great looking white saber, but then the tutorial has an option to color the outer glow. My version does not.
    As of last night I was able to use the "color variations" option and select increase blue for the midtones and some highlight. Its not as precise as I would like and I've getting fairly ok results each time, but this method is really trial and error.
    I will look into using the hue/sat choice tonight, but when i selcted that last night, it changed the hue of the whole image and not just the outer glow layers.
    I'll post a pic of the work so far from my home computer tonight.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 advice needed please

    Hello!
    I received PSE8 for Christmas and have Never used one of these programs before!  I noticed it does not come with a manual of any sort and did find a few books on amazon and was wondering if any of you "experienced" users could recommend one to me!
    Was looking at either the "Dummies" book for PSE8 or the "Missing Manual" series.
    Any advice is appreciated!  I learn quick but need good clean explanations!
    Thanks!
    Carrie

    I used PE The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage when I started out with an earlier version of the program. The chapters are well written and illustrated. It is a quality product and should serve you well. Barbara moderates this board and is generous with her advice. I have no commercial connection with the author or with the publisher.

  • Photoshop elements organiser

    Can't open the editor from the organiser in elements 12 I get a message saying could not load fast core routines module and MMXcore routines module also multi processer support module in this version of photoshop. Can anyone explain what they are and how to rectify it.

    Hello,
    I have looked at similar items on the forum and one suggestion there has worked . This was to open Organiser with the shift key pressed. This brings up the catalog manager, I then made a new catalog and added some pictures: BINGO everything back to normal. I assume that I must have lost or corrupted the original catalog,

  • My photoshop elements organiser does not respond. I have tried reinstalling elements without success

    I am using Windows 8 and this problem has happened recently. The problem occurs whether I choose "EDIT" and try to click on "ORGANISER" or go directly to the Organiser. Any suggestions please, I am using Elements 9.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 HELP PLEASE

    I have never been so frustrated with an Adobe product in my life. I just "upgraded" from Elements 10 to Elements 12- and I use the term "Upgraded" loosely, because quite frankly I can't get 12 to do Anything that I want to.
    1. How do you pin the toolbars (tool options) and taskbars to the TOP of the editor like they were in Elements 10? Having the items on the bottom is a nightmare and I have to keep constantly scrolling to find what I need instead of just clicking and using it.
    2. Why are the photos so pixelated and grainy looking? I have 6-12 mb photos that look like they're 50kb photos that have been blown up to 8x10 size. How is someone supposed to edit or add to a photo when it looks so grainy to begin with at 25-60%? If you reduce a large photo to 15% you can't even tell what it's supposed to be! It's as though it's trying to resize the image to display it for web instead of showing the actual pixel size, etc. How do I fix this, the other versions of photoshop did not ruin photos like this . . .
    For example- load a photo- it looks like hell, it's all grainy and pixelated. If you click on "Add glow" it will take the same photo and remove the pixelation and display in 4x6 or 8x10 size, etc and be clear as a bell. Why does it pixelate the dang photos- I am so completely frustrated with this, adobe 10 does NOT ruin photos like this when you're trying to edit them!!!
    If you choose "Fit screen" you cannot edit the photo because you can't tell what the item really looks like. You have to literally save it, open it with a different program altogether and then look to see whether it needs more edits.
    3. How do you add text in a custom shape?
    4. How do you change the transparency of a custom shape?
    5. Can you change the color of the background of Elements 12? Right now it is a putrid Gray color that washes out the colors of the photos and is extremely distracting when trying to edit photos.
    Thanks in advance, I am so ready to pack up this program and ship it back right at the moment!!!

    Further to Barbara's comments:
    2. There have been a few posts about the initial preview. Apparently the algorithm was changed in PSE11 from Bicubic Sharper to plain Bicubic (which is faster). The workaround was to change display view to 100%. Any subsequent changes to the view then display properly. There was also some suggestion that the initial preview was based on a thumbnail - but there seemed to be some disagreement as to whether that was correct or not. Note though that displaying at anything other than 100% is going to be scaled and not representative of your true pixels.
    5. I think the background colour change may be Mac specific. It doesn't work for me in Windows 7.
    Cheers,
    Neale
