For my catalog of 48,000 items, the thumb.5.cache is 1,217,976 KB... and I have no speed problem. So that seems normal.
Are you having speed problems ? Which PSE version ?
What is indicated when you look at the menu Help / System info ?
Do you use face detection, autoanalysis ?

  • Elements 10 organizer is very slow. Exif-file modification.

    Slow Elements organizer
    Problem 1: My elements organiser is slow! Very very slow!???
    Problem two:  Why Elements 10 organizer wipes off some data from exif-file, f.e. longitude reference (east or west). It is doing that for my exif-files each time I editing jpg-image. If I start editing with Element 10 editor from Picasa-organizer, then longitude references stays untouchable.
    Please advice!
    Regards
    Reino Almarsund

    The second problem is not yet answered: Why PS elements modifies exif-file. In my case posission data longitude referense?

  • Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer catalog conversion

    I'm having trouble converting Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer.  I get a Conversion Failed error which tells me to repair with the program that created it.  I have tried several things including deleting all .avi files from the catalog, deleting references to missing files and backing up then trying to convert from an external HD.  I'm running Vista Home Premium on a HP laptop.  The Organizer optimize and repair don't seem to help in this case.
    Does anyone have any history with this or advice?

    Please refer to following KB article which deals with catalog conversion failures:-

  • Photoshop Elements 11 organizer stops working after about 15 minutes with windows 7??

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed preferences, removed preferences, added administrator priviledges with full control to several screens, turned over my screen to Dipanjan, Adobe Rep and still does exactly the same thing. Very frustrating! Anyone else getting this windows pop up screen " Photoshop Elements 11 organizer has stopped working" ?
    If I don't resolve this soon, I'm going back to PSE 10 and I guess I'll just have to eat the money wasted on it.
    Finally resolution!
    Three separate days totaling about 8-10 hours of chat then another 3 or more hours in chat about this issue today with 3 different people. Finally got to Vijay, who said to:
    click on edit in the organizer,
    go to preferences,
    click on media anaylsis,
    uncheck all the boxes.
    That did it!!! Less than two minutes, done!  No more problems. I can't imagine how much of Adobe's and my time and productivity was wasted going through all the laborious steps, often times repeating the same procedures when I got some one new, only to start all over again. 
    Many thanks Vijay. You suceeded where so many others failed!
    I sincerely hope if anyone else suffers this dilemma, this will instantly resolve it for you and avoid the extreme frustration and agony I went through.
    Cheers!

    Ernie, it shouldn't be required. This is a scientific process, a test to find the origin of the issue. If there is something wrong with the catalog, we can try to repair it, but the fact is there are many possible causes to such behavior and we have to start somewhere. Here is a more complete list of the steps you can take to counter this kind of issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-photoshop. html
    Is everyone here getting a blue screen from the OS? If so, there are much greater problems at hand than it is possible for an application on your computer to cause. Blue Screen errors are caused by hardware issues. Sometimes it is physically faulty parts, but most of the time it is some sort of driver conflict (generally just an old version that needs to be updated). Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for major hardware components, such as your video card. DO NOT rely on your OS to get the current versions of the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website and download them directly.

    I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
    PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
    Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
    Yes
    And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
    Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
    There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
    Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
    PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
    -- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
    I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

  • Option to Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog not available (LR5, PSE 12, Win 8)

    Hi there. I have trial versions of both Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.2 (trial licenses are both still active (i.e. not expired)). I'm looking to import my PSE12 catalog into Lightroom before I plunk down the money to buy it.
    I cannot, however, locate the "File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog" option in LR5.
    I may have originally installed LR 5 before installing PSE 12. So I uninstalled LR5 and reinstalled it. Still no luck - the option isn't there.
    Any other ways to force LR5 to look for the PSE 12 catalog? Will LR5 even recognize a PSE12 catalog?
    Your help is greatly appreciated - thanks!
    Note: Using Win 8.1

    ...But we can also wait and see report from other users.
    Unfortunately, there is no doubt that the conversion of PSE12 catalogs has been omitted. It's not the first time : I also had to wait for LR4 to be able to convert PSE11 files. We may hope that Adobe will acknowledge the fact, and possibly solve the problem for future versions of PSE.
    Of course, it's not a priority for Adobe: the ability to convert PSE catalogs is mainly a sales argument to make the jump from the PSE Organizer to LR easier. Not so many cases, and anyway you can always write metadata to files in PSE and import later in LR. After the jump to LR, you rarely have more PSE catalogs to convert.
    However, maintaining misleading update notes by Adobe is not a good point in favour of LR. I do consider that the ability for LR to convert PSE catalog was and still is a very smart demonstration of the ability to deal with database organizational systems. I also consider that once that conversion process is mastered, the update process for each new Elements version is not such a big deal.

  • Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog option is missing

    The File Menu/Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog is missing on my version of LR5.  I've followed the suggested procedure to update the preferences files for both Elements 12 and Lightroom 5, but LR5 still does not recognize that I have an existing Elements 12 catalog.  I assume if it did the option would now be available?
    This was the instruction I tried:

  • 'Upgrade Photoshop Elements catalog' menu item missing

    Hi,
    I have been using PSE for many years and recently upgraded to PSE8 (and PRE8). In addition, I started playing with the LR3 Beta and realized that I wanted to migrate LR from PSE. I just bought LR3 and now want to import my PSE8 catalog into LR3. The Lightroom Help tells me that I should go to File - Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog (while in Library module), but this menu item is not showing up in my Lightroom... Is my LR3 not detecting my PSE8 catalog installation? How can I fix this?
    Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

  • View Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog with iPad?

    I have 43K images in my Adobe Photoshop Premier v10 catalog...all of which have been organized into Albums (by year), rated (0-5 stars), and tagged with multiple keywords.
    My Q is this:  is there an iPhone/iPad app which can connect to my NAS server or laptop and understand this Adobe Photoshop Elements cataloging for displaying images??
    I want to know how my iPhone/iPad can become a device to showcase my images, and would love to show "all photos of Dad", or "Xmas 2012 album", etc...
    Thoughts?
    Thanks
    Mike

    No. If you use windows you can send PSE albums to your ipad via itunes, but there isn't an app that can understand an organizer catalog per se.

  • Help with Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer

    I need some help with my new Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer.
    I have not had previous versions of Photoshop, this was a brand new installation.  I had previously used Kodak software which came with my camera to organize and edit pictures.
    My PC is approximately 6 years old.  I have a 2.2 ghz processor and 1.5 GB of RAM.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
    The software seemed to install just fine.  I then imported some pictures from my Kodak folders into the Photoshop Organizer.  After importing pictures I then received the following error message:
    'Elements 9 Organizer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
    If I remove the pictures from the catalog, I no longer get the error message.  As soon as I import any pictures, however, I get the error and the software closes.  When I reopen the organizer I get the same error after after about 15 seconds
    I have tried the following:
    uninstalled an re-installed twice
    turned off the automatic backup to photoshop.com
    I did come across thread 769749 (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/769749) that offered some advice.  Based on that, I optimized my catalog (which was empty), repaired my catalog (which was empty).  I also created a new catalog and removed the existing (empty) catalog.
    All of these efforts have not worked.  Each time I try something, as soon as I import any pictures into the catalog, I get 'Elements 9 Organizer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
    This is brand new software that I am unable to use.
    Adobe, please help.

    Answers to following queries would help-
    * Are you able to import images into Organizer from folder other than your Kodak folders?
    * Is your problem happening for importing from a specific set of folders only?
    * Is your problematic folder having any video files in it which you are importing into Organizer?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key.  Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
    Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
    Good luck,
    Brian

    This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful!  My email:  [email protected]  
    Good luck.
    Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer?  It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
    <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
    If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called:  PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
    If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website.  <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I transfer my Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from my pc to my mac?

    What is the best way to move a Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from a pc to a mac?

    You do know the mac version of PSE has no Organizer?
    You can use file>Write Tags and Properties to File(s) on your files in the organizer before sending them to your mac to write the tags into the file's metadata, which can be read by Bridge, iphoto, aperture, etc. on the mac. (It doesn't work for raw files and it doesn't always work, so do a couple of test files first.) You'll need to make tags for categories and albums, too, in order to be able to sort by those criteria again.
