PSE 8 Missing instructions for Exercise Files

I am finding the tutorials that came with my PSE 8 impossible to run from CD-ROM, so instead hoped to have success with the online tutorials at http://www.adobe.com/support/photoshopelements/ No such luck.
At the second Getting Started tutorial, there was reference to Exercise files, but no instructions on where to get them. Helpful comments on another discussion referred to "Tips n Trics" on the Welcome page - but my Welcome page only has 2 links; one to "Edit" and one to "Organise" parts of Photoshop Elements.
I'm pretty savvy on the computer but am finding this application's tutorials & online support very frustrating!!!
How do I import these "Exercise Files" ?
Thanks!

It seems that the "Download Samples" link is available, but people are finding that these files are not recognisable.... ?

Newbie. PSE8 missing instructions for obtaining exercise files

Very frustrating since it is obviously omitted on your video tutorials. It appears this information needs to be purchased at Lynda.com, since you cannot view the information without a subscription. I don't even know if these exercise files even exist in PSE8? Amazing not being able to get past the first tutorial without issues.

So that is why my video goes just so far and then stops short of giving me the
complete story. I thought my plus subscription was suppose to give me access to tutorials and templates that was going to be delivered automatically to my software.

PSE 7: "Base directory" for locating files?

I'm trying to salvage a Photoshop Elements 7 catalog that won't cleanly regenerate thumbtails on the old machine (so it hangs). I tried deleting the cache, but the system crashes the first couple of times regenerating the thumbnails, and eventually seems to "hang" at 50% CPU (sits for hours, seeming doing nothing). The log file is no help.
On my new machine, there is no hang, but PSE 7 it is VERY slow to re-locate files, since everything is now at a different location.
Question: Is there a way to set the "base directory" for where Elements starts its search for files, when the location referenced in the catalog has changed? Is there another way to update the catalog, when the physical location of files has changed?
I wanted to backup from the old machine and restore to the new via an external USB disk, but because the old machine "hangs" on the thumbnails, I can't. At this point, I'm thinking of re-cataloging my thousands of photos...

That's not how PSE works.
PSE knows about photos only if you Import the photos into PSE. Then, PSE knows what folder the photo files are in, and they must remain in that directory, unless you use PSE to move them.
So, if the photos are in different directories on the new computer, you must reconnect the photos to the PSE Organizer. Here are the details on how to do this: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Quickly_reconnecting_la rge

PSE, multiple Windows users for same files - how do use the same profile?

I have collected all my digital media into a NAS unit, available on my LAN. All users have their own users on to the LAN, but I would like to share one "profile" for all when it comes to the PSE view of my pictures, so that we can all use the same tagging, importing by different users onto shared storage should be visible for all in Organizer etc.
I'm simply not understanding the project concept of PSE ("My Catalog") to make this happen myself - could some of you knowledgable people give me a hint on how to accomplish this?
I fail to believe I'm the only one with family pictures that several persons should be able to work with together.

Ps. I used to work in PSE7, have recently upgraded to PSE9. Have a WinXP / Win7 environment with multiple users and multiple computers, not domain-controlled.

I've done this years ago using PSE3-6, but had less than satisfactorily results.
I would not recommend it as your DB might get seriously compromised.
You could however, copy the whole Catalog-directory and -files to each local host and then update these files on a regular base from the "master" host on to the other "clients". You'll want the master host to be the only one allowed to make changes/updates/deletes to the DB.
The prerequisite is that the NAS-share will have the same driveletter/full path on each client, otherwise you'll have to reconnect thousands of missing files each time the path/driveletter changes.....
Maybe APE9 is less finicky and allows to do exactly what you (and me too....) want.
I'll try it in the near future when I'll have time to play with it more and let you know if you're still interested then. (can take months... )

PREMIERE ELE9 MISSING CODEC FOR JPG FILE

Basically, I want to import still photos into the timeline but when I import it into the project adobe says the file is not supported or the codec is missing. This is weird because I have done this before with no problem. What do I do? Please help. Thanks

There is no CODEC required for JPEG, but they must adhere to certain criteria.
They must be RGB.
They cannot be Progressive.
They cannot contain certain Metadata, as John mentions.
If the Color Mode is NOT REG - Open in PS, change the Color Mode to RGB and Save with Baseline Optimized, or better yet, as a PSD.
If the JPEG's came from the Web, they could well be Progressive - Open in PS and Save with Baseline Optimized, or better yet, as a PSD.
Good luck,
Hunt

Instructions for config files on VPN client

I'm looking to deploy the 5.0.00 client on about 150 pc's. Is there a way for me to create a config file that will have the settings so I can have the users easily install the app on their own?

Roland-
Sure. Set it up on your pc, and there will be a connection profile created that resides in C:\PROGRAM FILES\CISCO SYSTEMS\VPN CLIENT\PROFILES that will be called *****.pcf - whatever you named the connection. This file can be distributed with the client, and all the user needs to do is click on the import button on the client and point to that .pcf file.
HTH,
Paul

Install instructions for CS6 upgrade for WIndows missing - in what order should files be run?

After over 14 days of dealing with the idiots at Adobe Support, opening and closing of 2 cases multiple times, promised emails not being sent (and being blamed for having my email set up to filter out Adobe emails), attempts to charge me for the already approved "free" upgrade, and then having an order for a physical disk version of the CS6 upgrade cancelled by some bonehead, I finally was able to download the CS6 upgrade files. Only to discover that there are no installation instructions for Windows if you did not use the Akamai download manager (which I did not).
There are a total of 6 files in the download directory, all downloaded from the CS6 upgrade download page.
- In what order should the files be run? Just run the .exe files, or do some files need to be extracted/unzipped first?
A second question: my CS5.5 version was never installed, and never registered.
- Will the CS6 upgrade accept its serial number directly, or do I have to do something else through Adobe Support?
-- WTW

Which files: all of them on the CS6 Production Premium upgrade download page.
ProductionPremium_CS6_LS7.7z
ProductionPremium_CS6_LS7.exe
PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.7z
PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.exe
Illustrator_16_Content_LS16.exe
Download_and_Install_Instruction_all.pdf
The last one is useless.
The Speech Analyzer Models were downloaded separately, from another page. I assume they should be installed after everything else is installed and working.

Restore - filename for datafile is missing in the control file

I am practicing RMAN recovery procedures and I encountered a problem that I do not know how to solve.
1) I took a hot backup of my test database.
2) Create tablespace TS_DATA_TEMP
3) Deleted tablespace TS_DATA which had 2 datafiles
4) Created tablespace TS_DATA with 1 datafile
5) shutdown database
6) logged into RMAN in nomount
7) restore controlfile from autobackup;
8) alter database mount;
9) restore database;
RMAN> restore database;
Starting restore at 22-AUG-08
using channel ORA_DISK_1

So i'm not sure what the problem is. Datafile TS_DATA.dbf is located in the control file but i'm getting the error: the filename for datafile 5 is missing in the control file.
Suggestions on what's wrong with the control file?

I found my mistake; a newbie error.
I did not know I needed to include in my restore command the 'until' option when doing incomplete recovery. I only included the 'until' option in the recover command:
original command
restore database;
recover database until sequence =123;
should be
restore database until sequence = 123;
recover database until sequence =123;
I usually run the command using a RUN block with a SET UNTIL SEQUENCE but this case I used the single commands separately.
RUN
+{+
SET UNTIL sequence 123;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
+}+

Missing thumbnail images for AVCHD files

I never had this problem before.
In the past I would import AVCHD (*.mt2s) video files to the oganizer using Premiere Elements 7.
Then I would open Photoshop Elements 7 and the video files I just imported in Premiere Elements 7 would display their thumbnails just fine.
NOW, these thumbnails do not display.
AVCHD files that I had previously imported still display their thumbnail, but any NEW AVCHD files do not display their thumbnail images; it just displays a default video thubmbnail graphic.
Furthermore, if I select "Update thumbnail" from the context menu of a previously imported AVCHD file with a thumbnail, then the thumbnail image goes away and siaplays the default graphic.
(PLEASE NOTE: when I click the default thumbnail image, it opens the video previewer successfully. So the answer is not that the video file is missing and therefore needs to be reconnected to regenerate the thumbnail image. So else is wrong here.)
How can I get the thumbnail feature to work properly? It works fine in Premiere Elements; the thumbnails images for both new and old imported files display just fine in that program, which is what I used to be able to see in Photoshop Elements. Why is PSE7 not displaying these video thumbnail images?

I have solved this issue myself a month or two ago and forgot to report my findings.
I alspo have a Canon HD camcorder so this was a major issue for me.
The way to resolve this issue (at least in my case) was to download a codec pack like k-lite. Do a google search for the codec pack or follow this link:
http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
When I installed the codec pack, I think I had to make sure M2TS files were selected within the installation wizard so just be aware of that.
Another way to resolve this issue is to upgrade to Windows 7. After I upgraded to Windows 7, I did not have to re-install the codec. I think Windows 7 has native support for AVCHD files.
I hope this helps. If it does, please report here if you encounter anything of note worthy since the details of this process are no longer fresh on my mind.

PSE 12 Has stopped showing thumbnails for new files

PSE 12 has stopped showing thumbnails for new file imports. Have Windows 8.1 update

In the PSE12 Organizer, the last files imported show an hourglass thumbnail. I am importing from the camera card. Other images have the correct thumbnail. I see the spinning icon on the lower bar showing it updating the catalog. Thank you for your assistance

Hi,
As I understand, you are using SharePoint designer worfklow on 2013 platform and you would like to edit cancelation email body for task process.
From my experience, there is no OOB option for you to edit cancelation email body. Since workflow 2013 is different from 2010, task forms are auto-generated based upon a certain Content Type. As workaround, I'd recommend you using approval workflow on 2010
platform. In addition, you could try codeplex 2013 approval workflow, please check the link below:

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files I want to listen to online. These are Hymn files. And I get a message telling me I have a missing plugin. Any ideas?

My husband used to be able to convert ABC files to MIDI files . This allows sheet music to be played on the computer so as to learn a tune. We get the Missing Plug in message.
I downloaded the Quicktime 7. I open Quick time, Still get the message. What is the solution?
If you need to look at an example, go to "The Session" website:

Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with PSE 12 when purchased recognize the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

Where can I find the exercise files for AdobeTV??

Hi, I've been watching the new cs4 Flash episodes/tutorials found on AdobeTv. --> http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-flash-professional-cs4/

Thanks!
