PSE 9 - Photo Downloader missing "Advanced" option?

The PSE 9 Photo Downloader seems to have lost some of the features that the PSE 8 version had.
The PSE 8 version has an "Advanced" option that shows thumbnails of all of the files on the selected device/media and let you select which one you wanted to upload. You can also insert basic Metadata into each of the uploaded file.
The PSE 9 uploader does not appear to have the "Advanced" option and requires you to upload ALL of the files on the selected device/media and has no option to add Metadata.
The PSE 9 Preferences has a section for the uploader. That includes wether or not to do automatic correction and wether or not to do automatic uploads for specific devices. There is an option in the preferences to have a device use "Show APD Dialog (standard)", I do not see any options for an "advanced" manual upload.
Even the PSE 9 help says there is supposed to be an "Advanced" button on the downloader.
Is this correct, or am I missing something?

What is your screen resolution?

PSE 7 Photo Downloader

I have upgraded from PSE 6 to PSE 7 and when I download pictures from my camera, it says PSE 6 Photo downloader and not PSE 7. The downloader says it detects 2 versions PSE 5 and PSE 6(default). Why is it not detecting the new version of PSE 7? I use Windows XP.

Rosalyn,
You need to disable the PSE 6 downloader. To do that, in PSE 6, go to Edit > Preferences > Camera Or Card Reader and uncheck Autho Launch Adobe Photo Downloader. Restart your computer for good measure. At this point, you should no longer see the little camera icon in the Windows system tray in the lower-right corner.
Note that the PSE 7 downloader works a little differently: When you plug in a camera or card reader, youll see the Windows Autoplay window, and PSE 7 will be listed as one of the choices you can select, which will then launch the downloader.

PSE 9 Photo Downloader Hang on MAC

When I'm in the Downloader and I want to select a different folder to place my downloaded photos in I select "Choose". It goes to the proper window but hangs and won't let me choose a different folder. I have to "Force Quit" Photoshop Downloader to get back to the organizer or PSE. I'm using an IMAC

Missing Advanced Dialog button

Somehow the "Advanced Dialog" button is missing from the Photo Downloader box of my Elements 8. Does anyone have the same problem and know how to fix it? Thanks.

John,
As mentioned yestda, i deleted and re-installed the Element 8 on my computer. It went very smoothly, no problem whatsoever. Then i tried everything you mentioned in your emails. Nothing helped. The 'Advanced" option did not show up at all in the Preferences box, nor on the Downleader box. I can't think of anything else to try other than call the Tech support of Adobe, unless you or someone else can suggest something else to try. I am willing to try anything. Thanks a lot for everyone's help.

Subject: missing Advanced Dialog button
Does "'Show APD Dialog (Advanced)" appear as an option in that drop-down list, as shown here:
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/19683/capture.png
If it doesn't, then that's an additional indication that your PSE is getting confused about the display height. (When the height is less than 768, PSE won't show the Advanced option in the drop-down box.) Whether that's a bug in PSE or a problem on your computer, who knows.
Did you try steps 2-4 from my previous message?

Convert to dng is greyed out in CS3 Bridge Photo Downloader

I have no idea what has happened, but when I use the Photo Downloader in Bridge (CS3) to copy using my card reader, the option to convert to dng is greyed out and is not available for me to select. I can convert to dng using the stand alone dng converter and also from within Camera Raw with no problem, but I like the convenience of doing the conversion using the Photo Downloader. This option was available to me and worked perfectly up until a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Bridge Windows

CS5 bridge photo downloader

Why does the photo downloader close all of the image files from which I am selecting files for downloader once the selected files have been donloaded? I have to then start again, and wait for all of the image file thumbnails to once again open.

It would be much more effecient to use the bridge photo downloader with the options of selecting a specific folder and custom name for the images being downloaded.
I can only confirm your concern about the lack of development regarding Photodownloader. It has much potential but needs improvement to make it a key feature for us photographers.
The slow building of thumbs is one of the major flaws. Sadly enough since it was introduced Photodownloader has not changed a bit (and while Bridge is now 64 bit, on my Mac APDL still proofs to be 32 bit…)
Meanwhile a faster workflow would be like Curt provided, download the lot and use Bridge filter panel and date created sort option to move them in to separate folders. At this moment that is a much quicker workflow then restarting and selecting the files in APDL every single time you need a different folder :-0

No Advanced Dialogue Option in Stnadard Photo Downloader

In my old Photoshop Elements 6, I could go to File --- Get Photos----Camera Card Reader and it would access my card reader and show me all the files on it so I could choose which ones I wished to download. This was done by clicking on an Advanced Dialogue link. Now I have PSE 8. The Help Section tells me to go to the standard photo downloader dialogue box and click on the advanced dialogue option to be able to do this. However, my standard dialogue box doesn't have anyplace to click for "advanced dialogue" Help! I want to be able to view which pictures to download like I did in Elements 6. Any thoughts?

Right, that's the symptom -- the Advanced Dialog button is missing.
I am running Windows 7 and it tells me that I am at 100% and with a 9

OK, so the first FAQ doesn't apply -- you're already running a Windows

What's the current Windows display resolution?

No advanced option on photo downloader screen.

Photoshop 8. When importing pictures, the photo downloader screen is missing the "Advanced" button that is supposed to be in the lower left hand corner. As a test, we installed the same software on another computer and there, the downloader display page was fine. What causes an option button to just not show up? Thoughts?

Do you mean Photoshop Elements 8?

No advanced option in photo downloader

? Why does my Photo Downloader not have an advanced option as in the training videos?

Hi Tom,
After doing a little more hunting around, I have found that the advanced dialog has grown a little and is now 854 pixels deep.
That is quite close to your screen depth of 900. As a test, is it possible to change to a high resolution?
I'm not sure whether it will make any difference but do you have the taskbar set to autohide?
The DPI setting I referred to in my last post can be found in the Personalization option as Adjust font size (DPI). See if setting that to 96DPI helps.

Photo Downloader advanced dialog not displayed completely

Hello,
I use PSE10 and would use this application during traveling on a laptop (Compaq Presario C700). The Adobe website shows as a requirement
Color monitor with 16-bit color video card
1024x576 display resolution
The laptop I'm using fullfills these requirements, the maximal display resolution is 1280 x 800 pixel
When I start the photo downloader to import images from my digital cameras memory card, the Elements Organizer Photo Downloader dialog appears as expected. Then I switch to Advanced Dialog to select only the required image files. But I can't download the images, as the buttons are not visilble, they are below the visible area of my display. The dialog has a size of 976 x 830 pixel (checked on a differenc computer) and can not be resized to a smaller hight. So the button "get media" can not be pressed to start the download.
I checked for updates to see if I miss some bugfixes, but I'm told that no updates are available
How can I use the Advanced Dialog of Photo Downloader from Photoshop Elements 10 to select the images I want to transfer to my computer?
Wolfgang
PS: OS is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, all available updates installed

PSE 6 error in Photo Downloader 4

So Greatful for the support!!! One issue solved and onto another. I just got my editor to load by upgrading my printer drivers. But when I try to open my photoloader it opens and then when the "Loading Device List ....Please Wait" message comes up and it hangs up and eventually sends an error message or just hangs. I don't really need the photoloader but it might be nice to utilize it and skip using other programs. Hope there is some information for a repair. Thanks P
Error messaage: PSE 6 has encountered a problem with Photo Downloader 4 and must close.
PS Thought I would post again and say I tried several of options that I found in the search, with no success. I finally did the Regedit (I am always concerned messing with that!!) and sofar it looks like it is no longer loading!
Thanks goes to : David _ J_Dennehy

Hi,
I guess, the twain driver installed recently is causing the problem.
Please follow the following steps:
1. Go to C:\Windows\twain_32
2. If you find any file with .ds extention (except wiatwain.ds), remove it from this location.
3. Relaunch Photodownloader.
This should solve the problem.

Help with Adobe Photo Downloader in PSE 7?

I do not allow PSE 7 to "see" pictures all over my hard drives; I have ONE watched folder called "my picture collection", in which are stored all of my "final copy" pictures, and these are the only pictures in "my catalog".
Since I am using Photoshop Elements to edit, and tag pictures, etc, I would like to use it to get photos from my Camera....however...
I want to import pictures from my camera, or scanner, to a different folder then my "watched folder", to a folder called "my Pictures F drive". I do this because these may be photos I DO NOT want in "My Catalog", such as today, pictures of the insides of an engine.
I can tell Adobe Photo Downloader NOT to open the Organizer after importing the pictures to whatever folder I wish, and organizer does not open; BUT, I am informed that the next time I open PSE 7, the Organizer will display these pictures, which it does. this is what I do NOT want; I don't want Organizer importing these pictues, and including them in "My Catalog" just because I used Photo Downloader to get them from my camera to a completely unrelated folder; NOT my "watched Folder". Is there any way of stopping Organizer from importing ALL photos handled by Photo Downloader?? If I want photos in "My Catalog", I move them into the "Watched Folder", and THEN I want Organizer to find them, and open them up for tagging etc (which it does). I can't find any way of doing this in "Preferences", or options in Photo Downloader. (The alternative would be to use a different program to get the pictures from the Camera, or scanner). Thanks for any assistance!! Maybe I am not seeing something obvious??

I have an older version of Elements, and in that the downloader always runs in the background when it is enabled via preferences. I found this to be annoying and, therefore, disabled this feature.
My workflow is:
I use a card reader to import pictures from camera card to an empty folder on the desktop
Next, I burn a CD before I do anything else. This is my "film" - can always go back to retrieve an accidentally deleted file.
Then, I delete the obviously poor pictures from the desktop folder - motion, unflattering pose, etc.
Finally, I manually import the "keepers" into organizer, tag them, etc.
You could adapt this scheme to import into the organizer only the pictures which meet the test for what you call "my picture collection", i.e. those pictures which have been enhanced .
In the older version of Elements, the organizer allows one to make a collection. I believe that it called something else in PEv.7, but it is still there. The advantage of this is that you can assemble a group of photos for a particular purpose, which you do. It also allows you to define the order of the photos in the collection by dragging them into position. Suggest that you consult the help file re same.

Photo Downloader and PSE 7

I have just installed PSE 7 and unistalled PSE 6. I no longer have the photo downloader in my system tray. Is it no longer part of the program or is it something I have to turn on? I'm not sure if it's supposed to run and got deleted with the PSE 6 uninstall.

In PSE 7 the Photo Downloader appears as part of the Windows autoplay window and you choose it there. If you want to use it all the time, just select that option in the window. It no longer appears in the system tray.

Photo Downloader Behaviour Options

Hi.
In the Bridge prefs (General), there is Behaviour > When a Camera is Connected, Launch Adobe Photo Downloader. Unfortunately, I have to keep this unchecked because ANY device with pics on it will toggle this Behaviour. Adobe, could you please create checks for Camera, iPad, iPhone, etc?
Cheers. Rudy

Hi Gerald
Not making much progress on here. But, I've had some success offline. I'm using Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Design Premium whereas a friend of mine is using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I had a look at his program earlier today and it seems that he has those missing options in the Bridge Photo Downloader. As far as I can see, we're running exactly the same versions of Bridge - so could it be that these options are disabled in the Creative Suite (or at least in the Design Premium edition)? I have no idea why this would be the case, but it seems the best answer so far.
