PSE 9 storage

can someone tell me where the program stores photos that were open when either the power goes off or the program crashes please I need to find the backup storage folder in Photoshop elements 9
thank you

Ken, I am struggling with this. I have renamed the external harddrive with my photos, found the catalog and copied it to the external with the photos and have connected this external hard drive to the laptop (new computer).
I am now at step 5. of your first response. I have browsed and found the catalog, now my only two options are new or convert. I don't think I need to convert because I have already converted to from 3 to PSE 9 and don't really think it's a "new" catalog.
I need an "outline for dummies", please. If I didn't have so darn many photos, I'd be tempted to just start over. If it helps, I have written tag info to my files.
Thank you for all your patience and help.

PSE 11 online storage

Does PSE 11 offer Canadian customers any online storage/backup? Like some sort of "cloud"?

Photoshop Elements 11 has an upload/download interface with Revel. When an account is opened, the user has premium service for the first 30 days, with unlimited uploads. After 30 days, it will revert to a free account, with 50 uploads a month. Here is a link to some Revel FAQ's that may be helpful:

Restore PSE 3 from a disc image to a re-formatted hard drive

I have Windows XP SP3 etc; Photoshop Elements 3.01; Acronis True Image 11; a 200GB hard drive (for images, audio, etc), a 250 GB hard drive for video storage and 500GB extl hard drive for backup of both hard drives. Some time ago I made a PSE backup onto the extl drive and a couple of incremental backups. I also have a disc image of both drives on the extl drive. With backup disc free space getting scarce I made a new full PSE backup and then deleted the original backups. To cure a number of conflict problems (due to multiple copies of Windows on both hard drives!) I re-formatted C drive and reinstalled the software, including PSE 3. I tried to restore my images and PSE catalog by means of PSE Restore from the PSE Backup; but after a while it asked me for discs/backups 2 and 3 - the ones I had deleted. All of the images are restored onto the C drive, but only a few tags - no Collection detail. Using Aconis I can mount the original disc image of the C drive, and the jpeg/CR2 and catalog psa files are in the usual place. However, file paths are somewhat different between the mounted copy of the C drive and the present actual C drive. Can anybody please advise me how to proceed from here? Is it just a case of using PSE 3 to move the catalog psa file from the Acronis mounted image into the C drive? The problem seems similar to the various threads that I've read on transferring to a new computer with PSE 7, but I am reluctant to "move" (as distinct from "copy") files from the Acronis image without some advice. Can anybody please offer some advice?

Hi dj_paige
Thanks a lot for the answer to my problem. Having resolved my problem with Acronis I then followed your instructions; the images and catalog with Collections etc are now fully restored. Thanks again for your help.

My Mac is running INCREDIBLY slow, Kernel-task and LR, PS, PSE, etc. are not functioning well.

Hi! Been trying to follow a thread about the Kernel-task and slow Mac performance. I did download EtreCheck and ran the report. I am a photographer using LR 4 and Chrome is my main browser. Both Chrome and LR (or PSE, or PS or Xee (a photo viewing app) make my computer run beyond ridiculously slow. I have so much work to do for clients and I get stopped in the middle of editing and cannot move forward because my beloved Mac is having issues. I did go through several old apps and the Application Support and Prefernces and deleted what I could of what I knew "what was what". I would appreciate any help in getting my Mac back on track. Thanks!
- Amy
Problem description:
My Mac is running incredibly sluggish. Chrome continues to lag, and the spinning ball is ridiculous when I am working in LR. I did the EtreCheck and the report is below. I JUST cleared out my LR catalogs and now have just two folders in the catalog from a current wedding I am working on. I will have to consider using separate catalogs for my other genres or even smaller catalogs and just make a catalog for each client. Thanks for looking this over! I am so frustrated.

Several problems exist.
1.
Back up your Mac prior to making any changes to its file system. Time Machine has not been configured properly To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
2.
You inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.
3.
That Mac's Hosts file appears to have been modified. Fixing a modified Hosts file requires specific instructions. Apple Support Communities contributor and EtreCheck author etresoft recently added a User Tip discussing that concern, and how to correct it: Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file

Crs installation problem in oracle 10g rac with NAS storage

Hi,
for my practice i am trying to install oracle 10gR2 on RHEL5-64bit OS in my laptop.
during my crs installation i have struckup with the below error while i am executing root.sh in node1.
Error:
+++++
Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory

As per metalink i have find that this problem is fixed with Patch:4679769
# Patch Installation Instructions:
# To apply the patch, unzip the PSE container file:
# p4679769_10201_LINUX.zip
# Set your current directory to the directory where the patch
# is located:
# % cd 4679769
# Copy the clsfmt.bin binary to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory where
# clsfmt is being run:
# % cp $ORACLE_HOME/bin/clsfmt.bin $ORACLE_HOME/bin/clsfmt.bin.bak
# % cp clsfmt.bin $ORACLE_HOME/bin/clsfmt.bin
# Ensure permissions on the clsfmt.bin binary are correct:
# % chmod 755 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/clsfmt.bin
3. Run the root.sh script and proceed with the installation.
**My question is still i am not install Database ..only i ma trying to install crs but in this readme .txt we need to replace the clsfmt.bin file in ORACLE_HOME/bin.**
**but i have not bin directory under in ORACLE_HOME.please clear my doupt to apply this patch...**
Regards,
Mugunth

Also you clusterware installation installs to an ORACLE_HOME.
Oracle does only make a differentiation, if it has to be clear, that you got a clusterware home and a database home.
Normally if a patch is referring to $ORACLE_HOME (and the patch can be used for clusterware & database), it just means the installation directory of the oracle software installed.

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.
TIA
//Niklas
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... )

PSE 9, external hard drives and moving to new computer

I had an old desktop running PSE 3, yep...3, and my husband bought me a new laptop. Laptop's operating system would not run PSE 3, so I purchased PSE 9, reconnected all my "misplaced" photo files, loaded PSE 9 on the old desktop and converted all files to 9. NOW, I am ready to move everything to the laptop and am unsure what would be best.
I have a large collection of photos and have always stored them on an external harddrive that I just plug in when needed. I purchased a second external hard drive that I am now using for backup ONLY, so I have 2 external HD's - (1) storage and (2) backup.
New laptop has PSE 9 installed and has a some newer photos in the organizer that are presently stored on the laptop harddrive. I have not done any tagging on the laptop because I didn't want to complicate matters. I now want to import my old catalog photos (stored on the external hard drive), including PSE tags. The part that causes me confusion is that I want to continue storing the photos on the external hard drive where they are. It seems counter productive to import, make new files on the laptop, then export back to where they were all along.
Gosh, I hope I'm making sense here. Anyone have any suggestions - simplest of terms, please, regarding how to get access to my photos and tags moved to the laptop if the fewest and easiest steps?

Ken, I am struggling with this. I have renamed the external harddrive with my photos, found the catalog and copied it to the external with the photos and have connected this external hard drive to the laptop (new computer).
I am now at step 5. of your first response. I have browsed and found the catalog, now my only two options are new or convert. I don't think I need to convert because I have already converted to from 3 to PSE 9 and don't really think it's a "new" catalog.
I need an "outline for dummies", please. If I didn't have so darn many photos, I'd be tempted to just start over. If it helps, I have written tag info to my files.
Thank you for all your patience and help.

When I try to open PSE8, I get a notice that PSE 8 has stopped working.

I use Windows 7 as an operating system, and PSE 8 has worked fine up to now. When I try to open PSE8, I get a notice that the storage in photoshop.com is full, and I have to gewt more storage. I went in to photoshop.com and cleared all stored photos, but get the same notice. A few seconds after that notice pops up, I get a notice that PSE has stopped working and Windows has to close it. I can't get in to PSE 8. My husband has a separate user account on our computer and can log in to PSE8 without problem, and without the same notice.
Also, when either of us try to send photos using Photo Mail, neither of us can enter addresses in the address book used with PSE 8. We both use Windows Live Mail for e-mail. We also have PSE 7 and that works fine. Any idea what's going on?

I experience the problem when launching and trying to log into PSE 8.0. Last
year we expanded the storage available under photoshop.com. We discovered we
did not use it, and did not renew the subscription for the expanded storage.
Photoshop.com should have reverted back to 2.0 Gig of storage at no
additional cost. When I log in to PSE 8.0, I get a pop up screen that
informs me that I have 3.2 Gig of storage which exceeds the free 2.0 Gig of
storage available through photoshop.com, and can purchase additional
storage. I have gone into photoshop.com and deleted all photos in storage,
but, because the account is deemed to be suspended because I did not renew,
I can not cancel photoshop.com without first paying the additional $20 to
reinstate the account. I have never before been faced with an additional
cost to cancel a service. Because the photoshop.com pop up screen is the
first thing to appear when I log in to PSE 8.0. The PSE 8.0 welcome screen
is greyed out and I can not get into PSE 8.0. I was told be the tech support
people at photoshop.com that I can only solve the problem by changing my
Adobe ID but, of course, I can't get in to PSE 8.0 to make the changes, and
tech support at photoshop.com can't make the changes.

PSE 8 - Coverting My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0

My free download PSE 8 begings the conversion of My Catalog (Photoshop Album 2.0) when only 6% of the way into the process it stops giving an error message; "Failed. Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it". Frankly I am not sure where to begin.
My entire catalog, only one by the way, was created with the Photoshop Album 2.0 application. In an attempt to identify what was in need of repair using the slideshow View over all of the photos in my catalog I did identify where some images' were not linked to the actual photo. Any such disconnect I have rectified and am able to view the entire slideshow without interruption suggesting that there is nothing to repair?
Our use of Photoshop Album 2.0 has been unsophisticated. We download our photos from camera/s mainly using the Photoshop application which automatically stores them in the Adobe sub-folder under My Pictures. We then move these into appropriately named separate folders and mapping them onto similarly named Collections within My Catalog. Here we edit and delete where necessary and also caption. Once that exercise is complete, to reduce storage, we go back to My Pictures and remove any duplication resulting from the editing process. As a final test we take a slideshow View of each collection to insure that there are no disconnect.
What can I try next? Is there any diagnostic tool within Elements 8 which can assist in identifying where we need to start with the repair job?

Hi John
Despite successfully running Reconnect and Repair, PSE 8 is still unable to
convert My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0. The 'Problems converting
catalogs to PSE 6 or 7' notes suggests that I might need to first migrate to
Elements 5. Can I take you up on the offer find me a copy?
Actually John I may be making life unnecessarily difficult for myself. I
would like to upgrade my Adobe Photoshop software but have some thousands of
photos with captions. Is there a more simple way to migrate photos, edited
photos all with captions into PSE 8?
Regards
Neil

Upgrade help for a newbie..please (PSE 3.0 to 7.0)

I have just bought a new computer & am in the process of transferring everything over. I am now using Vista.
I have been using PSE 3.0 on my old computer, & would like to now upgrade to the newest edition of PSE. I only used PSE for editing & not photo storage/cataloging. I still have discs & serial numbers for both PSE 3 & Premier elements(which I never used). At present I have no photoshop programs (full or trial) loaded on my computer,.
What is the easiest way to get PSE 7.0? Do I have to install PSE3.0 to have an upgrade? Will it work on Vista? Also, if I download the upgrade rather than have the box sent out, what am I missing out on.
I'm tempted to go & just buy the full version from a local retailer because It sounds easier, unless someone can tell me otherwise..
Help/advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Buy the upgrade. Install PSE7. That's it.
Note: the upgrade, and the full version, are not different in any way except price.

Why can I not manage online storage for Elements 9

I purchased a Bamboo Create and I have had nothing but, problems with the Adobe software that came in it. The other software works fine. However, Adobe thinks I should upgrade immeditaely even though I just spent $200 to the new Elements. In fact before 11 came out, I could not manage my photos because being locked out since I would not upgrade to 10. Now, I cannot get Elements to work to even manage storage because my online 2gb is full but yet I do not want all of those photos online. I want to delete many of them. But, Adobe keeps pushing the page to upgrade to 11, and then my elements 9 locks up and stop responding because it says that my online is full. 2GB what a chinchy amount of storage that is. This software does not work from the get go due to the Inspiratation Browser update with the Adobe Air debackle.
I have been thinking about going to 11, but I should not be forced to and the software that I just purchased should work. I had not realized how greedy Adobe was/is.
Please tell me how to make the software that I just purchased work? Please tell me how to manage my online storage without upgrading to 11. As soon as I upgrade to 11, Adobe will just come out with another $80 to $100 upgrade that I will hae to buy or else 11 will stop working.
Thank you for any advice

First of all, go into the Program files (applications folder if you have a mac) and make direct shortcuts to the editor and/or organizer and stop using the welcome screen. Also, disabling syncing temporarily (bottom of your screen/top of your screen depending on mac/windows) and then use a web browser to log into photoshop.com and clear up space, then go into the organizer preferences and turn off the albums you don't want to sync. Adobe has eliminated the connection with photoshop.com in PSE 11, incidentally.

Why doesn't a saved slide show in PSE-6.0 show in Organizer?

Two questions:
1-I've created a few slide shows in Photoshop Elements 6.0 (running Windows Vista-64) and until recently have been able to find and reopen/edit them in Organizer. For some reason none are showing at top of Organizer, even though I can find the file in folder Adobe:/PhotoshopElements/Catalogs/CIB Catalog/Projects. I've even reinstalled PSE6.0 and still won't show newly created slide show projects. Any ideas of what I need to do to be able to create, save and then go back to work on a slide show? My goal is to create a slide show to copy to a DVD for viewing on a TV and don't want to try and do this all in one session.
2-Why are the photos not linked to the correct folder when I try to open and edit it, even after I've just reinstalled PSE-6.0? I don't want to go thru the Browse option to relink up the thumbnail to the original photo.
Thanks very much in advance and I looked up previous discussions about "slide shows" but didn't see this discussed, so sorry if this question has already been covered.

For the slidehshow thumbnail --
I have always been able to find my slideshow thumbnail in the Thumbnail view as long as I had the Media Types to display set to include projects/creations. I would not expect to find the slideshow thumbnail using Folder Location and definitely not using Import Batch (because a slide show is not part of an import batch) . You did not post your current setting for Media Types, so I suggest that you investigate its setting.
However, your problem with the photos showing on the Z drive is probably more serious
One odd thing I've just noticed is that all files in PSE-6 show the
files being on the "Z" drive, but they are on the "C" drive in Windows
Explorer. I am using a cloud based storage service (Trend Micro's
SaveSync) and it designates the "Z" drive as the cloud drive, so this is
odd.
My second question is related to all my photos, not
just ones I've tried to organize into a Slide Show Project. I've tried
different photos in many different folders and all of them show the same
message of "Searching for Missing File". Since I just reloaded PSE-6
I'm very surprised by this error.
If by "reloaded" you mean reinstalled, then the relevant fact is that the reinstall does not modify the Elements Catalog (which is where those pointers to the photo file location on the Z drive reside). So a reinstall of the PSE software would not have an effect here.
Unfortunately, I can not predict or even guess how the Trend Micro SaveSync works and what it would do that would make the PSE Organizer think it should look on the Z drive to find your photo files. The Search for Missing File is most probably caused by that Z drive reference.
All I can suggest is
-- look in the Organizer Preferences for a preference about reconnecting files automatically and set that preference to NOT reconnect automatically so that you have better control of when and how the info about photo file locatin that is stored in the elements catalog is modified .
-- then use the thumbnail view within the Organizer and right click on the thumbnail for one photo and then choose the Reconnect of a single photo
-- can you reconnect that single photo successfully and have it show the C drive as its location ?
-- if yes try a few more photos
-- if you can reconnect several photos, then I suggest that you read the following for a suggestion on how to reconnect many photo files

PSE performance slow

PSE 8, Windows XP, 2Gb memory
Symptoms
Takes quite some time for thumbnails to generate or for larger
If I select several thumbnails and type a tag name into the tags search box, it can take up to 15 seconds for the tag results to be displayed
There could be several factors at play
Older PC
I have an older Dell Inspiron running XP. Having said that it is still an Intel 1.8GHz with Hyperthreading and 2Gb memory. When I notice the slow performance I do not see excessive CPU, nor memory consumption. The FSB I think is 667Mhz
Images are on external NAS
I have a ReadyNas Duo (v1) that is ethernet cabled to my router which is ethernet cabled to my PC. Everything is at 100Mb. I have 2 1Tb drives in X-Raid. When generating thumbnails I do see network activity, but not when tagging. I've never seen the network monitor go over about 50%. The catalog is on local disk.
Older modem/router
I have a Linksys WAG200 modem/router. I do see a lot of activity over the ports when I'm working.
Solutions?
I'd like some considered suggestions. Sure I could replace everything but then I wouldn't have learned anything.
I'm wondering whether bringing all the photo's off the NAS into local disk would be an advantage. As a side issue I backed up the catalog recently, and while the folders with the catalog didn't seem that big, the process was something like a 30Gb backup which seemed ridiculous and took about half an hour to write (to the NAS). I'm assuming it was the thumbnails but I don't need to back those up as if I have a catastrophic failure I'm quite happy to let it chug away during recovery and regenerate the thumbnails. Not like I have to do it every week... Anyway if I brought the images into local storage I'd then have to schedule backups to the NAS regularly but that's OK...
I'm wondering whether the old Linksys gateway is a bottleneck and since I have several other Netgear devces about the place whether upgrading to a gigabit Netgear gateway would do any good.
PC. I'll have to upgrade anyway in which case I'd go for i7, gigabit ethernet, video card. I'm not entirely convinced that the PC is the major problem though...
Any help appreciated...

Hi,
The activity is slower in case of network media involved. Bringing your media into local disk would make your Organizer faster.
The size of backup folder is inclusive of media file size, catalog file, thumbnail cache etc. Hence it would not just be thumbnails. Also taking backup would be faster for non-network drives.
I would suggest you to try Organizer with media on non-network drives. That should solve majority of your issues.

PSE 7 and LR2

I have PSE 7 and online photo back up on photoshop.com. I just recently purchased Lightroom 2 (LR2) to edit my RAW files and am not certain where to start.
I do not want to store pictures in the seperate locations already established by me on my computer and that which is the "default" storage location for LR2. More spcifically, I keep my PSE pics in an Adobe file on my C drive and LR defaults to the My Pictures file in my documents.
If I copy all of the files/folders from Adobe to a new file in the My Pictures folder for LR how will PSE know where to sync my online album from?
Help please with my work flow.
Kay Howard

Can I do this with PSE 7? I read somewhere that later versions of PSE cannot be imported into LR2 using the import tool (I know I can do it manually). I agree about two organizers. My overconfident, overinflated opinion of my understanding of said caused me to delete all of my pictures from their current storage location recently. Thank goodness for Photoshop.com.
Thanks so much for your assistanace.

PSE 8.0 Organizer will not load

I have been using PSE 8.0 for a few months and now the Organizer will not load.....I just get a message that the program is not responding. In fact, the
only way to get to the Editor is to right click on a pictue file and open it in PSE Editor since the PSE Welcome screen is even grayed out and does not allow me to click on Organize or Edit.
I recently max'd out my online storage capacity but can not even delete files from the Catalog because the Organizer will not work.
I have tried de-installing and installing PSE but the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated.

It’s Adobe’s cunning way of getting you to purchase more storage.
Try logging in to Photoshop.com and see if you can delete photos on-line. That might do the trick!
