PSE Backup-Probleme

Ich habe meine Fotos in einer bestimmten Ordnerstruktur gepeichert. Darüber liegt ein PSE-Katalog.
Nach einem Systemausfall musste ich ein Restore machen und stellte fest, dass PSE die Ordnerstruktur nicht wiederherstellt, sondern nur die unterste Ebene der Ordner (diejenigen, in denen sich  Fotos befinden).
Das ist Problem #1.
Dann die Backup-Geschwindigkeit von PSE. Selbst wenn ich nur 10 Fotos hinzugefügt habe dauert ein inkrementelles Backup Stunden (auf einem schnellen, nagelneun Rechner)! Absolut unverständlich und nicht akzeptabel.
Das ist Problem #2.
Damit ist das PSE-Backup für mich absolut unbrauchbar.
Jetzt benutze ich Acronis für das Backup. Ich sichere 1. die Ordnerstruktur der Fotos und 2. die ProgramData von Adobe (darin sind die Kataloge enthalten).
Meine Frage ist nun (und das möchte ich nicht ausprobieren): gibt es aus PSE-Sicht irgendwelche Einwände mit einem solchen Backup? (Natürlich immer 1. + 2. synchron gesichert).

Nein, grundsaetzlich gibt es gegen Ihre Methode keine Einwaende.  Sie ist in vielen (Not)Faellen erfolgreich angewendet worden.  Es werden immer wieder Schwierigkeiten mit Organizer Backups, insbesondere inkrementellen berichtet.  Das von Ihnen erwaehnte Problem beim Restore (Ordnerstruktur) sollte allerdings nicht auftreten oder loesbar sein, aber das ist eine andere Frage.
Meine Empfehlung ist allerdings, dass Sie das Kommando '>File> Write Keyword Tags and Properties Info to Photos' (Stichwort-Tags und Eigenschaften Info zu Fotos schreiben) durchfuehren.  Fuer alle Faelle.
Juergen
P.S.  Hinzuzufuegen ist allerdings noch, dass gewisse Kreationen, wie z.B. Alben, hierbei verloren gehen koennen.

    Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

    If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
    Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
    Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

  • PSE 6 Problems Fixed in PSE 7

    Over the past year, Ive kept a list of PSE 6 problems Ive encountered and verified:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b65e1b/0
    Ive tested those problems in PSE 7 on my computer, and the results appear below.
    PSE 6 problems that appear to have been fixed in PSE 7 are marked [F], and problems that arent fixed are marked [NF]. Because of limitations of the forum, this list is split across several messages.
    Overview
    The good news is that Adobe has fixed many of the most serious problems with PSE 6:
    - The missing Help content.
    - The inability to use raw files on a newer computer.
    - The Move command that deleted files.
    - The low-contrast grey-on-black user interface.
    In addition, the PSE 7 Organizer seems significantly zippier for scrolling and searching (with my 13K catalog and someone elses 68K catalog).
    The not-so-good news is that a fair number of serious problems and a large number of minor ones remain unfixed:
    - The Organizer still gets horribly confused by reassignment of drive letters and drives with duplicate serial numbers, situations that occur when people upgrade their computers.
    - Numerous problems with searching, including the broken timeline and exclude keyword category.
    - Folder Location view still shows incorrect folder contents.
    - Map view remains a buggy toy that cant handle more than several hundred photos.
    - Date/times set by Adjust Date and Time can still be lost silently.
    - High-resolution displays with DPIs larger than 96 arent supported.
    - The Organizer shows incorrect colors for Adobe RGB photos.
    There are 65 issues listed here, 37 of which are major, causing data loss or seriously impeding functionality with no easy, obvious workaround. Of the 37 major issues, 13 have been fixed. Of the 28 minor issues, 8 have been fixed.
    Ive reported all of these problems to Adobe. Almost all of them are in the Organizer. Based on all the reports on the forums, it appears that the PSE 6 Editor has far fewer problems the Organizer. Perhaps thats because the Editor shares the same code with the professional Photoshop, while the Organizer appears to be an orphaned consumer product whose development Adobe has moved offshore.
    For reference, my computer is a midrange laptop with a dual-core 1.8 GHz processor, 3 GB of memory, and a 7200 RPM disk (the same speed as desktop disks).
    Raw Files
    Major Problems
    [F] On a multiprocessor, the Organizer behaves erratically with catalogs containing raw files: sometimes it crashes, sometimes it shows the hourglass icon for raw files, sometimes it shows the broken-image icon.
    [F] In a catalog with large numbers of raw files, scrolling quickly over dozens or hundreds of large-sized thumbnails will consume 100% CPU for a minute or longer.

    Part II
    File Management and Tagging
    Major Problems
    [F] The File > Move command will silently and permanently lose a file if the destination folder has a file of the same name as the file being moved; this is different behavior than PSE 5.
    [F] The File > Move command loses the association between the photo and the audio caption, even though it moves both files to the new location.
    [F] If you move or rename a catalog using File > Catalog > Move/Rename, you can no longer edit existing slideshows in the catalog.
    [F] Tag hierarchies with more than 500 or so tags make the Keywords pane unusably slow (but worked fine in PSE 5).
    [F] The Photo Downloader process APDProxy.exe crashes at startup because of a missing DLL.
    ]This problem doesnt occur in my PSE 7. But it was clearly a timing-dependent bug (a race condition) that came and went for me and many others, so it may be still lurking. Adobe has a tech note that says it occurs with PSE 7, but the tech note gives symptoms and a workaround that only apply to PSE 6, suggesting a cut-and-paste error by a PSE 7 support person.
    [NF] The Organizer fails very ungracefully when two drives have the same volume serial number, e.g. because of the use of a disk-cloning utility.
    ]Im very disappointed that Adobe didnt add the three lines of code that would have issued a warning when it discovered two drives with the same number. While most people will never encounter this, when it strikes someone, its symptoms are very mysterious. Adobes tech note on the issue gives incorrect and misleading information about possible solutions.
    [NF] The Reconnect command fails to reconnect when: you move your photos to a new drive, assign the drive the letter of the old drive to the new one, and leave both drives connected to your computer.
    [NF] If a hard drive containing photos in the catalog gets its drive letter reassigned by Windows, then the left-hand folder pane of Display > Folder Location view shows the old drive letter, not the new one, as containing the photos.
    ]This sounds innocuous, but it led a user on the forums to select the wrong drive when dragging and dropping a folder, permanently deleting some files. This bug and the previous one with Reconnect have the same underlying cause the Organizer doesnt update drive letters in its catalog.
    [NF] Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents when more than one keyword tag is selected in the Keyword Tags pane.
    ]Based on reports on the forums, there appear to be other situations where Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents, but they havent been easy to reproduce.
    Minor Problems
    [F] The File > Rename command no longer includes leading zeroes, causing the renamed files to sort incorrectly in Windows Explorer.
    [F] Display > Import Batch shows the wrong time for batches imported by the Photo Downloader; if the local time zone is UTC-8:00, then the time will be 8 hours earlier.
    [F] The Organizer doesnt unlock an edited file saved to a folder whose name contains an apostrophe.
    [NF] In File > Export, the Common Basename can no longer be empty, and a hyphen is added automatically, so you can no longer get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
    ]You can get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. but you cant get files named p1.jpg, p2.jpg, etc. a hyphen is still added in that case.
    [NF] Setting the Apply Metadata > Author or Copyright fields or the option Preserve Current Filename In XMP of the advanced options of the Photo Downloader causes duplicate files to be downloaded and imported.
    Map View
    Major Problems
    [NF] Map view is unusably slow with more than about 6-8,000 mapped photos.
    ]When I tested PSE 7 by importing 12,000 photos (the size of my catalog) that had GPS locations, the red push-pins didnt blink uncontrollably as they did in PSE 6. But the Organizer crashed a number of times when I tried to zoom and pan the Map view until I was able to scroll the map to another country and then back again. The CPU continued to consume 80% of a single CPU (40% of two), even 10 minutes after I closed Map view. When I selected Limit Search to Map Area, PSE took over a minute to respond.
    [NF] It takes 5 seconds to assign a keyword tag to a photo if there are 1,000 or more photos with map locations.
    ]In PSE 7, it takes 3 seconds with 1,000 photos, 12 seconds with 8,000 photos, and 18 seconds with 12,000 photos.
    [NF] Giving a map location to a tag assigned to hundreds of photos makes both the Keywords pane and the Map view unusably slow.
    ]Giving a map location to a tag assigned to 2000 photos makes assigning any keyword tag to a photo very slow (see above). Searching on keyword tags takes 15 seconds, and a Show All takes 15 seconds.
    [NF] Removing the map push-pin of a tag assigned to hundreds of photos mistakenly tries to update the metadata of each photo, which can take tens of minutes and fill up your recycle bin.
    ]The weird thing is that assigning a map location to the tag doesnt try to write the metadata of files with that tag.
    [NF] Moving map locations always fails, silently (too bad if you want to record backcountry locations not namable via a place name).
    [NF] If a photo with GPS coordinates is imported, it doesnt show as a red push-pin on the map.
    ]Scrolling the map or restarting the Organizer causes the pin to appear.

    Have you located the program file to ensure it is properly installed?.
    If not, click on the start button and type PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (note caps and no spaces) into the search box.
    The program, if available, should appear with a blue PSE icon in the search results.

  • PSE Backup vs. Windows backup

    I normally make my backups on a NAS using a dedicated backup utility. I make backups of all my documents and images.
    So I am not using PSE backup facility. What do I miss? Is there any extra feature that I cannot have with a backup utility?
    I have tried to run a backup with PSE on a test folder, but the way in which the files are renamed and organized, it seems to me that this backup could only be restored with PSE. Is it correct?

    OK, you are right. I am making backups only of the image files and of all the files contained in my images folders, even of the files that are not in the PSE catalog. Together with all the backup of the rest of the stuff that I backup regularly: documents, emails, and so on.
    I don't make backup on the catalog file itself, but I am going to include it in my backup profile.
    So I have to run in any case a regular backup on my system. What will be the advantage to run also a PSE backup?

  • PSE 8.0 Backup problems

    Hi!
    I am trying to make backups of my catalogues to a separate hard drive.
    Two out of three catalogues goes ok, but the last one makes PSE to hang after 64%, no matter how many times I try.
    I have repaired the catalog, runned defrag + diskcheck on the (source) drive, tried to different target locations, all without any better result.
    Anyone having any suggestions?
    Computer is PC, Win7
    Regards, Peter

    Peter,
    I am not an expert but is the problem catalog much larger than the ones that do work? How long do you wait?
    I'm not sure but I think that the progress bar is worked out on the number of files. During the first 60%, PSE is copying the XML and XMP files which are quite small. The last 40% or so is when it copies the actual images which cam be quite large. If you have say 1000 pictures then each 1% can be about 300 images and if they are 2Mb, we are talking about the time to copy 500MB of data.
    (hope I have my calculations correct)

  • Backup Problem in PSE 8

    When I try a backup in PSE 8 it begins by caluculating the media size, but before it finishes it stops and seem to begin to search for a missing file.  If I let it search on its own or select browse the result is the same.  The Reconnect Missing File window comes up, but no picture is displayed.  Therefore I cannot connect or delete the offending picture.  How do I find the file causing the problem?  I have tried to run reconnect all missing files with the same result and I have tried to repair the database with no change in the result.  Thanks for your help

    I have Quicktime version 7.6.5
    I cannot see/play MOV video files taken with a Canon powershot 960SD within PSE, I do not know what codec was used to create them. (what book do you refer to?, please elaborate so I can provide the codec info requested).
    I CAN play the video files in Quicktime outside of PSE.
    I can see/play m2ts video files from within PSE.
    I was able to see/play these same videos with PSE8 in Vista... the problem came after clean-installing W7.
    Thanks for your help

  • Catalog backup problems with PSE 11

    Hi,
    I'm having terrible problems trying to backup my catalog to an external hard drive.
    My PC is running Windows 7 with 8 GB of internal memory. My external hard drive is formatted to FAT 32 and has 130GB of spare capacity. My catalog is 45GB.
    I have previously backed up the the catalog without any problems but can't remember if I did this before I upgraded to PSE 11.
    I initially tried doing a full backup but got an error part way through writing the 'breeze' data. Having read that the breeze data was only used for face recognition, I deleted the remaining breeze data files and tried again.
    I then encountered a problem when writing some of my early .jpg files. I couldn't see any obvious problem with these but tried removing them and runnning the back up again.
    This time it got a bit further but hung up on some .mpg files.
    I removed all video files and tried again.
    This time it got up to over 60% complete but it then hung up on some early files which had a 'description' 2002 rather than a straight date name to the file. I thought that there might be a problem with file names including ' 's ', so removed these and tried again.
    I then tried running Catalog 'optimize' and 'repair' (I didn't tick 'the re-index visual similarity data').
    I eventually got up to over 65% complete but couldn't get the backup to go past my 2007 files no matter what files I removed.
    I then tried doing an incremental backup using a Catalog file that I had created in 2011. This backup failed with 'an error encountered while writing.....WaldoData\waldo.cache'
    I now don't know what to try! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    FYI, looking at the backup Catalog files that I have previously created, it appears that only the first contains all the images from whole catalog with an equal number of .xml files.
    Two others which I created (which I can't remember were full or incremental backups) only have some of the images. I'm sure that this can't be right.
    I presume that for an intial backup the .xml files should run from B0000001 to Bnnnnnnn; the .jpg/.mpg/ etc from Bnnnnnnn+1 to B 2(nnnnnnn) and that when one runs an incremental back up the new .xml files are added from B2(nnnnnnn)+1 to B2(nnnnnnnn)+(mmmm) and the image files continuing for a further (mmmm). Is this correct?
    Otherwise what should one be seeing?
    Regards
    Mike

    Thank you for your information about my problem with PSE 11. I have since tried the programme on 2 different computers and it works fine. Seems like the problem is with my computer although my old PSE 10 works okay. I'd appreciate any ideas about what could be wrong with my computer to cause my photos to break up into various segments which don't join together particularly when I move them into 'before and after horizontal' or '......vertical' and even when zooming them. ( HP Pavilion Elite) Vista Ultimate.

  • PSE Backup wouldn't work: "CD device driver not installed; install PSE" didn't fix problem; Win7

    I'm trying to backup by photos for the first time! in Photoshop 5.0 on a Windows 7 system. I get to "Full Backup" option, and get a pop-up that says "CD device driver not installed; reinstall PSE". I put my PSE disk into my computer, select "Repair... installs... missing files"; PSE re-installs, but I get the same message again when I try to backup. How do I find a CD device driver? (My DVD is formatted, but PSE can't find it.)

    I just found a photoshop elements 5.0.2 update "patcher" and installed it. The install was successful but I still got the same message saying "CD device driver not installed". Might there be a problem since I'm now on Windows 7 and no longer on XP? I have no need to buy a newer version since Elements 5.0 does everything I need to do. Any other suggestions?

  • PSE 11 incremental backup problems

    Since upgrading to PSE 11, I have been unable to complete an incremental backup . Whenever incremental is selected, it does a full backup which is quite time consuming. The main photos are on an external 1tb drive and I backup to a 2 tb external drive. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    That last statement of your worries me a little. If it is doing an incremental backup but actually copying everything then if you ever had to do a restore it will ask for the original full backup.
    When you are starting off the incremental back, it should ask you for the new folder to backup to and for the folder containing the previous backup. Is it allowing you to enter both?
    As a test, if you complete a backup and, before doing any changes to your catalog, start a new incremental backup to a new, empty folder, it should complete very quickly. Once a backup is started, I often open the folder that I'm backing up to in Windows explorer. I can then watch the progress by watching the item count going up.

  • PSE 7 Problems Fixed in PSE 8

    Since PSE 6 was released, I’ve tracked all the reproducible bugs I’ve encountered and reported to Adobe.  I’ve tested these problems in PSE 8 and listed the results below – problems that appear to have been fixed in PSE 8 are marked [F], and problems that remain unfixed are marked [U].
    Overview
    There’s good and bad news. Adobe has fixed a number of serious bugs in the Organizer, but it has left most unfixed, even though they’ve been present since at least version 6.  Even worse, the two major features introduced in the PSE 8 Organizer, face tagging and the keyword-tags text box, have show-stopper problems. And even worse yet, Full Screen view is now painfully slow with large catalogs.
    The most important fixes address serious problems with PSE’s handling of drives that were introduced in version 6. PSE now notices when a drive’s letter has changed, a problem that has bedeviled many users upgrading or rearranging their drives. Also, PSE now ignores the case of UNC pathnames (network drives), no longer creating duplicate volumes for the same network drive.  Unfortunately, one serious bug remains: PSE still gets horribly confused when there are two drives with the same volume serial number, and it still doesn’t even issue a warning.
    But many long-standing problem areas remain: The Map View is an unusable toy.  The handling of metadata is riddled with bugs.  Folder Location view shows the wrong contents of folders. Searching has numerous bugs making it clumsy and confusing.
    Overall, of all the bugs I’ve reported, PSE 8 fixes 8 of 46 major ones and 8 of 28 minor ones:

    I’ve reported all of these problems to Adobe. Almost all of them are in the Organizer.  Based on all the reports on the forums, it appears that the Editor has far fewer problems than the Organizer.   Perhaps that’s because the Editor shares the same code with the professional Photoshop, while the Organizer appears to be an orphaned consumer product whose development Adobe has moved offshore.
    For reference, my computer is a midrange Vista laptop with a dual-core 1.9 GHz processor, 4 GB of memory, and a 7200 RPM disk (the same speed as desktop disks).
    New Problems in PSE 8
    [U] PSE 8 crashes or gets intolerably slow after using the new Keyword Tags text box a small number of times.
    On my 4 GB Vista 32 system, PSE crashes after tagging 41 photos.
    [U] If you use the new Keyword Tags text box to apply an existing tag name with a comma in it, PSE will silently create two new tags instead.
    Apply the existing tag “San Francisco, CA” will create two new tags, “San Francisco” and “CA”.
    [U] After applying a tag, the Keyword Tags text box loses keyboard focus and you need to mouse-click in the box again to enter another tag.
    Forcing the use of the mouse defeats the purpose of the Keyword Tags text box, which is to make tagging much faster.
    [U] The Find > Find People For Tagging command locks up the Organizer for about 30 seconds after you click Done (even if you haven’t made any changes), when using larger catalogs.
    On a catalog with 10,000 thumbnails showing, the cursor spins for 30 seconds after clicking done.  But you can work around this by doing a tag search or setting a date range to have only a small number of thumbnails showing before you invoke the command.
    [U] In the Find > Find People For Tagging command, when you select Add Missing Person, you usually can’t resize the selection box by grabbing the lower-right or lower-center handles, which are the handles that most right-handed people are likely to use.
    If you move the mouse very quickly so that it is over the photo before the selection box appears, you can usually resize the box with those handles.  But you have to be very quick.
    [U] The Find > Find People For Tagging command doesn’t do auto-complete on pre-existing People tags, making it very hard to use with existing catalogs.
    I have over two hundred People tags in my catalog.  Because the command doesn’t auto-complete on pre-exisiting People tags and will silently create new tags, and because I don’t remember exact spellings (that’s the point of auto-complete!), I found myself creating duplicate tags (e.g. “John Ellis” instead of “John R. Ellis”, “Bob Smith” instead of “Robert Smith”).  It’s painful to clean up such a mess.
    [U] Full Screen view (F11) is much slower than in PSE 7 on larger catalogs.
    With a 14,000-file catalog and all thumbnails visible, PSE 7 takes 6 seconds to invoke F11, while PSE 8 takes 13 seconds.   With just 20 thumbnails visible (e.g. when working on the most recent import batch), PSE 7 takes 1 second, while PSE 8 takes 7 seconds. This makes selecting the good and weeding out the bad significantly slower.
    [U] PSE doesn’t remember the settings if you toggle the Full-Screen Quick Edit Panel and Quick Organize Panel to disappear completely.
    On 4:3 displays, it’s desirable to hide the panels completely in full-screen view, so you see the entire image without the panels overlapping them (that’s the point of full-screen view, no?).  But PSE forgets the toggle settings, even in the same session.
    [U] The keyword tagging in the Quick Organize Panel doesn’t auto-complete tags you type, making it useless with more than a dozen or so tags.
    It’s worse than useless, since it will silently create a new tag if you mistype the name of an existing one.  And the “tag cloud” is a silly toy that doesn’t help with hundreds of tags.
    File Management and Tagging
    Major Problems
    [F] After reconnecting a file on a network drive, PSE will let you import the file a second time, failing to recognize it as a duplicate.  The catalog is left in an inconsistent state, with two entries in the volume table for the network drive, one upper case and one lower case.
    [F] The Reconnect command fails to reconnect when: you move your photos to a new drive, assign the drive the letter of the old drive to the new one, and leave both drives connected to your computer.
    [F] If a hard drive containing photos in the catalog gets its drive letter reassigned by Windows, then the left-hand folder pane of Display > Folder Location view shows the old drive letter, not the new one, as containing the photos.
    This sounds innocuous, but it led a user on the forums to select the wrong drive when dragging and dropping a folder, permanently deleting some files.  This bug and the previous one with Reconnect had the same underlying cause – the Organizer didn’t update drive letters in its catalog.  Fixed in PSE 8.
    [F] The Restore Catalog command puts the wrong path into the restored catalog for folders whose name starts with the catalog name, and it will mark files in those folders as missing. For example if the catalog is named “houses”, and a folder containing photos in the catalog is named “houses photos”, files in the restored catalog will have the path “houses\ photos\” instead of “houses photos\”.
    [U] Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents when more than one keyword tag is selected in the Keyword Tags pane.
    Based on reports on the forums, there appear to be other situations where Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents, but they haven’t been easy to reproduce.
    [U] The Organizer fails very ungracefully when two drives have the same volume serial number, e.g. because of the use of a disk-cloning utility.
    I remain mystified that Adobe didn’t add the three lines of code that would have issued a warning when it discovered two drives with the same number.  While most people will never encounter this, when it strikes someone, its symptoms are very mysterious (and a lot of people using cloning utilities).
    [U] The conversion of a catalog from PSE 6 to PSE 8 doesn’t properly handle photos that are stored within the PSE 6 catalog folder (as occurs when PSE 6 was used to restore a catalog from a backup).  As a result, it isn’t possible to save photos in version sets, and PSE 8 will create duplicate thumbnails in the Organizer for an edited file.
    [U] File > Backup/Restore Catalog doesn’t backup and restore audio in slide shows.
    [U] Using Folder Location view to move a folder containing hidden files imported in the catalog will silently fail to move the hidden files and will leave the unhidden files disconnected in the catalog.
    [U] When converting a previous-version catalog whose photos are stored inside the catalog folder, as occurs when you’ve previously used File > Restore Catalog with New Location, PSE 8 needlessly copies all those photos. If you have a very large catalog, this will waste huge amounts of disk space; and if there isn’t enough disk space to do the copy, the conversion will fail instantly with a generic non-explanatory error message.
    Minor Problems
    [U] In File > Export, the Common Basename can no longer be empty, and a hyphen is added automatically, so you can no longer get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
    You can get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. but you can’t get files named p1.jpg, p2.jpg, etc. – a hyphen is still added in that case.
    [U] Setting the Apply Metadata > Author or Copyright fields or the option Preserve Current Filename In XMP of the advanced options of the Photo Downloader causes duplicate files to be downloaded and imported.
    Integration with Photoshop.com
    Major problems
    [F] Adding a photo to a second synced album will cause Photoshop.com to lose any changes you’ve made with PSE’s Edit > Adjust Date And Time.
    [F] If you you rename a file that’s synced with Photoshop.com, Photoshop.com doesn’t pick up the new name (important if you’re using Photoshop.com as a backup service).
    [U] Photoshop.com shows an incorrect date/time taken for photos with unknown month, day, or time.
    The date/time shows as the the first month/day/minute/second in that time period in UTC that then gets converted to local time; e.g. “7/2/2005” gets shown as “7/1/2005 5:00 PM” for a user in PDT.
    [U] Photoshop.com doesn’t obey the EXIF Orientation metadata field and can show photos rotated incorrectly, e.g. if they were rotated with the PSE option Edit > Preferences > Files > Rotate JPEGs/TIFFs Using Orientation Metadata.
    [U] Changes to the order of photos in a PSE album aren’t synced to Photoshop.com, and vice versa.
    [U] Only the top photo in a version set is synced with Photoshop.com (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup version sets).
    [U] When a stack is synced with Photoshop.com, all the photos in the stack are synced, but the fact that they were in a stack is lost (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup stacks).
    Map View
    Major Problems
    [U] It takes 4 seconds to assign a keyword tag to a photo if there are 2,000 or more photos with map locations.
    It takes 2 seconds with 1,000 photos, 6 seconds with 4000 photos, and 11 seconds with 8,000 photos, and 21 seconds with 12,000 photos.
    [U] Map view is unusably slow with more than 8 - 10,000 mapped photos.
    When I imported 12,000 photos (the size of my catalog) that had GPS locations, the Organizer crashed a number of times when I tried to zoom and pan the Map view.   When I selected Limit Search to Map Area, PSE took over a minute to respond.
    [U] Giving a map location to a tag assigned to hundreds of photos makes both the Keywords pane and the Map view unusably slow.
    Giving a map location to a tag assigned to 1700 photos makes assigning any keyword tag to a photo very slow, 12 seconds.    Searching on keyword tags and Show All each take 13 seconds.
    [U] Removing the map push-pin of a tag assigned to hundreds of photos mistakenly tries to update the metadata of each photo, which can take tens of minutes and fill up your recycle bin.
    The weird thing is that assigning a map location to the tag doesn’t try to write the metadata of files with that tag.
    [U] Moving map locations always fails, silently (too bad if you want to record backcountry locations not namable via a place name).
    [U] If a photo with GPS coordinates is imported, it doesn’t show as a red push-pin on the map.
    Scrolling the map or restarting the Organizer causes the pin to appear.
    Color Management
    Major Problems
    [U] The Organizer considers photos produced by cameras set to the color space Adobe RGB as untagged with a color profile, showing their colors incorrectly.
    Metadata
    Major Problems
    [U] The File > Write Keyword Tag command doesn’t create or update .XMP sidecars for Nikon D300 or D80 .NEF raw files (but it does for Canon CR2 raw files).
    The PSE 8 Write Keyword Tag command now gives a warning when you try to invoke it on a D300 .NEF raw file. Why PSE can write sidecars for Canon but not Nikon raw files is a mystery – it’s no harder to handle one than the other.
    [U] File > Write Keyword Tags and Properties fails to write the map location (GPS coordinates) of TIFFs (tested with TIFFs produced by the PSE Editor and the Nikon Coolscan V, Nikon Coolscan 5000, and Epson 4490 scanners).
    [U] File > Write Keyword Tags doesn’t write the map location (GPS coordinates) into the .xmp sidecar files of Nikon D80 or Canon G9 raw photos.
    [U] The Organizer ignores correctly formatted EXIF GPS locations in some files that many other programs can read without trouble; this may be because the EXIF is encoded in little-endian byte order.
    [U] New dates set by Edit > Adjust Date and Time sometimes get silently lost.
    See http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Date/times_of_files for details and workarounds.
    [U] Edit > Adjust Date and Time > Shift To New Starting Date And Time and > Shift By Set Number Of Hours writes the time in UTC rather than local time, as required by the standard, causing other tools to show the wrong date/time.
    [U] In Thumbnail View, the Organizer incorrectly orders files that have unknown time. For example, it will show a file dated 12/25/1976 8:00 PM PST after a file dated 12/26/1976 (unknown time) on a computer in time zone PST.
    [U] If you set a file's date/time fields to all unknown with Edit > Adjust Date And Time, the value of EXIF:DateTimeOriginal isn't cleared by File > Write Keyword Tag.
    [U] Edit > Adjust Date and Time doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time when setting date/times many decades ago, e.g. October 5, 1961 12:00 PM.
    [U] When setting the Organizer’s date/time for imported photos containing EXIF:DateTimeOriginal but not XMP:DateTimeOriginal, PSE 7 doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time in years prior to 2007, e.g. October 31, 2006 12:00 PM.
    Minor Problems
    [F] The Properties – Metadata window shows the wrong value for Date Time Original when the month, day, or time is unknown.
    [F] When you save an edited photo as a new file but not in a version set, the edited version picks up the date/time and caption of the original but not the keyword tags, star rating, or notes.
    Now, the edited version picks up date/time, caption, notes, and keyword tags, but not the star rating, which could be charitably interpreted as a plausible design decision.
    [U] Deselecting the option Use “Last Modified” Date If EXIF Date Is Not Found does not work – the last-modified date is always used for an imported file that doesn’t contain an EXIF date.
    [U] Edit > Adjust Date and Time applied to a file with time “unknown” decrements the date by one day.
    [U] With the Import EXIF Caption option turned off, captions pre-existing in a file’s EXIF:ImageDescription metadata field reappear in the Organizer after invoking the Full Editor.
    Searching
    Major Problems
    [U] The timeline doesn’t correctly display date ranges spanning many years.
    [U] Using the Keyword Tags pane, you can no longer exclude a parent category from a search, e.g. exclude all photos tagged with any tag in the People category.
    The User Guide gives two examples of how to use category exclusion that just don’t work in PSE 6, 7, or 8.  Interestingly, you can almost work around this by doing a text search of “not <category tag>”, e.g. “not People”.   But this will also exclude photos that happen to have the word “people” in their filenames, captions, or notes, probably not what you want.  You can also use the text query “not tag:<category tag>”, .e.g. “not tag:places”, but this will exclude all tags containing “places” as part of their name – there is no way to get an exact match of a tag name.
    [U] Find > By History > Imported On sorts the photo dates alphabetically, rather than by date/time.
    When the results first display, they are now sorted by Imported From then (correctly) by Date/Time. However, if you click on the Date/Time column header to sort by that column, the dates are sorted alphabetically (incorrectly).
    [U] Find > By History > Imported On takes a couple of minutes on a large catalog, making the command almost useless.
    [U] Find > By History > Imported On shows a scary message “Deleting Keyword Tags” that is apparently harmless.
    [U] Searching with the Find Bar for “1 star and lower” doesn’t show photos with 0 stars.
    Find > By Details > Rating Is Lower Than 1 Star does work.
    [U] Searching for “0 stars only” doesn’t work for photos in a catalog converted from PSE 5.
    [U] Searching with date ranges doesn’t properly handle time “unknown”.
    Minor Problems
    [U] The Show All button sometimes doesn’t appear if you quickly type a query into the Search text box and hit Enter.
    [U] Setting a date range and then excluding two tags from the search clears the date range.
    [U] Show All doesn’t clear a date range set by Find > Set Date Range (can be very confusing).
    [U] Save Search Criteria As Smart Album isn’t available if a date range has been set but no other search criteria have been.
    [U] When searching, you can exclude a keyword tag and then include an album, but you can’t do it in the other order.
    User Interface
    Major Problems
    [?] On 1024x768 displays, and sometimes at higher resolutions, the Editor Print window is positioned to perfectly obscure the scroll bar of the drop-down list of printer profiles, leading people to think their printer’s profiles aren’t available.
    I can’t reproduce this in PSE 8.  The Editor’s Print dialog is all rearranged.  But this bug struck some people and not others, so it may be still lurking.
    [U] The menu bars don’t display if you have changed the screen DPI to be larger than 96 (as many people do on today’s ubiquitous high-res displays).
    Adobe should be embarrassed about this, given that more and more computers are shipping preconfigured with higher DPIs.  See http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#The_Organizers_Menu_Bar_ doesnt_show for a workaround.
    Minor Problems
    [F] Copying a paragraph from Microsoft Word and pasting it into the Notes field of a keyword tag causes some of the spaces between words to be deleted.
    [F] In the full Editor, if at least one open photo is minimized to the Project Bin, Ctrl-Tab no longer cycles through the open windows.
    [F] The Editor window can’t be resized the standard Windows way by grabbing any edge, just the lower-right corner.
    Well, almost – you can grab the left, right, and bottom edges but not the top.
    [F] Alt doesn’t underline the shortcut letters of top-level menu items in the Full Editor (but it does in the Organizer).
    Both the Editor and Organizer don’t show the underline until you let up on the Alt key, whereas other Windows program show the underline when you first press the Alt key.
    [F] The width of the Editor's Palette Bin can't be adjusted by dragging the left edge, as you can with all the other similar panes (Project Bin, Organizer Bin, Map View).
    [U] In the Properties window of Full Screen mode, if you click in the Notes field and do Ctrl-A to select all the text, then click in the Caption field and do Ctrl-A to select its text, the notes remain highlighted.
    [U] In the Organizer, Help > System Info reports the wrong amount for “Built-in Memory” on computers with more than 2GB of installed memory.  (The command reports the correct amount in the Editor.)
    [U] The setting of View > Show Borders Around Thumbnails isn’t remembered after you restart PSE.
    [U] Ctrl-A to select all text doesn’t work in the text fields of the Properties window.
    Interestingly, you can use ctrl-A in the text fields of the full-screen mode Properties window.
    [U] Dialogs in the Editor sometimes bounce back when you try to move them.
    [U] Dates are shown by Display > Import Batch as 2\20\2008 rather than 2/20/2008.
    [U] In Create > Slide Show > Slide Show Preferences dialog, you can't use backspace or delete to clear the text in the Static and Transition Duration fields -- you need to select the text and then type over the selection (non-standard Windows behavior).
    [U] Escape doesn’t close the full-screen-mode Properties dialog.
    [U] You can’t use the Windows Explorer Tile command to tile the PSE Organizer and Editor windows.
    The Editor can now be tiled by Windows Explorer and other window managers, but the Organizer still can’t.
    Slide Shows
    Major Problems
    [F] The duration of a video clip included in a Slide Show is set to the default duration, not the length of the video clip, and right-click Edit Duration doesn’t change the clip’s duration.
    PSE now sets the duration to the length of the clip.  You can’t edit the duration, though – you can invoke Edit Duration, but PSE ignores the new value.
    [U] An audio caption attached to a photo isn’t imported into a slide show even though the option Include Audio Captions as Narration is selected.
    For an individual slide, you can give the Use Existing Audio Caption command to import that photo’s existing audio caption.
    Editor
    Minor Problems
    [F] The Editor crashes if you invoke Quick Fix and use just one Touch Up tool (e.g. Whiten Teeth) and then save the file (but your changes are correctly saved).
    [U] The File > Save For Web command doesn’t remember the last settings (e.g. file format and quality) after your restart the Editor.
    For a workaround, see http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Allow_Save_For.

    John,
    Firstly, my apologies for the length of this post – it has been fermenting a while.  For those in a hurry I have split it into two sections – the first contains some general comments on the situation with PSE (v 7 in my case) and Adobe (as I see it) and the second contains a list of issues that I have encountered and some suggestions for improvement.  As with you, my comments are largely directed at the Organiser module within PSE.
    Part 1:
    Before going any further I’d like to say what an excellent job you’ve done in cataloguing, understanding and in many cases providing solutions to a number of bugs.  Adobe should be paying you a hefty sum for doing this work.  It’s a welcome change from a large percentage of what you read in blogs and forums to see things dealt with systematically, objectively and in an informed way.
    I’m less impressed with Adobe’s approach.  In my opinion, if you choose not to provide program updates to your customers (i.e. you get what you bought in the box and that’s it) then you have a moral obligation to make sure that what you sell is as robust and free of bugs as possible.
    I would be very surprised if they were not well aware of the comments you have made (if they aren’t then that would indicate an appalling failure of their ability to process feedback).  The fact that they have not, in subsequent releases, dealt with all of the issues that have been highlighted is not good.  I would go further and suggest that it is actually a breach of fair trading practice and disingenuous to sell the product as “fit for purpose” knowing these bugs are still in place.
    It’s unreasonable to expect software to be absolutely faultless, and this is why the issuing of updates is a much “fairer” system.  The problem, I think, with Adobe’s approach is that to entice new customers to each release they need to provide new features.  A natural consequence of this is that there is a temptation to prioritise development of new features rather than providing solutions to existing issues.  There is no incentive for Adobe to change this state of affairs for as long as customers are purchasing their products.  In this respect one of the problems is that many of the reviewers to whom prospective customers go will rely on first impressions and will not uncover many of the issues.  Adobe may be comfortable with this situation (and on relying on the reflected aura of Photoshop) but their product is not cheap and there is plenty of scope for competitors to provide a more robust, dependable product at cheaper price.  With free applications like Picasa they will need to be very careful they don’t drop the ball.
    Don’t get me wrong I think the concept of PSE organiser is excellent (I actually prefer it to my experience of Lightroom), it is the quality of execution that I have issues with.
    My first experience of PSE was version 3 and this was positive enough for me to purchase PSE 7.  However, my biggest disappointment with PSE 7, because to me it is fundamental, has been the quality of rendering images in full screen mode.  Yours is the first comment I have seen that comments on the appearance of “jaggies” when displaying images in PSE.  My understanding is that this relates to the anti-aliasing which is carried out when converting from image to display resolution and the level to which this smoothes out gradients in hue, saturation and luminance.  I never observed this problem is PSE 3.  Although the degree of anti-aliasing is a subjective preference, I was deeply disappointed and still find it hard to believe that free or bundled software (picture manager, windows picture viewer, etc) can manage this when PSE 7 can’t.
    Anyway, I’m not sure how to illicit a change from Adobe.  One way is to write the sort of rant I have above although I doubt this will make much difference.  In any case keep up the good work and hopefully something will come of it.
    Part 2:
    Some issues I’ve encountered:
    Migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 – change in directory structure means that the “documents and settings” part of the user directory path in XP (i.e. c:\documents and settings\<<username>>\etc.) is now a shortcut which redirects you to the new location for user files which is c:\users\<<username>> \etc.  If you are migrating from an old XP machine to a new Windows 7 one, you’ve kept your username the same and you have tried to retain the same directory structure then PSE 7 will still find files in your catalogue with the old style path.  However, it will not recognise duplicates if you accidentally re-import the same files now they are on your Windows 7 machine.  My workaround for this is to use an external file manager (e.g. windows explorer) to change the name of the directory that contains all of your photos.  This causes PSE 7 to fail to resolve the path locations.  You can then can select the relevant files and reconnect using the reconnect facility (File-Reconnect-Missing Files);
    Watched folders are lost for any drive other than C when PSE 7 is closed and then reopened;
    Duplicate files are not recognised and can be imported if they are not on the C drive (i.e. on an external drive);
    Selecting a category selects all of the keyword tags/subcategories beneath it but excluding it does not exclude all of the keyword tags/subcategories beneath it; however, both selecting and excluding a sub-category selects and excludes the tags/sub categories beneath it;
    Searches bring back the entire version set or stack even if only one of the files within meets the search criteria;
    The instant search facility will sometimes decide that a number typed in is a date and will not find some files you would expect it to e.g. those where the number typed in is part of the filename rather than a date;
    Anti-aliasing is insufficient – jaggies appear on jpegs displayed at certain zoom level.  Interestingly this does not seem to occur if a jpeg has been created from a raw file through PSE 7 rather than an external application (at least for the camera I have).
    Some suggestions:
    Find duplicates facility;
    Sort by filename and other file data;
    Hide directories in the folder directory pane of the folder view if they contain no imported files – in PSE3 this was the only option and was actually quite useful to confirm that there were no imported files in a certain location (e.g. if e:\...etc was not in the list then you knew that you had no imported files located on the e:\ drive).  It would be good to have this a display option.
    Allow filters to be applied only to selected files;
    Allow files to be rotated in the organiser without actually resaving them as a rotated file.

  • What file extension should I see after doing a complete PSE backup?

    I repetedly have had problems getting back a catalog after getting a new computer, getting an additional hard drive, etc.  So...when I do a complete back up, what file name extension should I see, so that I am POSITIVE that I can get my catalog back later, with all tags? Or is that too much to expect?
    (1) For instance, after doing a complete backup recently, I only see a "My Catalog.psb" file in the folder.  When I go to get the file loaded back into my new PSE 9 program (no matter if I "restore" or "convert" or whatever) from my old PSE 7, PSE will only look for a .tly file, so I  can't even choose that .psb file.  Also, my tags are usually nested within subcategories.  Can I get those nests back, too?
    (2)  I have given up and re-imported all of my photos, which at least brings in a list of tags that are on each photo.  But,I have to rebuild all the subcategories and tags underneath those subcategories.  UGH.
    So, what do I look for to make sure I have a correct backup file, and will I get everything back like I see it?  Or will it look different? Please post easy instructions - I am not an expert with PSE (because if I was, I wouldn't still be having the same problems year after year when I update PSE).

    Done!!  It took lots of effort, and lots of trial and error, but I figured
    out what I had been doing wrong...I had been confusing CATALOG with a FULL
    BACKUP.  To me, they were one and same but now I know they aren't.   Who
    knew?
    For those who read this thread in the future who only convert a catalog once
    every two or three years, like me (which means it is not very easy to
    remember what to do) here's what I found out when I was trying to load a
    PSE7 catalog into my new PSE9 program. (Please correct me if I am wrong
    about anything.)
    1)  Before you do anything, I suggest that you make a Full Backup of the
    catalog of  the older PSE program (the catalog you will soon import into to
    the newer PSE program) .  This will make it easier on you, rather than
    converting several incremental backups.
    2)  Open up the newest version of your PSE, holding down the Shift key as
    the Elements Organizer opens up.  This will open up the Elements Catalog
    Manager.
    3)  In the Catalog Manager go to "Convert" (top right corner)
    ...You may be lucky and automatically see the catalog you used in your older
    program listed here.  If so, skip to #8.
    I wasn't so lucky, so I had to do the following...
    4)  Click on "Find More Catalogs".
    5)  Navigate to the Adobe Photoshop Elements folder (usually located at
    C/Program Data/Adobe/Photoshop Elements),
    6)  Now here's the important part:
    ...Double click on the folder you see with the NAME OF THE CATALOG YOU WISH
    TO IMPORT (the catalog used in your older program).  When you do this, it
    will find your most up to date backup.
    ...Do not click on the folder that has your latest backup in it (it won't
    do anything no matter how much you try). THE BACKUP IS NOT YOUR CATALOG.  To
    me it seemed logical that it was, but to the Photoshop Elements program it
    was not...how was I to know?
    7)  After you double click on the folder with the name of the catalog you
    wish to import, you will see a line pop into the "Convert Catalog" box.
    8)  Highlight the line with the name of your older catalog in the "Convert
    Catalog" box, and click on "Convert" at the bottom of that box. Name your
    new catalog. Your tags, nesting, and photos should now all import into your
    newer version of Photoshop Elements.
    Finally...success for me!  Thank you SO MUCH for all of your help.  It
    steered me in the right direction, and taught me a few new tricks as I
    researched my problem.  I really appreciate your help!
    Note to Adobe Help Manual Writers:
    If only someone had written clearer directions on how to do this, I might
    have saved several days of anguish.  Please do not assume we know and
    understand your lingo.  Please do not assume that things will automatically
    load. Tell us what to do if they don't...AND what to do if our navigation
    to what we think is the right place doesn't work.  *A couple of sentences
    like this would have helped tremendously: "A catalog is not a backup.  When
    you navigate, make sure you are clicking on a catalog folder with the name
    of the catalog you wish to convert.  Don't click on a backup folder because
    that won't mean anything to the program."  *Please assume we will make
    mistakes, and when you see a pattern of people making the same mistake
    (having trouble importing catalogs, for instance), use that information to
    write better directions.

    But I have noticed the error is because of this line as below,
    Executing the dbmcli command: `medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/1 /var/opt/omni/tmp/MAX.BACKDP-Data[2].1 PIPE DATA 0 8'.
    Actually it should execute the dbmcli command as
    medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/1 /var/opt/omni/tmp/MAX.BACKDP-Data[2].1 PIPE DATA 0 8 NO NO \" \" "BACK"
    But I donu2019t know where to make changes so that when I start the backup through DP GUI it should use backup tool as u201CBACKu201D
    But same DP backup specification is working through MaxDB Database Manager GUI.
    Any solution appreciatedu2026
    Thanks,

    Hi Natalia,
    Thanks for the reply...Please find the answer as below,
    -> What is the version of Data Protector?
    Data Protector 5.5
    -> What is the version of the database?
    SAP MaxDB 7.6
    -> According your information you could use the DBMGUI to create the medium of u201CBACKu201D type and create the databackup using this medium. Correct?
    Yes
    The problems are with Data Protector GUI, not with MAXDB or DBMGUI. Correct?
    Yes
    Please let me know where to make any changes or any enviornment settings to be done in Data Protector GUI so that it will use the medium "BACK" as backup tool while i start the backup through Data Protector GUI.
    Thanks,
    Subba

  • Jes Deinterlacer: when to use it?

    I saw a tutorial movie on YTube about slow motion in FCPX. In this movie JES interlacer is used before Retime - Optical flow. But I saw I can get same result (maybe not just the same?...) directly using Retime in FCPX. Any advice?
