PSE Elements 9 organizer problen

I have just installed PSE 9 on a Vista machine, and am having a lot of trouble getting the organizer to run. The welcome screen also does not run. I can get the editor to run by going into the x86 folder and executing the editor directly. From there if I try to get to the organizer, the programm crashes with the message " PSE Elements has stopped working" The same error occurs if I try to execute the welcoe screen from the editor.The first time I installed PSE (9 it worked fine and contonued for about a week. Then the error occurred.I have even gone so far as to reinstall Vista, and itran for about a week again, and then crashed with the same message Details on the crash list APPCRASH, with the faulting module AMTSERVICES.DLL I have installed PSE9 about 10 times under various configurations, but no success. I have seen many references regarding this problem, but none seem to offer a real solution.
I would like to thank anyony in advance for any help they may offer.

Hello,
AMTServices.dll has to do with product licensing. It would be very strange if licensing causing an issue with the Organizer or the Welcome Screen. However, I would suggest that system security is the most likely culprit here, whether anti-virus, disk permissions, or some other form of system protection that is limiting what the application can do when attempting to launch. You may want to try things like disabling all background processes and/or running in a new user account (you may find with this second step that you again can use the application for a short time before the problem returns). The question remains "What is changing that is causing the application to stop working?"

PSE Elements 7.0 Organizer

I have been using PSE Elements 7.0 for 7 months with no issues. Tonight I had been using for a few hours straight and then closed out and went back in with a Windows Error stating problem loading Organizer windows will close.
I can get into Editor but that is it.
What is the easiest solution?
THanks!

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Organizer might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

PSE 9: "Enregistrer dans Elements Organizer" ne fonctionne pas ??

Après avoir modifié une photo jpg dans PSE 9, quand je l'enregistre en ayant coché "Enregistrer dans Elements Organizer" et "Enregistrer dans un jeu de versions avec l'original", dans l'Organiseur elle n'appparait pas, alors qu'elle a bien été créée dans le répertoire de la photo originale.
Le problème est le même avec "Enregistrer dans Elements Organizer" et "Enregistrer en tant que copie"
Tout ça fonctionnait très bien hier. Je n'arrive pas à trouver ce que j'ai pu modifier sans doute sans m'en rendre compte.
Merci de votre aide.

Windows 7 will not recognize PSE 8 Organizer on External Drive

Hello:
Background:
We purchased a Dell Inspiron 560 with Windows 7 from BestBuy to replace the Hewlett Packard Pavilion with Windows XP that was showing problems. My present photo software includes Photo Shop Elements 8 and Nikon NX2. (I intend to use PSE 8 for Nikon NEF (RAW) files and NX2 for JPEG files.) Geek Squad (GS) transfered the information that was on the HP hard drive to the Dell. All the icons now show on the Dell except for iTunes. I also gave GS the Photoshop and Nikon disks in case they needed to reload the programs.
The photos are stored on a Western Digital (WD) external drive that was also given to GS to test the transfer. I organized my files according to the "master programs", e.g., Adobe Photoshop 8 and Nikon NX2 with subfolders for the photos themselves. Everything worked fine on the former HP computer.
The situation:
The PSE 8 Edit and NX2 appears to work but not the PSE 8 Organizer. All folders and subfolders and information in the subfolders are present on the WD drive. The Nikon software opens and edits all photos including the photos stored in the Adobe Photoshop 8 folder in the WD drive. I can open a single photo in PSE 8 Edit. But I cannot activate PSE 8 Organizer where the folders and subfolders are. When I attempt to activate the Organizer following the prompts, the following statement appears, "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated." However, I can access them using the NX2 software.
So what do I have to do to activate or reactivate the Organizer? I could transfer the files from the Adobe folder to the Nikon folder using drag and drop, reinstall PSE 8, and then reintstall the files on the Adobe folder.
Or is there a better way?
Please help.
Mp

Without knowing exactly what Geek Squad actually did, its hard to say how to fix this.
Ideally, that way to fix this is to do the following: you would create a backup of your catalog on the old computer. Do this with the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog. Tell PSE to save the backup to the external drive. Then connect the external drive to the new computer, and run the Organizer command File->Restore Catalog.

Photoshop Elements Organizer 11 crashes due to deadlock in the thread wait chain when creating thumbnails for *.mts (AVCHD) files

Hi,
the Elements Organizer 11 creates a deadlock in the wait chain when generating thumbnails for more than a handful of MTS (AVCHD) files.
After importing AVCHD files from my Canon video camera, the organizer using default settings always crashes. I was able to narrow down the problem to be caused by thumbnail generating.
After deactivating the automatic generation of thumbnails, the organizer does not crash any more upon launching .
Of course, working without thumbnails is not very practical. The next resort is manual trigger of thumbnail generation by selecting "update thumbnail".
If I manually trigger updating of thumbnails for files one by one, then it works for quite many files before crashing again.
Selecting thumbnail update for multiple files at once has a much higher likelihood to crash.
This does not seem to be related to particular file contents: a file that leads to crashing once may be flawlessly get a thumbnail created at the next attempt.
The Windows event report looks as follows (German language Windows):

Occasionally, a different module is listed as erroneous instead of msvcrt.dll.
My questions:
- has anyone experienced the same problem?
- is this a known issue with Organizer 11?
- is the issue solved with Organizer 12?
I have Premiere Elements 11, Photoshop Elements 11 installed and not experienced any other issues with these applications.
Playback of said AVCHD (*.mts) files works flawlessly, i.e. I do not have any codec or performance issue on my PC.
Deactivation of anti-virus software has no significant effect. I have excluded video directories from scanning anyways.
Have deactivated face recognition, visual search and smart tagging in the organizer.
Have also disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS.
Using Windows XP compatibility settings for PSE somewhat improved the stability, but did not completely eliminate crashes.
Additionally, it signnificantly slows down thumbnail generation and a progress indication window becomes visible during thumbnail generation, which is barely noticable in native Win 8.1 mode.
Officially, Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1.
There is a knowledgebase article related to Elements 6, which recommends to disable multi-threading and to enforce execution of Organizer on more than one core.
This reduces the problem a little bit, but thumbnailing more than a handful of files still leads to crashing.
By means of the task manager, I analyzed the wait chain of the process PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe:
Every time the fault occurs, it is caused by a deadlock in the wait chain.
For example:
PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
-- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932
---- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540

Lightroom versus PhotoShop Elements Organizer and Bridge

This is directed to the Adobe Developer Team
I hope someone of the Developer team is reading this!!
For my understanding the three products out of one house (PhotoShop Elements Organizer, Bridge and Lightroom) doing about the same, should ...
work the same (same idea, same behaviour, organizing by path/subfolders instead of cataloges etc.)
maintain the same database and files (LR should recognize the collections from BR and Vice Versa, use the same cache files etc.) and should
be compatible to each other (e.g. Tags, Collections etc)
Actually I suggest ADOBE
to eliminate Organizer and integrate the good functions into BRIDGE (e.g. albums, upload to flickr, webpage generation etc)
give BRIDGE as the free of charge picture organizer to PS Elements and to PS CS
change LIGHTROOM into an payable upgrade of BRIDGE with enhanced functionality of the free of charge BRIDGE, (which can work as a stand-alone software as it does today
better integration of PSE, PS CS into Bridge/Lightroom (e.g. Panaorama function opens only PS CS but the version of PSE works much better, so I want to choose in the menu of Bridge/Lightroom)
I am really struggling with the three of them.
Beside that I suggest to get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom with it's import/export and synchronization needs and instead use or at least integrate the idea of BRIDGE to get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders, as this is anyhow how the way pictures are stored already for most of us... I asume. I doubt that anybody just throw all files into one big subdirectory and get the organized into cataloges. But please keep collections as they are helpful to quickly collect some pictures to commonly work on them. by drag & drop. The Catalogues of LR drives me crazy but LR have a lot of nice functions (e.g. Webupload interfaces to flickr and others, nice noice reduction, nice albums and webpage functions, etc.)
Thanks
Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year
Georg
PS: Please all of you comment your experience and opinion on this matter ... I am interested what you think about it.

Hi George,
Whereas Bridge and Photoshop Elements (and most non-LR users) base their organisation on the file / folder structure, Lightroom uses files / folders simply for storage - the catalog is used for organisation. This 'catalog based approach' provides far more flexibility, both in organisation, and in recording a complete, fully-reversible record of all edits made to each photograph.
To suggest that Adobe "get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom" and "get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders" would remove almost ALL advantages Lightroom has over Bridge & PS Elements combined. To fully appreciate Lightroom, you need to appreciate that files and folders are not the only way to organise photos. Why not watch a few of the Adobe Lightroom Tutorial videos? This link below takes you to a video explaining about the Catalog;
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
However, if you really want Adobe to hear your views, why not raise a Feature request with them, at this link below;
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I'm sure if you call your feature request 'Remove Catalog from Lightroom, and organise by Folders instead', it'll get noticed, as will any forum posts of the same name...
Cheers,
Alan

Lightroom vs Photoshop Elements Organizer

I don't know Lightroom, but a friend suggested it as a solution to my problem, so here goes:
I have a subscription to CC (and have used Creative Suite for years). I use CC at work, but for my personal, non-work photos, I have always used Photoshop Elements Organizer, because I have never found its equal -- as an organizer. Also, I have invested a massive amount of effort into tagging every photo (about 30,000 images, more than 10 years' worth) with keywords.
I have no interest in Photoshop Elements' other features. I have CC for anything that PSE does that I care to do.
However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
So here's the question: Can I use Lightroom (or Bridge, perhaps) as a substitute for PSE Organizer? Does either program import PSE Organizer's catalogs? Because unless I can import what I've got, no other organizer will do it for me.
I'd also consider another organizer product if it could import PSE catalogs, but I'm hoping there's a little gem of a program already in CC that I'm not aware of that will do the trick.
TIA.

I don't use the face recognition tags in PSE, but I think that those will not transfer to Lightroom, as there is no way to accomodate face recognition tags in Lightroom.
Earlier you said
However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
so why keep paying for PSE upgrades? There are rarely any new "organizing" features in PSE. Just keep using the version you have, you can probably use it for many years until your operating system won't support older versions of PSE. My PSE 5 still runs under Windows 7 and I have heard that PSE 5 runs under Windows 8.

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?

Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

Elements Organizer (photoshop elements 11) stops working and shuts the program down.

I have had Photoshop Elements for several years - first used version 3   then 8 (lost in the 2010 Nashville Flood) bought 9 last year) - then 11 purchased in Dec 2012.
I had trouble installing 11 (Premier and photoshop kept locking up in the install process)   finally installed after 8 hours of problems when I did a clean boot uninstalled Virus protection etc.
Very Frustrating. Installing on HP Pavilion purchased after the flood - 3gigs ram - windows 7 operating system. I have over 2000 pics and HD video clips on the hard drive and during the final installation the files were (converted) according to the install
I tried the "Online Chat" and was cut off
I've been unable to use the new Organizer since it shuts down.   Tried several times over several days with the same results.
Today I transfered a number of photos (jpeg) from Zip drive to the hard drive - followed the instructions on page 9 of the all too brief booklet and
- the pics came up on the screen --HOORAY
UNFORTUNATELY THE CELEBRATION WAS PREMATURE - Organizer stopped AGAIN   HELP!!!

1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Organizer.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete settings file; click Yes. It will open with default preferences.
Solution 3:
Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
Hold down the Shift key and click Organizer . Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
Select your catalog and click Repair. Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails. Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
Please delete the following files from the location : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\9.0\Organizer
psa.prf
status.dat
Now go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\ and run the exe PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe with Admin rights.
If you are on MAC, you will get the files psa.prf and status.dat at ~/library/app support/adobe/elements organizer/9.0/organizer. Post deleting them try launching Organizer.
try and let me know your comments.

Why do I get this error message when I open Organizer in Photoshop Elements 11 "Elements Organizer has stopped working"? My only option is to Close Program so I am effectively locked out of my photo catalogue. I have reinstalled the program to no avail.

Elements Organizer 9 does not install with PS Elements

I have installed Photoshop Elements Version 9 on a Windows 7 64 bit system. Photoshop Elements installs and works good... but the Organizer does not install and of course will not load either. I have uninstalled installed and reinstalled several times... still no luck.
I can tell it is not installed because when I look in the Program Files (x86) under Adobe... the Photoshop Elements 9 folder is there but the Elements Organizer 9 is not there.
How can I get organizer installed?
Thanks...
Rod

Follow the below link, remove all the entries for PSE 9 from the machine and then try to install again. This time the organizer should get installed.

Having trouble updating Elements Organizer 11

Having trouble updating Elements Organizer 11. I started it using Administrator priveleges, disabled firewall but keep getting "The update server is not responding. The server might be offline". I am using Windows 8.1 x64. My current version is 11.0.0.0. I read that you may need to go into Adapter Settings and disable:
Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter
Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter
but I didn't see those listed! Help!

Very frustrated! What do you mean by "focusing on my host files"? Every other reputable software company I know of has direct downloadable updates in case their "update manager" doesn't work, so I'm not sure why Version 11 of PSE doesn't have this capability. I need to get my software updated! Please help me (and I'm not the only one) get this working so I can move on to greater things. Please be specific (I'm pretty good with computers so don't be shy).

How to *really* disable Color Management in PSE 7 Organizer?

After much experimenting with old versions of PSE (2 and 3 specifically) and my Canon MP530 inkjet, I have found I get the best results by disabling PSE Color Management and using the Canon printer driver to manage colors. (Even when using the supplied printer profiles in PSE, the results are too dark and typically have a heavy orange color cast.)
Now with PSE 7, I can print from the Editor, tell PSE to let the printer manage colors and get decent results. However, in the Organizer, even if Color Management is turned off in Preferences, the Print dialog box forces you to select a printer color profile, and the resulting prints are terrible.
So, is there any way to tell PSE 7 Organizer that you want your printer to manage colors? Without this option, all the printing features in Organizer are worthless to me. Thanks for the help.

Found a possible answer from the archive ...
John Rolfe Ellis - 8:43pm Jan 13, 08 PST (#1 of 4)
Unfortunately, there isn't an option for letting the printer manage colors
in the Organizer. In PSE 6, you can either select the option Print Space:
Same as Source, which sends the photo to the printer *without* the color
profile needed by the printer to manage color, or you can select a printer
profile and have PSE 6 manage color. (Thanks to Colin at Elements Village
for clarifying this for me.)
So you have three options:
1. Print only from the Editor with the printer managing color.
2. Print from the Organizer using Print Space: Same as Source and configure
your printer to assume the profile of your photos. For example, if your
photos all have the profile sRGB, then configure your printer to assume that
photos are in sRGB. The equivalent setting in the PSE 6 Editor Print is
Color Handling: No Color Management. The details depend on your photos and
your printer, of course, but most consumer cameras produce sRGB and most
consumer printers assume sRGB by default. (But evidently, either your
photo with the yellowish cast isn't sRGB or your printer isn't assuming
sRGB, so this approach may not work for you.)
3. Have PSE 6 manage color by selecting the appropriate printer profile in
the Organizer and Editor Print commands and turning off color management in
your printer. If you get this all configured properly, this will give you
the assurance of knowing who is managing color, but it does take more effort
on your part. You need to read your printer driver documentation carefully
to get it configured properly, and this often involves going to the vendor's
support knowledgebase to get the necessary documentation.

PSE 7 Organizer crash/stall/fail

I've been using PSE 7 Organizer in Windows XP without problems for quite awhile. Recently, the program locks up on the first image in the library. The hourglass shows and it says "generating thumbnails," yet nothing seems to happen. I generally have to hard exit the program (using the Task Manager). Please help.

HI Alex,
Try the following:
1). Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0" and rename the 'Organizer' folder to 'Organizer_OLD'.
2). Now, go to the catalog location and move the 'thumb.5.cache' file to the desktop. The default location for your catalog can possibly be either of these:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Username>\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<Catalog Name>
Or,
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<Catalog Name>.
Hope this helps!
