PSE8 Organizer and PSE9 Editor?

I've given up on PSE9 Organizer but I would like to use PSE9 Editor.
Is is possible, without having to manually load each edited file into the PSE8 Organizer?
So far as I can see it just isn't possible to get PSE8 Organizer to acknowledge the PSE9 Editor as an alternative editor, either in its own right or by changing .exe file names to try and fool it.
I can disable PSE8 Editor, get the file from PSE8 Organizer into PSE9 Editor, edit it, save it, (or Save As), but it won't appear into the PSE8 oganizer unless I manually import it.

Yes it can be done. This is how I did it.
Copy the PSE Editor application to another folder such as My Documents.
Rename the file - I called mine PhotoEditing
Then move the renamed file back into the Photoshop Elements 9 folder
It will be an exact duplicate of the original installation (shown with the red arrow)
Open the PSE8 Organizer and click:
Edit >>Preferences >> Editing>
Check the box - Use A Supplementary Editing Application
Then click browse and navigate to your renamed file.
Next time you right click on a thumbnail in organizer your new editor will show up in the dropdown list.

  • PSE8 Organizer with PSE9 Editor

    I'm trying to use the PSE8 Organizer with the  PSE9 Editor (don't like what they did to folder view in PSE9 Organizer).   I've tried to do it two ways: by setting the PSE9 Editor as a  supplemental editor and by replacing all the files in the Photoshop  Elements 8.0 directory with the files from the Photoshop Elements 9  directory.
    The supplemental editor method results in:
    a new  version of the file being opened is created in      the organizer each  time and that file is what is pulled into the editor (it's named  _edited_# and added to a version set of the original each time)
    can only get into edit from the edit menu  (ie,      supplemental editor doesn't appear in right click drop down) -  can learn      to live with this if item 1 can be corrected.
    Files don't get locked in the Organizer when they get      opened - can learn to live with this, too
    Replacing the files in the directory results in
    The  PSE9 editor opens when selecting "Edit with      Photoshop Elements"  from right click drop down (or from Edit menu) but it doesn't bring a       file into the editor.
    If I use the open command from the editor, it brings      the file in but doesn't lock it
    Same problem with not recognizing the Organizer as      above.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Note: I poked around in the registry a little but nothing jumped out at  me immediately (adding the key for "CurrentCatalogPath" in the 9.0  section of Elements Organizer under the CURRENT_USER software key  stopped the message that the organizer wasn't being used but still did  not allow me the options to save changes in the Elements Organizer or  add to version set)

    I agree with your view point about PSE 8 Organizer. I also like it better for the same reason.. My work around is having 2 monitors. I keep PSE8 organizer on the left and PSE9 Editor on the right. Then I drag across. My catalog paths and settings in Both organizers is the same. Edited items from PSE9 will show up in 8....make sure your "watched folders" settings are set and the same in both organizers. Its a bit clunky...but it works for me...but I'm just a new guy to PSE.

  • My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.     Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom

    My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.  
    Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom of  Editor screen, from the icon on the MacBook Air dock (OS 10.10.2),  nor from the file in applications located with Finder.
    I have tried without success to access Organizer after turning off and on the scanner, turning off and on the computer, loading a fresh copy of PSE12 from the CD, and restoring default preferences.  I have searched on line for other options but not  found any. 
    Can you help me?

  • Does elements 11 include organizer and photo editor

    does elements 11 have organizer and photo editor

    Hi,
    Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor is now available on Mac App Store to download. It is Editor only and does not have Organizer similar to PSE 10 Editor on Mac App Store.
    Some key points are here - http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/adobe-photoshop-elements-11-editor-available-on-mac-app- store/

  • How do I make Organizer and Editor open at the same time?

    I'm new to PSE 10 and want to know how to make Organizer and Editor open at the same time. I can get the Organizer up, but have to pick out a photo and click on Fix: Full Photo Edit to get Editor to open. Is that the only way to do it?
    Thanks,
    K

    Create Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor:
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

  • Elements Organizer and Editor Fonts Too Small

    Is Adobe ever going to fix this problem of the fonts not adjusting their size in both the organizer and the editor?  The only option to alter the font seems to be to switch to a "System Font", but that option doesn't work. It doesn't change the font size at all, even if you turn off Aero and set the system font to 125%, the menu fonts don't change. In short, the software is not Windows compliant, afte how many years that Adobe has been making a windows version of this ptogram?
    The default font size can't be read more than a foot or so away from the screen on today's pretty much standard 22" 1680x1050 LCD display. On top of that, who in their right mind thinks black text on a gray backgound effects 'contrast' rather than 'blend'?
    I've searched the internet regarding this problem, and it seems to have persisted through multiple versions of this software, but has gotten worse through versions 7, 8 and 9 based on user numerous posts. Actually, it looks like Adobe just doesn't plan on addressing the problem at all.
    Does anyone even get a response from Adobe when they post about this font issue? It doesn't look like it, as far as I can see.  

    That seems to be a reasonable explanation.  Since a thumbnail does not have as much information as the actual file, it shouldn't be surprising that visual difference exist.  I just wasn't expecting them to be quite so noticeable.

  • Elements 7 open just in editor, skip organizer and welcom screen

  • I am unable to open Organizer or Photo Editor this morning of elements 12 and don't know why.

    I am unable to open Organizer or Photo Editor in elements 12 this morning and don't know why.  Any ideas??

    OK,
    Good to hear that you are running at the moment.
    The causes for organizer and the editor to stop working are usually different. For both to be affected, I would tend to suspect disk space problems. Probably a good idea to check that you have plenty of free space.
    Please let us know if you have problems again and we can try troubleshooting.

  • APP CRASH in 7.0 upon Opening Organizer and Editor - Vista - Help!

    When I open my Photoshop Elements 7.0 Organizer, the pictures load and then I get a message that the program is closing due to APP CRASH.
    Any ideas why this may be happening?  Is there a limit on the number of photos in a catalog?  I can't imagine that I am over the limit on this.  We have gone through several troubleshooting recommendations including reinstalling the program and it is still crashing upon opening.  Now the Editor is crashing too!  Any ideas?  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 troubleshooting steps to try:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Organiz er_crashes
    Given that both the Organizer and the Editor are crashing, start with step 4, installing the licensing-service update, and if that doesn't help, try the others.  Even if you think you've tried something similar, repeat the step exactly as described.

  • PSE8 Organizer won't display new files

    After copying photo files into a folder, I opened PSE8 Organizer and imported the files.  PSE8 reported importing 578 photos.  I clicked to Show ALL.  Only the original 24 photos in the folder are displayed.
    I have tried rebuilding the catalog, and deleting and creating a new catalog.  Nothing seems to work.  The rebuilding of the catalog reported the files are there and do not need to be imported.  But PSE8 still won't display any but the original 24 files.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Edit > Visibility was set to Show All Files.  In Preferences, I unchecked all filter selections for Auto Analyze.  No effect.
    I have one folder with 3 .tiff files that PSE8 Organizer won't display.  Trying to import the files and PSE8 says they are there but PSE8 cannot display them.  No explanation.  Windows Photo Viewer and Picasa have no problem displaying them.
    I have deleted and made new catalogs with the same results for that folder.  I cannot figure out what is wrong with these files.  All other applications have no problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • PSE8 Organizer not automatically reading media card

    Hi,
    I have a client that is using PSE8 Organizer and all of a sudden it has stopped reading the media card automatically. My client believes this happened after an update by Adobe Updater.
    They say that it used to be a simple process of placing the card in the card reader and then a window would pop up where they would select the icon / program for PSE8, however the icon was missing and when clicking this link, my client was presented with a message saying that the link was broken. I advised my client to uninstall the program and then to reinstall, which has fixed this issue i.e. the icon and back and when clicking the link there is no message.
    However that is as far as it goes, the link doesn't produce any results and the media card is not read.
    If my client accesses the card as a folder through PSE8 Organizer then the images are shown, but again are not automatically loaded into the application.
    My client really would like the automatic function restored.
    Has anyone else had this problem and knows how to resolve it please?
    The machine is running Windows XP 32-bit SP3.
    The only oddity I can see is that the application is installed to the external hard drive as opposed to the normal internal hard drive. Would this cause problems with the application?
    Thanks,
    CliveSRT

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I have checked the setting that you mentioned and it is set to automatic. When inserting the card into the card reader we are again prompted to open the files with an application, which my client selects PSE8. However this is as far as we get as nothing else appears to happen.
    Thanks,
    Clive.

  • How can I make the thumbnail cursor in PSE8 organizer stay at the current position?

    Whenever I am browsing through the thumbnail view in PSE8 organizer and I delete, edit, or sometimes when I apply a tag or a filter, the cursor automatically repositions to the first thumbnail in the catalog or the folder after the operation is complete, resulting in me losing my place, having to find it again, etc. -- which is a huge incovenience considering I have over 16,000 images in my catalog. Is there some way to force organizer to keep its place in the catalog?

    I believe you're using Display > Folder Location view, in which this behavior is most pronounced.  In Display > Thumbnail View (which sorts photos by date rather than folder), the problem generally doesn't occur.   Folder Location view is the PSE stepchild: slow, buggy, and poorly designed:

  • PSE 8 organizer has photo with lock and message editor is busy

    I want to edit a picture from my gallery.  I click on fix and try to open full edit and I get message that the editor is busy.   There is one picture in my gallery that has a lock across it and states edit in progress.  I have exited and restarted PSE8 several times.  This message has been here for a whole day already.   How do I get to edit my photos again?

    Are you sure the editor isn't still running? The band with the lock means that you left a photo open in the editor when you switched back to the organizer, and the solution is usually just to close the photo in the editor. Try restarting your computer.
    The editor and the organizer are separate programs.

  • Kind of broken communication between Organizer and Editor PSE 9

    Hi,
    Today I when I opened my PSE 9 Organizer to select and edit some photots uploaded yesterday, when I selecrt3ed the photos and clicked Fix>Full Photo Edit menu, the Editor opened fine, BUT no photo appeared on the Editor as always. This is the first time this happens and I have been working for more than a year with PSE9 without any problems.
    Now, in order to edit the selected photos on the organizer, once the Editor opens (showing no photo) i have to open the Editor´s Project Bin at the bottom and then select "show files selected in the organizer" and there they are, but this didn´t happened before.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks a lot Barbara,
    Maybe I did not explain myself very well, but what I have been doing for a long time, was selecting one ...or several pictures for editing from within the organizer, and after the Editor opened, there was always a picture on the body of the Editor, ready to be edited, but NOT so anymore since today in the morning. It is not a big deal, because as I explained on my first post, now I have to look for the pictures in the Editor´s project bin and select the one I like to edit, but it is odd that this just happened today after almost two years of being working the other way. 
    Is there some  way to repair the installation of  PSE9?

  • PSE9 could not convert PSE8 organizer database... help

    Hi,
    After installing PSE9 I launched the organizer and it immediately began converting the database (it has around 9,000 pics).  After a long while it said it could not convert the database (I don't remember the exact error message wording).  I only tryed it once because it was late at night.
    Are there any known issues with this?
    Would it help to Optimize and/or fix the database in PSE8 before trying to convert it?
    What should I do?
    Thanks for your comments/help

    saurabh,
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    I only had Face Recognition turned on. I went ahead and turned it off in PSE8 and I was then able to convert the database!!
    But after that, it automatically brought a popup message saying:
    Restoring People Recognition Data...
    and a progress bar that goes only to 2%.  After that the program becomes irresponsive. When I click on anything, I get the grey screen and the W7 message asking me if I want to close the application and search for a solution.
    I restarted the PC and tryed again, I open the organizer and see my thumbs and again, automatically got the popup with the exact same results... it gets stuck at 2%.  I left it overnight and it never moved past 2%.
    Please help...
    Correction: my database actually has 15,000 photos and videos (not 9,000 as said before) maybe 99.9% photos and only a few videos.
