PSE8 Organizer & Editing To CS5

I recently purchased CS5 and I have a very large catalog collection in PSE8 and would like to be able to open CS5 from my Organizer. When I right click on a picture I should have the option of editing in PSE8 Editor or CS5. When the window opens my only visible choice is PSE8. I can press CRTL + H and at that point CS5 editor does open but after editing and saving, my file is not being saved back into my catalog like it would if I was using PSE editor. I was told that CS5 should be listed as one of my choices but that is not happening.

I don't think this is available in right click menu options.
Alternatevely, you can set CS5 as your external editor in preferences and then the edited image should be saved as version set in Organizer.

Editing with Photoshop CS4 from PSE8 Organizer

I have made numerious attempts to use Photoshop CS4 to edit an image in the PSE8 organizer rather than Photoshop Elements. There is a shortcut to launch CS4 which is Ctrl-H rather than the usual Ctrl-I. CS4 launched and I complete the edit. I do a save as but Organizer retains the Edit in Progress red bar across the image (edited version) and this does not go away even when CS4 is closed.
If I close PSE8 Organizer the Edited file is no longer there, in Elements or indeed in the folder. The same happens whether I save as a jpg or psd file.
Can anyone point out what is going wrong or give me the correct procedure for making this work.
Peter

Peter I would love to find a solution for you.
There has always been a bug with PSE7 requiring edited RAW images from ACR to be manually imported back into PSE Organizer. This may apply to Jpegs and could have rolled-over into PSE8.
As PSE8 is fully supported I suggest you raise a ticket with Adobe Support through the contact link but it does not guarantee a solution to your problem.
This Adobe tech Note gives further details.

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.

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 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.

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:

Does anyone know why Adobe CC is failing recognise or open files taken on a Nikon D4 that have been previously edited in CS5?

I'm just migrating some of my image archive across from one hard drive to another. During the process, I checked the files in Bridge to see that they'd copied correctly. It was here that I noticed that for some reason, in every folder that I've moved, there are at least a few images that it fails to recognise. These images are listed as having no camera model and no serial number. Attempting to open them in Photoshop CC says that it is an unrecognised file. Bridge struggles for a while, manages to eventually recognise a lot of them but always leaves a few that it cannot work with.
Having looked at the original drive, the files are fine and open perfectly. One thing that I've noticed is that some (not all) of the now corrupt files have been previously edited in CS5. Removing the sidecar xmp file makes no difference. Purging the cache makes no difference. Repairing permissions makes no difference.
I am running OSX Mavericks (10.9.3) and have the latest updated version of CC.
Please help!
Leon

I'm using an Intel iMac, 3.6Ghz Intel core i5 with 12GB of 1333 Mhz DDR3 RAM.
The iMac has OSX 10.9.3 installed with all of the latest updates.
I'm using Adobe CC with all of the latest updates installed so Bridge is version 6.0.1.6.
I have repaired permissions, rebooted the Mac, re-started Bridge and cleared the Bridge cache.
The raw files are .nef files from a Nikon D4. They are currently stored on an external Western Digital red hard drive and all of the images are accessible and load correctly.
In moving the files across to a new Western Digital green drive, Bridge is failing to create some of the thumbnails. After waiting for all of the thumbnails to be created, the remaining files are simply displayed with a nef files icon. Any attempt to open them fails, with Adobe Photoshop CC displaying a message stating that the file is not in a format that Photoshop can understand.
On investigating further, I have found that the images that are causing issues are ones that have been edited before and have sidecar .xmp files. These .xmp files were created during editing when using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
I hope that's everything that you requested.

Do I really need to overclock a i7 2600(k) for HD editing in CS5?

Dear All
After reading a lot in this forum (thanks to everyone!), I pretty much decided to buy the i7 2600k or i7 2600 (I know the difference) for the system I´m putting together.
I´ll have a student´s edition of CS5 and will be using Premiere and AE and have one huge doubt left:
Do I really, really need "Overclocking" for HD video editing?
A few background infos so you know who "I" refers to:
I´ll be doing small projects for my own private amusement, most of them likely to be less then 20 minutes long, but effects/filters/layers will definitely be involved.
I´ll buy a Nvidia 550 for cuda, the three "obligatory" harddrives, 16 GB of RAM...
Think of fiction short movies, music videos etc. and you get the idea.
I am not a hardware enthousiast or a very impatient person - if a final rendering/conversion into another format takes 8 minutes instead of 6, for instance, I do not care.
What I DO care about is smooth editing and previews when working with HD formats (yes, also the "difficult" ones). I don´t want to be on the top of any benchmarks, but
the performance with HD still should be "good"...
I have no previous experience with OC, but I understand it´s quite easy with this last generation of processor and motherboards.
Yes, I am tempted to get more "Bang for the buck", but I am also reluctand to spend more money and time if I don´t really need it, or if the difference will be so minimal I won´t notice it.
As I understand it, for OC I´ll need to get a better case with fans, a better cooler, better power supply, better who-knows-what... all decisions I need to take now...
I also wonder:
- Is it still true that my processor/system will have a shorter life spam with OC?
- In case I don´t overclock, can I go with the factory cooler of the i7 2600 or is it still wise to get a better one?
- Any suggestion which Z68 motherboard to buy with and without OC? (should be around 100-150 Euros)
Please allow me this additional question in order not to open another threat just for it:
- I want to get Kingston DDR3 4GB/1333 RAM simply because it´s cheap - is that okay with the i7-2600 or should I go for 1600 instead?
Thank you so much in advance for any kind of suggestion, I hope your answers will be useful for more users out there.
Andy

Thank you, Harm. Does everyone agree? I´d be happy to save the money for all those fans...
The time issue is really relative. My last editing adventures laying about a decade back when one could go for a coffee when applying a filter to a couple of minutes in PAL
and even a brightness filter applied to a short shot would have me staring for endless seconds at the screen. I hope these days are gone, EVEN with HD?
I´m just trying to imagine how and when OC would affect things while using cs5, or if it would affect the "smootheness" of the editing process at all.
As said, a conversion into another format or a final rendering that takes many minutes anyways is not a problem for me.
But say I want to apply a filter to a couple of seconds, or render an AE effect, would I have to "wait" at all for previews with the modern i7 system I want to build?

While in Lightroom, i press command e to edit in cs5, however my picture won't open in cs5. It was working just fine, then just stopped.

Please do not post questions more than once. It makes it difficult for you as well as those who will try to answer. I don't have an answer for you. However:
What operating system?
What version of Lightroom?
How much RAM?
Did you install anything new?
What version of Camera Raw are using in Photoshop CS5?
If you can provide more details, it might make it easier for someone to provide you with an answer.

Suddenly I can´t open Elements Organizer (edition 9) and I can´t see my pictures. What to do?

How do images edited in CS5 not return to LR3?

I have just upgrade to CS5 and then downloaded LR3 trial version as I am waiting for the software to arrive.
I was editing a shot in LR3, then decided to edit in CS5 for content aware fill to remove some wires that I could not work around. After completing the edit in CS5, it asked me to save the images and I said yes. After that, it did not return the file to LR3. After doing several other edits, I finally did a search on my system to find the images that I edited in CS5.
To my surprise, they were in different directories on my system!
Is there something that we now have to specify to get them to return to LR? I would like to keep the images all in one collection since this is what I have done in the past.
It also did not ask me when going to CS5 if I wanted to use the edited version like it did in V1 & 2. Has anyone else had this happen?
Thanks,
David

Did you have any filters set in LR to exclude any other images? ... there seems to be a bug in PS returning images with ratings, color labels and filters ... or any of the above. Try removing the filters to see if your edited image is there.
The team is looking into the issue.

Editing in CS5 from Lightroom 3

Similar question to others in the forum with a couple of twists. Hopefully someone can point me to the solution.
System: iMac 2.4GHz running in 32bit, 4Gb RAM
Software: Lightroom 3, Photoshop CS5 running in 64bit (same problem if running in 32bit), NIK Complete package plug-ins (updated for 64bit operation)
PS is the external editor for LR per Preferences; Camera Raw is 6.2 version.
When I select an image in LR to edit in PS via Photo>Edit in CS5 the following happens:
PS opens
Palettes appear
Finder dialogue box opens asking me to pick a file for editing.
Or:
PS opens
Palettes appear
No file opens - just sits there doing nothing.
Or:
PS Opens
Palettes appear
File appears for editing.
It's irregular enough to drive me crazy. Sometimes switching from 64 to 32 bit PS will result in normal behavior. Sometimes selecting Edit In via right click on image will work. Sometimes selecting a .psd file in LR will work and then all other file types (.dng, .tiff) will work. Sometimes I have to shut everything down and restart for it to behave normally.
Anyone see this particular version of the Edit In CS5 bug and found a solution to it? Seems to have started a couple of weeks ago but not after any upgrade or installation on my part.
Thanks to all for thinking about it.

I don't know what anyone else will say, but I would try uninstalling and reinstalling. do _NOT_ remove your catalog file, or images. They will be fine and dandy. They are not related to software installs at all. I'd remove PS as well. Then install PS first, then install LR. See if that fixes the problem.
Cheers!

How to refresh tags in PSE8 Organizer

If I update a tag or change a rating, outside of the Elements Organizer, for example in CS4 Bridge, Windows Explorer or a photo editor, how can I get the PSE8 Organizer to recognise the updated IPTC information? Can I get it to re read the file information without re-importing it?
Peter

Thanks for this.
I've just done a few tests and I see that, when I update the thumbnail, the caption is updated but the star rating is not updated.
I find the whole system of not writing out the metadata to the image, unless requested, and there being no way to update certein metadata, other than re-import somewhat unsatisfactory. I suppose that this is the downside of using a database to hold the information.
Peter

PSE8 Organizer does not display the miniatures (less than 1%)

Hello,
As indicated above, when I launches PSE8 Organizer the photos of the collection are not displayed as miniatures. Instead I get waiting hourglasses. Activating the menu 'Update the miniatures' doesnot change anything.
Can somebody haelp me?
Thanks, I apologize for my english
Lamarckjohn

Does this mean the problem has returned like mine did Lamarckjohn?
As I haven't got to the bottom of the problem yet and my pc is mid-rebuild for the 2nd time I HOPE you are OK...
We must keep in touch as we seem to have the same issue, (though mine did seem to spread and give other registry issues the more I tried to fix it). Dell have asked me to run the pc without Adobe for a month to see if that isolates the issue....
I think this must be raised with Adobe....I'll give them the link to your threads too, to show I am not alone.
Good luck and please update us on your progress.
Ruth

Concerning Lightroom preferences: Getting back to editing in CS5

After installing the BETA CS6 Photoshop, how do we get back to editing in CS5 from Lightroom 4? I don't have the choice to choose the prior editition of Photoshop from the edit in option in Lightroom 4.
