Question re Elements 11 Organizer Duplications

I have Elements 11 on my MAC. It keeps duplicating the images in Organizer on its own. How can I stop this, and how can I easily get rid of these unwanted duplicate images?

Are you sure they are duplicates and not versions?

Email Account Question for Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer

I can create draft photo emails and email messages with attachments in Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer, but I cannot activate and send them apparently unless my client is Microsoft Outlook. I have two other email accounts that I want to use, but not Microsoft Outlook. I don't want yet another account. Why can't I establish my own preferred email client for this purpose? If I can, then how do I do it when no option is provided at least within the Organizer.

Which email client you want to use?
You should be able to configure your email client with Adobe Email Services in Organizer. Do you see Adobe Email Service in Edit >> Pref >> Sharing-

adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.

Adobe elements 11 Organizer. Setting Outlook 2010 as email client. (Windows 8 OS)

When I try to setup outlook 2010 as email client in the preferences Adobe services is the only option that will show up in the lookup list for selecting an email client. Is there some kind of issue between Adobe organizer and Windows 8?

MCOOK1155
Using my recently obtained Windows 8 64 bit, I have not been able to get Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer Share File Attachments or Photo Mail to work. From what I have read, Windows 8 has a problem with POP servers. But I suspect that what we are encountering goes beyond that.
At the onset, my only choice was Adobe Email Services for the Email client. After I installed Windows Live Mail 2011, I then had the choice for EMail Client of Windows Live Mail 2011 as well as Adobe Email client but neither solved the problem of no email generated.
a. For Adobe Email Service, used three different email addresses, got valid verification codes for each, was told by the program that I was good to email, yet after the email was prepared, no email with send button was generated for emailing.
b. I have looked at the system with two different anti-virus program...first McAfee and then Windows Defender.
c. I have changed the send to email addresses.
d. I have had no better luck using Windows 8 built in Mail app. In fact, my lack of success with the Photoshop Elements Photo mail feature and the Windows 8 built in Mail app was the reason for my looking for alternatives.
On a comparative note, when I use Photoshop Elements 11 in Windows 7 64 bit, I have the same problem with Adobe Email Service as the Email client. However, if Windows Live Mail 2011 is the Email client, no problems..email generated and sent successfully.
So based on my result, I would say that the answer to your question
"Is there some kind of issue between Adobe organizer and Windows 8?"
is Yes.
If Photoshop Elements 11 support says there should be no problem with this feature in Windows 8, then I would also be interested in knowing the details of its use of the feature to get the expected Photo Mail and File Attachment results.

Adobe Photoshop Express Organizer and Elements 10 Organizer

This question has appeared in previous posts, and remains un-answered, so I will try again.
I had Elements 9 installed on a laptop which was running out of steam. I have a subscription for 20 GB online storage, and have about 3.5 GB of pictures on-line. I have now purchased an upgrade to Elements 10, but on a an iMac12,2 with a bunch of disk. I can see my online catalog with the Photoshop Express Organizer, but can't figure out how to access the same catalog from Elements Organizer 10.
It would be great if Elements Organizer 10 could show the same catalog for me as Photoshop Express Organizer. Is there any way to do this ?
Thanks for any clarification,
-Chuck

Are you signed in with your adobe id (the photoshop.com account ) in your Elements 10 Organizer on Mac ?
If yes , then go to Edit> Preferences>Backup Synchronization . Choose to backup/sync entire catalog .
Also, I would like to add this option for online synchronization is available only when PSE is installed with country specified as US. Hope it helps.
Thanks.

Restoring Elements 8 Organizer data

I'm asking this question on behalf of my parents, who are not highly computer literate. They use Elements 8 Organizer to keep track of their extensive photo collection, including those of professional art work and many overseas trips. In April their computer locked up due to a virus and had to be reinstalled from the Windows 7 OS up. All of their photos had been backed up with Norton 360, but apparently they did not have a mirror of their hard drive--only documents and settings. Consequently, when Elements 8 was reinstalled, they no longer had the organization of the photos as before. I am trying to determine if there is a data file somewhere on the hard drive that captures Organizer's folders, tags, etc., by reference, and if that was possibly in the folders that were backed up. If so, I would think I could just replace the current Organizer data file with their old one, as all the photos have been restored to their original positions in My Pictures. Can anyone provide the pathway to this file or set of files so I can determine whether or not they can get their original organization back? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

The organizer stores its data in catalogs.
Physically, catalogs are folders (one folder per catalog) containing the main component, a sqlite database named 'catalog.pse8db' as well as several other components such as the thumbnail cache.
By default the catalogs are stored in 'hidden folders' in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\catalogs.
When you are in the organizer, you find the exact location of the current catalog in the Help menu, System Info.
So, do a search for 'catalog.pse8db' on the old drive.
If you can find it (make sure by its size that it's not a new empty catalog), you can copy the whole folder either in that same location in the new computer or anywhere else.
Double clicking on that catalog.pse8db file should open the organizer with this catalog.
Your problem will be that the organizer will recognize that the drive identification has been changed and show all thumbnails as 'missing'. For the organizer, the drive is defined not only by its letter, but also by the internal serial number of the drive.
So, you'll have to use the 'reconnect' function of the organizer so that the organizer finds the real location and updates the database.

Elements 12 organizer

I was able to download photoshop elements 12, but the Elements 12 Organizer portion won't open. Can my os system except the editing portion but not the organizer section? I downloaded a second time with the same results.

Organizer won't run under OSX 10.6.8. The technical specs for Mac OS state 10.7 to 10.9. It's just good fortune that the Editor DOES run under 10.6.8.

Image upload from Elements 11 Organizer

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to upload images from an album in Elements 11 Organizer to an online print service? I am using a Mac OSX 10.9.2.
Many thanks,
Graham

That's because Folders created in Bridge are folders at the operating system level. The equivalent in Organizer would be Folder you create in the Folder Hierarchy view.
Organizer Albums are closer in concept to Bridge Collections rather than folders, except in Organizer you don't need to use a search to create the Album.

Neale

Where are photos in the Adobe Elements 10 Organizer backed up to?

When photos in Adobe Elements 10 Organizer are backed up, what part of my Mac are they backed up to?
I cannot find them anywhere.

The thumbnail cache is separate and lives in the system files.
You could try a new catalog - it doesn’t involve any duplication.
Click: File >> Catalog
Click the New button
Give your catalog a name e.g. My Catalog2 (or whatever you prefer)
Check the box Import Free Music - that will bring in the Adobe MP3 tracks used in slideshows
Then click OK
When the new blank catalog opens click: File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files & Folders
Navigate to your root folder (normally Pictures or My Pictures or wherever you put your photos) then press Ctrl+A to select all sub folders or make sure the checkbox is marked.
Click Open or Get Media
Wait for Elements to complete the import, accept all keyword suggestions (select all) and then wait for thumbnails to finish generating.
N.B. You may not get all the metadata (keywords etc) but in view of the problems you have had it may be your best hope.

Premiere elements 12 organizer keep on crashing

Why does the elements 12 organizer keep on crashing during the import of mts files? Does anybody have the same problem?
Adobe does not really seem to be interested in helping, since they outsource everything to forums!!

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Have you viewed the tutorial links at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1275830 page?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so. My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album. After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location. What am I doing wrong? I know this should be a simple thing to do. Thanks

Jimmy RG
In the Elements Organizer 13
The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
in the line up of thumbnails.
Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer catalog conversion

I'm having trouble converting Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer. I get a Conversion Failed error which tells me to repair with the program that created it. I have tried several things including deleting all .avi files from the catalog, deleting references to missing files and backing up then trying to convert from an external HD. I'm running Vista Home Premium on a HP laptop. The Organizer optimize and repair don't seem to help in this case.
Does anyone have any history with this or advice?

Please refer to following KB article which deals with catalog conversion failures:-

Elements 12 Organizer crashes every time I try to use the Photo Mail function. Has anyone else come across this bug?

I highlight the photos I want to share, go to Photo Mail, select the addressees and press "Next". I then get the error message: "Elements Organizer has stopped working" and I have to close the program down.
This is obviously a bug in the program and needs fixing. Has anyone else encountered it and found a solution. (I might add that the same crash happens if I try to use the "Email attachments" function.)

Hi,
Are you running on a Windows system?
If so, use the windows explorer to navigate to one of the following files according to your system.
64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Right click on that file and select Run as Administrator then try your email again.
You should only have to do this once.
Good luck
Brian
