Rearranging photo thumbnails in Organizer window

Is there a way to rearrange photo thumbnails manually in the Organizer? Most software enables a drag-and-drop function but apparently not here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Philip
In the full Organizer, the Views available (lower left corner) are Newest, Oldest, Folder and Import Batch. Within the full Organizer, I don't believe you can do as you wish.
If you make a collection, you can re-arrange the images within the collection by dragging and dropping. This is often used to re-arrange pictures for a specific project, making a slide show or web page say.
I guess in theory you could create a collection that included all your pictures and then drag and drop within that. Never tried this so you may run into some kind of file limit.

  • Imported photos won't show up as thumbnails in the Organizer window. What did I do wrong?

    I recently imported .jpg files from a Canon A3000 and the files show imported but the thumbnails do not appear in the organizer window. When I do a re-import of the same files it give me a dialog box saying thay have already been imported. Can someone help me please.

    Please try right clicking the thumbnails and "Update thumbnail" option.
    Let us know if that does not work.

    How do I rearrange photos in organizer elements 13 albums?

    When you have selected an album, look at the third line: there is a 'Sort by' button. Just choose 'album order' and move your thumbnails around in the display space.

    Has anyone else experienced this?
    I stacked some photos, now I cannot expand them or unstack them in the organizer.
    This is for both auto and manual stacking.

    Please press Ctrl+D to move to the older grid and now the stack option should be enabled.

  • Photos in Elements Organizer 8 have developed a ? mark on the thumbnail. Cannot print.

    Some of my photos in Elements Organizer 8 have developed a ? mark on the thumbnail.  I no longer can print a photo from these.  How do I get rid of the problem?

    Thank you for a prompt reply,  the photos have not been moved or deleted.  The only thing in common is all problem photos were originally sent via e-mail.  The files go missing without any action on my part after a few months. I can get the missing file to give a computer location, but cannot get the system to “reinstate” the photo in elements to be printed.

  • How many photos are in Organizer Catalog

    How many photos are in my Organizer Catalog?

    Sorry if you already know this but I feel it is worth repeating. There are no photos "in" the organizer - the photos are where you put them or have told the organizer/editor to put them.
    The organizer database only contains links to your photos which is why you should NOT rename, delete or move a photo by external applications like Windows Explorer of Finder. The organizer does hold a small preview image of very low quality which it uses in the grid view.
    If you want to know how many photos have been cataloged, then try going into the thumbnail grid view and ensure that all images are being viewed - i.e. no Back button or Show All button at the top of the grid. There is usually a status line at the bottom of the window which contains a count of images.
    If you tell us which operating system you are running on and which version of Photoshop Elements you have, we may be able to help you more.

  • How to export photos from Elements Organizer on Mac?

    I saw someone asked the same question and it seemed not to be possible with the Mac version. Surely this can't be possible as this must be one of the single most important functions in an Archving system.

    The problem is I can't move them to a new folder. If I could I wouldn't have the export problem. I just dragging and dropping but it doesn't work. I have made a selection (15) of photos in Elements Organizer but I can't identify which ones they are (from 300) in the Mac Finder app (= Windows Explorer).
    Sorry, I can't test that on a Mac, but I thought that 'Windows only' features would be stated on the Adobe pdf help file, and moving file is not mentionned as Windows only, whereas 'export' is clearly stated as Windows only.

    By the way, the very useful faq list in the right panel of this forum links to PSE9, not PSE10 for the location of the guides.

  • Thumbnails in Organizer are already corrected?

    The thumbnails in the organizer seem to be corrected for color, brightness, etc.  For example...three bracketed exposures of the same scene appear as identical thumbnails in the Organizer. I would like to see exactly what I shot. I cannot find a preference for this. Is there one?
    If I open them in Camera Raw and select "Default" and then close Camera Raw, the Organizer now displays the file as it was shot.

    Select the thumbnails in Organizer.
    Click Edit >> Update Thumbnail for Selected Items.

    I want to transfer my photos from the PC (windows explorer) to my Ipad. The problem is that a keep my photos in different categories and they are in one large folder and several subfolders (2 or 3 levels of subfolders).When I sent it to the Ipad, it just respect the first level of folder. After the first subfolder, all the photos are mixed. Any idea how to keep my original organization just transferring from PC to the Ipad (folder having a subfolder also having another subfolder)?
    Thanks
    Diogo

    The Photos app doesn't currently support subfolders, it only has the one level of folder/album. You will either need to change your folder structure on your computer to be just one level, see if there is a third-party photo app in the store that copes with subfolders, or just make do. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How do you rearrange photos in an iPhoto library?

    I am trying to rearrange photos in iPhoto so I can make a slideshow that makes sense.  I can't seem to move photos once they are there.

    Where are you trying to rearrange the photos?  In the slideshow mode or in an album?
    In the slideshow you can drag a photo from one position in the thumbnail tray at the top to wherever you wnat it.
    In an album use the View ➙ Sort ➙ Manual menu option to let you drag the photos into any order you'd like.
    What system and iPHoto verson are you using? Are you really running 10.3.6?

  • Photo stream "public website" in Internet Explorer - photo thumbnail's are gray, individual photo view is fine. Tested from various computers. No issue with Firefox, Safari or Chrome.

    Dear All,
    Recently I have started to use Photo Stream available from iCloud on iPhone device. I have made “test” photo stream with several photos in and set to “public website” in order to share photos with my relatives.
    The issue is with Internet Explorer where list of photos (thumbnails) are shown in gray color. I can view photo one by one and slideshow also works fine.
    On other computers IE behaves the same way.
    https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A2532ODWsAl87
    No issue with photo list in thumbnails using Safari, Chrome or Firefox.
    Can someone help on this issue?
    It is very convenient to share photos via photo stream, but most of viewers by default has IE and many of them don’t have iCould account or apple device.
    Kind regards,
    M

    Dear safari rss
    Indeed, you are right, I have updated IE to version 10 and no issue with page view.
    Solution woud be to update IE to version 10 (I have not tested IE9).
    However users using Windows XP can have highest IE version 8. IE9 or IE10 is not suported in XP.
    Unfortunatelly there are still many windows XP at my friends circle.
    Thank you,
    Best regards

  • Where are the photos in the organizer located?

    When I put photos in the organizer, does the organizer make copies of the originals? Where are they located on the hard drive?

    You don't put any photo in the organizer : the location on the drive of the media files and their properties are written in the catalog database together with a small thumbnail. The photos stay where you have put them.
    If you are 'getting photos or videos' from camera or card reader, you are using an accessory module (the downloader) to upload from your camera card to your computer before the photos are registered in the organizer catalog. You can check the location where the files are written in your computer in the Edit / preference menu of the organizer. You can specify where you want the photos to be stored on your computer.
    After the photos are downloaded from your card, the organizer automatically reads the location and properties of those files and writes that info in the database.
    If you are 'getting photos from files or folders', there is no copy, the updating of the database is made from the already present files on your computer.
    It's up to you to chose if you want to use the downloader or simply use other ways to get the photos from your card to your computer.

  • Missing thumbnails in organizer (v5)

    Why do only some thumbnails display in the organizer? I need thumbnails shown of ALL image files in each folder.
    For ex, I copied a bunch of images into a project folder for editing. Only 3 files out of maybe 80 show up as thumbnails in organizer. The original versions in other folders do have thumbnails. I have the folder set to automatically update.

    Tabasco
    Just a late thought-are there possible duplicate files? You said you copied some to a project folder. Elements does not like duplicates (even if in different folders).
    Organzier uses tags and collections for subdividing/grouping photos, instead of folders. So if Folder 1 has 50 pictures and you need 10 for a special project, you can tag these with Project 1 and filter on only those. Or you could make a Project 1 collection, do your editing and stuff and then export these to a slide show or disk.
    Could this be a reason you do not see the thumbnails?
