The organizer of Photoshop Elements 8 - Problem of sequence of dates

Bonjour,
I have a problem with the organizer of Photoshop Elements 8, especially with the sequence of the pictures in the catalog.
My understanding is that the sequence of the pictures depends of the Exifs dates.
Problem in my catalog: It takes generally the date taken, but sometimes the date digitized even if the date taken is available. I have used Exifer to check the dates but also PhotoMe and Exif Manager.
Thanks in advance for a solution.

The problem with 2002-12-25_F1030011.jpg is that it contains an invalid date/time in the XMP:DateTimeOriginal field of its metadata:
Date/Time Original: 2002:12:25 08:29:00
The XMP metadata specification requires that a time zone be specified, e.g.
Date/Time Original: 2002:12:25 08:29:00+01:00
Evidently, when PSE doesn't find a valid XMP:DateTimeOriginal field, it then uses the EXIF:CreateDate field, "2008:04:10 14:59:08".
I believe that Microsoft Pro Photo Tools wrote the invalid value in XMP:DateTimeOriginal.   It's shown as the last software to have modified the XMP section:
---- XMP ----
About                           : uuid:faf5bdd5-ba3d-11da-ad31-d33d75182f1b
Date/Time Original              : 2002:12:25 08:29:00
Date/Time Modified              : 2002:12:25 08:29:00
Software                        : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
Software                        : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
Creator Tool                    : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
Creatortool                     : Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
I verified that my Pro Photo Tools incorrectly writes dates/times without a time zone.
You could fix this with the free Exiftool by doing:
exiftool -xmp:datetimeoriginal= 2002-12-25_F1030011.jpg
This deletes the XMP:DateTimeOriginal field, causing PSE to use the EXIF:DateTimeOriginal field, which is also present in the file.   You could run exiftool on all your photos that might be affected via:
exiftool -xmp:datetimeoriginal= -r c:\users\you\pictures
Then select the corresponding thumbnails in the Organizer and do Edit > Update Thumbnail to cause PSE to re-read the metadata. Note that Exiftool will make copies before modifying files, adding _original to the name of the copies.

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

Mijn versie van photoshop elements 10 werkt perfect
Doch na het afsluiten van het programma en even later terug opstarten vertikt de organizer te openen
Ik ben verplicht mijn PC volledig af te sluiten en pas dan kan ik terug de organizer laten werken
Heb photoshop elements volledig opnieuw geïnstalleerd doch hetzelfde probleem doet zich voor
My version of photoshop elements 10 works perfectly
But after the conclusion of the program and back a few moment later the
organizer won't open
I am obliged to shut down my PC completely and only then the organizer works again

Yes that will work. If for example you have PSE8 installed, when you install PRE10 it can link to the PSE8 Organizer. But you could import your clips/media into a separate catalog for use with PRE. When you launch PRE10 simply click the Organize button on the welcome screen.

How do I stop the organizer in Photoshop Elements 9 from closing?

I purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premeire Elements 9 two years ago. The organizer would never stay open long enough for me to do anything with it. I figured it was just my computer which had been having issues. I installed it on my new computer this week and it is doing the same thing. Is something set incorrectly or is this software just junk? The company now encourages me to buy Version 11. If 9 never worked why trust 11? Any suggestions?

Can you explain any error you are getting while running the organizer. Also any information about the hardware/software configuration would be helpful

How do I get thumbprint images to appear in the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 13?

After installing 13, I get hourglass symbols for all the pictures in the catalog, and when I click on them, I can see the picture image, but obviously can't search the catalog visually. Any ideas?

You can get the screen size by using Dimension java.awt.Toolkit.getScreenSize().
Once you get the Dimension, Before using API setVisible(true), You have to do the calculations to put your dialog in the center.

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.

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

OS version? Did PSE10 ever work? If so, what changes did you make to your system, such as un-installing or installing any software or drivers? Ken

Photoshop Elements problems

I bought Photoshop Elements 10 in March and I have not been able to use it. Photoshop Premiere Trial version will not load and the Inspiration Browser will not load. Also any valuable help you get with this product, you have to pay for it (as if purchasing the product was not enough). I am very disappointed in this product and I actually want my money back.

I am not able to do anything in Photoshop Elements.

How to use the "Actions" in Photoshop Elements 11

I am wanting to use the "Actions" in Photoshop Elements 11. But when I get the actions box up, it is only showing a small list of effects to use. The tutorials I have checked into all show a very long list of actions. When I click on the little arrow and click on "load actions", I am getting nothing. Everything is blank. It says "No items match your search." Please help!

To use the existing actions, try the following:
1. Open one of the Action Sets, in this example Special Effects is the Action Set, by pressing the small arrow beside the set name.
2. Then click on the name of the Action, in this example Faded Ink is the Action name.
3. Then press the Play button to run the action.

If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2 and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP computer and mess up the existing catalog,
unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have adobe photoshop elements older version and it's for windows XP, now I need windows 7, do I upgrade? or buy a new one?. where do I find the cheapest Adobe Photoshop elements 13?
