Unable to locate saved slide show

I created an album, and then a slide show containing almost 200 slides. I was sure to save and name it; now I can't find it. When I open Photoshop Elements 9 there are no menu items,( i,e, File, View, Edit) across the top, so I see no way to "Open Saved Project". I can see the album listed on the right, and can access the original photos from there, but I can't find the slide show. Would LOVE some help as it took me hours to create, thanks.

There are many ways of finding your slideshows in Photoshop Elements Organizer.
1. If you know the name of your slideshow(s), you can search for them using the Search box at the top left of the Media Browser (the area with your image thumbnails).
2. You can have the Media Browser only display projects (such as slideshows):
A: Go to Find>By Media Type>Projects (keyboard shortcut Alt+4).
B: Go to View>Media Types and uncheck all other types besides Projects.
3. If you know when you created you slideshow(s), you can limit what the Media Browser displays to that date range (Find>Set Date Range or by using the Timeline (under the Window menu)).
4. If you are in the Folder Location Display mode, navigate to this folder:
A: Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\PSE9\projects
B: Windows Vista/7 - C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\PSE9\projects

In PSE 9 how do I add slides to a saved slide show

In PSE 9 How do I add slides to a saved slide show?

When you open a project, there is an option to launch Add Media window from where you can access files from Catalog or a particular album.

Why doesn't a saved slide show in PSE-6.0 show in Organizer?

Two questions:
1-I've created a few slide shows in Photoshop Elements 6.0 (running Windows Vista-64) and until recently have been able to find and reopen/edit them in Organizer. For some reason none are showing at top of Organizer, even though I can find the file in folder Adobe:/PhotoshopElements/Catalogs/CIB Catalog/Projects. I've even reinstalled PSE6.0 and still won't show newly created slide show projects. Any ideas of what I need to do to be able to create, save and then go back to work on a slide show? My goal is to create a slide show to copy to a DVD for viewing on a TV and don't want to try and do this all in one session.
2-Why are the photos not linked to the correct folder when I try to open and edit it, even after I've just reinstalled PSE-6.0? I don't want to go thru the Browse option to relink up the thumbnail to the original photo.
Thanks very much in advance and I looked up previous discussions about "slide shows" but didn't see this discussed, so sorry if this question has already been covered.

For the slidehshow thumbnail --
I have always been able to find my slideshow thumbnail in the Thumbnail view as long as I had the Media Types to display set to include projects/creations. I would not expect to find the slideshow thumbnail using Folder Location and definitely not using Import Batch (because a slide show is not part of an import batch) . You did not post your current setting for Media Types, so I suggest that you investigate its setting.
However, your problem with the photos showing on the Z drive is probably more serious
One odd thing I've just noticed is that all files in PSE-6 show the
files being on the "Z" drive, but they are on the "C" drive in Windows
Explorer. I am using a cloud based storage service (Trend Micro's
SaveSync) and it designates the "Z" drive as the cloud drive, so this is
odd.
My second question is related to all my photos, not
just ones I've tried to organize into a Slide Show Project. I've tried
different photos in many different folders and all of them show the same
message of "Searching for Missing File". Since I just reloaded PSE-6
I'm very surprised by this error.
If by "reloaded" you mean reinstalled, then the relevant fact is that the reinstall does not modify the Elements Catalog (which is where those pointers to the photo file location on the Z drive reside). So a reinstall of the PSE software would not have an effect here.
Unfortunately, I can not predict or even guess how the Trend Micro SaveSync works and what it would do that would make the PSE Organizer think it should look on the Z drive to find your photo files. The Search for Missing File is most probably caused by that Z drive reference.
All I can suggest is
-- look in the Organizer Preferences for a preference about reconnecting files automatically and set that preference to NOT reconnect automatically so that you have better control of when and how the info about photo file locatin that is stored in the elements catalog is modified .
-- then use the thumbnail view within the Organizer and right click on the thumbnail for one photo and then choose the Reconnect of a single photo
-- can you reconnect that single photo successfully and have it show the C drive as its location ?
-- if yes try a few more photos
-- if you can reconnect several photos, then I suggest that you read the following for a suggestion on how to reconnect many photo files

Can't find saved slide show

I created a slide show in Photoshop Elements. Saved it as "Untitled Slide Show." The message said in order to retrieve the project, go to media browser and use the date the slide show was created. I don't know where to find Media Browser. Help!

Hi. How are you doing? Did you find the Elements Organizer Slideshow?
Hi ATR, I'm doing ok. Better now that I figured out how to find projects, thanks to you. I managed to get the project out of Elements 9. It gives me two choices of saving to a file. Either a wmv or a pdf. The pdf file is much clearer than the wmv, but has no music.
When I save to a wmv file, the photos loose some quality. lso when I burned to a CD, some of the quality is lost. Reckon why that is?
I see that your thread is still here in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum. Did you get a chance to re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum yet? No, haven't been back to the forum.
I am concerned that you might have overlooked saving the slideshow project and therefore it was gone permanently when you shutdown the Slideshow Editor for the last session of the preparation of that slideshow. Hope not. I gave up looking, started from scratch and re-did the whole thing.
If by some chance, you saved the .wmv version of the slideshow instead of the slideshow project, at least you will have a file, but that .wmv cannot be opened and edited like the slideshow project file could. I remember making a couple of slide shows a few yrs ago and everything worked like a charm, but was a different version of Elements. It seems like this version (9) isn't as friendly. Or maybe its just me not knowing my way around that well.
Hoping for the best. You have helped me a lot. I do appreciate it.
C ya down the trail,
Hosslady

PE9- Saving slide shows - always stops working at 94% of .wmv file

I have a 40 minute slide show with music. When I output to .wmv file, PE9 always stops working at 94% of download, whether I use the maximum or the high resolution settings. I have a powerful computer with all the bells and whistles. I'm disapointed that E9 does not perform as advertised. Any solutions or comments beyong what's in the release notes? Any fix for this soon? Thanks to all.

Most probably Premiere Elements is causing the rotation you are experiencing
That is because the recent versions of Premiere Elements do not recognize the rotation indicator set in a photo file. However the Photoshop Elements Organizer does recognize a photo orientation indicator set within the photo file when displaying thumbnails and displaying the photo file.
At this point for this slide show,
it might be simplest to initiate an edit in Photoshop Elements of each of the portrait orinetation photo files that are in this slide show -- so that the pixels within the photo file itself can be rotated and saved as a new photo file. .
In the future,
-- it would probably be simpler to multiple select thumbnails in the Organizer and rotate those photo thumbnails (once 90 degrees and then a second time back in the opposite direction 90 degrees).
-- most cameras that set rotation indicators in a photo file also have an option not to set that indicator which then usually results in portrait orientation photos displaying sideways in the Elements Organizer until you rotate them yourself. (to me this is a second choice approach but it is a possibility)

How best to display portrait-oriented photos in saved slide show

The choice seems to be: (a) selecting the default setting "Scale Photos to Fill Screen" - which eliminates the black bands on the sides, but only displays the center 60% of the vertical shot; or (b) live with the black bands. Is there another solution or idea? I have thought about putting two compatible vertical shots together to fill the slide, but I don't know how.

To put two portrait photos side by side you will need a 3rd party image editor that can handle layers. There's Seashore,Acorn and Photoshop Elements just to name a few. Search VersionTracker.com for "image editor" to get some other candidates.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

PSE 8, No audio when creating a slide show

I am unable to create a slide show with audio. All other functions in the slide show function properly but unable to get the audio portion to play. Receive error message "Unable to add audio file, the selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (CODEC) installed." Checked and all the Vista CODEC's are installed & functioning properly. Checked and downloaded the latest CODEC from Realtek for the audio board. No audio recognized within Organizer or from file folders. Went to Adobe Tech. and got brushed off. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

1. I have Windows Media Player 11. It plays my music files which are mostly .MP3 I am unable to locate the Adobe music files using Windows Explorer. May be an indication that they didn't load when the program was installed. I have uninstalled and re-installed PSE 8. from my disc's.
2. I Tunes is my primary player.
3. OS is Vista Home premium
After running around in circles for several days I have tried the following:
1. I opened PRE8 and created a slide show and imported audio file from my music folder. Played OK. Slide show performed OK. I did not locate the included music folder with program.
<edited>
3. In PSE8 I searched with Windows Explorer and could not locate any audio music files. The error message I receive is:
"Unable to add the audio file (C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\usic\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3) The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
Note that it is searching in PSE6 for the file. I missed that before. I long ago uninstalled PSE6 and PSE 7 was installed in its place and since PSE8.
Now I am suspicious that the music files never loaded with the install of PSE8 and it is searching for music files that no longer exist. Not sure what is corrupted and not sure what else to try. I think I will reload PSE7 and see if I can locate the included audio files and attempt to load a slide show with PSE7.

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

AppleWorks Slide Show

Please help! : )
When students open up a saved slide show, some get the message "unexpected end of file" and it won't open...... which means they have to begin this long term assignment all over again....we have also had extensive "AppleWorks unexpectedly quits" issues. This is not machine, nor student account based since the students can move to a different machine and the application works. We are on a server...if that helps.

Being on a server might be the problem. There have been several posts over the years with corruption with files saved to a server. Usually, the problems were with databases, but I think I've seen presentations & slide shows mentioned as well. I found Apple Knowledge Base article 93095 that discusses the problem. I hope it helps you.

What is problem with Lightroom 5 slide show??

This is a repeat question since it is impossible to get an answer from Adobe. Possibly THE worst technical support of any product I have ever purchased!! I upgraded to LR 5. The slide show does not work. I only get a black screen while the slides advance. This was not a problem with LR4. My saved slide shows do not work and new ones created in LR 5 don't work. Adobe gave some ridiculous answer about the name of the files with some sort of ID in them. The answer made no sense. I have changed nothing in my OS or my file structure. Some people are experiencing this problem since there were several people posting the same issue. Why can't we get a timely and credible answer from Adobe on this problem? Anybody have a solution? I went back to LR 4 and no issue with the saved slide shows. Help please!! LR 5.4 upgrade did not fix the problem either.
Come on Adobe fix your very expensive software product that I paid cash for!!
Thank you!
MAC OS 10.7.5

I posted this 8 months ago with NO responses. Incompatibility of Lightroom 5 and Mac OS 10.7.5 on a MacPro. I bought Lightroom last week and struggled to get a slideshow to be exported. After many hours of testing I have concluded that the slideshow export delivers blank slides and blank video (though audio comes through) EXCEPT that the picture shows up during the transition ONLY. Please correct this problem. The problem does NOT occur on my MacBook Air with OS 10.8.5
I saw Rob Cole's suggestion: what can be corrected in either the monitor profile or video driver?

Saving a Slide Show

I CANNOT seem to save a slide show such that I can fine it again.
When I hit "save" in the Slide Show Editor, it gives me this message:
SAVING YOUR SLIDE SHOW PROJECT ENABLES YOU TO MAKE CHANGES TO THIS SLIDE SHOW LATER. YOUR SLIDE SHOW PROJECT WILL BE SAVED TO THE PHOTO BROWSER WITH TODAY'S DATE. YOU MAKE NEED TO CLEAR YOUR CURRENT SEARCH IN ORDER TO SEE IT.
So, I click "okay" and then exit out of the Slide Show Editor and go the Photo Browser. Then I get this message:
YOUR SLIDE SHOW HAS BEEN SAVED AND IS SELECTED AT THE TOP OF THE PHOTO BROWSER.
And then I can't find the slide show ANYWHERE in the Photo Brower.
Can anyone help me with this?????? (Please?)
BTW, this is with Photoshop Elements 4.0. I use a PC.

>I DEFINITELY tried this. The Creations menu was empty. Does that tell you something?
Well it does not sound good.
1- Do a File > Catalog > Recover
that does a Catalog cleanup.
Does that make any difference in what you see displayed?
2- Then try this -
go to the View menu > Media Types and only have Creations checked.
Be sure that you are viewing All Photos(in order to satisfy the Clear your Current Search instruction of the message) If you use Folder Location be sure that all Folders are being displayed.
What do see now in the thumbnail area?
Be sure to go back to View > Media Types and recheck Photos and others. The settings for Media Types are sticky - so if you do not go back and recheck the others, you will wonder why you can't see your photos next time you use PS Elements.

Saving a slide show when catalog runs from flash drive

A little background - I manage two separate classes of students who use the same laptop with PSE8. Each student has their own flash drive to save a custom catalog for the PSE8. Each time students open PSE8 they load their custom catalog. All image files are saved onto the flash drive. We have been using custom catalogs because our computers have Deep Freeze installed. This system has worked well for images.
When saving a slide show there is no way to specify where the slide show should be saved. I assumed that the slide show would save to the catalog which is sitting on the flash drive. Unfortunately, this is not the case. How can I save a slide show on a external flash drive? I want students to be able to save and be able to reopen their slideshows.
thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Right now,I am looking at my current PSE 7 install on Vista. There is a .psess file type which contains slide show project information. I suspect that this might be the file you are seeking. And I think this file exists with the same purpose in PSE 8.
For PSE 8, you might find those files under a folder structure of
..... \Elements Organizer\Catalogs\name of the specific catalog\projects
I desginated the dots at the beginning of the folder structure because they could be different depending on what version of Windows is running and potentially even other installation choices specific to that machine.
Therefore, you might try searching for the .psess slide show project file type.
Note 1: I am not sure v8 will place the project folder and the .psess files in your case where you have used a custom location for the Catalog that is on a flash drive. Please post back here with the location where you do find the files
Note 2: I suspect that if you are teaching syncing to photoshop.com, you might also need to be concerned about the location of the syncdb folder. My guess would be that it is near that project folder. If you do determine the syncdb location, please also post it back here. Thanks.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Slide show unable to view on a IMAC... any ideas?

Hi ,
I made a slide show on my pc and uploaded to website and shared (e-mail link) to family on a I MAC. They are unable to view. Any idea's?
Thank you

They probably need to install this. It's free and it lets macs see .wmv files:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player
Another possiblity is that their version of flash is too old:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP
Finally, you don't say which version of OS X they're using, but there have been imac models for well over ten years now, so their machine/operating system could also just be too old.

I made a Keynote slide show completely on my iPhone. Then I "saved to iTunes", but I cannot find it. Where does it go? Can anybody help?

I made a Keynote Slide show completely on my iPhone.....300 slides. Turned out great! However, I went to "save it to iTunes"....but I cannot find it. Where does it go? I can't figure it out.....thanks!

Dock your phone....locate it on the left in iTunes....hit the 'Apps' tab on the right, then scroll down to the 'File Sharing' section below...
