Unwanted folders in Photoshop Elements Organiser

I've recently started using Photoshop Elements 13 on a new Windows 8.1 Laptop.
I've started bringing some folders into the Organizer and have had some unwanted ones turn up...
The unwanted folders have names like festive, confetti and album_16x9_c71ff90be..... and they all appear to have a single music file in them and be located in the slideshow > themes > assets subfolder of Adobe. Given this folder isn't within the Pictures folder I've set Adobe to look at I don't how the folders have ended up in my Organizer.
So, I'm seeking assistance to:
- delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do; and
- work out how they ended up there so I can make sure it doesn't happen again.
Thanks in advance for any help!

- delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do;
Have you tried going to Watch Folders options and then delete from there? See this picture:
To get to this screen, Launch the Organizer and then Go to:
File >> Files folders (this 5th item from the bottom)
Good luck.

How to move photos to external harddrive with Photoshop Elements Organiser 9 - Mac user

I have managed to move a few photos using the organiser to an external harddrive as a trial but noticed that the photos are all stored straight onto the external harddrive and not kept in the subfolders that they are in on my harddrive. Is there a way to keep them in the subfolders - which is basically mostly folders indicating the date they were taken?
I also noticed that PSE 9 organiser is very slow - I have a lot of photos and a lot in raw - about 21000. Is it better to use LR to catalogue them?
Last question, has anyone else experienced problems since upgrading to Mavericks when using PSE9? Is there a fix? I read that upgrading to Yosemite has improved how PSE9 works but after my previous experience with upgrading to Mavericks I am not in a rush to upgrade.
Thanks

Sorting My Folders in Photoshop Elements 12

I have Photoshop Elements 12 and realize that the folder structure is sorted alphabetically. As I have hundreds of folders named by date (for example 2014-12-01), I would like for the newest to be at the top. However, I can not find this sorting function and thus I have to scroll way down each time I open the programme. Is there really no way to sort My Folders or at least change the order of sorting so it becomes reversed?
I've tried to search for this answer but only find a lot of discussion about sorting actual picture files, which is not my issue.
Thanks for any help!

I want to know if it's possible to copy and paste a photo into multiple different folders. So far I've been unable to do this.
No, the organizer is a catalog based management system, and its principle is that it takes great care to avoid creating duplicates. Instead it can create collections of files (called 'albums') which are kinds of 'playlists' which can contain links to the same image. You can have several albums including (that is 'pointing to') the same image. That does not create duplicates.
What the organizer can do is to 'export as new file' a file to another location anywhere. The 'exported' file is not included (registered, cataloged...) in the catalog, but it"s available for other softwares.

Using PS Elements 11 on a Mac how can one replicate Finder folders in the Elements Organiser view?

Hi all - I have found the Organiser folder structure quite confusing and it does not seem to replicate the Finder folder structure other than randomly, unlike Bridge in PS for PC which I also use.
I would love to be able to create folders in elements or simply do so in Finder and find them show up in elements Organiser. It seems to me that only once I have saved an image to a folder in the Finder does it show up in the Organiser folder view. Is this correct?
Any suggestions around a sensible workflow or approach here would be most welcome, thanks. Sean

Many thanks Andaleeb - yes I have tried that and it seems only to add to the confusion - folders which in the Finder clearly show all my images are blank in PSE Organiser with the statement that they still have to be imported into PS Organiser. I guess that may be my fault because, due to the problems in locating files in Organiser I right clicked on them in the Finder and said 'open with PSE'. So in effect I bypassed PSE Organiser. But one would still have hoped that the folder hierarchy would be the same in Organiser and the Finder. Very confusing! I have never seen a program deal with folders etc in the way PSE does.
all the best
Sean

Why can't lightroom across different folders like Photoshop Elements can?

I have access to Lightroom through CC and I'd like to use it more, but it cannot do a very basic thing that Photoshop Elements, a consumer-oriented product, has been doing for years. That is, stack across different folders. I keep my large RAW files on an external hard drive but keep the edited .jpg files on my computer's main drive. In the Elements library I stack those photos and any other versions such as .psd files. Very useful and I don't understand why this has never been possible in Lightroom.
An additional wish is that I could import my Elements library into Lightroom, complete with stacking, keywords, etc. That would be fantastic.

This blog will explain how to install Elements as an external editor in lightroom. The main thing to remember it to point Lightroom to the EDITOR and not the Elements Startup screen where you can choose Organizer or Editor. If you don't point to the EDITOR the photo will not show up in Elements

Hello,
I have looked at similar items on the forum and one suggestion there has worked . This was to open Organiser with the shift key pressed. This brings up the catalog manager, I then made a new catalog and added some pictures: BINGO everything back to normal. I assume that I must have lost or corrupted the original catalog,

My photoshop elements organiser does not respond. I have tried reinstalling elements without success

I am using Windows 8 and this problem has happened recently. The problem occurs whether I choose "EDIT" and try to click on "ORGANISER" or go directly to the Organiser. Any suggestions please, I am using Elements 9.
Brian.

Removing unwanted items in photoshop elements 12

I have looked at a video tutorial for removing unwanted items in a photo and followed the procedure using the spot healing brush trying both content aware & proximity match types but for some reason once I've selected the item the program doesn't actually do anything, so nothing changes. The item is still there exactly as it was before. I also tried using the magnetic lasso & but don't know how to get rid of the item once I've selected it. Can anyone help me with this issue?

I used the clone stamp tool.
Place the cursor over the rocks to the left of the sign (source area), then hold down the ALT key and left click. Let go, then place the cursor over the sign and left click.
You can adjust the size of the cursor with the bracket keys on the keyboard next to the letter P.

In photoshop elements 12 I try to delete a folder but the delete option is grayed out. how can I delete a folder from my catalogue?

how can I delete folders from photoshop elements 12. the option to delete is grayed out an I don't know what the alternative options are

Got it fixed! The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed? To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
Then change the Open With to iPhoto application!
Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto! WALLA it worked!

Premiere Elements file type for Elements Organiser

I use PSE13 organiser ( for pictures and movies) and editor. I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 and have just edited my first movie.
I would like to only access Premiere Elements via the Photoshop Elements organiser, but I am unsure what file type to save my Premiere edited files, so that they can be imported and tagged in the Elements organiser, and also played via the elements organiser.
I only want to run one organiser. Is this possible and what should I be saving my final Premiere files as after editing. ( in the same way that I save a PSD file to a JPG once editing is complete in elements editor.
Thanks

Your choice of export to conform to the support of the Elements Organizer seems limiting to me. But....
If I have a 1080p30 Timeline in Premiere Elements 13 Editor project and export it
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
That file saved to the computer hard drive can be taken into the Elements Organizer 13
a. displaying a thumbnail with an image from the video
and
b. can be played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player.
I have not gone through all the export choices to sort out which formats will do likewise. But, this particular AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080p30) result is
as described.
What is your export choice now and is the end product importing into the Elements Organizer 13, displaying there, and playing back from there?

How do I transfer photos and related tags from Photoshop Elements 5 to a new iMac Apple desktop computer

Is it possible to move all my photos , Tags and folders in Photoshop Elements 5 from my Vista machine to my new Apple iMac desktop?

You will need to upgrade PSE in windows to at least PSE 9, then do a full backup using the organizer's backup command to a removable drive, then restore to the mac. The mac organizer can only understand windows catalogs from PSE 9 or later.
You can download a trial version here to get the catalog updated:
