Using PSE catalog/organizer with CS5

I have been using PSE 7 for a while and have just transitioned to Photoshop CS5.
I would like to use the catalog from PSE for organizing photos, and PS CS5 for editing.
In the PSE preferences I have tried to notify PSE that I want to use PS CS5 as the supplementary editor. All I get is a message that says I do not need to choose PS as the other editor as PSE already supports using PS from the edit menu and edit toolbar (which I can`t see how that would happen).
It is my guess that PSE catalog/organizer and PS CS5 do not interact, and that I can use both but independently.
Is my guess correct?

Thanks, MTSTUNER. I now see that option in PSE Edit menu. However, when I select it there is a message that Thumbnails are being updated, and a copy of the photo is made in the organizer. PS does not launch, and if I launch PS first, the photo still does does not appear in PS.

Using PSE 7 Organizer with other editors?

I use NX2 for most of my editing but want to get PSE7 to catalogue my photos across folders. Does PSE7 allow right clicking to "open with" another editor? I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that it will update thumbnails if edited and saved in a another editor designated as "supplementary" but I haven't been able to figure out if you can easily open the file for editing in another editor directly from the organizer.
Thanks
Chris

The PSE Organizer does indeed support supplementary editors. You select a file in the Organizer, do Edit > Edit with
editor.

Is anyone successfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5

Hello all,
I greatly want to use Digieffects Camera Mapper with After Effects CS5 in Windows 7..
http://digieffects.com/product/camera_mapper
But it keeps crashing my installation of After Effects.
I'm using the demo CS5 version downloaded from the DigieEffects website. Digieffects support says the demo version works the same as the paid version (except for the watermark.). No problem there -- if I can get the demo version to work then I will buy it.
Digieffects support says it works fine with their Windows 7 CS5 installation of After Effects.
I went so far as to completley reinstall windows and reinstall CS5 master collection. But after all that work I get the same crash.
We are talking about a clean install of Windows 7 and a clean install of the CS5 master collection with nothing else installed on the computer.
And I keep getting the crash.
So my question here, is anyone succesfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5. Are there any tips that I should know of. Please look at my screen captuers of the steps I take which end up in a crash.
As I said this is a new (just a few hours old) installation of Windows 7 Professional and a new (just a few hours old) installation of CS5 Master Collection. No other plug-ins or programs installed.
Thanks
...Rowby

I'm sorry to say I have not heard from Digieffects regarding Windows 7 CS5 compatibility with Camera Mapper.
It is strange because I've had at least one phone call from them, and then a few weeks ago they said they confirmed there was a problem and their engineer was working on it, and I should expect to receive an update of the plug-in that works with Windows 7 CS5.
Since then I haven't heard a peep, even though I sent them 2 follow up support requests.
In my case I was testing a demo, but Digieffects support said the demo was the same as the non-demo version (except for the demo watermark).
Below is a link to Digieffects' compatibility page which shows that Camera Mapper is compatible with CS5.
http://www.digieffects.com/support/compatibility
Their silence on this issue, after their assurances to me that a fix is eminent, is baffling.
Below is Digieffects support's last communication with me, on October 11.

Rowby,
I think the engineer has this one figured out. Turned out to be a problem in the plugin- I will send you an updated one at some point today as soon as I recieve it from the engineer. Thanks for your patience and help with this one

Anyone using GridIron NucleoPro 3 with cs5/cs6 please?

hello, this is probably digging up bones from the past
however, are there any users using GridIron NucleoPro 3 with cs5/cs6?
just wanting to chitchat about it if possible
thanks in advance, j

I still have one machine configured with CS5 and Nucleo Pro, because it offers some functionality that AE->AME workflow does not.
AME is a great way to background render individual output files, but it lacks the sophistication of the Render Queue when you need to render specifics and multiple files. I have an ongoing job that requires the weekly generation of around 30 categories of an award show. Each category (project) requires the output of two video files and two stills from specific parts of the timeline of one comp. These output parameters, including output formats, locations and in-out points, are stored in the project template's Render Queue. As far as I'm aware, there's no easy way to move all these parameters to AME easily - a great deal of manual interaction would be required to generate each of the 120 output files from 30 projects each week. Whereas, using Nucleo I just hit render and keep working. It's literally a one click workflow.
It's a shame there isn't a "Send After Effects Render Queue to Adobe Madia Encoder" function. I must lodge a feature request.
Nucleo Pro does a great job of background rendering, and I do miss it's availability in later versions of AE. There is also a script available over at AE Scripts that background renders.

Best strategy for using ACR7 in LR4 with CS5?

Although all my cameras are supported by ACR6, I would like to use the new process 2012 of ACR7. I would like to try LR4 (giving ACR7) but don't really want the expense of upgrading from CS5 to CS6 since I don't need any of the CS6 new facilities. But I would like to try the file organisation facilities of LR4 instead of Bridge (as well as having ACR7 of course).
I read that PSD files exported from LR4/ACR7 are not compatible with CS5. Is this correct? If so, is there a way around this, so that I can do final tweaks in CS5 to a 16bit file processed and output by LR4/ACR7?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

As far as I've heard, you should get PS CS6 if you plan to use LR4. Full stop.
But, I did hear that there is a 'release candidate' version of ACR6.7 you can get from here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/03/adobe-camera-raw-6-7-and-dng-converter-6-7 -available-on-adobe-labs.html. This wont show up if you try 'Auto Update' for whatever reasons. Hasn't for me, at least!
There have been no complaints with the compatibility of the ACR6.7 RC with LR4 and PS CS5.

Using PSE 9 Organizer Mac

I have all my images stored in various folders with the folder names being events or whatever. Is there any way to retain this structure in Organizer as I import photos? Perhaps albums can be used instead of instead of events. I tried directly importing into an album but apparently you cannot do this. Adobe Bridge retains the file structure.

Elements Organizer supports iPhoto version 8.0 - 8.1.2.
Select Files > Get Photos And Videos > From iPhoto.

Using PSE Catalog Files in Lightroom

I just purchased Lightroom 4.0. Will I be able to import and convert a PSE-7 catalog and thumbnail DB files into Lightroom, or will I have to reimport all items, folder or image at a time?

Gosh, there were two replies to this topic, one disappeared. I imagine I know what's going on there.
In any event, thanks to both of you for the answers and links. I bought Lightroom in the hope that its import and thumbnail generation speed will be superior to that of PSE-7 when confronted with high image count catalogs.
I'm also hoping I can follow the normal procedure for transferring images from one computer to another. IE, copy the images to an new drive, rename that drive file path to the donor drive's, place the catalog and Thumbs DB file where Lightroom can find them, and open the catalog. (Without installing PSE-7 on the destination computer).
I have an answer for you on the frequently asked question, "how many images can PSE handle"?
PSE-5 crapped out on me at about 330,000! As the image count increases, the time between the necessity to run, "catalog > recover" decreases dramatically, and at a certain point, the catalog becomes unrecoverable. I confess to not knowing if this is dependent on image count, total size in GB of image files, or size of the catalog and and thumb DB files themselves.
So, I grabbed Lightroom 4 while I could still get the DVD version. As I'm sure you already know, Adobe is planning to discontinue DVDs of CS product sometime in April, this year.
I expect this is part of Adobe's inexorable march toward subscription only software. Something to look forward to, eh? Another monthly bill in addition to Cable, electric, 3 or 4 phone bills, etc......
Thanks again.

Thoughts on using a Sony Vaio with CS5 for HD event video projects?

Basically I would need to use my Sony Vaio F12 laptop to edit HD wedding videos on CS5. I wanted some opinions on my equipment so i will be able to edit a long project(about an hour to 2 hours) smoothly with no dropped frames, errors, system crashes, etc. So I would basically i need a setup that can keep up.
Specs: Sony Vaio - Intel Quad Core i7 1.73 Ghz(Mobile version), 6 gig ram, 500 gb 7200 rpm HD, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M(1GB dedicated video memory)
I know I would at least have to use an external HD from the video and audio. I have a 1TB Samsung Story external USB and another 1 TB one that is eSata but am having problems with the esata port on the Sony.
Would this be adequate or would their be some obvious areas that you could see causing problems? I'm thinking the USB external might cause a bottleneck for one.

The assumption for why there is negligible performance gain is incorrect. If they changed the speed of the CPU and had an understanding how CUDA works they would probably have seen that. The GPU can only perform as well as the CPU allows it. What this means is the CPU has to process the threads before sending the appropriate data to the GPU for processing via the System ram. There are many factors that effect CUDA and especially performance with the MPE. The biggest though is the processor. If you set a GPU monitor utility, you can monitor the activity on the GPU while the CPU is at stock speed and then at overclocked. You will see a sizable difference in performance/usage on the GPU and GPU ram based on the speed of the CPU. What this tells you is that the GPU may be the best performing you can get but it will sit more than 90% idle if the CPU is taking to long to process the data it requires. CUDA sends threads to all available CUDA cores and is not limited at all like CPU threading. It literally just throws threads out there to the cores in simple terms. The assumption is incorrect in the link you reference.

Using local/testing server with cs5 inserting images look fine in the split screen but do not show

Hi
If I open example: header.php and insert any photo jpeg/.html ecs i can see the images in the split screen but not in the browser if i save then refresh. I am able to make any change to the code ecs. and they are reflected just fine. I have tried this with my fireworks images .html and when that did not work i tried a strait jpeg off the desktop. This all did not work. I have deleted the local server then step by step created a new one via devnet instruction. This did not work! everything looks fine i even tried in 3 sep browsers with 0 luck....There is no remote server connected at this time because i am making a child theme for my current site. After all changes are done we will the ftp the word press files to site and change.
Ps i even started over from scratch with 0 positive affects....

After a lot of pain!!!!!!! the issue is fixed lol After 3 weeks I have overlooked the obvious !!! so the simple fix was the path of the image. Yes i feel stupid 10 years in lol....
Apparently dreamweaver cs 5 will not use the full path when inserting images into the page example: If you drag the image out of your assets folder or however you do it, DW will give you a path like this <img src="images/glass.jpg" width="800" height="729"> This is not the full path and when your pist!!! you cant see things like that ;( so the image path should look like this:
<img src="wp-content/themes/adszoom/images/glass.jpg" width="800" height="729">
also in the html files example of bad then good!

Opening PC CS4 files using my new Mac with CS5

I finally switched over to a MacBook Pro, and purchased CS5 Master Suite for the Mac as well. However, I have been running CS4 on my PC for the last few years and have 1000's of files that were created in this format.
However, when I try to open these files created in Fireworks CS4 on my new software and machine, it will not let me do so.
Are there any steps or actions that I need to take to make these viewable and editable in CS5 Mac?
Please advise.....

I've not experienced this problem. Were the files ever opened and saved within Photoshop? Can you currently open one/any of the files in CS4 with no problems?

How to using Air2.7 sdk with cs5.5?

I had download Air2.7 and upzip it, copy it to cs5.5 folder.
like below...
1. Download AIR 2.7 SDK
2. Unzip, etc. Rename to AIR2.7
3. Copy/Move to Flash Pro install folder (alongside AIR2.6)
4. Go to /Common/Configuration/Players/
5. Make a copy of AdobeAIR2_6.xml and rename to AdobeAIR2_7.xml
6. Find & Replace all 2.6 to 2.7, 2_6 to 2_7
7. Go to /AIR2.7/frameworks/libs/air/
8. Copy airglobal.swc
9. Go to /Common/Configuration/Actionscript 3.0
10. Make a new folder, AIR2.7
11. Paste the airglobal.swc into this folder
But it doesn't working, my cpu option is slow better than gpu mode in ipad.
Someone help me~~~

Until there is a proper updater, it's much simpler to just expand the sdk, rename it as AIR2.6, rename your exist AIR2.6 folder to something like AIR2.6old, and move the 2.7 one in there too. Then when you build things they are AIR2.7, even if the folder is named AIR2.6.
Hopefully when there is an updater it will also give you access to new AIR2.7 abilities, such as being able to do an interpreter build.

PSE8 Organizer with PSE9 Editor

I'm trying to use the PSE8 Organizer with the PSE9 Editor (don't like what they did to folder view in PSE9 Organizer).   I've tried to do it two ways: by setting the PSE9 Editor as a supplemental editor and by replacing all the files in the Photoshop Elements 8.0 directory with the files from the Photoshop Elements 9 directory.
The supplemental editor method results in:
a new version of the file being opened is created in      the organizer each time and that file is what is pulled into the editor (it's named _edited_# and added to a version set of the original each time)
can only get into edit from the edit menu (ie,      supplemental editor doesn't appear in right click drop down) - can learn      to live with this if item 1 can be corrected.
Files don't get locked in the Organizer when they get      opened - can learn to live with this, too
Replacing the files in the directory results in
The PSE9 editor opens when selecting "Edit with      Photoshop Elements" from right click drop down (or from Edit menu) but it doesn't bring a       file into the editor.
If I use the open command from the editor, it brings      the file in but doesn't lock it
Same problem with not recognizing the Organizer as      above.
Anyone have any ideas?
Note: I poked around in the registry a little but nothing jumped out at me immediately (adding the key for "CurrentCatalogPath" in the 9.0 section of Elements Organizer under the CURRENT_USER software key stopped the message that the organizer wasn't being used but still did not allow me the options to save changes in the Elements Organizer or add to version set)

I agree with your view point about PSE 8 Organizer. I also like it better for the same reason.. My work around is having 2 monitors. I keep PSE8 organizer on the left and PSE9 Editor on the right. Then I drag across. My catalog paths and settings in Both organizers is the same. Edited items from PSE9 will show up in 8....make sure your "watched folders" settings are set and the same in both organizers. Its a bit clunky...but it works for me...but I'm just a new guy to PSE.

PSE 7 Organizer crash/stall/fail

I've been using PSE 7 Organizer in Windows XP without problems for quite awhile. Recently, the program locks up on the first image in the library. The hourglass shows and it says "generating thumbnails," yet nothing seems to happen. I generally have to hard exit the program (using the Task Manager). Please help.

HI Alex,
Try the following:
1). Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0" and rename the 'Organizer' folder to 'Organizer_OLD'.
2). Now, go to the catalog location and move the 'thumb.5.cache' file to the desktop. The default location for your catalog can possibly be either of these:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Username>\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<Catalog Name>
Or,
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<Catalog Name>.
Hope this helps!

I can't stack photos (previously in version sets) imported via "Upgrade PSE Catalog". Why not?

I am currently using LR 3.6 on a Windows 7 OS/ HP laptop. Previously, I organized my photos using PSE 9 Organizer. When I switched to LR 3, I selected the option to upgrade my PSE Catalog to bring my photos into LR. LR imported all the photos and keywords/ratings but not my version sets or smart albums. I understand LR doesn't have version sets so I was willing to manually restack my photos but now LR is not giving me that option. Any pictures that were previously in a PSE version set are showing as unstackable (all the stack options are grayed out) even if they are located in the same folder on my hard drive. I'm having trouble finding anything on the web that addresses this issue. Any help/direction would be much appreciated as my catalog is rather cumbersome at the moment.
Thank you,
Sierra

If dj_paige's suggestions don't help, check to make sure that Lightroom thinks both photos are in the same folder. When I converted from PSE 8, I had some photos in version sets in the same actual folder that LR thought were in different folders whose name differed only by case (e.g. "MyFolder" and "myfolder"). Thus, LR refused to stack the photos upon catalog conversion.
You can check this by selecting each of the suspsect photos in turn, right-clicking, and selecting Go To Folder In Library.

Adding People in PSE 11 Organizer

I've just started using PSE 11 Organizer and tried to add some of my pictures to People. I selected several photos in the Media Room and then clicked the Add people button. After a brief time, a dialog momentarily appeared and then immediatly closed and a ghost message appeared saying "No new people in your selection". I tried other different selections but all with the same result. I checked the People tab and there are no people listed there. What am I doing wrong?

Go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis
Ensure People recognition is switched on.
