Version sets in Elements 12

I have just upgraded from 8. I can load my Raw file ok (.NEF) into the raw converter and make adjustments as necessary. However, when I open the image and then save as, although the version sets option is ticked, it does not appear back in the organiser. The file is on the hard disk ok, but does not seem to be accessable from the orhganiser. I've seen some other people are having similar issues with version sets in elements 12 but I can't see what the soluton is.

Thanks for this advice. I killed ElementsAutoanalyzer.exe as described and this has partially solved the problem. Now when I open the image from the raw converter, and then immediately Save As, I get the options for save to organiser and include in version set ticked, the file is saved but doesn't appear in the organiser. If I then Save a second time (the option Save As is disabled), I get only the option to include it in the organiser (the include in version set option is disabled). This time, after checking ok to overwrite the existing file, it is included in the organiser next to the original file. Further editing of this file does save to a version set, so you end up with the original file and then a version set of all the edits. This is ok, although not ideal as it wastes space in the organiser.

  • Problems using version set in Elements 9

    Hi!
    I have problems using the version set. When saving files in the Element 9 editor I can not mark the "version set" option, its not highlighted and not possible to mark or use. Is there a basic setting that I´m missing or??? I have the MAC version of Elements.
    Also I have noticed that when I have edited a file in the Elements 9 editor and I come back to the Organizer the editor have changed the time of the photo? This means that its rather difficult to find the photo in the Organiser. It often change the time 1 or 2 hours.
    As I cant use the version set I can not keep my tags on the edited pictures. Is there a setting for keeping the tags and catalogue belongings to a edited file?
    As of today this software makes no sense to me and I can basically not keep working with it as it does not support basic functionality that I´m dependent on.

    I’m not seeing this in my own version sets in PSE9; when I expand the set every image has the same date and time under each thumbnail.
    I’m wondering if you have used the “save for web” command at some point, which
     wipes all EXIF metadata, including the date & time of the original - in order to optimize the image for display on the internet. So if you have imported such an image Elements has to make an estimate. Apart from this known scenario I can’t really explain what’s going on.

  • Problem with version sets in Elements 12

    I have just started using elelments 12.  I have been having problems with inconsistency in forming version sets.  Some sets forms as expected.  However, quite often after editing, when returning to Organizer the edited picture is not in a version set with the original and in fact is not even visible.  I can get to the edited version only through the "Open" tab in the Editor.  I have check the appropriate "Save in version set" in the save menu. Suggestions? 

    Seems you have the same problem :

    The source of the problem is not clearly found today. It seems that happens on previously converted catalogs.
    A workaround seems to have been found : killing the autoanalyzer.exe process in the task manager.

    I recommend you ask that in the PSE forum. I'm sure there is some import/ export hocuspocus involved...

  • Support Photoshop Elements 5 Stacks and Version Sets

    I would like to see stacks in Lightroom that work the same way as those in the Photoshop Elements 5 Organizer. PSE5 stacks are far more capable than Lightroom ones. (Can stack across multiple folders, can include version sets in stacks, etc.)
    Additionally, I would love to see support for PSE5 Version Sets. These are similar to the "Stack with original" option, but work more smoothly (latest version is always automatically on top, for example).
    Since Adobe has already implemented these in PSE5, you would think it would be pretty simple to also include them in Lightroom.

  • PS Elements Version Sets = Duplicate Images in Revel

    I am using Elements 12 and Revel. I have a very large library with many version sets containing my master RAW file and an edited JPG copy. Prior to Revel acepting RAW files, I had no problem. Only my JPEGs were uploaded. Now however, I am seeing hundreds of duplicate photo images in my library, ie both the master RAW and my JPEG of the exact same image. While I love the fact that Revel can accept RAW images I am now frustrated over the fact that I have to scroll through so many duplicate images when viewing my photos on my iPad. Is there any way to hide images in Revel? Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (prevent Revel from uploading both the RAW and JPEG images in a version set) or having an option to hide either the RAW or JPEG image after Revel uploads them?
    Mark

    PS Elements creates and uploads the JPEG versions for RAW files. As a workaround for this problem, you can create an album under library  in PS Elements and add all the RAW files to this album. This way all the JPEG versions of RAW files would be present in an album and this change would be propagated to iPad as well. So it would help in filtering out duplicate JPEG versions in your library.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 (Mac) Organizer - Can't save file with version sets.

    I have spent many hours now trying to get Elements Organizer to save Version Sets when I've edited a photo. I've tried more or less every little thing you can find online without any luck. But just moments ago I found that if I move the file to my desktop everything works just fine. I then tried to edit files in a few other folders (also imported to my Organizer) and found that when ever the folder was named to something with a nordic letter in it (å, ä, ö) then I couldn't save my file with version sets (option greyed out) but if I moved that same file to another folder, well then everything worked as it's suposed to.
    I'm using the trial version of PSE 13 for Mac (Yosemite) and the full version is ordered and on it's way. But if this problem can't be fixed, I need to return that order and buy some other photo editing program.
    Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there perhaps a solution to this?
    Please, any help is much appreciated!

    I'm using the English version (as more or less always - Swedish is rarely an option). The thing is that I have never encountered this problem before in any other software I've been using, and certainly not in Aperture that I've been using up until now.
    I name my photo folders with a date and a few words, for ex. "2014-12-31 New Years in Stockholm" (but I normally write in Swedish). I use this method so that my folder that contains the original photos will be easy to find in even without any other software than Finder (or Windows Explorer if I connect my external drive to a Windows machine). I could change the name of all of my folders, or at least all of the folders with a name containing one or more of the letters Å, Ä or Ö to "force" PSE to work as it should, but why? This really shouldn't be a problem.
    I was hoping that their was a simple option or something like that that could fix this issue, but I guess not.
    If this problem lies in the software itself I will have to return it and look elsewhere (but where? Lightroom is certainly not an option if Adobe can't handle "normal" letters and Aperture is discontinued in a few months).
    Thank you for your reply!

  • Elements 12 version set issue in Organizer

    The inclusion of edited versions in the Elements 12 Organizer inexplicably stopped working with in the last 3 weeks (I've had the software since June 2014). If I navigate to the edited photo in Windows Explorer, it is there but I cannot see it in the Organizer media window or folder view. It's as if it is invisible to the Elements 12 program.  I have tried importing into the Organizer but it tells me the file all ready exist. To which I say, duh? I know that. I have not downloaded any new software, only standard updates, and to my knowledge, nothing has changed on my PC. Any suggestions as to what the issue is?

    Thank you for the reply, MichelBParis.
    I have done as suggested. Adobe Application Manager says my "applications are all up-to-date as of 1 minute ago."
    Below is a copy of system info.
    Elements Organizer 12.0.0.0

  • Elements 5.0 doesn't save to version set

    Hi,
    I have been using Elements 5.0 for a while without any problems. Recently it will not allow me to save an edited picture to a version set. It allows me to edit it OK, and it does save, but it doesn't show as a version set. It won't even do it if I force it manually using FILE, SAVE AS and then checking the version set box. My old version sets that I have done previously show up OK, but not the new.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Some preference setting somewhere or maybe the program is corrupt?
    If I can't get this to work, does anyone know if I will have a problem uninstalling and reinstalling the program? Does it uninstall cleanly or are preferences left behind?
    Thanks,
    Pam

    Open the Organizer and do a File->Catalog->Recover.

  • Elements 11 problem with Saving to Version Set

    I have upgraded toElements 11 but when i go to save a file to " save in version set with original" it will not let me, as the  tick box is blanked out?

      It maybe a question of permissions. Are you running from an administrators account or a user account? If the latter do you have full read/write permissions for the application? What operating system do you have ?
    On Windows try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. Make sure you have the correct file path as there is more than one exe file. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
      N.B. on 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files 
    Right click on each of the new desktop icons and launch by choosing “Run As Administrator”
    Keep both applications running but try to edit and save a photo as before.

  • Why don't PS Elements 12 edited photos properly save in version sets after editing?

    This is a problem that never occurred in PS Elements 11. But if I edite a photo that is currently in Organizer with PS Element Editor and save it after editing, it only gets properly included in Organizer and made part of the version set about 20% of the time. The rest of the time the edited file gets saved in the same folder as the original but has not been added to Organizer. The appropriate check boxes in the Save As screen are checked. But 4 out of 5 times it behaves as if the boxes are not checked.  I have done several photos in sequence and used the same exact keystrokes and only one or two will be included in the version set. I then have to go "Get" the version and bring it into Organizer and tell the program to Stack the two photos. It is a pain to do it that way. Does anybody have a clue why it is not working as it is suppose to?

    Known bug in converted catalogs. It works correctly if you create a new catalog or a workaround for converted catalogs is to kill the ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe process in Task Manager.

  • Elements 13 expand version sets

    Just installed PS Elements 13 and cannot expand version sets. I can go into Editor and open the original of the version set, but when I save that photo, it replaces the existing one in the organizer. Geez.

    Well, I discovered the problem. Under "View", you must check "Details" to get the version set expansion arrow.

  • Organizer view has no spaces between the pictures.  How do I see the arrows to see the elements of a version set

    My organizer view does not look like the view in the tutorials.  The photos are all lined up in a solid mass with no gray space in between.  I can't see arrows to view elements of a version set, and the photos are difficult to pick out individually.  I thought about just deleting all the photos and importing them again, but I can't because the program keeps saying they are already in the organizer.   When I delete the album the photos are in, they are still in the organizer and still in a solid mass. I also can't seem to find any way to delete the sample photos.  So I have two questions: how to delete photos from the program and how to fix the view.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Go to the View menu and select Details or Ctrl & D
    It changes back to the classic grid display
    To delete pictures from the catalog, select the picture(s) and then press the Delete key. You will then be asked if you want to also delete them from the hard drive. Make your own choice as required.

  • Keeping version sets in slide show in Elements 4

    I use Elements 4 in Microsoft XP Home to create slide shows, incorporating filters (e.g. posterize to be more creative for chapters introductions).  How can I keep the original in the slide show and also the new version? I have tried everything , but I lose either the original or the new version.

    This approach can work in some versions of PSE, but I do not have 4 installed on the system I am currently using to check it specifically.You cold try this if you have not already attempted it.
    Use a different name for the slide show when you save the slideshow project.
    This is not a version set the same as edited photos have version sets where the photos are grouped together with specific commands to manage the version set.  However, it might give you two separate slide shows (with two separate thumbnails in the PSE Organizer).  Then those slideshows could be  manipulated individually (separately).
