Version Sets

I have just started using Elements 12, sometimes when after editing an image, saving it as a version set does not work. When you close the editor I get the message "new images found in watched folders" it is the edited version of the image and I have to make a stack using the stack option under edit. After closing and reopening Elements the stacks of the images where this error has happened are all opened which is annoying.  Am I doing something wrong or is it a fault with the program?  I am using it on a PC with OS Windows 7.

Hi again,
I am sure there is definiely a glitch with PE12. This am I created a new album containing 3 unedited images (jpeg), tagged them, openend the tag, edited the images (under "expert" editing) and saved them as version sets. Two were fine but the third one did not save as a Version Set.  I could not find the edited image in Photoshop.  It was in my original folder on the hard drive but photoshop would not recognise it until I had manually imported it.  I made a stack with it but the same thing happened as before; i.e on closing and reopening Elements the stack was open and the edited image marked "NON MATCH"!  I repeated this with three more images and the same thing happened on one of them - Strange!

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

  • Can no longer save edited images in version set with PS 10.

    I've been using PS 10 for many months and have been able to save my edited raw images as jpgs in version sets.  I can no longer do this.  The edited images save on the hard drive but not in the PS organizer...thank you for any help you can offer....

    Ok, you need to know what you want to do with your image. For example if it's for the web the best way to save to jpg is..  File-Save for Web, then you will see a Box with four pages,,  you can choose: Original which is going to be your original image,... Optimized which is a Lower quality version. 2-Up and 4-Up.
    when you click on 4-Up Tab you see your original image in the top left, Also you have your image in 3 different windows with different file size and speed. You can click on each window and inside the Preset in Top right choose JPEG. and you can change the quality from Low to High or Drag the Quality Slider for different quality.
    NOTE: when you do File-Save For Web,, you are going to have a flatten Image.. you will loose your Layers.
    It is always better if you shoot your images In higher Res, such as 240, or 300 dpi, and later Down-sample the image to a lower quality for the web. If you have the original image at Higher Res, First you should Go to Image Image-size For Example Height 1200 Pixel. If you go ahead and save the file for the web then you don't need to change the Resolution. don't forget to Sharpen your image when you Down-sample

  • Version sets in 12 not working correctly

    Do other people have an issue in Photoshop Elements 12 with it not consistently saving photos in version sets?  someties it works correctly and somethimes it doesn't and it also bumps me out stating it is a new photo.  i do have it configured to always save in version sets and to not notify me with new photos?
    Emily

    Thank you so much.  We'll see if this fixes the problem.  I had worked with
    Adobe for many many hours in August and they couldn't figure out why it was
    doing this.  how come they don't know their own product!!!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Edited photos not appearing in the organizer as version sets.

    Ever since I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12 I have experienced one problem after another.  Now I have a new problem.  While editing RAW files in PSE 12, the edits are basically disappearing and are not being tracked in the Organizer in version sets.  However, when I reopen the RAW file it appears that the changes made in the RAW editor are still selected.  I also am still having problems with some of the files disconnecting in the Organizer.  It starts out with a few files disconnecting and eventually they all start disconnecting and then I have to close down the app and then relaunch it.  Sometimes I actually reboot the PC.
    I have repaired the catalog and run the optimizer.  I tried optimizing first but got an error so I ran the repair first, no errors but selected repair anyway and then was able to get the catalog optimized.  It worked for about 15 minutes and then the edits started disappearing again.
    VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!

  • PSE 13 version set

    I'm unable to view, manage or otherwise use version set options in PSE 13 (Windows 8.1) even though the set is created and the set exists and can be viewed in File Explorer.
    It makes no difference if the set is created in the Organizer or manually saved as a copy in a version set in the Editor.
    All version set menu options are greyed out.
    I converted a catalog from PSE 10...repaired and optimized that...created a new catalog in PSE 13...no difference.
    Any clues....?

    View>Details and you should be able to work with version sets. The new adaptive grid view doesn't do versions.

  • Versions Set not saving in Organizer 9

    Using Organizer and PSE 9 on a Mac, about 13,000 photos in single catalog. 
    Had been using Versions Sets with no problem, but now the edited image is not being added to the version set.  It works okay if I do the edit in Organizer - the edited version saves in version set.  But if I go out to PSE for edits and save edited version, a version set is not created.  Using Save command in PSE and the "Save as Version Set with Original" box is checked.  Have  closed Organizer and reopened, also ran the repair catalog in Organizer, but no change.
    Thanks,

    Same issue here. Some files it works, some not. I cannot find any elements that would be causing this. I thought the file name could be too long, or contain special characters, but I have been able to make it work in some cases.
    I'm not sure forums are monitored so I guess we're just out waiting for an update that would miraculously correct this...
    In the mean time, when you do edit within an album, the edited files gets added to the catalog but not to the album, which is left with just the original. Very unuseful...
    In the hope that someone will find a solution to this.

  • PSE 12.1 not saving in version set

    I have been successfully using PSE 12.1 on Windows 7 since last August.  However I've started having problems in the last 2 or 3 days.  I start the Organizer and select a photo to edit.  When I "save as" I get one of two results.  In the first case it saves the photo in the proper folder but it does not create a version set with the original.  In the second case, the editor locks up and eventually I get a message saying the editor is not responding and windows is looking for a solution.  Usually it saves one photo as in case one above, and then fails to respond on the second photo and I shut it down.  Over the past 2 days I have uninstalled PSE 12 and reinstalled 3 times, upgrading to 12.1 each time., but I get the same result.  Any ideas what is causing this?
    Update:  I've given up.  Uninstalled for the last time; purchased PSE 13; everything working with new version.

    This is odd . Did you tried with clean preferences. To clean preferences go to "Edit Menu>PReferences>General" and click the button "Reset Preferences on next launch". Relaunch PSE.
    This is not new, already several posts on this forum and one bug report:

    Today's state of the problem seems to be that this happens not only with saving in version sets in PSE12, but also on simple saves with 'include in the organizer' checked.
    It happens on previously converted catalogs, not on new ones.
    It happens when the process 'elementsautoanalyzer.exe' is running (you can 'kill' it from the Windows task bar, but you must do it every time you start the organizer. Deleting or renaming this file seems to work.)
    This seems also to be a problem for people using the 'watched folders'.
    So, to prevent the problem : kill the elementsautoanalyzer.exe every time you start the organizer.
    To recover the edited files not included in the catalog, do a manual 'get photos and videos' from the already gotten files.
    It's important to do so, otherwise the edited files won't be catalogued and be missing if you do a backup.
    If necessary, use the automatic stacking feature by visual similarity to stack your originals with your edited versions, since you can't create version sets.

  • PSE 7...Unable to save edited photos in a version set

    I am suddenly unable to save my edited photos in a version set.  The edited photo is being saved on the hard drive but is not linked to the previous photo nor is visable in the open catalog.  This issue in occuring in only one catalog but not in others.  Thanks for any help.

    You may be encountering a known bug.  To troubleshoot:
    1. In the Organizer, select one of the problem photos (the original, not the edited), right-click it, and do Show Properties.  What is the full, precise path of the photo, shown to the right of the yellow folder icon at the bottom of the Properties window?
    2. Do Help > System Info.  What is the precise path given for Catalog Location?

  • 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.

  • Problems with version sets

    I have PSE 6. When I open a JPG from the Organizer using Full Edit and then try to save, I do not get the option to save the image in a version set (even though I do have the Organizer option checked). However, I noticed that invoking Full Edit also prompts the Organizer to say there is a new file in the watched folders. This "new" file is the very same file in the very same location. If I accept to add the file to the Organizer I get two thumbnails in the Organizer, both pointing to the same file on disk. If I do this then the "Edit In Progress" banner appears on the "new" thumbnail and the editor does allow me to add the image to the version set. I am sure that I did not have to do this before, I would expect Full Edit to just open the image, mark it in the Organizer as being edited, not try to add it back to the catalog and allow me to save the edit in a version set. What might be causing this behaviour?
    I also have similar and I think related problems with RAW images too, but I am hoping that resolving the above will resolve the RAW issue too.

    I should have said that I did try that but it still prevented me from creating a new version in a version set when saving. It is as if the editor needs to start on a copy of the Organizer's entry to allow version sets, as if the original is somehow "locked". Could that be possible?
