What is new in Photoshop elements organizer

Are there any changes to the photoshop elements organizer from version 8 to 9

I agree.  In some ways it is a real step backward.  I would not recommend "upgrading" to
PSE9 based on one day of working with it.  Lost the ability to see all files in folder view and it is
EXTREMELY SLOW.
I really wish I hadn't changed to PSE9 and converted my catalog, which it didn't fully convert properly.
Stay away from this upgrade!

  • I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started.  While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon.  How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?

    Go back to the editor and close the photo there.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer: What is the procedure to follow step by step to split a catalog of 30,000 images in 3 smaller catalogs?

    Photoshop Elements Organizer:
    For example : I have pictures taken on 6 continents all stored in the same catalog and I want to create one catalog for each continent (Africa, Asia, etc).
    How to proceed?
    Thanks

    Use tags instead of splitting the catalog. There is no built-in procedure to split catalogs.

  • Lightroom versus PhotoShop Elements Organizer and Bridge

    This is directed to the Adobe Developer Team
    I hope someone of the Developer team is reading this!!
    For my understanding the three products out of one house (PhotoShop Elements Organizer, Bridge and Lightroom) doing about the same, should ...
    work the same (same idea, same behaviour, organizing by path/subfolders instead of cataloges etc.)
    maintain the same database and files (LR should recognize the collections from BR and Vice Versa, use the same cache files etc.) and should
    be compatible to each other (e.g. Tags, Collections etc)
    Actually I suggest ADOBE
    to eliminate Organizer and integrate the good functions into BRIDGE (e.g. albums, upload to flickr, webpage generation etc)
    give BRIDGE as the free of charge picture organizer to PS Elements and to PS CS
    change LIGHTROOM into an payable upgrade of BRIDGE with enhanced functionality of the free of charge BRIDGE, (which can work as a stand-alone software as it does today
    better integration of PSE, PS CS into Bridge/Lightroom (e.g. Panaorama function opens only PS CS but the version of PSE works much better, so I want to choose in the menu of Bridge/Lightroom)
    I am really struggling with the three of them.
    Beside that I suggest to get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom with it's import/export and synchronization needs and instead use or at least integrate the idea of BRIDGE to get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders, as this is anyhow how the way pictures are stored already for most of us... I asume. I doubt that anybody just throw all files into one big subdirectory and get the organized into cataloges. But please keep collections as they are helpful to quickly collect some pictures to commonly work on them. by drag & drop. The Catalogues of LR drives me crazy but LR have a lot of nice functions (e.g. Webupload interfaces to flickr and others, nice noice reduction, nice albums and webpage functions, etc.)
    Thanks
    Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year

    PS: Please all of you comment your experience and opinion on this matter ... I am interested what you think about it.

    Hi George,
    Whereas Bridge and Photoshop Elements (and most non-LR users) base their organisation on the file / folder structure, Lightroom uses files / folders simply for storage - the catalog is used for organisation. This 'catalog based approach' provides far more flexibility, both in organisation, and in recording a complete, fully-reversible record of all edits made to each photograph.
    To suggest that Adobe "get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom" and "get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders" would remove almost ALL advantages Lightroom has over Bridge & PS Elements combined. To fully appreciate Lightroom, you need to appreciate that files and folders are not the only way to organise photos. Why not watch a few of the Adobe Lightroom Tutorial videos? This link below takes you to a video explaining about the Catalog;
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
    However, if you really want Adobe to hear your views, why not raise a Feature request with them, at this link below;
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    I'm sure if you call your feature request 'Remove Catalog from Lightroom, and organise by Folders instead', it'll get noticed, as will any forum posts of the same name...
    Cheers,
    Alan

  • Lightroom vs Photoshop Elements Organizer

    I don't know Lightroom, but a friend suggested it as a solution to my problem, so here goes:
    I have a subscription to CC (and have used Creative Suite for years). I use CC at work, but for my personal, non-work photos, I have always used Photoshop Elements Organizer, because I have never found its equal -- as an organizer. Also, I have invested a massive amount of effort into tagging every photo (about 30,000 images, more than 10 years' worth) with keywords.
    I have no interest in Photoshop Elements' other features. I have CC for anything that PSE does that I care to do.
    However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
    So here's the question: Can I use Lightroom (or Bridge, perhaps) as a substitute for PSE Organizer? Does either program import PSE Organizer's catalogs? Because unless I can import what I've got, no other organizer will do it for me.
    I'd also consider another organizer product if it could import PSE catalogs, but I'm hoping there's a little gem of a program already in CC that I'm not aware of that will do the trick.
    TIA.

    I don't use the face recognition tags in PSE, but I think that those will not transfer to Lightroom, as there is no way to accomodate face recognition tags in Lightroom.
    Earlier you said
    However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PSE, since I'm already paying (have paid) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
    so why keep paying for PSE upgrades? There are rarely any new "organizing" features in PSE. Just keep using the version you have, you can probably use it for many years until your operating system won't support older versions of PSE. My PSE 5 still runs under Windows 7 and I have heard that PSE 5 runs under Windows 8.

  • Max files in Photoshop Elements Organizer

    Hello,
    I have few questions:
    1/
    Following this thread, I am wondering what is the limit of PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8 ?? How many pictures can we insert into ONE catalog ?
    2/
    I currently have 6000 pictures that I would like to import into PhotoShop Elements Organizer V8, from Adobe PhotoShop Album V1.
    Is this possible ? I tried with the trial version, but I have an error when converting the .psa file from PhotoShop Album V1, asking me to try to consolidate or repair the file in the previous program (but it works well in PhotoShop Album V1).
    Any idea ?
    3/
    Is the trial version the same than the paid one ? I mean: if I start using the trial, inserting tags and so on, should I uninstall it when buying the full version or could I just buy a serial number and inserting it to unlock the trial ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Kamayana

    John,
    You are just MARVELOUS !!!! That's awesome: your website, the informations listed in it, the work you do here on the forum !!
    Wow !!! I will purchase this product just for your support. Can I pay you to obtain a support and pay you the software ? Lol
    You replied to all my questions !
    For 2/, I read before your FAQ (I thought it was Adobe FAQ, I did not pay attention to the URL), I tried it without success (excepted item 9/ which is not possible for me, since PhotoShop Album does not allow writing metadata to files, but maybe your small program can do it ?) ...
    But since I do not give up like that, I done the following, you might add it to your FAQ ?
    1/ I used the dichotomy method. I was sure that some files gave problems. So, my 6000 pictures have been separated into 6 albums (1000 each). Then, I run the converting tool on each one. All worked, excepted one. This one, I share into 500 pictures each. I run the tool on each one. One was OK, the other one fail. The one which fails has been separated in 250 pictures each... And so on. Until you see which pictures cause problems... In my case, it was some modified pictures (2 of them).
    Then, I eliminate this 2 pictures from my initial 6000 catalog, I do the import again, and... SUCCESS !!
    Hope it might help someone else.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer and Bridge

    Our small company has several Windows versions of Photoshop Elements 3.0 of which is primarily used for the Organizer to organize a collection of client images (all nicely tagged), however, the tags are incompatible with our Mac version of Photoshop CS3's Bridge (as such, the Mac is lagging behind the Windows-based organisation of Organizer, which is being prodiminantly populated by Organizer users).
    We hoped the new Mac Photoshop Elements 8 would finally get around to shipping with the Organizer, but as it still doesn't, we wondered if it is was possible to install Bridge on the Windows machines in place of the Organizer? and could we import all our current Organizer settings?
    Apaprently Bridge will work on a machine so long as other Adobe software is installed, which is fine for our Elements machines, but where can we download it?
    Some help on this would be much appreciated.

    I'm not sure you really understand the difference between Bridge and Organizer, which may or may not matter one way or the other. Bridge is a browser, not an asset management program, so it doesn't have a catalog. It just shows the files in the folder to which you point it. There are no version sets or albums in bridge, although you can make collections. The only way to get  your current collections out of organizer would be to make tags for them and write them to the files, then reassemble the collections in bridge by keyword searching.
    The upside to a program like bridge is that it doesn't care where or how you move your files around. You can do whatever you want when bridge isn't running and it won't complain that it can't find things anymore.

  • Is Photoshop Elements organizer 9 compatible with the most current version?

    I have a large photo collection organized with Photoshop Elements 9 organizer.  I am hoping that i can import the album data file (tags, names, folders, etc.) into the newest Photoshop Elements organizer, version 13.
    Thoughts or suggestions?
    I would hate to have to re-label thousands of pictures.

    Thank you!
    I plan to purchase a new computer shortly and move all image files along with the Adobe album information/data file to the same directory on the new machine.  I was hoping that when i was installing the new software, the old data file would be recognized and it would be upgraded/imported into the new PSE13 album.
    I have over 6,000 carefully tagged photographs, and i don't want to re-tag photos.

  • Need some help with Photoshop Elements Organizer

    I have had this program for awhile now, but have not had a lot of time to spend with it....also on a new Mac.
    I am trying to work with the Organizer.  First time I tried to import photos from IPhoto, it said there was no media to import....(I have a lot of pictures here).  I did some reading of the forums and determined that it might be a bug so I downloaded the update 9.0.3.   Now I am getting an error tht says Photoshop Elements Organizer is attempting to import photos from a default folder.  If I check OK, it begins to import all of my photos.
    Any help on this problem would be most appreciated.
    Thanks
    Frustrated

    The import is working fine. This is a warning message telling you that it is going to import photos and videos from the default folder of your system. Just to inform you about the action it is about to take.
    In case you find it not working, you can log a bug to Adobe at:

  • I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac.  I want to divide some of those clips in Organizer.  I can do that in Premiere Elements 12 and save them as "Projects" - but how do I get the divided clips back into Organizer?

    I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac.  I want to divide some of those single clips into 2 or 3 separate clips, each shown separately in Organizer.  I can divide the clips in Premiere Elements Editor 12 and save them as "Projects" - but I can't find any way to get those divided clips back into Organizer.  Does anyone know whether that can be done?  Many thanks for your thoughts.

    What about Google Drive? And just share the folder with the family members.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 13 crash!!!

    Hey everybode,
    since yesterday I have a problem with my Photoshop Elements Organizer 13. It appears for a few seconds and after that it disapears as soon as it published. No report and no apparent reason. After a millions of install and uninstall still tthe same problem. Even the troubleshooting of Adobe brings no solution. What can I do now??? Any ideas???
    I need help please!!!

    zna22121,
    Close computer down, and restart. If it does not work, it should, then re-install. But, do not attempt more than 200 at a time it just cannot handle it ?
    Good luck
    Ps. I just dislike Organiser, (it is too slow, and disorganised) you can go from PE 13 Editor ( My wife tried it and went back to PE 6 ) and Process Multiple Files only 200 at a time. in Photoshop Elements, Organizer may handle it ?
    We often do video production stills of 2,000 from PE 6 and we know it works ,when you use the images in Adobe CS5.5.2 Premiere Pro..for HD & Blue -ray transfers.. It is very easy ?

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer  10

    Good day,
    I need some help to start my project right.
    In the last 10 years, I have accumulated about 3000 family photos by scanning old printed and accumulating new digital photos.
    The problem is that they are spread into 2 desktops and 2 laptops, and I also have pictures still into 3 digitals cameras.
    Now before I organize those photos with Photoshop Element Organizer, I am in search of the best way to merge all those pictures into my new laptop which has C and D drive.
    I was planning to put my programs on C: and my data on D: to latter ease my backup task.
    I want to build the right structure right now and not to regret anything done wrong latter.
    I also want to play safe as I am afraid of loosing any of those precious souvenirs; Some are form the early 1900.
    1) Should I proceed with a transfer using a USB key drive for my scanned photos and for those received by email? They are already in the form of yyyy-mm-dd
    2) Should I use the software from my first CANON 3 MEG camera, and the software of my 2nd CANON 5 MEG, and then the 3rd software of my SAMSUNG 12 MEG to transfer the photo to my new folder?
    3) Should I put them all in the same folder?
    4) Am I right that any duplication will be found by the ORGANIZER and this will be solved easily?
    5) My guess is that they will all end up being in date order like yyyy-mm-dd. Would that be the best way?
    6) Would you have any more recommendations to help me doing the best thing?
    In the videos on line, they don’t talk much about that special case of organizing a big data bank into one single new computer
    All your help would be much appreciated
    Thank’s
    Gilles

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetic sort

    I have been wanting to sort selections in Photoshop Elements Organizer alphabetically by file name.  Does the recently released Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer have that feature or does it still only sort by date?

    PSE12 can sort alphabetically in all modes : thumbnail view, My Pictures, Pictures or albums.
    In albums, when you open an album it automatically opens in album order sort, except if you have the timeline displayed.
    When you add pictures to an album, the added batch is appended to the existing pictures in the order they are shown when you move them.
    If you want to create a custom order mainly based on an existing sort (date, import batch, name, old custom order), simply create a new empty album and with the correct starting order, move all the items in your album to the new one. You can then move your pictures around in album (custom) order with less work.
