Why did I get an emails stating that i uploaded 50 photos and have used my quota for the month when I have not uploaded ANY photos. I just installed PSE 12.

Question

I just installed PSE12 and I think it automatically synced photos to REVEL?
I don't want all my photos on REVEL. How do i control this.
It also states that I reached my 50 max for the month. I didn't upload any photos!
i this a push for paid subscription?
There is no upload button under share?
so how is this controlled. I looked at my revel and I have some older pic up there from about 8 months ago.
All my nikon pics are in raw, when will you support this?
If I have to convert them all into jpgs, this is a tedious task and I may as well use Flikr?
Thanks,
Chet

Hi Chet-
This is a user to user forum that  adobe employees also monitor and reply on.
Our records  show that you have indeed hit your limit of 50 uploads. The uploads began around 5/2 from Elements on Windows to Chester's library, which was then deleted on 5/5. Each upload counts, even if you delete and re-upload.
When you first install elements, it asks if you want to make all your albums mobile or just select ones. If you say all, then all will be uploaded to revel (if you have enough uploads available). If you select certain ones, then only those will sync with revel. It sounds like you seleted either some or all and your elements organizer is trying to sync with revel as requested. The idea behind mobile albums is that they stay in sync whether you upload from elements or revel.
If you do not want to have all albums as mobile albums in the Elements Organizer,
you can open up Preferences, switch to the Adobe Revel Preferences section and if the box is checked saying
"Automatically access all my catalog media in Adobe Revel", uncheck that checkbox and click OK.
You do not have to have a premium subscription as long as you only want to upload 50 files or less to revel. A subscription will get you unlimited uploads.
Regarding raw files:
1) If you select a raw file to upload to revel from elements, it will first create a jpg and then upload it to revel 12.1. You will only see a jpg file in revel when you look from your other devices.
2 )If you then edit the raw file from elements, it will replace the old jpg in revel with the edited one.
3)If you edit the jpg file in revel (that was made from the elements raw file and uploaded to revel in 1 above), then it will show there and will also show up in the version set in elements.
4) If you import a raw file directly into revel (say from adoberevel.com rather than elements) you will not see it show up in elements. There is not a feature to sync a raw files or their associated jpg file with elements.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
