• All my pictures have disappeared from the PSE Organizer 13 (after I've updated).

  All my pictures have disappeared from the PSE Organizer 13 (after I've updated).  The files are all on the hard drive.  When I try and import them, said organizer that they are already in there and I cannot proceed.  When I select a keyword, get the message "NO MEDIA to DISPLAY.  I may be dense, but I find the search function of the Forum to be nearly useless, unless I just happen to enter the Exact name of a subject.

  Hello

  Operating system that you are running on?

  What version you put in?

  In the Organizer, what view do you - use in the display menu is details checked, or unchecked - t - it make a difference?

  On the view menu, select media types - are all verified?

  Menu, select hidden - files is in view - show all files audited?

  I assume you're in the media view, what happens if you select the places people or events?

• update the content of the PSE Organizer 13

  Is there a quick batch processing to update the content of the organizer for all the images that have been renamed, deleted, or moved to different folders?

  Well, if such a quick batch process existed, you would not find that the golden rule of the Organizer if repeated frequently.

  In fact it is not specific to the Organizer, it is a necessity for the management of digital assets of catalogues; The same goes for Lightroom.

  What is fast is to reconnect a batch of images that come to be moved and even renamed.

  It's quick to remove from the catalog image files that have been deleted outside the Organizer entries.

  See:

  Photoshop elements (PSE) knowledge base.

  The Automatic Reconnection feature can succeed, but it is far from quick.

  If you have a lot of files renamed, deleted or moved, you can consider from scratch with a new catalog.

• Dysfunction of the PSE Organizer 5.0

  Today, unexpectedly, PES would lauch at all. Finally, I was able to get the Publisher to launch, but not the Organizer. I can now get the Organizer to launch through the editor, but only if I hold down the CTRL key and create a new catalog. I can add images to the new catalog and you open very well, but when I try to open my catalog (the one I really need) he hangs up and just sits there spinning its wheels! What the devil I'm missing or doing wrong. I spent hours on this and while I've made some progress, have already hit an entire wall. Please help arrrgggg...!

  Well, helpful people at Adobe have removed the article from their site

  http://KB.Adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400848&sliceId=1

  Maybe you should call them and complain. But you get nowhere

  However, the search of the forums, I found this mention of it:

  http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/400/kb400848.html

  I believe that the answer (and this is from memory so maybe wrong)

  Panel->-> Services, administrative tools, then find the Active (or Adobe Active File Manager) file manager and turn off the power.

• Contents of a backup of the PSE 8 catalog

  I am running PSE 8 on a Dell Studio XPS 9000 with 64-bit Windows 7.

  When I converted several catalogs of PSE 6 on another computer to PSE 8 on my new computer, I had different results.  It did not become apparent until I made new backups for them.

  In one case, the backup consisted of 2402 photo files, 2402 of the XML files and a file of type BUC, TLY, PREF and DAT.

  Otherwise, the backup consisted of 248 photo files, not as the BUC, TLY and PREF files and XML files.  He was missing the XML files and the DAT file.

  Which is correct and why I'd get different results?  As far as I know, I used the same method for two catalogs.

  I have converted by restoring backups of PSE 6 I had on my hard drive.

  XML files store information about the results of face recognition and autoanalyzer.  It is therefore likely that you did not run these features on one of the catalogs.  You can check by looking at in each catalog file (help > System Info) and looking for the presence of BreezeData or CAXMPFiles, subfolders that contain the XML of your catalog files.

• Organizer of the PSE 14 create pictures twice on HARD drive

  In fact, what happens when I import photos from an image folder on my hard drive in 14 PSE Organizer?  Is it creates copies of these files?  Where on my drive hard Organizer stores its imports?

  Lightroom Noob says:

  Thanks again Michel for all the good info.  This may sound as if I prefer pressing the folder structure for a catalog, but it's just that until recently I had little choice. I'm new to Photoshop Elements, having received PSE14 this past Christmas and up to install about 2 months, I had to rely on the structures of folders to organize the photos on my hard drive!   Now, I'm just trying to understand how better to implement the PSE Organizer.

  This is a common situation and generally elements users begin using the Organizer only when they really feel the need for a more powerful organization. I have friends who are perfectly happy with their own folder organization. They are also much better than I remember when a given event took place or they have their own hierarchies of folders for other subjects.

  So what about my example question (posted yesterday), I think that tell me in fact to pass the sentence rather misplaced files in my files, I just catalogue them properly organizing using the PES - am I not right?

  It's true in general, but there may be good reasons to separate your files in different folders or different disks and volumes. If you have your photos on multiple disks, you can keep a single catalog and manage everything. It's perhaps a good solution to get more disk space.

  With the Organizer, you also have the choice to separate your photos in different catalogues. It is a choice with the following main rules:

  -different catalogs are ok (and recommended) for totally different activities (personal professional vs...)

  -different catalogs are NOT the solution to work faster. Size of the catalogue is negligible for speed.

  -You can easily merge or split catalogs.

  I should also mention that if you have reasons to prefer a folder with a navigation software organization, you can use Adobe Bridge:

  Re: Where is bridge in items 10?

  Re: elements does support bridge?

  I'm partial to the Organizer, but the bridge can be what you want.

• Deleting files in PSE-Organizer

  Hello

  I have 2 questions about the treatment of the image files in the PSE Organizer.

  When I want to reduce a large number of photos of holiday that is after (800 and more), I use the Organizer to get a quick overview of the shots that are immediately deleted.

  Unfortunately, every single deletion process must be confirmed when the intention is to remove the pictures of the catalogue and the hard drive. You must activate a check box every time! I would like to know if it is possible to remove the action of this message and a checkbox.

  The second problem I have is that sometimes (not everytime!) when I remove some photos in the Organizer, this action will move the view for the first picture again once there scroll down again after the last selected pictures. For example, I have 700 photos, attach photos, 511, 512 and 516 I then delete the Organizer could do but go back to photo 1. So I have to scroll to image 517 to resume my good and bad material selections. This can be very soul-murder with 700 photos and maybe 200 to remove ;-)

  Someone knows how to help me with these 2 problems.

  Thanks in advance for your support.

  Greetings from the Germany,

  Marco

  It is not possible to set a default value for the checkbox (bad design by Adobe).  However, here is a workaround:

  Change to delete files as hidden using Mark > visibility > Mark as hidden (ALT + F2).  When you're one, examine all the hidden files by doing View > show hidden files only. Then edition > all select and delete all at once.

  If you already use cookies for other purposes, you can use a legend instead, although it is not fast enough to drag a tag for the photo by typing ALT + F2 (but always faster than that to wait for the dialog box remove interminably slow).

• How can I move the default location of my PSE catalog?

  Can I move the default location of my catalog (currently: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs) to another drive?  It turns out that I don't have the space on the C drive to perform a migration.  I have been using PSE for some time on my Windows system (Vista) and running version 9.  I recently installed version 10 and failed to install during the migration of catalog.  I went back to 9, repaired the catalog, provided to all media was found and repeat the attempt to load to 10.

  The system configuration:

  Drive (SSD) C - 7 GB free, default program location, the catalog size 18 GB

  D drive - media location, total size 36 GB

  Drive E - desired location to the catalog

  Any other suggestions?  I'm stuck here.

  Open the catalog and use the help... System Info to see the exact location of the catalog directory.  Use Windows Explorer to copy the entire catalog directory and all of its subfolders to your desired location.  Open PSE and use the file... Catalog to open the Catalog Manager and select "Custom location" and then navigate to the new location.

  I'd do it in PSE9, and once you are unsure that the new location works perfectly, you can use Windows Explorer to remove the former location of the catalog.

  Then you can try PSE10.

• Where PSE Organizer 12 does not store the files in the catalog?

  Where is the default location for the catalog of PES 12 files Organizer?  What are the names of the files that make up the catalog information?

  Bill Junk says:

  Where is the default location for the catalog of PES 12 files Organizer?  What are the names of the files that make up the catalog information?

  In all versions of items, you will find the location of the current catalog with the Help menu file > system information.

  You may need to allow the properties of Windows Explorer to "Show hidden files", given that the catalogues of the default location is hidden by default.

  Each catalog is a folder that contains subfolders and different files.

  The most important of them is the, an sqlite database that we, called catalog.pse12db for PSE12.

  Another important element is the thumb.5.cache which stores the thumbnails.

  Catalogs differ with each version of elements.

• Catalogue of PSE 8 in custom location, is not on the list of catalog

  I'm trying to help a client to recover from a computer problem. She was to have several types of problems with his PC a couple of months. PSE 8 seemed to work okay at the time, and my memory tells me I Reconnected all the missing files (if there are any), repaired and optimized, as is my habit. I then did a full backup on an external drive. She had then his son fix his computer somehow form. He lives out of State. I got a call, and she said that she was ready for me to get his PSE 8 operational return.

  When I arrived, we discovered that she had not the PSE 8 CD. She bought it online from Adobe, but never copied to CD, etc. We decided she would buy 10 PSE and download it. I don't had never downloaded it not through the Adobe Store and was totally shocked to find it was a download of three hours. Other files too large, I downloaded Adobe would have taken 20-30 min. While it was downloading I even went hoe and started the download on my internet connection. He would have had an equal amount of time. Sorry, I've lost.

  After 10 of PSE, we installed, I made a restore of the backup of PSE 8 I did a couple of months. I did several times over the years with very good results. We had a message saying that the catalog has been restored successfully. But when I went to convert to PES 10, a mistake seems to say the conversion failed and we must try to restore on PSE 8 try abother Backup.

  This is the bottom. I still have the PSE 8 on a PC at home. I restored the catalog to a location of custonm (a second internal drive). Pictures of 5300 or visible, tags seem to be in order etc.

  But before you try a Back-up, I wanted to for the repair and Opimize the catalogue (named my catalog). But in the catalog is visible, the area where I expected to see [current] is empty, and repair etc buttons are grayed out. I'm puzzled. The only thing I can think to do is to return another backup and try to restore that one of its PES 10, after I dry run at home.

  I'f attached a screen display of the dialog in quesation. I now see where it is small enough, you should be able to see the areas of the screen, to which I am referring.

  I'm puzzled. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

  TIA

  Thanks for the screenshot. The main reason I wanted to see it was to check that your catalog for this version. Which it is. It is difficult to tell from the screenshot, but it seems that the catalog file is set to "hidden". The icon looks like semi-transparent. While you can activate the settings in Windows Explorer to view the files 'hidden', he would still have to be hidden from applications. That would not prevent it being used.

  Then try this:

  1. right click on "catalog.pse8db", and then choose Properties.

  2. check if the 'Hidden' option is checked. If this is the case, clear the check box and click OK.

  3. retry verification file > catalog in Photoshop Elements.

• PS 13, location of the catalog of items

  I formerly used PS Elements 10, 12, now 13 and migrated my catalogues of 10--> 12-13.

  1. I NEVER copied photos of 'source' from one place to another
  2. Now I find my (sorry pictures) catalogued photos physically (i.e. no links - don't come from the UNIX world )
     1. In the original source directory
     2. In the destination directory configured catalog

  As mentioned I never copied the source images of the source after another location directory.

  I don't like it as a minimalist . But it must have appeared that I created a new catalog and photos from source to the destination catalog directory.

  It is now that he is -are there any introduction explaining the behavior of PS on the photo locations and locations of catalog and how to prevent this dubbing.

  Seems that the root of the problem is your own personal design of a catalog.

  1. I NEVER copied photos of 'source' from one place to another

  What are the images of the 'source '? Your image files are on your computer, where you downloaded or created.

  They are not in a 'catalog '. A catalogue of the Organizer (or a Lightroom one) is that it: a list of files (a database to be precise) that stores the location of the files (the path, the identification of the car) so that their properties and the tag, ratings or ratings affect you. When you receive the catalogue of a Museum of painting, you get a book to search according to different criteria: the room in which are shown the paintings, painters, the painting category, date, size and much more. There are several kinds of clues to find according to these criteria. There are small "thumbnails" to show the paintings. A catalogue of the Organizer is just that. Why wait to copy the files somewhere? You simply files image, not the "source files".

  1. Now I find my (sorry pictures) catalogued photos physically (i.e. no links - don't come from the UNIX world)
     1. In the original source directory
     2. In the destination directory configured catalog

  What do you mean by the "set destination directory" of the catalog?

  Catalogs are the folders containing the principal database (catalog.pse13db) and other components, including the thumbnail cache. Looking for the location of the catalog file in the Help menu > system information. You will see that there is no photo stored file, no "copies" or duplication.

  "Importer" is an ambiguous word in the Organizer.

  It refers to a process involving the downloader: download files (copy) of your card reader or camera, plus the indexing of these files in the database data. In this case, the copy is intended.

  Or it simply means indexing if you use the 'import' of files and folders. No copying is involved.

• Question of location/duplicate the catalog files

  I need assistance with my location of the catalog.  I restored from backup after resetting my computer.  Now, I have original photos on a D drive and I have a copy (maybe not a complete copy) on the C drive.

  I already had my catalog and my original photos on D (I think).

  Now when I add new photos, where should I put them?  I would like to put it on D, but all other pictures in the catalogue are on C.

  I would like to have everything on D and do not have a copy of everything.

  I don't want to lose one of the photos on D that are not in the catalog for a reason any.

  Thank you for your help.  I feel that we are making progress.  What should I do next?

  First, use the catalog to D: now to import new files. Make sure you set your preferences to import files from the card or the scans to the D: drive.

  Then you can compare what is on C: and D: catalog to make sure that they are the same. You can use the Explorer / Finder to remove duplicates for free space on C:.

  I guess that you always backup folder that you have used before: keep to make sure you have extra security before you do the cleaning on C:.

  You can delete unwanted catalogs since the Organizer catalog manager.

• PSE Organizer 12 crashes constantly after the film project in first 12

  I have PSE 12 time Organizer and first. I finished a film project after all first programme of work up to a slide show in the Organizer, but when I tried to burn my dvd does not recognize my burner (which is HL-DT-ST GH24NS50 SC if of LG) so I burned in a folder. Then I tried to burn with Windows DVD maker and burner of Wondershare video which none recognized the files containing the titles of movies & scene intro-s. A 2nd problem has also developed during the process of completion of the project. Now my PSE Organizer crashes as soon as it loads the media, so I am now virtually locked out of my photos. The only new files added to the organizer since I started this project are those who come first i.e. stories etc. Can anyone suggest a way to fix these problems. Thank you

  Thank you for your response. I downloaded Image burn but have not yet had the opportunity to try it. I'll try it out tomorrow so to try to get the first to recognize my drive that is faster and up to date.

  My computer is a computer of Windows 7 64 bit with 8 GB of RAM and loads of free disk space. I suspect my programs are still the original 12 version, but I tried to invoke any update in the past. It seems that they must not have worked.

  On the problem of the Organizer, I deleted the psa.prf file you suggested but who could not make all the difference: the program quits immediately after its launch. It is still not open long enough for me to create a new catalog.

  You have any other suggestions? And thanks again for your help so far.

• Help! How to open the PSE 7 without opening catalog

  Tried to migrate from PSE 7 to 9 of PSE. After conversion the catalogue that the browser seems to open normally, but breaks down in seconds. Called the helpline to Adobe, they come to the conclusion that the catalog is corrupt, but the catalog worked normally in PSE 7. Since the catalog has been transformed, it cannot open more in PSE 7. I was happy to have made a return to the top, but if I want to restore back to the top, PSE 7 automatically opens the catalog - convert / corrupted - old and... crashes. Anyone within Adobe thought to the possibility of opening the software without automatically, open the catalog. Seems particularly useful in such circumstances.

  I tried to open and at the same time helding ALT + SHIFT + CTRL keys but that does not work.

  First of all I d to migrate with my old catalog of PES 9, but at least I would still be able to open my old catalog (backup version) in PSE 7.

  Thanks in advance

  OS: Windows Vista

  OK, you renamed the catalog of BU, which makes no difference.  Have you looked at the folder, in which the converted catalog would be created?  It is in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. What records are listed here (catalog My, My Catalog1 and such)?   Or something strange?  Perhaps you could rename/delete one or all the people and try to restart the conversion.
