Photoshop CS5 for editing, 11 items to organize: how to improve the awkward workflow?

Photoshop CS5 & elements-11

I have been using a marriage of these programs over a period of time with limited success. I'm using Cs5 for editing and organizer elements - 11 for filing catalog.   I recently updated my computer and my success came to an end. Previously, I had used 8 items but had to move to the item 11 because my Nikon D800E required a new updated plugin Raw.  In both cases the Cs5 a raw file in a together produced version comprised of two raw files. (Neff & Neff-1) which is well positioned in the Ellements catalog. However, the change of the Psd file showed shortly after the facts in the form of file found in the elements. I then created a stack. I always get the Raw very good version, but now I can't get the PSD file edited outside editor Cs5 and in the catalog of items.

My workflow starts by downloading files from the camera via the card from the camera in the elements Organizer. The folder is then taken up in Cs5 to edit raw file, and then in the cs5 Editor by Open the file. After the change of the PSD file, it is saved via the file menu dropdown. However, it will not appear in the catalog of items.  If I change in the element Editor, it works very well.

I normally after editing and tagging then move the files to an external drive. Unfortunately, it becomes even more problematic for updating the images here.

I believe that there is a better way to make this marriage.

I'd appreciate your comments.

Bob you do not use the items to edit you it fair organizer.  It's hard to understand why you would do that. LR library is one of better organizing and bridge is also a good organizer.  It is difficult to understand why you want the expense and maintenance of the elements just to get it organized.   Using Adobe DNG converter, you should be able to handle the new data camera RAW with ACR CS5 version. Bridge and LR are coded with the support of photoshop Photoshop in their design.
