Photoshop Elements :: Can PSE12 Ignore Photo Folder
Sep 29, 2013
I have a folder on my main HD which contains pictures that I use all the time but also regularly delete when done with them.
When using PS elements 10 I could never stop the program from importing the contents of this folder so that when I deleted them they kept showiing as 'missing files' in the catalog Have upgraded to 12 in the hope that I cam somehow tell the program to ignore this folder.
Trying to drag an edited picture from photobin in Elements 12 onto a blank documents. Elements is resizing my photo to fit the blank document. I don't want it to resize. I want to drag and drop multiple photos onto a new blank doument as I have in other versions.
I have been using Photoshop for basic editing for several years, now. For at least the last three years (whether I have used Photoshop CS5 or now, CS6), if I automate a batch of photos, going through the process of selecting the source folder, then the destination folder for the edited pictures, my choice of destination folder is ignored — the edited pictures end up in the source folder.
There is "Ignore camera generated folder names when naming folders" on preferences tab, but I couldn't find a usage for this option. With a camera card including different folders, I can not see the folder names in my card on the import panel.
cannot crop and rename a photo and save it to a folder. Instead of the photo I get a blank icon that looks like a page with one corner folded down. The new name is below the blank icon. If I try to save it again I get a message that the name exists do I want to replace it? if I do, I get a second icon with no photo image.
I cannot find my photo effects folder in PS Elements 10. All of my actions are missing. I have looked in spotlight, other folders and cannot find my folder.
PSE 10 - Selected pictures will not show up in folder view, but others do. All show up in thumbnail view. In thumnail view under properties it shows the photos as being in the folder, however they don't appear. Double checked hd- they are there. Tried reconnect- says there are none missing.
I am a Mac user and have been disappointed at some of the limitations of elements 11 on my Mac versus what I understand you can do on a pc. Have these issues been corrected for Mac users in elements 12?
I am running Windows 7 and cannot open newly purchased Elements 12. I have tried most of the .exe file fixes so I am not sure if that is the issue or not.
I have downloaded the software to my Mac desktop and I was then trying to transfer it to my Mac Pro Laptop as I successfully did with PSE 11 a year ago with no problems. However, with PSE12 when I transfer it with Air Drop they both go into my DL folder but when I click to open it says my file is not there.
In Version 8 I could work on multiple images in separate windows. It appears that I cannot do this in Version 12. Is there a way around this in 12 or do I have to just go back to using version 8 for the work I am doing?
I used to be able to control the sliders on my earlier Adobe Elements with my middle wheel on my mouse but on installing 12 version this does not seem to work any more, which is a great pity as it was so precise.
I am changing from PSE8 to PSE12 and realized upon trying 12 today that PSE12 automatically saves my edited pictures in PSD format where PSE8 saved them in JPEG. I don't use the organizer for catalogs, instead opening up folders where I've saved my pictures (e.g. Christmas 2013)and editing the photos I like in PSE8 and then saving them back in that same folder. It may not be the 'right' way, but it works for me. The picture I tried using PSE12 on, saved in the PSD format which isn't viewable in those folders (windows picture viewer is the default). I truly only use PSE for improving pics I like and want to share/email, use as my desktip background, post to Facebook, and print for myself or gifts via uploading to a photo printing service (Mpix, Walmart, etc.) Is there a way to have PSE12 default to saving as JPEG or should I be saving everything as PSD? I get that PSD only works with PS and takes more space, but doesn't cause loss of quality of the pictures the way JPEG does ~ I'm just not sure it's important for the way I use PSE. \
I've now finally got PSE12 installed. However the 'Add People' functionality is not working.
In the 'People' tab, when I click the 'Add People' button I get the 'preparing files' dialogue box. I then get a message saying "You have labelled everyone in your selection" (whether I've made a selection or not in 'Media'). I can 'add people' in an individual photo but not by clicking 'add people' either in Media or People view. This worked fine for me in PSE11.
I'm using Windows 7 and don't have any other PSE versions installed.
I just purchased PSE 12. In Lightroom 5, I can set up an Edit in Photoshop Elements preset.
When I try to edit a .dng or .cr2 raw image in PSE from Lr5, the first dialog I get asks if I want to edit a copy with Lr adjustments. Then PSE opens but no file(s) are loaded.
If I open the file directly from PSE 12, it will open (with Lr5 adjustments)... but that's not the point.
getting the Lightroom 5 --> PSE 12 workflow to operate properly?
From the website, it states that PSE12 would be compatible with camera raw plug in through version 8.3, which my camera requires. The error I get when trying to open in PSE 12 states that the file I am trying to open appears to be from a camera that is not supported by the installed version of camera raw. How can I open my raw images in this program? If I cannot and will not be able to, how can I get reimbursed?
How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12? Do I restore from a backup? I have over 12,000 pics ( a good portion with multiple versions) and don't want to lose captions and metadata.
