Photoshop Elements :: Collapsing All Photos In Expanded Version Sets Throughout A Large Organizer?
Dec 19, 2013
I found that all of the Version Sets in my Catalog of 50,000 photos became expanded when I restored my Catalog onto a new computer (with an empty catalog). Is there a global command in the PSE9 system to collapse all of the Version Sets throughout the Catalog, not just a particular set of selected photos?
Every Time I select IMPORT on LR5 I have to "browse" and click several of the little triangles and navigate to the folder I want to import from. It seems to me in LR4 whenever I imported the File tree was left the way it was when it was shut down. I am not sure if I am expressing myself like I should it just gets frustrating becuase I am doing a Lot of importing from a Cloud source (dropbox camera uploads folder) and each time I have to browse from C Drive >USERS>USER NAME>DROPBOX>Camera uploads that is like 5 clicks every time I do it which is several times a day latley.
I had a problem with some folders in my original catalog in PSE 11 so I created a new catalog that seems to be fine. However, I have quite a few edited raw files that I had saved in the version set with the original raw file using the old catalog. In the new catalog, the edited jpgs are not in with the original raw version. Is there something I could do to fix this? Also, I have not deleted the original catalog that I used.
Do other people have an issue in Photoshop Elements 12 with it not consistently saving photos in version sets? someties it works correctly and somethimes it doesn't and it also bumps me out stating it is a new photo. i do have it configured to always save in version sets and to not notify me with new photos?
One thing I don't like when you do a search and some results are included in stacks of version sets, it that you are shown the best matches with the non matches indicated by a special icon. Then you can't have the option to 'select only best matches'.
An example : Suppose you usually shoot raw and keep only the best edited jpeg in a version set together with the original raw. You want to delete the original raws when there is an edited jpeg in the version set. You can perfectly use the search by details for files in a version set and filename with the raw suffix.
How can you select only the 'best matches' in the result of the search ? Unless there is a way to do that easily, I would like to introduce a feature request to add 'show only best matches in stacks/version sets' in the option menu of the result of the search.
You could : - select all the results and expand all stacks and version sets - assign a temporary keyword like 'IsInVersionSet' to all - do a new search by detail for 'IsInVersionSet' and filename ends with raw suffix - Select all and delete - remove the temporary keyword.
That would work for version sets with only one original and one edited jpeg, not for multiple files in a stack or version sets, the info about stacks or sets would be lost.The only method I have found to do the selection and deletion with keeping stacks and version sets is:
- create a catalog copy (copy of the whole catalog folder) - in the new catalog, use the above procedure to delete the raws - in the old catalog, find missing files and delete them from catalog.
My photos are OK in the Organizer, but the portrait photos are cut off at the top or bottom when used in a slide show. I have checked the "Crop to Fit" portrait selection but it makes no difference. I have Version 9 of Elements.
I am attempting to convert an Elements Organizer version 11 catalog to version 12 running on OS-X Lion. It has been running for two days stuck at 37% and appears to be cycling through files with the name breeze-xxx.XML files in the BreezeData folder. It appears to be running since the breeze file names change about every 30-60 seconds. Is this normal or should I cancel and try a different approach? I checked the BreezeData folder and there are approximately 57K breeze-xxx.XML files and my catalog has approximately 56K images.
I have the mac version of photoshop elements 10 which does not support exporting of photographs in the organizer.I use to be a Windows user of the program and like this feature. It is a major flaw in the mac version. Corrected flaw in version 11?
I am new to PSE and have version 10. My photos are organized by year and within a year by dates and events. I cannot seem to bring those pictures into the Organizer.
I have succeeded in bringing a single photo into Organizer but would really like to bring in entire folders at a time.
I am self-publishing a book and need to change the dpi of all the photos from 72 to 300. I know how to do one photo, but the pdf is 218 pages. Is there a way to do all the photos at once (select all) or do I need to change them one at a time? If I have to change them one at a time, how do I save them so the file will stay intact?
I have installed Elements 12 and successfully indexed my media files and performed facial recognition, however now in the organiser, not all files are displaying. Some are and others come up with an image like a broken link (See image). All the photos are fine (not corrupted) and can be viewed by other media viewers.
First, all of the photos in my albums and folders disappeared from Organizer leaving empty album and folder categories. The next day, the album and folder titles disappeared, leaving one big blank space. how I can retrieve all of my photos and why this would have occurred in the first place?
I have Elements 10 Core Version 10.0 Language Version 10.0 fully updated (or so Elements reports on asking to check updates) running in Windows 7 64 bit.
I have over 20,000 photos on C drive in jpeg or fine jpeg format mainly shot with a Nikon D70 over several years. I took photos last Friday/Saturday with a new Nikon D7000 (jpeg) and uploaded to Elements 10 (C drive) via SD card reader. They uploaded OK, were saved to Elements Organiser and I deleted some, edited others and emailed several. Today these photos are missing and possibly other shots taken after 10th Feb 2013 too some of which might have been taken with the D70.
Both Elements Reconnet and Find Photos and Videos fail to find any photos not already in the Organiser. I tried Recuva to search the PC's hard drives for deleted photos. It didn't find any as such - only eBay etc jpegs.
I have 120kb copies of the emailed photos attached to the emails in the Outlook Sent box. I noted the reference number of a photo and searched Windows 7 for it. Windows doesn't find it.
Before I looked at Elements today Windows was installing update KB2656351 concerning NET framework 4 and we had a power cut part way through. I have no idea if this is relevant but I menton it in case it is.
There are no photos in the Organiser after 10th Feb 2013 and there should be several hundred. I can take the loss as they probably weren't vital photos but I am very keen to know where they went to do my level best to ensure it doesn't happen again with more valuable photos.
I have phoned Abobe but they only support Elements 11 now, they said. I have searched without success both their FAQ's and the FAQ's on this forum.
my computer was running very slowly so I ran some diagnostic and "fixit" programs on it. After that, I am no longer able to see the photos that were in the albums I created - if I try to reimport them, it says they are already in the catalogue. All I see are white boxes!! I cannot see them in the photo bin of the editor either. I checked and all my photos are in their original folders where I off-loaded them from my camera. Obviously my fixit program broke the links. how I can get the photos back, or even just delete the albums and catalogue so that I can start again?
the really weird thing is that I can do a slideshow of the supposedly missing photos -- but they still don't show up as thumbnails in the albums!
Is there any other way to compare photos in the pse 11 organizer U.S. version other than going to full screen and using the task bar on the film strips? There is no Display function in the upper right hand corner of the organizer so I cannot using the other method of prerssing f12.
I have just started using Photoshop Elements and have uploaded all my photos from my computer's hard-drive, and am displaying them using the 'Folders' view in Organizer. Unfortunately, all the photos are being displayed twice - once within 'Pictures' and once within 'Macintosh HD'>' Users'>' Amy'>'Pictures'. I would like the photos to appear only once so that I know which set I am working from.
I've just deleted hundreds of photos off my desktop from My Pictures, which took about 2 hours, presuming that that process would also delete the photos from the Hard Drive, and thus also at the same time from Photoshop Elements 12( on both Organizer and Editor). Yet all of those photos I’ve just deleted from My Pictures (and again, presumably from the Hard Drive), are still showing up in Elements 12! Why do these photos still show up in Organizer if I’ve deleted them from My Pictures (again, presumably also from the Hard Drive)??
Have followed all instructions for emailing photos from organizer in photoshop elements 11 but unable to send out as photomail or as an email attachment.
I have of a sudden lost the ability to drag photos in the organizer. Instead of getting the usual miniature of the thumbnail I get a stop symbol (circle with line through it). Just to be clear, all I want to do is place a photo which sometimes randomly gets misplaced into its correct site, e.g 1550 suddenly found next to 1405.) My hunch is that I "did something" that switched or blocked the function.
I have used PSE 9 and there was a line at bottom that told the total number of photos in the Organizer. I now have PSE 11 and I can find no such line, and I have not found a way to tell the total number of photos in my Organizer. Where is this information hidden?
I downloaded some photos to a file under my Photos. When I go to get photos from the file, they aren't there (in windows explorer). What is locking these out?I've tried other downloads, they work fine. Running version 10. I uninstalled & re-installed with no luck.
This should be an easy task and I am familiar with editing a photo taken from the organizer and then returning it to an album or folder. My problem is with a photo sent to me as an attachment to an email in another program (often Picasa). This photo can be opened in Elements Editor and worked with in the usual fashion but I am stumped on how to then move it in my Organizer and appropriate folder or album.
The PE6 won't even boot up on my computer. Mostly I use it for the phot organizer. Now I cannot access the organizer to find my photos. I do not see that organizer with the CS5.5 program. Is there another way to access those photos. Or can I reinstall the PE6?
