Photoshop Elements :: Fileserver Usage - Share Same Database File
Nov 30, 2012
Is it possible to have two machines, both running Photoshop Elements 11, share the same database file?The scenario I'm imagining is one where the images will be stored on a $fileserver and thereby accessible by either of my image-editing machines:
1. Dell Desktop PC (Win 7 Pro)
2. Apple MacBook Pro Laptop (OS X 10.7.5)
I want to be able to edit images from either machine, but I don't want to create two databases related to the images. I need both machines to use the same database of tags, etc. (Not simultaneously, obviously.)The file server will be one of the following (I haven't determined which one yet):
1. a second drive on the desktop PC
2. a third machine (FreeBSD, FreeNAS, Mac Mini, or a Linux box)
3. a NAS device (perhaps from Synology)
So, is this possible with Photoshop Elements? Does this bump me into some sort of server license scenario with Adobe? Is there a better way to do this at the home/consumer level, even if it means abandoning Elements for another product (or two products, working in conjunction) from Adobe? (I should mention that although it's a home scenario, we're talking about half a terabyte of images and growing.)

I've just installed photoshop cs2 and every time I go to use the brush, my cpu does some major laggin. I've opened task manager while I begin to draw, and right when I start, the cpu usage shoots up to 100% usage.
My specs are:
2.0 Celeron
128m nvidia geforce fx 5200
768 megs of ram

I'm working on a 48 meg file, but my RAM usage was up to 13.9 gigs. I just restarted Ps and opened the file and it's up to 10.7 gigs.
Previously I was always maxing out 10 gigs everyday out of 12 available gigs in the machine also working on small files.( 25-30 meg on average) IT tried playing with things forever and finally just tried ordering more RAM. They ended up putting 28 Gigs in the box. And I'm really not seeing any advantage in Photoshop, other than my system still runs OK outside of Ps while I'm working. well Rhino 3D still crashes from being out of memory, even though there was still 6 gigs free?
I'm just drawing, no filters, not too many layer masks. I do have maybe 15-20 vector smart objects in the file, and I'm at 147 layers. The issue I was having is Pen lag on the Cintiq when I draw starts getting horrible as the RAM usage gets higher. I had been restarting Photoshop constantly to get it to release RAM. But I haven't the last couple days since they doubled the RAM in the machine. And obviously on restart the file still needed a lot of RAM???
I can live with the lag, sucks, but I can still work. I just don't understand why these small files are using so much RAM. Back in the day on 32 bit systems with 4gigs of RAM I would sometimes create posters/covers/magazine spreads that were 1.5- even 4 gigs that would have to be saved as Tiff's because PS didn't support a file that big. This machine runs like that everyday. At home I've been doing some freelance book covers that get up to 450 megs now and then and it still runs better, Cintiq at home draws smoother than this machine that costs 3-4 times more!
It's a win 7 64 bit box, 2 Dual core 2.4 Xeons. two quadro 2000's, now 28GB ram, OS on a 560?GB drive with files on a Terrabyte drive that gets backed up. My hardrives arent rated very high, 5.9, but at least im working local to the machine as the network is slow.

When I attempt to share a photo involving the photoshop showcase, I select a photo and then select share, the photoshop video showcase is offered and not the showcase service for photos. I have created an account at photoshop showcase.com but it will not allow me to upload as apparently it does not know I have PSE 11 and PSPE 11.

I had it uploading to FB yesterday and today it won't go. This has happened before and then when I try again a day later, it will upload. This makes no sense. I've rebooted, attempted to turn off firewall, reset the service in preferences. All I get is a white box and it just hangs there after I go to Share > Facebook.
I am using PSE Organizer 11 on a Windows 7 machine.

I have what would seem to be a simple problem. I cannot successfully send a photo as an email attachment, using Elements 11 Organizer "share" function. I go thru the easy steps and hit the send button but nothing happens. I suspect something or some pathway in my operating system (microsoft vista) or local email provider is not confifured or set up properly.

I am trying to use the Share function from Elements Organizer to share photos with my Flickr account. However, I get an error message each time I try: "Online Services encountered an error. The service will now be terminated or paused if possible. (Error 6: mResponse.IsValis())
I've seen other posts noting the error when trying to share with Flickr, Facebook, Samgmug, etc. but have not seen a good explanation of how to resolve. I'm running Elements Organizer 12.0 on a Mac with OS X 10.8.5.

I am running Photoshop Elements 5.0 on Windows 7. I receive an error message when trying to share photos using Outlook 2010. I have selected Outlook as the Client E-mail in Preferences / Sharing. I have ensured that Outlook is the defaul e-mail in Windows Internet Control Panel. This feature used to work for me before I had to re-install Elements because my computer crashed.

Using Photoshop elements 11:
I built op my catalog, creating events, tagging people etc. Now I would like my girlfriend to also use this catalog. (I can build up a new catalog but then I lose all the events, tags etc).
I put the pictures and catalog in a shared directory but I can't find a way to make Photoshop use my catalog when I go to my girls friend's account. How can I do this?

I have Mac OSX 10.7.5 The catalog exists on a shared LOCAL folder that other users have read-write access to The catalog works fine for the 1st user (no issues viewing, tagging, or updating photos & repairing it yields no issues)However when I try to open this catalog with any other user I receive an error that the catalog may be corrupt and therefore cannot be opened...
Any way to share their catalog with multiple users on a Mac?

It has been reported and reproduced by Support, an issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when they’re saved to a network file share. Upon initial investigations Support have observed the following behaviour when saving a Photoshop file.
The document is initially saved as a new file on the file share.The original .PSD file is deleted on the file share.The newly created file is renamed to the same name as the original file.
An issue often arises when steps 1 and 2 complete however step 3 fails. When a file is reported by users as having disappeared, the new file created in step 1 can be renamed from .00_ to the original *.PSD file name on the server as the *.00_ files are normally hidden by the desktop operating system. This allows people to see and open the file from both PC’s and MAC’s using AFP and SMB protocols.
A related issue often reported by users is that they receive an error message “Could not save as” when trying to save a .PSD file. Troubleshooting the issue confirms that the user is able to save the file if they perform a “Save As” operation in Photoshop.
From the reported problems and observations there is clearly an issue with how Photoshop performs a file save operation further exacerbated by the fact the process doesn’t fail safely.

i created a double sided greeting card (5x7) portrait and selected email attachment under share tab. The result was two separate files. First file was the front of the card and second file was the inside of the card. Not resembling a card. Is there any way to share a card and have it resemble the actions of a real card. (ie: front of card shows first then by clicking next or open or ?? u see the inside of the card?)

I am not able to share photos by attachment to e-mail with Elements 11. After I select the photos, etc. it goes through with "preparing photos" and that is it. It just goes back to the calendar screen shot.

When I use the share button and try to enter new contacts the program will not save them. So each time I go in and want to send an e-mail I have to go look up the e-mail address and re-enter each time.
