Photoshop Elements :: How To Filter Duplicates Pictures
Nov 18, 2012
In the course of migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8, I ended up with a large number of duplicate pictures. Is there a way to filter duplicates to avoid going through the 9,000+ in my data base?
Why do I keep getting exact replicates/duplicates of pictures in the organizer. More duplicates with more movement of the picture, ie more tags. I keep deleting them, and they still come back
Used a sketch photcopy filter on a picture and then made changes (text, clone stamp) to the picture after applying the filter. Now in putting new photos through the filter, the photos stay too light even with the darkest settings. How do I make it go back to normal?
When I am editing my pictures I keep getting a slightly transparent duplicate (about 50 of them all over my original. I am sure its in my settings some place but I cannot find out where.
I have imported photos from hard drives and have many duplicates. Is there some way to elimanate the duplicates, other than one-by-one? is thare a method to delete all duplicates?
I am experiencing numerous duplicate photo images in my PSE catalog. I woud like to do a search of the catalog and bulk remove the duplicates. Is there a way to do this?
I open the software, optimize the database, hit the triangle button and click "find duplicates." This freezes the software each and every time.
Virus caused me to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the software. The problem is the software has about 2 or 3 times the pictures it should it shows previous edits and two pictures and on top of that edited the pictures as it imported them so some pictures appear 3 times. I really need to get this taken care of. Using 64 bit Windows 7.
When I import jpeg images from Sony a77 camera to my windows 7 computer I am getting 2 more dupplicates, the 2nd one has noise that looks like rectangles . Is there a fix for this? It is on elements 10.
Just upgraded to Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12. Decided to use Elements Organizer for the first time starting with a completely new Catalog.
I selected a subset of my photos to just check it out -- a folder with 3 subfolders. I am certain there are zero duplicates in my Windows file structure. After "Get Photos and Videos" "From Files and Folders..." the import occured quickly but all 3 subfolders were duplicated under "My Folders". Photos were also duplicated.
It's not too bad that My Folder shows dupes but the images are considered 100% different between. For example, if I tag 1 photo, the same one in the duplicate folder still needs tagged. I should not need to run a duplicate image search either when the source folder contains no duplicates. This is really disconcerting as I have nearly 20K photos (I scanned every photo my mom and dad took from the past 30 years). Cleanup of false dupes in something that large is just rediculous.
Is this a bug? May-be an intentional function of the program?
I have just transferred all my files from my computer to the Organiser and I notice that there are quite a few duplicates appearing in the folders. Is there a quick way to delete the duplicates?
I want to apply a filter (poster edge) on several pictures. I don't want to do it separatly but in batch. I tried the automate batch but I can't do it (or I have not find out how!! )
When I use the ratings filter with the CIB catalog of photos it works fine. But when I apply it to my own it doesn't. I follow the exact procedures but it doesn't seem to work the same way. After I have applied some star ratings to my photos, and I have all media displayed in the media browser, I go up to the filter by ratings stars and click on one of them (for example, I click on five stars). I would expect that the browser would eliminate all the images except those with a five star rating. This is how it works with the CIB images. But with mine, only some of the displayed images are eliminated, and the ones with five stars are scattered amongst the remaining images. For all of them that did not meet the criteria, there is a small circular badge with a slash line through it at the upper right of the thumbnail. I cannot get this function to perform correctly despite numerous attempts. The only thing I see as different from the CIB work is that I have stacked my photos into 5 stacks. But when I try using the ratings filter, I have expanded the stacks to show all 116 images.
I have set up one new album in Organizer, but cannot add pictures. The Import button is greyed out, and I can find nothing in the toolbars that is not also greyed out.
I have taken pictures before in RAW, but all of the sudden the program is unable to open such pictures. I have added light room 5 but I want to take advantage of the layer sistem on elements.
I'm an amateur artist who sometimes used, in Photoshop Elements 9, a filter in the "render" category that could change the lighting. It was terrific for creating things like candlelight, campfire glows, or (in this admittedly amateurish backdrop for my website) sunrises through objects. Now I have Photoshop Elements 12, and the feature has vanished! Is there a legal way to transfer it from 9 to 12, since it's all from the same company? Or would that violate the tampering ban even though it's from one Adobe product to another? If it's legal, where is the filter stored, and where do I move it to? URL...
I have been emailing my pictures for quite some time. I would select a picture right click the mouse and open the picture with Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 Then I would enhance the picture and resize the picture to 950-733 pixels. I would then go to file and put "Save As" when the prompt came up I would put in example bus-1 and hit ok I would go up top and close back to my pictures. When I would write an email and attach the picture I could identify it as bus-1 and it would be resized to 950--733 pixels for emailing. But now when I Save as all of the pictures come up in that file and I cannot find Bus-1. It must have changed and I don't know why.
I have Photshop Elements 11 and running Windows 7, and I have 2 different pictures of my kids, one in each picture and was wondering if there was a way to merge the two pictures into 1, either by cut and pasting or some other way. I have spent 2 days trying everything I know, which isn't much.
With my old 10 elements I could upload directly from my camera into the organizer, with 12 it won't. I have to get each picture from a different folder, edit it, then save to another folder......
I have installed Elements 11 and converted the catalog from Elements 10, but when I open Elements 11 organizer, my pictures don't show up. How do I find them and get them to open in the version sets and stacks I already have?
When I have multiple pictures up, how do I keep two pictures from merging when I move one of the pictures to the side? I would like to turn this feature off.
