There are no Smart albums displayed. nor is 'create new smart album' displayed as an available option when I click on the + Album button. When I try to create a new album 'last 6 months' (which I know was pre-created as a smart album in a previous version of element) a warning message that this album already exists is displayed, but I can find no way to locate this smart album or create a new smart album? Is my newly downloaded Elements 11 corrupted in some way, or are the smart albums just hidden and need making visible in some way?
I updated my software from Elements 7 to 11 some weeks ago but I'm still not happy with the structure of my new Organizer. I'm a planespotter which means something like collecting photos of different aircrafts and airlines like post stamps. In PSE 7 I used the tag- and category-tool for organizing these photos by airport. This part works in PSE 11 as well.But I also used to create one 'Smart-Album' for each airline I've ever seen. The big advantage was that I had to create such an album for just one time and every photo I ever named e.g. "Lufthansa" was automatically sorted into the corresponding smart-album. So I had a list that showed all airlines I've taken at least one photo of.
I know that Adobe replaced the smart-albums in PSE 11 by the 'saved searches'. But I don't like this tool, it's not what I'm looking for. I want a visible list of my airlines and it should be created more or less intuitively/automatically, to have not more to do manually than before (efficiency and clarity is very important to me thinking of 5000+ photos and 300+ airlines).
So my questions would be:
1. Is there any possibility to manage it the way I described above in PSE 11? 2. If not, anything that could be suitable for my requirements?
How the Smart Sound stuff works so maybe I'm missing something. I've been using it since X4, now I'm running X6Ultimate. Both X4 and X5 have been uninstalled. I am running QuickTracks 5.1.8. I purchased the downloaded versions of VS.
Now, in X6, when using Auto Music I have the Scope set to Owned titles. It shows I have 11 albums available to use.
Of those, the Add to Timeline is always greyed out when these albums are selected. Family, Good Times, Positive Outlook, Scoring Essentials
Why can't I access those albums? If I click on SmartSound Quicktracks I can rebuild the smartsound database, no effect.
On the Albums tab Only the following Albums are listed, Core Foundations, Family, New Standard and Online Purchases. All but Family show Available = Yes. Family shows No.
If I select Family and click on Properties there are 10 selections with 0 copied to the drive. If I try to copy any of them to the drive it want's me to insert the "Family" disc into the drive. I don't have a disc, never have.
I continually receive a message saying that I have an Internet ot firewall problem whenever I attempt to upload photo albums to share using Elements. Neither is factually correct.
How do I recover albums that disappeared? I was in Elements, came back to Organize and thousands of hours of work were gone...no albums at all. Can they be recovered?
I am changing computers and plan to reinstall my elements 9 onto the new one. Before I uninstall the program off the old computer is there a way to save my "albums" and "tags"?
Using Photoshop Elements 10 organizer, all pictures are still present in the organizer, however all of the elements have disappeared? How I can recover the albums?
My computer had to be reformatted with the operating system re-loaded (Vista). I reloaded PE 10 and then moved my saved photos back into the software. the problem is that all of my tags (various family and friends) seem to have disappeared completely from the Organizer as has an album I painstakingly set up. I have all the photos, but a subset of them are not organized into the album I created.
Is there any way to get back my tags (the categories aren't even showing in Organizer and the photos aren't tagged) and to get back my album?
I'm a layman in using PSE (version 8). I've arranged all my photos in sevaral catalogs and I've build several albums. Now I have to move over all this to a new PC, also running a newer version of PSE (10 or 11). On that PC the main folder in which al my pictures reside will probably be on a different drive.
Upgraded from Photoshop Elements v6 to PS Elements v12. v12 does not display captions, tags or albums created in v6. Where did they go? I did back up via v6 and loaded .tly in v12.
After installing Elements 11 I used the convert feature to pull my Albums and Catalog from Elements 9 . I see the Albums from elements 9 listed in my elements 11 organizer but most don't have pictures in them, and some don't have all the pictures that they should. I then try to select the Album photos from an external hard drive to import them but elements 11 tells me that the photos already are in the Catalog and won't download them. I tried changing the name of the Album in Elements 11 to see if I could pull the pictures from the External HD though I get the same message.
I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac running Mountain Lion. When I opened PSE today and the organizer, I noticed that the Albums all had a "- sign" - sure enough, I looked in each album and they are all empty. I didn't actually notice it until I'd created a new album, dragged in some photos, looked at the photos in the editor and then went back to the organizer where I found that the album I had been working on was empty. The photos themselves all appear to be in the media of the organizer but just not in the albums an longer. or if not, how the heck do I just delete an album?
btw, all my "folders" still show up below the albums.
a PS.. since posting this, all the media has disappeared from my organizer (the albums part) previously if I clicked on the "all media" button, it would show me all my photos but they have now disappeared as well.
a new glitch -- now when I double click on an album - photos appear in it that don't belong there -- in fact in most albums, I'm getting the photos I just imported into my hard drive today and made into a new album!
I noticed it is allowed to install Photoshop Elements on 2 PCs, using just one licence ; of course not using it on both PC at the same time.If I build Albums on PC 1, how do I access the Albums on PC 2.Both PCs are on a unique ethernet network, with shared HDD.
I can save PSE 11 Albums to my hard drive, and it creates a tidy little package that I should be able to link to from within my website (pointing to the index.html file).However, this doesn't work.
I'm using Web Easy as my development tool (because such tools as Dreamweaver and Expression Web are entirely beyond my ken), and it has all the options I'd think necessary to simply "bolt on" PSE Albums.
I can launch the album from Windows explorer without any problem, but when linked to my site, the index.html file seems only to check whether the proper version of Flash is installed. I can't get it to execute past that point.
I'm using PSE-9 organizer to select process and build a photo album that will have 10 or 12 subfolders or chapters. First I can't seem to eliminate the images I've already screened and put into a chapter, and when I select some images for inclusion in a chapter, when I go back to that chapter every image I've looked at is in the folder.
Can I have a category album, then an album, then a third step down of sub-albums within the album for, say, grouping separately different ports of call when cruising? My (very old) PhotoshopElements could do this but unfortunately was not compatible with my new Windows 8 pc so I had to get Elements 12.
I need to share photographs in an online photography class I am taking by setting up an album and giving the class access to look at them with an URL link. Can I do this using Photoshop Elements?
in PSE12 I have my own old structure in C-drive. With this structure activated, the preset with LOCAL ALBUMS disappear. So when in my own C structure I can not find and see my old albums and hence I can not add pictures to old albums. In PSE10 ALBUMS and TAGS where on the right side and very easy to work with, now I only have imported tags on my right side.
