View 4 RepliesI 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOne 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.
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?

Also, can I upgrade to this software from Photoshop elements 7?
I messed up by stacking photos before moving to an album. I need to permanently unstack photos. The 'stack' option in 'edit' is grey so I cannot select it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving just upgraded from PSE 7 to Photoshop CS4 I am fuming about the apparent lack of Organizer's version sets in Bridge - unbelievable! Then I discovered Version Cue in the documentation and I thought, OK - this looks heavy handed but it should do the job of keeping track of my saved files as I develop an image, but when I tried to activate Version Cue - huh! it's not there! Seems it's not provided with the basic version of CS4. How is it that Elements (the "stripped down" version of CS4) can be so much better than CS4 in this regard? Can I buy Version Cue somewhere or can I somehow integrate Organizer with CS4?

so im painting cars for nr2003 and i got a base scheme with layer sets that i cant open. i can simplify it, but it only flattens the contained layers. im pretty sure it has multiple layers in it. i will leave when i get an answer on how to open them in photoshop elements 2.0.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe've started using State Sets to manage the output of render elements from our scenes and all was looking great UNTIL we noticed a rather nasty bug.
I hope I can describe this clearly. Here goes:
I have created 3 State Sets as follows:
Beauty
Outputting/saving a bitmap to ".eautyFrame_Beauty_.jpg" from the Render Output 'Save File' section.
No Render Elements enabled.
Reflection
No Ouput/file saved from the Render Output 'Save File' section.
Reflection Render Element enabled and outputting a bitmap to ".RefFrame_Ref_.jpg"
AO
Outputting/saving a bitmap to ".AOFrame_AO_.jpg"
AO material in Material Override section enabled.
Exposure Control deactivated.
Now when I switch between these state sets by clicking on the green arrows in the State Sets dialogue the 'output path' from the Beauty or AO state set gets transposed onto the output path in the Reflection Render Element in the Reflection state set.
It seems that Max 'recreates' the Render element each time the green arrow for that state set is clicked and any active Render Element inherits the output path from the previously active state set.
This effectively renders them unworkable for managing Render Elements.
What are the rules for how elements (specifically, collections and other collection sets) are ordered within a collection set?
I was trying to get a collection to appear at the top of the list of items in a collection set, but it seems to get stuffed below all the other collection sets regardless of the name given to the collection.
I have 10 exposures (photos) of stars and i want to stack them into one photo, but not start rails. I want sharp stars. With more exposures we get more details on the picture and less noise. I open all pictures as layers and use "edit"> "auto align layers", but got this message "Layers do not overlap enough to detect alignment. In general, images intended for alignment should overlap by approximately 40%."
So, i tried second option, "edit" >"auto blend layers", but got worse result. I don't even know if i use right tool. I hope you understand what i want to say. Here is the example (he stacked 6 30sec exposures into one in Photoshop, but how? :/): go to Flickr and add this at URL (i cant post URLs yet): "photos/corsonandroski/4887232674/"
I've been using photoshop cs (now cs2) for a year - especially for photography, and there is something that I just don't understand which should be as simple as scratching your ....back. I often apply multiple filters on different layers like this: copy background layer (call it base layer) and every time I'm applying a new filter I'm doing so by stacking a "frech" copy of the base layer and painting on Layer Masks if needed - no problems so far.
My question is: When I'm stacking with a fresh base layer ready to get some - lets say noise - the underlaying layer (could be for example a blur filter) dissapears - I know I can copy the layermask and drag it up if I have for example reshapend the eyes, but the blur of course dissapears. As for now i just flatten the image and start again but I know this is not the right way to do it.
Is it possible to aplly multiple filters on top of each other and then use merge visible and then at last apllying the merge visible layer a layer mask and paint back the sharpnees of eyes, lips ect. SHORT: HOW DO I STACK LAYERS WITH MULTIPLE FILTERS AND AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAIN THE EFFECTS ON MY WORKING DOCUMENT (PICTURE). Thanks for any advice given .
I tried to find a CS6 forum in which I could post but could not find a forum that I was alowed to post inI have taken several photos with multiple focal points and I am trying to merge them in Photoshop CS6 but in every attempt I end up with a single layer that is used while the others indicate no selections at all.
Even when using just 2 images the process only uses the first image and it sets the mask to transparent.Here are the steps I've been following Open each of the images I want to stack.Use the Photomerge tool with Auto, Blend Images Together, and Add Open Files. This successfully creates a new image with multiple layers but areas are being selected.Use Auto Blend Layers, Stack Image with Seamless Tones and Colors checked.The obvious result is no change because only the first layer is being used.
I just bought the Photoshop CS6 and I tried to do stacking photos to create star trails but it won't.

I have browsed the web for two days and found nothing that helps me. The crux of the issue is that i get to a point where i have applied maybe three adjustment layers and then aaply say a sharpening layer only to find i cannot see its effect on the image due to its order in the stack.

No problem.Now with 11 this doesn't happen. It doesn't happen with either Editor or Organizer. A search on these pages shows a similar problem with Elements 10. I've carried out this procedure but it doesn't work. Why not? What is the point of this programme if it won't import from a scanner or am I missing something?
