Photoshop Elements :: How To Display Several Duplicate Pictures On Top
Sep 13, 2012
Something has caused my screen to display several duplicate pictures on top of the pic I am editing. I think it is probably in my settings somewhere but I cant find it.
I imported about 2600 pictures from iPhoto to Elements 11 on my iMac OS 10.8.2. Now there are hundreds of duplicates; deleting one at a time is a real pain. Can I identify and bulk delete duplicates in Elements 11?
I'm new to Elements 10 and I'm having a hard time figuring things out but 1 thing in particular. I'm on a PC and use Windows 7.I already import a lot of pic's to Elements or so I thought.
When I'm in "Folder Location" and click on a folder it doesn't display any pictures and says "No files from this folder have been imported into Elements Organizer. To add any files, right click on the folder and select "Import to Organizer"
So I do as I'm told and then i get this error."Nothing was imported. The files or folders selected to import did not contain any supported file types or the files are already in this catalog."
I’m editing an image in Elements 11 and have accidentally gotten myself into a mode that I don’t understand and so far have not been able to extract myself from. I want to clone an item from the image. I select the Clone Stamp tool and suddenly I have a second floating duplicate of the image which gets dragged around every time I move the cursor. How do I get rid of this second floating image?
I have somwhow created two tags for the same person in my database, and am trying to merge the people together (and also if possible merge the two lots of photos of the person together).
Elements 8. I have over 13,000 photo's in my catalog. How can I delete all of the duplicate photo's? This would dramaticly reduce my catalog size making it much faster and easier to use.
I have been using many versions of photoshop elements and edited many of my files. So, now I have very many duplicates, near duplicates, and versions of the same photo. I think I have over 20,000 photos and they are taking up too much space. I tried using a duplicate file remover and it removed several thousand, but I still see many duplicates when I run photoshop elements 11. I am tempted to not use the organizer any more and just rely on a folder browser.
I have photoshop elements 11 and want to know how to take the same photo and duplicate it three times next to eachother in the same frame and then be able to enhance the photos separately
Select a "Do not show duplicates" box in Preferences that doesn't seem to exist with my Mac version. How do I force Elements 11 to ignore photos I've already uploaded?
I have multiple duplicate photos in my Photoshop Element 10 catalog - I have run across the compare a photo tutorials but I have possiblely some 200+ photos that are duplicates. Any simpler way to remove duplicate photos?
is there any way to delete duplicate photos in batches rather than individually?
Also, I have not been able to register my product (I purchased it about a week ago. There is no serial number on the box or on the envelope the disc came in nor is it on the disc itself. I've tried contacting support but when I click on the link that tells me there is an agent available, nothing happens.
I have recently used back up for the first time whislt replacing my computer and moving to Windows 7. I now have different pictures with the same file name on the back up drive (F:) and the computer hardrive (C:). When I click on a picture the picture inOrgnaiser appears and then qickly disappers and the second picture with the same file nane appears. The first to appear is that on the C drive the second is that on the F drive, the back up drive.
How can I merge duplicate tags from facial recognition in Photoshop Elements 11? For example, if I mistakenly created two tags, both called Bill, how can I put all Bill's pictures in one file? I found an answer for previous editions of Photoshop Elements, but Photoshop Elements 11 has changed the organizer so I can't figure out how to do it. Also, it doesn't seem possible to see two sets of tags at the same time - is this a glitch?
I'm using Elements Organizer 11.0 with Windows 8. These temp files have been a problem in at least the previous three versions of PSE with the previous three versions of Windows.
Scenario: Suspiciously low on disk space Problem: Found thousands of duplicate image files in Windows temp folder (ex. C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalTemp)
PSE creates these files and never deletes them AFAICS after exiting the program, rebooting, using the Windows 'Disk Cleanup' utility, optimizing the catalog, etc. I found no user preference for deleting temp files or limiting them to a particular size.
These can be created for many reasons, but one sure way to do this is to choose File>Save Metada to Files. (If you don't have any images selected it will attempt to do this for all files displayed.) In my case it makes a duplicate of my 29MB CR2 file and a backup of the associated 4KB XMP file. I've used Windows' fc.exe utility to verify that the CR2 is exactly the same, byte for byte.
Is PSE designed to leave these around for us to clean up after they consume the entire hard disk? Am I missing something?
I have many slides, scanned over the past 10 years, with duplicate file names and filed by date. I converted my Elements 9 from PC to iMac and many incorrect connections occured. Is there a way I can correct these connection errors? This problem involves about 5% of my 25,000 photo files.
Many users forget or even aren't aware of the fact that they can't have duplicate names for elements. Or in a long list of elements, they don't oversee which names are already in use. So they try to change the name, but it does not 'stick' (the name reverts immediately to what it was).
Of course it should be (or become) general knowledge and a good care that duplicate names won't occur, but just like with the prompt that warns for unallowed characters (spaces and all), it would be nice to prompt the user that there's a duplicate name.
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.
