Is Welcome Screen in PSE, not so welcoming for you? || Not able to fully launch Photoshop Elements Editor or Organizer

Sometimes progress-bar keeps going without launching Organizer or Editor from Welcome Screen of Adobe Photoshop Elements. And this becomes very irritating. Here is a quick way to access Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor & Organizer.

Bypass the Welcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer & Editor and then restart your computer.

The Editor's executable is:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"

The Organizer's executable is:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

There was an error opening up the Backup/Synchronization Preferences. Please close Preferences and try again. || Errors in sharing album to photoshop.com

Recently we saw problem in loading of Backup/Sync Preferences in Adobe Photoshop Elements. One of the users is getting following message on attempt of launching Backup/Sync preferences through CTRL+K or Edit Menu. - 'There was an error opening up the Backup/Synchronization Preferences. Please close Preferences and try again.'

This error was always encountered irrespective of Catalogs of Adobe Photoshop Elements.

So let me share the process that happens on launching Preferences, especially Backup/Sync Preferences. On launch, preferences dialog tries to fetch albums in Catalog and on Photoshop.com. Most of the times this error occurs in case Elements Organizer fails to fetch albums from Photoshop.com. There can be various reason for this, so typical process of narrowing it down is -

1. Try the same steps in fresh catalog. Ideally you should be able to see the problem there as well. If not, then it's something we need to work out together.

2. If above step creates problem in fresh Catalog as well, then check if you are able to load all albums on www.photoshop.com? I mean, go to Photoshop.com account and see if you are able to see all your albums there.

3. If you are facing problems with PSE as well as Photoshop.com, then there can be some case of corruption in Albums.xml or some other malfunction. This is something you may want to raise with Adobe, but before that try steps mentioned at - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/incorrect-account-information-photoshop-photoshop.html

How do you nuse Keyword Tags in Adobe Photoshop Elements || Efficient use of Keyword Tags to increase your visibility on Internet

Keyword Tags in Adobe Photoshop Elements have been used as organizing metaphor for a long time and slowly some of the users have identified the power of Keywords.

Appropriate keywords in JPEGs can be very useful for Photographers to increase their visibily on web. JPEGs can have these Keywords as Metadata and major search Engines like Google work well indentifying right images for search. And majorly these searches depend upon these keywords. E.g.- If we search for New York Photographs on Google, results will show photographs which have right keywords associated.

Now point is to understand the way to write these Keywords into the JPEGs. So here is a simple process -

1. Attach appropriate Keywords Tags to your Photograph.
2. Select this Photograph and Write Metedata through File Menu option.
3. Now export these photographs.

How to check if Keywords are added to exported JEPGs or not? - Import these JPEGs to a temporary catalog and then if it throws a dialog for importing Keyword-Tags then it shows that Keywords are there in JPEGs.

Now if we use such photographs on our Blogs or Websites, chances will increase for these to come in search results on Google.

Is 'Building Preview' in Album sharing irritating for you?

Today I realized that Album sharing by trying various gallery-templates in Elements Organizer can be very irritating, especially when you have multiple photographs in an Album. Because every time, we apply a template it takes lot of time to build preview and time increases with number of photographs/files you have.

On discussing with one of my other PSE friend, I got to know about a simple workflow which can save lot of time.

1. Pick 3-5 of main photographs from your Album and go to Album Creation workflow.

2. Experiment with various templates you have and decide on a final template.

3. Now add more photographs to your album and share it.

So if we look at this process, it will save lot of time while experimenting with sharing templates in Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer.

Not able to locate your Custom-Bursh in Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I have a Photo-blog and long time back I had created a a brush to watermark my photographs before I put them online. Few days back that brush gone away from Adobe Photoshop Elements. I was wondering the reason for the same and the best guess I could make was - custom-brushes are swiped on loading new burshes which are downloaded from free online websites.

So best way to keep custom-brushes is to save them after creation. In Brush selection dialog, there is an option to shape any of the brush. So whenever you create a new custom-brush, please save it explicitly. So that in future, it can be reloaded again after some problems with custom-brushes in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

"Define Brush" option under Edit Menu is always disabled in Adobe Photoshop Elements

Sometimes 'Define Brush' option under Edit menu of Editor (Adobe Photoshop Elements) remain disabled and at times, very irritating. 

Here is one of the main reasons for state being disabled - If any side of the image is more than 2500 pixels. So simple solution is to resize image to reduce each side (Width and Height) less than 2500 pixels. 

There is one another similar incident through which your defined brushes get lost. This happens when you load any new brush. So best way to avoid it is to save the Brush after you define them.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 - Lasso Tool Begins and then Quits

Today we are going to share something which is picked from Adobe Forums and solution has worked. It 's about the situation when your Lasso Tool starts creating problems. 

Here application quits on the usage of Lasso tool. So if this happens with you, just follow step mentioned below -

After opening a photograph in Editor workspace, click on the highlighted area in above image. It's area where image size is mentioned. Keep your mouse in clicked form for 10 seconds and Editor will go in 'Not Responding' state. Now leave it and try to use Lasso Tool. Not sure if this will also work on Win-XP or not, because Not-Responding state is more frequent on Vista & Win7 as compared to Win-XP.

This error occurs when there are some issues with Plugins on the system. When EO is launching it tries to fetch the plugins from two locations (for win7):

1.    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Plug-Ins

2.    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 10

2.    Some plugins may be missing (may be removed by anti-virus or similar softwares).

3.    Plugins gets corrupted.

To avoid getting this error message-

>> Uninstall PSE. Now close any anti-virus (or similar software) and re-install PSE.

Understanding Color Management and It's relevance in Adobe Photoshop Elements PART-2 || Understanding sRGB and AdobeRGB Color-Spaces

After discussing about Color Spaces and Color Gamuts, today we are going to focus on sRGB and AdobeRGB.

Usually SRGB is default Coor Space selected in most of the Cameras we use. Some of the cameras may offer variations of the sRGB color space, such as Vivid Color.

We can probably set our camera to the Adobe RGB color space. As mentioned, this color space has more colors (in generic terms). But, photographs using AdobeRGB may not display properly on your monitor and some labs may not be able to use AdobeRGB for printing.

If you decide to use AdobeRGB, you must use the AdobeRGB color space throughout your photography system.To know more about sRGB and AdobeRGB, check out - http://knowphotographybasics.blogspot.in/2012/05/does-adobergb-and-srgb-confuses-you.html/ncr

How to restore back-ups of older versions (7.0, 8.0, 9.0) in latest version of Adobe Photoshop Elements (10.0) || Restoring PSE7/8/9 catalogs in PSE10
