Date/Time problem with latest update of Adobe Camera Raw

Recently a problem has been discovered where time shown for Raw files is not correct. Problem is clearly visible to folks who shoot RAW + JPEG. In this case JPEG and RAW have different times, due to which order changes drastically in Elements Organizer.


Adobe has recently released an article to go to back to ACR 6.3 for some time and wait for next update to come. They are trying to fix this problem in upcoming update.


As of now, this is main concern for people who have following cameras - 

• Canon EOS 600D (Rebel T3i / Kiss X5 Digital)
• Canon EOS 1100D (Rebel T3 / Kiss X50 Digital)
• Fuji FinePix S200 EXR
• Fuji FinePix F550 EXR
• Fuji FinePix HS20 EXR
• Fuji FinePix X100
• Hasselblad H4D-40
• Kodak Z990
• Nikon D5100
• Olympus E-PL1s
• Olympus E-PL2
• Olympus XZ-1
• Samsung NX11

Folks with these cameras need to wait for next update because ACR 6.3 will not work for your raw files. if you click JPEG, then it's not an issue for you.

And note that files need to be re-imported into Organizer to get correct dates. Not all files but the only sets which are imported after updating ACR 6.4/6.4.1 

How to switch off Face Recoginition in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0

In past few days I have been seeing folks who are done with most of the face recognition activities in their old catalogs and want to switch it off. There are few cases, where folks don't want to use Face recognition because its not an important workflow for them. Because again and again rectangles keep popping up on top of photographs in Elements Organizer.

1. Launch Elements Organizer
2. Go to Edit Menu and Click on 'Preferences'
3. It will launch Preferences dialog. Now click on Media-Analysis tab.
4. Make sure that option for "Analyze Photos from People Automatically" is unchecked.
