Recently Adobe has released a new version of Adobe Camera Raw which had extra support for 10 new cameras. That effectively means that, if you update Camera Raw plug-In for Adobe Photoshop Elements, you will be able to import, organize and edit raw files from following cameras:

Canon EOS 550D (Digital Rebel T2i/ EOS Kiss X4 Digital)

Leaf Aptus-II 8

Currently this plug-in is available on Adobe Labs @ http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_6.1

What all you loose if want to move out of Organizer?

.

Today I was reading a discussion about Adobe Photoshop Elements, where a user wanted to move to Mac from win. Since Organizer is not there on Mac as of now, s/he needs to use other organizing application.

On Adobe Forums, there is a user "JOHN R ELLIS" who has amazing knowledge about different imaging products. On this thread he has shared detailed information about migration from ORGANIZER to other applications like:

- BRIDGE
- iPHOTO
- LIGHTROOM
- APERTURE
- PSE7 inside Virtual Machine

Check out this thread for more details:Ado

Adobe Photoshop Elements-Editor has stopped working

.

Recently I read something on Adobe forum and found it very useful. One user was facing a problem after applying 7.0.3 update and suddenly Editor stopped working for him. This was not actually related to update but followin steps solved his problem. I though of capturing these details here:

There are many reasons why the PSE Editor might not getting launched or crashes. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem. Even if you think you’ve tried some of these  before, try them again, precisely as described here:


1.      Delete the Editor’s preferences:

Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen. Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Edit.  Keep holding down the keys until you see a window asking “Delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?” Click Yes. (Note that this does not delete the Organizer’s settings.)


2.      Change the default printer, as described in these tech notes:

3.      If you have a Microsoft pointing device, the Microsoft Intellipoint driver software may be conflicting with the Editor. Try uninstalling it and rebooting. (Your device may operate without the software.)

4.      If the Editor crashes after displaying “Building TWAIN menu items” on the splash screen, see this tech note:

5.      Try Adobe’s generic troubleshooting steps.  If you’ve installed third-party plug-ins, start with that step first.
