USING ELEMENTS 9 ORGANIZER

Managing files and catalogs

Last updated 9/12/2011

Optimize a catalog

You can reduce the amount of space used by a catalog and improve its performance by optimizing it.

1 Make sure the Photoshop Elements Editor is closed.

2 Select File > Catalog.

3 In the Catalog Manager, select the catalog you want to optimize.

4 Click Optimize.

A dialog box will report when the catalog and thumbnail cache have been optimized.

Repair a catalog

When your catalog is damaged by a power failure or technical glitch, Elements Organizer displays a message saying

that there’s a problem with the catalog. Use the Repair command to fix it. Photoshop Elements can find and repair

errors in a catalog database or thumbnail cache.

Note: (Mac OS) You cannot access catalogs present on a network drive.

1 Make sure the Photoshop Elements Editor is closed.

2 Select File > Catalog.

3 In the Catalog Manager, select the catalog you want to repair.

4 Click Repair.

One of three dialog boxes will open. The first three of these allow you to select Re-index Visual Similarity Data

(Windows only).

5 Do one of the following:

• If a dialog box reports No Errors Were Found In The Catalog, click OK or Repair Anyway.

• If a dialog box reports that the catalog doesn’t have errors, but the thumbnail cache does, click Delete Thumbnail

Cache if you want Photoshop Elements to delete and regenerate the cache.

• If a dialog box reports that errors were found, click OK or Cancel. If errors were also found in the thumbnail cache,

Photoshop Elements deletes the cache and regenerates it.

• If a dialog box reports that the catalog is unrecoverable, consider loading a backup of the catalog.

Convert a catalog (Windows only)

You can convert catalogs made with previous versions of Photoshop Elements, or with Photoshop Album, so that you

can use them in the current version of Photoshop Elements.

1 Select File > Catalog.

2 Click Convert.

The Convert Catalog dialog box opens and searches the default locations for the catalogs of Photoshop Elements and

Photoshop Album.

3 (Optional) To browse additional locations for catalogs, click Find More Catalogs, and browse to the locations.

4 Select a catalog from the list to convert, and click Convert.

5 To close the Convert Catalog dialog box, click Done.
