You are effing brilliant Ms.B.

I’m not, so I give. How do I choose Edit mode for PSE 5.0? I’ve opened the program several times and nada. Would love to access the process multiple files options.

Thanks much.

Hi Helen – a HUGE thank you for this important tip. Thank you for going through the form step by step. If I had run across your blog post earlier, I would have saved a ton of time. I’ll use this time-saver at least twice a month when I go out to take photos for clients.
Many thanks again,
Suzanne

Hi Helen – thanks for the advise – this is exactly what I do and yet every time after I have filled everything out the way it should be a dialogue widow come up telling me that I have to choose a destination folder – I have chosen the destination folder and yet for some strange reason it does not get recognised – can you please help?! I have used this function before and it worked well .. and as of late it’s just not wanting to playanymore! – I have even tried reinstalling photoshop elements as I thought it might have gotten corrupt .. but nothing … hope you can advise! many thanx

Hi,
I have elements 9 and I am following the steps but when I browse (source)for the file that is on my desktop, none of the images are highlighted and wont let me choose them. A box comes up saying it is empty? Also I can’t get images from i-photo, why is this???

Helen advice on batch processing much appreciated. Last year did a cruise around Australia & came home with 600 + shots (all in RAW) . Really need to convert many into JPEG. One question, do you shoot everything in RAW & later convert for storage or only shoot selectively in RAW? How do you store your images? I have an external hard drive. Should I only store selected images on it in either format? Sorry to appear so dumb but this is essentially a retirement hobby with minimal experience. regards.

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements for about 2 years now, and I did not know this was possible!!!! Thanks so much!!! You have given me so much information and I am so grateful. I have been researching software for watermarking, and have been skeptical to download anything, (My new Virus software found 13 Trojanhorse viruses on my computer, removed of course!) so this feature will certainly be a godsend to me. Thanks again. Very informative and easy to follow.

Helen,

I finally found it — under the Edit area, just as you stated.

This is a little convoluted, in my opinion, since one generally moves to the edit area when working on a single image. It seems to me that one would want to select a group of images from the organize area and then convert them.

I’ll bet that the reason that this got placed where it did was that the development team is divided by major functionality (organize, edit, etc.) and crossing the “line” to another territory is forbidden.

I’d be surprised if this function is not on PSE v 7 because it is in v 5 that I use. I was dissatisfied with the functionality of PSE’s batch processing however – I didn’t like the idea of pre-sorting the portrait and landscape images just to do a simple resize as this interrupts work flow and the watermarking function is only text; you cannot add an image as a watermark.

I found a very useful programme that does these functions and more that is freeware for home users. If it sounds of interest to anyone, take a look at Fast Stone’s Photo Resizer for Windows 2.9 ( http://www.faststone.org ).
