I have been thinking about how to organise the images from the EOS I am going to shoot this summer. The Photoshop Elements 3.0 is doing decent job in keeping an archive, but too often it crashes (there are c. 3700 pics in the archived folders so far, wonder if it is the numbers, or if the programme is just inherently unstable) – but then there is the online reference thing. Currently I am pondering between making the online folders from the Elements, or continue using JAlbum, which prints the techical data nicely, but on the other hand, the scaling-down of hi-rez original produces nastily jagged artifacts into lines, as you can see from this sample of a crow in Midsummer evening.
The rest of this photo trip into summery Häme, as handled by JAlbum, are visible in this folder.
Ok, I got the Elements3 error fixed, thanks to this
thread in Adobe customer forums (thanks, guys!). Essential steps are:
“I renamed the thumbnail cache file (tn.4.cache) and restarted the organizer. This allowed me to get back in, after which I: selected all; right clicked; updated thumbnails.”
