Question

When saving a photo edited via the Editor, the timestamp in the Organizer changes.

When a photo is edited using the Photoshop Editor, the Organizer displays a modified timestamp after saving. One hour is added to it. As a result, the edited photo appears in the wrong position within the Organizer. However, in Windows Explorer, the "Date Taken" field continues to display the correct time.

If I delete the edited photo from the catalog and then re-import it, the photo is sorted into the correct position in the Organizer, and the actual capture time is displayed once again.

Consequently, up until now, I have had to correct the time after every photo editing using the "Change Date and Time" button.

How can I avoid this extra effort?

For the past six months, I have been using:

Elements Organizer 26.0.0.0

Prior to this, I worked with Photoshop Elements 2021 and did not encounter this problem.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this horrible bug has not been fixed in Elements 2027!

Please don’t shoot the messenger.

Also note that the Save in Version Set box is OFF by default and that checking the box is not sticky. IOW, you must check the box each time you save a file in a version set. The only good news is that checking the box automatically adds an _edited-[numeral] suffix to the file name.

Unbelievable. The basic stuff should never have been broken (they need some good regression testing). They also need to prioritize fixes over new features.

I have 26.3 and this is still a problem. This is very frustrating. Been using elements for around 20 years and this has never been a problem. The save as doesn’t work right either and was never a problem before.

I share everyone’s frustration. This is an unacceptable bug that needs to be fixed.

Hi Chris,

the problem has not yet been solved by Adobe. Since 3 month I didn’t receive anything new from the Community Expert Greg. I am getting frustrated and sometimes I think I shouldn’t have upgraded.

Hi, I also have v2026.3 and the issue has not been resolved. I have just updated from 2022 where the problem never existed. This is a completely unacceptable error and needs immediate resolution. regards Chris

Sorry, I thought this had been fixed, but clearly it is not. I have reported this to Adobe.

This problem has been fixed with Elements 2026.3. The fastest way to make sure you get the updated program is to uninstall the current program and reinstall it from this link. Please let us know if you are still having issues after installing the update. BTW, if you also have Premiere Elements 2026 installed you should uninstall that too before reinstalling the updated program.
