Photoshop 2024 Organiser won't load

[mc55beds]

I have Adobe Lightroom, previously having Adobe Photoshop Elements on another PC. The old system was simple; when you loadeded Ps you could choose Edit or Organize.  With this one I load Lr then Photoshop but can't select Orginize because there isn't one. If you put Orginize/Orginising Etc into Help nothing comes up. I have bought  Photoshop for Dummies but it (and Youtube) asume you are on Orginiser  Page - which I'm not because I don't know how to load it. I don't know if my Keyword tabs have loaded from my old PC (someone installed Lr for me when they sold me the new PC)  all my photos are loaded in My  fFles but I don't know if the Keyword Tabs are because I can't view them in Organiser.  Can someone please explain/point me to a  simple Youtube step by step way of solving the problem. Thanks Mick

Photoshop does not and has never had an organizer. Photoshop Elements does.

Can you let us know:

• Are you using PS or PSE?
• Are you using Lightroom or Lightroom Classic?

We will move your post once we hear back.

Some screenshots can help us understand your situation and problem better.

I have sent this again because jane-e sent me an e mail and I replied with the below  but was not delivered.

Thank you for your reply, I don't know anything about PS/PSE or Lightroom/Lightroom Classic. I had to buy Lightroom because I thought it was the only way of getting  the latest version of Photoshop. I have on my new PC Adobe Lightroom version 8.1 (Ls), Photoshop is 26.2.0 Release (Ps). My old version, on my other PC, is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 - with an organiser.

For clarity, I did not send you an email and do not even know your email address! The forum software automatically sends emails when there is a Reply unless you turn it off in preferences. I disabled it and do not get email replies.

• Photoshop 26.2 is the current version
• Photoshop Elements 8 was released in 2009. The current version is PSE 2025.
• Lightroom is version 8.1
• Lightroom Classic is version 14.1

"I load Lr then Photoshop but can't select Orginize because there isn't one"

The reason you cannot select Organize in Photoshop is because there isn't one. Does this answer your question? If not, please ask again.

As Bojan said, please include screenshots.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am still confused. Could you please help
by saying what version of Lightroom/Photoshop I should be on to get
Organiser and do I need to contact Adobe technical department. The
screenshot shows why I took up with Lr/Ps, it needs titivating slightly and
saving. On my old PC it would be Churches/Altars in Organiser.

Again, Photoshop does not and has never had an organizer.

Both images are from Photoshop Elements 8, released in 2009, which has an organizer. Neither are from Photoshop, which does not have an organizer and never has.

Photoshop and Photoshop Elements are two entirely separate applications.

Can you or anyone else please advise on how to get a Photoshop app that contains an Organiser that will enable to carry on with my album currently 120gb. Thank you

There aren't any versions of Photoshop with an Organizer.

If you want the Organizer, use Photoshop Elements instead. You can purchase a 3-year subscription here:

If you have installed Photoshop, try using Bridge as an organizer; it should come free with Photoshop.

[mc55beds]

Thank you for your advise. I have now downloaded Bridge and will try to apply it. Jane e you are completely right about Organiser and Photoshop/Photoshop Elements. I didn't know they were not the same thing. It is a pity I had just bought a copy of  Photoshop Elements for Dummies. I hope the non Organiser sections are applicable the book cost £20! Kind regards, Mick

I'm glad I was able to help you sort this out @mc55beds . Adobe Bridge shows you the same files that you see in Windows File Explorer. You can rename, move, and delete files in either application.

If you have questions about Adobe Bridge, ask on the Bridge forum:
