Photoshop Elements 12 Editor is missing the Effects Panel

When I go to open the Effects there is nothing.  Then when I go to load the Effects there's nothing there as well.  Any idea how to fix this?

    I could not find either of those in my Adobe files.  I even did a search, and nothing. 


    jennym,

    The ProgramData files are hidden by default.

    Most likely the content database needs to be reset.

    Go to

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\12.0

    and delete the

    ThumbDatabase.db3

    then go to

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\12.0\Locale\en_US

    and delete the

    MediaDatabase.db3

    Start the pse 12 editor and wait for the content/effects database to rebuild, which can take about 5 to 10 minutes.


    Hallo, R. Kelly,

    danke für das Hilfe-Angebot. Deine Anleitung war exakt; ich habe sie angewendet. Das war einfach mit Deiner guten Anleitung.

    Ergebnis: Mein Fehler ist nicht beseitigt; es werden beim “Teilen” von Fotos (im PSE-Organizer) die eMails an den Empfänger übermittelt mit “Anhang”, aber der “Anhang” ist eine leere Datei (Null Bytes).

    Bitte um Hilfe und danke dafür!

    Hello, R. Kelly,

    Thanks for the offer of help. Your instructions were exactly; I've applied it. This was easy with your good guidance.

    Result: My error is not eliminated; delivered at the "parts" of photos (in the PSE Organizer) with "Annex" eMails to the recipient, but the 'Annex' is an empty file (zero bytes).

    Please help and thank you for it!

    Heinz Jungfer
