PSE 2025 organizer folder icons under photos

In PSE 2022 after I imported photos and assigned them to a folder, a green icon appeared under each photo. This is no longer happening in PSE 2025. Is there an option to make this happen? It made it much easier to see which photos were assigned when importing a batch of unrelated images. Is this just a change in PSE 2025? I'd prefer it the way it used to be.

Bill, even in Elements 2022, the album and tag icons will disappear at a certain zoom level.  I believe the names of the tag/album icons only appear in single image view. 

 

 

But I agree that the new (lack of) color scheme is problematic when looking to see whether an image has been tagged.  I'm sure Adobe did not make the change to annoy us users or even to cut costs.  Changing the UI requires a lot of time and effort for a program as complex as PSE.

As you can see from my screenshot, Album icons still exist in Elements 2025. 

 

When you upgraded from PSE 2022 to 2025, did you convert your old catalog or did you create a new one?

Albums cannot be transferred between catalogs (although a catalog's album hierarchy can be transferred). So, if you did not convert your PSE 2022 catalog, any files that you had placed in an Album will not appear in an album in your new catalog.

Let's give it another go here. I see your screenshots. You have a person and an album icon at the lower right under the photos. In my situation, when i'm viewing sorted by import batch, neither icon shows UNLESS I double clik and enlarge each individual photo, in which case they do. And again, when sorted in the import batch option, in my previous version 2022, an icon would appear regardless of image size. The reason this is problematic is that if I import 50 images that need to be assigned to 6 albums, after I assign some of them, it's difficult to see at a glance how many more await being assigned. Simply put, it was easier and more user-friendly in the previous version. And the second "gripe" I have is that the albums and folders, when listed down the left side of the screens are double-spaced and the icons lack the previous color; in short it looks 1950-ish, like a rough draft, or Adobe went all retro. I've been assuming this was a glitch in the installation, but I did convert the old file; now I'm starting to think this was just intentional by Adobe-maybe just a cost cutting move or something. When I raised the issue with their tech support, I sent them several screenshot, the fellow took a long time, then said he had to escalate it upwards, and that someone more senior would get back to me in a couple days. When that communication arrived, it simply said my case was closed. No mention of any resolution, just closed. The arrogance was striking. Not your problem, I'm just venting. Bill S.

No, what I am saying is that NO icon is showing under the photo. I'm not saying they are in black and white. That was a different question referring to the list of albums listed down the left side of the screen; those names used to have a colored icon next to them, now it is black and white. It's like Adobe went all retro in the design.

I assume you are talking about the Albums icon.  Unfortunately, all color has been removed from the icons.  You may find it easier to see the current Album icon under the Dark Mode rather than the Light mode.  The change can be made under the Edit>Preferences>General tab.
