Deleted and reinstalled Photoshop elements 2020

Report · Aug 19, 2020

It runs real slow. Also, I can't figure out how to stop grids from appearing on new pictures I open.

Also, the Organizer wont load. It says " we have detected and abnormal exit. All I want to do is put a few pictures in there I do not want it to catalog all my photos.

Thanks

It runs real slow.

What does - the Editor or the Organizer? What OS are you using? If you have recently added many photos to the Organizer's catalog, the slowdown may be caused by Media Analysis. You can turn this off under Edit>Preferences>Media Analysis to see if it makes a difference.

Also, I can't figure out how to stop grids from appearing on new pictures I open.

If you are talking about the Editor, you can turn off the grid using the View menu (or Ctrl+' will toggle them on/off).

Also, the Organizer wont load. It says " we have detected and abnormal exit.

Normally, you are given the option to continue. If that doesn't work, hold down the Shift key when you are launching the Organizer and it will bring you to the Manage Catalogs dialog. Try selecting the catalog from there, or if necessary, repair and optimize the catalog.

All I want to do is put a few pictures in there I do not want it to catalog all my photos.

Not sure what you mean here. You can delete all Watched Folders under the File>Watch folders menu.

The Editor runs slow. I cannot open the Organizer to see it it runs slow. I am running Catalina. The progam was running pretty well for months. Then it started putting those grids on. And when I went to load picture in organizer it added about 25,000. I couldn't find a way to batch delete them so I deleted the program and started over.

I know how to turn them off, I don't want them there if the first place. It just recently started showing those grids.

Way to confusing. I just want the damn thing to open.

I can't get to that menu if it wont open. This program is a major time wasting pain in the ass. I am about ready to deleted it and go back to the 2017 version.
