I upgraded to Lr4 last year and like the Develop panel. I use it for almost all my editing and if the clone stamp was better, I wouldn't need PSE except for layers work. Tried to organize my files in Library and gave up. All I ended up with was a mess. None of this concerns my problem.
I decided to make a photo book. Gathered the 80+ files for my book and went to the book panel. After 5 hours work yesterday I had my pc slowed down to a crawl and had created a passable (not what I was trying for) front cover. Maybe I'm to old to follow instructions. I want the cover to have two stacked pannos and the pages to have smaller files arranged to fit according to size and shape.
Is there a tutorial for a first time book builder with detailed instructions to get me where I want to go?
After yesterdays frustration, I deleted all files from Lr Library and my pc is back to operating normally. Now I'm ready to start fresh.
Any help appreciated John

Can you tell if the poblem files have something in common, for instance coming from the same camera or device or common dates? Corrupt files are rather rare from real cameras, but with smartphones, that is unfortunately common. There are two kinds of problems, either from the pixels themselves or from the metadata (exif) recorded by the camera. In the second case, non-standard metadata won't be recognized by Elements but may be ignored by other less advanced softwares like browsers. If that is the case, opening in those softwares and saving again may help you to recover the image. The only way to tell you what is wrong would be to upload one of such files to Dropbox or similar and share a link for other users to investigate. Sorry I'm late responding, your advice solved my problem. Not sure I understand why renaming it to the same type file cured the problem but it does. Thanks for taking the time to help.

Thanks for the good advice and help saving my files. The "save as" and renaming worked fine.

John , Some information would be helpful: are you using a PC or a MAC? If a PC, which version of Windows? Windows comes with a slick utility for easily making an image of a portion of the screen; it is named Snipping Tool. Try it once and you will see just how easy it is to use. I don't know why some jpeg file do not load. Can you view them on screen using PSE or some other media viewer? I am using a PC with Windows 10. Cannot view the files with PSE. Files were created pre 2003, some of my first digital photos. Can't remember what editing program I was using but I think it was Paint. At that time I was trying to figure out a processor but I've forgotten the details of what I did. I'm sure I did something wrong (and simple) that escapes me now. It has been 15-20 years and I'm old. The files can be opened in Paint as jpg files and edited today and saved to windows viewer but will not move to Lightroom or PSE. Tried to add one of the files.

I have a problem loading files into PSE 11. I have a folder on my external hard drive that contains 200+ files. Of these files, 5 cannot be loaded into Organizer. I get a message that the files are not supportable or not in the catalog. Not sure how to send a copy of the screen. Any ideas why these 5 of the 200 wont import to PSE? All are jpg files.

Great shot. I have one of these critters building a home under my side walk. Wish I could capture him and his family.

No "advantage" really just different opportunities. I like the non destruction part as you can "control Z" back to a prior move or all the way back to the original photo or just scroll to your original import of the photo and make a copy of it. Agree. I am using PSE less with landscape cause Lightroom 6 has a more options than my older version. I move to PSE for clone stamp work but other than that I pretty much stick with Lr.
