So I'm trying auto-curate in PSE 2018. Per this video www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/features.html?trackingid=XFWLHLX5&mv=in-product#auto-curate, you "choose any subset in your catalog..."
I choose a photo, then shift-select about 8 photos down, select auto-curate, and get a message "autocuration can be applied to a maximum 20,000 photos"....click ok, and it does nothing...

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Roger

PS: you can always tell when, each year, my lovely wife gets me the new version of PSE for Christmas...because I come here and pester you folks with a few dozen questions!

I just wanted to take a moment and say thanks for all the help you guys provide.

Have you got more than 20,000 images in Organiser? I have had a little play and if you are in the Media tab, even though you select a certain number of images for it to Auto-curate, it actually searches all your images, not just the ones you have selected. You need to select an Event, Place, or Person which will have a smaller number of images, for it to work.

Thanks HappyScot, that is also what I found....I can't select some and let it auto-curate those, you must use a group predefined by Elements...I have over 70,000 photos, and thought it might be fun to see what PSE thought were "the best" out of a few hundred I've selected, but apparently it won't work that way

BTW, I selected, by person, 660 photos, I had it autocurate down to the 10 best, and well, the results were underwhelming at best. Not surwhat it's looking at, but it was fun to see what "it" thought

Thanks for the reply.

I too was underwhelmed at what it thought were my best images from a model shoot I did recently. Not a feature I will use a lot, if at all. I've still to find out if 2018 crashes less frequently than v15. Hopefully they will have put some thought and attention into that.
