Elements 7 Question

I had been using Photoshop Elements 5 for a number of years and was given a chance to obtain Elements Version 7 for a very low cost, so I upgraded.

Now and then I do a lot of slide scanning and usually scan anywhere from 50 to 100 slides, then do a multiple file process to save them all into a folder.

As you know, when you do multiple scans without closing down the scanning process, that is, scan one right after another, the program numbers them automatically:

Untitled-1
Untitled-2
Untitled-3
etc

Then when they are saved, they all have those same names.

After I tweak each scan (have to reopen them all again) I save with a new unique name, usually 0001, 0002, 0003, etc.

I have been doing it this way for years - no problems.

Now - when I start using Elements 7 and scan, say, 20 slides, they come up Untitled-1 up to Untitled-20.

BUT - after I save all those and then start a fresh sequence, the first slide I scan is Untitled-21 and on up from there.

I can even close the program, reopen it and start a fresh scan sequence. Same thing - whatever the last Untitled Number was from the previous scan, this new scan starts with the next number.

I know on cameras there is a way to make the picture number recycle back to 1 after each card format. Is there some way to do this with Elements 7? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. Probably right in front of me, but I don't see it.

Thanks!!!
 
That's a new one for me.
If you close PS and reopen I would think it would restart at Untitled 1 again.

I don't know of any setting in PS that could change this.
Clearing the computer's temp files.
Photoshop's temp file should automatically delete when you close PS.

That's the interesting thing. Elements 5 doesn't even have to be shut down to restart the numbering process. I only have to close the scan window and when it is reopened it starts at 1, again.
 
With PS open find the PS Temp file, it should be in the root directory of whatever drive you set up for your scratch disk.
Close PS, did it get deleted?

Just curious.
