PS Elements 10 Interface w/Lightroom 3

MAC OS 10.7 Lion user. While in Lightroom 3 I attempt to send an image to PSE 10 for additional editing. PSE 10 opens, however the image is NOT shown. I have tried to ensure that preferences in both LR 3 and PSE 10 are properly set. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing PSE 10 and even deleting the plist file, but result is still the same. Surely this feature was tested before PSE 10 was released, therefore the problem must be on mr side. Any other ideas toward a solution?

The keystrokes are normally Cmd+E (first External Editor) or Cmd+Opt+E (second External Editor) or from the Lightroom Library you can highlight a photo and on the top menu clock Photo >>Edit In
I’m afraid I can’t really explain why the application (PSE10) is opening but without your image.
If PSE10 is your second external editor you could try again and click Edit >>Preferences in the Lightroom external editor tab. Then click the browse button. Navigate again to the PhotoshopElementsEditor application (it’s usually the blue file without the small arrow icon) and select it.
Good luck.
PS It’s not yet a known issue with OS 10.7 (Lion) but obviously that can’t be ruled out.

Will Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4 support conversation of RAW files from a Nikon D800?

I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 9 and must convert RAW files from my Nikon D800 to .dng files before processing using a added converted. I'm considering upgrading to either Elements 11 or Lightroom 4 but want to know if either of these programs will support the nikon D800 RAW files without having to go through this extra cumbersome step. Additionally, if I do go with Lightroom 4, will the transition be easy or difficult and what problems might I encounter?

Yes the D800 is fully supported in both applications.
You would certainly benefit in processing your 36mp raw files using Lightroom if you have a 64bit PC or Mac with additional memory (RAM). The Lightroom develop module is where you do all the editing and you get the benefit of the full CS6 raw engine in an intuitive interface.
If you regularly use the Elements Organizer you should understand Lightroom quite easily.
Why not download the free trial of LR4 and test for 30 days.

Elements 13 and Lightroom 4

What, if any, problems should I expect with compatibility of Elements 13 and Lightroom 4? (I have not previously used Lightroom. And I plan to upgrade from Elements 10 to Elements 13.) I will be using Apple's Yosemite. Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.
My tentative plan has been to do as you suggest in the second section of your reply — to use the Lightroom Library Module and Develop Module and then use other editors when I need more features than in the Develop Module.
My original post was prompted by concern that because Lightroom 4 is older than PSE13, there might be some problem in using PSE13 as an external editor in Lightroom 4.
Respectfully and with thanks,
Stu

Elements 9 and Lightroom 4

I am considering using Lightroom 4 in conjuction with my current elements 9. Some comment no problem - fully compatible while others
comment the way photos are loaded into elements 9 will not necessarily show all the edits made in lightroom 4. Also, if you use the 2012 system on your raw files they are not compatible with the ACR version in elements and the changes will look wrong. Is there value in these views.
Do I keep with elements 9 and get lightroom 3 or get elements 10 and lightroom 4. Any advice would be appreciated

I'm not sure about compatibility with Elements 9. But IF ACR isn't fully compatible with Lightroom 4 then you can have Lightroom render a TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments and then open that in Elements. It works seamlessly. Even if Lightroom and Elements 9 were fully compatible, once you make changes in Elements a TIF or PSD file has to be created anyway. So you can work with Lightroom 4 and be completely productive with it.

I have Elements 11 (and Lightroom). I just bot a SONY RX100-II camera.

I tried to load the photos shot in RAW, but nada. I need to know how to get the program I need so that I can use Elements 11 and Lightroom with this camera, shooitng in RAW. Am leaving for Cuba in 5 days.
[email protected]

If you update to the latest lightroom 5.2, that should open the Sony RX100-II files.
Unfortunatly pse11 can only use up to camera raw 7.4 and your files require camera raw 8.2
Photoshop elements 12 is able to update to camera raw 8.2 though.

I have a canon D70 camera and I can't download my raw files to elements 11 or lightroom 4

I have a canon D70 camera and I can't download my raw files to elements 11 or lightroom 4

If you don't use the DNG Converter to create DNGs from your raw files, then you'll need to purchase LR 5 to us LR with your camera that is newer than LR4; however, there is something you can do for PSE11:
ACR 8.3 will work with PSE11 to open 70D files, but there is no installer, so you have to be a little devious to get things to all work. You also need to be on a Windows 7 or 8 since ACR 8.3 supposedly doesn't work on Vista. I should also say that the process outlined below does work on my Windows 7 64-bit computer, but I also have PS-CS6 and PS-CC installed on it, so it is possible that ACR 8.3 is dependent on something that wouldn't exist on a computer with only PSE installed on it, but someone else will have to confirm that.
I was able to get 70D files to open in ACR 8.3 on PSE11 by doing the following:
Download the ACR 8.3 for Windows update for PS-CC via the direct download link on the Adobe Blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
Unzip this downloaded setup.zip to a folder somewhere.
Inside the files from that zip is a folder called payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-031213015928. Note that this is the folder without x64 in the path. PSE11 is a 32-bit program so we need the 32-bit version of the plug-in.
Inside that folder is another ZIP called Assets1_1.zip so unzip it somewhere.
Inside Assets1_1.zip there is a file called 1003. This is the largest file in that zip and is the plug-in you need.
Copy this 1003 file into the existing PSE11 camera raw plug-in folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats or for a 32-bit Windows OS, into: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats
Rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw.8bi_7 (in case something doesn't work and you need to rename it back, later).
Rename 1003 to Camera Raw.8bi
After these steps you have the ACR 8.3 plug-in installed in PSE11 but not the camera and lens profiles, so install those by downloading and installing the DNG Converter 8.3:

Elements Organizer and Lightroom Catalog

When using Lightroom 5 and Elements 12 how are the calalog and organizer synced? And how should files be saved.
In Lightroom I chose to edit a photo in Elements when I saved it and went back to Lightroom I could not locate it. It was saved as a .psd file.
When found it in Finder I could not Import it into Llightroom.
Larry

Perhaps you made the mistake of using Save As rather than Save. So you will have created a new file which Lightroom knows nothing about.
You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Cmd+S) not save as:
1) Cmd+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
2) Edit in Photoshop Elements; then Cmd+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Cmd+W to close in Photoshop Elements and update Lightroom thumbnail.

Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.6

Does any one know if it is possible to import star ratings from Photoshop Elements Organizer into Lightroom? I did some rating of images in Photoshop Elements Organizer then imported the images into my Lightroom 5.6 catalog. Unfortunately, the star rating didn't import. The keywords imported. I don't understand why the keywords imported but the star ratings didn't. Do I need to import the Organizer catalog into Lightroom to get the star ratings?

Usually that means that lightroom sent over the photo in 16 bits/channel and you want 8 bits/channel in order to use layers in photoshop elements.
After you open the image from lightroom into photoshop elements you can go Image>Mode and click on 8 bits/channel
or in the Lightroom Preferences (Edit)>External Editing set the Bit Depth to 8 bits/component

How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

I never did it from Windows to Mac.
I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert? What's the best way to migrate? (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

Photoshop Elements 12 to Lightroom 5

I wanted to import my tags from Photoshop Elements 12 to Lightroom 5. I read the manual and watched the video tutorial. Both mention that you need to hit "upgrade Elements Catalog" in Lightroom 5. However, I don't seem to have that option under "File". What happened?

I do have PSE12 installed but have not actually tried it, but I just did. When I click upgrade, it only lists the PSE 11 catalog in the subsequent dialog. Maybe this is something to do with Elements transitioning to 64 bit.
The non-support for PSE12 is the same thing that happens every version of Lightroom and PSE ... support for converting PSE catalogs into Lightroom lags behind the the latest version of PSE. It has nothing to do with 64 bit.
I think drach is best to write the photo info to files in PSE Organizer and then import the images.
Or maybe wait until Lightroom 5.3 is released, perhaps the support for converting PSE12 catalogs into Lightroom will be in there.
File >> Save Metadata to Files
This method does work for transferring metadata to Lightroom, but some items in the PSE catalog will NOT be transferred in this way: Albums, Version sets, Stacks and a few other things that I can't remember right now.

MacBook Pro Retina (2013) and Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

I have moved to a new MacBook Pro Retina (2013) from my old Windows 7 PC. As an amateur photographer which is better - Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

Lightroom is already optimized for the retina display and PSE12 looks superb on the Macbook pro R. You are never going to get a retina display much larger than 15 inches but once tried you would never wish to go back to other monitors. It’s not just photos; all Apple apps on the MBPr including web browsing are optimized.
Large monitors can be great if you are soft proofing images for print enlargements or for editing and rendering video where the extra real estate is useful. So it comes down to need. In general, images appear sharper on smaller displays. I upload most of my photos to my own website and Google Analytics tells me that a high proportion of my visitors are increasingly viewing on iPads, tablets and smartphones. For me that makes the MBPr ideal for my photo editing. It has far superior clarity compared with the excellent 27 inch Dell Ultra Sharp monitor on my desktop machine.
The only caveat is that nobody really knows the life of flash storage. Some say four years when writing continuously to the SSD drive and less once you start moving from unused space to overwriting. For that reason I always try to write to an external hard drive or SDXC card; reserving the SSD, as far as possible for running the applications.
I think we are getting a bit off-topic as the OP already has the MBPr and only needs to decide between PSE & LR or both.

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition? Any issue installing these products on a new PC when I already have it installed on another PC? I am getting a new PC to replace XP machine I already have.

Yes, Photoshop runs on all editions of Windows 7 as far as I know.
And the Photoshop EULA does give you the option to install and activate the software on a second machine. Once you no longer need the XP system, assuming it's still functional, just deactivate the Adobe software on it and you'll be able to have the same flexibility again in the future.
If ever you have a licensing agreement question, all the EULAs are online here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
A side note: Windows Home Premium may do all you need for now, but keep in mind there is a Windows Anytime Upgrade you can buy in the future that will allow you to move up to a higher edition of Windows 7 later if you should feel you need more features.
This page has some information on that, and also describes the edition differences pretty thoroughly. I especially like the nice table they've built:

Import Elements catalog into Lightroom

Hi everybody,
I used PSE on my notebook for a couple of years now. As i bougth a new pc recently I want to upgrade to Photoshop CC / Lightroom. So here is my question:
Is it possible to import my elements catalog into Lightroom including my tags?
I still have got my copy of Elements 11 installed on my notebook, I´ve got a trial copy of PSE 13 on my new pc and already imported my catalog. I also installed Lightroom 5.6 on the pc.
I already looked on the internet but I only found one video which shows the solution I need but on Lightroom 3 and the function used in the video isn´t avalible in 5.6 any more.
If you need any more information please feel free to ask.
Greatings from Germany
Sebastian

Roy, I am 99% certain that importing PSE 7 catalog to LR 2 is not possible at this time. The release cycles of the products did not coincide for that to happen. However you can import from PSE 6 I believe.
I feel sure that this will be addressed soon........... but don't know when.

I am having problems with Olympus .orf files one files cannot be read by Elements 10 and Lightroom 4. Both provide an error message saying that the file is not recognized. Any ideas? minzen

i am having problems with Olympus .orf which cannot be read by Elements 10 and Lightroom 4. Both provide an error message saying that the file is not recognized. Any ideas? minzen

That camera model is too new for your programs. Every camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include the info for each new model as it comes out. The workaround would be to download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your ORFs to DNGs that your version of Camera Raw can read.
