Transfering Catalogs fr PSE 4 Windows XP to PSE 10 Windows 7.

What is the easiest way to transfer Catalogs from PS Elements 4 on a Windows XP machine to PS Elements 10 on Windows 7 machine?
PSE 10 is loaded on new machine.  Catalogs are backed up on portable HD.  Photo files have also already been copied to new machine.
Do I need to install PS4 on the new machine as well before I move the Catalog filesw?

You'll get better answers on that in the PSE forum... I'm sure it involves some import& export mumbo-jumbo....

  • PSE 10 Catalog from old XP laptop to new Windows 7 laptop

    Hi,
    I have an old laptop with Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows XP. I am now changing to a new laptop with Windows 7 (64). Based on my understanding I should make to following steps:
    With old XP laptop: Create a full backup of the catalog to an external harddrive using PSE 10 Organizer's Backup Catalog -function.
    Install PSE 10 SW to the new Windows 7 laptop.
    Restore the backup from the external harddrive to new laptop using Restore Catalog -function.
    Deactivate PSE 10 from the old XP laptop.
    However, I am a bit puzzled with the step #3 and I thought I ask first before doing anything.
    In the old XP laptop I have all the pictures in the D:\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures -directory. In that directory I have different kind of sub-folders for my pictures.
    In the new Win 7 laptop I should have those in D:\userdata\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures -directory.
    As you can see there is a slight difference in those directory-paths. Due to that I assume I cannot use "Original Location" as a restore method. However, I want to keep those sub-folders which I have under My Pictures, so I cannot use "New Location" either. But if I use "New Location with the Restore Original Folder Structure" I guess I wll have something like D:\userdata\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures or...?
    So, just asking what is the proper way to proceed if I want to have same folder structure under My Pictures - folder, but use Windows 7 default path for My Pictures?

    I guess it is always good to ask, since immediately after posting this question I realized I should use "New Location with the Restore Original Folder Structure" and the new location is just D:\userdata\
    Of course, if you have any additional comments/instructions I should take into account, just let me know.

  • PSE 8 keeps crashing in Windows 7, any suggestions ?

    PSE 8 keeps crashing in Windows 7, any suggestions ?

    Hi,
    I would like to know whether organiser or editor crashes ?
    If its organiser then there is something related to Catalog.
    Try these steps :
    1. Goto this location : C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\  -- (program data is hidden folder by default , you will need to unhide it)
    2. Under this location you will find all the catalogs that were created by you
    3. Choose your default catalog.
    4. In that select and delete all the folders except Breezedata and file with extension .pse8db
    5. Relauch your organiser and then check if its stil crashing.
    Thanks,
    Baljeet

  • Need PSE 5 or 6 for Windows

    I am really hoping someone can help me here...I need a copy of PSE 5 or 6 for Windows.
    I am currently running Photoshop Starter Album 3.2 and just bought Lightroom 2.0. To get my catalog from the former to the latter, I need PSE 5 or 6. Lightroom apparently doesn't support a conversion from PSE 7. ACK. Do you know of anywhere online that still has a copy of these older versions? I'm on hold with Adobe customer support right now, but I thought I'd throw out a plea to the forums too.
    Thanks!

    If you live in the US, you can get Photoshop Elements 6 with the purchase of a Wacom tablet on all but the least expensive Bamboo model.
    Link to the cheapest model "Bamboo Fun"  that includes Photoshop Elements 6 with Americas selected as region:
    http://www.wacom.com/bambootablet/bamboofun.php
    It's listed under the tab at the bottom of the page that says "What's Inside".
    Note: If you are in Europe, Photoshop Elements isn't included. If from somewhere else, check  your region to see if it is included in the bundle.

  • Migrating from PSE for Windows 6 to PSE for Mac 6 including metadata

    Can't find anything in the knowledge base on this.
    I am giving up on Windows. Its just too messy and ugly. One of the final changes will be migrating from MS Windows Vista and PSE 6 to a brand new Mac, using LEopard 10.5.2 and PSE for Mac 6.
    I want to migrate my images from the Windows machine, as well as the metadata organizing information. Surely I am not the only one with this need. I know I can save the mages in a mutually readable file format, export, and have them on the Mac, but I have a great deal of metatdata and image organization in the Windows version of PSE 6.
    Please tell me how to migrate the entirety of PSE for Windows to my new Mac.
    Thanks.....

    Some related questions-- can Bridge CS3 search sub-folders? Could I filter for a Keyword at the top of a tree, and locate all files with that keyword in sub-folders?
    While exporting files from PSA2 on a PC I am using Share / Email to attach my existing keywords. Can they be drag-and-drop added to a Hierarchy in the Keywords panel? (Either from the Filter panel where they are automatically listed and counted, or from the "Other" location in the Keywords panel where they appear italicized?)
    I had deluded myself into believing that PSE6 for the Mac included Organizer. Would Lightroom be a logical option for organizing? Particularly if I want to catalog many images on CD without storing them on disk? Can it be purchased separately? What other options would you recommend?

  • I loaded actions into my PSE 10, then when I restarted my PC (windows 7) and PSE 10 I got a Runtime Error (Microsoft Visual C    Runtime Library)

    I loaded actions into my PSE 10, then when I restarted my PC (windows 7) and PSE 10 I got a Runtime Error (Microsoft Visual C    Runtime Library)

    Are these actions you put into the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Photo Creations\photo effects folder?
    If so, did you delete both the
    ThumbDatabase.db3  in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0
    and
    MediaDatabase.db3 in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us
    after installing the actions?
    Then let the pse 10 editor run for about 10 to 20 minutes to rebuild the effects database.

  • After updating to windows 8.1 PSE will not load

    After updating to windows 8.1 PSE will not load.  I have uninstalled and downloaded a PSE and installed several times with no success.

    sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it  keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
    i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem...   make any sense?  do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution?  i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

  • PSE 11 not running in Windows 8?

    Greetings,
    I installed PSE11 on Windows 8 machine and it ran fine once. Now it launches and I see it starting then dissapears. I think it is running in backround as i see it in task manager. I ran the compatability trouble shooter and used the recommended settings but problem persists. Also tried running as adminestrator and still same problem. The auto uploader runs fine as well but then I cant see organizer. I had the same issues with PSE10 but that ran fine on this same machine for a month. My problems started when i left PSE10 running and let the computer sleep, hybernate and eventually shut down. Ever since then PSE 10 and now PSE 11 wont run or runs in backround and I cant see them. I have unistalled and re-installed bioth to no avail. Do I need to do a PC recovery?

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.
    Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.

  • PSE 12 running slow in Windows 7?

          I followed the instructions exactly as in the article.I don’t think there is much scope for error as i did not encounter similarly named files and the described path took me exactly to the file in Program Files. I am certain I have never encountered similar problems with my laptop before. Even if I made a mistake, it would have been so easy to make that I would not recommend anyone else to try that!

  • Failed to convert Catalog (PS Album 2.0 to PSE 7.0)

    When attempting to convert My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2 to PSE 7, the following prompt is reported "The conversion operation failed. try repairing the catalog with the software that created it and retry conversion"
    I have attempted to repair/uninstall & reinstall PS Album but the problem still remains. From tips picked up from the other posts, I can confirm there are no missing files in the original catalog. I have also attempted without success to repair and optimise the catalog via File\catalog and remove all 'Creations' from the catalog.
    The pse-conversion file states "unable to process tag p:6 "Shared - Incoming", a=000b0004 fa=04 ia=0b parent=0 next=7 firstchild=0
    p:7 -> discarding top level history tag" (or words similar to) on several occasions. What does this mean/is it relevant?/how can I correct it? (see attached log conversion file)
    Failing to resolve the above problem will mean retagging over 4000 images - a propect I really wish to avoid!
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I was having problems with the conversion from PSA2 to PSE7, mainly with 2 things. First, I was gettings some "poison files" as suddenly one year of photos went from ca 4 GB to 13 GB in size.
    The second problem and my biggest problem was that I had burnt a couple of years to a dvd. In PSA2 these files were removed from my HDD, there were thumbnail files stored in a folder called /Proxies/Photos 2004-2006 and in the organiser these files showed up as low resolution thumbanils and with a gold disc symbol, showing that they were stored offline. If I double clicked on a picture the dvd disc was asked for.
    Upon upgrading to PSE7 everything was converted correctly except my offline files. In PSE7 there is a symbol showing that files is offline, but the picture is not there ie it is not connected. Following the advice in this thread I tried instead to first upgrade to PSE5, but the same problem occurs. Funny enough, the "posion files" does not seem to be there, 2008 is now 4 GB is size .
    My question is why does PSE not upgrade my offline pictures? How do remedy this? Should I reconnect the missing files to the Proxies folder or to the dvd that contains the files? If I choose either of these will that not restore the files on to my HDD or just the link?
    Another thing. Can any of the versions of PSE burn to DVD-DL or is it still only DVDR that is allowed?

  • PSE 9 freezes on my Windows 7 64-bit PC

    I just installed PSE 9 fresh from the box onto my new Window 7 64-bit PC, and in the organizer mode it freezes after a click or two.  Windows tells me PSE isn't responding, click to wait or to close program, and the screen goes snowy.  I uninstalled and re-insalled, same thing.  Can anyone help me out?  Also, I've not had any luck finding a link to chat technical support.  I paid $150 for PSE and Premier Elements, and I expected there would be live support...

    This is an update to my earlier post.
    My computer is only a few weeks old. Windows 7 Home Premium. 1 TB HD and 8GB RAM.
    I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 220 Video card with 1025 mb
    I saw post complaining of similar problems with PS C5. A video cade driver update was the fix.
    I downloaded the most recent driver from Nvidia's web site.
    The problems have been significently reduced. The organizer still gets a little jerky at times but the lockup is gone. The Task Manager no longer tells me that PE 9 in not running. Possibly a better video card in in my future.

  • PSE 12 support 64 bit Windows 8?

    Does PSE 12 support 64 bit Windows 8.  Note promo material trumpets support of 64 bit Mac but appears silent on Windows.

    Hi,
    The error 1935 usually means there is a conflict with something else that is running - you could try this.
    First off, restart your system.
    Then try stopping the windows update service. Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services (or use the search charm). Right click on Windows Updates and select Stop.
    Now disable any antivirus that you have running.
    Try the installation again.
    Turn back on the antivirus and start the windows update again.
    Good luck

  • Is PSE 9 Better Than PSE 8

    I have had problems with PSE 8 and Windows 7 HP with Windows Live Mail 2011  with image sharing by email attachment. If I upgrade to PSE 9 will my problems go away? I have just listened/seen an Adobe tutorial that makes sharing images by email attachment using PSE 9 easy. They did not comment on what OS was used but did say Windows Live Mail was ok.
    What is Adobe's refund policy?

    Generally PSE9 is said to support the following mail programs in addition to Outlook and the Adobe Mail Service:
    Windows XP- Outlook Express
    Windows Vista - Windows Mail
    Windows 7 - Windows Live Mail (not Windows Live Essentials 2011)
    Mac OS - Mail or Microsoft Entourage
    Adobe suggests uninstalling Live Mail 2011 and using the earlier version. However I would not recommend this backward step. The email problems started with PSE8 and unfortunately have not been corrected. Also the Adobe Mail Service has suffered big problems. Click on support and record a case.
