Adobe dng and Photoshop Elements Workflow Question

My camera isn't supported by the Camera Raw  for the PSE version that I have so I must convert the original raws into dngs using the DNG Converter. 
Since the converterr doesn't operate on a file but only on a folder basis, I find that a workflow involves converting all the raws in a folder first and that nearly doubles the storage required.  But in any one folder I might have only a few raws that I am actually interested in.  But I don't see that there is any way to be working in PSE come across a file (using the jpeg image) that I want to work with and then convert just that image.  This would be a better workflow and save a lot of space.
The alternative seems to involve running though all the folders, noting the image numbers and then moving all those raws to a new folder and convert it before I can sit down to serious work. 
Any suggestions on how to have a smoother process?
Thanks.

You're making it much more complicated than it has to be. If you make a shortcut for  the DNG converter on your windows desktop or for a mac, a desktop alias or put the converter in the Dock, you can just drop a single file on it. The converter will open and you can ignore the stuff in the window except for the destination for the converted file, and click Convert.

  • Adobe Premiere and Photoshop Elements deal question

    So last week I bought Adobe Premiere Elements and I love it but I just found out that there was a deal where you could buy Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop Elements for $149.   I really want Photoshop Elements but if I buy it individually I have to pay $99.  I was wondering is there a way to just add it on to the Premeiere Elements I just bought?   Or am I stuck having to pay the $99 for Photoshop elements?

  • Downloading Adobe Assistant and Photoshop Element 12

    (Sorry for my english, this is not my usual language).
    I am trying to install the free version of Photoshop Element 12, without success. When I try to dowload Adobe Assistant,as a first step,  it seems to work, but at the end, I receive a message of error: in French: "une erreur s'est produite" (There has been an error). When I go to Solution 5 proposed for this kind of message, it is question of administrator/user accounts. Is it the real solution to my problem? If so, what should I do from that point. Thank you. M.L.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Adobe Reader and Photoshop Elements 4.

    Whenever I use Adobe Reader, PE4 comes into play and displays Reader. How do I have Reader displayed in its own PDF format, and stop PE4 from opening. I use PE4 extensively for photography, but do not like using it for Adobe Reader. Thank you.

    Yes, that
    is what I mean. The PDF is opening in PS Elements.  I do not like having word documents opened in PS Elements.  I would like to stop PS Elements opening and for Adobe Reader to open in its own format. Is that clearer?  thanks for the response/

  • Iphoto and photoshop elements users question

    I elements installed so that it launches through iphoto when i have to edit a picture. I am familiar with elements from my prior windows machine (god forbid). Anyway, why does elements only show the frame on the mac? meaing the background is clear. I can see iphoto or the desktop or any other applications that is behind elements? Is there a preference i have not set?

    What you are describing is just the way programs are
    supposed to look on a mac. You can see your desktop
    because you're supposed to be able to see your
    desktop (except in the Elements quick fix window). If
    you're a switcher this is disconcerting at first, but
    you'll learn to like the way you can quickly access
    documents in any program. For instance, it's a snap
    to sample the color from a graphic on the web in
    Safari with PE for mac. In windows you can do it, but
    it takes a heap of window juggling to get there.
    THANKS

    It is not clear if your Premiere Elements 10 was a downloaded purchase from Adobe or from an authorized reseller.
    However, do you have a purchased serial number for the product?
    If you have the purchased serial number, you can download Premiere Elements 10 tryout files from the following web site
    and insert your purchased serial number in them during installation to make them your own.
    Photoshop Elements 10 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
    It is important to read and carry out carefully that web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.
    Just in case message....
    But there could be a complication with regard to files from any source.
    Adobe allows you to have the purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers.
    If your failed computer has Premiere Elements trapped on it representing 1 purchased serial number, you will be able to installed
    the purchased serial number on only one more computer. If you have the purchased activated serial number trapped on 2 failed
    computers, then you will not be able to use that purchased serial number on another computer until you deactivate at least one
    on one of the other two computers. In this case, it is only Adobe who might be able to help you. None of this may apply to you. I mention
    it as a just in case caution.
    Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarification.
    Thank you.

  • My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

    What exactly means "refuses"?
    This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
    “We've encountered the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
    Get Adobe Support Advisor”
    OR
    on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
    “Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
    When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed.  Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

  • Deleting Adobe sign in Photoshop Elements

    PSE 13 is requiring I sign in to Adobe every time I start the program.  This is really aggravating and an invasion of my privacy.  It is none of Adobe's business when I am using the program.

    I purchased a retail CD of PSE 13.  This was not a download. 
        I logged on to my Adobe ID account and PSE 13 is NOT LISTED in my list of programs.  However, when I attempted to register it (I couldn't remember if I had previously registered it) by entering the serial number I received message that it (PSE 13) was already registered!  There appears to be something wrong with the Adobe registration process and this might be why I keep getting the message to login every time I start PSE.  How can this be corrected?     
       Also, I noticed that your preceding email has my original Adobe login name - "D Salk".  However, when requested to login now, the login entry requires my email address and password.  This password is different than the one used with "D Salk".  I don't understand what is going on.  Over the years I have had to change my password several times because I kept getting messages that my "user name and password did not match".  It seemed like I needed different user name and password to login to different parts of the Adobe website, e.g., Adobe Support different from Adobe Forum.  I do not like the new format where my full name is associated with my account that is why I originally used D Salk.  In the current Adobe ID login process the, "My Account" option does not permit me to change my name.  Please advise if there is either some way to delete my full name or, if not, how to DELET ALL ADOBE ACCOUNTS.     
         The previous email I sent you showed that the Print Screen of the Login message was attached.  Maybe it did not transmit for some reason.  I am attaching it to this email again.  Check at the end of these emails.  That is where the PNG file is currently displayed on my monitor.

    Hi DSalk,
    1. The above information is fine about architecture.
    2. After downloading application when you install it on your PC then it ask for two options i.e. Run in trial and License this software. It allows you to run application for 30 days in trial mode then it ask to enter serial number. You can license PSE any time if you have serial number. When you enter serial number and register it then your application is serialized.  
    3. I think, snapshot you didn't attach.
    Thanks,
    Raushan

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

  • Premiere Elements 7.0 and Photoshop Elements 7.0

    I currently run Premiere Elements 4.0 and Photoshop Elements 3.0 on a Dell Pentium 4 Dimension 8300 with 3 gigs of Ram with Windows XP. I am considering upgrading to Premiere Elements 7.0 and Photoshop Elements 7.0. Will Premiere Elements 7.0 allow me to import my Premiere Elements 4.0 projects, or do I have to keep PE 4.0 on my computer? Also, will Photoshop Elements 7.0 import my Photoshop Elements 3.0 Collections (as created) or will I have to re-Tag my photos as well as organize them into Collections again? Thank you.

    David,
    >Also, will Photoshop Elements 7.0 import my Photoshop Elements 3.0 Collections (as created) or will I have to re-Tag my photos as well as organize them into Collections again?
    In general I think that your PSE 3 tags and collections will be carried forward when your catalog is upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 7. What were "Collections" in PSE 3 will become "Albums" in PSE 7.
    Now it is very important that in the PSE 3 Organizer BEFORE your catalog is upgraded, you do
    -- Reconnect All Missing Files
    -- Catalog Recover
    These commands are available from the File menu of the PSE 3 Organizer. They "clean up" your existing PSE 3 catalog and a clean catalog can avoid many potential problems during the upgrade process.
    You did not ask about any "Creations" in PSE 3 and I do not think the Creations (Slide Show or Photo Book is an example of a creation) will carry forward from PSE 3 to PSE 7. So it is good if the info that you do need is the PSE 3 Collection rather than a PSE 3 Creation.
    Here are some Adobe techdoc references about upgrade to PSE 7 Organizer
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404990
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404991
    and in general I would scan the list of top issues techdocs at
    http://www.adobe.com/support/photoshopelements/
    The 2 I suggested above are on that list.
    Be aware that the format and folder locations of the PSE catalog changed significantly between PSE 5 and PSE 6 (the 1st techdoc discuses this), so as you are migrating from PSE 3 to PSE 7 there will be some difference and how much you notice differences may depend on how deep you went in to PSE 3. The second techdoc, which discusses placing the PSE catalog in a non-standard folder location is one example of such a case. I say this not to scare you, but instead to make you aware of the potential for differences if there is initially a glitch in the upgrade process on your system.
    Also, I strongly recommend that you give the PSE upgrade part of your question broader exposure by posting it over on the Photoshop Elements forum in the Technical Issues subforum at
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbb4ab0/

  • I just downloaded and paid for Premiere elements but now want the combined Premiere and Photoshop elements. How do I do this?

    My headline says it all. I would like to turn my Premiere Elements order into the combined Premiere and Photoshop Elements download offer. I have already paid for Premiere Elements but would like to take advantage of the combined offer for only another $40 or so. How do I do this?
    I only downloaded and paid for the Premiere Elements package about two days ago.

    Did you purchase Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe Direct? If so, are you within 30 days of that purchase? If the answer to both of those questions is Yes and it appears to be, then you should explore
    Contact Adobe Chat clicking on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Premiere Elements
    Membership, Account, Payment
    Payments, Invoices, Orders
    Chat Panel
    If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Under the conditions mentioned at the beginning of this reply, I am speculating that Adobe should be able to give you your money back for the Premiere Elements 13, allowing you to purchase Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements which are sold together, but are still really standalone products. How Adobe opts to do that is at its discretion.
    Best wishes
