Adobe Elements 9 importing

I do not get the ADVANCE button when importing from a camers as does my friend. How do I get this option to allow me to select photos to import pleae?

Hi John
Close Elements and go to the Windows Control Panel. Then change screen resolution.
Note this may affect the appearance of other applications; so you may wish to change back to the original setting when not importing photos into Elements.

Adobe Elements 11 Organizer and Importing images from camera.

I changed Adobe Elements version (from 10 to 11) and Brand New all-in-one Dell XPS computer that comes with Windows 8 as OS (From XP SP3) ... Now my import in Adobe Organzer gets stuck. Adobe Elements sees the camera, and compares the files on my camera to the photos in Organizer and knows how may are duplicates. I then select all the photos it finds as Non-Duplicates and tell it what directory to import into and select (Finish/Import) and it just sits there. I can change anything on that screen for options, but it really is locked up. I have to use Task Manager to end the task so that I can get back into Adobe Organizer. Maybe there is some kind of incompatibility with Windows 8 I am not aware of?

As you said "I am using this method as a bandaid, but this method will constantly copy all files (including old photos still on card) to a new folder. This means that I have the same photo being copied from my cameras memory to multiple locations. Not the best method (lots of clutter). "
This is not so. Importing photos using Watched Folders doesn't copy your photos to any other location.
Please empty your card and add 1-2 images to it. Now launch Photodownloader.exe from the location : C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer
Post doing this, launch Organizer. Let's see if the import happens.
Thanks

Why can I import images from my scanner in Adobe Elements 11 organizer but not in photo editor?

Why can I import images from my scanner in Adobe Elements 11 in the organizer but not in the photo editor? I have Windows 8 64 bit.

You need to install TWAIN to scan into the editor:

When importing photographs from Photos into Adobe Elements does Elements make a separate copy of the photograph?

I use Adobe Elements Organizer, and don't want to use Photos except to transfer photos from my iPad and iPhone to my MAC. Then my plan is to delete them. But I need to understand where the photographs are stored on my MAC, to avoid having multiple copies. With the previous iPhoto app you could never really identify the location of the files--and it seemed that Adobe Elements was making a copy in a separate directory on import to Elements. Now with the new Photos app, I don't know what is happening.

I use Adobe Elements Organizer, and don't want to use Photos except to transfer photos from my iPad and iPhone to my MAC
Then you might want to just use image capture (in your applications folder) to transfer the photos instead - that would simply your workflow
And as to where the photos are - same as before - in the Photos (or iPhoto - or Aperture) library - and yes if you import to Photos and then in some undisclosed way add the photos to PSE organizer you have two copies - one in PSE and one in Photos

How do I find duplicates in Adobe Elements 8?

Like many others, I have tons of photos on my computer - many duplicates. My primary concern at this point, however, results from the fact that a cousin and I have just scanned over 1500 ancestral photos and documents, newspaper clippings, etc. from many albums we've just inherited. She numbered the photos she scanned, I named the ones I scanned. Now we find that there were many duplicates of photos between the two of us, and we would like to find those to reduce the huge number of files.
Does Adobe Elements easily locate duplicate images so those can be deleted? How about if they have different file names? Pleeeeeze tell me we can do this.
Also, does Adobe Element 8 batch re-name files, in case we want to do that in the future with these?
I'm looking at finding an easy and inexpensive (free? ) course for Adobe 8 as I haven't really used it that much yet. Some of the photos are 100+ years-old and will need some editing.
Thanks so much.

Hi, Granny (I thought you were great in The Beverly Hillbillies)
Don't try File>>Process Multiple Files to rename if you have already imported the photos into the PSE Organizer.
There is a FAQ on how to find suspected duplicates in PSE8 Organizer. http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Find_and_delete I haven't tried this so I can't say how well it works.

Looking for some guidance on how to splice 2 vidoes together in Adobe Elements 13.

Looking for some guidance on how to splice 2 vidoes together in Adobe Elements 13.

ScottWarnerBC
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
What do you mean by splice 2 videos together?
a. put them side by side on the Timeline and export them to one file saved to the computer hard drive or burned to disc
or
b. something like the following even before import into any Premiere Elements project
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import
If it is "a", then we need to know the properties of those 2 files so that the project settings can be set accordingly.
What is your intended export? Based on the properties of the source media, we can then decide on export settings
to produce a file with properties as close as possible to the source (if that is what you want).
We will be watching for further information.
Thanks.

IPhoto With Adobe Elements Or CS4

I'm trying to use iPhoto with Adobe Elements (and/or CS4) as my default editor.
I have the files in RAW / NEF format and I click to edit in external editor.
My goal is to save the changes I've made back into iPhoto (overwriting my old version) without saving it as an external file and reimporting it in.
I read on an IPhoto site this;
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work.
When I save the file, it saves a JPEG version in the iPhoto directory, but it doesn't show up when I go back to iPhoto. I'm also wondering why I can't save it back as a NEF file (shouldn't I do that since it's a RAW image to start)?
What's the proper way to work with iPhoto and Photoshop?
I know there are purists that seem to push to use Bridge, but i've grown to like iPhoto's features, tagging, etc. How can I do this?
Thanks..

This might be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Upgrading from Adobe Elements 6 to 8

I recently updated to iPhoto 9 and have ordered Adobe Elements 8.
iPhoto 9 still works with Elements 6 as my external editor.
Do I have to do anything special before installing Adobe Elements 8 or will iPhoto still know I want Adobe Elements as my external editor.
I hope this makes sense.

You don't have to do anything special before installing PSE 8 but there are some subtle changes to preferences when using it with iPhoto.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.

Adobe Elements 11 Organizer

In Apr 2013 I downloaded Adobe Elements Organizer. I can't get it to work. I paid $109.49 for it and never could use it. Did I download the wrong thing? And what can I do about it?

Helgataifun wrote:
Nowhere in my files do I have a file that is just called Adobe Elements 11.
The reason for that is because there is no such application. I'll repeat that - "there is no product called Adobe Elements 11"
You could have bought:
Photoshop Elements 11 - which contains Photoshop Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer
or
Premiere Elements 11 - which contains Premiere Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer
or
Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 11 bundle - which contains Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer.
Check your online order details and tell us which it was you bought (DON'T post any serial numbers here though).
From your description of what happens when you clicked on the Video / Photo Editor options you currently have installed Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer.
Your actual problem is nothing to do with the application installations, but the fact that the file you imported into the Organizer is no longer in the location it was in when you imported it.
This could be because you moved it somewhere else using your OS file system, deleted it, or it was on a memory card, USB thumbdrive, or removable hard drive that is either no longer connected, or now has a different drive letter than when it was originally connected.
In the Organizer select Find> All Missing Files and let the Organizer search your computer for them (that could take a while). If it finds them let it reconnect them for you. You should then be able to edit them by right-clicking the thumbnail and selecting "Edit with Photoshop Elements Editor".
Possibly one other misconception - you may be thinking that if you open the Editor all your photos are visible there for editing. That is not how it works - to edit a file you have to open it either from the Organizer (as described above) or in the editor with the File> Open dialog.
Hope this helps to explain things a little better. Try and find your files to edit and come back to us if you still have difficulties.
Cheers,
Neale

Lightroom & Adobe Elements Metadata

Hi, I have catalogued over 20,000 photos using Adobe Elements. I have written extensive descriptions in the Notes field Information>General>Notes. I have now started to use Lightroom but the Notes field in Elements does not show up anywhere in the Lightroom metadata. Is there anything I can do? Thank you

The Notes field in Elements will not transfer directly to Lightroom.
What you can do (and I'm sorry this is somewhat vague, but it has been over 5 years since I went through this myself) is to write the Notes to the photo files (in Elements, select all photos and then File->Write Tag and Properties Info... do this overnight so all 20,000 of your photos now have the Notes written to them); then use something like Exiftool to copy the Notes to some metadata field that Lightroom does import (such as caption or any other field in Lightroom), then import the photos into Lightroom, and your notes will be in Lightroom.

Adobe Elements 11 and Camcorder Canon XF 105 in NTSC

I have Adobe Elements 11 and Camcorder Canon XF 105 in NTSC, I can not load the image sequences to Elements 11, what can I do?

Thank You Bill
My camcorder is PAL but NTSC sytem
What are the full details of those Image Sequences?
Each image sequence the camera is a folder, sequence AA0001, AA0002, etc.
In each folder there are 5 files AA0001.CIF, A0001.THM, AA0001,
AA000101 and AA00001.SIF
Have you copied the Image Sequences to your computer, or are they still on the camera's card?

Using Adobe Elements 12 on IMac

I recently switched from a PC to IMac. I have used Adobe Elements for 10+ years to organize my photos. When I got the new IMac they imported all of my photos into IPhoto. I tried to use IPhoto but decided I did not want to go back and try to organize all those old photos all over again. I decided to get Adobe Elements 12 and restored my catalog on my IMac. I am still importing photos to IPhoto from my IPad and IPhone and want to be able to import select photos from IPhoto into Elements Organizer (not all of the photos). I know you can select import>IPhoto but am afraid it will import all of those photos or will it recognize the photos as duplicates?? I have been afraid to try. I am going to have to find some expert to delete the duplicate photos I now have on my IMac since I downloaded the photos initially and them imported the Elements catalog. Also is there anyway to have photos that automatically download to IPhoto to go into Elements instead? In my ideal world I would like to just use Elements. Thanks for any help.

If you really want to continue with this workflow, the way would be to select the photos in iphoto and export them, put them where you want to keep them, and use "from files and folders". You're correct that "from iphoto" will duplicate the entire iphoto library.

IPhoto as Library and Adobe Elements Organizer as download client

I wanted to use Adobe Elements 9 Organizer as the download client as I can actually see image files saved and grouped by folders and iPhoto as library and creative authoring.
Will using iPhoto to create library from Pictures Folder (those saved by Elements Organizer) duplicate the photos that are already in that folder? I kind think that iPhoto will copy those photos into its own. I worry about duplicating the JPEG files in my Pictures Folder.
Thanks.

I'm with Larry when he says to pick one horse and ride it. This can get quite confusing very quickly.
To answer your specific question:
Will using iPhoto to create library from Pictures Folder (those saved by Elements Organizer) duplicate the photos that are already in that folder
By default, yes, but you can set iPhoto not to. But note: a: What Happens when you do - for instance, that various versions of the files will not be available except through iPhoto, which will confuse your proposed system, and b: The various caveats to running a Referenced Library.
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
*An Alternative*
Set Elements as an External Editor in iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

Migration from Adobe Elements (Win XP) to Aperture 2

I am moving from a Windows XP machine with Adobe Elements 4 to an iMac and Aperture 2.1. I need to move thousands (6000 ??) of images to Aperture 2.1 and hopefully keep my metadata (keywords, tags and ratings) in the process. Both machines are connected to a LAN and I also have a network drive which I use as a backup device and shared storage. The majority of the files are JPEG (95%) with a few Canon RAW images in the mix.
Is there a recommended method of migrating Adobe Elements 4.0 files to Aperture 2.1?

I, too, would like to migrate from Photoshop Elements 4.0 on Windoze XP to Aperture 2.0 on OS X. And I'm hoping there's a way to migrate all 601,012 of my tags to Aperture instead of having to redo them all as Aperture keywords manually.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or perhaps there's a utility to write Elements' tags as EXIF/IPTC prior to moving the files over and importing them into Aperture?
