Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 import ?

Cant find an option in LightRoom 2.1 to import Photoshop Elements 7 (*.psedb) catalogue files.
I've looked everywhere.. Surely Adobe supports this?

I can't comment for Capt. Cook. For myself, I actually wanted to upgrade from PSE3 (on my old computer) to LR2.1 on my new computer). I had read a number of postings about trouble with that migration, so I thought it might be less risky/painful to take the path:
PSE3 (old computer)
--> PSE7 (old computer)
--> PSE7 (new computer
--> LR2.1 (new computer).
In the end I went:
PSE3 (old computer)
---> LR2.1 (old computer)
---> LR2.1 (new computer)
So far, it looks like everything worked and using PSE7 was unnecessary as well as impossible.
Tom, as the Lightroom Product Manager, I have two questions for you. I'm sorry that they're off topic for this post, but I hope you can forgive me from asking a couple things I've been wondering about while I have your attention:
1). Why doesn't LR offer any form of face tagging like PSE?
2). When will LR lift the awful retriction about not being able to host a catalog on a network share?
On this last point, I understand that the use of sqlite creates some performance and data integrtiy challenges -- but, really -- being able to access my photos from only one computer in my house is so 20th century. A much better technical solution for the data integrity issue would be implementing a locking mechanism so that only one copy of LR could hold the catalog open at a time. All you'd have to do is check for the existance of the lrcat.lock file!
As to the performance issues, I think it would be WAY better if I could specify on each computer a top-level folder for storing all my preview files regardless of catalog. This would make access to the preview files fast since they'd be on a local disk and it would let me tell my backup software to ignore that top-level folder since none of those temp files need to be backed up. Of course, multiple users on different computers sharing a catalog would each have a copy of the preview files, but, who cares? The important things are:
- Allowing a catalog to be opened from different computers
- Providing fast performance by keeping preview files on a loca drive
- Making it easy to ignore the huge number of preview files when doing computer backups.
Anyway, Tom, just my $0.02. I really love LR and hope to love it even more if LR3 can fix these bugs.
P.S. The 2 monitor support in LR2 is way cool!
The lack of ability to have a catalog on a network share is really a bummer. If I could share a catalog file, I'd have Lightroom on all my home computers. But, I can't. The best I can do

  • Importing to Adobe photoshop Elements 9 from copier

    When I bought Elements 9 I was told I could import my photo's from my copier.  Don't see how to do this import.  I had Photoshop 5 and had no problems it was right there in import.

    In windows 7, navigate to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Optional Plug-ins\Import-Export
    Where you will find the Twain_32.8BA plugin.
    Right click on the plugin and choose copy, then navigate to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\en_US\Plug-ins\Import-Export
    and right click and choose paste.
    Then start pse9 and see if the scanner is under File>Import.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • Import catalogue from adobe photoshop elements

    How can I import a photo catalogue from adobe photoshop elements (9.0) into Aperture?
    Thanks for every hint,
    Penibel

    Yes, use File>Write tags and properties to file and Elements should pick up the metadata keywords this creates. However, if you have raw files or tiffs from an epson scanner, the metadata creation can be unreliable.

  • Importing .wmv files from adobe photoshop elements

    My mother-in-law created a slideshow with adobe photoshop elements 6.0 and I can get into into a .wmv file but can not import it to imovie. I saw another post about changing the code on the PC but can't seem to find a place to do that on the program. This is a one time thing and I don't want to pay for a conversion software that I will never use. Any ideas? I thought about just burning a DVD of the slideshow and then trying to import it that way, will that work?

    I saw another post about changing the code on the PC but can't seem to find a place to do that on the program
    In the slide show editor, Output>PDF would be your only other option, and you would lose music, transitions, etc. if you choose that.

  • How to import photos from iPhoto Library to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor?

    I can't use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit photos from iPhoto Library. If I choose File, Open, and then select 'iPhoto Library', error message is "could not complete your request because of a program error."

    You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
    Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.

  • In Aperture using the external photo editor Adobe photoshop elements 10 editor.  My photo will not come back to aperture unless the photo is saved on the desktop and then imported back to Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

    Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor as external editor in Aperture.  The issue is once i make the changes in Photoshop it request that I save (use tiff) and the photo is not update in Aperture.  What am I doing wrong?

    Marianne,
    how do you save? Photoshop Elements can save either versions or overwrite the original file, afaik.
    You need to set the save preferences, so that it will write to the original file and not write a version. Also the filename extension should be "tiff" and not the default "tif" (I think you did that already).

  • Import adobe photoshop elements catalog

    I have migrated from PC Windows to iMac. I am wanting to convert my catalog file containing all tags of all images & photos that I used to store on PC. I have used Adobe Photoshop Elements thusfar to build catalogs, but Adobe does not support this freeware any longer. Is there a way to convert the Adobe catalog file (*.psa) into iPhoto or other Mac supported picture manager?

    Bummer that it did not work as advertised. I think there are other threads on the same subject. Try search with words like Elements, keywords, tags, transfer, etc and see if you get anything useful. If you don't like searching just scan the lists back 6 months or so. Don't remember this being an issue in last 2 months. There is also the knowledgebase search, which I did not try.
    One other thought before you do the above. Go to Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails (Bridge) and make sure there is a checkmark for "Keywords" in Details - additional lines of Metadata to add.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 without Discs

    I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on amazon.com.  The product was shipped to me with installl discs.  The problem is that my Mac does not have a DVD drive.  Is there a way to install the product online using the serial numbers on the packaging?  Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated!

    Try http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page closely otherwise the download links will not work.
    Once you've successfully installed, backup the file. There's no guarantee it'll be there next time you need it.
    Alternatively, you can always purchase a cheap external DVD drive and connect it via USB to install software. That's what I sometimes do with my MacBook Air.

  • Edit images in Adobe Photoshop Elements

    I am helping a student who is running iPhoto on Maverick.  He wants to edit his images in Photoshop Elements.  We set his preferences to do this but when he selects an image and clicks on Edit, all he gets is the welcome page of Photoshop Elements.  The image doesn't open in Elements.  What could we be doing wrong?

    Previous versions would install a folder with the file you want, Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app, buried one layer down in another folder named Support Files.  That's the one you want to select from iPhoto.
    I don't know if the layout of the installed files is the same with the newest version. However, the following may be of help:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    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:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

  • Transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac.

    I want to transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac. My problem is I have lost my catalog and Windows XP.  I need help.
    I have installed the newest Mac version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE 12 Mac) and it seems to work fine but I have not been able to access my old (XP, PSE6) catalog file.
    I am working on a MacBook Air running OSX version 10.9.2.  I have been using Parallels Desktop 9 Switch-to-Mac-Edition™ to run Windows virtual machines.  I had been working for over a year running Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP virtual machine.  The XP operating system was updated to 2/28/14.
    When I installed Windows 8, the Parallels program initially offered me a choice of virtual machines, Window XP or Windows 8.  I could use the XP version to work with Photoshop Elements 6 as before and thought I could be leisurely about transferring my Photoshop operations to the Mac side.
    However, without my knowingly doing anything to dispose of Windows XP, I have “lost” Windows XP.  Perhaps it occurred when I updated to Windows 8.1.  At any rate, now I have access only to Windows 8.1. 
    To compound the problem the Time Machine backup program for the Mac was not backing up the XP virtual machine files as I had thought.   I have since corrected the settings but I do not have a copy of Windows XP nor of the Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog which I used in the past.
    Moreover, I do not have a workable Windows XP disk; the only one I could find is from Dell and it does not load on my MacBook Air.  I see Windows XP disks offered by Amazon for about $30 and have thought about buying a copy to help see if I could  accomplish the transfer of the catalog file to my Mac.  I would use XP only to accomplish this transfer.
    I am not completely confident that reinstalling Windows XP would actually enable me to do the transfer and I can foresee potential big problems. Therefore, before taking that step I thought that I would check with you to see if there is a way to find the catalog file and perhaps to modify it so that I could work in the Mac Environment.
    I have used Elements to improve and organize over a thousand travel and family photos taken with a pocket size digital camera.  Being a nonprofessional, I have edited mainly by cropping and using Quick Fix but have many hours invested.  Yes,  I still have the originals and probably could have redone much of that work with the time I have invested in trying to find the missing XP and catalog.
    I have found two large HDS files (Windows XP.hdd and Windows XP (2).hdd) that were created 7/15/12.  I suspect they may be important but am not sure what they are.   I read that HDS files are commonly Windows media digital rights management files, DRMs.   HDS files may also be used by hierarchical data systems.  Do the names suggest anything about Photoshop?
    Can you help me find the catalog and transfer it for use with the Mac Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?
