Albums in Photosop Elements 12

I am using Photoshop_Elements_12 and suddenly I can not see a new album when I create it. If I create it again, the sofware says that I already have an album by that name but I can't find it anywhere. In addition, I can no longer assign a photograph to and album. I have tried dragging the album name to the photograph and have tried dragging the photograph to the album name in the list of albums. This just strated happening. How can I fix this?

The list of my albumns either expands or contracts but the new album that I created does not appear in the album list.

Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.

Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today. It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10. I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

This question involves Adobe Album Starter and Elements 8

I have recently purchased Elements 8 and have started to transfer photos from Album Starter to Elements 8.
I was successful with some but there are a great many left with the little red icon in the middle bottom of them.
I am unable to do anything with them: copy, print, duplicate or anything. The message reads that it is not able to connect.
How am I going to get my pictures released from Album Starter. This has been an on going problem with Adobe. Please, please help
me retrieve my photos otherwise I will have to discontinue use of Elements 8 and ask for a refund. These photos are important to
me. Erma Platter

Just as I suspected.
To maybe help clarify, your photos are not "in" Starter Edition", so there is no way to "get them out of there".
Think of it this way:
Imagine your photos are books in a library. The books themselves are actually located on the shelves in the library. But, there's a section of the library with the Index Cards. One index card for every book, with the index cards all nicely organized in drawers so you can find the book your looking for without wandering around the whole library. Each index card has a description of the book, a picture of the book, and most importantly, information as to where the book is stored on the shelves so you can go find it.
So, the books are not "in" the Index Card Drawers.
Now, imagine that after all the index cards had been created, someone goes around the library and moves the books. Maybe, even throws some of them away.
Then, you go to the Index Drawer, find the "book" you are looking for, see that it is located on shelf G54-102, walk over to shelf G54-102, but the book isn't there, because someone moved it without telling the person who maintains the Index Cards.
That book is Disconnected from the Index Card.
Now, let's bring that analogy back to Starter Edition (and Elements)
The Books are your photos
The Shelves are your Hard Disk
The Index Card Drawer is Starter Edition (or Elements)
The Index Cards are the presentation of your photos in Starter Edition (or Elements)
So, just as the Books are not in the Index Card Drawers, your Photos are not in Starter Edition.
What is "in" Starter Edition is simply information about your photo. A small thumbnail (which is what you see in Starter Edition) and most importantly, a reference to where on your hard drive the photo is actually stored.
When you try and do anything with your photo that requires the origional file, Starter Edition goes to fetch the origional file from your hard drive to work with it. If the file is no longer where Starter Edition thinks it is, then Starter Edition tells you it is Disconnected.
At this point you need to tell Starter Edition where the photo was moved to. That's what the Reconnect process is all about. In order to reconnect your photo, you need to know where it was moved. Hopefully, it was simply moved to a different folder, and not deleted.
This Disconnected situation is typically caused by folks using Windows to re-arrainge their hard drive folders and their pictures AFTER having "imported" them into Starter Edition.
If your photos were moved in Windows, you can tell Starter Edition where they were moved to using Reconnect.
If your photos were deleted in Windows, unfortionatalty, they are gone, unless they still happen to be in your Windows Trash.
So.... what to do?
I'd use Starter Edition (or Elements) to get the file name of one of the Disconnected files.
Then, I'd use Windows Search to search for that file name.
Hopefully Windows Search will find your photos, safely stored in some other spot on your hard drive.

You just need to sign in to same Adobe Revel account on both the devices - Elements Organizer on PC and Revel App on iPad. Revel app is available for free on MAS so you may download it from there.

Photoshop Album to Photoshop elements File size issue

I have used album v2 for a few years, and only import proxy files from off-line media (CD/DVD) to keep the backup file small which makes it easier to keep 2 computers on the same page..(15000 image files = 6GB) I make a backup to a portable drive monthly, and restore to 2nd pc.. etc
I have converted the catalogue into elements 9 succesfully, and it correctly points to the relevent discs if I need the full res files.
My question is.. Can I do this sort of import in Photoshop Elements 9? In album there was a check box for keeping the files off-line during import and to name the disc for reference , but I cant see this in elements... Perhaps I am missing something obvious..
Looking through the dialoge boxes, I wonder if you import the full res file, then move/copy to disc leaving behind the proxy...
I am on the trial, and dont want to buy if its not what I want..
Apologies if this topic is listed elsewhere.. I have looked, but cant find one..
Thanks for any pointers,

Can't select albums with photoshop elements 10 with iTunes 10.6

I first upgraded Itunesvto 10.6 and the downloaded the trial version of adobe photoshop elements 10, never had any previous photoshop versions. When I go into iTunes and go under the sync photos tab and select the photoshop elements for "sync from" I can't select albums, only all photos. I have only two "smart" albums in elements, but I figured they should be seen.
I tried a solution from another forum, but it did not work. It was:
1. Open catalogue in elements
2. Rename catalogue
3. Optimize renamed catalogue
4. Restart iTunes
This did not work.
I'd like to avoid manually updating the folders as I really only want to have the previous 3 or 6 months worth of photos on my iPad
Thanks.

I solved the mystery. It had to do with the file metadata in the Photoshop Elements catalog. When I moved the catalog (pictures) from my old machine to the new machine, the path (folder location) of the images changed. So, although the catalog had cached thumbnails of the photos to display in Photoshop Elements (which tricked me into thinking that the path to the images was correct), the paths were actually wrong. All I had to do was “reconnect” the missing images (a feature in Photoshop Elements which corrects missing/wrong paths to images) and now everything works correctly (sync in iTunes).

Mobil photos album in Photoshop Elements 12 show up in Revel albums with titles but are blank. No photos!

I am using Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer for Mac. I have moved several local albums to the mobil albums area in the left panel of the Org
anizer screen. I am signed in to Revel. The albums with titles show up in Revel, but they are empty. None of the photos show up. I can see the photos in the library section of Revel, but not in the album view. Also, when I try to share the albums with Album Web Share, the link that is generated takes me to the album webpage where I see a message "There are no photos or videos in this album".
Why are the albums coming up blank! What have I down wrong?? I can see the photos in the albums in the Photoshop Organizer window, but nothing in the Revel albums.

How do I upload my albums in Photoshop Elements 10 to Revel?

My computer was stolen a couple of years ago and I thought all of the photos on Elements 10 were just gone. Recently I found the purchaseof PS Elements 10
on amazon.com and was able to re-download the program to my new computer. I found some of my pictures had been moved to Adobe Revel. I am in the process of transferring all of my pictures from various CDs and jumpdrives into Elements 10. I have quite a library already. I would like to transfer my albums from Elements 10 to Revel to start sharing with my family, but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciated.

You can try catalog conversion for your pse5 catalog to pse8 catalog.
But vefore doing that, perform a reconnect for all missing files on your pse5 catalog. For this, click File >> Reconnect >> All Missing Files in PSE5 catalog. As one more step, repair and optimize the catalog using File >> Catalog >> highlight your catalog and use the repair and optimize buttons.
Now once done, launch PSE8 and click File >> Catalog >> Convert and select your pse5 catalog from those listed in there and get it converted to a PSE8 catalog.
This is the usual way we upgrade our previous version catalogs to newer ones so you shouldn't have an issue with it. Once this is done, you can import more media (new images which need to fix) right away into this PSE8 catalog.
Do let me know if you face any issue in doing so...

Convert Catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13

Hello Community!
I've searched for this question in Google, but I didn't find an answer that helped me.
The old computer from my client with Windows XP OS is getting replaced by a new one with Windows 7.
There was Adobe Photoshop Album on the old one which isn't supported anymore. My client had over 15'000 pictures on his old PC which I've already copied on the new computer. Now he wants his albums, tags and these things from Adobe Photoshop Album back, so I decided to install Photoshop Elements 13 because of the Elements Organizer tool.
Now I've seen answers in forums that sayed that all these informations are saved in the "My Albums.psa" Catalog file, which I've already found on the old computer and copied on the new one. Some people sayed it would work with the "convert" option in PSE, but this doesn't work for me, because PSE doesn't see the .psa file. So I tried to convert my .psa file with this Tool, but in the middle of the progress it says that it failed and that I should try to repair the file in PSE. I'm now stuck here, with several different solutions, and yet I don't know what to do now.
I've read something about the folder structure and that the pictures and folders have to be on the harddisk when trying to convert the .psa file. All pictures are on the new computer, but of course the folders aren't the same on the new OS.
It would be glad if I find a solution as soon as possible from someone in the community.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Finally I could solve the problem.
I tried to import the Backup.tly in Photoshop Elements, but without success. Even there an Error appeared. The conversion tool also still got this failure at a progress of 15% conversion... So I searched a reason for the failure in google and found this helpful article from Adobe. It says that you should look for the corrupt images in the log file. So did I, and I found the error causing picture on the old computer and deleted it. After that I opened Photoshop Album, clicked on "File > Reconnect all missing files" and deleted this picture from the catalog.
Now I didn't want to make the backup again, because the last nearly had 1h. So I decided to try it again by just copying the catalog.psa from the old computer to the new one and to convert it again with the conversion tool. The error came again, but at a progress of 22% So i had to do this a few times: Searching the corrupt image in the log file, deleting it on the old computer, deleting the missing file in Photoshop Album and converting it. And finally, it worked, no error after conversion! I let photoshop elements 13 open the new .pse13 file. Now, all tags and albums were back on Photoshop Elements. Eventually, I let the programm searching the new paths of all the images. It takes a time but it works great now. Thanks for your help, I would recommend the Adobe Community & support!

Converting tags from V1 Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements v4?

I was able to convert my pictures from V1 Photoshop Album as well as the captions, however the tags do not seem to be converted to Photoshop Elements v4. I was told that by using Photoshop Elements v4 the tags would come over. Anyone have suggestions?

Thank you so much it worked - the only thing that didn't transfer was the folder pics I'd chosen for the tags so that didn't take long to redo - many thanks - I'd never have found that. It would have been so much more obvious if it showed 'open' or 'select catalogue' rather than just the word 'catalogue' with no other options visible from the dropdown menu.

Importing Photos From Photoshop Album To Photoshop Elements 9

I recently transfered about 14,000 photos from Adobe Photoshop Album into a new computer with Photoshop Elements 9 installed. In Photoshop Album, I often edited my photos and saved the originals. However, only the edited version appeared on the organizer screen. With Photoshop Elements installed, a thumbnail appeared for each Album-edited photo on the organizer screen as a version set with tags and photo description in place but no image. In most cases clicking on the black right-pointed arrow brings up another imageless box (to the right of the previous thumbnail) that is identical to the first one, tags and all. In a few other cases, the edited image appears to the right with tags. The latter isn't too bad since I can delete the original imageless thumbnail from the organizer.
I have tried importing a couple of files of photos from the new hard drive into the organizer. I get the original which is tagged and the edited photos untagged. I want to be able to bring up my edited photos when I use certain keyword tags rather than the originals so don't have to hunt for them in the organizer. At the same time, I want to avoid having to retag several thousand edited photos. Can anyone help. Thanks for reading this message.

Hi Fred,
I don't recommend using this software for anything other than
cataloging. If you want to move your images you should consider
Photoshop Elements because it is meant to perform this activity. PSA SE
is just a little cataloging applet that would get really confused if you
even tried it. You would have to completely redo your catalog.
Cheers

Importing tags from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 5

I have had Photoshop Album 2.0.2 for several years and it currently holds the information of 13000+ tagged items. I have a detailed tagging system set up which I don't want to lose. I also have Photoshop Elements 5 and having just discovered that Photoshop Album is now discontinued I wanted to transfer my existing information into Elements.
I have spent some time trying varies options but cannot find the solution I want.
If I select a photo from file to import into Elements then the tagging information does not come with it.
If I export an image from Album to desktop and then import it into Elements no tags come with it.
If I email a photo from Album to myself then import that image it does come with the tags into Elements.
Obviously I can't email all 13000 images to myself to import them but can someone suggest how I can transfer this data - obviously the photos themselves don't need to move as both programmes only keep a link to the original location to the photos.
I'm not interested in using the online storage system but wonder if one solution might be to upload all my phots to that temporarily then reimport them to Elements.
Additionally is it possible to import my current tag structure rather than have imported tags all appearing under a 'imported tags' tag.
Any help grately appreciated.
Thanks
Gill

Thank you so much it worked - the only thing that didn't transfer was the folder pics I'd chosen for the tags so that didn't take long to redo - many thanks - I'd never have found that.

Drag and drop Picasa Album Into Premiere Elements 10

I tried to drag and drop videos from an album I made in Picasa into Premiere Elements. No dice. I tried to drag and drop files from windows explorer into Elements. No dice. I have 200 files from various folders all over my machine, assembled in a Picasa album, and I have no way of importing those files into Elements from what I can see. Anyone know how I can do this?
I even tried to be clever, grabbing the Picasa XML file that contains the full paths of each file and then creating a space delimited list (with Quotes around each path) and pasting it into the OPEN FILE dialog. But there seems to be a maximum string length. No dice.
Your help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Keith

Yes, the PREL (Project) file is XML, however it is structured for PrE to be able to read (and write) it. If PrE can read the Picasa XML (the structure makes sense to the program), then it just might work.
Unfortunately, I have never used Picasa, so have no idea of its Album files structures. I also cannot recall anyone mentioning working with it, and PrE, but maybe missed that/those thread(s).
Other than the general observation, offered above, I have no useful knowledge on what might, or might not work. However, as you experiment, please update this thread, as it might prove very helpful to others - and I get to learn something!!!!
Good luck,
Hunt
