Backing up catalog in elements 9 to Revel

Will the back up, synchronization feature in elements 9 default to Revel?

Elements 9 had an interface with the now closed photoshop.com storage cloud. Elements 11 is the first version that will interface with Revel. It can upload and download to Revel.

  • How to back up from Photoshop Elements 8 to Revel

    My photos were backed up from PSE 8 to the Elements backup on photoshop.com.  Now they have been automatically moved to Revel.  How do I back up more photos from PSE 8 to Revel?  When I try to do a backup from PSE 8 it connects to the old photoshop.com backup.

    It sounds like you want to get more of your files onto Revel but are not sure how to since you can not save from Elements to Photoshop.com anymore and since Elements 8 does not communicate with Revel.   What you can do now it upload your photos to Revel directly from your Mac or PC. If you have a Mac, you can download the Revel app and upload from your Mac. If you have a PC, you can upload via a web browser at adoberevel.com. If you upgrade to Elements 11, you will have the ability to upload to Revel from Elements if you choose (it is not quite the same as the sync, but allows upload to or download from Revel) See the link below for more details.  I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further issues.

  • Problem with backing up catalog in Elements Organizer 12 - help please

    I am trying to do a full backup of my catalog in Organizer 12 (this is the first time have tried backup) and it is coming up with 0 bytes of data and gets error message 'Error encountered while writing files'.   I have 1000+ files that I have imported to the organizer (with many 1000's to go), and I have used the Organizer to move photos/video around -- so I would think they are in the catalog. (I was trying to put the backup on the C drive -- is that causing any problem).
    Elements12 is the first installation on this computer (using Windows 8.1). I have used previous versions on another computer (v3) and was able to handle everything on DVD's. 
    Also, is there any way to backup just the catalog (location of files, tags, metadata, comments, stars, and thumbnail etc), and not the full files?  I will have over a terabyte for sure.  Otherwise I will have to get another external hard drive to backup the catalog to. But I already backup all the photo/video files to an external hard drive.
    I want to get all ironed out before I started extensive organizing and tagging, etc.  I MUST be able to get a usable backup catalogue before I can spend the time I plan.
    Thanks for any help;-)

    The first stage of the backup process tells you what is the size needed for the backup: how much space do you need ?
    (I was trying to put the backup on the C drive -- is that causing any problem).
    It's not recommended for safety and speed reasons, but that's not a reason in itself for your problem. The general rule is that you must store the backup on a separate folder; you must have enough free space (twice the size of the above calculation is recommended).
    Also, is there any way to backup just the catalog (location of files, tags, metadata, comments, stars, and thumbnail etc), and not the full files?  I will have over a terabyte for sure.
    Yes, simply look for the locataion of your catalog in the Help menu, System Information, and copy the whole folder somewhere. Simply look at the total size of that folder.
    I will have over a terabyte for sure. 
    Otherwise I will have to get another external hard drive to backup the catalog to. But I already backup all the photo/video files to an external hard drive.
    If you already have a backup from an external software, be sure to have also a copy of your catalog, as mentionned above. But restoring to another computer or drive won't be easy and you'll have to 'reconnect' all your files. That's why the integrated backup system is highly recommended. I'd recomment using another external drive for that purpose.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Backing up Catalog

    When I go into the Organizer, hit File Back Up Catalog to CD/DVD or Hard Drive my stsyem goes into a loop. How can i fix that?

    You mean your catalog folder's size is 17.9GB? How many image/video/audio/project files are there in your catalog?
    Can you please check if some files in your catalog are locked by some other application or are read-only?? If yes, they will not be picked up for backup and hence the hang.
    Please turn off all background processes like people recognition, auto analysis and visual search indexing from Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis. Close Organizer and kill the following exes if running, from the Task Manager-
    elementsautoanalyzer.exe
    photoshopserver.exe
    dynamiclinkmanger.exe
    adobephotoshopfileagent.exe
    any sync related exe
    Now relaunch Organizer and try taking backup.
    Thanks

  • Backing Up Catalogs

    When i attempt to back up my catalog to an external hard drive, I get to 64% backed up and then elements becomes unresponsive. This happens each and every time I attempt a backup. I am running windows 7 and photoshop elements 11. Please Help.

    Hello Dominic,
    I understand that it is difficult to determine which forum to post in since there are so many. This particular forum (sharing and storage) was created to help those transitioning from Photoshop.com to Adobe Revel. I am moving your post to the correct forum so that it can get proper attention.

  • 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...
    Thanks

  • I can't locate my catalog in Elements 8.0 to convert to 10.0

    I've watched the tutorial to convert my catalog but I don't have anything that remotely resembles the Organizer on my screen.  When I go to File, there is no catalog.  I upgraded to Elements 10.0 and also use Lightroom but chose to maintain Elements to do things that Lightroom can't like layers.  I don't want all the organization that I've done on my old photos to disappear and don't want to import my Lightroom catalog into Elements.  What am I doing wrong?  Where would the Elements catalog file reside on my drive and what would the file extension be?  I did a search on Catalog and came up empty.  I'm using Mac with Lion OS.

    Thanks for trying.  I was on a Chat with someone from the Adobe team and I got no help whatsoever.  Basically his response was that I needed to reimport all my phoios.  That means I lose all my keywording and editng.  What's the point?  Ok, I'm just ranting.  Really, thanks for all efforts!
    Did you see my remark about Mac PSE8 having Bridge and not Organizer ? Since nobody corrected me, I am confident that you can't find a catalog, which is only an Organizer feature. As far as I know, Bridge does not store your keywords, only thumbnails. So your keywords must have been saved within your media files themselves. That means that if you re-import those files in an Organizer catalog, you'll get them back. The advice to reimport is a sound one.
    Just note that with the Organizer, it is a good idea to use the 'Write metadata to files' feature in the file menu, that is an additional way to backup your tagging work and it makes your tagging available to non Adobe softwares.

  • Can't upgrade catalog from Elements 8 -thinks photos are on backup drive...

    I've just bought LR3 (and upgraded to latest 3.2 release), and now I want to import all my photos from my Elements 5 collection (just over 10,000 photos - mostly RAW). All the photos are actually stored on a network share from my Windows Home Server machine, all accessible as \\home-server\photos\. Elements 5 has no problems with accessing them this way, and I can also access them fine from Lightroom, but I obviously want to retain all my keywording.
    As there doesn't appear to be any way to upgrade a PSE5 catalog to LR3, I followed a recommendation I found on this forum (I think), and have downloaded a trial of PSE8. I have successfully upgraded a copy of the PSE5 catalog to PSE8 format, and then view them all in PSE8, so step one is a success. When I launched LR3, it then gave me a new option to upgrade an Elements catalog - this was a step forward. So, I took the option to upgrade the PSE8 catalog to LR, but after attempting it I see a window that says:
    "Lightroom has successfully upgraded one Photoshop Elements catalog photo, but was unable to upgrade 10729 additional photos because the photos were moved to inaccessible Photoshop Elements backup drives. If you wish to manage the Photoshop Elements backup photos in Lightroom, please use Lightroom to import images from the following Photoshop Elements backup discs."
    The photos are most definitely not on "backup drives". I've never backed up photos from Elements (my backups are done separately from my Home Server). Lightroom can see the relevant shares, as I've imported a few photos directly onto that share from a card reader, and have also imported some photos on there in a "leave in place", but (as they are RAWs) I don't get any keywording this way.
    I'd be most grateful for any suggestions, especially as I won't be able to do anything in PSE8 when my trial runs out....

    Thanks for that - that certainly agrees with my findings so far.
    Do I take it you've had this confirmed by someone from Adobe then? Is it an intended limitation, or just an acknowledged bug?
    I really hope it isn't an intended limitation, as it would mean that this high cost professional-targeted app (LR3) is not capable of something that the consumer level one (PSE8) does with ease. Surely it isn't that unusual to store your photos on a network drive.....
    If this isn't likely to be fixed soon I guess I'll have to :
    Backup (network drive based) photos and catalog
    Use PSE8 to move the whole directory tree to internal hard drive
    Upgrade PSE8 catalog in LR3
    Use LR3 to move the whole directory tree back to the network drive
    Not ideal, but it should get the job done...
    Yes, confirmed by Adobe.  It's a design limitation *of the PSE upgrader*.  You can use LR3 to store images on a network drive, you just can't store the catalog there.  I don't expect this to be fixed soon, so I'd go with the workaround if I were you.
    I'm not storing my catalog on the network drive though, just my photos. Even with the catalog on an internal drive, LR3 still fails to upgrade any photos that are on a network drive.
    I have though now spoken to a helpdesk chap at Adobe, and he has confirmed that Lightroom is not able to upgrade photos on a network drive. Seems like a really poor show to me, but I don't suppose I can do much about it...

  • How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11? [was:transfering catalogs]

    How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11?

    It depends...
    If you are still on the same computer and OS, the Organizer in PSE11 (or PSE12) will be able to convert the old catalog to its own format, while keeping the old catalog unchanged.
    If you are changing computer, drive or OS, the best method is via a full backup and restore:

  • How do I create a catalog in elements organizer?

    How do I create a catalog in elements organizer.  I keep getting the error message Catalog could not be opened, an internal programming error has occurred.

    Which operating system are you running on?
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
    Try Holding down the shift key while to start the organizer - that should bring up the Catalog Manager.
    Click on the New button (top right)
    Give it a name and click ok
    If it still crashes, you may need to re-install the software.

  • I just found out about the switch from Elements to Adobe Revel. HELP

    I do not want to spend any money  on something I rarely use. I also do not want to grant "rights" to any person or corporation for my family pictures.
    Will I need to delete my account?.

    Hi. There is not a switch from Elements. The switch is from Photoshop.com to Revel. Elements will work as it always did with the exception of communicating with Photoshop.com sharing and storage since that service is being discontinued.
    In additon, Revel is free as long as you don't want to upload more than 50 files a month.
    Check out these FAQ's and try Revel. After that, if you do not want your account, we can delete it.

  • I am getting duplicates in Elements 12 from revel.

    I am getting duplicates in elements 12 that revel has downloadid when syncing. Sometimes they are exact duplicates and sometimes they are exact except for a 3 hr time difference. I have hundreds of duplicates. When cleaning thes up I also deleted the duplicates from the hard drive. Bad move because they were not duplicated in the hard drive files. Now I have lost some really important photos because this buggy program is not working properly. Why is revel duplicating my element photos?

    Hi,
    Please let us know if the link shared by Pattie helped you. If it did not, please let me know. We would need to take a look at the issue happening on your machine and extract the logs to know where is the issue. For that, we would need a connect session with you which will be an online meeting where we can see it happening on your machine.
    Also I would suggest you to apply 12.1 update to see if that helps.
