Can I convert my Photoshop Elements 4 catalog to PSE11?

Would like to purchase PSE 11, however I currently use PSE4.  If I buy the new PSE 11 will my photo files transfer at time of new download?

As a matter of fact, if you do install PSE11 in the same computer as PSE4, you can convert the PSE4 catalog to the new version, and the new catalog will recognize your media files. See the limitations of the conversion for some types of creations in the above link.
The other way suggested by Preran (that is to do a full backup from PSE4 and a restore from PSE11) is a good way ; it is  necessary if you are migrating to another computer or OS.

  • I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

    I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert?  What's the best way to migrate?  (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

    Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
    Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
    If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

  • How can I transfer my photoshop elements information (catalog, etc.) from Windows to Mac

    I have been using photoshop elements for year. I'm currently using version 11 on Windows 7. I'm considering switching to a Mac and getting version 12 there. But before I do that, I want to make sure that there is a way to convert or transfer the catalog and the pictures and videos from Windows to Mac. Any help is appreciated.

    Sure. Basically you just do a full backup in windows using the organizer backup command and then restore it to the mac.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 catalog conversion solution

    The Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer failed to convert my Photoshop Elements 6 catalog until I ran the PSE11 Organizer under the built-in Windows 7 Administrator account. I did not find this solution mentioned during my efforts to solve this installation problem. It was not a suggestion I found in Adobe's help files dealing with catalog conversion. So here is a summary for others with this problem.
    I installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my Dell XPS 9000 running Windows 7 Pro x64. I retained my PSE6 installation. I have nearly 20,000 cataloged images in my PSE6 catalog.
    Problems began when the PSE11 Organizer failed to convert my PSE6 catalog to the new PSE11 format. The process seemed to run to completion, but then an error message said the conversion had failed. The suggestion was to repair and optimize the PSE6 catalog using PSE6, then try converting again. Conversion to PSE11 still failed. I spent a few hours searching for suggestions and solutions and tried each of them without success.
    I then found one suggestion that the problem might involve permissions. The suggestion was to right click PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe in its installation folder (which on my computer is at at D:\Photo\Elements 11 Organizer) and run Organizer as an administrator. This also failed. However it did get me thinking about permissions.
    Even though my personal account on my computer is an administrator account, I logged off my personal account and logged on to my computer's built-in Administrator account that comes with Windows 7. I don't think I've used that account for any other purpose since I set up this computer 3 years ago.
    I then ran the PSE11 Elements Organizer using the Administrator account and the catalog conversion ran to completion and all seemed correct.
    However, when I went to the folder where I kept my PSE6 catalog (G:\0-PSElementsCatalog\FamilyPhotos-6), the new PSE11 catalog was not there. Instead, PSE11 had put the converted catalog in the (absolutely awful) default location at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\FamilyPhotos-6). Using the PSE11 Organizer, I renamed the catalog to G:\0-PSElementsCatalog\FamilyPhotos-11(ConvertedFrom6). I then used PSE11 Organizer to move the converted catalog to my preferred location on my G: drive.
    All is now well.
    Why did I have to use the built-in Administrator account to do the catalog conversion? What permissions does it have that my personal account (also an Administrator) does not have? Some years ago I encountered a similar problem that involved permissions on a registry key, not permissions on files or folders. Perhaps someone at Adobe can enlighten us.

    One thing puzzles me:

    I don't understand why running the exe from the installation folder would have worked.
    I would have simply tried to run that exe from its real location :
    Sorry, I can't help you more about permissions...

  • How can I upgrade my Photoshop Element to the most recent changes. Thank you!

    How can I upgrade my Photoshop Element to the most recent changes. Thank you!

    Hi,
    If you mean "How do you upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 from an earlier version" then you need to buy the new version. There is an upgrade option but if you shop around then you can sometimes buy the full product cheaper. They are both the same product once you have installed them.
    If you install Photoshop Elements 13 on the same system as your old version the you can convert your existing catalog to the new format.
    Note that Photoshop Elements 13 will not work on older operating systems. The 30 day trial version can be downloaded from here
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    If you are asking about updating the camera raw in your current version then we need to know which version you want to update. Normally, you can go to the Help menu and select Updates.
    Note that each version has a limit on the version of camera raw that it can use - again we need to know which version you currently have.

    Yes, you can download Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. The only thing that you need to do is go to this LINK http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-dir ect-download-links.html and download it. You need to follow the ADOBE download instructions.

  • Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?

    Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?  Also any other files besides the pictures that I should back up?

    Very important : your catalog does not contain your pictures. They are where you have imported them in your computer. If they are all under a master folder like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', you should set your backup software to backup those folders.
    The catalog itself is mainly a database keeping all the information about your pictures : location, keywords, ratings, albums...
    It's a folder containing the dababase and several other components. You find its location looking in the help section, system info.
    The integrated backup / restore process in Elements saves both your media files and the catalog.

  • Can no longer run Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on iMac

    I have a mid-2011 iMac i7 quad processor 27" iMac and after Yosemite can no longer use Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on my iMac. I keep getting the following msg even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

    PSE 12 requires you to have an Internet Connection at least once when you are installing it so that you can register the product and activate it.  After this process is complete, you don't need Internet connection unless you want to update it on a periodic basis (say once every 6 weeks).  This is only for the updates; So if you are not bothered with updates then you don't need Internet Connection.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

    How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

    Sorry, not possible in PSE itself. You'd need to put your photo into the web creation software you use. If you are using an older version of PSE some versions created web albums/galleries which included an index.html page, but that's as much as PSE does. There's nothing like that in PSE 12 since Adobe wants you to use Revel for photo sharing now.

    PSE and PRE have different serial numbers. If you bought both programs you should have two separate serial numbers.
