Can I copy Brushes, Styles, etc., from Elements to PS CS6?

Hi again, everyone,
I was able to install CS6 without any problems. (link to previous thread)  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4692121#4692121 
The program's Associations did take over my photos, but I was able to change that, except that now the icons are different from what I'm used to.  So I have some new questions for you guys and gals....
1- Can I change the icons to what they used to be before the installation?  They take a long time to change to allow me to see my pic's icons. 
2- If so, can you tell me how?
I have tons and tons of really cool Brushes and Styles in my Elements 7 - I'd really like to be able to copy them over to CS6.
3- Can the Brushes and Styles be copied over to Photoshop?
4- If so, can you please show me how I can do that?
Thanks a bunch!  I really appreciate your kind assistance. 
Have a great weekend!

You should be able to load layer styles and brushes from pse 7 into cs6.
You can go to the brushes or layer styles flyout menus and use replace brushes or styles.
or copy the layer styles and brush presets to:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets
and then they should show in the relevent menus.

Hi R. Kelly,
Thanks for the detailed info, I love it when people show me how to do things and how they would look afterwards.  I think that's how I learn the best. 
Thanks for the links, I read through some of the info, but couldn't find what I was looking for...
I know there's a path that you have to follow to install Brushes in PS.  Since I just got my CS6 a few days ago, I just have no idea what that path looks like - is it the 1st one you showed above?  I guess that "Roaming" text sort of threw me off.  And that "Replace brushes" thingy scares me since I do not really want to replace any Brushes, I just want to upload some.
Anyway, I've been checking some things out on YouTube and most people say to drag and drop into CS6 and then the Brush just shows up.  I just prefer to have the correct info so that I just learn it once, from the right source.
Thanks again! Have a great weekend.

  • Copying photos to DVD from elements 10

    I know I probably just got burned by adobe, but how to I copy photos from elements to a DVD like in previous version of elements (8&9)? I AM NOT AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE "Premier", so if I lost functionality, I will be looking for a new application for photo editing and storing.
    Can this be done? Can you copy to DVD straight from elements 10?
    Thanks

    Not if you're trying to copy a slide show.  From the Help file:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS1B271B2F-E57F-4f80-86F1-B3CBC3CDE38F _WIN.html
      Slide shows are a fun way to share media files. With Elements Organizer 10, you can customize slide shows with music clips, clip art, text, and even voice narration. Images in PDF format do not display in slide shows.After you complete a slide show, you can choose several ways to share it. 
      You can save it as a PDF, convert it into a WMV file, and then burn it onto a VCD.
      You can also save the file locally to print using Acrobat.
      You can also burn it directly onto a high-quality DVD if Adobe® Premiere® Elements is also installed on your system.

  • Transferring saved workspaces, brushes, scripts, etc. from CS6 to CC on a PC using Windows 7

    This is what I came up with...
    Transfer saved workspaces, brushes, scripts, etc. from CS6 (Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop) to CC on a PC using Windows 7.
    Go to start menu < computer < (OS) C: drive < documents and settings* < user (your user name) < application data** < adobe < adobe illustrator (or adobe photoshop)***
    *To see the ‘documents and settings’ folder, I had to go to start menu < control panel < folder options –  select view tab – uncheck hide protected operating system files (recommended). The computer will prompt you to go ahead, say ‘yes’ then hit apply.
    ** There is another folder above ‘application data’ named ‘appdata’, this is not the correct folder.
    * & ** I could not access these folders no matter what user settings I selected or logged in as administrator. I did an internet search and found the following successful:
    If the the folder denies you access to share… right click on the folder < select properties < select the ‘security’ tab < click the ‘edit’ button < select any and all users named ‘everyone’ < select ‘remove’
    After I removed the ‘everyone’ users, I was able to successfully share the folder to my user and access.
    *** I did not have an ‘adobe indesign’ folder, scrolling down the list it was labeled just as ‘indesign’. So was ‘bridge’, ‘dreamweaver’, etc.
    INDESIGN: Below are my exact paths for my particular system:
    < adobe < Indesign (inside this folder I have three folders: Version 7.0, Version 8.0 and Version 9.0 – which correlates? to CS5, CS6 and CC.) < Version 8.0 < en_US < Workspaces (inside this folder I have two files of each workspace – for example named: ‘xyz.xml’ and ‘xyz_CurrentWorkspace.xml’, I don’t why there are two similarly named files??, so I copied both and pasted both (and it worked.)
    < copy the workspaces you want to bring into CC
    >Go back, to the Indesign folder and then to < Version 9.0 < en_US < Workspaces and paste the workspaces.
    I did the same for scripts: copied from the Version 8.0 folder to the Version 9.0 folder *Please note that, with updated versions, your scripts may not work…
    < Version 8.0 < en_US < scripts < scripts panel (copy scripts.)
    You can do the same for Greps, Glyphs, Find/Change, etc.
    I copied entire folders over from the en_US folders: ‘Indesign Shortcut Sets’ and ‘Glyph sets’
    PHOTOSHOP: Below are my exact paths for my particular system: * please note I also have a ‘photoshop’ folder in the ‘adobe’ folder, which did not have what I was looking for to carry over.
    < adobe < adobe photoshop CS6 < adobe photoshop CS6 settings – copy all files < go back to adobe < adobe photoshop CC < adobe photoshop CC settings – paste all files

    To turn off UAC, go to the Control Panel, then User Accounts.
    Under the header, "Make changes to your user account", there is an entry titled "Change User Account Control Settings".
    Pick it, and drag the slider all the way down to "Never Notify".

  • I can't copy iTunes media files from one external hard drive to another.

    Hi, I am running the latest iTunes and Mavericks software on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is stored on an external Seagate 2tb hard drive and it is almost full. I want to transfer the files to a WD Elements 3tb external hard drive and have made that new volume the destination folder for my iTunes library. However, even though I have enabled read/write on both volumes and made the iTunes media folders on both shared folders, I can't copy all the files from the Seagate drive to the WD drive. It comes up with an error message that says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)". I can transfer files from my MacBook hard drive to the new volume, but can't copy files from the old Seagate volume to my MacBook hard drive; it makes the "boing" sound that indicates it is copying but nothing transfers. Files that won't copy include all music files, some video files and all podcast files. Some transferred with no problem. Any ideas out there?

    Hi Limnos, thanks very much for your reply.
    both external drives came preformatted for Windows but I erased each and reformatted them for Mac before using them.
    i made the destination folder on the new WD drive the new iTunes folder using Advanced preferences in iTunes.
    my original iTunes folder on the first drive contained all my iTunes files, as that, also, was the destination folder that was linked via Advanced preferences.
    If I download new content now with the new drive attached, iTunes has no trouble finding where to place the files.
    in Preferences I have both boxes checked (copy files" and "organize") that deal with copying iTunes files.
    When  I first attempted to copy all iTunes files from one media folder to the other on the external drives, I just did a drag and drop of the whole iTunes media folder from one to the other while both were mounted on my desktop. It started copying immediately with no problems, but as it progressed it started skipping files, each time displaying the error message I reported earlier. that included my entire Music folder. When I open, for example, a season folder that contains files that would not copy, eg, Modern Family Season 5, the episodes that won't copy are there and visible but any attempt to drag and drop them into the correct folder on the new drive results in the error message. There is no pattern to it; it will choose some episodes from some seasons but not others, and no music at all.
    when I look at the "missing" files in  iTunes they have the small exclamation mark that indicates the file is missing, but when I locate it through iTunes it doesn't copy the file on the old external drive to the new one. It just plays it having found the file on the old drive.
    originally I had to make the iTunes folder on the old drive into a shared folder using the Get info window after either a software upgrade or an OS upgrade (I can't remember which, it was several years ago). For some reason the upgrade changed the preferences of that folder to a Read Only folder and after researching the problem found the only way to keep using the drive was to make the folder a shared one. I can't remember why and I apologise for that but it was a long time ago.; I can tell you that at the time it was necessary.
    thanks again for your time; I have a good working knowledge of iTunes and Macs in general so I truly believe I have done everything according to how it should be done,, but clearly I've done something wrong!

  • Can I copy and past iPhoto from one computer to another?

    I just bought a used Mac Mini to give to my in-laws. I used the original boot disks to reinstall the software. I then upgraded to Leopard. When all was said and done, everything was wonderful except that iPhoto was nowhere to be found. Going back to the original install disks in Tiger I tried to install via the 'bundled software' but got a 'failed install' because disk 2 apparently is faulty.
    Can I copy my iPhoto application from my iMac Intel Core 2 to the MacMini? I have tried several other strategies involving install disks, etc. It's iPhoto 6.06. I'm stymied.

    Thanks, Terence. I thought probably that was the case. I guess my only choice is to go back to the beginning with the Tiger install and see if it comes out right.

  • We need to copy planning..etc from simulation version 002 to version 000,

    Hi experts,
    Our simulation Version is 002 and Active Version is 000
    We need to copy planning..etc  from version 002 to version 000, how to do. Explain me  elaborate
    Regards,
    moon

    Hi Moon,
                   There are two things in Copy Version Management.
    1) Copy the master and transaction data from active to simulation version.
    Transaction - /SAPAPO/VERCOP in this you can not copy from Simulation to Active.
    2) Merge the Planning Versions.
    Transaction - /SAPAPO/VERMER in which you can copy the planning area keyfigures from simulation version to Active Version.

  • How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

    I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
    How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
    Is it possible to merge the libraries?
    Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
    Thanks for your help!

    1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
    2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    3. Yes.

    You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner.  It will clone your HD to the external.  The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.
