Import a 2nd Photoshop Elements Catalog into Lightroom 2.1?

Okay Lightroom Gurus ...
On my old computer (Windows XP), I had several Photoshop Elements 5 catalogs, one of which was my main catalog, and the others were photos I hardly ever used. I imported the main catalog into Lightroom 2 just fine and have been running with it ever since.
Then, my old computer crapped out, I bought a new Windows Vista 64 computer, installed Lightroom 2.1, transferred the Lightroom catalog and continued along just fine.
But now, on my new computer, I want to import one of the other Photoshop Elements 5 catalogs (which still exists and still runs in PSE5 on the Vista 64 computer), but the command in Lightroom to do the import seems to have disappeared! I can't find it! Where did it go and how can I get it back? Is this a Vista 64 or Lightroom 2.1 issue (or is it me)?

Roy, I am 99% certain that importing PSE 7 catalog to LR 2 is not possible at this time. The release cycles of the products did not coincide for that to happen. However you can import from PSE 6 I believe.
I feel sure that this will be addressed soon........... but don't know when.

Import Elements catalog into Lightroom

Hi everybody,
I used PSE on my notebook for a couple of years now. As i bougth a new pc recently I want to upgrade to Photoshop CC / Lightroom. So here is my question:
Is it possible to import my elements catalog into Lightroom including my tags?
I still have got my copy of Elements 11 installed on my notebook, I´ve got a trial copy of PSE 13 on my new pc and already imported my catalog. I also installed Lightroom 5.6 on the pc.
I already looked on the internet but I only found one video which shows the solution I need but on Lightroom 3 and the function used in the video isn´t avalible in 5.6 any more.
If you need any more information please feel free to ask.

Import multiple Photoshop Elements catalogs

Hello folks,
I just imported one Photoshop Elements catalog from PSE6.0 into LR4 using "File:Update PSE catalog ...". That worked well.
As I'm using multiple PSE catalogs I then wanted to import the next one into LR4.
So I switched to the 2nd catalog in PSE to make it the current catalog in PSE and tried to follow the same procedure in LR4.
Alas, the menu entry "File:Update PSE catalog ..." in LR4 is now grayed out, so that I can't import the 2nd PSE catalog.
That would make it pointless to move from PSE to LR4.
Can it be that LR4 assumes, having imported one PSE catalog is enough? If yes, is there any way to overcome that?
My platform: W'7 64bit, PSE6.0, LR4.0, installs in German language, PSE catalogs located in a user selected folder
Thanks a lot in advance,
OMB
EDIT: I finally found out how to overcome that limitation myself:
1. Close LR4
2. Open LR preferences file "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs" in a text editor
2.a You'd better make a backup copy of that file before playing with it
3. Locate the "Adobe_successfulUpgrades******" entry - in my case it started in line 5
4. Delete that entry; important: make sure to delete all lines of this entry: the ones ending on a backslash and the closing ",
5. Save and reopen LR4 -> the disabled menu entry is now available again

The CSH file simply stores a Custom Shape for Photoshop to re-use.
By its nature you can only have one active at any one time but you can view them all together in the drop-down from the Options Bar or in the Preset Manager.

How can I change Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 into English version?

It's strange for the second download shows Franch, how to change it to English version? Thanks.

Thanks for response. I purchase Photoshop Elements 10 from App store, the first install is ok-in English, but my computer reset for some problem, so I installed it again. But this time, it's not English version but the other that I cannot recognize. How can I do? I forgot to save the serial number, where can I check it?
Thanks for help.

The language is tied to the serial number. Did you purchase the software directly from Adobe?

How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

I never did it from Windows to Mac.
I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

How can I access a Photoshop Elements catalog on an external hard disc from both: Mac and Windows PC

How can the directories and path be named, that catalog can access the same picture files.

That means you should have both your files and your catalog on the external drive, and you plug in your external drive alternatively to one or the other computer.
Are your picture files already on the external drive ? If they are, you only need to copy the catalog folder to the external drive, as explained later,
otherwise, simply do a backup/restore to the external drive, with the choice to restore on custom location.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
(moving to the external drive is similar to moving to another computer)
Moving the catalog :
First locate where your catalog folder is situated : menu help / system info.
Copy the whole folder to the external drive.
In the copied catalog, double click the catalog.pse12db file, that will open the organizer and the new catalog. It will appear in the 'custom location' section in the catalog manager.
Backup and restore solution : restore on 'custom location', that is to a new master folder created on the external drive.
The first time you are using the catalog on either computer, you'll have to use the catalog manager (file / catalog...) to browse to the external drive location of the catalog. After that, the location will be remembered in each computer.

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.

I can't import .mov and .mp4 videos into Lightroom 5? Why?

I'm not able to import videos (iPhone) into Lightroom 5. I've tried .mov and .mp4. Is there a cause/fix for this?

I've no idea the cause, nor a proper fix.
But here is a possible interim solution:
'Import Any Videos' script (free, by me):
robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
It just re-encodes (or re-wraps) the video into a format that Lr likes, which you can do without the script if you have the tools and the know-how..

Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.6

Does any one know if it is possible to import star ratings from Photoshop Elements Organizer into Lightroom? I did some rating of images in Photoshop Elements Organizer then imported the images into my Lightroom 5.6 catalog. Unfortunately, the star rating didn't import. The keywords imported. I don't understand why the keywords imported but the star ratings didn't. Do I need to import the Organizer catalog into Lightroom to get the star ratings?

Usually that means that lightroom sent over the photo in 16 bits/channel and you want 8 bits/channel in order to use layers in photoshop elements.
After you open the image from lightroom into photoshop elements you can go Image>Mode and click on 8 bits/channel
or in the Lightroom Preferences (Edit)>External Editing set the Bit Depth to 8 bits/component

Possible to import Photoshop Elements 8 Catalog into Lightroom?

Is it possibel to import a catalog from Photoshop Elements 8 into the latest version of Lightroom? I've kind of outgrown some of Element's functionality and I'd like to take Lightroom for a spin. However, it would be useless if it won't import my complex set of albums, tags, etc.

Lightroom 2 cannot convert PSE8 catalogs. (Maybe Lightroom 3 will do so, but no one really knows...)
You can do a partial import. Using psedbtool, write your metadata to the photo files, then import the individual photos into Lightroom 2. You will lose collection membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

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.

Importing Photoshop Elements tags into iPhoto 09 keywords

I am looking for a method of importing my Photoshop Elements photos & videos with their tags into iPhoto as keywords. I've seen several posts on this topic but none quite work for my situation. I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation. I have the following...
* iPhoto 09
* PSE 5.0
* 10K+ photos with an average of 2-3 tags each
* want to import tags for video clips as well as for photos
Here's what I've tried...
* iPhoto did actually import a random few pictures with the tags (maybe 12 out of 10K)
* PSE DB Tool to write the tag data to the files. This requires PSE 6.0 or greater (i have 5.0). http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/
* PSE native tag writing. Doesn't write tags on video clips and is littered with bugs anyway.
* Other tag importing tool at http://www.cv2h.com/PSA2iPhoto/Welcome.html. Does not work with iPhoto 09.
Any ideas?

The IPTC metadata is for image files only. Video files can't have that metadata written to the file. Application can assign metadata to video files but they are kept in databases associated with the application and point to the video file.
Some DAM (digital asset management) applications can add keywords, etc. to video files but the data stays with the application.

How can I transfer my Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from my pc to my mac?

What is the best way to move a Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from a pc to a mac?

You do know the mac version of PSE has no Organizer?
You can use file>Write Tags and Properties to File(s) on your files in the organizer before sending them to your mac to write the tags into the file's metadata, which can be read by Bridge, iphoto, aperture, etc. on the mac. (It doesn't work for raw files and it doesn't always work, so do a couple of test files first.) You'll need to make tags for categories and albums, too, in order to be able to sort by those criteria again.
