Catalog sharing between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

Can the catalog be shared between Lightroom 2 and Photoshop Elements 10?

Lightroom and PSE cannot share catalogs (although the same image can be in both)
PSE catalogs can be upgraded to Lightroom catalogs, but then changes made in Lightroom are not reflected in PSE. You cannot go the other way, Lightroom catalogs cannot be converted to PSE catalogs.
Lastly, I strongly recommend that you use only a single "organizing" application. The idea of using two (or more) different "organizing" applications will lead to confusion and errors and lack of synchronization.

Colors are different between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

I have a new monitor and I have the SyderPro4 calbration software. My monitor is the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM. When calibrated with the Syder my colors are different when I go into different programs. The same photo looks different in Lightroom than it does in Photoshop Elements. When I export the picture from Lightroom to Elements the picture becomes very orange. I have already talked to Dell and to Datacolor about my issue and they both are telling me this shouldn't be happening. When I uninstall my calibration software my problem goes away, and the colors of the images stay consistant between the two programs. Does anybody have any advice to what maybe wrong?

I am having this problem too.
my site www.redsmartie.com looks fine on everyone elses computer but on mine the red background #660000 is not displaying right on the jpg images
see here http://homepage.mac.com/redsmartie/colourerror.png
I have rgb colour profiles managed by a Pantone Huey device and haven't previously noted a problem. This was added recently so I recreated the images which corrected things on my screen but made the red around the images too dark for everyone else.
The images were created in Photoshop so I changed the photoshop profile back to CinemaDisplay that it previously was on and now everyone else is ok but my screen shows the red around the images much to light.
I really need some help with this as its a disaster waiting to happen on work I do for other people, especially if I'm producing work that looks right on my setup but is wrong for everyone else!

How do you export to Elements? Directly from Lightroom? If so, what profile are you choosing? What resolution are you specifying? I normally use proPhoto RGB which is the profile that LR more or less uses internally and 330.

Link between lightroom and photoshop elements

Hello.
A few days ago I installed photoshop elements 6 on my Leopard 10.5.3 instance. I have also Lightroom 1.4.1 installed, but he/she doesn't seem to detect the elements installation. I can't do an edit in photoshop.
With which mechanism the Lightroom program detects if there is any photoshop installed?
Should I use the alternative editor path to call Elements 6? And if so, will I have the same functionality then?
Is the direct link only there for CSx?
In order to test in a "clean" environment, I have made a fresh installation of Leopard, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom on an external disk, but even then Lightroom doesn't detect Elements 6.
However, if I install Photoshop Elements 4, everything works fine.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Marc.
PS: this tech note doesn't help me - www.adobe.com/go/kb401629.

Kenny,
1) There are known problems of LR not recognizing Photoshop CS / PSE automatically as present. Uninstalling and reinsalling PSE might help.
If now successful, and if you're on a windows system, adding the following key to your registry might solve the problem:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop Elements 8.0\\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop Elements 8.0"
2) You can have as many external editors as you like. Go to Preferences/External Editing, setup the executable and format you want to pass to it, then do a "Save Current Settings as New Preset". This will establish an additonal external editor for LR.

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

Hi Palsaran,
As i understood, your requirement is to POST data from UI to backend.
The above code you given is not correct if you want to use model based implementation.
In UI5 you don't need to do an explicit Ajax call, for which we can use Models like OData, JSON etc.
For your JSON example, you can use like,
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
var oData = "YOUR JSON DATA";
oModel.setData(oData)
oModel.loadData(yourURL/Entityset,"POST");
For ref, you can use the below link

Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 12 transfer/sharing problem'

I'm new to Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12. I open a Lightroom image in Photoshop Elements 12 by using Photo-->Edit In--> PSE12. I make a change in PSE12, and then "save." I understand that I'm supposed to overwrite the default file name. But, when I go back to LR, my PSE changes are not saved. What am I doing wrong?

I noticed the same problem when I upgraded to elements 12 in december. Also using LR 5.3 on mac running 10.8.5. When using the save command in PSE usually the saved file was not visible in LR. I posted in the forum then without any positive responses. As I worked the problem myself I noticed that when saving from PSE if I used the "save as" command instead of the "save" command and then answered in the affirmative to overwrite the existing file the edits would save back to LR without fail. I have been using this technique for the last 6 weeks or so and haven't had any edits fail to return to LR. I have no idea why this would fix the problem as all the instructional material says not to use the save as command. I suspect it is a bug in PSE12 but because it's "only" elements no one at adobe is paying any attention. Anyway, try that and see if it solves your problem. It worked for me although I can't explain why.

How to install Lightroom and Photoshop Elements from my old pc to my new pc?

I have a new pc and want to install Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop Elements 12 from my old pc to the new one.

For LR here is a useful link:
http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/
There is also a video tutorial which covers moving a LR catalog to a new computer:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-migrate-lr-to-an other-computer/
For Elements you can simply install the application and then set up the Elements Editor for external editing in the LR Library prefs. I’m assuming you won’t be using Oranizer as well as LR. That can lead to confusion and broken links unless you are very disciplined.
If you do intend to use Organizer the method is backup and restore, starting with an Organizer backup on the old PC.

Organizer links between Premiere and Photoshop Elements 7.0

Has anyone experienced that Organizer in Premiere is using the data in the Organizer of Photoshop Elements? I loaded over 15,000 photos in PSE and now they are showing up in Premiere where I don't want them and it is really gumming it up. Very Slow and with memory issues. Called Adobe and after the tech researched it he said the two programs are linked and there wasn't anything I could do about that and suggested I not use the Organizer, just go straight to Edit and New Project. Anyone had problems from this lame Adobe programming?

I have a well maintained computer and I saw the same slugishness with the Organizer.
I always use a different catalog in PRE than I do in PSE.
You will need to create a new catalog in the PSE Organizer. Then when you open PRE, from the file menu you can choose to select a differnet catalog. Find the one you just created. PRE will need to restart and when it does you will have a blank organizer, which will get filed as you add media.

Im having an issue with my newly installed Lightroom and Photoshop Elements working together.

I want to edit Lightroom photos in PSE-13 (merge to pano) but it says that "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor could not be Launched." I see a lot of people have had this issue, but I don't have any reason to believe that there is one KNOWN solution. Even two photos won't merge in PSE-13. can you help?

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Lightroom forum.

Integration between Lightroom and Photoshop broken

It will almost inevitably turn out that I'm missing something glaringly obvious, but since upgrading to Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 2014, my photos are losing their LR adjustments when sent to PS. I'm no longer asked how I want the RAW files rendered, and resetting the warning dialogues in both applications has had no effect. I've been using PS and LR together for a couple of years now, and have never seen this problem.
Steve

Well, i have fixed it for now — just removed the 5.5 and reinstalled 5.4, which seems to be working fine with Photoshop CC 2014.
Waiting for a fix now is not so bad

Missing files in catalog shared between Windows and Mac

I switch between using Elements 12 on a Mac (Mountain Lion) and a Windows 7 machine while managing a common catalog. The catalog and media are stored on an external USB 3.0 disk drive attached to whichever machine I am using to work.
This setup works fine except that on computer #1, the Organizer “loses” media files computer #2 has worked with, and vice versa. The problem seems to be in the way Elements stores the media file location.
Example:
My external catalog and media drive is named “JS” and assigned drive letter G: on the Windows machine.
File “IMG_0310.JPG” is stored in directory “2007 08 18”.
On the Windows machine the location seen in the Elements Organizer Information panel is “G:\2007 08 18\”.
Using the Mac, Elements reports the file as missing, finds it, and changes the file location to “\Volumes\JS\2007 0818\”.
Returning to the Windows machine, the problem repeats itself and corrects the file location to use Windows-style path names.
This wouldn’t be so bad if Elements was faster reattaching missing files, but the search for the first few reconnects takes a very long time and the whole process grows longer the more work I did on the other machine. This is a major annoyance and time drain.
Elements documentation promotes the use of an external drive for sharing. Someone else must have run into this same problem. Is there a way to configure Elements to overcome the file location problem?
Thanks!
[edit]
I realize PSE 12 is new and many are still on PSE 11. Is anyone using PSE 11 experiencing this issue?

Thank you for the response!
Looking at volume_table there are indeed two entries for the external drive (rows 3 and 5):
The Windows entry on row 3 shows the correct volume serial number in decimal as assigned when the drive was formatted. The hex version is 7A85-0647. The Mac entry on row 5 shows a serial number that doesn't make sense from a Windows or Mac perspective.
This is interesting but I'm not sure what to do with this information. It may not be a bug. It would make sense from a development viewpoint to use the serial number to uniquely identify the drive and have separate entries for each OS tied together by that serial number, allowing the drive path to differ by OS. Although, in this case the serial numbers do not match. Maybe the Mac and Windows versions of PSE 12 are retrieving two different serial numbers and therefore do not see the drive as the being the same, which would be a bug.

Using Canon 6D raw files in photoshop and between lightroom and photoshop

I have photoshop CS6 and Lightroom5

Photoshop 7 is only compatible with Camera Raw 1.0.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
To open, Raw files from the Canon 6D you need Photoshop CS6, CC or CC 2014. Adobe no longer sells CS5 or earlier.
Or, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
Use that to convert all Raw 6D files to DNGs then try opening the DNGs in Photoshop 7.

Difference of Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

I'm using PSE5 since some years, starting with PSE2 already. On the first look LR seams to have more or less the same features as PSE, but better suited for professional users. What would be the arguments for changing from PSE to LR and is there a comparison available of this to products? Has someone experience migrating from PSE to

My oppinion, as a "former" PSE7 user:
The library in LR (organizer in PSE) offers much more functions like filtering, collections, smart collections, compare view, ...
The development workflow in LR is much more logical, by having all the different development tools in one panel, one after the other in the sequence in which one usually goes thru changing a picture
The way of non-destructive editing is a big advantage over changing and saving the image after change. One has to get used to this though, because it's a different concept
One big thing PSE does not have is the adjustment brush, I've been using Nik Viveza for that in PSE, which I rarely use anymore now.
All together, LR to me seems much more straight forward and logical to work with pictures than PSE. I've been using LR for 3 months now and I really love working with it, it's well worth the money. I rareley ever go back into PSE again, unless performing functions that LR does not have, like scene cleaner, Photomerge panorama etc.
I've invested quite some time watching LR videos to understand how to work with it.
