Combining PSE 7,8,10

How do I combine PSE 7,8 & 10 without losing orginal images and duplicating images?

Your catalog is only a database--it doesn't make copies (unless you are using the From iPhoto command on a mac). So if you mean you're worried because the same image is in the catalogs for all three versions, it's still only one image, just referenced in three different places.
If not that, can you explain in a bit more detail what you want to do?

  • Unable to load PSE 10 disks 2 and 3 of 3

    I purchased  PSE 3 from Costco and successfully installed the first disc. I was unable to install disc 2 and therefore, disc 3. When I tried to install the second disc, I received this message: : "The installation package is not supported by the processor type. Contact your product vendor." I emailed Costco with all of the information and got this reply: "Please contact the technical support for that software listed in your literature as there may be a setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted. This software should run on the computer with the specifications listed."
    I have XP Professional with service pack 3  Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.2 GHz 2.49 GB RAM
    I also have PSE 9 and never had any problems with it. Can anyone help with this?

    If disk 1 installed properly, you're done. Disk 3 is the mac version. In my combined PSE/PRE 5 disc set, disc 2 is for 64 bit operating systems.

  • Pse-7: photos in 4 different catalogs--can I combine all photos into 1-catalog?

    In pse-7: I made the mistake of creating 4 catalogs, when I should have created albums. I can't figure out how to move the photos to one catalog. Is it possible at all ? OR do I start from scratch and have one catalog and go to all the folders on my hard drive for the files?
    thanks

    Yes, it worked! Thanks. I exported files from each of the different catalogs one-by-one to a new folder on HD, then went into the catalog with the most photos got photos from the folder. Thanks again, tenkfeet(refers to altitude I live at_ 10000 feet in Colorado)

  • My PSE-12 when using the Text Tool mangles the text "Merry Christmas from the Franklins" and it becomes "Merry Christmas fomm te Frnklinss" - my wife's PC running PSE-11 prints it okay. There are other character combinations that show the same problem. Wh

    I checked all of the controls in the Text box - nothing affects it

    Suggest that you reset the type tool. On the tool's option bar, on the right look for a box with lines in it. Click on it and reset the tool.
    If that does not fix it, reset preferences. To do that, go to Edit>Preferences>General and look for this:

  • Multi-Monitor PSE 9 Corrupt Display

    Multi-Monitor PSE 9 Corrupt Display
    Evening all -
    First post here at PS Gurus.  I hope that you guys can lend your  expertise in pinning down an issue that I am having and have also had on  other PS versions.  I am running
    Windows 7 (64 bit) Ultimate
    2600k / 8 gb ram / 256 Samsung SSD / 460 GTX 1GB
    Matrox Triplehead 2 Go with x3 22" monitors (resolution 5040 x1050)
    A fresh install of the trial version of PSE 9 is yielding corrupt main  toolbar and options bar (for each tool selected).  The application is  expanding full screen on all three monitors just fine but the toolbar  are corrupt - partly transparent / party compressed to the left.  No  matter what I have done in terms of resizing the application window the  results are the same or get worse.
    On another computer I installed PS CS5 (also under win7 64 bit  environment) and I was having the same issue.  However, at the time I  thought the install was bad in some shape or form so I dropped the  issue. 
    I am now considering PSE 9 but see that Win7 + Matrox just isn't  working correctly with this combination of hardware / software  components. 
    Has anyone see this issue or know of a potential fix?  I have read a  couple of threads on the net with similar issues but I don't see any  resolution.  Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks-
    Benjamin

    My main reason for testing PSE-O 9.0 was to find out if this "bug" was fixed. I can not use PSE-O to organize and show pictures the way I want to with this weaknes in place. Your answer is probably correct, bun not at all helpfull.
    So thank you for trying, but my test of PSE O is over for now.
    Does anybody out there know of other products that will do the trick?

  • PSE 9 only works with old AIR version on Win 7 x64. Adobe please help.

    I'm hoping that Adobe can jump in and help here as there are some real versioning issues with the components that PSE 9 uses.  I've made a number of posts in the Adobe AIR forum (while I was figuring this out) and have exchanged with Adobe resources regarding my problems with Adobe AIR on Win 7 x64. They are still looking into it.
    PSE 9.0 comes with
         Adobe AIR 1.5.3.9130,
         Adobe Community Help 3.2.1.650 (an AIR app), and
         Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser 3.07 (an AIR app)
    That  Adobe AIR 1.5.3.9130 is an old version of AIR.  Since then there have been production releases 2.0.2, 2.0.3, and the latest 2.0.4.  If you upgrade to ANY of those Adobe AIR 2.x versions on your Win 7 x64 system, ALL your Adobe AIR apps will stop working.
    Adobe Community Help 3.2.1.650 is an out-of-date version and it continually nags you to update to the newer version.  If you do that, the install will first upgrade Adobe AIR to 2.0.4 and then upgrade Help.  Help will no longer work and all Adobe AIR apps will not work.
    I have installed and uninstalled PSE 9 about 25 times, I have installed and ununinstalled different versions of AIR over 50 times, etc. etc. to come to these conclusions.  I have tested Adobe AIR 2.0.2, 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 and NONE of them work on Win 7 x64.
    I'd really like someone from the Adobe PSE team to look into this.  I don't have time to spend hours on the phone with support.  I have described the problem and can offer more details as necessary.
    Thanks . . . . Brian

    Ankush,
    Thank for your two responses.  I have also received some more emails from Chris Campbell around AIR in particular so I'll try to work with him first.
    Thanks you for confirming that you do not see any errors after installing the updates.  Also that Adobe Help and Inspiration Browser both work after updating AIR to 2.0.4.
    I will answer your questions for now though:
    1. You asked:
    Have you tried this:
    Uninstall PSE 9, PRE 9 and any other CS5 Adobe application.
    Uninstall Adobe AIR.
    Install PSE 9 and run the updates of Adobe AIR and now use the applications?
    If it still gives error, uninstall Adobe AIR and then install the 2.0.4 version directly which is available on Adobe.com.
    What happends now?
         Yes, I have done all of these combinations a few times without success.
    2. The directories for Adobe Help and PIB look fine.  They are
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\PhotoshopdotcomInspirationBrowser
    As I said, Chris Campbell has asked me for info and to run some tests.  I'll let you know how it works out.
    Thanks . . . . Brian

  • PSE 7/8 32- 64 bit?

    Hi all,
    I have a new Winders 7 64 bit computer and am trying to get my catalog from an XP 32 bit box with PSE7 working on it.
    My files are all on a separate drive so have not changed location and I am not trying to copy my pictures etc around, just open the catalog on a different computer.
    Initially I put a trial PSE8 on the W7 box but that would not open the PSE7 catalog saying it had to be repaired with the application that created it. So I went back in on the XP box and tried to do a repair which completed without finding any errors. This made no difference whatsoever. After a week of trying various combinations of this and that I have given up with PSE8 thinking it must have some change to the catalog format.
    So I have now installed PSE7 on my W7/64 box and tried to open the XP/32 PSE7 catalog with it but it says 'The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated'. However as I can open it in XP/32 it is patently not corrupted nor is it out of date as I am using the same PSE version on both machines.
    I am led to conclude that there is some portability issue between 32 and 64 bit PSE catalogs but that still doesn't really help me figure out how to get round this and get my 12k photos working in PSE7 (or 8) on my new computer. I have several weeks worth of new photos waiting to be imported which I cannot do until I have got my existing ones happy on the new box.
    Thanks in advance.
    Philip Coombes

    Thanks John and Juergen for the replies.
    To clarify I am now concentrating solely on going from PSE7 on XP/32 to PSE7 on W7/64. I have run the psedbtool on the XP db and it reports no errors other than warnings about disk serials, which is to be expected as it has gone from being a real machine to a virtual one so the disk serials will be different, There are no missing files or anything like that. It does report a series of 'Paths used by PSE' that I would not expect but there are no files listed under them so I don't know whether they are just ones that the system as a whole includes. Anyway, this is the system where it works ok.
    I have verified that it is correct catalog and have now clicked on the pse7db file in W7 which generates the error I originally reported, namely  'The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated'. I was wondering if it was a permissions problem but have checked and the files are all owned by my user.
    ***STOP PRESS*** As I was writing the above it occurred to me to try running PSE7 as 'Administrator'. Miraculously it then opened the catalog ok. So it does appears to be some sort of permissions issue other than the obvious. I will take a deeper look but any suggestions would also be appreciated. The files and disk was physically moved to the new computer and not copied so there must be something XPish that W7 does not like about the file permissions etc. At least I have something to go on now, though PSE7 could have been a little more helpful with it's error message as the catalog is neither corrupt nor out-of-date.

  • LR keyword search (coming from PSE Organizer 9)

    I am using LR 4.1 RC2.  This morning using LR I upgraded my PSE Organizer 9 catalog.  It has about 50k photos with keywords and star ratings.  It seems like the upgrade worked because I can now see all my photos in LR and they have the keywords and star ratings.  Hurray!  I am having some trouble  figuring out how to do keyword searches in LR though so I hope someone can help.
    In Organizer there are several ways to do keyword searchs:
    1.  Use the Keyword Tags panel and click on one or multiple keywords.  Organizer will then display only the photos that have all of the keywords, i.e., it uses AND.  This is very easy and is great for finding things very quickly when using one or more keywords.
    2.  Use Find > By Details (Metadata) which allows searching by multiple keywords and the choice of AND or OR.  You can also combine the keyword search with other metadata so that, for example, you can find all Bird photos taken in Florida using a Canon 7D + 100-400mm at ISO 400 in April 2011 that have 3 or more stars.  I use this option to search fairly often.
    3.  Use the Search bar and type in search expressions using NOT, AND, and OR.  I occasionally use this for complicated searches that #2 can't handle.  This is a pain in the butt to use since you must type everything out, but when #1 or #2 can't do it (which is rare) it is great to have this option too.
    Several months ago I read on the PSE forum a thread about using Organizer and an Adobe developer recommended upgrading to LR since it was more flexible and meant for professionals and serious amateurs.  Therefore even though I have read the LR help info and can't find how to do sophisticated searches I am sure it is possible and I just haven't found it yet.  Here is what I have found so far:
    1.  Use the Keyword List panel where I can select only one keyword.
    2.  Use the Library Filter bar where I can do a ctrl-click on multiple keywords, but this results in an OR instead of AND.  In other words, if I click on Birds and then ctrl-click on Florida I get all bird photos and all Florida photos (the union, not the intersection).  This is probably almost never what a person wants.
    I hope someone can tell me or point me to documentation so that I can at least do as much as the amateur Organizer can do.  Thank you!

    John, thanks for the reply.  Yes, I am discovering that the amateur Organizer has much better searching capability than the professional Lightroom. I have already mentioned in my post the flexibility and power and Organizer is not even as good as some other programs.  I had spent time investigating LR, but mostly raw conversion and non-destructive editing.  I had, I think naturally, assumed that LR's database functions would be at least as good as the cheap Organizer.  I never dreamt that they would not be as good or as easy to use.  I sometimes wonder what happens in corporations when they seem to forget their own past and come out with new stuff that is a step or two backwards compared to their older, lower end stuff.  Oh well.
    Thank you very much for the tip about having more than one instance of keywords in the filter bar.  That helps.
    After I posted I discovered using Smart Collections and that helps a bit too.  It is sort of a cutdown, less user friendly version of the Find By Details (Metadata) function in Organizer.  It also means that for just a one time search I would have to create a smart collection and then delete it.  What's with that, I wonder?  Of course, if you often want to do that same search then it is good (Organizer allows you to save the search too), but most of the time I just do it one time.  Oh well.
    I looked at the Any Tag plugin and also the Any Filter plugin (same website) and I might download them to try out.
    What I would like for Adobe to do is have their LR developers (probably a more prestigious development team in the company) talk to their Organizer developers (maybe a less prestigious development team) so that the LR developers can learn a bit about this.  Yes, I have been a software developer for many years so I do understand a bit about development organizations.  LR and PS are standard bearing products so their teams probably are held in higher esteem.  Time to be humble and talk to other people though, IMO.
    If any LR developers happen to read this then please know that I mean no offense.  But, please, at least, take a look at Organizer and see if you can come up with something simpler that requires less typing of multiple long keywords and more powerful searching using various types of metadata.  I am not saying Organizer is the best out there, but it is much better than LR in this case.

  • Moving and renaming files after PSE has uploaded them

    I use PSE 7
    I have many folders  (50+) and perhsps file names  ( few thousdand)  that after uplaoding all of them into PSE and tagging about half I am consdering remaning some of them and also combine some folders or just renaming some folders
    any  way to do this with in PSE by jsut doing a folder at a time ( change folder name)  and change file names all at once.
    Would it be easyer to start all over by deleting all images in PSE but not on the disk then reload it all, will the tags still  show up on the photo AND all the tags icons on the side bar be their after
    any help greatly appreacted, I should have done this before starting to work in PSE
    thanks
    Mike

    I think the biggest thing people miss understand about the Organizer  is you no longer have to be concerned with folders or where the photos are located. The beauty of Tags allows you to locate your photo by various methods that you can not do with folders. You can have a tags for location, event and peoples name on the same photo and  you can locate it in your Organizer catalog by selecting any combination of the tags you have assigned. You can not do that with folders. As an example you can find a photo of Jane, from California, at your graduation party.
    Adobe does a poor job of highlighting the advantages of creating tags. The original creator of Album that was later changed to Organizer, Michael Slater, wrote a book on how and what you should think about before creating tags. Unfortunately, he no longer works for Adobe and the book was written for PSE 3. And a lot has changed since then. But the basic concept of using tags verses folders is still applicable and the Chapter is and well worth the price of the book which is still available from Amazon.  http://www.amazon.com/Organize-Photos-Adobe-Photoshop-Elements/dp/0321246969

  • Combining 100 pngs with transparent background, vertically into one image PSE9

    As the question suggests,
    In PSE9 is it possible to combine 100+ PNG files (with identical dimensions & transparent background) into a single PNG file where the images are stacked vertically? and without trimming/cropping the transparent part of the image! I want to retain the exact original image dimensions so that they all stack neatly and precisely. 
    So far what I've tried is opening up the 100 PNG files in PSE9, create a new document with transparent background using the same width as the individual files and the height set to the individual file height multiplied by 100. (i.e. original image is 36 x 120 so the new file will be 36 x 12000) Then I get stuck! Whenever I drag a single file into the newly created document, it seems to be cropped to the image edges and no longer retains it's original height and width. Not to mention that hand dragging 100 files seems like a long-winded way of doing things... My automate button seems to be greyed out (so no contact sheet?) and I can't find any other automated process.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks

    PSE 9 on Win 7

    Please compare the resoultion of the two documents too. And a better way of arranging the layers would be to use distribute option in the move tool. You can find more about the move tool at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/moving-copying-selections.html#main-pars_h eading_0
    Thus your workflow would be:
    Create a new document with the required dimension.
    Use File>Place to place all your png files on the created document as layers
    Use distribute option in move tool
    A still better workflow would be to use put all the files in a folder and write an ExtendScript to read the files and place them as layers on the document of said dimension

  • Saving edited photos in PSE 12 from Lr 5

    I have edited several photos in PSE 12 from Lr5
    After selecting the item to edit with the magnetic lasso tool on the background layer and saving it in selections I created  a new layer and reloaded the selection so far so good
    After editing and then going to save the photo does not show in Lr, it is in the pictures folder but only the selection is visible and the background or unedited portion is white
    I went into Lr and picked the appropriate folder and after right clicking selected  syncronise folder the picture then is displayed in Lr.
    Do I need to select or deselect  or combine the layers before saving or am I missing some other commands out.
    Please try to keep instructions simple new to these programs so all unfamiliar ar present.

    You probabloy used Save As. So you created a new file which Lightroom knows nothing about.
    You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
    1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
    2) Edit in PSE; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
    3) Ctrl+W to close in PSE and update Lightroom thumbnail.
    On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W
    Also make sure all your layers are visibe (eye symbol not turned off) before using Ctrl+S

  • PSE 7 - CS4...no camera raw?

    I have PSE 7 and just installed the trial version of CS4, when I use PSE7 to open a pentax k200d PEF raw image in CS4 I dont get the option to use camera raw, the conversion is done automaticly. When I open the same image in the PSE7 editor or directly in CS4, camera raw opens the way it should. Is there a setting somewhere to change this?
    A friend of mine has PSE5 and CS3 and that combination works just fine (PSE5 -> Camera Raw -> CS3)
    /Sven

    I don't know the exact knowledgebase atricle but this is a known issue.  I don't know if Adobe is going to correct this or not.  You'll have to use Bridge to process the RAW files.  Then import them into PSE when you are finished with any RAW updates.

  • PSE 6 with Windows 7  - three cursor images

    This is a new problem.  I have PSE 6 and Windows
    7.  Everytime I use the move tool, it shows up as three cursor images
    on my work page.
    To be sure it isn't the combination of the PSE6 with W/7
    I downloaded PSE 9 trial.
    I am still having the same problem with a fresh new download.
    Anyway to correct this?
    Other tools look normal on the page.
    ~appreciate any help~

    Thank you very much - worked like a charm.
    It is nice to get help, programs can get so frustrating.

  • Problems Creating Slideshow DVD using PSE 8.0

    I have created a slideshow DVD in the past without problems. I have recently created a new slideshow of photos along with audio. It previews just fine in both PSE and Windows Movie Maker, but after I burned the DVD, only one song plays back when the DVD is in the TV.
    Any suggestions?

    Unless you have the combine programs Photoshop Elements & Premier Elements; there are limitations.
    If you have other software; it’s possible to combine multiple tracks or play lists ant then attach them as a single file in the slideshow editor.
