Consolidate Elements 9 and 10 catalogues

My computer memory is full, and I have both Elements 9 and 10 on it.  I need to consolidate photos in one version, and then delete the other version- presumably Elements 9.  Can anyone walk me thru how to do this?  any help greatly appreciated!
Barb K.

1. I use both versions for almost all post process-editingadjust exposure, crop, filters, contrast, erase, etc...I download from camera to my C drive, then import into the catalogue, and discard images not deemed usable.  I don't believe any files/ folders are common to both versionsonce I got Elements 10 I began using it instead of 9, and images already in Elements 9 stayed in 9.
2.  The vast majority of images are in a "pictures" folder, with subcategories generally (but not always) by year.  within each year are then subcategorized by date, each time I download from the camera I open a new "date" subfolder with a bit of suffix description.  I have then 
3.  The Elements 9 organizer is 799 MB size, and Elements 10 Organizer is 890 MB.
4. Yes thankfully I have external drives available to assist in all this, I had just bought a 1TB WD Passport to undertake a total reorganizing and new approach.  I also have an Iomega external drive with 866 GB available. 
5.In reviewing directories just now, I discovered that my back ups at each camera download (at least in 2013 and some of 2012) have gone to a folder also on the C drive.  I would like to move that "back up folder" off of the C drive and onto an external drive, but won't do so until you say its ok.
6. Now Here's the odd part. It appears that all photos in each version 9 and 10 are in one catalogue in each version--I typically import into Elements from the C drive folder I would have downloaded shots from camera into under step 5 above.  My preferences in each case (9 and 10 version) instruct that Folder for saved files is to be Pictures/ Adobe subdirectory, but when I look in that folder it is largely empty. It appears that they have each saved back to the C folder described in #5 above. 
Hope this is helpful for you...

  • I am consolidating Elements 9 and 10 catalogues.

    How do I import the old (version 9) catalogue into the Elements 10 catalog I have been running?  I have just completed writing all tags and metadata to each catalogue.
    Do I go to File dropdown menu, and then what? any help much appreciated....

    what if you are moving files from Elements to Lightroom or CS6?
    I don't understand this statement in the context of the original question.
    Are you in fact using PSE9 and PSE10 and Lightroom together? If so, what are the goals you have in using these three pieces of software? This has not been stated (in fact, Lightroom was not mentioned in your opening statement)
    if you think I need to proceed consolidating in Elements
    I don't think so at all. I have no opinion on the whether you should consolidate your catalogs. It seems however, like you think you need to do this (again, from reading your opening statement), in which case, if that's correct, then I can provide help in doing so.
    mechanically how do I import those images --go to Files, "get new files/ images from folder?
    Yes, that's how you import images into PSE

  • IPhoto with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and Adobe Bridge

    I have not used iPhoto before now as I have been downloading photos from my Canon and Nikon cameras using their software. I have now moved everything into iPhoto but cannot find iPhoto using Adobe Bridge so I am unable to do any editing using Elements 4. Previously I could find the Canon and Nikon photos using Adobe Bridge. With a simple click on the relevant photo it opened up in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and I was able to edit it. Now using Bridge I simply cannot find iPhoto thus I cannot use PSE4. Can someone help before I go crazy ? I havde called Apple support but they have been unable to help me and suggested using Discussions@Apple

    Many thanks for your quick response although, as a new iMac user, the mere mention of the word "corrupt" scares me ! I previously used a PC with Windows XP and PSE3 and loved being able to sort all my photos into albums with PSE3. Unfortunately the PSE4 which I have installed on my iMac doesn't let users sort their photos into albums and the only alternative is Adobe Bridge. I only recently started to use iPhoto after a visit to an Apple Store and it's great being able to catalog my photos so easily. Unfortunately PSE is far and away superior to any editing software that iPhoto has to offer. Anyway, I'll cross my fingers and try your suggestion first thing tomorrow morning.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Did you have the opportunity to update 12 to 12.1 Update yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so when you get the opportunity.

  • I have elements 11 and I did the 30 day trial of elements 12. When the trial expired it caused problems with my elements 11. Nothing opens correctly, some not at all and I can't get help?

    Please help me. I am so disappointed in Adobe. I was planning on upgrading to 12 after the trial period but was unsure still. The problem I am having now is that my PSE 11 Organizer is off the grid. When I right click on a file and go to "open With", it only offers me the option to use Premiere Elements and not Photoshop. I found the .exe@ file for Photoshop Elements 11 and created a shortcut to my task bar in order to get to it. That won't work on my organizer though. Should I just uninstall and reinstall the whole thing? I'm on Windows 8.1. I refuse to upgrade to 12 after being refused any support considering it was the trial they encouraged me to try that caused my problem.If I have to reinstall everything with it impact the projects I've created?

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I use OSX version 10.8.5 and iphoto on a MAC.  I upgraded to elements 12 and in IPHOTO it keeps going to Elements 9???  Help please - how do I make it reference the new version???

    I have a MAC and use IPHOTO and had used Adobe Elements 9 as the external Editor and IPHOTO as default.  NOW I upgraded to Adobe elements 12 and IPHOTO only recognoizes Adobe Elements 9???  HOW do I make it go to the new external editor??  I appreciate any help you can provide?

    You need to reset the external image editor in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to the right version. I assume there's an Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 folder in your Applications folder.  This screenshot is for PSE 10 but would be the same for 12:

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
    BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • Error: 1 with Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and Photoshop 11

    I started using Adobe Premeire Elements 11 and Photoshop 11 about three months ago and everything worked fine. Recently I have been unable to open either program and get  "error:1" when trying to do so. I have done a clean re-install and updates of both programs, but I am still having the same problem. I would appreciate help in resolving this problem. Thanks

    Uninstall Premier
    Find any premier Short cut keys and delete them.
    Remove Content as well
    REBOOT your computer.
    Re-install off disc with serial no
    Re-install content again.
    REBOOT AGAIN
    Should be right then, I had to do it twice as I did not Reboot between so I reinstalled the first time got the same error.
    With rebooting in between came up fine. And then download the Premier 901 upgrade.
    Hope this is not too late.

  • No audio on Timeline Premiere Elements 13 and no longer on 12 after upgrading to 13.

    On my Mac with OS X Yosemite I've worked with Premiere Elements 12 for a while and it just worked fine. Now I;ve upgraded to Elements 13 and the clips that were fine the other day have now lost there audio when I put them on the Timeline. However if I double click the clip in project assets and play it on the clip monitor everything is fine, but as soon as I send it to the timeline or storyboard the audio disappears. I'm in a spot now as I can't use 13 and neither return to Elements 12. Any ideas will be very much apprexiated.

    Ted
    Momentary detour.....
    Could we go over the path
    Just a week ago I created a movie with Elements 12 on this same Mac with OS X Yosemite and ij
    just worked fine. On second thoughts the movie was a bit too long, so I
    imported the saved project to re-edit it, only to find out that the audio
    had gone for the greater part of the clips on the timeline. I closed
    elements 13 and reopened 12 and the saved project with the same result.
    When you got to second thoughts, what did you do....
    a. rebuild the project anew in Premiere Elements 13?
    b. import the Premiere Elements 12 export in Premiere Elements 13?
    c. open the Premiere Elements 12 project in Premiere Elements 13?
    I ask since you cannot import one project file into another and you wrote "imported the saved project".
    You wrote after the file was drag from Premiere Elements 13 Project Assets to Timeline
    only to find out that the audio had gone for the greater part of the clips on the timeline.
    What was gone - the representation of the whole audio clip on the audio track or just the sound
    for the whole? Was the duration of the clip listed in Project Assets, the same as observed at
    its Timeline level?
    If you took this Premiere Elements 13 Timeline (problem audio there) to export, was there sound in the export?
    If you create a project in an earlier version, it is often possible to open it in a later version to work with the project in the later version.
    But, you cannot open the later version edited project in the earlier project again. So, I was not sure what you were describing when
    you wrote
    I closed elements 13 and reopened 12 and the saved project with the same result.
    What saved project?
    Premiere Elements 13 Audio
    Please consider deleting the Media Cache Files Folder where the program saves the automatically generated conformed audio.
    To locate that Folder, on Windows I could go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks/Media Cache to find location for the Media Cache Files Folder. Is that the
    same for Mac?
    Also, please let us know if the flawed Premiere Elements 13 Timeline audio content exports OK or contains the flaws encountered before export.
    Again, please excuse if I have included things that you were already aware of. Because of the nature of your issue, I did not want to take anything for grant.
