Copy photos in PSE 7

Does PSE 7 give you the option to copy photos to a flash drive yet, in PSE 5 I have to burn the files to a CD/DVD drive which is a pain if you just want to copy photos for somebody else.

Simple copy-paste also works:
- Right click the files you want to copy and COPY...
- Open the drive where you want to paste the files and press CTRL+V

I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc.. Many of my photos are located in several folders. When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories). Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays." When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog. Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in? I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

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

How do I transfer photos from PSE 12 to PSE 13 and do I uninstall PSE12?

I have downloaded PSE 13, and now need to move the photos in PSE 12 organizer to PSE 13. Do I uninstall PSE 12 after photo transfer?

PSE12 simply mirrors your folders on the hard drive of your computer. The Organizer stores nothing physically; simply making links to your folders.
Try copying outside Elements from the OS to Kindle.
Otherwise you probably need to contact Amazon.

Archiving Photos in PSE 7

I am trying to clear up space on my hard drive, so I'm interested in archiving photos by using the "Copy/Move Offline" feature. I no longer want to have full versions on my hard drive, just the thumbnail references, and I'm hoping to minimize the difficulty in accessing the full versions when I upgrade the software. I have a couple of ideas/issues to figure out and would appreciate some help:
1. One option is archive to a DVD--my issue is that I use a specific folder structure on my harddrive (i.e. Year>Quarter = 2007>JAN-MAR), and I'm not sure how to create that on a DVD (or if its necessary). Do I need to use a read/write DVD in order to create my structure ahead of time, then "move offline" the files in sections? Would I still need the structure?
2. Another option is my external harddrive--I tried to "move offline," using the "Copy/Move Offline" feature, the full version photos to the external harddrive, so that I could still have my folder structure. Then I was hoping that I could access the photos in PSE when the harddrive was disconnected, and they would show up as "offline." No such luck. When I went to a photo that should have been "offline," it treated it as a missing link and tried to reconnnect. Anyone know why this is happening? Any other suggestions on how to make it offline on an external harddrive?
*I do also want to mention that I have a full back up on an off-site server, and I plan on burning DVD's with just the photos and sending them to other off-site locations (i.e. family members), so that I don't have all my eggs in one basket, so to speak.

I recommend moving your folder heirarchy to an external hard drive using Display > Folder Location view:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos
I strongly recommend against using File > Copy/Move to Removable Disk. A fair number of people have reported here that when they used this command in an older version of PSE and then upgraded, their catalog was corrupted. Most of them were able to recover their photos and tags, but it was very painful. Adobe customer service was useless -- they even asked one person to mail them a copy of his catalog, and after a coule of months, they said in effect "sorry". So in my opinion, you'd be foolish to entrust your metadata to Adobe.
Copy/Move To Removable doesn't preserve your folder structure. It also doesn't make "previews" or "proxies" (large thumbnails) of your images when you move the files to a hard drive rather than optical media, as you've discovered. (Not clear if that's a "feature" or a "bug".)

HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7?

HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7? ALSO, HOW DO YOU MAKE THE PHOTO KIND OF HAZY LOOKING? JUST A SLIGHT BIT FOR EFFECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

1966desertrat,
There are various ways to do this; here is one:
Open picture file
Duplicate background layer
Open new blank layer, and fill with white (Edit>fill>white)
Drag this layer between the background layer and the background copy layer
On the top layer, make a selection of the subject by dragging with the Elliptical marquee tool, position it to embrace the subject - can use arrow keys on keyboard to fine-tune
Go to Select>inverse
Go to Select>feather>try 25px - experiment for degree of feather
Hit delete on keyboard
Go to Select>inverse
Go to Select>deselect
To blur, go to Filter>blur>gaussian blur and adjust slider to suit

How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc?

How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc? My hardrive recently crashed and the photos on my ipod are the only copies I have! The photos were synced onto th ipod originally - not saved or copied as file transfer.

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I'm not sure which of the recovery tools can do photos offhand, but unless you chose the option to include full res. originals when you loaded the device then what they extract will be fairly low res. If you did opt for full res. then they should be visible on the iPod's drive when viewed in disk mode.

Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations. In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export... In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information". Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others. In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji. But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector. The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto. If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data. Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy. Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

Thanks for the pointer. I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy. Copy the photos to the new Library. Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc). Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working). But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature.

How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

PSE12 Organizer - can you copy photo from one folder to another and import copy into Organizer and still have original in other folder

I have been using folders to organize all my pictures and I will copy photos from folder to folder, often having them in 2 or 3 folders based on use. I tried to copy a photo in Organizer PSE12 from one folder to another and you can only move it, that means I can only have one copy of the photo. That is fine if I am using tags and want to search for it, but I want to have mult copies in mult folders. Organizer will recognize that it is there but it won't import it into the new folder. Until I move it, it stays in the original folder. I can drag it out of Organizer and drop (copy) it into a new folder fine, but it won't show in organizer in the new folder. Is there any way to copy and have multiple copies show up in multiple folders?

Hi,
The organizer works on the principle of not having multiple copies of the same photo.
If you have multiple copies spread in different folders, then making changes to one doesn't affect the others. The use of tags and albums are there to give different views of your photos.
You can't have multiple copies with exactly the same name even if they are in different folders. You could select a photo and duplicate it (File -> Duplicate) and then move the copy into a different folder but the name will be different.
If you want different folders for a specific reason, it is possible to use albums to collect the group of photos and then export them to a new folder outside of the organizer. You can also rename on export which is useful if you want to arrange the photos in a specific order.
Hope that helps a bit.
Brian

how do i copy photos from iCloud to my personal drive?

If you mean you want to save them to your iPad, open the photo stream album, tap Select, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll). If you mean on your computer, save them to your camera roll, then import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

I cant copy photo's out of iPhoto, I select them all but if I want to paste them for example to my nas or a folder on my macbook, the paste option wont appear. I tried with export, didnt work either. It used to work, but now all of a sudden it wont.

I cant copy photos out of iphoto (event), I can copy them but if I want to paste them in another folder on my macbook or nas hdd, I dont have the option "paste" If I select some of the pic's it sometimes works.I also tried with export them but didnt work either.
I used to load them into iphoto manged them and then simly copied them and saved them on my nas and/or my macbook's hdd in a folder, but now it wont work. I have now thousents of photo i cant copy, its a mess....
it might be a problem with an update as I had also a mess with my music after updating to the latest itunes.
has anybody an idea how to fix this??

That warning sign comes up when iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original photos. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do I copy Photos from iPhone to PC?

This sounds like a very simple question. And with my digital cameras, and old phones, this is just a case of connecting the device to the PC. and copying the files from the device to my harddrive. But with my iPhone this seems very confusing and awkward...
It seems I have to use iTunes. And it is something to do with 'syncing'. However, when I select my iPhone device in iTunes, and select the Photos tab. Pressing 'sync' does nothing. And If I select the checkbox beside 'Sync photos from:'. It warns me:
"Are you sure you want to sync photos? All existing photos and albums on the iPhone "....." will be replaced with photos and albums from the selected folder."
I have a problem here. I'm using my girlfriend's computer, and she has 1000's of photos. While I have a few hundred on my iPhone taken from our recent outings and holidays. I'm afraid that if I continue click 'Sync Photos', it'll replace (i.e. delete) all my photos/albums on my iPhone, and copy 1000's of photos from the PC, which I have no interest on putting on my iPhone. I fail to see the point in this??? - I want to take photos on my iPhone, and copy them off onto my PC, I do not want to copy photos from my PC and put them on my iPhone to view.
What should I do? This whole 'syncing' concept, is pretty alien to me? It seems like the idea with iTunes/iPod/iPhone world is about duplicating data you have on one device on another, which spirals out of control. I'm also afraid of charging my iPhone at work, because it wants to constantly sync, and backup all my personal information (i.e. Emails/Photos/Videos) from my iPhone to my work computer, which means that any sys admin can potentialy log into my computer and dig thru my personal information?
I've heard of these 3rd party pieces of software. But I don't see why I have to buy something else, just to copy photos off, when I have already forked out so much money on buying an iPhone. I've read other guides on the internet, and there is mention of being able to view the iPhone as a 'Camera device' in My Computer, and then be able to copy folders like you would on a regular digital camera, but that option is not available for me, only iTunes detects the iPhone, just about.
If you could help me, I'd be much grateful!

What is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes is for transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone only - not for importing photos from your iPhone's camera roll to your computer. As with iTunes content, photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
When there are photos in your iPhone's camera roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to a computer. With a Mac, photos can be imported by iPhoto or by the Image Capture application included with OS X, as with any other digital camera.
With Windows, you can use the Windows Camera and Scanner wizard as with any other digital camera. Or with your iPhone connected, you should be able to manually transfer the photos from your iPhone to your computer, which should be available via Windows Explorer.
Under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect automatically sync when this iPhone is connected. Or iTunes includes a global preference setting at iTunes > Preferences under the Devices tab to not automatically sync when any iPod or iPhone is connected.
