CR 5.6 and PSE8

Hi,
I have downloaded and install the window version of CR5.6 for PSE 8, but I am still seeing Camera Raw 5.5 in the RAW files opened by PSE8. Camera Raw 5.6 is very important to get best out of canon 7D files. Any help!

Is there a good workflow between LR2.6 and PSE8?

Is there a good workflow between LR2.6 and PSE8? I am new to PSE and would like to use it as a secondary editor but continue to use LR to manage my photos. I read that PSE8 will handle raw format but can not get LR to export other than TIF, JPG and PSD. I woiuld appreciate tips fro others doing the same.

I noticed with one of my two LR2.6/PSE8 installations, that LR did not pick up PSE8 automatically as installed. I had to add the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
with two values to the registry (obviously I'm a WinXP user).
The attached .txt file embedded in the .zip shows the key and the two values needed in my case. To add the values to a registry, extact the .txt file from the .zip, remove the .txt extension from the name to make it a .reg file and double click it (at your own risk!).
After adding them, LR would show Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements ... as an option, which it would not before.

Run PE8 (and PSE8) with 64-bit Win 7

My hardware
Dell XPS 600 desktop
3.2 Mhz Intel Pentium D
64-bit Win 7 OS (full clean custom install)
dual-STI NVIDIA GForce 6800 video cards (w/64-bit drivers)
6 GB RAM
What's the latest word on successfully running PE8 (and PSE8) with 64-bit Win 7 (particularly with my current very stable computer setup above)?

I haven't had any serious issues as such with my Win7 64 bit PC.

Lightroom 3 trial download and PSE8 catalogue import

This goes with another recent thread to do with importing Elements catalogues. I have not been able to find the command to upload my PSE8 catalogues into LR, but I did just import a whole set of about 2,000 images from my PSE directory and these all came into LR without any problems except that not all images had tags. Most of them arrived with the PSE tags, some did not. So all is not lost it seems if you cannot just load your PSE catalogue en-masse. It may take a bit of work, but manual importing seems to work. By the way, I have 5 different PSE catalogues which I use all the time, so they all current. This also allows me to keep adding photos to the PSE database, while I am still investigating LR, as the originals still reside in the PSE sub-folder. I presume using the "synch" button in LR will simply update any new arrivals in LR. Bye.

You can use the free utility psedbtool to get all of the metadata correctly written from the PSE catalog into your photos, so you won't lose any tags, dates/times, captions, map locations, or star ratings:

Differences between "organizing" in LR3 or 4 and PSE8.

I am considering moving to LR4 from PSE 8 because I assume that LR is a more stable and robust environment. Over the next 3-4 months I wil be adding approx 7-10K images to PSE 8 which I'm running now. I use PSE 8 probably 90% for organizing, tagging family photos. Editing is no more than 10%. I would like to get feedback about moving my now nearly 10K of tagged images ot LR4 and how LR handles tagging. ( From the videos I see it seems this is accomplished with a file structure rather than tags, is ths correct and how does LR import existing PSE 8 tags.) Is my assumption that LR has more robust organizing features. Are they worth the change from PSE 8? Has support and stability of LR good? In general I'm nervous about changing but I'm also geeting nervous about having 20,000 images in the wrong "organizer". Any recommendations or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
Dave Roney

I was concerned that the transfer would be accurate so I looked at the total number of files in "my pictures" and tryed to reconcile it to PSE 8 and LR 4.
There are several differences. PSE 8 includes .BMP amd .WMV files LR 4 does not support those formats. Also note that LR 4 does not count all of the stacked files in its counts. Make sure you unstack all files before trying to reconcile LR 4 file counts to "my picture" counts. I have only 9500 files but I now reconcile exactly. Good luck, its tedious.

ACR 6.2 and PSE8

I have ACR 6.1 in PSE8, will 6.2 work or is it only for CS5? Thanks.

If Adobe keeps to past tradition, you will be able to use all releases in the 6.x series with your copy of Photoshop Elements, though the installation procedure has been a bit more manual for Elements than the full version (i.e., you have to copy a file rather than running an integrated updater). Nothing that can't be managed with a little care, though.

Unable to open raw file editor in PSE8

Hi,
I have just purchased PSE8 and after installing on my laptop, I cannot open a camera raw file in the raw file editor. Instead in opens directly in the PSE8 editor.
My software and camera details are as follows: Adobe Photoshop Elements Language Version: 8.0.0 (8.0 (20090905.r.605812))
Operating System: Windows Vista 32-bit Version: 6.0 Service Pack 2le editor.
My camera is a Nikon D80 and raw files have the extension .NEF
PSE 8 camera raw plugin is version 5.5.0.97
I have tried removing PSE 8 and the plugin as defined in solution 2 at:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407110.html
I did have a trial version of PSE8 installed before purchase, but removed it from my laptop as defined above before installing PSE8.
Any help appreciated.
Best regards,
TonyMV8

Thanks for your reply. I have followed the instructions as defined at: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Problems_open ing_raw and the problem is still there.
I have alos completly removed PSE8 and the associated plugins form my laptop including empting the trash bin and then started reloaded PSE8, but hte end result does not change anything.
You asked how I was opening a raw file, well what I am doing is as follows:
1. I open PSE8 from my desktop.
2. Select 'Edit' and PSE8 Editor opens.
3. Select 'File' then 'Open'
4. Highlight a 'NEF' with 'Files of type: set to 'All Formats' and select 'Open' ( I have also tried changing the 'All formats' to raw files, but this does not change anything).
5. The raw file opens within PSE8, and not the raw editor.
At stage 5 on my desktop PC running under XP in PSE8, the raw editor appears as per below.
Any thoughts and ideas appreciated.
Best regards,
TonyMV8

Pse 8 and Bridge cs4 seems to work okay here on mac os x 10.9.4 mavericks.
The only trouble i've had is with the output module in bridge cs4, which has crashed on occasion.

PS CS4 and 64 bit Win7, RAW problem??? Help!

My old system up and died last week, so I ended up with a new computer. I have the fastest AMD Phenom processor, 4mg fast RAM, an ATI video card with 1mg RAM, and a complete new install of Windows 7 64-Bit. I installed PS Elements 8 and PS CS4 this morning. PSE8 went on without a glitch and seems to work perfect in RAW. CS4 had a couple of install errors, but installed saying that "a few features" may only work partly I downloaded PSE8 from a disk and CS4 from the Adobe site, and I am fully licensed for both programs. I down loaded new photos (same ones) to both programs (RAW only) and PSE8 opened all of them perfectly with full controls. When I opened BRIDGE in PS CS4, all of my thumbnails were an icon files that said NEF but no actual pictures like PSE8. When I tried to open them in RAW they would not open. Any ideas out there? I am not sure where to start looking. I tried to re-install CS4, but the program would just "hang". Also, PSE8 automatically put an Icon on my desktop where CS4 did not. So my guess is an installation problem. Any Help is appreciated!

Sounds like you do not have ACR (Adobe camera raw) installed, or it is in wrong folder. Go the PS help/about plug-in/camera raw. It should give you a version 5.x. There can only be one file listed. If you have none download it in updates I believe.

My raw files wont open in pse8 or dng 6.4, why not?

hi all,
I've got a sony 580 and I cant get my raw files to open in either pse 8 or dng 6.4.
I've updated the camera raw plug-in to 6.2.0.29, which i understand does not have support for the 580.
But the troubleshoot says to try dng instead which does list the 580 in its supported cameras.
any ideas why it wont work.
incidentally i find it very sharp practice for adobe to not support a major manufacturers raw files in a piece of software that's really not that old. (even if its not the mosr recent version of pse). I would not have purchased it if i knew i would have to upgrade every time i changed the camera body i'm using

thanks for the reply noel,
the camera body and pse8 were purchased a couple of months apart, so not really intending to replace either anytime soon......
my issue with it not working is mainly frustration i guess.... having spent a lot of money on the camera i did hope that the industry leading photoediting software (albeit the cut-down version) would work with it without any problems. I'm very happy with pse's performance once i can actually open a file lol
When i go to the folder where i have the raw files stored and try to open with dng it doesn't show any files. (yes they are definitely in there, they can be seen fine in windows explorer, and picasa will quite happily open them)
the version of dng is 6.4.0.139
the source folder says ' no items match your search ' when i select it

Aperture vs PSE8 vs iPhoto

I have all three SW's on a Mac and have three questions:
1. Is there really a difference between Aperture and PSE8 when it comes to basic photo manipulation? They both offer SW for use with RAW images but at least with PSE I can do some broader and deeper manipulation. Am I missing something here?
2. When bringing images into computer which SW is best for the initial filing? I don't particularly want three libraries with the same images in each.
3. I was told by the Apple guys to keep away from Bridge. Is this Apple people pushing Apple SW is there a legit reason?
I like iPhoto because it's just plain easy (limited functionality) but easy. Aperture (and Lightroom for that matter) don't seem to offer more than what I have in Elements.
Looking forward to your takes on these questions.
Thanks,
Ken W

Hi,
I too have the three softwares on my system and i have tried all of them. As you said, iPhoto is plain easy with limited functionality. And ofcourse what Aperture and lightroom serves as editing features, PSE is a superset with alot of wow features extra. It serves much more than just sliders and simple spot healing brushes. Smart brushes, guided edits, recompose tool, layers , cool filters/effects , photomerge groupshots, exposure merge, scene cleaner etc. There are a plenty of such editing features which you would not find in Aperture. Initially i was little skeptical about using non MAC editing application so used Aperture for long but now i would simply say PSE8 does not have any comparison with PSE. And i have not faced any issue with Bridge as well.
So from the time I use PSE8, I use that only. I really wish Adobe introduces the full Organizer application for MAC as well as it do for Windows.

What can I extract from PS7, and should I?

I have an older mac which runs PS7, It's old and slow like me but I've read that its possible to extract stuff from the guts of the programme and save it to PE8 which I'm using on a newer faster upgraded macbook, which can't run PS7. What can I use, I'm immediately thinking of Actions, and should I do anything of the sort. Pointers to books or advice gladly accepted.

I was using PS7 on an old iMac when I started building my brush set, and I learned to make custom shapes.
Since then I've learned to make gradients, and have built a collection of 1200 brushes, shapes and gradients combined. I also have a font library of nearly 5,000, and all of this stuff is on a DVD-R that I've used to move my "personal set" from the iMac to a G5 iMac (CS2 & CS3), three PCs (CS2, CS3 & CS4), a MacMini (CS3, then back to CS2), and most recently my new MacBook (CS4).
I don't know about "deterioration" of these items as much as something in the files themselves that is simply no longer compatible as PS or PSE goes from one build to another.
It's not even apparent until I go to use a brush (or set) and get an error message. I have to delete it then. It doesn't happen so often with shapes or gradients, but I've seen a shape or two that simply won't work with CS4 where it did with CS3. I have three PCs running XP and CS3 and they all work fine. On Vista or OS 10.6 and CS4 they don't. Same applies to PSE6 and PSE8. Some styles, actions and shapes that work in PSE6 don't in PSE8.
I've not been able to find any rhyme or reason as to what causes it. I think it's just changes in the code when applications are upgraded.
I have found dozens of sites where people have created their own actions and put them up for others to download though.
My advice would be to pull what you feel you will need from PS7 and put it on a CD-R or DVD-r, or flash drive and once you have CS4 running on the Mac, copy it all into the right folders. Then, using PSE will show you which itms are compatible or not. They don't "break" the application, but you will get an error that "The (acton/brush/shape/etc.) couldn't be loaded due to a Program Error". When you see that, you'll know the particular item is not compatible. PSE will still run, it just won't use that item.

PSE8 Organizer won't display on monitor

I have a really strange problem. I have a new laptop running Windows 7. I have a mouse, keyboard and monitor (among other things) attached to it via a port replicator so I can use the laptop as a desktop (whatever happened to good old docking stations?!?). I have had all kinds of problems since installing PSE8, but this one baffels me.
When I start up the Organizer, either from a direct shortcut to PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe OR through the Welcome screen, Organizer starts (and appears in the task bar) but only displays on the laptop screen. It won't display on my monitor. Now it worked a couple of times but then stopped working.
I'm hoping there is a very simple solution!

Edit > Visibility was set to Show All Files. In Preferences, I unchecked all filter selections for Auto Analyze. No effect.
I have one folder with 3 .tiff files that PSE8 Organizer won't display. Trying to import the files and PSE8 says they are there but PSE8 cannot display them. No explanation. Windows Photo Viewer and Picasa have no problem displaying them.
I have deleted and made new catalogs with the same results for that folder. I cannot figure out what is wrong with these files. All other applications have no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

PSE8 Organizer won't display new files

After copying photo files into a folder, I opened PSE8 Organizer and imported the files. PSE8 reported importing 578 photos. I clicked to Show ALL. Only the original 24 photos in the folder are displayed.
I have tried rebuilding the catalog, and deleting and creating a new catalog. Nothing seems to work. The rebuilding of the catalog reported the files are there and do not need to be imported. But PSE8 still won't display any but the original 24 files.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
