Currently using Photoshop Elements 9 with 98,000 pix. Can I restore catalog to another PC?

I am currently using Photoshop Elements 9 on one PC and would like to transfer my catalog to another PC with is faster and more powerful PC? For example, could I install Photoshop Elements 10 on the faster PC and then import the Catalog Backup from Elements 9? Currently us Microsoft PCs, if that makes any difference?
Thanks,
Leon

First of all, use PSE9 on your old computer to make a full backup of your catalog and image files. Put this backup in a safe location, such as an external HDD, and don't mess with it. If something goes wrong, you'll need to restore your catalog from this backup to get back to where you started from. Let's call this backup "PSE9 Backup Golden".
Now the question becomes "Can PSE10 restore from a version 9 backup?". I don't know, so you have 3 options:
1. The "I feel lucky" option.
Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD. (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
Install PSE10 on your new computer.
Use the PSE10 Organizer to restore that "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer, answering "Yes" to any prompt about converting the catalog to the new version.
2.
Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD. (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
Install PSE9 on your new computer.
Install PSE10 on you new computer.
Use PSE9 on your new computer to restore "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer.
Open the restored PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
3.
Install PSE10 on your old computer.

Install PSE10 on your new computer.

I have tested the first solution without any problem with different PSE6 catalogs, one of which with 32 000 pictures.

USING PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 WITH WINDOWS 7 CURSUR ISSUE

Currently using Photoshop CS5, but with a replacement computer and upgrade to Yosemite, keep being told I need to install the legacy Java 6. Currently, Photoshop won't even open. I absolutely do not want to subscribe, don't want to mess with the cloud, just want to buy an upgrade to something that will run for a while longer. I don't care about Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, etc.; most of those I've deleted over the years. But I do use Photoshop - or would if it would still run. What options do I have?

This is the java you need for photoshop cs5 to work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
It's also possible you may have to reinstall photoshop cs5 even after installing the above java, because sometimes the upgrade to mac os x 10.10 messes up the photoshop cs5 installation.
You can download photoshop cs5 from here if you don't already have the install media.

Is there a plug in yet to use photoshop elements 12 with nikon d750

I want to use Photoshop Elements 12 with my Nikon D750. Is there a raw plug in yet ?

No, and it is expected that PSE 12 will not get any further updates.
If you don't want to upgrade to PSE 13, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter. Use that to convert your NEF files to DNG files which can then be used by PSE 12.

Can I use Photoshop elements 12 with Windows 8.1

Why use Lightroom if I'm currently using Photoshop Elements?

Have been using photoshop elements for a long time, but many (most?) nonprofessionals I know are using lightroom, sometimes in conjunction with photoshop suites. Is there a reason to add lightroom to the arsenal?

For me, and this is just my opinion, Lightroom has better cataloging and
import options but both have strengths and weaknesses. You have a lot of
power to catalog and edit your images using Lightroom/Photoshop but with
that power comes complexity. Some people don't want to deal with moving
their images from Lightroom, to Photoshop and back to Lightroom. However,
if you need to be able to use a complex naming scheme for your images
(dates, places & a sequence number) or nested keywords (tags) or you want
to be able to adjust images on a tablet while away from your main catalog
then Lightroom may be worth investigating. You can download and take it for
a 30-day spin.

Using Photoshop Elements 6 with iPhoto 09 won´t update miniatures

Hi there - I´m a newbie and a recent switcher from Windows and Linux so please be gentle with me if I´m asking silly questions...
I want to use iPhoto to organize my photos and Photoshop Elements 6 (by now the trial version if that matters) to edit my photos.
I found the settings to define Photoshop as the default editor (by the way - can I still use iPhoto for simple edits by some hidden command?) and I know that I just have to use save (not save as) in Photoshop. My Problem is, that iPhoto does not reflect the changes I make in the miniatures (except for aspect ratio changes). When i double-click the edited image to enlarge it I can see, that my changes are applied to the image (I can also see the new version of the image in finder in my iPhoto-Library).
Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance.

By the way: do you think timemachine backups are enough?
No.
I may be a tad extreme but my photos are important to me and my family.
My Library lives on my iMac.
It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected. For this job I use DejaVu because it makes a simple back up that is clear and can be tested easily without doing an full restore.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. Personally I use SmugMug but there are many options including flickr. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size, or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you will need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a restore.

Using Photoshop Elements 12 with SkyDrive files.

I have all of my photos in a picture file on my Microsoft SkyDrive. They are well organized and work well on my Desktop. I would like to be able to work on my laptop as well which has (by definition) they exact same pictures and structure. Is it possible to work that way?

Thanks for your reply 99jon.
Images are perfect in iPhoto, Preview, Aperture 3 and DPP. I got Photoshop Elements for two specific tasks that the other software doesn't do. Resizing and putting borders on files for printing and inverting images of copied negatives. I can still do this but I find that the edges are so jagged that it is hard to use Elements 12 for anything else. The text looks jagged / pixellated too not just the image.
If I take the image resized in Elements 12 and look at it in iPhoto it looks fine. So if Elements is not optimised for the Retina display am I stuck with how it looks? I start with large Raw files too. They get converted to .jpg to go to the printer.

Using Photoshop elements 9 with two monitors

I used Photel 6 with no problem on my Macbook Pro + Lacie 324 monitor, and used to slide the photo on the LaCie and keep the tools on the Macbook Pro screen.
I just installed Photel 9 and I cannot do that anymore. Does anyone know why and tell me how to do it please ?

First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help! I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine. I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance). Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest! I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you. Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?
