Edit In Lightroom, catalogue in Elements 10. Can this be done?

I have 55,000 images catalogued in Elements 10 (took me three months to finish the job) and I now want to switch to Lightroom for editing whilst retaining my PS catalogue. Can I therefore, import initially into Lightroom (from camera), edit, then export to Elements?
Alternatively, would it be better to simply save my current catalogue of 'destructed' images and begin a new grand catalogue in Lightroom?
Cheers

In my opinion, the only sensible choice is to upgrade the PSE10 catalog to a Lightroom catalog, and then do your organizing there. There really is NO smooth easy way to allow photo from a PSE catalog to be edited in Lightroom. The PSE Organizer was not designed to send photos to Lightroom's Develop Module. (However, the other way around, Lightroom's Library Module was designed to work with the PSE Editor.)

This is takes extra work for each photo, and I discourage you from doing this, since as stated, there are much better options. Furthermore, I don't see any benefit of doing this, compared to import into LR, edit in LR, leave in LR. What benefit do you see?
Alternatively, would it be better to simply save my current catalogue of 'destructed' images and begin a new grand catalogue in Lightroom?
Absolutely not. You don't want to lose all the work that you have already done and then re-do it. And you want all of your photos in a single catalog (and in my opinion, that should be the Lightroom catalog).
As I said, the easiest choice is to upgrade the PSE catalog to a Lightroom catalog, and then do your organizing and editing in Lightroom. Use PSE as an auxiliary editor for those situations where you need more power than the Lightroom editor. What objection do you have against this?
I have read just the opposite of what you say - that Lightroom is a 'light' version of Photoshop Elements
This is baloney. Lightroom was designed to be different that either PSE or Photoshop, it is a large set of capabilities and strengths, and is not a "light" version of anything. Furthermore, if your thought process was based on this non-truth that Lightroom is a "light" version of PSE, then you will be led in the wrong direction (which apparently, you have been). You need to evaluate each software based on its capabilities, and determine which one meets your needs the best, rather than evaluate the software on misleading words like "light version".

  • I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
    Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
    The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
    Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
    iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
    If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
    Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
    Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
    Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
    Disconnect the device from your computer.
    iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
    Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
    Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
    Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
    Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.

  • I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

    I am using a Mac and just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

    No the pages will open as separate documents in Expert Mode. You really need Acrobat or possibly you could copy and paste the contents into MS word. Then re-save as PDF.

    My laptop has been stolen with Elements installed, can this licence be transferred to my new laptop?

    Hello Alex,
    in addition to John's hint: Nevertheless it could be of interest whether you can have multiple users or computers.
    Again and again refers Adobe on this page:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  >>> How many computers can I install on >>> You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    On the other hand, you could have a look here: http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6/faq.html
    Good luck!

  • Demo & Video - Can this be done?

    My client would like to have a captivate demo of their
    software on the right side of the screen, while on the left there
    is video of a manager explaining the demo.
    It would look like this:
    link
    Can this be done with just Captivate? From what I can tell
    your recording has to be the full size of your project. If not,
    anyone know what tools could be used to do this? I assume Flash,
    but would imagine the difficulty would be getting the demo and the
    video to be in sync.
    Any suggestions/thoughts are very appreciated.
    Edit: I think I should have put this post in General. Anyone
    know how to have it moved? I don't want to create multiple posts of
    the same topic.
    Thanks!
    Choksi

    Welcome to our community, Choksi
    I'm pretty sure you can do this with Captivate, some
    imagination and another little Adobe product called Visual
    Communicator.
    Click here
    for the Visual Communicator site)
    Basically, you would record the demonstration at the smaller
    size. Then you would create a larger Captivate presentation that
    would hold the whole thing. You would then have the basic
    demonstration occurring in the left side of the screen as your
    image shows. Now for the fun part. You would use Visual
    Communicator to record many smaller video segments that describe
    what is occurring over on the left side of the screen. Once
    recorded, you would produce them as .FLV files and insert them onto
    the Captivate slides as needed.
    I suppose you may be able to also work the other way around.
    Create the Captivate projects and insert them into Visual
    Communicator. Not sure if it supports that quite yet, but may be
    interesting.
    Hopefully that helps... Rick

  • 1 repository serving 2 OBIEE servers - can this be done?

    Hi Gurus.
    I have a question that I though might be better answered in this forum.
    Is it possible for us to configure 1 repository and have 2 OBIEE / Web Logic servers running from it?
    We are thinking of having one OBIEE server for external and the other for internal layers.
    Can this be done? With each running off / out of the same repository?
    I did find this http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-scaleout-clustering-and-high-availability/

  • I have 220 photos on my camera. I want to create 6 different folders for a download. Can this be done? I need instructions on how to do this.

    I have 220 photos on my camera to be downloaded to Lightroom. I want to organize them in 6 different folders. Can this be done?  I need instructions to do this.

    You cannot direct a single Copy Import operation from your card into multiple folders, but you can either import multiple times, selecting different photos each time from the Import grid, and specifying a different destination, or you can import everything into one folder, then use drag-and-drop in LR with different selections of photos into various folders you create within LR’s Library module folder panel.  As long as you do the folder creating and photo moving within LR then LR will know where the photos have been moved to.
    What I do is move the photos into multiple folders on the card, itself, outside of LR, using Explorer’s thumbnail previews to guide me, then drag-and-drop those folders to their final destination on my hard drive still outside of LR, then do an Add Import, by dragging and dropping those folders onto LR Library’s central area, so that’s another way.

  • Can this be done with css rollovers?

    Hi,
       I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I understand the basics of css rollovers where you change the background image position up or down but the text used will still end up being a common font that will suit every pc. What I'd like to do is use an uncommon font in my navigation bar. I made an image in photoshop that had two versions of a word like home for example one on top of the other like you would for a css rollover but once I created a link I had the link color border around the image, so it didn't work. Here is a link to a website that is similar to what I'm trying to do http://www.inksmithtattoo.com/. Look at the navigation, can this be done using css rollovers? If not how do you think it was done? Is there a way to use uncommon fonts in a navigation bar? I even did some research on using Dreamweavers hotspot function but found that there were issues in using it for navigation. I'm getting pretty familar with Dreamweaver but I'm not that good at coding so if anyone does have any ideas please include some keywords that I can google and read more about what your trying to say, links to the info would be even better but I realize that if your as busy as I am you can't take that kind of time.
    Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you to all,  dluthier

    That site is using images only. It is not a text based link:
    here is the css they are using:
    #navAbout a {
    -moz-background-clip:border;
    -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
    -moz-background-origin:padding;
    background:transparent url(../_img/navAbout-Home.gif) no-repeat scroll 0 0;
    left:473px;
    top:318px;
    As you can see it is an image only. See the attachment with this post. Also since it is a background image it won't show up if you right click on the so seemed text
    Please install firebug or webdeveloper plugin if on Firefox and you will be able to inspect the elements and know what exactly they are.
    Hope it helps
    Regards,

  • Form Validation - Can this be done?

    I have a form with several dropdown menus.
    One dropdown menu has two options yes - no
    Depending on which option is selected, i want the following
    'text' field to
    either be greyed out (if 'no' is selected) or editable (if
    'yes' is
    selected).
    Can this be done and if so, how?
    Thanks

    Hi Paul
    Just tried your code and it does disable the text box no
    matter what was
    selected from the previous dropdown.
    How do i get the code to only disable the text box if the
    dropdown has a
    particular vaue? i.e. "no"
    it would also be great if you could point me in the right
    direction
    regarding the use of css to grey the text box out.
    Much Appreciated.

  • I have Firefox 28.0 and need Checkbox mate, but it won't sync, can this be done?

    I have Firefox 28.0 and need Checkbox mate, but it won't sync, can this be done?

    Sorry, I am not familiar with how that extension stores its settings or data, but most extensions needed to be edited or code added to make use of Firefox' ability to Sync extensions and their preferences and data.
    You need to contact the developer of that extension and suggest that feature be added. Mozilla builds the API and framework for syncing of extensions, it is up to each extension developer to make use of what Mozilla provided.

    Can this be done using a Spry dataset that can be changed
