File location iPhoto5 vs. PS Elements

I have been using iPhoto 5 for a year. I recently bought PhotoShop Elements 4. There are things I like about each app. Here is my question for anyone who uses both:
When I plug my Nikon in to download the RAW files, which program and location is better - To open iPhoto and store the RAW files there, or open them in Bridge and start from that point?
It seems to me that if I open them in Bridge and save to a folder, but want the same pictures in iPhoto for slideshows, iDVD, etc., that I have to import the file from the PSE folder. This creates two copies of the same picture. I currently have almost 2000 photos that I have taken. So, to have 2 of each will eat up massive HD space!
Thanks for any advice/experience you can lend to this subject.

Har! Hi Lori!
Yes, I not only found ONLY the D70 "supported" officially at the Apple website, but also, a call to technical support had them scratching their heads over this issue, and they surmized that yes, a simple "s" in the end of D70 might be exactly what is giving iPhoto fits... ( go figure- it's the same exact file format!) seeing that D70s tag (vs D70) just throws iPhoto a curveball. You'd think it would be more "intelligent" than that. Oh well. Guess I have to wait for an iPhoto update to use my RAW files w/iPhoto...
Maybe I'll just get a different software photo album. I need one now.
Thanks!

  • How to change \Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Encoded Files location to another drive?

    Hello. I am using Premiere Elements 12. I am not able to burn blueray disk because I have insufficient disk space. I am using SSD drive so I need to move Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Encoded Files location to another drive. How can I do this?

    tolppa
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? For now, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
    In the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disc and set the location for the category
    named Disc Encoding.
    Please let us know if that works for you.
    Thank you.

  • How to open jpg, tiff files in camera raw from elements 10 organizer

    How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

    Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is  the correct word).
    For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
    I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
    Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
    As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
    Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

  • Viewing file location in Windows explorer from within organizer. PE 10

    Does anyone know how to view a cataloged file location WITHIN  organizer Elements 10 by where the orgainzer opens up the file location in Windows Explorer (Not windows IE Explorer browser).  I know you can see the file path in the properties pane but I swear some how I clicked on a file once and Explorer opened up in organizer 10 showing the location in the file tree on the hard disk. I am using Widows 7 Home preminum with all updates.   Am I crazy?  Thanks.

      If you want to see the folder tree click the display button (near top right of Organizer) and switch to Folder Location View.
     

  • Changed file location in catalog to backup drive location

    Photoshop Elements 6 (20070910.r.377499)
    I do not know why the catalog has changed the file location of "ALL" pictures to the location on my backup drive.
    Example: K:\My Documents\My Pictures\Pets\PICT1460-1.JPG
    The actual location of the original photo is:  D:\My Documents\My Pictures\Pets\PICT1460-1.JPG
    The location of "My Pictures" is on my primary Hard Drive D:\My Documents\My Pictures\
    Why is Photoshop changing all of my 37,000+ photo thumbnails to point to my Backup Drive K:\?
    I need to correct the catalog file. How do I make the correction and stop it from happening in the future?

    I use a backup program, Retrospect 7.6, that copies selected files from my primary drive, D:\ and some from C:\ and copies them to my backup drive K:\ every night at midnight. The files are all there but I want to catalog to point to the original location on the D: drive. Can I change the catalog to reflect the original file location? I would like to have the flexibility to move the backup file location but now I HAVE TO KEEP MY PICTURES ON THE K: Drive.
    Also when new pictures show up, the program looks for them on the K: Drive.

  • Downloading pictures to specific file location

    I have a whole bunch of Kodak picture CD's that I want to download into photoshop elements 12 organizer album. My photos reside on a external hard drive so it is not the default location. I want to create a file location and tell the program where to put the photos. Right now it is putting them in the right drive in My Catalog but I want to specify a file within My catalog such as My Catalog:2013-12 xmas. Any ideas.  Thanks

    I would copy the files via your OS : explorer or finder to the desired location. Then only I would 'get photos or videos... from files or folders'. That way the photos will be where you want, and the catalog will be aware of the new location.

    Ho do I convert my Elements 5 Catalog to Elements 13 which I just purchased.  I followed one of the tutorials and converted my Elements 5 Catalog to a "pse.13db" file.  How do I get Elements 13 to recognize that converted file?  When I open Elements 13 Catalog Manager and browse to the correct location, it doesn't show the file.  Help!  Thanks

    Bumps a écrit:
    Yes - I can run both versions on my PC.  But I really would like to have all of my pictures in the same catalog.
    You can't merge catalogs (even PSE13 ones) in any PSE version (only LR can do that). So, converting catalogs is not the solution to your problem.
    Since you have PSE5 working on your computer and your images also, the solution is to 'write metadata to files in PSE5) and to re-import the images in the PSE13 catalog. That won't duplicate your image files and you'll lose albums/collections, stacks and version sets, but you'll recover tags, captions and ratings.
    To be able to re-import the files indexed in PSE5, you may have to move them to a new master folder.
    I am not sure what your problem with the conversion may be. It's quite possible that the resulting catalog.pse13db is ok and that the issue lies in the ability to open it in the PSE13 organizer.
    As stated by dj_page, double clicking on that file should open the organizer with the new catalog. You could test that by creating a dummy catalog in PSE13 and importing a small batch of photos. Locate the path of the catalog with the menu Help/system info. Copy the catalog.pse13db in another folder and the 'double click' way to open the organizer with that moved catalog database.
    For other users that may be interested in using PSE5 (issued in 2006) on newer OS, here is a useful link:

  • Error message says "the file archive part of photoshop elements 11 is missing"

    I made a purchase that included a free software bundle with Photoshop elements 11 yesterday and have now downloaded both files 5 times, followed all the information I have been able to find on the forum threads but still have the  error message
    error message says "the file archive part of photoshop elements 11 is missing"
    I am at my wits end as I really want to get this downloaded. Have been using elements 8 for years and love it but wanted to update it to 11 and this was going to be perfect but has turned into a 15 hour nightmare trying to get some where with it.
    Can anyone please help me out before I stake my pc?
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi Summer,
    The error message you are getting is indicative of the missing files for the installer to get started with the installation.
    Navigate to the location where you saved your download. If you see any files ending in ".part" then the download did not finish. ".Part" files are temporary files replaced by .7z, .exe, or .dmg when the download is complete.
    For Windows the Photoshop installer has 2 files - one with .7z extension and the other with .exe
    Make sure you have downloaded both the files in the same folder. Run the .exe file to start the installation.
    Alternatively you can try downloading the files from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
    Regards,

    When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.

  • File location and name

    If I use iPhoto to import files from my camera where are the files actually stored and how do I change the actual file name? I have figured out how to change the picture title but it does not change the file name.
    If I use iPhoto to import pictures from the hard drive do they get copied to the iPhoto file location or just linked? When I moved to the mac I created a folder named "old laptop stuff" and moved everything to that folder. I am now trying to organize all of this stuff on the mac. Can I delete the picture files from the old laptop stuff folder after using iphoto to import and organize them?

    Hi Dispatcher,
    Where are the files stored? Take a look at the screenshot.
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
    You can add titles in iPhoto, but as you found out only iPhoto sees these new titles. To do what you want you have to name the photos before importing into iPhoto. Either download to the computer with your camera software or use Image Capture (found in your Applications folder) to download the photos.
    Launch Image Capture (keep the little window open that says no camera is connected or IC will quit if you close the window)
    Go to Image Captures preferences and choose what you want to happen when a camera is connected.
    Next time a camera is connected, if you chose Image Capture to open, then IC will open and download the photos.
    Rename your photos then import them into the library
    You can choose to do it either way when you first use iPhoto (this is new in version 6)
    If you choose to copy into the library when importing, then the photos are copied into the library (iPhoto Library folder in the Finder)
    After you have imported all those folders of images, you can then delete the folder.

  • How can I find Bitlocker External Key File location?

    My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock. 
    I recently decrypted the system drive (without decrypting the data drives) and reinstalled the OS, after which my data drives required the Bitlocker recovery key to unlock. 
    However, I had "backed up" the recovery keys to my Microsoft account but now I can find only the recovery keys for the system drive. The recovery keys for the data drives cannot be found on my Microsoft account. 
    I have tried to use the "manage-bde" command at the console to obtain the recovery password but I am only getting the Numerical Password ID and the External Key File Name. Can anyone provide advice on how I can retrieve the passwords or the
    External Key File location?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ridgewood,
    As my point of viewer, the BitLocker Automatic unlock volume is also protected by BitLocker Disk Encryption. The user encrypted information is stored in the registry and volume metadata. After a user unlocks the operating system volume, BitLocker uses the
    encrypted information to unlock the data volume automatically.
    After the reinstallation of the system, the encrypted information is lost and BitLocker can’t unlock the data volume automatically.
    Every volume has own recovery key.
    As mentioned in your post, the data drive require the recovery key to unlock.
    I suggest you to double-check the OneDrive and try to find out where did you store the recovery key.
    If you can’t find the recovery key, we can’t help you to decrypt the data volume.

  • Need advice on retrieving Bitlocker Key or External Key File Location

    My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock.

    Before I had set the data drives to autounlock I had used a recovery password to unlock the drives. However, now when I try to unlock the data drives only the recovery key (which I don't have) is being requested not the password. 
    Thanks.

    Hi HMcBean,
    How did you back up the BitLocker recovery key? To local computer, flash driver or Microsoft account?
    If you backed up the recovery key to a Microsoft account, please refer to the following article to find it.

  • Windows 7 ultimate task manager can not open file location

    hi, I just re-installed the Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop several weeks ago, everything goes well until I find this error. When I open Task Manger and right click one process, then an error occurs when I click "Open File Location". It shows as
    "taskmgr.exe
    This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
    There is no any information in the windows event log about this error and I try to search online but without any solution. Could anyone help me figure this out? TIA!

    Hi,
    Since it prompts that it is related with file association, you can try fixing it.

  • Crystal Report 2008 - File Locations

    I'm running out of space on the OS partition (C drive) and want to change the default location(s) in Crystal Report so when reports are created and run,  they use space on the D drive.

    Hello,
    Not exactly clear what you want? Save your reports to your D drive would be my first guess.... If you are referring to the \temp folder then change your system Environment Variable from the default to d:\temp and also change the TMP to d:\Tmp.
    You could even set your Swap file to d drive also. I suggest you contact your IT department or search Microsoft's site on how to optimize hard drive space when it's limited. PLEASE back up everything first before making changes to your swap file location, if you don't do it right you may not be able to start windows.
    Thank you
