Find Photoshop Elements 5 Catalog file

My computer crashed and was reformated and I had to re-install PE5 online and now i don't know how to import
my catalog back in. I am running Windows XP Professional.
Can someone tell me how to do this.
thanks

I was looking for catalog files and the ones i found were in c:programs/adobe/photoshopelements5/shared_assets/database/odbc
There is My Catalog.psa and My Catalog-undo.psa, which were created in 2006 and modified in 2010, which is when i ren-installed elements.
I am not sure if this is what i should be looking for or not as i tried to open them in elements in file and then catalog and then open and nothing happens.

HT2518 I don't have .psd files but how do I migrate my Photoshop Elements catalog with tags from Windows

I don't have .psd files but how do I migrate my Photoshop Elements catalog with tags from Windows?

That's really disappointing, I purchased the download version.
I refuse to pay another £55
Thanks for your help anyway

How can I transfer my Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from my pc to my mac?

What is the best way to move a Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from a pc to a mac?

You do know the mac version of PSE has no Organizer?
You can use file>Write Tags and Properties to File(s) on your files in the organizer before sending them to your mac to write the tags into the file's metadata, which can be read by Bridge, iphoto, aperture, etc. on the mac. (It doesn't work for raw files and it doesn't always work, so do a couple of test files first.) You'll need to make tags for categories and albums, too, in order to be able to sort by those criteria again.

Option to Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog not available (LR5, PSE 12, Win 8)

Hi there. I have trial versions of both Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.2 (trial licenses are both still active (i.e. not expired)). I'm looking to import my PSE12 catalog into Lightroom before I plunk down the money to buy it.
I cannot, however, locate the "File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog" option in LR5.
I may have originally installed LR 5 before installing PSE 12. So I uninstalled LR5 and reinstalled it. Still no luck - the option isn't there.
Any other ways to force LR5 to look for the PSE 12 catalog? Will LR5 even recognize a PSE12 catalog?
Your help is greatly appreciated - thanks!
Note: Using Win 8.1

Unfortunately, there is no doubt that the conversion of PSE12 catalogs has been omitted. It's not the first time : I also had to wait for LR4 to be able to convert PSE11 files. We may hope that Adobe will acknowledge the fact, and possibly solve the problem for future versions of PSE.
Of course, it's not a priority for Adobe: the ability to convert PSE catalogs is mainly a sales argument to make the jump from the PSE Organizer to LR easier. Not so many cases, and anyway you can always write metadata to files in PSE and import later in LR. After the jump to LR, you rarely have more PSE catalogs to convert.
However, maintaining misleading update notes by Adobe is not a good point in favour of LR. I do consider that the ability for LR to convert PSE catalog was and still is a very smart demonstration of the ability to deal with database organizational systems. I also consider that once that conversion process is mastered, the update process for each new Elements version is not such a big deal.

Import multiple Photoshop Elements catalogs

Hello folks,
I just imported one Photoshop Elements catalog from PSE6.0 into LR4 using "File:Update PSE catalog ...". That worked well.
As I'm using multiple PSE catalogs I then wanted to import the next one into LR4.
So I switched to the 2nd catalog in PSE to make it the current catalog in PSE and tried to follow the same procedure in LR4.
Alas, the menu entry "File:Update PSE catalog ..." in LR4 is now grayed out, so that I can't import the 2nd PSE catalog.
That would make it pointless to move from PSE to LR4.
Can it be that LR4 assumes, having imported one PSE catalog is enough? If yes, is there any way to overcome that?
My platform: W'7 64bit, PSE6.0, LR4.0, installs in German language, PSE catalogs located in a user selected folder
Thanks a lot in advance,
OMB
EDIT: I finally found out how to overcome that limitation myself:
1. Close LR4
2. Open LR preferences file "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs" in a text editor
2.a You'd better make a backup copy of that file before playing with it
3. Locate the "Adobe_successfulUpgrades******" entry - in my case it started in line 5
4. Delete that entry; important: make sure to delete all lines of this entry: the ones ending on a backslash and the closing ",
5. Save and reopen LR4 -> the disabled menu entry is now available again

The CSH file simply stores a Custom Shape for Photoshop to re-use.
By its nature you can only have one active at any one time but you can view them all together in the drop-down from the Options Bar or in the Preset Manager.

Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog option is missing

The File Menu/Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog is missing on my version of LR5. I've followed the suggested procedure to update the preferences files for both Elements 12 and Lightroom 5, but LR5 still does not recognize that I have an existing Elements 12 catalog. I assume if it did the option would now be available?
This was the instruction I tried:

Cannot find Photoshop Elements 11.0,exe

I made a mistake by deleting Photoshop Elements 11. I did it not the proper way. Then I tried to instal Photoshop Element over and over again but after installing I cannot open the Welcome screen because a pop up screen appears: I cannot find Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe.
However I can start the program by using 'Photoshop Elements Editor' but when started the program I cannot use 'Organizer'!

Today I solved the problem.
1. Every time I removed Photoshop Elements 11.0. I used Revo Uninstaller. After cleaning with Ccleaner and restart the pc I installed Photoshop Elements again. And the samen procedure again (4 times).
2. This time I used Windows 7 software to remove Photoshop Elements 11.0. And Premiere Elements 11.0 as well. (I use Premiere Elements 12.0).
3. Cleaning with Ccleaner, restart pc and reinstal Photoshop Elements 11.0.
4. All necessary files are installed now and PE11.0 works!
Thanks for trying helping me out.
Best wishes, Cees

'Upgrade Photoshop Elements catalog' menu item missing

Hi,
I have been using PSE for many years and recently upgraded to PSE8 (and PRE8). In addition, I started playing with the LR3 Beta and realized that I wanted to migrate LR from PSE. I just bought LR3 and now want to import my PSE8 catalog into LR3. The Lightroom Help tells me that I should go to File - Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog (while in Library module), but this menu item is not showing up in my Lightroom... Is my LR3 not detecting my PSE8 catalog installation? How can I fix this?
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

LR5 crashes when trying "Update Photoshop Elements Catalog" from PSE13

LR5 crashes after approx 3 minutes when trying "Update Photoshop Elements Catalog". I use PSE13, optimized and repaired several times. I get approx 10000 out of 30000 items into LR5 from PSE13

Per the user's guide, from the Library Module I: File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog
This brings up a dialog box that shows the most recently upgraded PSE catalog. Then, to quote the user's guide, "To choose a different PSE catalog, click the Elements drop-down menu."
There is no "Elements drop-down menu" within the dialog box to click on. The closest thing is an expand triangle opposite "Catalog info," but when clicked, that only displays more detail about the source PSE catalog I have already upgraded. There doesn't seem to be any way to browse to or select a second PSE catalog — which is what I'm trying to do.

View Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog with iPad?

I have 43K images in my Adobe Photoshop Premier v10 catalog...all of which have been organized into Albums (by year), rated (0-5 stars), and tagged with multiple keywords.
My Q is this: is there an iPhone/iPad app which can connect to my NAS server or laptop and understand this Adobe Photoshop Elements cataloging for displaying images??
I want to know how my iPhone/iPad can become a device to showcase my images, and would love to show "all photos of Dad", or "Xmas 2012 album", etc...
Thoughts?
Thanks
Mike

No. If you use windows you can send PSE albums to your ipad via itunes, but there isn't an app that can understand an organizer catalog per se.

How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

Sorry, not possible in PSE itself. You'd need to put your photo into the web creation software you use. If you are using an older version of PSE some versions created web albums/galleries which included an index.html page, but that's as much as PSE does. There's nothing like that in PSE 12 since Adobe wants you to use Revel for photo sharing now.

If you registered your copy with adobe, you may find download links by going to the main page of adobe.com and clicking on My Adobe and working through the links there. If they're still available there, save the downloads this time, don't just run them, since adobe only makes those available for about 3 years.

Why Photoshop Elements 11 File-Export menu item disabled?

why is Photoshop Elements 11 File-Export menu item disabled?
To Dup:
bring up the tool and a photoshop project file
ensure my license is up to date
ensure this tool is updated
File Export is disabled
try may other files, get same result

I have no idea what it has ever been used for (Save As usually being the route to export to a different format), but it exists and is greyed out in PSE12 as well. I suspect a hangover from an old version.
