How do I convert an elements 4 catalog to elements 13?

Elements 13 seems to use a different extension and doesn't recognize my existing catalogs

You may need to try and do it manually. From the Organizer menu:
File >> Manage Catalogs
Then click the convert button
If the earlier catalog is not listed you will need to click the button marked Find More Catalogs and then navigate to your psa file. The attached link gives further information about the database differences (PSE4 was a Microsoft Access database) and default locations.

  • How do I convert Raw to Jpeg with Elements 9?

    I just installed Elements 9. I set my camera Panasonic G2 to Raw and Standard and could not find the Raw with Elements open, I could only find them in the DCIM folder and send them to My Documents. There has to be an easier way.
    My other question, after I made some adjustments in Raw, I wanted to convert and save them in Jpeg to do further adjustments in PSE.  There doesn't seem be to be this option to do that. I have Silkypix, which works fine, but would prefer to do everything with the same software.Raw was the main reason I bought PSE 9.

  • How do you convert a Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog to Photoshop Elements 13.0 catalog?

    I have a lot of photographs with metadata and tags in Photoshop Album version 2.0 and I want to pull thee images, metadata, and tags into Photoshop Elements version 13.0 on a Windows 7 computer. Searching the web I found that this has to be done with the convert feature.  I tried File, Manage Catalogs, Convert and point to the folder holding my Photo Project Catalog.psa file, but nothing happens. It does not apparently see the .psa file.  How do I get my .psa catalog migrated into Elements 13?

    Hi,
    See if this helps.

    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:

  • How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11? [was:transfering catalogs]

    How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11?

    It depends...
    If you are still on the same computer and OS, the Organizer in PSE11 (or PSE12) will be able to convert the old catalog to its own format, while keeping the old catalog unchanged.
    If you are changing computer, drive or OS, the best method is via a full backup and restore:

  • How do i convert a slideshow made in premiere elements 11 to premiere elements 12

    how do i convert a slideshow made in premiere elements 11 to premiere elements 12

    rfgold17
    Given that you have Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 12 on the same computer....
    1. Know the name of the Elements Organizer 11 catalog (See Elements Organizer 11 File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager).
    Close out of there.
    2. Open the Elements Organizer 12, accessed from Premiere Elements 12.
    3. In the Elements Organizer 12, go to File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager and click on the Convert button in the Catalog Manager dialog.
    4. In the Convert Catalog dialog that appears, look for the name of your Elements Organizer 11 catalog, select it, and then hit the Convert command at the bottom of that Convert Catalog dialog.
    5. From that point onward, follow the messages that you get from the program. (If you have any problems, I will go into deeper details.)
    When all is done, you will have your Elements Organizer 11 catalog opened in Elements Organizer 12 where it will remain in use until you switch to another catalog there. Your Elements Organizer 11 will remain as it was in Elements Organizer 11. Moving forward, what you do in the converted catalog in Elements Organizer 12 will not affect the Elements Organizer 11 and vice versa.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the above and if it worked for you.
    Thank you.

    i am on windows 8 platform, i used adobe elements to work on my image - the output is in dng format, how do i convert this to jpg format?

    When you make a DNG that's like making another raw file, so you will need to convert the DNG file just like your original raw. Don't use the Save button in the raw converter. That's just a link to the DNG converter. Normally you would click Open instead and then save in the editor as a jpg or other image format of your choice.

  • How do I convert time lapse still images into a video in Premire Elements 13?

    I have 250 images taken at 15 second intervals that I want to convert to a video. I am not having any luck finding how to get elements to put the single pictures together. After I import the images I can play them but have not been able to shorten the time each still plays. So It is like a slide shot and not time lapse.

  • How do I convert a 1-D array of cluster of 5 elements into a 2-D array of numbers? (history data from a chart)

    Hello,
    in my vi I have a chart with 5 Plots displaying measurement data.
    The user should be able to save all the history data from the chart at anytime. (e.g. the user watches the chart and some event happens, then he presses a "save"-button)
    I know, that I can read out the history data with a property node. That is not the problem. The problem is, how do I handle the data? The type of the history data is a 1-D array of cluster of 5 elements.
    I have to convert that data somehow into a 2 D-array of numbers or strings, so that I can easily save it in a text-file.
    How do I convert a 1-D array of cluster of 5 elements into a 2-D array of numbers?

    thank you for the quick response and the easy solution.
    Look what I did in the meantime. I solved the problem too, but muuuch more complicate :-)
    And I have converted the numbers to strings, so that I can easily write them into a spreasheet file.

  • How do I create a catalog in elements organizer?

    How do I create a catalog in elements organizer.  I keep getting the error message Catalog could not be opened, an internal programming error has occurred.

    Which operating system are you running on?
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
    Try Holding down the shift key while to start the organizer - that should bring up the Catalog Manager.
    Click on the New button (top right)
    Give it a name and click ok
    If it still crashes, you may need to re-install the software.

  • How do i convert a RAW photo to JPEG in elements 12??? Thanks for any help!

    How can i convert a RAW photo to JPEG using Elements 12??

    In general, you open and edit the RAW photo in Adobe Camera RAW, and then either
    click on Done and then in the Organizer, FIle->Export->As New File and select JPG
    click on Open and then in the Editor do a File->Save As and select JPG
    You would NOT want to convert an un-edited RAW to a JPG in general, as you would lose all the benefits of RAW (superior image quality) and while retaining all of the disadvantages of RAW (larger file size, extra steps needed, specialized software needed)

  • I can't locate my catalog in Elements 8.0 to convert to 10.0

    I've watched the tutorial to convert my catalog but I don't have anything that remotely resembles the Organizer on my screen.  When I go to File, there is no catalog.  I upgraded to Elements 10.0 and also use Lightroom but chose to maintain Elements to do things that Lightroom can't like layers.  I don't want all the organization that I've done on my old photos to disappear and don't want to import my Lightroom catalog into Elements.  What am I doing wrong?  Where would the Elements catalog file reside on my drive and what would the file extension be?  I did a search on Catalog and came up empty.  I'm using Mac with Lion OS.

    Thanks for trying.  I was on a Chat with someone from the Adobe team and I got no help whatsoever.  Basically his response was that I needed to reimport all my phoios.  That means I lose all my keywording and editng.  What's the point?  Ok, I'm just ranting.  Really, thanks for all efforts!
    Did you see my remark about Mac PSE8 having Bridge and not Organizer ? Since nobody corrected me, I am confident that you can't find a catalog, which is only an Organizer feature. As far as I know, Bridge does not store your keywords, only thumbnails. So your keywords must have been saved within your media files themselves. That means that if you re-import those files in an Organizer catalog, you'll get them back. The advice to reimport is a sound one.
    Just note that with the Organizer, it is a good idea to use the 'Write metadata to files' feature in the file menu, that is an additional way to backup your tagging work and it makes your tagging available to non Adobe softwares.

    The D750 isn't yet supported. It may be a few weeks before Adobe provides an update for the latest versions of Photoshop/Elements. Maybe October/November.
    They usually provide a pre-release version a few weeks beforehand (any day now, hopefully), but AFAIK they don't usually work on Photoshop Elements.
