How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12?

How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12? Do I restore from a backup?  I have over 12,000 pics ( a good portion with multiple versions) and don't want to lose captions and metadata. Thank you in advance for your help.

If this is on the same computer just install PSE 12. It should find your old catalog and upgrade it to PSE 12. If for some reason it doesn't, then go to file>manage catalogs, find your old catalog and tell PSE 12 to convert it.
If this is a new computer, then yes, full backup and restore.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • How do I get my photos from Elements 11 into a file folder.

    How do I get my photos from Elemtnts 11 into a file folder.  I am trying to use Blurb to make a travel book but because of the number of photos I have them in groups and want them to stay in groups for the book.  Unfortunately the photos in each grouping are all over the place and will be definitely difficult and time consuming to bring into Blurb.

    Thank you.  I tried this before I wrote the question as the photos had just disappeared!
      I was very nervous to try this again but did with some junk photos and after much trial and error - it worked!  I'm not a real pro as you can tell and appreciate your help.

  • How do i get a photo from LR to my iphone   thank you    joanlvh

    how do I get a photo from LR to my iphone    thank you   joanlvh

    In iTunes you can choose to use a folder for photos rather than iPhoto.
    I have a folder in Pictures called iPhone, and I export to subfolders of this. These subfolders become albums in the Photos application.
    I have a preset setup to give me 760 long edge photos, sRGB at quality 80.
    If you want to be even lazier about it, you could set up an Export Preset folder called iPhone and create a preset for each folder. So you could make a preset called Friends that exports to the subfolder Friends. (this is then an album called Friends on the iPhone)
    Export the photos you want on the iPhone and then sync via iTunes.

    How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

    To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
    File > Export > Version/Originals
    Then use "Filename > Sequential"
    or "Filename > Album name with index"

  • Hi how do i get my photos from my iphoen4s on to my mac?

    Hi how do i get my photos from my iphone to my imac

    Sorry this wasn't mentioned before, but you need to go to iPhoto Preferences. When iPhoto is open, click on the word "iPhoto" in the menu bar to open the contextual menu. Go down and click on "Preferences". In the "General" tab of preferences (see screenshot below) look at the bottom line and for the drop down titled "Connecting camera opens" choose "No application".
    Now iPhoto will no longer automatically open when you plug in your iPhone and you can move them to your computer wherever you want using Image Capture or Preview or however you want.

  • I had photoshop 11, i now have elements 13. how do i get the photos from elements 11 to elements 13 in one easy step

    I had elements 11 and I now have a new pc and elements 13. how do I get the photos from 11 ne easy step?

    When you open the File menu, you should have 19 options, including 'Manage catalogs, Ctrl+Maj+C'.
    All options should be available (not grayed out).
    Using the 'Manage catalogs' option should open a new dialog.
    In the white panel on the bottom you should find one or several catalogs found by the Organizer.
    In the upper right part, two buttons : Open and Convert.
    Click on 'Convert' which should open a new dialog allowing you to find the catalog to convert. The organizer should find most older catalogs in the list on the bottom. If you don't see your catalog to convert, you can tick the checkboxes to 'show previously converted catalogs' or to browse to their location.
    Highlight the catalog to convert and click the convert button.

    My IMac died,  we bought a new one . how can I get my photos from my iPad to my new computer? (iPad and iPhone are my only backups)

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup.

  • How do I get my photos from my old iphone 4 onto my new iphone 5c?

    How do I get my photos from my old ipone 4 onto my new ipone 5c?

    Do you still have the old iPhone? If so, one option would be to import the photos to a computer iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer and then sync them from the computer to the new phone iTunes: Syncing photos
    That is a number of steps but one advantage of doing that is that you then have a copy on the computer where they are safe in the event of loss of the phone, hardware problem or other things that can happen to the phone.
    The other option is by a backup and restore, assuming you still have the old phone or that you did a backup when you had it. A possible disadvantage is that the restore is complete -- i.e., it will overwrite anything you have already added to the new phone such as new photos. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    A third option would be a 3rd party app installed on each the old and new phone; one example is http://www.photosync-app.com
