How do I transfer edited photos from Roxio PhotoShow 5 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7?

Question

I have done quite a lot of editing, cropping, etc. on photos in my Roxio PhotoShow 5 and now that I have purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 I want to transfer the edits not just the original pics. Does anyone know how to do this? Also, can I transfer slide shows from one program to the other? Do I have to burn and then upload into PSE7?

Definitely helpful.
Do the WMV or AVI option. I'd try both, and compare the quality in Windows Media Player. Basically, either format should work in Photoshop Elements, but you really want to use the best quality video to start with, because you lose quality each time you re-export a video file (that's just the way re-saving compressed video works in any application).
Once you have a good quality video, and you want to add onto that slide show in Photoshop Elements, open the Slide Show Editor and click the Add Media button at the top to bring it in.
Also, the "PhotoShow File" option might work, but I think you'd have to figure out how to convert it into something Elements can work with. One advantage is that you'd most likely be preserving the quality of the original show. If you're interested in pursuing this option, and you can upload the resulting file(s) made when using that option to a website or e-mail them to me, I could take a look to see whether this can be done.
