A catalog backup created by the organizer is a folder containing many files and sub-directories. It contains everything to restore both your 'catalog' and your media files.
Those files are mainly renamed version of each media files (also of the xmp sidecar files which contain metadata changes), but two files are very important:
- the catalog.buc is a renamed copy of the sqlite database : catalog.pse12db. You could rename it back to recover the database, but normally only the restore process uses it.
- the backup.tly file contains everything necessary to re-create your folder tree and rename your media files to their original names. It's the important file the backup process searches for before starting the restore. Note that when you start the backup process and browse to the catalog backup location, you may not see the backup.tly file immediately, but only after a few seconds. As soon as that file is displayed in the dialog, your can start the restore.

  • Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it

    Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it?

    Googled for an instruction sheet.  Got the following.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html
    and
    https;//helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-installation-errors.html
    (Don't know why the second one didn't turn into a link, that's the url that printed out at the bottom of the page)
    In any case it doesn't matter.  I returned it to the store where I bought it.
    Rule #1; Don't use a product if the people who produce that product (software, hardware, etc.) don't properly support it.
    User forums and\or chat lines, are useful and may help.  But!  They do not constitute proper support (not for installation purposes anyway).

  • How to download Photoshop Elements 11 after entering redemption code and getting serial number?

    I registered my Photoshop Elements 11 and have a serial number.

    The box is exactly the size of a CD.

    Did you not look at the link in the thread in my last post, Lorna?
    When you buy software it's your responsibility to keep the media against
    future reinstallations, whether you purchase via download or on disc. If
    you registered your software, for PSE 9 you may still find a download
    link in your adobe store account, if you purchased PSE that way, also.

  • How to start Photoshop Elements programme?

    How to start Photoshop Elements programme? The feilure message is - The action you have requested could not be completed because the application is not responding. It may still be loading or waiting for a response from you.

    The download assistant is just to help you download PSE. However, downloading is not installing. Look for the actual PSE file, which will be ins some kind of compressed format. In windows, right-click it and choose Extract All. On a mac, double click the .dmg file to mount it, then double click the mounted file to see its contents.

  • Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

    Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

    The tutorial courses that got me going were on lynda.com.   Both the PE and PrE courses are taught by instructors that know the software and how to teach on line. 
    The difference between random turtorials and a course is organization.  A course has a beginning, or foundation and builds skills one at a time.  Random tutorials like on Adobe TV or YouTube can be very good but they don't have the sequential skill building process.
    Many of the Adobe TV tutorials are chapters provided by lynda.com as part of their marketing program.  If you like them, you can pay the $25 a month for the full course work.     

  • How to correctly import PhotoShop Elements catalog?

    I have a PhotoShop Elements with >12,000 images.  I have keywords assigned and some are rated.
    My computer has gone from WinXP to Win7.  I have also had several different hard drive upgrades.
    I currently have C:, D:, E: as available hard drives and F: and G: as Optical drives.
    When I import, it has the correct number of photos, but thinks that everything is on F:.  I believe that the E: drive used to be a different volume number previously.
    I can manually refind every folder, but that will be very time consuming as I have around 100 folders.
    Is there some way to say "Use E: instead of F:"?
    Thanks,
    Dean

    Why not backup the PSE catalog and then reimport it into a single drive/folder. then you shoudl have a clean process

  • How to reinstall Photoshop Elements without losing the catalog?

    Hello all,
    I find myself in an awkward situation.
    For a reason unknown, it seems an essential file for Photoshop Organizer has been deleted. I suspect a disk cleanup utility to have been a bit overzealous. Anyway the harm is done.
    When I try to start Organizer I get a message telling me that it can't start cause "DetectionUtils.dll" can not be found. The reinstallation of this application could correct this problem". Starting Editor is not a problem however.
    I wanted to try out reinstalling Photoshop Elements but when I launch the installation the only option I have is uninstalling Photoshop as the instal program just like Windows considers Photoshop is still installed on my computer.
    My catalog is huge: I have tagged 26 000+ photos and videos. I don't want to lose it. Of course, I have backups but I want to get it back into Photoshop.
    So what are my options? How can I manage to get Photoshop 8.0 working again with my catalog?
    The simplest solution would be to be able to download the Detectionutils.dll file and install it but where can I download it and where do I save it?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Did an uninstall and a reinstall, Elements worked again and I got my Catalog back!
    Thanks a lot for the quick answer dj_paige!

  • Possible to import Photoshop Elements 8 Catalog into Lightroom?

    Is it possibel to import a catalog from Photoshop Elements 8 into the latest version of Lightroom?  I've kind of outgrown some of Element's functionality and I'd like to take Lightroom for a spin.  However, it would be useless if it won't import my complex set of albums, tags, etc.

    Lightroom 2 cannot convert PSE8 catalogs. (Maybe Lightroom 3 will do so, but no one really knows...)
    You can do a partial import. Using psedbtool, write your metadata to the photo files, then import the individual photos into Lightroom 2. You will lose collection membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

  • How to use Photoshop Elements 11 Image Tags in Lightroom 4.4

    Hello,
    I would like to filter my Lightroom catalog by people in the photo. This could be done manually in Lightroom using metadata, however, Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser has an auto-analyse feature that does this automatically and creates Image Tags for all identified people. How do I use the Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser Image Tags in Lightroom 4.4?
    I have tried:
    Created image tags for identified people. These are listed in the Image Tags section of the main workspace and can be used within Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser to filter on people using Search and People features.
    Updated metadata within Lightroom
    Searched for tags in all metadata fields using Library Filters
    I have been unable to find any mention of these Image Tags in the file metadata - perhaps they only exist in the Photoshop Elements 11 Catalog? If so, does anybody have a best practice for transferring this information between Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4.4?
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    Yes you can open multiple images into PSE from LR. But actually there is no great advantage in using Lightroom for Photomerge as the export copies are already created in the Library but the saved copy will be the merged version which LR will know nothing about, and which would need to be imported to the library separately.
    I would personally start from Expert Mode in PSE11 and then use:
    File >> Open
    Navigate directly to the folder and select the images you want and click open.
    If they are raw files they will open up in camera raw and will already have the light room adjustments included, if the metadata has been saved to file in Lightroom.
    Click select all (top left) and then ensure the image depth is set to 8 bits using the drop down menu at the bottom of the dialog. Then click the open images button (bottom right) to send them all into PSE.

  • How to troubleshoot photoshop elements 11 on macbook pro retina?

    I'm having a bit of a nightmare. I can't back up My Catalog because it is nowhere to be found. My photographs are copied onto Pictures but why can't I see the My Catalog with all the media on my PSE11? Should I uninstall PSE11 first and how to do that on MBP? Am I able to reinstall PSE11 without a CD drive? Will I lose all my albums or is there a way of keeping them somewhere?
    I've already lost many photographs when a WD ext drive got a mechanical failure and have had to buy a new apple when my previous one got more and more unstable at the time of the Mavericks upgrade, so I'm quite nervous about this.
    Thanks to anyone who could help.
