How to move pictures from Photoshop Elements 3 to 12

I recently got a new computer.  On the old one I had Photoshop Elements 3.0; on the new one I have PE 12.  Using Adobe's "Chat" line I asked this question and they told me it couldn't be done - I was SOL.  I can't believe there isn't some way to move these pictures to the new program.  Has anyone had any experience with this?  Is there some workaround available to allow me to move my pictures between these two versions? 
I am very disappointed with the poor support from Adobe.

Hatstead-
Thank you for your reply.  The link you provided was helpful but while it addresses catalog conversions, it doesn't specifically address moving pictures between two different computers.  I'm still in mystery as to exactly what I should copy from my old computer and where I should paste it in my new computer.  This is a complicated process and I'm afraid I'm going to start it, make a mistake and wind up in even more of a pickle. 
And by the way, I'm still incredulous that Adobe is so unsupportive in this matter.  Their tech told me it was not possible to move my pictures from PSE3 to PSE12; which is apparently not true.  I think Adobe's customers deserve better treatment.

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

    Hi Raymond,
    I would advise you to buy the bundle package of Premiere and Photoshop Elements 13 which cost 149 $ but due to online promotions the price right now is 119 $.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

    I believe you just need to purchase the upgrade.  I don't think there is any additional discount with upgrade pricing, meaning you don't also get a student version discount with an already discounted upgrade purchase.  As far as versions go, there is no difference between a regular and a student version... the difference is in the licensing.

    Word cannot store pictures - do you mean, how to use the photos in your iPhoto Library in Word documents?
    Use the Media Browser in Word - when you select to insert a photo, you can open the Media Browser like this and browse your photo libraries - iPhoto, Aperture, ...

  • How do you move collections from Photoshop Elements 5.0 to Photoshop Elements 13?

    I have an old laptop with Photoshop elements 5.0 and wanted to move that program to my newer PC but the program was too old so I bought and loaded Photoshop Elements 13 on my PC.  To import my photos from the 5.0 I did a full backup on a flash drive and then loaded the pictures to the PC with 13.  The pictures are there but none of my collections from 5.0. I read the manual and said I was supposed to be prompted to convert old catalogs.  I was never prompted and do not know how to transfer my collections in my catalog from 5.0 to the 13.

    What you are doing is not only to install a newer version of PSE, it's also to migrate to a new computer.
    The general solution is to do a full organizer backup on an external drive and do an organizer restore to the new computer (or new drive).
    Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
    The problem is that since PSE5 is an old version working with a different database engine, you must first use a conversion utility to create a PSE13 version.

    So read that paper carefully, do the backup restore and conversion as described.

  • How do I remove a picture from Photoshop Elements 9 editor?

    I can't remove a picture from the Photoshop Elements 9 editor.  I am using an imac with the Lion operating system.  I have tried to close the picture, but everytime I open the editor from iphoto to do more advanced editing than is possible in iphoto the picture is still there.  Can anyone help with this BIG PROBLEM?  Please response directly to my e-mail.  Thank you.

    This is a quirk with the Elements editor and lion's feature for reopening saved windows. If you go to system prefs>general and turn off Restore Windows when quitting and reopening apps it will stop happening. See this thread for more:

    Hi,
    I purchased and Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 from a garage sale and have downloaded the software onto my computer.

I have registered the photoshop with adobe .com, but I can't find any information that is helpful concerning my being unable to send the pictures to any source. Am I missing something?

    I really don't want all my daughter's iPhone selfies in our family Photo library, but I'd like to be able to move/copy some pictures from our family vacation from her library to mine.  Can I do that with the new Photos?  Is there a setting somewhere that will automatically import her iPhone pictures into her Photos library when her phone is plugged into our family Mac?

    The app will import to the Library that's open, so make sure hers is open.
    Currently there is no way rot move between libraries except by exporting from one and importing to the other.

    Do you have the desktop app for Dropbox?  It should show as a folder(s) on your computer - open it and create new folder (if you want) for your Verizon cloud stuff.  I'm not finding an easy way to "Select All" of my images - I can select a few at a time and download a zip file (in my browser, which downloads to the Downoads folder), which I can then move over to my Dropbox.
    You could temporarily set your Dropbox folder as the downloads default ... and save a step.  But getting info off the cloud seems to be a tedious process.  I don't use it much, and prefer Google drive.

  • How to back up from Photoshop Elements 8 to Revel

    My photos were backed up from PSE 8 to the Elements backup on photoshop.com.  Now they have been automatically moved to Revel.  How do I back up more photos from PSE 8 to Revel?  When I try to do a backup from PSE 8 it connects to the old photoshop.com backup.

    It sounds like you want to get more of your files onto Revel but are not sure how to since you can not save from Elements to Photoshop.com anymore and since Elements 8 does not communicate with Revel.   What you can do now it upload your photos to Revel directly from your Mac or PC. If you have a Mac, you can download the Revel app and upload from your Mac. If you have a PC, you can upload via a web browser at adoberevel.com. If you upgrade to Elements 11, you will have the ability to upload to Revel from Elements if you choose (it is not quite the same as the sync, but allows upload to or download from Revel) See the link below for more details.  I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further issues.

  • Move tags from photoshop elements 10 to photoshop elements 13

    I have thousand of pictures all tagged with people, places, events in PE 10.  Just got PE 13.  When I bring in pictures the tags go under Keywords under Importated Keyword Tags and can't be moved to People Tags; Places Tags; Event tags.
    Is there a way to get them to come in as imported Tags?

    Is there a way to get them to come in as imported Tags?
    If you 'bring in' pictures by re-importing them in a new empty catalog, the organizer will find the tags recorded in the picture files themselves. It will not find the keyword/categories which are recorded in the catalog... unless you have saved that hierarchy before, which I'll explain later.
    - If you install PSE13 on the same computer, you don't reimport your picture files. You simply agree to the conversion proposal in the installation process. A new catalog is created including everything in the keyword/categories hierarchy and your albums, stacks, version sets etc. If you don't agree at installation time, you can always use the catalog manager later to convert any older catalog.
    - if you install on another computer, use the backup/restore method. Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
    - If for some reason you choose to re-import your files after using the 'write metadata to files' function, save your categories hierarchy in a text file : small drop-down menu in the title bar of the keywords panel. Create the new empty catalog in the new PSE version, and use the same drop-down menu to restore the hierarchy. Then you can import your picture files and the tags will go in the right hierarchy. Note that you won't recover albums etc like in the two previous solutions.

  • How to move picture from camera roll to existing album

    would like to organise photo albums but am struggling to move from camera roll to existing album without using laptop

    Choose Select at the upper right, select some photos, choose "Add To" at the upper left, and then select the album you wish to move the photos to.
    Note that you can only move photos to albums that you created on the iPad. Also note that the photo will remain in the Camera Roll, only a pointer to the photo is moved to the album.
