I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • I have just installed Photoshop Elements 13.

    Ihave a photo brought up in photo gallery that I want to edit.  I click on "open with Photoshop Elements".  Photoshop opens, but does not bring in the picture???

    Hello,
    In Photo Gallery as I click on File = open with = Photoshop Elements…..elements will open but will not bring the picture into it.  After reading your note, I clicked on File = open with = and clicked on Choose program….here there are two identical Photoshop Elements available.  I chose the second one and it works.  I am not sure why there are two and why the second one is not the default.   cannot seem to get rid of the first on and cannot make the second one the default.

  • HT4461 Hello I have just installed my license for OS v 10.6.3 and installed the upgrades on a new hard drive. I would like to upgrade to my license for Lion. How do I do this (through the Apple Store I guess). Cheers

    Hello, I have just installed my license for Mac OS v 10.6.3 and installed updates including security updates.
    I have a licence for Lion that is sitting on Apples computer somewhere.
    How do I access my account and install Lion on my machine?
    Beyond that I want to upgrade to Maverick but given I work out the first step upgrading to Maverick should be easy.
    Thanks, Julian R A

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X Lion could be purchased from the Mac App Store (and now, at the Apple Online Store). Once you purchase it, you can download it as many times as you want for free.
    Open  > Software Update, and install the most recent Mac OS X version. It should be Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer. Then, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases, log in with your Apple ID and download OS X Lion. Make a backup before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    You can upgrade to OS X Mavericks from Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer without any problem, so upgrading to OS X Lion first is a waste of time. Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks

  • I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 13. Why am I unable to access the program?

    I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 13. I think it was installed. The title shows in my 'Downloads File'. I have tried double clicking on 'install' in the downloads file. All I get is a page of data that doesn't seem to do anything. When I purchased Photoshop Elements 12 there was no problem. The apps appeared on my monitor and I went to work. What appears on my monitor for Photoshop 13 is a file picure. When I click on it I go to the Downloads File. Can anyone help me?

    I am unable to access the Photoshop Elements 13 program.

  • I just installed Photoshop elements 11. Install fine. When I clicked to open Organizer, I received a messaging indicating that it was out of date and coudl not be upgraded. How can I address/fix this?

    Thank you for the replies. I'm afraid neither one helped.
    kglad, I never get to any error code so your link can't help.
    Jeff, I looked at your link and
    a) again, I never make it to an error code
    b) I'm definitely connected to the internet
    c) I can access secure sites; I tried connecting with the firewall disabled and the same thing happened, so I don't believe it's a firewall issue.
    d) I don't understand the checking host sites - this is far too complicated for a novice user. It should not be this difficult to get a software running. I don't want to mess with these kinds of settings.
    e) I followed the steps for the global sign in root CA and my screen looks the same as the picture here.
    I can't activate the software offline as there is no option to generate a response code when I click on having trouble connecting to the internet. All I get is a prompt to change my password.
    If the problem were simply connectivity from my computer, then why does the box completely freeze? Can't cancel, can't click on the little X to close it, can't right click on the box to close it. I have to reboot every single time. I know others have had the same problem and I haven't found any answers that I could apply.
    I don't understand for the life of me why Adobe does not have TELEPHONE customer support. I have spent 2 days on this, this is crazy.

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 12 upgrade [from Elements 9]. Can I uninstall Elements 9 without any negative effects?

    yes, you can deactivate (help>deactivate) and uninstall.
    you do/did not even need to have pse 9 installed before installing your ps12 upgrade.  if it's not installed you will be prompted for the pse 9 serial number.

  • Hi there Can you please help I have just downloaded photoshop elements editor 10

    Just bought photoshop elements 10 - editor and did not realise it does not include organiser ... Is it possible to upgrade?

    Upgrades for Mac App Store versions are only normally available for the current version although PSE11 is not on the store AFAIK.
    It may be worth contacting Adobe to see if they can offer anything. See this FAQ for more information:

  • Having trouble installing Photoshop  Elements 13. [was: I wonder if somehow I might have went to Creative cloud because something crossed my screen, but I am not used to doing this so]

    I could really use Customer Service help. I received Photoshop Elements as a gift for Christmas...I waiting until i got a new laptop so that I could use that as i was having trouble with older computer. However, I am having trouble installing the software...I swear the dvd added the programs, and I saw them in files explorer i think, but then I cannot find or I was not even able to add the serial number to my knowledge, because it was blank...no keystrokes were shown...and i don't see the program anywhere...Could I have down something wrong and it is somewhere in the cloud?

    Thank you. That's what I first thought that I didn't need to do anything
    but install from the dvd drive. However after the agreement, it asks me to
    sign in at adobe. (Sorry, I'm a little tired of looking at this right
    now)...I'll try again tomorrow.
    There is no one that I see how to start using the program as I must sign
    in. However, I have never been able to get the number to your firm. Or get
    the correct number... I think I clicked on a learning tutorial or browsed
    Adobe's website to learn more, but got caught up in all the details.
    I never uninstalled virus protection to run it because I thought that it
    would ask. I'll try again tomorrow I am frustrated. Thank you for your
    patience. I appreciate it totally. It's really sad cause I really wanted to
    create. I have wanted this for a very long time and I can't believe how
    difficult this has been. It would be really nice to know what is really
    wrong. I must not be seeing something or I've done something.
