Import Elements 7 Catalog into lightroom 2.3

I have just installed Lightroom 2.3. Can anyone tell me how to import the catalog from Elements 7 including keywords etc? I thought after installation it offered an option to import existing catalogue. If so I must have missed the opportunity. Many thanks.

Roy, I am 99% certain that importing PSE 7 catalog to LR 2 is not possible at this time. The release cycles of the products did not coincide for that to happen. However you can import from PSE 6 I believe.
I feel sure that this will be addressed soon........... but don't know when.

  • Work-around to import Elements 7 catalog into Lightroom 2

    I know I can't import an Elements 7 catalog into Lightroom 2 because they were released at nearly the same time.  But I want to do it anyway.  What is the best workaround?

    You can write the PSE metadata (captions, tags, GPS locations) to the files with psedbtool. When you import the photos into Lightroom, this data will be read into the Lightroom catalog.
    You will lose PSE Notes, version sets, stacks, albums, creations and a few other things.

  • 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.

  • Import PSE 13 catalog into Lightroom 5.0

    I have a very extensive PS Elements catalog, now in version 13 of PSE. I just bought Lightroom but dont want to re-catalog 30,000+ pictures. How can I import the PSE (version 13) catalog into Lightroom?

    Are you running LR 5.7.1? If not upgrade from the Help menu.
    Go to File >> Upgrade PSE Catalog
    See image below - you should be able to select your Elements catalog from he drop-down list.

  • How can I import an Aperture Catalog into Lightroom and retain the RAW file as well as the files with the edits?

    I have several catalogs in Aperture that I would like to import to Lightroom 5 and I want to retain the original RAW files as well as the files with the edits.  How can I do this?

    Well, you can bring in the raw file (without edits), and you can bring in a rendered RGB file (e.g. jpeg or tiff) with edits baked in, but what you CAN'T do is bring in a raw file, with the non-destructive Aperture edits, and have Lr translate those Aperture edits into Lightroom edits.
    Put another way: no raw converter/editor can understand the edits of any other raw converter/editor. So, you have to work with a rendered version, and/or re-edit from scratch in a new raw converter/editor.
    PS - it would be feasible to write a rough translator which approximated raw edits in one world into edits in another, but such does not exist yet for Aperture -> Lightroom, that I know of.

  • Import a 2nd Photoshop Elements Catalog into Lightroom 2.1?

    Okay Lightroom Gurus ...
    On my old computer (Windows XP), I had several Photoshop Elements 5 catalogs, one of which was my main catalog, and the others were photos I hardly ever used. I imported the main catalog into Lightroom 2 just fine and have been running with it ever since.
    Then, my old computer crapped out, I bought a new Windows Vista 64 computer, installed Lightroom 2.1, transferred the Lightroom catalog and continued along just fine.
    But now, on my new computer, I want to import one of the other Photoshop Elements 5 catalogs (which still exists and still runs in PSE5 on the Vista 64 computer), but the command in Lightroom to do the import seems to have disappeared! I can't find it! Where did it go and how can I get it back? Is this a Vista 64 or Lightroom 2.1 issue (or is it me)?

    Roy, I am 99% certain that importing PSE 7 catalog to LR 2 is not possible at this time. The release cycles of the products did not coincide for that to happen. However you can import from PSE 6 I believe.

  • Import Elements catalog into Lightroom

    Hi everybody,
    I used PSE on my notebook for a couple of years now. As i bougth a new pc recently I want to upgrade to Photoshop CC / Lightroom. So here is my question:
    Is it possible to import my elements catalog into Lightroom including my tags?
    I still have got my copy of Elements 11 installed on my notebook, I´ve got a trial copy of PSE 13 on my new pc and already imported my catalog. I also installed Lightroom 5.6 on the pc.
    I already looked on the internet but I only found one video which shows the solution I need but on Lightroom 3 and the function used in the video isn´t avalible in 5.6 any more.
    If you need any more information please feel free to ask.

  • Can I Import elements 5 catalog/library into Lightroom 3.4?

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 5 for awhile.  I would like to import my catalog into Lightroom 3.4.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do so.  There is no entry on the dropdown "File" menu relating to Elements Catalogs, despite information on the Adobe webste that says there is.  Can I do this?
    Also, it isn't clear from the instructions whether "Library" and "Catalog" are used interchangeably in Lightroom or if there's a difference.  Do the two terms mean the same thing?

    If you look at the help page, which is here
    you will see that you require PSE 6 and later on windows, PSE 9 on osx, in order to convert a PSE catalog into a LR one. I assume you can get a trial of PSE, whatever the latest version is, use this to update your PSE catalog and then import it into LR.
    The catalog is the full database, this is a file saved on your computer that ends in .lrcat this contains all the data relvent to the files imported into the catalog.
    The library is the panel within LR that you use to view, add metadata, create collections etc. with LR itself, so they are not interchangeable terms in LR, unfortunately some users will refer to the catalog when they mean the Library and visa versa to the confusion of all.

  • Moving Elements 10 catalog into LR

    I have been using Elements 10 and have thousands of photos all tagged, rated and grouped into albums.  I bought LR3 and generally like it -- but can't find a way to import my E10 catalog into LR3. Am I missing something about LR3. Will LR4 do this? 

    I am running up against this same problem. I definitely want to convert to LR3 then 4.... in the next 25 days the release of 4 will be happening according to my "source" at Adobe.
    I could NOT get information about whether or not the conversion option would be in that version for the PSE10 catalog....
    I would think that somebody for sure would have a beta version that they downloaded that could tell us whether or not the conversion option was there! I was told the actual release of 4 will be exactly like the beta version now! I don't want to download the beta version myself because I am already running a trial of LR3 that is good for another 25 days, and I'm hoping to buy a full license at a deal price sometime in that stretch of time and then get the upgrade price on the licensed version of LR4. Does that make sense. One replaces the other on your computer so I can't decide to just do two installs and run the trials separately.
    A dilemma.
    Anyhow, I have a brand new computer with only PSE 10 on it and a backup image of my old system with PSE 9 catalog files in a .tib file. I can copy individual files from this .tib but can't mount it for some reason unknown to me. it gives me an error. So I was hoping and already tried copying the mycatalog.psedb file into what would be the default folder on my new OS (different from my old - XPpro to W7). That didn't work. Darn.
    anyhow. any suggestions or new information on this problem will be greatly appreciated and anticipated. I'm anxious to get my stuff into Lightroom so I can start learning all the cool stuff it can do! 50,000 images to transfer and more to import!

  • Elements 10 catalog into LR4

    I lose all "Notes" entries on importing an Elements 10 catalog into LR4. Can I retrieve them in LR4?

    If I remember properly, it will not be an onerous task. What Exiftool will do is transfer the notes to some other metadata field that LR uses ... and I believe it can be done as a batch job, thus one execution of Exiftool does this for your entire photo collection (assuming its all under one parent folder).
    Here is the method (see post #12 in this thread): http://forums.adobe.com/message/2148552#2148552

  • How to import Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5 keeping 16bit?

    I have a problem importing Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5. I have seen articles that I should change them into DNG by Phocus.
    When a photo is converted into DNG file it seems that it becomes 8 bit when I open in photoshop. Since I am shooting with RAW, I'D like to keep it
    in 16 bit. Am I making sense? Or I am missing some information regarding DNG and 8bit business?
    Please teach me the best way.

    If opening directly from LR into Photoshop check your pref settings.
    Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing (Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing on Mac OSX)
    The usual choice is to render a 16 bit tiff or PSD file. Make sure it’s not incorrectly set to 8 bit.

  • Import GPS metadata info into Lightroom

    How do I import GPS metadata info into Lightroom from either my camera or from disk?  I'm using lightroom 3.2.  It shows up in CS5 Bridge, why not in Lightroom?
    oracle 52

    I downloaded the plug-in and used the metadata file preset for geo-tagging plus all the others in Adobe Lightroom 3 prior to "import" using the "Add" submenu.  Only under the geo-tagging preset in Metadata did I see the "labels" of latitude, longitude, etc.  However, the metadata for each of the photos for these labels were blank.  Yet, when viewing these photos on Nikon VX from which the photos was imported shows the correct GPS coordinates.  Why isn't this data being displayed in Lightroom as it appears from the original file on my hard drive?

  • How do I Import PSE12 Catalog into Lightroom 4.4

    New to Lightroom and I have version 4.4. I have Photoshop Elements 12 installed and I'm trying to import the catalog to Lightroom. I manage this quite easily with a trial version of Lightroom 5  but in 4.4 if I go to File/Import Photos and Videos or Import from another Catalog there is no option to import from the installed PSE12. So how do do it.

    Albums will not transfer via this method of writing metadata to files, because album metadata is never written to files.
    The only way to transfer albums is by converting them to keywords, as 99jon said, or by waiting until Adobe releases a new version of Lightroom that will properly convert PSE12 catalogs to Lightroom catalogs (and neither I nor anyone else here knows when that will be).
    As a supplement to 99jon's advice, it is my opinion that you should organize via PSE tags (called keywords in Lightroom), and then you won't have this issue of transferring information from album names to keywords in PSE and then back to collection in Lightroom. Tags/keywords are written to the metadata when you inform PSE or Lightroom to do so, and so if you convert the PSE albums names to PSE tags you should just leave them as tags in the future, and leave the information as keywords in Lightroom in the future. In my opinion, there is zero benefit and considerable drawbacks (mainly your time) converting these to keywords to collections in Lightroom. And if you're going to leave these as keywords in Lightroom, then there's also zero benefit and considerable drawbacks to making the PSE tag name "Album New York", just make it "New York".
