Import images edited in LIghtroom 4 into Photoshop Elements 11.

I wnat to import images I have edited in Lightroom into Photoshop Elements. It will only allow me to import the original RAW file and not the XMP Sidecar file. I get the message "File type not supported. Can anyone help? John

The usual method is not to start Elements, and then try to get ("import") the edited image from LR (or, from disk). This is a more laborious approach, also limiting: for example you cannot externally edit a LR "virtual copy" this way.
LR is designed to be the front-end, which pushes the LR-edited image out to Elements on demand (which will then be started up automatically, with the relevant image already opened for you). Doing it this way, the edited image then appears back in LR by itself, afterward, and the whole process is convenient. You can go back and edit the same image further, again using LR as your single access point to the image - both for LR adjustments and for Photoshop alterations.
The standard "Edit in Photoshop / Edit in Photoshop Elements" method tries to work via ACR. This does not require saving .XMP files to disk, btw.
It is also possible to force LR to render the file itself, which removes any issues of ACR compatibility, and employs the full gamut of LR function "up front" when starting an external edit. All Elements (or whatever) then needs to be able to do, is open up a readymade standard TIFF (or PSD).
One way to force that is via dialog options, though the options presented do vary depending on the situation.
Another way is to set up an external editing preset (in LR Preferences / external editing tab). This records a given combination of file attributes and program to be used (by browsing to the image editor program file), and is saved under a name. This name appears in the context menu (Edit In... submenu) and can be used directly thereafter.

Importing photos from iPhoto 11 into Photoshop Elements 9

Hi,
I am trying to import the iPhoto events into Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer. All the photos are imported into one single catalog. How do I import into separate catalogs in the Elements Organizer, just like separate events in iPhoto?
Regards
Ajay

A question for Adobe's Photoshop Elements forum, I would have thought.

How do I download images from a camera into Photoshop Elements 7?

Previously I've downloaded digital images directly from my camera into Photoshop Elements 7.0 In trying to do that today, I go to "File", choose "Get pictures from Camera", then see a "source" box, with an instruction to "Get Pictures from:" and offers a "source" box for choosing. The single "source" listed is my printer, not my camera! Am I doing something wrong? Is Photoshop defective?
Please help me out.
Gene F.

Hi Gene
Yes Elements is defective.
There are known bugs with the photo downloader, notably if you run the program on a net book or laptop with minimum screen resolution.
Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) will not.
Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.

How do I import RAW (CR2) images from Canon S100 into Photoshop Elements 8?

From Adobe support I downloaded Camera_Raw_6_1.zip. Extracted files, cut original Camera Raw.8bi file and pasted in a new folder. Then copied the new version of Camera Raw.8bi into the empty file format location. Still get "Cannot open ...CR2 because it is the wrong type of file."
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
The Canon S100 wasn't supported until version 6.6 of camera raw and that isn't supported by pse 8.
You options are to either upgrade to pse version 10 or use the DNG converter

Import images into Photoshop Elements Photo Organizer from Safari

Hi,
I recently bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac. Safari is my default browser. I wonder, has anyone seen an extension or add-on to Apple Safari 5.0 that creates a context dialog that would allow one to import an image from a web page into the Adobe Elements 9 Photo Organizer. Currently, the process of importing into Adobe Photoshop Elements Photo Organizer is both elaborate and tedious. Alternatively, am I simply unaware of some simple drag and drop method to import an image from the web into Photoshop Elements 9 Photo Organizer?

Hi Jack
It’s just not possible on the MAC even with the better Firefox open source Web Browser.

How do I import Aperture Library into Photoshop Elements 12?

New to Photoshop Elements 12.How do I import Aperture Library into Photoshop Elements 12?

You would really need to export copies from the Aperture database, to folders on your hard drive and then import them into Organizer.
Or continue with Aperture (don’t use Organizer) and simply send photos to the Elements Editing app as required.

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)

I don't have any problem with this when using Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop CS. I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion OS. Any solutions?

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

Importing Albums into Photoshop Elements 8 for MAC

Has anyone had experience in importing a series of Albums - created in Photoshop Elements (6) for Windows - into Photoshop Elements 8 for MAC? I have thousands of photos, arranged into separate Albums, that were created in Photoshop Elements for Windows and which were backed up onto an external harddrive, that I want to move into Photoshop Elements 8 for MAC. However, I do not see how to do this. HELP!!!

Dear Ms. Brundage -
I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual."
I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog. I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive. I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC. I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog. However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file: /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks again.

Importing Images from iPhoto 11 into Elements 12 Organizer

A friend is having lots of trouble trying to move his images from iPhoto 11 into the Elements Organizer, version 12.
Someone tried to do it for him and he has hundreds of folders in the organizer that don't make any sense and often have only one image in them.
To help him I would like to do two things:
1. How can we delete the entire import and start over?
2. What is the correct way to move these images into the elements organizer?
Thanks for your help.
Mary Lou
PS: It occurs to me that perhaps he needs to export them to his hard drive and then import then into the Organizer. Might this be correct? If it is, he will still need to get rid of all the folder there now.

To anwser the two questions you asked-
1. How can we delete the entire import and start over? : You may select all media in Elements Organizer grid (which he imported from iPhoto) and hit Delete key
2. What is the correct way to move these images into the elements organizer? : The correct way is what he already did. Actually the folder naming convention is same as that of iPhoto. If you see the package contents of iPhoto Library, these folders can be seen there as well. When importing in Elements Organizer, it creates a copy of the iPhoto folder structure and then imports in the catalog.
Thanks

I am trying to chose an upgrade from iPhoto to either lightroom or photoshop elements 10

I am trying to chose an upgrade from iphoto to either lightroom or photoshope elements 10, and would appreciate any comments/advice
Thanks for your time
Sandy

Elements and LIghtroom are different categories of app. Elements is a pretty straight up editor. Lightroom is database driven photo manager with lossless processing. Simply, Lightoom would be the upgrade to iPhoto.
That said, there is no upgrade path from iPhoto to these apps. You will need to export from iPhoto to the Finder - a process that means you will lose something of the work you have done in iPhoto already.
If your reason for upgrading is to add editing power then you can use Elements as an extenral editor to iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
If the Limitation you see in iPhoto is primarily photo managment then have a look at Aperture. Half the price of Lightroom, much better manager, complete with OS integration.
If you're shooting Raw then Lightroom or Aperture are the way to go.
You can set Elements as an external editor in either.

Trouble scanning into Photoshop Elements 11 from Canoscan 8800F

Each time I scan several photos into Photoshop Elements 11 a few of the photos go to my selected file and one or more say they were not imported because they already exist in the APPData/Local/Temp/PSAlbumImport file. I then have to try to figure out how to get them transferred to my selected file. Why is this happening? It really slows down the scanning process and I'm sure this isn't how things are supposed to work.

I have not come across that problem. The only workaround I can suggest is to scan photos directly to a folder on you hard drive and then use the Organizer menu to import the images:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders

Downloading Florabella Actions into Photoshop Elements 12 - Icons not showing up!

I downloaded some Florabella actions into Photoshop Elements 12 and instead of the user friendly, simple icons that are provided, in my Photoshop Elements 12 are these complex, yellow folders that expand and hide themselves. Why is this? How can I get the user friendly icons back, is this an issue with Photoshop Elements 12 compared to ealier versions? Is there a customer care number I can call, I cannot seem to find a number anywhere! Thank you in Advance! I have a MAC.

I think you may misunderstand how layers work. Help> Key Concepts, Layers might help. But to give you a simple example, you have to be able to SEE THROUGH the higher layers if you want edits on the lower layers to show.
If you look at the image you can see each image has a different colour painted stripe in the area above the cat. But, even though the bottom layer is the active layer, only the top layer's stripe is showing. This is because I have no transparent areas or masks on the top layer so nothing below the top layer can be visible in this image.
Hope this helps to explain a little of what you may be seeing.
Cheers,
Neale
