Import iphoto into elements 11 organizer

i,m about to import photos from iphoto into elements 11 organizer. there is an option to have organizer convert events from iphoto into albums, is there an advantage to doing this, if i don't choose that option will it make adifference.

Albums in Elements are ways to give a name to a group of pictures and saving the order in which the pictures are stored. It's easy to find a given group by its name (like a keyword) while keeping their sort order. I don't know anything about iphoto, but I think it would be a pity to lose such useful information.
The main differences between albums and keywords is that keywords (tags) can be saved in the file themselves whereas the albums are only saved in the database (catalog). The second difference is that albums enable sorting the pictures.

  • I cannot import images from my camera directly into Elements Organizer

    I am trying to import images into Elements Organizer from my Canon EOS 6D, but it doesn't work properly. I am expecting the images to appear in the Elements Organizer, but the images are only imported onto disk. At the moment I have to re-import images from the disk location as a second step. How can I perform this in one step, as I have seen this in the tutorials?
    I am on a Mac using Yosemite using version 13 of Elements Organizer.

    There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
    When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
    If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

  • Help with importing files into elements catalog?

    I recently downloaded HD home video's to my computer and when I open Pre elements 9.0 it gives me the message saying new files have been downloaded since last launch of elements organizer. Elements will now import these files into a catalog. it starts and listed the mov file but is stuck and will not respond.
    Any idea's?

    What is the format of these HD home video's that you are trying to import into Elements Organizer 9?
    Try importing one of them into a Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 new project and determining if a copy of the video gets automatically placed in Elements Organizer 9.
    More later.

  • Aperture/iPhoto - Use Unified Library or import iPhoto into Aperture?

    So as it is June 30th, I've been forced into upgrading to Lion.  Now I know I can take advantage of the Aperture/iPhoto unified library structure.
    But should I?
    I am new to Aperture and use it for photos starting in January 2012 going forward.  I have already upgraded to Aperture 3.3.  I am still currently running iPhoto 8.1.2  for photos from 2011 and earlier.  My plan was to eventually import my iPhoto library into Aperture.  Now it appears I don't have to.
    So I'm standing at a crossroads and I'd like feedback.  I have read some of the discussions where folks are having issues with migration with both avenues so I'd like to know which one makes more sense.
    Should I upgrade to iPhoto 9.3?  Should I keep each library separate?  Should I merge?  Should I import iPhoto into Aperture still and have one library going forward?
    Looking for folks with some experience to give me guidance!
    Thanks in advance!
    Chrystal in TX

    Merge them.  When you upgrade to iPhoto 9.3 and Aperture 3.3 the programs use the same library format... you can open it in either one.
    Note people rarely post feedback about something if it's working for them, so results will always be skewed toward the negative online.  Still, it makes sense to have a backup before upgrading, as a general best practice.

  • Can't import från iPhoto to Elements Organizer

    I want to import my large iPhoto (v9.5.1) archive into my Adobe Elements Organizer (v12.1). I need to get the tags for thousands of photos intact with the transfer.
    There is an automatic function for this in Organizer, but when I use it, only a few photos from iCloud actually get imported. It may have something to do with my having set up iPhoto to leave my photos in their original folders and not import the photos themselves into the database.
    Is there any way to work around this, to get my photos into Organizer with all their meta-information intact?

    Hi Tonyswiss
    This is common with all new camera models; not just Canon. Manufacturers continually improve their processors and the way they perform with the sensor in handling and creating images. It takes time for Adobe to catch up so the update of ACR will always lag.
    Dual DIGIC 4 processors are used in the EOS 7D and EOS 1D Mk IV. ACR support is provided in version 5.6

  • Elements importing photos from iPhoto into nonsensical folders - how do I convert events or import into dated folders from iPhoto into elements?

    Please help! Can't seem to find the answer on the website or anywhere else online. I don't see an option to convert events from iPhoto into folders in elements. Any advice would be appreciated.

    The whole point of a program like organizer is to ignore the folders and use tags and categories instead. However, if you want to preserve the iphoto events then the way to do it is not to use "from iphoto" but rather to export each event from iphoto separately, organize your folders how you want them, where you want them and then use "from files and folders" instead.

  • Importing photos into Elements

    My saved photos on my pc are not visible when I attempt to import into Elements.  Why?

    So right after posting the question, I decided to try to first import into the file system and then import from the file system, and that worked. But its a pain because it changes my workflow.
    A possible workaround: You could use Windows Live Photo Gallery to download into your folders; the WLPG downloader is pretty good (WLPG is the version you download from Microsoft, not the one built in to Vista).  Then you could use the Organizer's File > Watch Folder feature to automatically import new photos that get added to your folders by the downloader.
    Do you use lightroom? Do you recommend it?
    I don't use Lightroom, but it has a very good reputation.  I know some other posters here use it.

  • I cannot import media into Elements 12 Editor

    I would like to import a video or frames from a video resp. into Photoshop Elements 12 Editor to create GIFs. But the import function is not even active.
    Do I need to activate something here? Or do I need to deactivate something in the Elements Organizer?
    I am working with OS X Yosemite.
    Thanks!

    Adobe stop shipping photoshop elements with the Import>Frame from Video because it's outdated and the plugin is a 32 bit plugin and doesn't work in pse 12 or 13, which are 64 bit applications on mac os x.

  • Can't Import iPhoto into iMove 6

    I'm trying to import photos from iPhoto but can't get the photos to get accepted into iMovie. They are jpegs. It's worked many times before. Thanks!

    Oh sorry!! It turns out that when you import movies into iPhoto '08, when you export them they come out as images, instead of movies; how strange!! :S You can view movies in iPhoto but you can't get them out of there, thanks for your help anyways , you can drag and drop movies from iPhoto into iMovie so I'm all sorted now.

  • Importing raw into elements 8

    I have owned elements 8 for about 12 months and only recently purchased by first dslr - a Nikon D3100.    During a recent holiday I shot in jpeg+raw.  Now I can't import my raw files into elements 8 only the jpeg.  My elements has the 5.5.0.97 raw plug in, apparently my camera needs 6.3 but elements 8 only supports up to 6.2.  Do I need to upgrade to 9 or is there another option?

    You can buy Elements 9, now, or it seems that Elements is usually released in Aug-Sept timeframe so you might wait a few weeks and buy Elements 10.
    If you want to wait for PSE 10, then in the mean time you can convert your NEF files to DNGs and then the older version of ACR with Elements 8 will open them.  It is probably a good idea to update PSE 8 to the latest ACR that it supports, also using the Updates page and then finding the Elements-specific instructions for ACR 6.2.
    To convert to DNGs you should use the latest version of the DNG Converter, which you can download via the dropdown list at the top of the Adobe Updates page:

  • Importing Folders Into Elements 9

    I am trying to import a folder of photos from my hard drive into an album In elements 9.  I am able to import the photos, however the file names and keywords are not showing.  Help - this is not good with hundreds of photos. Thanks in advance
    . I originally downloaded these from my camera to Lightroom 3, gave them filenames and keywords, then exported to a folder on my hard drive  Thanks
    Message was edited by: bonphotography

    Thanks for your quick response.  I agree this is an awkward workflow.  I've only used Lightroom for a short time and just started using elements. I'm under the impression that Lightroom stores originals without taking up hard drive space. If I imported directly to elements, and then made adjustments, I'd have 2 versions of the photo. Also, I'd have to do save as, rather than just save if I wanted an original.  Please let me know if my thinking is all wrong!  I found the show details so now I am able to see the file names.   I did select the keywords to import.  I think my problem is I don't know where I would see the keywords when in elements.  Thanks for your help

  • Importing from iPhoto into Elements 11 Organizer

    When I click Import in Elements 11 Organizer and choose the iPhoto option I do not get the "Import from iPhoto" dialog box that allows you choices of what you would like to import. Instead, the program immediately begins importing all the photos that I have in iPhoto.  How do I get the dialog box to come up so I can make choices of what I would like to import?

    You are right, that is how it works.  However, I am looking at a figure on page 36 of the Adobe "Classroom in a Book" training workbook that shows an iPhoto dialog box where you can make choices.  Wonder where that figure came from.  After seeing it, I thought maybe I had missed making a preference setting somewhere along the line.  Thanks for your response.

  • Trouble importing photos into Elements 8 under Windows 7

    Elements 8 is rejecting jpeg photos I am trying to import from SD card or DVD. The photos were taken with different cameras, and ones I've imported from successfully before. It labels the files as "corrupted", or "organizer doesn't recognize this file format" or other strange messages. I've successfully  imported these files into Picassa, and Windows explorer - they are plain jpegs.

  • Problem importing files into Elements 9

    Apparently Photoshop Elements 9 dropped the ability to import files from the computer in the order they are on the computer.  The only option is "date oldest" and "date newest".  This is a problem if you are combining pictures from multiple cameras with some cameras having improperly set dates.  We order tthe pictures by file name, only to have them scrambled by Elements 9 prior to uploading to Kodak.  My old version  (Elements 4) had this third option "file order" that apparently was dropped along the way. Does anyone know of "a work around."    BTW - going to Kodak and "pulling the files using their system doesn't work because it fails to bring the label along with the upload.

    Hello,
      A lot has changed between Photoshop Elements 4 and 9. While "File Order" was dropped from the sort list of the Organizer Thumbnail View, it is the order method used by both the Import Batch and Folder Location Views. You can change Views by going to the Display button in the top right:
