Import of Catalog from Elements 12 into Lightroom 5 not possible

Hi Guys,
I was able to import one of my different Element Catalogue’s.
Now I´m not able to select another one. As described in the help I should see a
Photoshop Elements Catalogue dialog box, but there is no possibility to change the first entry (see picture below).
Then I tested another steps:
a) first open the Elements 12 and select the wished catalog and then opened Lightroom 5 - no change
b) tried to open the pse8db file direct with lightroom 5 program - is possible but no pictures are imported.
So please could you help me?
Thanks and best regards

At this time, Lightroom 5 cannot upgrade PSE 12 catalogs. Perhaps (soon) in a future version of Lightroom this will be possible.
Since I can't see your screen capture, I have no other comments at this time.

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
any one can help?

This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
Don't forget to tick the backup box.
Hope this helps. Peter

Import Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom 3

If I understand correctly I must upgrade to Lightroom 4.3 or get a converter in order to import my Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom?
Not sure if I understand it correct? Which is the best way?

I use LR 3.6 with the latest updates for camera raw for this version, I believe it's 6.7, and my D7000 and its NEF's were correct handled.
Did nothing else as install the program, update every time there was an update and in September when I bought the D7000 LR worked fine with his NEF's. Before I had a D40x which was als correctly handled.

After importing an image from cs5 back into lightroom, lightroom is making the image darker

Lightroom is making my images darker after i edit them in photoshop cs5 and I dont know why. When i open the image back into photoshop it looks fine. Even when i save it as a jpeg lightroom is making the image darker. When i imported the raw image into lightroom before i edited into photoshop it looked fine. Is there a way to fix lightroom?

See screen shot:
Click on the two small triangles and under <Lightroom General Presets> select <Zeroed>. Sorry, it seems that the option <None> is not available anymore in Lr 4.3. But <Zeroed> has the same effect.
Alternatively, in the Develop Module, bottom right, just above the film strip click on <Reset>. See screen shot:

How do I import a catalog from photoshop 8 into Photoshop 13

I have Windows 7 . The drop down menu for Manage my Catalogs does not allow any selections

You don't import catalogs, technically you 'convert' catalogs.
If you are on different computer, you don't 'import' either: as mentionned by Ned Murphy, you have to create a backup folder (generally on an external drive) and to restore to the new computer or drive. That restores both your picture library (tree) and your catalog.
If you are on the same computer, the catalog manager dialog you mention offers a 'convert' button. When installing PSE13 on the same computer, the installer should find your active old catalog and prompt you to convert it. If you have missed this step, you can still search for the old catalog folder by browsing to its location. Is that what you have tried without success?

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

You can copy your image file from you PC to your Mac over your home network or via DVD/CD. You can not install you PC CS5.1 version on you Mac. Its not compatible with MAC OS. You would need a MAC version of CS5.1 and Mac version serial number to activate it. Adobe no longer markets CS5 so you most likely will not be able to pay for a platform switch media install.

Catalog from elements 8 to elements7

Hi
Is it possible to import a catalog from pse 8 to pse 7??
thank you for the answer

In general, Paige is correct that you can't open a catalog from a newer version into an older version.
However, in this particular case, PSE 7 may be able to open PSE 8 catalogs because there was no change in the database format:
1. In PSE 8, find your catalog folder by doing Help > System Info.
2. In Windows Explorer, make a copy of that catalog folder somewere else.
3. In the copied folder, rename catalog.pse8db to catalog.pse7db. Delete the files collstatus.dat, fpstatus.dat, itemData.mk4, itemDataUpdate.mk2, rm5.3.cache, tagstatus.dat, thumb.5.cache, watch2.cache, and the folder sync2db. (Don't worry if some of those files aren't there.)
4. Double-click the file catalog.pse7db.
Beware that I haven't tested this extensively, so there may be all sorts of problems lurking underneath, even if it appears to work superficially. That's why you want to try it out on a test copy of your catalog folder.

How do you transfer Albums & their contents from Elements 11 into a later edition Elements 13. Thanks

How do you transfer Albums & their contents from Elements 11 into a later edition Elements 13. Thanks

Albums are lists which are stored into catalogs. They don't contain the images, they just keep a pointer to where the pictures are stored in your computer and the order to display them.
So your problem is with catalogs, not with albums.
If you have missed the message to convert the old current catalog at installation time, that's not a problem. You can use the menu File in the organizer, select 'Manage catalogs' which will show a 'convert' button. That is also necessary if you have more than one catalog.
The catalog is not a single file, it's a folder containing the main database, catalog.pse13b as well as other files and subfolders. The location of your current catalog can be found with the menu Help/System Info of the organizer. If you want to use another catalog, the organizer will search for other catalogs and provide a list to choose from.

How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11? [was:transfering catalogs]

How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11?

It depends...
If you are still on the same computer and OS, the Organizer in PSE11 (or PSE12) will be able to convert the old catalog to its own format, while keeping the old catalog unchanged.
If you are changing computer, drive or OS, the best method is via a full backup and restore:

Importing keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?

Is it possible to import keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?
And how?
m

Mmh, you could possibly simply copy over the respective files from your preset directory (Documents and Settings/Matjaz/Application Data/Adobe/Photoshop CS3/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts). Not sure if it's safe, though. Never tried.
