Importing Albums into Photoshop Elements 11

I can import the photos and catalougs from elements 10 to 11 but how do I import the albums and smart albums I have created from the photos within the system?

  OK try importing just the album data using a text file.
1. Open PSE10 Organizer and click on the dropdown menu to the right of the green plus symbol under albums in the right hand panel.
2. Choose save albums to file.
3. Select Export all albums and click OK
4. Choose a folder such as Documents and click save
5. Close PSE10 and launch the PSE11 Organizer
6. Click the album dropdown next to green plus symbol in the left hand panel then choose Import Albums from file
7. Navigate to Documents (or wherever you saved the XML file called Albums) and highlight it and click Open.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Importing photos into PhotoShop Elements 9

    Hi. Im very new to photoshop software. Any software for that matter
    I have about 15000 photos in windows gallery that i initially imported into PSE. But since doing that, as PSE was soooo slow, i went back to windows gallery and cleaned up and organised my photos there, putting them in the correct sub folders, thinking they would automatically update in PSE. This doesnt seem to be the case. Can anyone assist me in how to import photos into PSE, and once they are imported, can i delete from windows gallery ? Oh and any otehr tips for a newbie is appreciated
    Thanks heaps!!

    Hi
    Im sorry, but i dont completely understand your answer, although it was a little helpful.
    The first sentence you advised to make sub folders in windows program.
    Im pretty sure thats what ive done. But i thought it would automatically update to PSE. You mentioned it would not. Thankyou for that part.
    I have cleared/re organised my windows picture folders and organised them into sub folders but when i went into PSE the old pic files and folders were showing there - except they advised no picture or data is available.
    So this confuses me as there is too much files in PSE now and i cant seem to get rid of them.
    The other concern is the new photos i have loaded into windows pictures program, how do i get them into PSE. This is really hard to explain in email., so i do apologise if i dont make sense or repeat myself.
    But my main concern is if PSE doesnt update why does it keep old pic folders in the program if nothing is available.
    i tried to uninstall and then reinstall and start teh program all over again with my newly organised windows folders but the old stuff remianed even though i uninstalled the program ????
    Thanks

    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)

  • 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?

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Import photos iPhoto - Photoshop Elements

    Hello,
    I'm using Photoshop Elements 12 trial version. I would buy it but i got one problem with the automatic import function in Photoshop Elements.
    On the first start of Photoshop Elements, it asked me if I want to import all my photos from iPhoto. So I did import all photos.
    In iPhoto my photos have been organizes like this:
    > April (folder)
    > Mai (folder)
         - Wohnung (event)
         - Exkursion Werder (event)
    > Juni (folder)
    > Juli (folder)
          - Exkursion Schweiz (event)
    But now in Photoshop I got this:
    > 20110908-192729 (folder)
    > 20110908-192733 (folder)
    > ... (and so on)
    Is this really the way Photoshop Elements imports all my photos? Do I really have to organize all my thousands of photos again?

    I wanted to use Photoshop Elements Organizer and Editor only and not continue to use iPhoto because it’s very slow.
    Do you think it would be easier if I just continue to use iPhoto as the Organizer and use Photoshop Elements Editor as the editor?
    Seems there is no way to import iPhoto albums and events to Photoshop Elements Organizer.

    First of all, are you certain you want to ditch iphoto permanently? It's not necessary to do that unless you wish. So are you sure that you no longer want iphoto at all?

  • How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12?

    How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12? Do I restore from a backup?  I have over 12,000 pics ( a good portion with multiple versions) and don't want to lose captions and metadata. Thank you in advance for your help.

    If this is on the same computer just install PSE 12. It should find your old catalog and upgrade it to PSE 12. If for some reason it doesn't, then go to file>manage catalogs, find your old catalog and tell PSE 12 to convert it.
    If this is a new computer, then yes, full backup and restore.
