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 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.

Photoshop Elements for Mac - Three Versions Installed

Hi there,
I'm cleaning up stuff on my iMac and find I have three purchased versions of PhotoShop Elements for Mac installed, V4, V6 and now V8. Can I safely remove the old V4 and V6 versions without them affecting anything in V8?
Also, there are other versions of related software, such as Adobe Bridge, then Adobe Bridge CS3 and CS4. Can the original and CS4 versions be removed.
What else might have multiple versions relating to Photoshop Elements?
Can I remove these by simply deleting them from the Applications or is there a process which needs to be followed, i.e., an Uninstall?
Guidance much appreciated.
Lynn

"Never delete anything, just buy a bigger hard drive"!
After I admit to being "slightly eccentric", let me say I don't know why you even need to uninstall any of them. The only caveat there is you can't run two versions simultaneously. I have PSE- 5 & 7 installed on one of my computers, and I import the same file into both catalogs, while duplicating the folders on a separate HDD also. You can never be to sure, or is that too insecure, I'm not really sure.

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.

Photoshop Elements for Mac OSX 10.5.6 Version?

I'm confused. Is there an Elements for Mac in Version 7. I called the sales line and they told me that for a Mac I would choose Version 6 for Mac??? Is Version 7 for Windows equal to Version 6 for Mac?
Thanks!

Yes, there is no version 7 for mac, but it doesn't really matter, since most of the changes between 6 and 7 were bug fixes in the organizer and the push to use photoshop.com. In the editor, there aren't huge differences between the two programs, just a couple of new tools. For 10.5.6 PSE 6 is the one you want, especially if you have an intel mac.

Choosing paper type in Photoshop Elements for mac

How do I select paper type in PS elements for Mac OS Lion 10.7?

You do this in the OS X print window that appears after you click Print in the PSE print window. You may need to expand the window by clicking the Show Details button, and then you'll see a pulldown menu in the middle of the window where you make your choices for paper, ink, etc.

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

Photoshop elements for Mac (snow leopard)

Hi all. I recently upgraded my computer to a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Previously i had a windows running acer. Just before my acer crashed i bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. Unfortunately this is not compatible with my Mac. I was wondering if there is anyway to get a download which will make it compatible (I don't even know if such things exist) or if i'm able to download a Mac compatible version and use my old serial number? or am i stuck having to fork out to buy another copy? Please help....

this is not the Elements Forum.
but to answer your question Adobe does not make software that will run on both platforms its either or. you will need to buy a Mac version.

Photoshop Elements for Mac

I purchased an HP Printer that came with Adobe Elements 11 bundle. The software is only for Windows. HP referred me to Adobe. Adobe customer service referred me to forums. Any suggestions on how I can get the version for my MAC?

You posted in the Photoshop forum by mistake. I've moved your post to the Elements forum where you are more likely to get help with Elements issues.

Photoshop Elements for Mac - Not responding

I have had PE 12 for about 6 months on my MAC (1.5TB, free, 32 gb ram,) . All has been good. All of a sudden, I cant get the program to work - it just gives me spinning wheel of death.
I DID remove the program via the S/W, and reloaded, and same issue. I cant access the File menu to try and repair the catalog. It just goes to spinning wheel.
I feel like Im sunk ... can anyone help?
Thanks,
Chuck

Ok, thanks so much for your continued patience.
I have repaired permissions, unistalled PE 12, reinstalled under another admin user (seems to go ok - but does not load a library)
I switched users and tried to do a clean backup once PE 12 started under my username - but right after the prompt for revconnecting files - it gave me a spinning wheel.
So i inderstand that my pictures and videos are srtill intact, but Iahve 30,000 + of these tagged and organized to the nines. My photos are like looking for a needle in a haystack without PE.
So I dont know how to proceeed next. Do I delete all catalogs and replace from my most recent backup? Is there any software support Adobe Provides for this type ofd issue? My concern is if I delete my catalogs, and start a new from the backup and the program is the issue (not the catalog) I just fell back another month with my cataloging, importing and tagging.
I've had minor issues before through v2 - v11, but this is killing me.
Thanks Barbara.

New install of Photoshop elements for Mac 6

I have the downloaded trial version on my new Mac. I now want to install the copy I bought. When I do so the first thing I get is an error message.
JavaScript Alert
Critical errors were found in setup Incompatible payload already installed Please see Setup log file for details.
Can someone help me fix this problem. It is very frustrating.
Thanks,
Karen

You should have run the uninstaller from the download for the trial. At this point, get rid of as much stuff as you can find (don't forget to check hard drive>library>application support), then download and run this:

before trying the retail installer again.

An updated photoshop elements for mac?

I just got a mac and found out that the latest update that is available for a mac is PSE6, and was wondering if a PSE7 or PSE8 is coming out that will be mac compatable? thanks

Well, you can forget PSE 7, that's for sure, if Adobe hasn't said anything by now. The past few years they've only been updating the mac version on the even numbered updates, so presumably there's hope for PSE 8, although if they do it's anybody's guess as to when it will come out.
