Importing ONLY jpegs into a PSE 12 Catalog

I have just installed PSE 12 and would like to know if it is possible to import ONLY jpegs when creating a catalog?

If you mix file types in the same folder structure you'll first need to make sure they are not in any 'Watched Folder' lists (only applicable if you're using PSE in Windows).
Then the simplest method would be to use your computers search function for *.jpg, select them all and drag them into the Organizer window.
Note though that the Organizer does not store the images, only links to wherever they are on your hard disk, so if your intent is to save disk space the difference between cataloging all media types and just jpegs is negligible.
Cheers,
Neale

  • Is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

    I have a million photos I never intend to use in a Premiere Elements 8 production. Using the PE8 "Organizer," is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

    I do not use Organizer, so may be missing something, but I would guess that one could Sort By, and choose File Type. Remember, Organizer is for the system, and does not reflect what is Imported for use in a Project - two different things. In lieu of Organizer, I use Adobe Bridge, installed with some of my other Adobe programs.
    I would also assume that Organizer does things via folders. If one does not have any aspect set to auto, I would think that it would ONLY do thumbnails for certain folders, as directed. If one has their stills in other folders, then only AV Assets would be seen by Organizer.
    Maybe some Organizer guru will have better directions for you. I am just thinking here and speculating.
    Good luck,

  • How can I import only jpeg and not jpeg plus RAW into Photos on iPad?

    I capture both on my camera.  I do post-shoot processing on computer (Lightroom/Photoshop) but want to see larger previews on iPad (the "new" version with retina display) than my camera LCD allows.  I am using the Apple hadware adaptor to load from an SD card.  The RAW files are taking up way too much memory on the iPad--it seems Photos imports both files at once.  I can't figure our how to tell it to import only the smaller JPEG files.
    If there is a better App than Photos for this, please advise.  Note I will not be doing any serious editing on the iPad.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    It doesn't matter what App you use it will copy all the photos from the SD card.
    But I have a workaround;
    All you do is import your JPEG+RAW images using the camera connection kit.
    Go to Albums in the Photo App, choose Change, Choose New Album, give name, choose Last import, choose Select all photos, choose Finish.
    Now go back into the photos app and delete all the photos from your "Last import" Album. It will say that it is going to delete them everywhere but really it doesnt because it leaves the JPEG in the new album. The result is that you will only have your JPEGs that you imported in your camera roll and the RAW images get deleted.
    First try out before you delete photos from SD card!

  • Trouble Importing One JPEG into CS5

    I am trying to import a 582 KB JPEG into PP CS5 but keep getting an alert saying "There is not enough memory to import the requested file(s)." Odd thing is that I have no problem doing so with other JPEGs, most of which are much larger. Why is that?
    Thanks!

    While I don't think this is the error message you'd get, please open the .jpg in Photoshop and verify that it is RGB and not CMYK format. Also, re-save it to another format such as .PNG and see if it will open in Premiere then.
    Thanks

  • Tips for importing large JPEGs into PE

    The short version of my question is that I am looking for the most efficient way to import a large number of very large JPEG still photos (with various pixel dimensions) into a Premiere Elements project with the best resulting image quality possible.  I have been frustrated so far with the resulting image quality.
    Here’s some more detail.  I am brand new to PE.  I’m using PE 11 on Windows Vista.  I had been putting up with Windows Movie Maker for many years, but finally threw in the towel due to its ungraceful handling of AVCHD video.  I want to combine still photos with my home movie video in my projects and create DVDs for playback on an NTSC widescreen HDTV.
    My JPEG still photos come from several different cameras, and I do a lot of cropping.  So the pixel dimensions vary quite a bit.  The uncropped pixel size from my DSLR is 4000x6000, so they are too big to import into PE.  I read that a good approach was to create a slide show in Organizer and import this into PE.  I used Organizer to create a WMV video slideshow with the highest quality settings.  The WMV video doesn’t look too bad when I play it back on my PC.  But I notice a significant degradation in image quality when I preview the WMV file in PE (compared to playing the file on my PC).  The resulting quality of a published DVD is even worse (played on either TV/DVD or PC).  PE selected HD 1080i, 1920x1080 for my project.
    I know PE is not designed for still photo slideshows.  I’m not expecting the same quality as the original JPEGs, but I think I can do better than what I am seeing so far.  Any suggestions, tips, or links to reference articles would be greatly appreciated.  I’ve also read about resizing the stills in Photoshop (I have Elements 11) and then importing into PE.  I haven’t tried this yet, but this sounds like a lot of work (even with batch processing) due to all the different pixel dimensions I have with my photos.

    A few weeks ago this same subect was being discussed.  Taking Bill Hunt's and other's advice, I spent the larger part of a day trying it out.  As near as I can tell, I followed Bill's advice carefully.  I put together a demo video and posted it on Vimeo where viewers can download the original PrE11 output for examination.   As I recall it was a long thread and by the time I posted the video interest was dying. 
    Here it is again:  https://vimeo.com/60952115
    It is only my personal experience, but resizing provided no advantage or disadvantage.
    As another test I made a short video of about a half dozen random RAW photos and posted to Vimeo.  I used no resizing and, to my eye, results are fine.   Watch or download here:  https://vimeo.com/60904593
    Maybe the Adobe engineers have quietly put something into Premier Elements to resize, or somehow process, photos.  I do know that when it was time to upgrade to ACR 7.2, and later 7.3, for Photoshop Elements, the automatic Adobe downloader/installer reported it updated ACR in Premier Elements.  ACR does not process videos.  It is for photos and is in PrE11.

  • How to move photos from an e-mail message into a PSE-4 catalog.

    I have an Earthlink e-mail message with a large number of photographs that I want to move into my PSE4 catalog but I don't know how to do it. I'd appreciate some definative instructions on how to accomplish this.  The photos are in my windows XP computer.  P.S. I'm not very "computer-wise".

    You have to use your e-mail program to save the photos to individual files on your hard disk. Then, in PSE4, File->Get Photos->From Files and Folders and point PSE to your newly saved photos.

  • Import only JPEG, not raw w/tethered capture?

    I would REALLY like to just record raw files to the media in the camera and only send the jpeg versions to laptop for viewing only during tethered capture.
    Is this possible?

    Hi Joe,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The following article will explain how Aperture works with tethered shooting, and which cameras are qualified to work with Aperture 3 or later:
    Aperture 3: Tips on tethered shooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4176
    When capturing via tether, images are written to the computer only.
    Some cameras require a memory card to be inserted to allow tethered shooting.
    Cameras that use Mass Storage mode are not supported.

  • Issue with Importing Software Licenses Into the Asset Intelligence Catalog

    I'm trying to import a MSVL spreadsheet into SCCM 2012. Everything I have found so far all points to SCCM 2007 not 2012.
    I save the Licensing Summary tab as an CSV and save it on a share on the SCCM 2012 server. When I run the wizard to import the
    files I get the following error message.
    Error: Importing file:
    We will now import Microsoft licensing information from the file \\******\******\*********.csv into the Asset Intelligence database.
    Errors

    Unable to open the licensing statement file.
    I have also tried the same as an
    XML (spreadsheet) with the same result.
    I sent a copy of the spreadsheet to the Microsoft licensing team and they assured me it was a standard claret report Any ideas what else I should
    be doing or checking for?
    Thanks in advance.

    Go to the following link:
    https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/Downloads/DownloadsAndKeys.aspx

  • Can not import avi files into pse12 catalog

    I am wondering if any one else is having an issue with importing avi (video files from my Nikon D5000) into the PSE 12 catalog.
    Running windows 7 SP1 with all updates.
    Camera is a Nikon D5000
    file type is AVI
    Every time I go to import an avi file (either from my SD card or from my HDD) organizer comes up with the message that it has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution.
    I do not shoot much video so it is not a large concern but it used to work in previous versions of PSE.
    Any and all help with this issue is appreciated.

    In many instances, a utility software will be bundled in with the camera purchase. Installing that utility software might bring along with it codecs that are needed to work with the video on the computer and in the program. If you do not see or have such a utility software, so much for that idea. If you go after this from the MotionJPEG codec angle, the Morgan MotionJPEG codec has been available online as tryout (later purchase).
    http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/morgan/php/products.php?sProductId=5&sProductSub=download s
    See
    M-JPEG-2000 Codec v3 (32 bit and 64 bit) and the associated tab for "Download - trial/demo".
    But, could you clarify on
    As soon as I move the avi file off of the sd card the import works.
    Given you have the .avi file on the SD card, what is the path to the point where the import works?
    That is, where are you moving the .avi file to as it leaves the SD card? Surely not to the hard drive since you wrote.
    Also if I go to my hard drive where I saved the avi file and try to import it all by itself, it fails.
    I wonder if you are saying that you take it through a route which includes the Video Importer.
    Thanks for the follow ups.

  • I need to select to import only low-res jpeg images from my Canon 5D Mk11 camera to an iPad 2 and not RAW images

    I need to select somehow to import only jpeg images from my Canon 5D Mk11 camera to an iPad 2
    I take photographs in both RAW (high quality up to 30Mb file size) and JPEG low quality for use on iPad and Internet. The Raw files I save to a 1Tb Multimedia Storage Viewer and later down load-them to my computer where I process them for high quality prints.
    Using the Camera Kit I can’t find an option to only download jpeg images, and fill the iPad memory with unwanted RAW images. Can you please tell me how to get over this problem?

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

  • Aperture Import Window shuts on import of JPEGs. Won't import JPEGs HZ35W.

    Just got a new camera, Samsung HZ35W aka WB650. Files are on SD card, and I am trying to import them from the SD card into Aperture 3.1.1:
    - camera is shooting JPEG only, no RAW
    - I can see the JPEG files in Finder and in Aperture
    - do not import duplicates is not checked
    - import JPEG only files is checked
    - this camera has geo tagging capabilities
    When I click import checked, the import window just shuts down and no import occurs. I have just imported from my Canon 5D card so I know import works. If I move the files to the Mac HD and try and import the file, the same thing happens - the import window just shuts with no error message.
    I can import these JPEGs into iPhoto with no issue. I have tried importing just one or two of the files, but same result. I am doing something dumb? Why is the import window just shutting like that?
    Thanks!

    OK, I shut down Aperature and restarted and it's working now...

  • After importing my JPEGs, the matching RAW-Files aren't found! Why?

    I shot JPEG+RAW-Couples with my Canon EOS 450D (aka Rebel XSi) and imported the JPEGs into Aperture 3.1.3. When I wanted to import the matching RAW-Files later, Aperture didn't recognize one of them. I didn't change anything at the files. Importing both as a couple works without any problems.
    What's the mistake? Can I fix it or is it a bug?
    Thanks in advance!

    Users have reported problems with Aperture when Projects hold too many Images.  How many is "too many"?  No one knows -- I keep all projects under 1,000 Images, and even then very rarely go over 500.
    Projects should be subsets of your Library.
    Aperture was designed around the general topology of "one Project per shoot".  From the User Manual:
    "Projects: The basic containers used in Aperture to organize images by shoot."
    I have found that sticking to this topology seems to keep gremlins at bay.

  • Import PSE 3 catalog into PSE 13?

    I have an old PSE 3 catalog (.psa file) that I need to open in PSE 13. I downloaded, installed, and ran Adobe's dedicated converter, per Adobe's instructions and obtained a "successful conversion" message upon completion. However, when I open the resulting catalog in PSE 13 thumbnails for the "first" images display, but when I attempt to scroll down, or "Ctrl End" to the end of the catalog (there are more than 12,000 images in the catalog), PSE 13 hangs and "stops responding". Of course, what I care about is the tags attached to the images, and used to sort them in PSE 3. How do I recover/preserve/access this tag info? or, how do I "fix" the, obviously failed, conversion so that I create a catalog from my original .psa file that PSE 13 can correctly open?

    On the new computer, in PSE9, select File->Restore Catalog, and point it to the backup you made from PSE3. You will be given several options about restoring the photos, including one that is to original directory location.
    More details are here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402894.html (which was written for PSE6, but applies to later versions of PSE as well)

  • Importing older .jpegs, not getting renamed and not able to find in catalog

    First, I love lightroom. I've been knee deep for 2 weeks and am over 33,000 photos as of this writing.
    I am noticing the following when I attempt to import older .jpegs:
    At import, I specify to convert to DNG, I know this doesn't work for .jpegs, to add to catalog, to put into files by shooting date, to rename to my custom naming scheme, to backup when importing, etc. I press import.
    So when the import begins, all the thumbs have the error in the top right corner, "the photo xyz could not be used because the original file could not be found".
    A folder for the date is created in the catalog but has 0 files in it.
    So when I click in the prompt to locate the file, it takes me to the folder, and I notice that the file is there however it has not been renamed. It retains its original name from pre import.
    The only files I've noted this happening were shot in 2000-2001 with a Sony DSC-S70 camera. I went to look at the original files in mac viewer and they appear to be fine, smaller than today's files, around 512k, 1280x960.
    Again, I love Lightroom, so much so, that I've spent the last 3 days, working 12-14 hours a day getting my digital life in order.
    This is the only kink I've experienced so far in LR.
    So to summarize, during import, the folder is created, the old file namess are copied into it, but in the catalog the new file name is referenced, so when you look in the newly created folder, there are files there, but not with the new names, with the old names, and the file sizes are very small, like 32k, which tells me they aren't the files, but thumbnails of some sort?
    I've tried different ways of importing, not renaming files, using original file structure, etc, but nothing has worked.
    My theories... Are .jpegs before a certain date not supported? Are these files somehow corrupt? Are they locked?
    Thank you very much for your help, when this first started happening, I just deleted the folders that had 0 images in them. Then when I started noticing a pattern, I made notes of the folders I deleted so I can go back in and fill the gaps in, and since then, I've begun tagging all the files that are having this problem since I figured out what was going on so I can hopefully go back in and remedy.
    I am using an imac with 4 gig of RAM and LR 2.
    Sincerely,

    ok, deleted all the problem images from the catalog and it is much more stable. I tried crashing it, and it held firm. This is very encouraging.
    Took a look at the suspect files and folders.
    Did what you said, copied into the folder, and then imported without doing anything, they came in fine.
    Tried importing and renaming, for some reason still not working.
    Living and learning, when importing thousands of images in hundreds of folders, I should have added the step of looking into each folder before importing. I didn't do this. I only looked at the previews in Lr import. When I went back in and looked in the folders, there are several junk files, thumb creation files from other browser programs, html files, other various files, etc. Lr skipped the majority of these junk files, but a few came in and actually caused Lr to crash immediately when the came into view on my monitor.
    Were I starting from scratch, I would open each folder, organize it by type and size and then go through with the lightroom import portion.
    The way I did it, I imported a lot of low res cropped that I used for web and email, and now they are in my Lr catalog and look like duplicates.
    Now that the former prob images are in the Lr dbase, should I try and rename?

  • Feature Request: Import Sidecars When Updating PSE 8 Catalog

    I am working to get a usable Lightroom catalog when updating from PSE 8.  I have tens of thousands of raw files, several thousand video files in the catalog, almost all of which have an accompanying THM and/or XMP file in the same Windows folder as the photo or video file.  PSE, of course, doesn't deal with sidecars, but I would have expected Lightroom to check for the sidecar, just as it does with a regular import of those files.  Or at least allow you to ask it to discover sidecars from the library menu after the catalog has been updated.
    I would re-import the files to get the metadata from the sidecars, but then I would lose all the tags, captions and other metadata I've built up in the PSE catalog.  Lightroom doesn't give the option to "Read Metadata from File" for video files, but when I use on my raw files, it does not attempt to discover any existing sidecar files.  The XMP sidecars would be especially helpful because they contain the PSE data (including date/time changes, keywords, etc.) for both raw and video files as written out by PSEDBtool from John Ellis.
    If multiple sidecars are available for a file (e.g. both a THM and an XMP), I would hope that Lightroom would read both in date order, and apply the metadata in that order.  That is, if the THM is older, read and use that metadata, and then read the XMP, updating any data supplied in that file, so that we get the benefit all all the data available.  In the cases above, there is a lot of camera data in the THM for the video files that is not in the AVI, MOV or XMP files, so I wouldn't want to lose that.

    John - Thanks for your helpful responses.  A couple answers to your questions:
    I do have XMP sidecars for my raw (and video) files, courtesy of psedbtool.  In addition, most of my raw (and video) files have a .THM file associated with them from the camera itself.  I have done very little with ACR in PSE 8, so I don't believe I have any XMP files from that source.
    After converting my PSE 8 catalog to LR 3, I do not see any sidecar extensions in the LR 3 metadata pane, which is leading me to believe that LR 3 has ignored both the XMP and THM sidecars (I would have expected to see both listed).  If I instead import the raw files directly, rather than through the PSE 8 catalog upgrade, then I see both XMP and THM sidecars listed in the EXIF metadata pane.  For raw files, I can't be sure that the sidecars are not being read, because the camera data in them is duplicated in the raw file, and other data such as keywords may be coming straight from the PSE catalog. 
    By analogy, when I import video files with sidecars directly into LR, the sidecar metadata (both THM and XMP) is definitely imported to LR from the sidecars because that data does not exist in the video file, but it shows up in the LR metadata panel.   If I instead upgrade the PSE catalog containing the videos, only the bare-bones file data comes in with the video files - none of the EXIF data from the sidecars comes in.  LR doesn't even set a valid capture time for sorting in the grid view.
    So I am drawing a conclusion that the PSE sidecar raw behavior is the same as the video behavior in this case.  John - are you seeing sidecar extensions in the metadata panel in LR from imported raw files?
    Thanks!
    Jon
