Importing photos to Elements on a Mac laptop

If I try to import photos from my Canon camera to Elements, open or not, the Mac opens its app 'Photos'. The only way I can get the photos from the camera to Elements is by importing them to 'Photos', re-exporting them to the desktop, then importing them from the desktop to Elements.
There must be a better way.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop or Ps Elemernts and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

How to export photos from Elements Organizer on Mac?

I saw someone asked the same question and it seemed not to be possible with the Mac version. Surely this can't be possible as this must be one of the single most important functions in an Archving system.

The problem is I can't move them to a new folder. If I could I wouldn't have the export problem. I just dragging and dropping but it doesn't work. I have made a selection (15) of photos in Elements Organizer but I can't identify which ones they are (from 300) in the Mac Finder app (= Windows Explorer).
Sorry, I can't test that on a Mac, but I thought that 'Windows only' features would be stated on the Adobe pdf help file, and moving file is not mentionned as Windows only, whereas 'export' is clearly stated as Windows only.

Importing photos in elements 12

I just downloaded photoshop elements 12 and imported photos from my picture library. The photos imported but lacked the image numbers that were set by the camera. Can these #s be imported also? I was using the #s to mark the photos I wanted to put in a special folder so with out them I would have to start over in elements

The numbers are there, assuming you mean the file names assigned by the camera. Just go to View>File Names.

Mac to iPad Import Photos takes up memory of Mac

Every time I try to import photos from my Macbook through selecting the import folder in iTunes, it automatically takes up the memory of my Macbook. I am confuse on why importing photos from a folder through iTunes to an iPad takes up the memory of the macbook. This is a huge problem because my mac does not have a lot of memory left and memory comes as a luxury to me. I was wondering where I can delete the photo files that iTunes may have double copied(?) Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot! Cheers

You mean hard drive space (which is not memory).

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.

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.

Photo Shop Elements 9 for Mac

I have PSE 8 (and 4 & 6) on my iMac. I have downloaded the trial version of PSE 9 for Mac to see if there is enough improvement to warrant the purchase. I am using an external HD exclusively dedicated to photos. There are over 6000 photos that were tagged and dated using various Windows versions of PSE, and I am adding more daily. I use both Mac and Windows versions of PSE 8, since my Dell laptop uses Vista. I have attempted to use the existing catalog from the external HD in the trial version of PSE 9 for Mac, but without success. I used the "custom" button in Organizer Catalog Manager, browsed to the photo files, (the location shows on the left), but the "open" button remains grayed out. What should I do to have PSE 9 for Mac recognize the existing catalog?
I will also upgrade the Windows version to PSE 9. Will I have a similar problem getting it to recognize the existing catalog?
Thanks

I want to share it between the Mac and my Dell laptop, which I take with me
when traveling. That way I can load photos from the camera and tag them
while my memory is fresh, and then edit and print them from the Mac, which
has a very nice large screen. I use an external USB HD for file storage so
it plugs easily into both machines. In the past I kept an older Windows
version of PSE on the Mac using VM Ware since there was no Organizer in the
Mac versions of PSE. I would use the Windows version of Organizer to
identify the files I wanted and then open them in PSE 8 for Mac to edit.
Hopefully, with Organizer included in PSE 9 for Mac I can save those extra
steps, as well as free up space on my internal HD.
Are you the author of my great "Missing Manuals"? I have both the Mac and
Windows versions, and both have gotten a lot of use. If you are, doubly
thanks.
