Integrating library from Elements 8 to Elements 12

How do I integrate my library from Elements 8 into Elements 12?

Do you mean your organizer catalog? Just install PSE 12 and it should automatically find your catalog and convert it. If it doesn't go to File>Manage Catalogs>find your catalog>convert.

  • Transferring photo library from Elements 7 on PC to Elements 12 on Mac.

    I have a large library of photos (almost 20000) on my old PC under Elements 7, I have just purchased a MacBook Pro and purchased Elements 12.  Is there an easy way to transfer the library across?

    Its best to install PSE12 on your Windows Machine and first upgrade your catalog. Then install PSE12 on the Mac and use the backup and restore procedure via an external hard drive.

  • When exporting from Elements to Revel, only "Library" shows in the Revel drop-down list.

    I am having difficulties in exporting images from Elements 11 to Revel.
    If I  use the recommended procedure (i.e. clicking on File and then Export to Adobe Revel) the captions on the images are not exported.
    Even if I use that method for an album that has no image captions, only "Library" displays in the drop-down list and not individual albums.
    Is the only way to address these problems to buy Elements 12?

    Thanks Barbara.
    Unfortunately I am still experiencing various problems and I don't know whether the difficulties lie with PSE11 or with Revel. My aim is to export albums from PSE 11 on my PC to an iPad Air. The process is very hit and miss. Having done further research, it now seems that my operating systen (Windows 7) may not be compatible with Revel. If that is the case, there would be no point in upgrading from PSE11 to version 12. Are you able to comment?

  • How to open jpg, tiff files in camera raw from elements 10 organizer

    How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

    Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is  the correct word).
    For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
    I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
    Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
    As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
    Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

  • Import From Elements - where did it go

    I noticed that the Michael Tapes 'Import' video showed an 'Import From Elements' menu item on the file menu. I have the 4.1 beta installed and this item does not appear in the file menu. Where did it go or is there another way to import a PSE catalog straight into LR.
    Here is the video site:
    http://pictureflow.fileburst.com/_Tutorials/Photoshop_LR/01/index.html

    I'm hoping that this whole process is unnecessary. By seeing the "Import from Elements" option, I am currently hoping/assuming that this means it will import the actual PSE Organizer catalog into LR. PSE Organizer uses .psa files for each catalog. I am hoping that by selecting the "Import from Elements" options, LR will take your .psa file (Photoshop Elements Organizer Catalog) and convert it into a .aglib file (Lightroom Library). The tags, categories and subcategories should be converted to the Lightroom equivalent of keywords, parent keywords, and child keywords (or whatever they're called in LR). In doing this, there should be no preparation of anything in PSE Organizer. If I'm understanding what Susan just said she did, it seems that the actions you just took Susan by making everything a category just took away all hierarchical tags (or parent/child information), for their is no heirarchy in the IPTC keywords fields, unless I'm mistaken.
    Once again, I'm assuming this is how it will work and I hope I'm right . . . any other way just doesn't seem to make any sense. The "Import from Elements" option would not be needed if you've already embedded all of your tags into the files (or made all of your tags into categories and embedded that). If that information is already embedded in the file, then just import the files through the typical import dialog and it will find that information. There is no need to worry about the catalog or the "Import from Elements" command at all. My hope is that I don't need to do this and I can just convert the catalog on the fly (much like when you upgrade from say PSE Organizer version 3 to PSE Organizer version 5). Regardless, I will wait until LR is released before I take any steps to start the conversion process. I don't want to compomise something that I've spent years creating and works great already because I'm guessing or assuming how something may or may not work. I guess we shall all know soon enough (or even sooner if a final release tester can confirm this in any way).

  • Import aperture 3 library to elements 9

    Is it possible to import my aperture 3 library to elements 9 organiser?

    Not directly. If you really think you want to do this (I would have to ask why), then export the photos from aperture, put them where you want to keep them, and use file>get photos>from files and folders to import them. But given that aperture's raw handling is much more sophisticated than what's available in PSE, I'd just set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from aperture when you need to do additional editing on them.

  • Not all my Jpeg files from elements moved to Revel, why?

    I went in to check what files from elements were downloaded in the new Revel system and a significant number of my Jpeg pictures did not move over.  Is there a reason?  OMG I hope figuring out which ones weren't moved will be easy like "download whole elements library" or something to that effect.
    I got an email that said my download was complete but on some page somewhere in the MANY places I have been to sort this out  the "all files have been downloaded" was not yet highlighted so does that mean that things are not done yet?
    OMG I am so frustrated.  I am ready to store my pictures on Amazon Cloud.  Seems like a more friendly system.  I am not a tech savy person.  I know enough to be frustrated.

    QUESTIONS ABOUT FILES TRANSITIONING TO REVEL
    Your album structure will be moved to Revel along with your JPEGs. There is not a concept of albums within albums in Revel, so the file structure will be flattened.
    Will my web galleries be moved to Revel?
    Your web galleries will become albums in Revel. Current album links will continue to work.
    Will my group albums be moved to Revel?
    Group albums will not be moved, but the JPEG photos in the albums will be moved to Revel.
    Take a look at these and let me know what questions remain.

  • I'm using a Mac. When I tried to open my iPhoto library in Elements I get the error message "cannot complete request PE doesn't recognize this type of file"?

    I use a Mac. When I try to open my iPhoto Library in Elements I get the error message "cannot complete request, PE does not recognize this type of file." The import option only allows me import a "frame from Video"?

    You can't use iPhoto that way.  Poking around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is just begging for trouble, the fastest way to corrupt your library and lose all your images.
    You have two choices with iphoto:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Save, never save as, and don't change the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits and the original, although you have to lose the edited version to revert to the original. This doesn't work with raw files.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in PSE and then you can make all the changes to name and format that you want. Then import the saved edited version to iphoto as a new file.

  • Importing from Elements 6

    I have imported Mi Photos from Elements 6. Haw do I now if all of the Photos are in Lightroom. Can i do some control option to see if a have photos in the folder that not have bin imported. Lets say, photos that have bin deleted from the Elements catalog, but still on the computer.

    Use 'Synchronize Folder'.
    If your photos are in the same catalog that they used to be when you had your Elements library, you can use the Synchronize Folder command on your top-level folder in Lightroom. It will show you the files that exist in your file system but were not imported into your LR catalog.
    However, if the process of importing from Elements involves moving the actual files to a new folder (I just don't know, never had Elements) this method will not work. You'll probably need a third party folder synchronization utility.

  • DVD from Elements 3.0 has no audio on Cyberlink Power DVD

    I've burnt a DVD from Elements 3.0 which seems to go okay but when I put the DVD back in to the drive and open Cyberlink Power DVD, it plays without audio.
    What's the griff with that?
    Chummy

    As a test of what Steve wrote, go back to PE, and Burn to Folder. Point CyberLink Power DVD to that folder and play from there. Do you get Audio?
    I'm with Steve in that PE does a good, DVD-spec AC3 Audio file, that *should* play fine. CyberLink Power DVD is a good software player.
    If you are not getting Audio, first place I'd check was the Audio setup on my system and then Ctrl-c from within Power DVD. What are the settings under the Audio tab there?
    Good luck,

  • Upgraded from Elements 9 to 12 since upgrading from Windows 7 to 8.1 - Issues with my old psd's.

    Hi - in regards to moving up to the newer version of Elements, I find that all the psd files I was in the middle of working with (all of them multi-layered) don't seem to be associated with photoshop anymore.  When I double-click them, windows asks me what app I'd like to open them with.  If I open photoshop I can open the psd files from there, however.
    I made the change from Elements 9 to 12 because after installing Windows 8.1 the older Elements got weird and "buggy."  I actually would've preferred to keep 9 (so if anyone's aware of "fixes" or "upgrades" for 9 that help it to work better with Windows 8.1, please let me know)!
    Also, I see that the old layers panel, where I can see all my different layers and move them around to front or back, isn't there.  I did see that it's possible to select "Layers" from the menu, but it's greyed out. 
    I'm wondering if I somehow "lost" something switching over, and I wonder if there's something I can do to get my psd's to open in Elements more-or-less like they used to.
    I should say that I jumped from Elements 9 up to 11, so I do realize there have of course been many many changes in the interim (I'd previously made the jump from 5 up to 9) and it'll take time for me to relearn, but this particular issue seems like it might be more of a glitch than me not knowing the new version yet.
    I should also mention that the psd files don't have an Elements icon anymore - just a white square.
    Thanks!!!

    If Layers is greyed out it possibly means that you are in Quick Mode. Select 'Expert' and all the options should become available.
    Try permanently associating psd files with C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and see if that fixes the issue. Instructions here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default.

  • Converted to Lightroom from Elements 5

    I installed the trial version from a link found in a message on this forum and imported from Elements 5. Luckily, I only had something less than 3000 images loaded into Elements and hadn't done serious tagging on most of them. I decided to use this trial version of Lightroom because I only decided yesterday to switch from Elements to Lightroom and ordered the shipped version so, being impatient, I would have to go with the trial version tomorrow anyway.
    How did the import go? Well, not perfectly. It went well until the end when Lightroom crashed just after it finished importing. I wasn't even touching the computer when it did that. However, when I brought it up it looked OK.
    For some reason it decided to have some of my keyword tags nested and some not. In other words, the same tag would appear nested under something and not nested. I had no idea how to merge tags (surely this is something one would want to do?) so I think I ended up losing some tagging, but I can live with that. Some other tags had lost their hierarchical structure but at least weren't duplicated.
    Folders also had lost their structure but that looks to be just an issue of dragging and dropping to fix it. They aren't physical folders in Lightroom.
    My most serious issue for me is the capture date. Elements supported not knowing the day and/or month. They are coming in here differently. July 1952 is June 30, 1952. I had previously checked and Exifer does display just what I entered in Elements: if only the year, then only the year, if the month and year, then the month and year. This is not coming over in Lightroom.
    I have thousands of slides we are scanning and I almost never know the exact day any slide was taken. I'm lucky to know the month. I was overjoyed that the capability existed in Elements to specify what you do know and not have to make up more that you don't know. I don't know how that is actually stored in the exif info, but like I said, Exifer did understand it.
    Any suggestions about what to do? Elements can't simply have used the last day of the month before or the last day of the year before because surely you could specify those dates explicitly.
    I'm going to have to get used to working with Lightroom. I was able to do things pretty quickly in Elements. Lightroom has a lot of stuff displayed on both sides and I have to figure out how to move around quickly. In paricular, the metadata area doesn't stay put to type in location, for example. The use more metadata fields and not just tags is one of the major reasons I am switching to Lightroom. I have lots of tags as well. I guess recent keywords are going to be very important.
    So now I have to go read the help, which so far doesn't seem very helpful.
    I had played around with Beta 4 so I know something about Lightroom.

    Can't be physical folders because they came in structured incorrectly compared to my disk. OK, they are physical folders in the sense that they contain what the corresponding physical folder contains but they do not need to have the same structure as your physical folder system.
    I was able to drag a couple of folders into the same relationship as my physical structure and it didn't do anything to my actual file system. Hum. I'm going to have to play around with this. The help is not very good.
    Version sets did not survive together in any way. Stacks seem to be stacked. I had more version sets, though. I guess I stack them.
