LR 2.1 Importing catalog from PSE4

When I use "Import from PSE5 or earlier" none of my caption data or tag information is imported into LR.
Is there a way to get the information from PSE4 to LR2.1?

Hey Geoff,
Great to hear from you, as always. :)
Well, there were more un-cataloged images that may have been contributing to the situation. I had created web-rez images for my client within subfolders of the main client folder. Once I synchronized, the images were added. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error message at the end of my import. Now, the weird thing is, if I import the LR catalog only, it disappears after the error message. But, if I tell the import to include the 'Digital Negatives', which includes all the session files (RAW,PSD, jpegs), after the import and then the error box, everything seems to be there and actually looks fine. At least as far as I can tell. I can see the all the files, the ratings, the keywords, etc. A little un-nerving though to say the least. I'm afraid to dump my original catalog and folders.
FYI, what's going on is that I work on my current client sessions (including all related files) off of my MacBook Pro as my 'Current' catalog. I then have my main LR Catalog (all other images) on a back-up RAID drive. So I'm trying to export from the MBP, over to the back-up RAID LR Catalog.
Again, the 'Export' seems to go fine. Not sure what's going on here.
Thanks for your help and input.

Is it possible to transfer a catalog from PSE4 to PSE11?

I am having difficulties in transferring my catalog from PSE4, on my old PC, to PSE11 on my new one. The main problem relates to the position of captions in images in full screen mode. In an online chat yesterday with an Adobe Technical Support guy, I was advised that a PSE4 catalog cannot be upgraded to PSE11. He suggested that it may be possible to achieve this by transferring the catalog from PSE4 to PSE6 or 9 and from there to PSE11, although he subsequently indicated that this may not resolve the difficulties either. Surely this cannot be correct, can it?

While I have no experience going from PSE4 to PSE11, the docs don't say there are any limitations on which earlier versions can be upgraded.

Like much of the advice you get from Adobe, I think this is way off the mark — but I have never tried this either

I have no idea what you mean by this, could you provide a screen capture?

Import Catalog from PE7?

Does anyone know how to import a PE7 catalog into Lightroom 2.1? All it seems to want to do is import PE6 catalogs.

It should be able to import Catalog from DVD. It won't open a Catalog on Dvd, just like it won't on a network drive.

Import catalog from CD or DVD

To keep catalogs manageable I remove folders from my main file and export them to a catalog. This I then burn to DVD. Lightroom cannot open this file because it is a removable disk which cannot write changes to. Please can you add in a feature to import or load catalog from DVD?

Import Catalog from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5

Hi,
I have just bought Lightroom 5 to replace my Lightroom 4. For one reason or another, it was cheaper for me to buy a new version, rather than an upgrade.
What is the best way to get Lightroom 5 to use my Catalogue from Lightroom 4? I am thinking, just open the catalogue (Lightroom 4 Catalog.lrcat). Or is there a better way.
Just one more thing, it seems a little slower than LR4 (the adjustment brush for example is not very responsive).
Thanks in anticipation

Import catalog from PSE 8 to LR2

Just purchased LR2 and it won't recognize my PSE 8 catalog. It found an outdated
PSE 6 catalog that it offered to import. Is there a way to get my PSE 8 catalog imported?
LR 3 beta appears to read PSE 8 catalogs, can I read a LR 3 catalog with LR 2 if I download
the LR 3 beta and import the catalog using that?
Is there a way to export the PSE 8 catalog into a PSE 6 format?
I suppose I can go with the old PSE 6 catalog, that will be better than nothing, but still a lot
of work I'd rather avoid.
Thanks,
Dan

At this time, LR2 does not import PSE7 or PSE8 catalogs.
Lightroom 3 can read PSE8 catalogs, but you can't convert that Lightroom 3 catalog to anything else.
So there is no way to convert your PSE8 catalog to Lightroom 2.
A partial workaround is to use John R Ellis's psedbtool to write metadata to your photo files, and then import the files into Lightroom 2. Some information will be lost under this method: stacks, albums, and any other information that cannot be stored in the photo files.

Import Catalogs from rev69 to rev74

Hello everyone
I'm testing a Catalog on a B1 PL12 environment with Rev74 of HANA
And I was wondering if after importing it I need to do something else
I have read the whole upgrade documentation but I didn't found anything specific that could answer this doubt.
Hope you'll be able to help me or walk me through some idea to test.

Can I import catalog photos from a usb drive?

I have imported photos from a catalog into a new catalog. Some of the photos in the catalog are located on a remote drive. The drive is not listed when I select the photos to be imported. Is it possible to import catalog photos from a usb drive?
Howie

Hi Keith,
"Import from another catalog" is a selection found in the Lightroom "File" drop down listing. Sorry I wasn't clear in my reguest. I have used this function to import photos in to my new Catalog from my old Catalog. During the import process, Lightroom creates a working catalog from which photos can be selected. A file list on the left side of the window displays the available hard drive folders. Once the photos to be extracted are selected the source folder is checked. The import button, on the bottom right of the window, is highlited to execute the import function. Since the external USB hard drive is not listed, the import function is not available.
My question: how do I enable the import from my USB drive? Perhaps I will have to move the files back onto my internal hard drive using my Lightroom's old catalog.

Export Catalog from PC Photoshop Elements 10 and Import Catalog to Mac Lightroom CC - How please?

Hello
I am running Photoshop Elements 10 on a Windows 7 PC and I want to move it to my Mac Lightroom CC / Photoshop CC.
I understand I need to export the catalog from PSE 10 and then import it to Lightroom or Photoshop CC.
I wonder if I could get some advice on how to do this?
Many thanks

Duplicate post -- already answered here.

I created a new Lightroom catalog for iPhone photos. After importing files from iPhoto photos are randomly popping up and deleting other photos! Is this a virus? A bug? A corrupt catalog? How do I fix it? I just installed 5.6 and that didn't resolve it.

I updated my computer software...I don't know what else to do and I can't find any information about this online.
Please help! Thanks.

Geoff for a few years I used iPhoto for my iPhone files.
Now that I am not using iPhoto any longer I attempted to move my old iPhoto phone files into my Lightroom iPhone catalog.
A couple possibilities are that:
1) There was a problem with the export/import from iPhoto to Lightroom. I've been reading up on how to do it correctly...
One article said to make a copy of the master catalog in iPhoto, export it and then import it into Lightroom. This is what I did.
I read another article that said exporting as Original from iPhoto and then importing into LR also worked so I did that with another iPhone catalog from my laptop.
2) Maybe it's a file name situation? Perhaps the phone rolled over and there are old and new files with the same names.
The strange thing about that is that older photos are popping up and replacing/deleting newer ones.
I would think the newer files would replace older ones if that was the case.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

Importing metadata from other catalogs

Can aperture import metadata from any programs except iPhoto? If not then is the only way to get data on old files into Aperture via embedded IPTC metadata? iView Media Pro and Extensis Portfolio can export metadata databases. I've got about 3000 keyworded photos in a Portfolio catalog - the keywords have not been embedded into the files and I was hoping to import the database into Aperture

Aperture imported basic metadata (Byline, State, etc.) that I had entered on some jpegs. However, it did not import anything on the thousands of DNG's I imported. Also didn't import anything one several test CRW+xmp sidecar files.
I'm guessing Aperture is taking the stance that the RAW files should never be modified... and if one follows that rule to the extreme, how would any RAW file have any IPTC metadata to import in the first place? So it doesn't bother to check for it, at least in my case.
I'm guessing any program that has a scripting interface that accesses metadata fields will be able to be scripted so one can transfer metadata. They basically work like this:
tell application Iview to get "city" metadata from "picture 1" and put this metadata in "city" metadata in "picture 1" in application Aperture.
This obviously isn't correct syntax, but there is no reason why you couldn't ask for a specific field of metadata from one program and store it in a completely different field, thus making up your own "custom" mapping. For example, you could ask for the "city" in one program and map it to the "Byline" in another program, if both programs expose these fields and the ability to read/write to them via Applescript.
