Migrating from Photoalbum 2.0 to Photoshop Elements 7 - how to preserve catalog?

This is a newbie question - we only want a good photo organiser.
We have Adobe Photoalbum 2.0 currently and with 11,000 images think it's running out of steam.
Advised by Adobe that this product has ended and they suggest move to Photoshop Elements 7. We have 100s of hours invested in editing and tagging images using Photoalbum 2.0. Can Elements import the entire catalog and preserve the hiding of originals of edited images + the tagging/cagorisation?
Thanks!

PSE 7 should be able to convert your catalog. However, there are bugs in the conversion process and you may encounter problems. I suggest reading this FAQ  and the referenced Adobe tech notes first:

  • How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12?

    How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12? Do I restore from a backup?  I have over 12,000 pics ( a good portion with multiple versions) and don't want to lose captions and metadata. Thank you in advance for your help.

    If this is on the same computer just install PSE 12. It should find your old catalog and upgrade it to PSE 12. If for some reason it doesn't, then go to file>manage catalogs, find your old catalog and tell PSE 12 to convert it.
    If this is a new computer, then yes, full backup and restore.

    http://adobe.ly/QAckAp

    The title implies "importing photos & videos from previous versions" and only deals with "Organizer".  It does not mention if regular "JPG" or other formats need to change.   It does not discuss if images have been moved from one location to another folder or directory.  It does not discuss any issues of previous versions or backward compatability of formats.

  • I cannot download my pics from my flash drives into Photoshop elements 11.

    I cannot dowmload my pics from my flash drives into Photoshop elements 11. Each time I try it gets to about 15% and then Photoshop crashes. It is not the flash drives as other programmes on my computer open them without a problem. Please help

    Hi Neale,
    That was my first thought as well, I do know that Photoshop sometimes gets a surge of shite to the brain and refuses to download the movie formats.
    However after your mail I went again, through every individual pic/, about 1500 of them and yea, you were right there was one bloody movie file.
    Thanks so much really appreciate your help.

    I have changed from pc to mac and photoshop elements 2.0 disk does not install on mac

    Hi keltystu,
    You are doing 2 things wrong:
    1. you are trying to run EXE file(installer) on MAC
    2. You are trying to run a very old application on latest configuration which is not compatible and may not fulfill the appropriate requirement.
    Thanks

  • How can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

    how can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

    You can download the 7.1 DNG converter to make copies of your canon raw files in the adobe dng format, which can then be opened in pse 9.
    As said above the the latest camera raw plugin 6.5 for pse 9 won't open those files directly, but will open the the converted dng files.

  • How do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements for editing?

    how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?
    this is an iMac that I just got so its all new to me...
    thank you

    If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
    You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 - how do I upgrade to 11

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 - how do I upgrade to 11. I tired downloading 11 but got an error message.

    You would have to upgrade to the current version 12 by purchasing it.  Adobe doesn't sell older versions of their software, so if you want to by an upgrade to version 11 you would have to look for some third party vendor which you are less likely to find for an upgrade purchase - and purchasing from a 3rd party vendor can be chancy. 

  • I'm getting a error that says NONE when I'm trying to reset up Adobe Photoshop Element. How do I fix it?

    I'm getting a error that says NONE when I'm trying to reset up Adobe Photoshop Element. How do I fix it? I already have the program but updated my computer from Vista to windows 7, and it didn't transfer over. What do I do?

    Sorry, but I'm not clear when you get the message NONE.
    Which version of Photoshop Elements do you have?
    Have you installed Photoshop Elements on your Windows 7 system?
    What are you doing when you get the message NONE?

    Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
    You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.
