Migrating from PSE 7 on a PC to PSE 8 on a Mac.

I am unable to find a place in Bridge to restore my backup from PSE 7. I am sure there must be a way. If I simply place the picture files over on the iMac, the stacks are not maintained. In other words each photo may have several versions, all showing as a unique object. Additionally, my keyword data has been written to the metadata of each photo, but when imported the hiarchy is not maintained. All the keywords simply land in one group that is called "other keywords". How about a little help?

I am unable to find a place in Bridge to restore my backup from PSE 7.
That's because you can't do that. The organizer backup is strictly for the organizer's own use and you can't restore it from any other program.
As for your keywords, yes, you will need to re-establish your hierarchies. Drag a keyword onto another keyword in the Bridge keyword panel to create sub-keywords. You can create as many levels of hierarchy as you want. It's a pain, but it is a one-time thing, at least.
Stacking will also have to be redone. There's no way to tell other programs about stacks, although bridge does let you stack photos.

  • Migrating from PSE 5.0 Windows to PSE 6.0 Mac

    I am trying to figure out how to migrate from PSE 5.0 for Windows to PSE 6.0 for Mac.
    When I migrated from PSE4.0 to PSE5.0 (windows) I simply backed up and then restored the catalog.
    I have backed up the catalog from PSE 5.0 but don't know how to import the info into PSE 6.0 for Mac. Being as there is no Organizer window in the Mac version I assume it is done via Bridge, but didn't see anything to restore a catalog.
    Is it possible or do I just point Bridge at my photos and get it to create tags from the keywords embedded in the pics?
    All suggestions and hints welcome.

    As not many users here are familiar with Elements at all, I suggest you post in one of the Photoshop
    Elements
    forums down the hall.

    Can I upgrade to PSE 13 from PSE 10 on my Mac?

    Yes you can upgrade to the latest version from any previous version.
    Why not download the trial and try it free for 30 days.

  • Migrating from PSE for Windows 6 to PSE for Mac 6 including metadata

    Can't find anything in the knowledge base on this.
    I am giving up on Windows. Its just too messy and ugly. One of the final changes will be migrating from MS Windows Vista and PSE 6 to a brand new Mac, using LEopard 10.5.2 and PSE for Mac 6.
    I want to migrate my images from the Windows machine, as well as the metadata organizing information. Surely I am not the only one with this need. I know I can save the mages in a mutually readable file format, export, and have them on the Mac, but I have a great deal of metatdata and image organization in the Windows version of PSE 6.
    Please tell me how to migrate the entirety of PSE for Windows to my new Mac.
    Thanks.....

    Some related questions-- can Bridge CS3 search sub-folders? Could I filter for a Keyword at the top of a tree, and locate all files with that keyword in sub-folders?
    While exporting files from PSA2 on a PC I am using Share / Email to attach my existing keywords. Can they be drag-and-drop added to a Hierarchy in the Keywords panel? (Either from the Filter panel where they are automatically listed and counted, or from the "Other" location in the Keywords panel where they appear italicized?)
    I had deluded myself into believing that PSE6 for the Mac included Organizer. Would Lightroom be a logical option for organizing? Particularly if I want to catalog many images on CD without storing them on disk? Can it be purchased separately? What other options would you recommend?

  • Migration from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 - What steps?? (MAC)

    I am planning to migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 (Mac). I will continue to use the PE catalog in PE 11 to organize my library of 16,000+ photos.  Although I had considered moving to Aperture for my Digital Asset Manager (in order to more seamlessly work in an Apple environment), I have instead decided to stay with PE since I am familiar with it and happy with its functionality. 
    I am hoping that this forum can help me: I need to know what steps to follow to perform this migration.  (I am a non-technical user.  All I know thus far is  that I need buy a boxed version or PE11 -  NOT download it from the Apple app site - in order to get the cataloging function.)  I would like the process to enable me to port both my photos AND my hierarchical keyword tagging structure.  
    (Some background on why I am asking this question proactively: I was severely burned in a previous upgrade from PE 5 to PE 8 (Windows XP to  Windows 7) where ALL of my tagging got lost in the move. This, despite hours of work with the Adobe support team who had me write the keywords into metadata and re-backup, re-port, etc, etc.  It was a nightmare of many hours spent.  All unsuccessful.  I ended up manually re-tagging each of my photos.  Needless to say, I do not want to go through that again,)
    Thanks in advance for your help.  Amy

    Elements Downloader doesn't auto run on a mac. It's set up so that you always have to launch it from organizer.
    If you know you won't use iphoto, then it's a good idea to go to the iphoto preferences>General>When a camera is connected, and choose No Application, in which case the card will mount like a drive on your desktop and you can drag the photos from it or launch PSE Downloader, or choose Image Capture, in which case apple's own OS X downloader/scanner utility launches and you can use that, then File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to bring them into Organizer.
    For moving the catalog, the most important thing is to be sure the catalog is okay in windows first, so do go to manage catalogs>repair, and then optimize before backing up. The transfer is very easy when it works.

  • Migration from Photoshop Elements 8 (Windows 7 64 bit) to PE 12 (MAC)

    I am planning to move from a PC Windows 7-based system to a MAC.  As part of this move I will need to migrate Photoshop Elements from PE 8 in Windows to PE 12 on MAC.  Back in July, I previously asked what steps would be necessary to migrate to PE 11 on MAC, but I delayed making the move (waiting for the new MacBook Pro) and will now be migrating to PE 12. 
    Do I still follow the same steps for a (hopefully!) smooth transition of my tagged photos and catalog?  i.e., migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 12 (Windows).  Then from PE 12 (Windows) to PE 12 (MAC).  Are there any gotchas or caveats that I should be aware of?  I've read a few horror stories in various places and am nervous. 
    Thanks, Amy

    I'm a bit slow on implementation.  So far I have good news and bad news.  But bottom line, I need some additional help.
    First the good news: The upgrade in Windows from PE 8 to PE 12 went smoothly, with all tags and their hierarchical structure maintained.  Ditto for Albums which showed up under "Local Albums."
    I am now stymied with the bad news and hoping for more guidance:  I just got my new MacBook last week, with my data files transfered over from my Windows PC.  Unfortunately, the migration to PE 12 MAC (installed for me with the disc from the boxed version) did not make the transition smoothly.  All of my tags came in under "Imported Keyword Tags," with the hierarchical structure totally flattened, and they cannot be dragged-and-dropped into a renewed structure into People, Places, and Events tags, as appropriate.  Also, all of my Albums have disappeared. 
    I'm thinking that maybe I should restore the catalog.  But when I started to do so, I was asked to choose between New or Original Location.  Then, when I chose "original location" (not wanting to clutter my new hard drive with duplicates), PE 12 gave me a warning about the potential for changes to the existing file structure.  So I stopped and decided to come back to the Adobe Forum for more help. 
    Thanks in advance!  Again!  Amy

  • Failure to print from PSE 9.0 on MAC to Epson XP-800

    I cannot print photographic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem.  The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi.  I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded.  This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
    Any suggestions for solving this rather than just a workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).
    Grateful for any help.
    Stuart

    Hi Barbara B
    Thanks very much for this suggestion. 
    I followed this advice, both deletions and permission repairs.  This did allow me to print from PSE for the first time - very pleased with this.  Unfortunately the colour reproduction has now gone haywire (having been very good) and there are vertical lines on prints - this now applies to both PSE & iPhoto (the latter worked well before)
    Any further suggestions?  I feel we are close to cracking it but do not really understand what to try next. Please help if you can. Many thanks.

  • Migrating from PSE 5 old computer to PSE 8 new computer

    Can anyone give advice on the best way to transfer PSE 5 catalog and photo files from old system to new system. Old system: PSE 5 organizer/catalog on internal hard drive and photo files on two external drives (ran out of space on the first external drive). Now have new computer with with two large internal hard drives - plan to use one primarily for programs (e.g. Windows 7 and PSE 8) and the other reserved for the photo files. Thank you.

    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1
    Also, best not to mix up the two moves. Install PSE5 on the new computer, make sure everything is running properly, and only then convert the catalog to PSE8. In order to make sure everything is running properly on the new computer in PSE5, your photos have to be in the exact same folders on the exact same hard disk(s) as they were on the old computer (i.e. they have to be on the external drives, and the drives have to have the same letters as on the old computer)
    When it is time to move the photos to the internal hard drive (a third move!), do not do this in Windows. Let me say that again: do not do this in Windows. Should I say it a third time? You must move the photos using PSE Organizer commands, as described in http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos

  • Migrating from PSE 5.0 on Windows XP to PSE 8.0 on Windows 7

    I am running PSE 5.0 on Windows XP on my old computer.  Half of my images (about 55GB--or about 15,000 images) are on the C drive under My Pictures  (lots of folders under there).  The other half are on an external  USB drive which I will be moving to my new computer.   Can I just follow the full backup and restore suggestion for the earlier question today?  I understand about renaming the external drive and giving it the same drive letter but obviously the full path name for the images currently on the C drive will be different.  Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    I strongly recommend first upgrading to PSE 8 on the old computer, and then moving your catalog and photos to the new computer.  That will make troubleshooting much easier -- given that you're changing computers, version of Windows, and version of PSE, it's very possible you'll run into problems.  It's likely that PSE 8 will run fast enough on your old computer to do the upgrade (it will probably be sluggish).
    Then, once you've upgraded to PSE 8, you have two options for moving your catalog and photos:
    1. Use the backup/restore method:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1
    You'll need to restore all of your photos on the external drive or on the C drive -- you can't split them.  But this method is usually the most straightforward method to use, especially for people who aren't experienced Windows administrators.   After you do the restore, you could use PSE to rearrange the locations of your photos:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos
    2. Copy the catalog folder from the old computer to the new (do Help > System Info in the Organizer to find the location).   Copy the picture folders on the C drive from the old to the new.  Plug in the external drive to the new computer.  PSE 8 will correctly find your photos on the external drive even if the drive letter is different (because it uses the drive's volume serial number).  But because you're moving from XP to Windows 7, the paths of the folders on the C drive are likely going to be different, and if they are, you'll have to do File > Reconnect > All Missing to reconnect your catalog with the new location of the drive C photos.  The Reconnect command can take some patience and very careful reading to use:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Quickly_reconnecting_large
    Most people don't have the patience and get tripped up by it.

  • HT1444 how to migrate from yosemite beta to full vesion

    Hi
    how to migrate from yosemite beta to full vesion

    When I look in "about this mac" - it says Yosemite 10.10. Do I really need to download it again?
    I found on a blog that someone contacted the Apple service:
    “simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update” – that means the final version of the beta software you are given to test is what will be made public. So we’re on the same build as what is now in the App Store.
    My compute OSX is 10.10 but build is (14A388b) while some say that app store version is (build 14A389).
    Does it really make a difference? If I don't download it will it continue to update?

  • I've migrated from MobileMe to iCloud - can I still access my iDisk on my Mac and how?

    I've just migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and have noticed that iDisk on my Mac has disappeared. Is there still a way for me to access my iDisk on my Mac? Can I still sync with it before MobileMe is canceled altogether (June 2012)?
    Thanks in advance!

    iDisk is not a feature of iCloud.
    However, just log back into MobileMe in the MobileMe system preferences pane and your iDisk will be accessible again.

  • I am about to migrate from iMac (10.5.8) to the newest iMac. What is the OS version needed on the source mac to migrate to the new mac?

    When I tried migrating from iMac (10.5.8) to the newest iMac the target mac said I needed the latest OS on the source mac. I will install Snow Leopard on the source mac, will this do the trick? Or do I need to install Mountain Lion?

    I would forget about using any Migration system as all older programs you have on the older Mac, all PowerPC programs, won't work or migrate to the new system. Just network them over your home LAN and Copy your personal files over to the new Mac.
    But if you are Dead Set on using the Migration systems then the old Mac will need Snow Leopard installed.

  • Database import from PSE -half success

    Hello,
    I've just finished a mid-size database import from PSE to LR (32.000 mixed images).
    First observations:
    1. Unsuccessful migration of TAG hierarchy : some of the tags keep the hierarchy structure of PSE, most become flat. a given tag is divided sometimes in tow keywords (same keyword title!). a part is flat keyword, a part is child keyword
    2. complete disappearing of the PSE collections ! Oops
    3. Successful migration of the favorites(stars)
    4. Issues with dates (Creation date, capture date, etc.) - OOPS
    Overall for me this is a failure !
    Dommage as french are saying :(
    LR can be very useful, but only if it understands other Adobe application wihtout faults !
    overall comparison on performance : PSE is unsupportably slow at this size for basic file action (delete from catalog, file delete), LR performs better, meanwhile the on-the-fly preview generation is slower.

    You never assign a value (True/False) to your function (ImportDBData). I would suggest googling "VBScript Function Syntax" to get a better understanding if you don't understand my answer.

  • Creation of domain issues - migration from weblogic 10.3.0 to 10.3.5 versio

    Hello,
    i would like to kindly ask for a help with following issue:
    Basically we are migrating from the 10.3.0 to the 10.3.5 version. We are building the domain using the template in "silent mode". And when i try to create the domain with new weblogic 10.3.5 im getting some errors.
    The command to run the creation of the domain is following:
    ${WL_HOME}/common/bin/config.sh -mode=silent -silent_script=${SILENT_SCRIPT} -log=${WLLOGFILE} >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1

    I tried to google for this issue, look into the weblogic documentation but with no luck.
    So i would like to kindly ask, if anyone of you perhaps could give me a hint/advise with this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    thanks for the reply but im not sure if we are talking about the same thing. What i need is to upgrade the weblogic "DOMAIN" not the weblogic installation itself.
    Anyway,
    after some googling and testing im again stucked with another issue:
    1. First i have created the old doman (10.3.0)
    2. Then i have tested the domain with the new weblogic version 10.3.5 - as it should be (and is) compatible within those 2 versions
    ---> worked fine
    3. Then via offline WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) i have managed to create new template with command writeTemplate(nameOfTemplate.jar)
    4. But when i try to create the new domain with the new template via WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) im again stucked (im able to read the template in wlst but not able to writeDomain ) - error:
    wls:/offline> readTemplate('/home/wg372/tmp/new_template.jar')
    wls:/offline/BmDomain>writeDomain('/home/wg372/tmp/new_domain')

    I tried to have a look around for the "The application location must have write permission." problem but again with no luck.
    Furthemore when i try to do the same with old domain template, with old version of WLST (of weblogic 10.3.0), i have no problems with creating of the domain.
    Any ideas?
    Ill keep you updated :-)
