Missing albums after reinstallation of photoshop elements 12.

I have just restored my catalog after a reinstallation of photoshop elements 12 due to some corruption on my laptop (not in photoshop). I have the images but my albums aren't there, it is just showing the folders on the external harddrive where the images are held. Can anyone advise?

Hi, I tried the reinstall but the restore hasn’t worked. When set up for restore catalogue from my back tly file. It said that it was an incremental back requiring 7 discs but I have only ever backed up to the same back up file. After initiating the restore it asked for the next file but there was only the one file.

After reinstallation of Photoshop Elements 12 program no longer works?

I had to get a new laptop. I do not remember deactivating / uninstalling Photoshop Elements 12 from my old laptop, but it is uninstalled (I know because my son is using my old laptop now). I installed Photoshop Elements 12 on this laptop and it worked fine upon installation. After turning off the computer and rebooting, the Adobe account manager asked be to update. It failed midway through and Photoshop will no longer open. Not from the shortcut. Not from the menu. Not from its executable file on the C: drive. I looked on my account and I cannot see how I would decactivate Photoshop Elements 12 if it happens to be activated for some reason on my old laptop.
So,
1. first, how do I "decativate" without being able to open a Photoshop Elements Program (to make sure that is not the problem)? And, if it is not the problem,
2. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
Thanks!

Migration from "Adobe Photoshop Album Decouverte" to "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12"

Hello,
Is it possible to migrate all the data I have in Adobe Photoshop Album Decouverte and import it in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 ?
Thank you for your advice !
Marc

Finally I could solve the problem.
I tried to import the Backup.tly in Photoshop Elements, but without success. Even there an Error appeared. The conversion tool also still got this failure at a progress of 15% conversion... So I searched a reason for the failure in google and found this helpful article from Adobe. It says that you should look for the corrupt images in the log file. So did I, and I found the error causing picture on the old computer and deleted it. After that I opened Photoshop Album, clicked on "File > Reconnect all missing files" and deleted this picture from the catalog.
Now I didn't want to make the backup again, because the last nearly had 1h. So I decided to try it again by just copying the catalog.psa from the old computer to the new one and to convert it again with the conversion tool. The error came again, but at a progress of 22% So i had to do this a few times: Searching the corrupt image in the log file, deleting it on the old computer, deleting the missing file in Photoshop Album and converting it. And finally, it worked, no error after conversion! I let photoshop elements 13 open the new .pse13 file. Now, all tags and albums were back on Photoshop Elements. Eventually, I let the programm searching the new paths of all the images. It takes a time but it works great now. Thanks for your help, I would recommend the Adobe Community & support!

How to go from Photoshop Album Starter Edition to Photoshop Elements?

I have both Photoshop Album Starter Edition and Photoshop Elements on my computer. I didn't even know I had the PSA SE--I just assumed it was part of Photoshop Elements when it automatically opened after I stuck my photo disk in. So I started playing around with it and cataloged my new photos. Then I started Photoshop Elements, and none of the cataloging or tags that I had just entered in PSA SE were there. Is there any way to transfer the information from PSA SE to Photoshop Elements without having to retype everything?

You need to locate the PSA SE catalog file. It is called My Catalog.PSA and is Docs&Settings somewhere [in a hidden folder]. Once you have located it, in PSE organizer do File/Catalog/Open and navigate to the file you just located. It will be converted and everything should work OK.

I don't think adobe offers an upgrade path from photoshop album 2.0, but you can find photoshop elements

They are both the full versions anyway.

Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12? I just upgraded from 10 to 12 and wanted to know if it is safe or if there would be any issues with uninstalling and removing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

Yes you can, if you are happy with the way PSE12 is running.
However both apps will happily co-exist, and there is no duplication as both use the same images on your hard drive.
PSE10 also has some features now removed from PSE12 as Adobe transitions towards 64 bit applications. See my PSE12 first look link:

Elements 2.0 is an old version. The message may be due to the fact that your new HD is much bigger than your older one, and not due to the classical reasons:

Converting Catalogs From Photoshop Album (2.0) to Photoshop Elements 13

My Photoshop Album currently holds some 23,000 photographs/jpgs from 2003 to date. Each is catalogued to provide a very high level of granularity to assist in identifying specific photographs and their subject content.
I have purchased Photoshop Elements to update the management of the collection. The Adobe information identifies it to be a suitable successor but indicates that there is likely to be some effort required to update the catalog. Using Catalog Manager I have attempted to Convert the old catalog which didn’t work because it “couldn’t be seen” in Elements. Further research of the Forum and other Adobe resources pointed to the Catalog Conversion Utility. Again this also failed to work.
I then reduced the number of photographs to about 4,500 (year 2014). I have noted by the way that this has had virtually no effect on the psa file size. As I gradually Deleted photos from the Catalog I have come across about 100 items which cannot be deleted and returns the following error message….
The ODBC data source reported the following error:
“[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Indicator variable required but not supplied on column number 10 (fDateTimeHigh)”
I have tried a number of ways to delete the photos including removing them from their folder; “Reconnecting the Missing File” with/without the same name in a different Folder; and generally getting myself very frustrated with my lack of knowledge. Googling/search for help and pointers hasn’t found the solution.
What or where can I find a way of deleting these errant files? (I have MS Access if this is a tool that might get me the solution.)
Note that one very old and small Catalog did convert and successfully integrated into Elements so it all works in principle. It seems to point to these problem jpgs.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes. Thanks for your reply. Just shows my age doesn't it! I've really got to upgrade my system from Windows 3.1.
Still it lasted me for quite a few years over its various issues and wasn't a bad investment for me considering I think it was a magazine cover freebie, though I can't remember whether it was issued on 5" or 3" disks!!!
Interesting to note that conceptually the original design was quite good and together with the new face recognition technology which is as good if not better than Picasa the PSE13 Organiser does a good job. It's a pity Adobe doesn't promote more of this side of the product. I wasn't able to find the replacement to Album as it was starting to struggle as the photo count increased and I hadn't been able to find an obvious replacement. Still that's over now.
All I have to do now is to raise a query as to how to order/sort certain tags and it's a near perfect product for me. Can't find the answer in the Manual(s) or FAQs - or I'm not using the correct query key words.

Transfering tags from Album 2.0 to Photoshop Elements 9.0

I'm trying transfer my pictures and tags to a new computer. the old platform was Win XP with Photoshop Album 2.0 (PA2) and the new computer is Win 7 64bit with Photoshop Elements 9.0. (PE9)
So far I have been successful in moving the photos to a directory on the new computer and I can view the photos in PE9. But the tags did not transfer to the new catalog.
I must be missing something basic. Is there an additional file that needs to be transfered to make the old tags work on PE9?
Looking forward to anyone's suggestions.
Cheers,
Andy

In theory, yes you can transfer tags from PSA2 to PSE9, however because of the large distance between the versions, sometimes the method fails.
The preferred method is to convert the PSA2 catalog file to PSE9. To do this, you need to create a backup using PSA2 (File->Backup Catalog), and then move everything from this backup to the new computer, launch PSE9, and then File->Restore Catalog. As I said, sometimes with older versions of PSE/PSA, the method fails, you won't know until you try it.
Another possibility (not really sure if PSA2 had this capability) is to have PSA2 write the tags to the individual photo files, then copy all the photos to the new computer and import to PSE9.

Will Lightroom find and include/manage albums created previously with Photoshop Elements 11

I have been using PE 11. I had to "rebuild" my computer after a hacking attack and in the process I lost my PE 11 program but of course still have all the photos and albums which were filed and processed by that program. My question is, will Lightroom be able to recognise and include
those images? Will it be a seamless transition?

Hey tom72photo (or is it tom61photo?)
I just re-read your original statement carefully
and in the process I lost my PE 11 program but of course still have all the photos and albums which were filed and processed by that program
You don't have the program any more? You should be able to download it at no charge from Adobe. But the important question is: do you have the PSE 11 catalog file? I think you will need both for the command File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog to work. It's not sufficient that you have the photos, you need to install PSE 11 and also have the PSE catalog file.

Reinstallation of Photoshop Elements 12

I had to reinstall PSE 12 but only the editor appears. Photoshop Elements Organizer is missing. There exits no file and no related path. I use Windows 7. I have deleted all registry entries but even after several time of installing and uninstalling I can not see any improvement. Do I have to wait for Version 13?

Is Elements Organizer folder not present inside program files? Are you encountering any errors while installing PSE12? If so, please post a snapshot of the error.
If not, uninstall PSE once more and make sure that it is removed completely from the system (there are no residual folders inside program files). Reboot system , turn off your anti virus for sometime and then install PSE12 with right clicking setup as 'Run as admin'. Please let me know if your issue is not resolved.

Install After Platform Swap Photoshop Elements 12 & Premiere Elements 12

I've been emailed links to allow me to download Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 after swapping platforms. When I download the installation file to my mac it runs but when it comes to the 'sign in' screen, once I click on the sign in button it just looks like its attempting to sign in. It sits for hours though and doesn't move on any further. I have tried several times but to no avail. Am I missing something?

Screenshots below
Sits on last screen for hours without moving forward through the installation process.

Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 and Photoshop Elements 11

Is Photoshop Album 2.0 compatible with Photoshop Elements 11?
At present I am running this old software on Windows 7 and sometimes it tells me to reinstall the software. If I buy Elements 11 will I still be able to access my old photos which are stored in a photowell in Album 2?

Good day!

Unable to open Bridge CS6 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

I have been using Bridge CS6 successfully until I installed Photoshop Elements 8 to use with a scanner I bought. After the installation, when clicking on Bridge CS6 it opens Bridge CS5. I had a look at some of the forums and tried Ctrl-clicking on Bridge CS6, but it still opens Bridge CS5. I have also re-installed Photoshop CS6 in the hope that this will fix it. Any suggestions as how to get Bridge CS6 going again will be appreciated!

Thanks for the replies. I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/ I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop. I restarted my computer. Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened. I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked. Don't ask my why, but it did the job!

Missing advanced dialog box in photoshop elements 9

I am hoping someone out there can help. I have a missing advanced dialog box on my photoshop downloader page. I have photoshop elements 9. I saw that changing the screen resolution can sometime help this, however it does not in my case, I've tried all available. I have a new Dell Inspiron laptop and resolution is set at 1366 X 768. My computer was preloaded with photoshop elements 8. I can see the advanced dialog box in version 8. However, it is not in version 9. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for your help.

Check your screen resolution settings for vista.
I believe the screen resolution needs to be at least 1024 x 768 for the camera raw dialog to show in pse 8.
For example, if instead of running VirtualBox full screen, your running it in windowed or seamless mode and made the window smaller by dragging on the corner, that would automatically lessen the screen resolution in vista.
