My Catalogue PSA SE 3.2

When I try to import the original of a photo that has been edited into My Catalog (so I can do a second, different edit) I am denied and told that the photo has already been imported, but I am unable to find it anywhere. I have tried the File - Reconnect to... but all that does is start a search for music album covers. The photos that are in My Catalog are a bit of a mystery to me: generally they are the edited versions of photos I have edited (but not the originals)and a bunch of other photos that are there for no discernible reason. In case it is relevant I load my photos into a folder separate from PSA. Does anyone know why the already-imported original is not visible or what I do to recover it? Thank you.

Hi Gary,
PSA associates the edited version with the original. I would suggest
creating a duplicate item by right clicking on the image and creating a
duplicate.
THEN do you changes the "second" time.
Cheers

Automatic reconnect missing files doesn't work after moving to new pc

In edit-->preferences-->files there is a check box to automatically search for and reconnect missing files. I have checked it and it doesn't appear to do anything. Using File-->reconnect all missing files it seems to find them OK, but you need to click 'reconnect' for every file! I have just moved my pics to a new pc so the path is different. I tried editing the 'My Catalogue.psa" file in Access, search and replace the path, and even that didn't work! 1000s of pics! HELP!!!

Attempted to uninstall Quicktime. The uninstall will not finish, saying it encountered a fatal error. Quicktime will not run, either.
when a QuickTime uninstall throws that message at folks, it's usually best to try completely scraping the itunes and QuickTime program files and installation configuration information from the PC, and doing a careful staged reinstall afterwards.
try the technique in the following post. (it includes instructions on what to do if Add/Remove isn't letting you uninstall one of the programs.)

Can't see original and edited Pic in My Catalogue

I started using Photoshop Album Starter Edition yesterday. And I'm pretty sure that when I edited a picture, the catalog would insert the edited version right next to the original.
Now, I cannot see both the original and the edited version. I see in the catalogue only originals I have not edited and the edited versions of all the others.
In Windows Explorer it is clear that the original picture is there. Also, I can click on it and open with Starter Edition (Viewer), but that only lets me see a slide show version - no editing.
I've tried reconnecting and finding (using menus and buttons) and I get an error message that the file(s) is/are already in the catalogue.
The Show All option is on in the catalogue, BTW, and I have tried this on two different computers with separate downloads of APA SE (downloaded at separate times) with the same result
If I change the filename slightly - e.g. file001.jpg => file001a.jpg, then I can import the picture, but renaming all the files would be a burdensome process.
How can I view and edit both the original versions and the edited versions right next to each other?
Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm glad I wasn't going crazy, and there's a reason the originals weren't viewable. If I understand you correctly, the original can come back into view in PSA SE if I choose to "revert."
Question:
Does "Revert" mean that (1) the edited image disappears altogether - i.e., is deleted - or (2) the image doesn't show up in PSA SE's catalog any more, but still exists physically on the drive?
As to why I'm trying to fight PSA's help: Sometimes I just want to see the original and the edited versions to see if I really prefer the edited version better, or want to try different editing options. I know you can do this side by side in the "before & after," but the images there are not very large.
And I guess you're right about duplicating if I want to do different things with the same image, but that requires planning ahead, a trait which I ....
So, Question:
Is there some way to fight back and win, i.e., get the catalog to show both the originals and edits, other than individually renaming each original file and importing it again?
If not, then I'll have to look at the images side by side in windows explorer or do the duplicate option.
Thanks again!

Catalogue to be imported in Photoshop CS

Hi everyone, i have a question. Is it possible to import the tags and data from my catalogue in Photoshop Album Starter Edition to the file browser in Photoshop CS? I have a lot of pics and don't want to tag all files again.
Thanks
peter

<<When you import you get a dialog that invites you to accept the tags.>>
No, it does not invite me to accept the tags. I know it is supposed to, but it does not.
<<The other way to do this would be to run PSE on the machine that currently has PSA SE. Convert the catalog and use PSE's write tags command.>>
How will PSE running on the old machine recognize the tags any better than PSE running on the new machine? How does one "convert" a catalog?

Error importing Elements 8 (PSE8) catalogue in Lightroom 3 (LR3)

Help!
(using windows XP with SP2, on a mac running VMware; hence all the adobe software is running in the windows operating system)
I previously owned Adobe photoshop album 2.0. Photos organised in collections, tagged and many photos have captions.
I have tried to the upgrade path to LR3.
I used a trial version of Photoshop elements 5 (PSE5). I managed to sucessfuly import the PSA 2 catalogue, fully preserved.
I used a trial version of Photoshop elements 8 (PSE8) and also managed to sucessfuly import the PSA 5 catalogue, and also fully preserved.
I bought the student edition of Lightroom 3 (LR3). on opening it, I try then to convert the PSE8 catalogy. It seems to start the process and the progress bar gradually fills to about half way before it stops. The message displays: "Lightroom encountered problems when trying to upgrade photoshop elements
> catalog and cannot complete the operation"
I tried several times, and always the same.
Has anyone else had this problem or have an answer?
Best wishes
Philip

Hi Becky
I wanted you to know that it worked. It imported/upgraded the elements
8 catalog seamlessly.
I have basically managed to uprgade all the way from adobe photoshop
album 2.0 to Lightroom 3.2 by first upgrading to Elements 5, then
Elements 8. Everything seems to be intact (ie collections, tags etc)
PS I now have Elements 3.2 on windows xp and want to merge that
converted catalog with the new one for Light room 3 on my mac. I
presume I must first upgrade to LR3.2 on the mac. But how do I then
merge the windows XP version (which has 10,000 plus photos) with my
recently installed Mac one (which has 1000 plus photos)?
Many thanks
Philip

Upgrade to PSE 10- Importing catalogue/tags from PSE4

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 4 to Elements 10. Will Photoshop Elements 10 automatically import my photo catalogue from Elements 4 including all the tags? If not can this be done manually?

Sorry for delay, got bogged down trying to get the laptop restore to work which was a waste of time because it's hard disc was too small !
As suggested by dj the restore from my PSE4 backup appeared to work and on completion it went into an automatic conversion and also said it had converted successfully. However it gave the message :-
"The catalog named My Catalog.psa has been converted for use with this version of Elements Organizer and the original catalog has been renamed to "d:\xxxxx\My Pictures\My Catalog.psa 1"
On closing this message window I get thumbnails created for a catalog shown as My Catalog 1, which the above message implies is is the unconverted catalog ?
If I open My Catalog it says "No items have been imported to this catalog" !?
So is something wrong or is he conversion message misleading ?
I have an additional problem in that the drive letter on my new PC is different to the original was single drive, new has 2 drives). So for the restore I specified "New Location", pointed at the My Pictures folder under which I wanted the photos. I also requested "Preserve original file structure". This seems to result in the full path from the original PC including "Documents and Settings\User\My Pictures\...." etc beneath the My Pictures which is very cumbersome ! I did try without the "Preserve original ..." but while this didn't create the unwanted additional folder levels it also removed the required folder structure within My Pictures (not surprising really I suppose !).
Is there a "easy" way of moving the folder structure around or would it have to be done for each tagged level ?
Think we're making progress though !

Reinstalling catalogues from Elements 4

Hi, my PC motherboard recently died so I had to upgrade the whole lot. I did a fresh install of XP (as it wouldn't boot with new Motherboard,cpu,gpu etc) and reinstalled PSE4 (And a trial version of PSE7). I let both find my images (now on a different HD) to build my catalogue but obviously I dont have all my Tags and collections (albums?) that I had previously. I did manage to import some tags but I mostly have collections (Holiday 07 etc). I still have the original installation of PSE4 on my now spare drive - is there any way of copying over a config file of some kind to get my collections back? And will it work now that my photos are on a different drive? I have a few plugins as well but these are not so important - I can always download them again.
Thanks, Liam.

You have to find your catalog file from the old hard disk. The default name is My Catalog.psa. It may be in a hidden folder.
If you can find that, put it on your new computer's hard disk. For it to work, your photos have to be at the exact same location as they were on the old computer. In other words, the drive letter, folder location and file name must be the same. If that is the case, just double click on the My Catalog.psa file, and you should be up and running.
If the files are not in the exact same location as before, you need to move things around so now they are in the exact same location as before. (Alternatively, you could try the PSE command File->Reconnect, but I prefer just moving the files/folders back to where they were.) Once you have your catalog up and running, you could move the photos to wherever you want them, using PSE commands.

Can PSA 3 SE coexist on same system as PSE 3 ?

Can PSA 3 SE coexist on same system as PSE 3 ?
I am asking this question for a classroom environment.
Based on the minimum information available on the Adobe site, I can not tell if the PSE 3 Organizer and PSA 3 SE will conflict either in program files or the Catalog.
Barb O

This is a strange beast. The default is still My Catalog but there is no
ability to customize where the catalogue will go, nevermind if you want to
create another one.
>
> Location and name of the default catalog - are they the same ?
I'll have to check on the other computer for PSA 2. I just have CS 2 on this
one. For some reason I thought I also had PSE 3.0, but I don't.
Sorry for the screw up Barbara. That said, the extension is the same. This
looks to me as though PSA 3 SE won't read other catalogs... but I'll have to
test it at the house. I'm at the school right now.
It also includes a small item that says "upgrade to PSE", so it is
compatible... but as you are right to be concerned... I still need to
install it with PSE to see about running it in parallel. As I look at
this... I can't see any advantage to.

Cannot move photo from catalogue to all pictures in "home" location

I have adobe starter edition 3, windows xp. Computer is Dell 2400 (IBM), printer is PIXMA MP530. I have some pictures on fotki that I want to place in the "home" part of ADOBE, where all of my pictures can be seen. I am able to download to desktop. It seems as if I click on the ADOBE picture album folder, the photo would replace the picture album folder. When I download to the desktop, the photo is placed in the catalogue. When I try to place it in the home location, a "cannot place in location: picture already in catalgoue" message. I cannot see the photo unless I type in the file name and search using "find". I would like to be able to see this photo in the home folder. There are too many photos that need to be downloaded (a computer accident destroyed some photos, but I can download the original photo from fotki).
How can I place the photos in the "home" loaction?
Please reply to [email protected] Thank you.

Can not view data in a request from psa

Dear experts,
I have a problem with data in psa. If a select a mange of PSA, I see some request. I select one of them to see data. But there is no data. How is it possible?
If you delete a reques from psa, that request desappears from the psa, doesn't it?
Thanks in advance,
yeberri

it dosn't work. The problem is that you can see different green requests in manage from psa, but it is not possible to see internal data.
If I try to see data with se16 and the psa table, there are data for one request, but not for request that i need.
any idea? is very important to rescue this request.
thanks for your help.

Error while updating data from PSA to ODS

Hi Sap Gurus,
I am facing the error while updating data from PSA to ODS in BI 7.0
The exact error message is:
The argument 'TBD' cannot be interpreted as a number
The error was triggered at the following point in the program:
GP44QSI5RV9ZA5X0NX0YMTP1FRJ 5212
Please suggest how to proceed on this issue.
Points will be awarded.

Hi ,
Try to simulate the process.That can give you exact error location.
It seems like while updating few records may be no in the format of the field in which it is updated.

Data loaded successfully in RSA3, but can not find data in BW PSA

Dear all:
We have custom datasource enhanced through BADI. For one column, in the source system RSA3, I can see this field populated with data, but in BW, when I load the data in PSA and check, this field is blank...
I tried seeral ways like re-replicate datasource, delete the datasource in BW and re-replicate, but not work.
Did anybody meet the same situation before? How to handle this issue?
Any post would be appreciated and thank you all in advance!
Tim

Hi Pavan:
Thanks for your reply.
I don't have any selection field for this datasource, and the number between ECC and BW matches. Actually the problem is only for one field, on ECC side RSA3, this field are populated with values, while in BW PSA, this column is there, but all the content are blank.
I do call one function module called to populate that field:
CALL FUNCTION 'CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS'
 EXPORTING
 CLASS = ''
 CLASSTEXT = 'X'
 CLASSTYPE = '023'
 CLINT = 0
 FEATURES = 'X'
 LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
 OBJECT = W_OBJECT
 OBJECTTABLE = 'MCH1'
 KEY_DATE = SY-DATUM
 INITIAL_CHARACT = 'X'
 NO_VALUE_DESCRIPT =
 CHANGE_SERVICE_CLF = 'X'
 INHERITED_CHAR = ' '
 CHANGE_NUMBER = ' '
 TABLES
 T_CLASS = ITAB_CLASS
 T_OBJECTDATA = ITAB_OBJECTDATA
 I_SEL_CHARACTERISTIC =
 T_NO_AUTH_CHARACT =
 EXCEPTIONS
 NO_CLASSIFICATION = 1
 NO_CLASSTYPES = 2
 INVALID_CLASS_TYPE = 3
 OTHERS = 4
 IF ITAB_OBJECTDATA IS NOT INITIAL.
 READ TABLE ITAB_OBJECTDATA INTO wa_OBJECTDATA WITH KEY atnam = 'ZLOBM_PLNTMFG'.
 <LS_ESMI_BW_MD_ZBATC0001>-ZORIGPLNT = wa_OBJECTDATA-AUSP1.
 ENDIF.
The code is very simple, it just call the standard FM and fetch the value from the return table, is there any thing wrong with my code?
Thanks!

DTP can Not extract data of date field from PSA to Target DSO

Hi everyone.
I enhanced several fields in datasource "2LIS_12_VCITM". that is date field "BLDAT" and another date type fields.
The data of date type fields are extracted very well from datasource to PSA.
But only field "BLDAT" among them are NOT extracted from PSA to target DSO.
Another date type fields is good. but only "BLDAT" field is empty.
I added "BLDAT" later than another date fields.
Is that the reason??
I don't know why.
Let me know the solution. pls~~~~

Hi,
Try deleting and recreating the DTP and loading again.
This solution refers to note 925941 and should be solved in SPS10.
Best regards,
Olav
