My photoshop elements 12 catolog is empty.  I had over 12000 pics.  what do I do

My photoshop elements 12 catalog is empty.  I had over 12000 pics and they are all gone.  what do I do

Most times when this happens, it just means that PSE forgot your original catalog for some reason and started a new one for you. Go to file>Manage catalogs and locate your old catalog, then repair and optimize it and it should work again.

  • Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics?

    Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics from card?

    Thanks for your response. When it comes to computers, I am almost
    illiterate. I have a HP Pavillion PC and have used Photoshop Elements 5.0
    for a number of years. Computer crashed couple of weeks ago and I sent it
    back to HP. They returned it with new guts I think. Had to reinstall my
    programs and use my external backup to get all the stuff back, including
    about 11,000 pics.  Now, every time I try to put the SD card in to download
    the pics to the Organizer, it downloads about 4 or 5 pics and freezes.
    Have to use task manager to get PC going again.  Been doing the same thing
    for years and this just happened since I got new PC back. Is that any help?
    'preciate your response.

  • Photoshop Elements 11/ Missing Color Profile CMYK - Does anybody know why + what to do?

    I am missing the color profile CMYK in the elements software I use.
    I need to convert some data form RGB to CMYK.
    Is there a setting I may change?
    Thanks for helping
    Regards,
    ChrizB

    If you only need to do this once, the easiest thing is to ask your printer to do it for you. They'll probably charge you something, but at least it will be done right. Properly converting to CMYK is considerably more complex than, say, converting from sRGB to Adobe RGB. There are a number of third party options for doing this--I think irfanview will do it in windows, and preview does it for macs, but those are pretty basic conversions that don't allow you to adjust for out of gamut colors.

  • Suddenly, my Photoshop Elements said "Licensing for this product has stopping working". What should I do?

  • Need help ASAP with photoshop elements 11

    Please I need help its photoshop elements 11 but I can't put up the pic I need help with could someone help me out by using Facebook, Amanda Jayne Clarke I have a pic of a little girl n a horse
    Please i need help ASAP

    well you can find many tutorials about how to change background in Photoshop Elements. It ranges all the way from using magic extractor to making a selection using lasso and magnetic lasso tools. But I really prefer using a mask for it. Here is how I would change the background of image A and use Image B as the background.
    Open image B in photoshop elements editor- expert mode.
    go to file->place and choose the image A to place over image B
    go to layers panel by choosing Window-> layers from menu bar. Right click the layer A choose simplify layer.
    with layer A selected, choose layer>layer mask> reveal All from menu bar. It would create a layer mask on the layer A.
    Select the mark layer of layer A, choose the brush tool and change foreground color to black. Paint all over the are you want to remove from the layer A. if you make an error, change the color white to get your image area back. it is a good practice to use lower opacity(~60) while using layer mark as it gives you more control over with how much opacity you want to remove the background
    Happy Editing

       win7 home premium  300gb hdd with 230 gb space left, turnef off virus scanner first, waited 1/2 hr, didn't work.
    The link to which I referred you to pointed out the versions of Windows 7 which supported use of Windows XP Mode. The home premium is not one of them. So, my check list at this time should not be pursued under those circumstances.
    Do you have any opportunity to upgrade your Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit to Windows 7 Professional?
    Windows 8 is not going to be an out since the Windows XP Mode is a Windows 7 perk for just selected editions of 7.
    Later tonight I am going to try to install Photoshop Elements 2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit and see what happens. I was able to get Photoshop Elements 3 installed there.
    More later.
