Need instructions for restoring a Photoshop Elements 3 backup with incrementals

This seems like it should be in the documentation, but I can't find it.  The help docs only seem to explain restoring a full backup.
I've done a full backup with PSE 3, and have also done a couple of incremental backups since.  I'm putting these all on an external USB hard drive, with each backup (full and incremental) in its own folder.
If I had to restore the entire catalog in the future, should I start by restoring the full catalog, and then go back and restore each incremental backup on top of what I've already done?
Or should I start at the last incremental and restore it first.  And if I did that, would PSE automatically restore all previous incremental backups from that point and the original full backup, or do I need to go back and restore all of those manually?
Thanks for your help.

  • Restore a photoshop elements 5 backup.tly to CC

    I would like to restore a photoshop elements 5 backup.tly from dvd. Actual i do use Creative cloud PS CC. Lightroom etc. but no elements. Any worktrhrouhg without installing elemensts?

    Thanks for this suggestion. I tried, but pse 13 dienied the import, because pse 5.5 tly is not longer supported...
    Any other possebility?
    Yes.
    It looks like the conversion of catalog versions from Elements 5 must be made when converting to 64 bits Windows versions:
    http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82741
    So, you could download the catalog converter to create a valid PSE13 catalog.
    Now, the problem I see ist that the current Lightroom version (5.6) is not yet able to convert PSE13 catalogs . I am confident that the next LR version will include that possibility.
    I doubt you could download a trial version of PSE12, which would solve your problem, but maybe other forum members could suggest a solution?
    Could you find someone with a running verstion of PSE12 who could convert your catalog.psa catalog to a PSE12 catalog folder?
    Edit:
    If you are in a hurry, and if you can follow the steps to get a correct PSE13 catalog with the trial version, you can 'write metadata to files' so that your picture files can be imported in Lightroom with their tags, ratings and notes. You won't recover stacks, collections or version sets though.

  • Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install.

    Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install. Support Advisor is of no help.Anyone had the same problem? It has all worked perfectly for some years now, but refuses this week.Has Adobe changed something.Windows 7.

    What exactly means "refuses"?
    This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
    “We've encountered the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
    Get Adobe Support Advisor”
    OR
    on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
    “Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
    When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed.  Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

  • The Examples They Show Are not for my computer I Need instructions For A Windows Computer HP TouchSmart

    The Examples They Show Are not for my computer I Need instructions For A Windows Computer HP TouchSmart

    hp
    The answers are in the details, and you have not given us enough details to help you.
    Right now I am guessing at what you seek. Are you trying to use your HP Touch Screen to do your
    Premiere Elements importing, editing, and exporting and the Touch Screen movements are not working
    to do what you want to do in Premiere Elements?
    Have you configured the HP computer Touch Screen? Using the Touch Screen, what cannot you do
    that you can do with the mouse?
    HP Support document - HP Support Center
    If I am guessing correctly here, does the mouse work instead of the Touch Screen to allow you to
    work in the program.
    I suspect that Premiere Elements does not support Touch Screen and you will end up using a mouse, but I would need to do more homework on
    that.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you are dealing with the current version, 13, you might want to contact
    Adobe about the matter. More on that later, once you confirm the above or let me know that I have completely
    misinterpreted your question/concern.

  • Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w

    I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
    Appreciate any guidance.

    Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
    On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
    Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
    Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
    Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
    Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency"

  • Need instructions for downloading/installing Flash Player

    Need instructions for downloading/installing Flash Player in my PC

    Hi, This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall link:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    This is the Adobe Troubleshooting Guide which you may want also to review. I would suggest using the Manual Installers which you can download and SAVE to your Desktop. Pay attention to any apps using Flash, you may need to Disable any Anti-Virus. Be sure to use the Administrator Account and check Settings. Be sure to Reboot after running the Uninstaller and also after Installing.

  • How much space on my disk do I need to download English Adobe Photoshop Element 10?

    How much space on my disk do I need to download English Adobe Photoshop Element 10?

    Which operating system are you using?  The file sizes are different depending on your OS.  In general though if you got 10 to 15 gigabytes of disk space you should be more than fine.  If you are under 10 gigabytes it might be a good idea to do some spring cleaning on your computer to start freeing up some space.

  • Need Instructions for installing AE card in dual G5 tower

    I need instructions for installing a AE card in a dual 2 GHZ powermac G5. I understand I need to also install an external antenna. Since I do not have an antenna where is the best source for the antenna, apple or an outside vendor. My G5 is presently connected to a netgear router and I want to use the AE card to communicate with an airport express base station with airtunes connected to my stereo receiver. Would this create a conflict since my computer is connected to the netgear router. Any help would be appreciated.

    ]I understand I need to also install an external antenna. Since I do not have an antenna where is the best source for the antenna, apple or an outside vendor.
    You are going to need the t-shaped external aerial otherwise this is not going to work. Even though your PowerMac did not come with an Airport Extreme Card built in, it would have been supplied with the aerial.
    You will need to find a replacement.
    ]I want to use the AE card to communicate with an airport express base station with airtunes connected to my stereo receiver. Would this create a conflict since my computer is connected to the netgear router.
    I am presuming that your Netgear is not wireless.
    Can you connect the Airport Express to the router are do you want it in a different room?
    You will be able to be connected to the router and AX at the same time, but in order to avoid internet and network issues, you should ensure that built-in-ethernet is above Airport in the network configurations.
