Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.6

Does any one know if it is possible to import star ratings from Photoshop Elements Organizer into Lightroom? I did some rating of images in Photoshop Elements Organizer then imported the images into my Lightroom 5.6 catalog. Unfortunately, the star rating didn't import. The keywords imported. I don't understand why the keywords imported but the star ratings didn't. Do I need to import the Organizer catalog into Lightroom to get the star ratings?

Usually that means that lightroom sent over the photo in 16 bits/channel and you want 8 bits/channel in order to use layers in photoshop elements.
After you open the image from lightroom into photoshop elements you can go Image>Mode and click on 8 bits/channel
or in the Lightroom Preferences (Edit)>External Editing set the Bit Depth to 8 bits/component

  • Does Photoshop Elements 10 and Lightroom 5 share common "Catalog"?

    Does Photoshop Elements 10 and Lightroom 5 share common "Catalog"?

    To put it simply - no but Lightroom can import from the Elements Organizer.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4 support conversation of RAW files from a Nikon D800?

    I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 9 and must convert RAW files from my Nikon D800 to .dng files before processing using a added converted.  I'm considering upgrading to either Elements 11 or Lightroom 4 but want to know if either of these programs will support the nikon D800 RAW files without having to go through this extra cumbersome step.   Additionally, if I do go with Lightroom 4, will the transition be easy or difficult and what problems might I encounter?

      Yes the D800 is fully supported in both applications.
    You would certainly benefit in processing your 36mp raw files using Lightroom if you have a 64bit PC or Mac with additional memory (RAM). The Lightroom develop module is where you do all the editing and you get the benefit of the full CS6 raw engine in an intuitive interface.
    If you regularly use the Elements Organizer you should understand Lightroom quite easily.
    Why not download the free trial of LR4 and test for 30 days.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom transfer/sharing problem

    I'm new to Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12.   I open a Lightroom image in Photoshop Elements 12 by using Photo-->Edit In--> PSE12.  I make a change in PSE12, and then "save."  I understand that I'm supposed to overwrite the default file name.  But, when I go back to LR, my PSE changes are not saved.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have LR 5 and PSE 12 and the interaction works fine for me. When I select the Edit in PSE option in LR, a TIFF file is created in LR, which is then being opened in PSE. Once done with editing in PSE, I choose Save, which brings me the overwrite file dialog and the TIFF file save settings dialog (compression, etc.) afterwards. Once saved, the TIFF is visible in LR with the changes.
    Here's a question - when you open the TIFF file you just saved from PSE in PSE again, do you see the changes ? If not, the problem is in PSE not saving the changes correctly.
    If you do, the problem is with the file not being shown properly in LR. Check the file structure in an external tool (Windows explorer or Finder). Do you see the TIFF file ? Is there only one or perhaps some others with the beginning of the file name ? What is the file save date on the TIFF(s) ? That might give a clue as to what can be wrong with the process.

  • Moving photoshop elements 12 and lightroom 5 from windows machine to a Mac Pro

    Is it possible to transfer licence from the windows machine to the mac?
    The Lightroom version does appear to be a windows/mac version but the serial number won't activate the product.
    The Photoshop Elements was actually a windows version so perhaps that is more excusable.
    But is one really expected to either buy this software again or just forget about them all together?

    For Lightroom and Elements your license covers both Mac and Windows.  You do need to install the appropriate version in each case however.  I Windows version will not work on a Mac, and vice versa.
    If you continue to have a problem you should contact Adobe support thru chat... Start Here  If after selecting relevant responses you are unable to find a solution, choose "Still need help? Contact us." and the chat contact option.

  • How do I install photoshop elements 10 and lightroom 3 on a mac when I previously had it on a windows?

    Is there a way to do this? This is my first time using a mac so I'm a little lost.

    You'll need the serial numbers for both software titles. No-one here can help you with those.

  • MacBook Pro Retina (2013) and Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

    I have moved to a new MacBook Pro Retina (2013) from my old Windows 7 PC. As an amateur photographer which is better - Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

    Lightroom is already optimized for the retina display and PSE12 looks superb on the Macbook pro R. You are never going to get a retina display much larger than 15 inches but once tried you would never wish to go back to other monitors. It’s not just photos; all Apple apps on the MBPr including web browsing are optimized.
    Large monitors can be great if you are soft proofing images for print enlargements or for editing and rendering video where the extra real estate is useful. So it comes down to need. In general, images appear sharper on smaller displays.  I upload most of my photos to my own website and Google Analytics tells me that a high proportion of my visitors are increasingly viewing on iPads, tablets and smartphones. For me that makes the MBPr ideal for my photo editing. It has far superior clarity compared with the excellent 27 inch Dell Ultra Sharp monitor on my desktop machine.
    The only caveat is that nobody really knows the life of flash storage. Some say four years when writing continuously to the SSD drive and less once you start moving from unused space to overwriting. For that reason I always try to write to an external hard drive or SDXC card; reserving the SSD, as far as possible for running the applications.
    I think we are getting a bit off-topic as the OP already has the MBPr and only needs to decide between PSE & LR or both.

  • Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?

    Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?  Any issue installing these products on a new PC when I already have it installed on another PC?  I am getting a new PC to replace XP machine I already have.

    Yes, Photoshop runs on all editions of Windows 7 as far as I know.
    And the Photoshop EULA does give you the option to install and activate the software on a second machine.  Once you no longer need the XP system, assuming it's still functional, just deactivate the Adobe software on it and you'll be able to have the same flexibility again in the future.
    If ever you have a licensing agreement question, all the EULAs are online here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
    A side note:  Windows Home Premium may do all you need for now, but keep in mind there is a Windows Anytime Upgrade you can buy in the future that will allow you to move up to a higher edition of Windows 7 later if you should feel you need more features.
    This page has some information on that, and also describes the edition differences pretty thoroughly.  I especially like the nice table they've built:

  • Photoshop Elements 13 and RAW files from Canon 7DMII?

    I just received a Canon 7D Mark II and need some editing software that can handle it's RAW images.  I currently use Photoshop Elements 11 and really like it but the version of Camera RAW in that software cannot take the 7DMII files even though I did the Camera RAW upgrade that was available.  If I have to get more software, I would prefer to get Photoshop Elements 13 over Lightroom.  Can anybody tell me if Elements 13 has the version of Camera RAW that can accept those files?  Thanks in advance.

    Thank you.  Right now I have Elements 11 and wanted to make sure if I purchased 13 it would work and I guess it does
    You can always download the trial version before paying for it.  Use it for 30 days and then buy the boxed version to activate your trial product.  You only need to insert the serial number to activate the trial version if you decide to buy the boxed version.

  • I have Elements 11 (and Lightroom). I just bot a SONY   RX100-II camera.

    I tried to load the photos shot in RAW, but nada. I need to know how to get the program I need so that I can use Elements 11 and Lightroom with this camera, shooitng in RAW. Am leaving for Cuba in 5 days.
    [email protected]

    If you update to the latest lightroom 5.2, that should open the Sony RX100-II files.
    Unfortunatly pse11 can only use up to camera raw 7.4 and your files require camera raw 8.2
    Photoshop elements 12 is able to update to camera raw 8.2 though.

  • Just purchased Photoshop Elements 13, and did not get the Mac version.  How do I switch?

    I purchased Photoshop Elements 13, and it was unclear that it was a Wndows program,  When I purchased Lightroom it was for both formats, so I did not look too closely, but no Maac OSX option seems available.  How do I get the OSX version, or get a refund?

    I am tired of getting absolutely no where in the web site! I want my money

  • Re - instating Photoshop Elements 7 and Premier Elements 7

    I have had to replace my hard drive and have lost  Photoshop Elements 7 and Premier Elements 7 how can I re instate them. I have contacted Adobe Technical Support but they said that they can only help with the latest version and I should ask on the Forum. Can anybody help the products are registered with Adobe?

    You can download v7 from the links in the comments at http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml/comment-page-1. You must follow the download instructions EXACTLY (for some strange reason many people think it is OK to ignore instructions 0, 1 & 2) or you will get access / authorisation errors.

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

  • I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

    I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert?  What's the best way to migrate?  (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

    Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
    Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
    If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.
