Photoshop Elements 13 Restoring Catalog / Files Not Able To Be Restored

I backed up my catalog from an older Photoshop version using the backup to hard drive option. Then I restored my catalog to Photoshop Elements 13 on a new computer, but had files not able to be restored. Does this means they are in my catalog but missing links to the actual files or not in the catalog at all? & is there something I can do differently to try the restore again without this happening? Thanks!

Hi,
See if this helps.

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?

Very important : your catalog does not contain your pictures. They are where you have imported them in your computer. If they are all under a master folder like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', you should set your backup software to backup those folders.
The catalog itself is mainly a database keeping all the information about your pictures : location, keywords, ratings, albums...
It's a folder containing the dababase and several other components. You find its location looking in the help section, system info.
The integrated backup / restore process in Elements saves both your media files and the catalog.

Photoshop Elements 5.0 are not able to open Catalog.psa

I have used Photoshop Elements for a while now, and have 13657 picture registered here. But for a few days ago, Photoshop Elemets freeze during startup. I tried to install Photoshop Elements 7.0 (trial version) and got a fault message when this tried to convert catalog.
I do have backup, but there is more that 1000 pictures that are not catagorised in this, so a repair would be the best.
Anyboydy have some tips for me?

Press the shift key or the ctrl key as you start the organizer - I think the shift key, but if that doesn't work, try the ctrl key. It will either automatically try to recover the catalog, or it will ask you if you want to.

Photoshop Elements 13 Install file not on disk

I purchased Photoshop Elements 13 & Premiere Elements 13 (boxed set) from a reseller. Premiere Elements installed with its serial number without a problem, but Photoshop Elements does not seem to have the installer file on the disk. Is there any way to contact Adobe directly?

THANKS
I knew it would be something simple...

Find Photoshop Elements 5 Catalog file

My computer crashed and was reformated and I had to re-install PE5 online and now i don't know how to import
my catalog back in. I am running Windows XP Professional.
Can someone tell me how to do this.
thanks

I was looking for catalog files and the ones i found were in c:programs/adobe/photoshopelements5/shared_assets/database/odbc
There is My Catalog.psa and My Catalog-undo.psa, which were created in 2006 and modified in 2010, which is when i ren-installed elements.
I am not sure if this is what i should be looking for or not as i tried to open them in elements in file and then catalog and then open and nothing happens.

Adobe Photoshop elements - the catalog will not open on the new laptop I just bought.

I installed the Adobe software for Elements 5.0. The catalog won't open. The new laptop uses Windows 7. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I rectify the problem?

Hi,
Actually, I did eventually get it to open. However, the photos are no longer tagged. I recovered the photos from my external hard drive, which is where I always stored them.
So you are saying that I would need to actually to a BACKUP from ELEMENTS itself? If I do that, the tags will still be attached to the photos? I have over 6000 photos. I do not want to have to reorganize and re tag them again.
Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 will not read in Canon 70D raw files. All updates have been made.

Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 will not read in Canon 70D raw files. All updates have been made.

The Canon EOS 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 (the plugin used by Photoshop Elements to read Raw files)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Camera Raw 8.2 is only compatible with Elements 12 and later. It is not compatible with Elements 11 or earlier.

Your choices:
Upgrade to Elements 12 to open 70D Raw files in Elements
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 70D Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNG files in Elements 9

Photoshop Elements 11 catalog conversion solution

The Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer failed to convert my Photoshop Elements 6 catalog until I ran the PSE11 Organizer under the built-in Windows 7 Administrator account. I did not find this solution mentioned during my efforts to solve this installation problem. It was not a suggestion I found in Adobe's help files dealing with catalog conversion. So here is a summary for others with this problem.
I installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my Dell XPS 9000 running Windows 7 Pro x64. I retained my PSE6 installation. I have nearly 20,000 cataloged images in my PSE6 catalog.
Problems began when the PSE11 Organizer failed to convert my PSE6 catalog to the new PSE11 format. The process seemed to run to completion, but then an error message said the conversion had failed. The suggestion was to repair and optimize the PSE6 catalog using PSE6, then try converting again. Conversion to PSE11 still failed. I spent a few hours searching for suggestions and solutions and tried each of them without success.
I then found one suggestion that the problem might involve permissions. The suggestion was to right click PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe in its installation folder (which on my computer is at at D:\Photo\Elements 11 Organizer) and run Organizer as an administrator. This also failed. However it did get me thinking about permissions.
Even though my personal account on my computer is an administrator account, I logged off my personal account and logged on to my computer's built-in Administrator account that comes with Windows 7. I don't think I've used that account for any other purpose since I set up this computer 3 years ago.
I then ran the PSE11 Elements Organizer using the Administrator account and the catalog conversion ran to completion and all seemed correct.
However, when I went to the folder where I kept my PSE6 catalog (G:\0-PSElementsCatalog\FamilyPhotos-6), the new PSE11 catalog was not there. Instead, PSE11 had put the converted catalog in the (absolutely awful) default location at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\FamilyPhotos-6). Using the PSE11 Organizer, I renamed the catalog to G:\0-PSElementsCatalog\FamilyPhotos-11(ConvertedFrom6). I then used PSE11 Organizer to move the converted catalog to my preferred location on my G: drive.
All is now well.
Why did I have to use the built-in Administrator account to do the catalog conversion? What permissions does it have that my personal account (also an Administrator) does not have? Some years ago I encountered a similar problem that involved permissions on a registry key, not permissions on files or folders. Perhaps someone at Adobe can enlighten us.

One thing puzzles me:

I don't understand why running the exe from the installation folder would have worked.
I would have simply tried to run that exe from its real location :
Sorry, I can't help you more about permissions...

Photoshop Elements 13 trial can not use digimarc filter

Just downloaded the PE 13 trial version, I am unable to setup/apply the digimarc filter on images (I have a current digimarc account) I am only able to "read" digimarc.

I am using windows 8. Also, I own a previous version of Photoshop Elements and have always been able to successfully use the digimarc filter to embed the digimarc into my images. With a new laptop, and newer operating system then my older desktop pc, I thought I would go with the newer version of Photoshop Elements but wanted to try before buying it first to make sure it would do what I needed. My Digimarc subscription IS current. The Digimarc site has plug-in's for all previous versions of Photoshop Elements, but NOT for 13. I even tried downloading the PE12 plugin from the digimarc site, but can not complete the installation because the file directory seems to be different (Digimarc instructions say to extract the file to: Computer > C: > Program Files (x86) > Adobe Photoshop Elements XX > Plug-Ins > The problem lies in that I can not find "Adobe Photoshop Elements.." under Program Files.)
This is why I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements instead of just blindly buying the latest version - I'm not going to waste my money on something that wont work for my needs! I do NOT need full version of Photoshop, just Elements... All I use this for is to crop, re-size, insert a watermark, and to insert digimarc and that's pretty much it.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Try this:
Open your picture file
Access the clone stamp tool
Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
TIPS:
It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
Let us know how you make out with the error message now.

Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.

Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

Yes, if you have PSE 11 (not the mac app store version). You will need to go to Help>Updates in the editor to update ACR to 7.3.
