Judith,
Not quite. Keywords are written to metadata when you write the tags, you do not write the categories or sub-catagories, which is what determines the hierarchy.
(Library>New Folder Ctrl Shft N) and browse to the Folder (eg. My Photos/Adobe/Digital Camera Photos). Accept default choices, unless you want to do some global changes. It will bring all photos in and the sub folders as well. If you have already done this without writing the tags, write the tags and import again. It should only grab the changed metadata.
If not, delete the folder from lightroom (This does not delete the files from disk.)and re import.

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

    Use the crop tool.
    On the tool's option bar, type 300 px & 200 px, and the desired resolution.

    my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

    Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files.  If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

    The display resolution allows a user to set according to pixels I think, eg 3200 x 1800. So which setting is considered normal? It does not have a "normal field.
    You are right.
    Before HiDpi displays became available three years ago, you could find advice about what was the good resolution for displays, depending on their size in in/cm and viewing distance.
    - For relatively big displays (22" to 30") a pixel resolution of 1920 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 was considered optimal.
    - For big laptops or small desktop, 1680 x 1050 or 1640 x 900 were good.
    In Windows, you could set the size of fonts to full resolution or 25% or 50% bigger... if the software supports this feature, which was not the case with Photoshop, Elements... The size of the fonts was deternined and fixed in the software itself, with no way to scale the fonts. The solution needed Microsoft to provide developpers with new programming interfaces and the solution for developpers was to rewrite a substantial part of the code.
    Anyway, to enable good viewing of characters on common 12 or 13" HiDpi displays, you need to use the fonts at 200%.
    And that makes sense. To see the same characters on a 12" display the same as on a 24", they must be twice the size... good rule of thumbs.

    Ok, since this forum is for Photoshop Standard and Photoshop Extended, we don't know much about Photoshop Elements. There is a Photoshop Elements forum and I'll link it for you since they best know how to field your questions.

    I have Photoshop Elements 10.  How do I upload all my photos and albums to Adobe Revel?

    Elements 10 does not have a direct interface with Revel. You can upload from your computer to revel via adoberevel.com, via the revel app if you use Win8 or Mac, or via an upgrade to Elements 11 or 12. (Elements 11 has upload/download ability, Elements 12 has mobile albums that stay in sync)

    If you have lost your serial number then the first thing you should do is to check your DVD if it is attached on the sleeve of the DVD.  Also, if you registered your product withy Adobe then your account should have a record of your serial number.
    If neither of this apply then you can browse the Amazon website and look for a bargain on PSE12.  PSE12 runs better on new computers and you also get updates for new cameras.
    It looks like you have to buy a new product because serial numbers are not something you can get free of charge here.
    Good luck.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

  • I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements.  Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

    I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements.  Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

    No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.
