Plugins when upgrading to elements 13

I have upgraded from Elements 11 to Elements 13. In Elements 11 I regularly used the Nik collection and Topaz Adjust plugins. They have not been installed in the Elements 13. How to I get Elements 13 to recognize these plug ins?

I assume you're using Windows 7. If so, I can't help you with the NIK plug-ins, but with the Topaz plug-ins, do this: Computer/OS/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13/Plug-Ins/Topaz. To translate: go to the desktop, open Computer, then open your computer's built-in hard drive, usually labeled OS, open the folder Program Files, open the Adobe folder, open Photoshop Elements 13 folder, open Plug-Ins folder. It is in the Plug-Ins folder that you want to put your Topaz plug-ins. I simply copied mine from PSE 12's Plug-Ins folder and pasted them in PSE 13's Plug-Ins folder. As for the NIK plug ins, you may be able to do the same thing with them as with the Topaz plug-ins. However, you may not be able to. In my case, I also use on-One software's plug ins and it is a little harder to get them to work. In this case, I have to re-download them from on-One's site and let the installer do its thing, which, of course, means you have to re-enter your license numbers.

Lost my plugins when upgrading to Photoshop CC ):

Are there any work-arounds to using my Photoshop CS 6 plugins in PS CC? I lost Perfect Resize, Perfect Photo Suite, Nik Color Effects Pro, Lucis Art Pro ( CS 5 only), Topaz Labs Suite when I upgraded to Photoshop CC. If there are no such work-arounds maybe CC is not such a good deal.

You didn't lose anything.
Photoshop CC is an entirely separate product from its predecessor, and is installed in a different set of folders. In fact, unless you uninstalled the old version it's still there and can still be run.
Reinstall your plug-ins after finding out whether there are updated versions specifically for CC. Failing that, you can try copying individual plug-in files into the Photoshop CC plug-ins subfolder (but DO NOT copy all the files from the old version). Some plug-ins require additional files beyond just the .8bf, .8bi, etc. files. But you know what each requires - you got it in the first place. Photoshop CC is no different, really - just in a different place.
Did you have any Extra Plug-ins Folder defined in Photoshop CS6? That's no longer available but there is a workaround.

What happen to plugins when upgrade from CS3 to CS4?

This question may have been asked before but I could not find in the forum.
I have a few plugins installed in my CS3 now. Do I need to manually reinstall all of them when I upgrade to CS4?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm assuming you are asking about 3rd party plug-ins.
Most likely you will need to reinstall for each version; But it depends on how you installed it. You may also need to check with the 3rd party about license and activation.
You can opt to install into the Ps plug-in folder for any given version, or install to a location outside of Ps and then point to that directory in the Ps preferences (see Preferences> Plug-Ins> Additional Plug-Ins Folder).
If you went the former route then reinstall to CS4. If you went the later, check the preference option and point to the folder.
BTW, don't just move the whole CS3 Plug-Ins directory over to CS4 because the set shipped with Ps get rebuilt and you will put copies from CS3 that are not compatible with CS4 into that directory.

Keeping plugins when upgrading from CS6 to CC

I just went from Snow Leopard to Mavericks on my mac pro and so I am also upgrading from Premiere Pro CS6 to CC. I'm curious if there is an easy way to make sure all of my plugins come along for the ride. Or, do I just need to check all my plugins, write a list of what I have and then after I install CC, install everything from my plugin list?
thanks,
Mike

Some plugins have new installers for CC.
Some you can just copy from CS6 to CC.

Photos lost when upgrading to elements 13

After downloading elements 13 my photos from elements 11 did not transfer in. I even lost the photos in elements 11

Photoshop Elements

Lost tags, etc. when upgraded from Elements 2 to 6, and XP to Vista on new computer.

I was using Photoshop Album 2 on old XP computer. About a year ago, I got new computer with Vista and I installed Photoshop Elements 6 on it. I had copied files from old computer onto a flash drive, then from the flash drive to the new computer. The pictures came over fine, but I lost all of the tagging. Any way to get that back?

You need to find the PSA2 catalog file, and copy that as well. I believe the default name of the file is My Catalog.psa, but I don't know where it would have been stored. You could search your hard disk for *.psa (turning on the feature to search in hidden fodlers). Then, you will have to convert the catalog to PSE6 (File->Catalog->Convert).
Or, in PSA2, File->Backup Catalog and then in PSE6 File->Restore Catalog

Download 4.2 Revel blah blah message? You mean the dialog that asks you to upgrade to 4.2? I'm not sure why it's dinging - probably another open dialog - but the easy fix would just be to update to 4.2 from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5488

I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo Edit In Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?

You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements.

How do I upgrade to Elements 10 when there is no older version of Elements?

Hi.
I have Elements 9.0 (downloaded from the web) on my old computer, which partly crashed. I wish to upgrade to Elements 10.0 on my new computer. How can I do that if there is no version of PhotoShop on my new computer?
Regards.
Vidar.

Hi Vidar, Upgrading to the latest version of Elements doesn't need the old version to be installed on the machine.
You should have the serial number for PSE 9 handy and at the time of installing PSE 10 , installer will prompt to enter PSE 10 serial key and then to enter PSE 9 serial key.

XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded to CC

For several versions of Photoshop, I have been able to use a modified custom file info panel to input, update, and track psd files. With each version of photoshop there are always some changes in the way the object data is handled. The lastest challenge is:
1. XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded CC from CS6.
2. Raw data is not visible in CC in the File info panel.
3. This occurs in new documents where we create the xmp wrapper while the file template is built.
4. When metadata is manually entered into the file, the data is not added to the XMP wrapper when it is recreated on the save.
5. When a file that was created in CS6 is opened that contains the Metadata in the file info template. It is visible. the Raw data is also visible. Once the XMP wrapper is recreated - write and then close. The data is no longer available. the Raw data will not pull up in the file info panel.
Any feedback or a direction will be appreciated.

I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
is no longer the node that can be appended.
Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
<rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

Word graphics changes postion when upgrading from 2007 to 2013

Hello,
We have a large number of letters created in word 2007, with a first page header containing a logo. It is positioned on the page by giving xx cm absolute position relative/vertical to the page.
When opening these documents in word 2013 the logo is still correctly positioned.
However: When saving, (and Word asks to upgrade to latest format) - the logo moves a god 10 cm to the right and a bit down...Word is automatically checking the "layout in table cell" when upgrading to 2013 - and the option is
greyed out and not possible to uncheck. (right click graphics, size and pos., size)
Checking the positioning it still says correctly xx cm absolute to page, but the position is terribly wrong...
Any tips greatly appreciated
regards,
Jon Gunnar Pettersen

What was the format(extension) of the files created in Word 2007? What it was then after saving in 2013?
Many elements may get lost if you saved the file with a different extension, you can verify this by saving these files on a different computer, as long as you have a backup of these files.
So my opinion is to keep the format and don't upgrade.

Will my catalog safely Upgrade from Elements 5 to Elements 8?

I have over 16,000 photos tagged in my Elements 5 catalog. I am hesitant to upgrade to 8 for fear of not being able to reconnect to the catalog. Any assurances or tips? Chet
Message title was edited by: Brett N

As long as there is nothing currently wrong with your catalog and nothing interferes with the conversion process, you should have a save catalog conversion.
Besides, when the conversion takes place, a copy of your catalog is created. So even if the conversion fails for some reason, you'll still have your original catalog working in PSE5.

What do you mean by "not compatible"? What happens, exactly, when you try to print?
