Preserving time when importing from Photoshop Elements

I have about 15K photos that I am moving from Photoshop Elements on Windows to Aperture. In Elements all my photos are in time order sequence plus the liberal use of tags. The tags work fine but the time sequence does not. Most photos have the date for when they were taken plus additional dates for when they were edited and/or when they were copied when I upgraded Windows/Photoshop. Some photos were from APS film that Walmart copied to CDs and I manually set the date. I have checked the metadata on a random set of photos and the date used by Photoshop on Windows is correct.
My question is "Can I get Aperture to use the same rules as Photoshop Elements so that when I view "Photos" in Aperture, they will be in the same order. I check the manual; nothing on this. iPhoto has the same problem but then it doesn't support the same level of metadata as Aperture. Specifically, I need Aperture to support "Date Time Original" field when it is available. Otherwise, I will have to stay with Photoshop Elements.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
PS Using the change date/time facility is not a realistic option since it would take days of labour for something that is already contained in the metadata

This is because, when you port your slideshow to Premiere Elements, it becomes video -- and video has a resolution of essentially 640x480 pixels at 72 ppi.
If you'd like to save your slideshow at full resolution, you'll need to use one of the other export options -- and you'll need to make it playable on a computer, which has a higher resolution than your TV.

  • Decreased picture resolution when importing from Photoshop Elements

    When I export pictures from Photoshop Elements 7.0 to Premier Elements 7.0 the resolution decreases significantly.  I tried to "bypass" Photoshop by importing the pictures from my hard drive but ended up with the same problem.
    Can anyone help me to locate a solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Wrong capture time when importing from iPhoto to FCPX

    I am experiencing a strange problem when importing from iPhoto to FCPX. If I open the info panel in iPhoto I see the real date/time when the picture was taken, but if I import them to an event in FCPX using the PHotos Browser and I check the info it shows the time when the image was imported to IPhoto and everything gets messed up.
    I have search for somebody with same problem but I have not found anything so far.
    MY workaround is to import directy onto the timeline, but it is... well, a workaround.
    Thanks in advance

    Why is knowing that important during the edit?
    Yes, FCP only shows the date imported" date metadata.  Future updates of FCP X I assume will add more metadata support, such as Creation Date and Modification Date, since metadata is vital to FCP X and there are some metadata handling features that are on the way. 

  • Wrong date when synchronizing from Photoshop elements 3.0/4.0

    When I synchronize my photos from photoshop elements (I have tried both version 3.0 and 4.0) the dates displayed above the thumbs in the different folders become February 2040.
    I have put my photos in different collections in PE which are recognized nicely within Itunes. I turned on the "enable disk use" and "include full-resolution photo" options. I can also see that the database structure built within the Ipod is correct (year->month->day) still the date displayed above the folders when scrolling through the thumbs is incorrect.
    I have been busy quite a while now, but I can't find the answer, anyone there who knows the solution?
    ipod   Other OS   ipod

    I am experiencing the same thing. Regardless of what photos I sync to my iPod 60GB, the date on top is always February 2040!

  • Importing from Photoshop Elements 6 back into iPhoto 11

    I don't want to whine about all the frustrations I've had trying to get used to iPhoto 11, but this one totally baffles and frustrates me and I would be glad for any help. I install all my pictures in iPhoto - I drag pictures to PS to edit, and I used to be able to drag from Elements back into iPhoto - the edited picture would be imported and voilà. Now I get a message telling me the picture is already in iPhoto, and it will not import it. I've change the photo name, and it still isn't happy. So far the only way I've been able to get around it is to save the picture into the documents folder and then reimport. I like the editing factor in Photoshop, I have (past tense) liked the simplicity and simple organization and editing of iPhoto... I hope to not have to move to Photoshop for everything. Help?! Thank you!!

    Maybe this will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full sizes
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.

    This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How do i maintain transparency of photos imported from Photoshop Elements?

    i prepared some sepia photos i found in a digital library in Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  the subjects are in the center and i removed the space around them, making it transparent.  however, after importing them into Premiere Elements I've lost the transparency.  I've  tried keying with some of the options, Chroma Key, Non Red Key, etc., but no matter what i do i can't attain the effect i want, which is to show the background color i selected.
    i learned Premiere in the early days when only one video line maintained transparency.  i changed my pictures to two different video lines thinking this would make a difference, but that didn't do anything.  i'm stocked, can't finish my project because of this.
    i also accessed Premiere Elements help, but the explanation they give is like a long commercial that doesn't go anywhere.  it tells of all the options available but it doesn't explain how you apply the options to your problem. i already own the product, i know it's good, that's why i bought it.  don't have to keep reselling it.   Uff!
    any ideas?
    thank you.

    Is you only interest in maintaining the transparency in the saved Photoshop Elements 10 Editor image created with transparency?
    Then the png and psd save from the Editor should serve your purposes. Are you also interested in how to maintain transparency in the Premiere Elements 10 export which includes the images with transparency?
    If so, please look at Share/Computer/QuickTime and, under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset selected, look especially to the settings of Video Codec = Animation and Depth = 32 bit.
    Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Will images be dupliated when imported from Photoshop into iphoto?

    I have a simple question really, I use photoshop CS3 to edit and catalogue all my photos but I use iphoto to store images that I upload to .mac gallery and other websites.
    What I need to know is, does iphoto duplicate my copy in photoshop when I import it into the app?. Or is there just one location where both apps access it??I don't really want two copies of an image if I can help it! Thanks.

    I suggest you use iPhoto to manage your photos with a "managed" library and use Photoshop as your editor from within iPhoto. That way you get the best of both worlds.
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.

    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Importing from Photoshop Elements 6

    Giving up on PSE and making the move to Lightroom. Over the past 8 years, built a database of more than 10,000 photos with stacks, version sets, tags, ... I have seen threads that say that tags will be preserved. Any idea if the stacks or version sets will stay. Will LR flatten everything out and import them as single files?
    Thanks in advance.

    Stacks are preserved (usually), and version sets are converted to stacks.  You might want to check out this FAQ about converting from PSE to LR:

  • Importing from PhotoShop Elements to iPhoto

    I moved a photo from iPhoto 8 to Adobe PhotoShop elements 6 to make some editing changes. I saved this edited copy as a JPEG item. Now iPhoto will not import this edited copy. The error dialog box states:Unreadable Files: 1. It further states: "The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized form.)" How can I import this edited copy into iPhoto?
    R.S.

    I moved a photo from iPhoto 8 to Adobe PhotoShop elements 6 to make some editing changes. I saved this edited copy as a JPEG item.
    Where did you save the edited photo?
    The proper way to use PSE with iPhoto is to set it as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences - then you edit in iPhoto and save (not save as) back to iPhoto
    Otherwise you must save to the desktop and then import to iPhoto

  • I can't get my art cards to center when importing from photoshop.  iMovie 6

    I've tried just about every size for the HD Widescreen.  I thought 1280x720 would get it.  It fits the window, but it is not centered and gets pushed right.  I need to use photoshop as I have a corporate logo and various sized type/colors on the same art card.  I have tried all the different types of HD settings and Widescreen is the only one that gets close.  I am using iMovie 6 as I like that interface better than the later ones.
    Thanks for any input

    I also prefer iMovie 6!
    Not sure about the centering, but the correct ratios are:
    PAL (for Europe):
    Standard DV (4:3) 768 x 576
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
    NTSC (for the USA):
    Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
    Mind you, I have never bothered with the aspect ratio. I regularly use photos in jpg format (200 dpi) in 6.4 aspect and they always centre.
    What format are your Art cards? If you save them as jpgs they should centre when imported in to iMovie from iPhoto.

  • Do you see problems with text size when importing from Photoshop?

    Hi all -
    We're working on improving some things in the Photoshop-to-Reflow workflow, and right
    now specifically investigating trouble with imported text.
    Aside from the desire to have support for local fonts, are there any problems you run into
    when importing text from Photoshop into Reflow? We've heard some issues with text size and position,
    but want to make sure we understand all of the cases.
    If you have problems in this area, please share them in this thread, and I'd also love to get some
    sample PSDs that demonstrate the problems. (You can send them directly to me; vmitnick at adobe dot com .)
    thanks,
    Vic

    I'm using CS4.. and I'm using the standard "Save As" .pdf features....
    and I'm reading it with adobe acrobat pro 9.1...
    i think it has something to do with compression. but i can't figure out how to solve it. converting the text to symbols maybe?

  • Lost folder when recovering from photoshop elements 5

    I was using the XP version of photoshop elements 5 when my PC crashed but I had a full (recent) backup on my external hard drive.
    My new ;laptop is running the 64 bit version of Windows 7 home premium .  I installed my XP version on the new laptop and it seemed to run OK. I but when I tried to recover my backed up catalogue it did not recover the files and lost the name of the folder which contained all the files. I still have the name of the folder but it no longer appears in the directory of my extenal drive. Non of the photos were deleted - at least they did not appear in the recycle bin.
    Is there any way I can recover the folder and tjhe files it contains ?.
    Also is there some incompatibilty between  64 bit Windows and the XP version of Elements ?
    .I had intended to upgrade my version of Photoshop after I had recovered my photos, but maybe I should have done this first. I have an earlier backup but would loose quite a lot of work if I have to use it, and in any case  I am reluctant to try it at the moment as I don't want to lose any more photos..
    I have never actually used back-up and restore and any advice would be welcome. 

    In the future (assuming your external drive is large enough) Select the folder that holds all your photos and copy it to the external. This way you have an exact copy elsewhere, then you can easily retrieve one or more images if needed.
    I personally have did this on a second internal, plus two externals. Once you loose images, especially ones you can't ever recreate like loved ones that passed away, you tend to get paranoid about not having a backup.
    As for your current situation, you can try a file recover app, using the windows commands for undeleting files, or pay a service to fix it. also keep in mind that the files do not have to go to the recycle bin to be deleted. If the drive has bad sectors, etc. those files may be permanently gone. What ever you do, do not run defrag, or save any files to that drive, until it is fixed or you finally give up. As writing to the drive will write over top of any deleted files first then use the empty region. Deleting does not mean it is gone, it just means the directory was changed to allow that area to be written over. So an undelete program just changes the directory so the file is accessible again.

  • Iphone 09 crashes every time when importing from an external hard drive

    Just bought a mac mini and I wanted to import my jpgs from my windows external disk (disconnected it from the pc temporarily.) However, I do not have enough hard drive on the mini to hold all of the pictures, so I moved the iphoto library (using the instructions obtained on this forum) to a second external drive (formatted as mac.) I'm trying to have iphoto import from the windows external hard drive and place the photos into the library located on the mac external hard drive. This shouldn't be a problem.
    However, iphoto will go fine for about 1000 photos then crash. It has done this the last 9 attempts. I also noticed that the photos that have been imported fine (I stopped the import to see how the software would work -- before it crashed out on me) and iphoto displays the photo, but when I click it, iphoto says the file cannot be found.
    Wow, this program has some serious flaws. I'm giving up on it, and hoping the Picassa port will work better.

    Did you want help or just to share the experience?

  • How to make Flash preserve color of layers with varying opacity when imported from Photoshop

    I have a set of layers in a Photoshop .psd with varied opacities; when I import the psd layers to Flash as Flash layers, the colors of the layers is wrong - the lower the opacity percentage in PS, the more "off" the color is in Flash.  Photoshop measures the color of each layer as an RGB value - I don't know why Flash can't preserve the RGB values as well?  Any ideas would be appreciated.
