Thanks for this suggestion. I tried, but pse 13 dienied the import, because pse 5.5 tly is not longer supported...
Any other possebility?
Yes.
It looks like the conversion of catalog versions from Elements 5 must be made when converting to 64 bits Windows versions:
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82741
So, you could download the catalog converter to create a valid PSE13 catalog.
Now, the problem I see ist that the current Lightroom version (5.6) is not yet able to convert PSE13 catalogs . I am confident that the next LR version will include that possibility.
I doubt you could download a trial version of PSE12, which would solve your problem, but maybe other forum members could suggest a solution?
Could you find someone with a running verstion of PSE12 who could convert your catalog.psa catalog to a PSE12 catalog folder?
Edit:
If you are in a hurry, and if you can follow the steps to get a correct PSE13 catalog with the trial version, you can 'write metadata to files' so that your picture files can be imported in Lightroom with their tags, ratings and notes. You won't recover stacks, collections or version sets though.

  • Backup and Restore from Photoshop Elements 8 to Photoshop Elements 12 Not Working

    I have a dual boot Windows XP SP3 32 bit/ Windows 7 SP 64 bit system with Photoshop Elements (PSE) 8 installed on the Win XP system and PSE 12 installed on the Win 7 system.  Both systems can see a shared drive.  I can create a catalog backup on the Win XP system using PSE 8.  When I attempt to restore the catalog on the Win 7 system using PSE 12 every file fails to restore.  I believe I have followed the process correctly.  Any suggestions?

    From the looks of it, Premiere Elements (any version) has nothing to do with this issue. Is that correct? The question seems to involve Photoshop Elements. Somehow your thread was posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) and not the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum which should have been the destination for your question.
    Photoshop Elements
    If you program is Photoshop Elements, please repost your thread there or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and then move your thread from here to there.
    PE is usually used to designate Premiere Elements, and PSE is usually used to designate Photoshop Elements. Using abbreviations can could confusion at times when PE and PSE are used interchangeably.
    Out of curiosity, is your set up Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit and the companion virtual Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit or is it as your wrote, the real thing "a dual boot Windows XP/ Windows 7 system". Photoshop Elements 8 and 12 are compatible on Windows 7 64 bit, why the Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows XP?

  • Need instructions for restoring a Photoshop Elements 3 backup with incrementals

    This seems like it should be in the documentation, but I can't find it.  The help docs only seem to explain restoring a full backup.
    I've done a full backup with PSE 3, and have also done a couple of incremental backups since.  I'm putting these all on an external USB hard drive, with each backup (full and incremental) in its own folder.
    If I had to restore the entire catalog in the future, should I start by restoring the full catalog, and then go back and restore each incremental backup on top of what I've already done?
    Or should I start at the last incremental and restore it first.  And if I did that, would PSE automatically restore all previous incremental backups from that point and the original full backup, or do I need to go back and restore all of those manually?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Catalog Restore crashes Photoshop Elements 4.0

    I appreciate that I have an old product (Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0), but it has worked perfectly for several years on an IBM R50e laptop running Windows XP SP3.
    I need to replace my old laptop and have installed the product on an Acer Aspire laptop running Windows. I selected the option to run it in compatibility mode and I have tested it carefully using my old catalog on an external drive.
    As far as I can tell everything works perfectly apart from one thing.
    I can backup the catalog succesfully, but when I try to restore the catalog (using the option from the file menu, Photoshop Elements crashes.
    This compromises completely my future use of the product, as I will not be able to rely on a backup to restore if I get problems.
    Is there any advice, solution or workaround that you can suggest?
    I am keen not to lose my 1000's of photographs!

    Hallo, can you speak or write in german? I can`t English very well.

  • How do I restore the Photoshop Elements 13 welcome screen?

    I recently opted to have Photoshop Elements launch in the Organizer. After doing so I realized that I prefer the default Welcome Screen. How do I restore the Welcome Screen?

    Hi,
    When the organizer has loaded, go to the Help menu and select Welcome Screen.
    That will display the Welcome screen where you can then change the settings (gear wheel) to what you want.

  • Photoshop Elements 5, trying to reconnect photos in Catalog, Vista

    I had to install a new fixed disk in my Vista PC and re-install all programme's. In this process it turned out that folder structure is now slightly different from the past. I had copied all photo's to new disk (note I use different folders). Subsequently, I re-installed Photoshop Elements 5 and copied my old catalog. Because of the slight differences in folder names, I need to reconnect all photo's in the catalog. Problem: in this reconnection process my Photoshop Elements program stops after a few reconnections (sometime already after 2 pictures, sometimes after say a bout 5 or 6). Photoshop shuts down and I need to restart. Anybody a suggestion? Thanks in advance Rob Tausk (The Netherlands)

    Having a nearly identical problem here. Just bought a new computer, which upgraded me from XP to Win 7, and at the same time I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 9. I restored my Photoshop Elements backup, but found a majority of my photos had become disconnected due to a change in the folder hierarchy from XP to Win 7. Many of my photos when I was using XP were in C:\documents and settings\..., but in Windows 7 there is no documents and settings folder under C:, and Windows won't even let me create a folder with that name so as to move the photos back into it. So now all my photos are in C:\Users\My Pictures\... and PSE can't seem to find them. I have to browse on each one to manually reconnect it. Very tedious and no way that is going to work for nearly 10,000 photos in my catalog. What's worse, the program freezes after I perform a half-dozen or so reconnects. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, and also the suggestion on the Adobe tech note (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400848.html) and neither seems to abate the freezing issue. I've also tried both restore options (restore to same location and restore to new location/preserve folder layout) and the folder hierarchy is still messed up either way. Any suggestions?

  • Photoshop elements 5 printing photos

    When printing in Adobe photoshop elements 5 with windows xp, SOME of the photos show horizontal blaack lines in various locations. If these lines appear in the print preview final screen, they print on the photo. I have spent 4 hours online with HP to determine it is NOT a printer problem.
    Some photos print well and others show the lines. ANy advice?

  • Restoring catalogs  to a new computer & version of Photoshop Elements

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 installed on my computer. The computer's operating system is 64 bit Windows 7.
    I have an unresolved problem with printing new JPEG images in Photoshop Elements 8. If I don't adjust the date in the image file before I print Photoshop Element crashs. I have no issues with Premiere Elements. I have no problem printing JPEG images which are opened from a RAW edit. No time adjustment is necessary in that case.
    This is not a question about the printing issue on which I've given up finding a fix. However, thanks to all who offered some ideas, though.
    I've tried everything, including seeking help on the Adobe forum, but without success. I've decided on a drastic measure. I'm going to delete Photoshop Elements 8 from my computer, but not Premiere Elements 8 and delete all the photo images from the computer too. I've everything backed up. I hope that should leave me with a computer that has no trace of Photoshop Elements 8 or my photos. Then I'm going to install Elements 10 and restore my catalogs from my backup. Hopefully that will leave the printing problem behind.
    Here is my question.
    When I restore my catalogs to Photoshop Elements 10 will that procedure restore not only my images but also my albums & tags etc that I had created in version 8?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Ken,
    Thank you very much for the reply. I'm relieved that the albums & tags are part of what I backed up so they'll be restored to Photoshop Elements 10.
    I've looked at the Adobe document to which you gave me the link. Thanks for that too.
    I have one final question that follows from the Adobe document that strictly relates to Premiere Elements 8 and not Photoshop Elements but I'll ask it in this forum  anyway. If no one is sure I'll pose it in the Premiere Elements forum.
    As part of the uninstalling of Photoshop Elements 8.0 the Adobe document refers to removing two folders. One is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0. The other is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organiser 8.0. If I remove the folder C:\Program files\Adobe\Elements Organiser 8.0 does that have any effect on Premiere Elements. I use Premiere Elements but I never use the Organiser with it?

  • I am trying to restore my catalog having previously done a back up to an external hard drive and subsequently an incremental backup. I am using Photoshop Elements 11 and the only option given in the restore procedure is to open a .tly file.

    I have done this but now the restore function is asking for yet another file, which i assume to be the original back up, but that is the only .tly file since the only other relevant file appears to be called catalog.buc but that is just not visible when using the restore function? How do I continue from here with this restoration of my catalog?

    Martin_Had a écrit:
    Thank you Andaleeb. I appear to have an old backup of a year ago, and a more recent full back up plus an incremental backup.
    Regrettably I don't really understand what is going on because firstly the restore does not complete its cycle so I cannot see what that backup file contains and secondly all I have read would suggest that the .tly file is the full backup and the catalog.buc file is the incremental backup. For the present, the catalog shows the photos for 2014 which makes me think I might have backed from the old back up file.
    I am minded to create another catalog and try again.
    Any views on what I can do?
    A backup (full or incremental) is a folder, not a file. It contains renamed pictures file copies as well a copies of the files and subfolders of the original catalog. The catalog.buc is a renamed copy of the database of your original catalog while the backup.tly. That backup.tly file contains the information to restore the renamed pictures where you decide, the original location or a new custom one. You can't do anything with the backup yourself, only the restore process can do the job if it finds the backup.tly file. In the case of an incremental backup, you have to tell the restore process where to find the incremental backup folder; it finds the backup.tly file in that folder and finds what is to restore there; then it asks you for the previous backup folder (in your case the full backup); you then browse to that full backup folder so that the restore process can find find the backup.tly there; the restore then deals with the rest of the files to restore.

  • Backup.tly in photoshop elements 10? what is it?

    What is the backup.tly file for in Photoshop Elements 10? I recently switched to a new computer and tried to resotre (what I thought were) my back up files for photoshop elements, but it did not restore correctly causing me a ton of work. I had been using "backup.tly" to "incremental" backup faithfully about every week for over one year, but when it came time to utilize my back up files (because I switched to a new computer) they wouldn't restore corrctly.

    Anatomy of a PSE backup:
    - It's a folder with the name of the catalog
    - It contains renamed copies of all of your picture files (to avoid problems with duplicates). They are named B000..... plus the original suffix : jpeg, tiff, mov, mp3, xmp... Those files are the backup of your media files -- the catalog itself is a database file : catalog.pse10db, which is copied and renamed catalog.buc in the backup folder.
    - It also contains the backup.tly file you have noticed : it's a file containing the cross reference between the real and full path original media file, and the renamed versions in the backup. PSE recognizes this file to undertake the restore process.
    What about incremental backups ? They are identical in structure, which means you must create a new folder for each backup, whether full or incremental. How does this work? Practically in the restore process, you point first to the last (most recent) incremental backup (which contains an up to date copy of your present catalog), then you have to follow the on screen instruction to point to each incremental backup folder so that the files are correctly restored.
    I suspect your problem is that your incremental backups were not done on a new folder each time.
    When you want to move computers, you have to use a full backup.

  • Can I restore a Windows Elements 10 backup to an iMac running Elements 10 or 11? and how?

    I have a 500GB backup of Elements 10 in one library.  I'd like to switch from my Windows 8 PC to one of the new iMacs.  Is there a process to do a restore on the Mac?  Thanks for any guidance or link.

    Install PSE on the mac, then restore your windows backup to the mac. (It must be a backup you made to a removable hard drive, incidentally.) Point the restore to the .tly file in the backup folder, not the whole folder.

  • How do incremental backups work in Photoshop Elements?

    I'm trying to figure out INCREMENTAL backups in Photoshop Elements.  I've performed an INITIAL backup on a Seagate Backup Plus external drive.  Now when I try to perform an INCREMENTAL backup to the same folder, I get this warning:  "! A backup already exists in that folder, do you want to overwrite it?"  When I say no, it won't let me save the INCREMENTAL back up in the same folder.  Is "yes" the correct answer?  If so, please explain how this works.  I want to make sure I don't lose anything in the initial backup. 

    Once you have a full backup you can make incremental backups in future which will be much quicker.
    Don’t use the same folder, make a new one. Once you have a full back up you can make incremental back ups but you need to follow a set routine. It’s not very intuitive.
    Start by creating a new folder or label a new CD/DVD Disk - it’s best to use dates e.g. “PSE12 incr backup 2014-June-04”
    Press Ctrl+B and check Incremental, then click Next
    Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
    Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder “PSE12 inc backup 2014-June-04”
    Click Done.
    If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc
    If you ever have to do a complete restore you start with the TLY file from the latest incremental backup. The program automatically recognizes the number of incremental steps and you will be prompted to insert a disc or navigate to the appropriate drive/folder.
    Incremental backup’s are obviously much quicker to write to disk but I recommend that you periodically perform another full backup and delete any earlier backups.

    First of all, use PSE9 on your old computer to make a full backup of your catalog and image files.  Put this backup in a safe location, such as an external HDD, and don't mess with it.  If something goes wrong, you'll need to restore your catalog from this backup to get back to where you started from.  Let's call this backup "PSE9 Backup Golden".
    Now the question becomes "Can PSE10 restore from a version 9 backup?".  I don't know, so you have 3 options:
    1.  The "I feel lucky" option.
    Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD.  (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
    Install PSE10 on your new computer.
    Use the PSE10 Organizer to restore that "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer, answering "Yes" to any prompt about converting the catalog to the new version.
    2.
    Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD. (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
    Install PSE9 on your new computer.
    Install PSE10 on you new computer.
    Use PSE9 on your new computer to restore "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer.
    Open the restored PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
    3.
    Install PSE10 on your old computer.
    Open the PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
    Use PSE10 to backup the converted catalog to an external HDD.
    Install PSE10 on your new computer.
    Use PSE10 on your new computer to restore that converted catalog to your new computer.

    I have tested the first solution without any problem with different PSE6 catalogs, one of which with 32 000 pictures.

  • 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!

  • Photoshop Elements Catalog 10 Restore

    I created a backup of my old catalog on an external drive, "G:" to my old computer.
    My new computer lists the drive as "F:".  I did a Restore, and told Catalog to put it in a new location.
    After the Restore, I see no images.  File names are there, and tags, and my thumbnails for the tags are in the pane on the right, but I see no images for my photos.  When I click on Properties, Catalog is still pointing to the "G:" drive, and says the dirve is not present.  No duh!  I told Catalog to put it elsewhere.
    How do I get my images connected, so I can see them, and use Catalog as it is supposed to be used?
    Thanks

    Michael,
    Thanks for the response. I have spent hours trying to get this to work.
    I had Photoshop Elements/Premier, with no version number on the box.  I
    got it about 6 years ago.  It was installed on a Windows XP machine,
    which recently started having problems. I had an externaI drive (which
    that computer knew as "G:\", which had all of my files (including the
    photo files folder structure) on it.  I did a Backup of Elements, to the
    external drive before my old computer had to be replaced.
    I got a new machine, a Windows 7 box.  I also purchased Photoshop
    Elements/Premier v 10, and installed that on my new machine.  Since my
    new machine has a much-larger drive than the old machine, I copied my
    entire file-structure of my photos onto the C: drive of my new machine. 
    I have all of my files there, in the same structure as my old external
    drive (I had all of my files there).
    I connected the external drive to my new machine, and it calls it
    "F:\".  I launched my new installation of Catalog (v10), and told it to
    do a Restore, to a new location. I did the Restore.  I took about 15
    minutes to copy the image files, then said it was "converting", and took
    another period of time.  It completed.
    I could see my Tags structure, which I had added new tags and groups to
    in the old Catalog.  All of that shows, and the thumbnails for the tags
    display.  Seems fine, in that panel.
    All of my image thumbnails in the Catalog itself, though, are blank. 
    There is a red circle with a vertical line through it (looks like an
    electrical "Off" sign) in the upper-left corner of the window; a blue
    Help icon, and a "picture" with the lower-right corner turned-up. 
    Nothing gives me a response when I click on it, even the "Help" icon.
    I can see all of the files on my C: drive, just as I would expect.  I
    don't want to have the files reside on F:.  I want them to reside on my
    C: drive.  I don't want Catalog to look to the "G:\" drive as it does
    now, so I don't want to re-name my "F:\" drive to "G:\".  I want Catalog
    to look for the files on my C: drive, so I can backup my entire Files
    folder structure to the external drive, which would overwrite anything
    already on the external drive.
    I also checked the serial number of the drives, and they are all very
    different.
    How do I re-direct the path to look at "C", instead of "G"?
    Thanks,
    Duane
