Tags from Elements with full version

Since 2003, I used Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements then to place thousands of tags on nearly 15,000 digital photos. I bought Photoshop CS5 few months ago and I find no way to use my information without going through my catalogs Photoshop Elements. Does that mean that thousands of my information will be useless if, in addition to Photoshop, I do not buy Photoshop Elements? I'd be willing to update my Albums Elements but why buy when I have the full version?

Don't think so. They are two separate ecosystems. Feel free to inquire on the PSE forums how to export the data using XMP or by user-defined EXIF/ IPTC fileds in teh files themselves or whatever may be the most appropriate way of handling this.

Will Installing LTR5 from CC be compatible with full version LTR 5.7 on desktop ? will it over write any settings i have and what purpose will this serve?

will Installing LTR5 from CC be compatible with full version LTR 5.7 on desktop ? I bought the standalone LTR5 couple years ago .So will CC LTR5 overwrite any settings i have in This application ?And simply merge with what I have on desktop without too much trouble ? I have over 10,000 photos in Libraryin LTR5.7 Do I Leave LTR5 IN CC alone even tho I am paying for the Photgraphy package at 9.99?. whats the difference between the Lightrooms ? Thanks on clarifying !

There is only one version of the Lightroom program. The Lightroom standalone version, the student version, and the CC version are all the same program. The only difference is in how they are licensed. The standalone version that you are using is activated with a serial number. The CC installation is activated with your Adobe ID and Adobe password. I would suggest that you uninstall your standalone version. Then you will be able to install Lightroom from the creative cloud application manager. The application manager will keep track of updates for you as they are released. And when Lightroom 6 is released you will get it automatically, no additional charge, as part of your creative cloud subscription.
Uninstalling your current Lightroom will uninstall the program, but will leave the catalog and all user files as well as all of your images on the computer. Once you have installed Lightroom from the creative cloud manager you will be able to simply double-click on the desktop icon (which will look just like the old one) and start right where you left off. Everything will be intact, business as usual. I know this because I went through the process I have described when I joined the creative cloud. It happened just as I have described. There were no problems in switching.

Updating from trial to Full version, can't get rid of Trial Overlay on the Video.

Hey guys,
I just bought the Premier Elements 11 full version and installed it. I had made a video on the trial, and was hoping that when I opened that in the full version, the overlay that says "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements" that hangs out there for the whole video would disappear. Is that not the case?? Is there anything I can do to the file what will get rid of that...or do I simply have to re-make my video??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for the follow up information on what you observed trying to get rid of the Premiere Elements 10 tryout watermark in the project.prel from that 10 version in the purchased Premiere Elements 11. You say that the watermark was not removed automatically by the purchased Premiere Elements 11. I had never heard "automatic" to be the case until I tried this myself with Premiere Elements 11, not 10, tryout and then the purchased Premiere Elements 11. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the Premiere Elements 10 tryout to make a comparative test between
Premiere Elements 10 tryout
Premiere Elements 11 purchased
vs
Premiere Elements 11 tryout
Premiere Elements 11 purchased
But I have seen my observation verified independantly by at least one other.
But there are a lots of things here that SG and Adobe need to help us clarify.
a. Can you really remove the watermark from the Timeline once exported as a file (.mov, .avi, etc) from the tryout or is he and Adobe referring to removing the watermark on files still within the project.prel file.
b. Classically SG has said to go Timeline Menu/Deleted All Rendered Files as the route in the project.prel of a purchased version to get rid of the watermarked video still within the project.prel from the tryout. The Rendered files are .avi files for SD project and .mpeg for HD project. It is my understanding that there is a fundamental difference between "Rendered Files" and "Conformed Video" files, the latter typically having the file extension of .mcdb. So, when SG says
"You delete the Media Cache by going to the Preferences (under the Edit menu on a PC) and, on the Media page, clicking the Clean button.
That should get rid of all of your render files -- and the watermarked video along with them."
I would ask him to revisit that statement. If you are doing anything with that directive, you are deleting conformed video files that are found in Local Disk C\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Database Folder. That information is clearly available in the Media Cache Database dialog in that Common Folder. The "Rendered Files" are still alive and well with their companion .xmp files in the Adobe Folder (default Documents\Adobe\Premiere Elements). This is true for Premiere Elements 11 and 10 Windows 7 64 bit.
I do not see where the question that started this thread has really been answered. And the latest SG comment forces to ask for a clarification on that.
We will be watching for your results.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi

it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

How do I transfer all tags from Elements 8 to 11?

How do I transfer all tags from Elements 8 to 11? Only part of the tags transferred for elements 8 to 11. I'm using Windows 7.

It depends...
If you are still on the same computer and OS, the Organizer in PSE11 (or PSE12) will be able to convert the old catalog to its own format, while keeping the old catalog unchanged.
If you are changing computer, drive or OS, the best method is via a full backup and restore:

Converting PM from trial to full version

I had asked in another thread whether I could download and install the current tryout version of PM, and then use my old serial number from a PM 7 upgrade I had registered with Adobe back in 2002. I was under the impression this process would work for InDesign, or at least since ID required "activation," but PM dates to another era and my memory is not that good. No one answered, so I went ahead and installed the Tryout, and can now report that the Tryout version does not allow conversion to the full version by adding a valid serial number; in fact, the Tryout installs itself in a special Tryout folder, suggesting that it expects to be un-installed before the full version is installed.
I kept searching through old stuff and eventually turned up my original PM 7.0 CD -- an upgrade -- but not the carton it came in. I uninstalled the tryout, installed PM7.0, and found that because it was an upgrade I needed a valid serial number from an earlier PM. The only serial number on Adobe's cardboard sleeve for my PM6.5 Plus was for the bundled Photoshop, but having registered my purchase with Adobe I could still retrieve the number, a string of 15 digits. PM 7 upgrade rejected this, as well as the 15-digit serial number for PM5 (not to mention the PS serial number from my PM6.5 CD).
I had done a cautious un-install of the tryout: when the un-install process said there were elements that might possibly be shared with other programs, I let it preserve those lest I disrupt the CS2 software I still use occasionally. After my valid serial numbers were rejected, I threw caution to the wind and re-installed the tryout so I could zap it completely. Not surprisingly, the re-installed tryout found traces of its previous incarnation, reporting I had just 7 days remaining in my 30-day trial (I thought I'd started the day with 8). I un-installed again, this time telling it to take everything. I then tried installing my PM7 upgrade again, and this time it accepted the serial number from my PM5 carton: the same 15 digits preserved in Adobe's registration, but this time broken up by hyphens, NN-NNNN-NNNNNNNNN. I think I had tried the hyphen-less version first, and thus that the hyphens made the difference, though they key may have been the complete un-install.
A quick test of suggests IDCS2 is happy as ever on my XP machine. Perhaps I should add that I have carefully avoided upgrading the OS to XP SP3, dimly recalling that SP3 can complicate ID's ability to read PM files. For what its worth, I turned up the box for my Mac PM6 which shows the serial number as a single string of 14 alphanumerics, two of which are letters.

InDesign CS2 will not be able to open PM files on XP SP3, Vista, or Win 7.

Cant install Elements - or full version of photoshop

I have Photoshop elements installed on an old PC. However most of the time I'm abroad and only have access to a laptop. Recently I took some photo's that I wanted to fix up with photoshop elements. I didn't have the disc on me so I downloaded the trial version to my laptop and used it for 30 days. After the trial period ended I went to look for my elements disk but all I found was the licence codes.
Then I remembered I had a backup of my whole PC on an external hard disk. I plugged the hard disk into the laptop and ran the elements exe. All I got was an error - "Failed to initialize Vbox (0010-0069-0090)."
I decided that perhaps it was time I tried the full photoshop product anyway so I downloaded a trial version. When I try to install it, it unpacks 100% but then nothing else happens.
I want to get the original elements program to work - or else I want to be sure that the full version of photoshop will work on this laptop before I buy it.
The laptop itself is a decent bit of hardware - HP Compaq nc6400, 2GB Ram, Intel Centrino Duo with Windows XP Pro.

If you would try to restore installed files from backup, it might not work and probability of not working is very-2 high.
So first thing you need to check the entry in Control Panel>Add Remove Programs....
If PSE is there, uninstall it and then install from the trial version you have downloaded.

LR not importing tags from Elements 5.0

I'm trying to import a (rather large) Photoshop Elements 5 catalog into Lightroom--about 32000 images, mostly Canon raw files (some .RAW from a 10D, some .CR2 from a 20D). I'm finding that Lightroom isn't importing any of the PSE tags on any of the raw files. I tried using "File > Write Tags to Files" in PSE, but that only seemed to help with tags on JPGs, not on raw files.
The LR documentation says that tags created under the default categories in PSE (e.g. "People") would be imported, but not even those were being imported for the raw files.
(I did run a "File > Recover" on the PSE side before importing into LR; the first time I tried into LR it crashed after the import even though I had run a Recover, but the second time it was successful. It didn't get the RAW tags either time, though.)
Is there something else I should try to get this to work?
Thanks,
nj

Paige,
Thanks for the help. I would like to make it simple but my current PC has all images in the XP "my pictures" folder as the root which of course is on C: and has a long user path. Multiple folders under that.
I really want my images on a separate hard drive on the new PC which would be D. I guess I could setup the original path on C on the new PC (since it is Vista it would be totally made up), copy them there, then MOVE them to D via LR, etc. etc. However I was hoping to keep my system file dates as is so that would change them all.
Your PSE backup and restore is an option. Although quite frankly I have not had much luck with that backup option running through to completion with most versions of PSE that I have had.
I guess the comment about version sets and stacks appearing next to each other is true. Although sorting through 1,000's to re-marry them does not appeal to me. It looks like the "auto-stack by capture time" might do a nice job of stacking original images with their edits.
I thought of perhaps installing Lightroom on the old PC, importing the catalog. THEN taking the LR catalog to the new PC. Sticking the images where I want them, and THEN hopefully LR would do a "re-connect"?? I wish LR would try to do a re-connect during the import of the PSE catalog. That would make projects like this MUCH easier.

Lightroom: upgrade from trial to full version, how to enter license key?

I installed Lightroom from Creative Cloud (CC) trial on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit. The version is LR 5.6. I do not want CC, so I purchased the full version of LR on DVD. I was going to reinstall LR from the DVD, but see that it is only version 5.2. I have already done a fair amount of work with the trial LR 5.6 and am worried about losing the catalog that I have created.
So I thought I could apply the full version license key to the trial install, but there is no place to do that within LR. When I bring up the CC master application it shows that I have 5 days left with LR, but still has no way to apply a license key.
I had a very long and frustrating chat session with tech support. In the end I was advised to uninstall the trial, then install the full version. I might be able to download LR 5.6 full and simply install that.
So let me summarize my questions:
Is there any way to apply the license key for standalone full version of LR to the trial version that was installed using CC?
If I uninstall trial version, will I be able to install LR 5.6 download and apply license key?
If I cannot install from download and instead have to install from purchased DVD, will version 5.2 be able to import the existing catalog? Will subsequent upgrade(s) to 5.6 go smoothly?
What about the catalog? Will the existing catalog simply be found during a new installation? Or do I have to manually import?
I've found the community help in the LR forum to be very good - and that is why I am abandoning ACDSee after many years Thank you all for your help.

You should just uninstall what you have installed for LR 5.x, now, then download and install the LR 5.6 update from the Adobe Updates page, and enter your standalone serial number, and things should pick up where you left off.
You might want to go into LR’s preferences (if LR is still opening for you) and see where the catalog (.lrcat) file actually resides on your computer in case you have a problem and have to double-click on that .lrcat file to open your catalog, but my experience is that nothing will seem different after you’ve installed the new version other than the version number will be newer. The preferences, catalog, and pictures are somewhere different than where the program is installed so uninstalling and reinstalling shouldn’t affect any of it.
LR 5.6 update is here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
FYI, the CC-LR is licensed by logging into CC, the standalone version is licensed by entering a serial number. That is why you have to uninstall the CC_licensed version and install the non-CC-licensed version.
It also probably wouldn’t mess anything up to install LR 5.2 from the DVD, but then you’d have to turn around and immediately download the LR 5.6 update, anyway, and it would waste time, so why not start with the latest update. The update is a fully function program, not a patch to an existing program. It’ll either find your existing licensing information if you’ve already entered the serial number or ask for a serial number if it doesn’t find anything—which sounds like your situation.

From trial to full version?

Hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Adobe Acrobat XL Pro trial version has expired and I wanted to upgrade it. There was a "buy" button and from that point everything got very confusing. I can choose to buy a full version for 6371sek (unsure of whats included in this) or upgrade 2730sek (upgrade from what? trial? and what do I get?). What way do I go to get exactly what I experienced in the trial version, with form central included? Appreciate all help.

The Acrobat Pro XI (11) upgrade is a special price for people who own Acrobat Pro X (10) or Acrobat Pro 9. It will not install for anyone who does not already own the older software.
(I am not sure if Form Central requires a separate subscription -- see this page https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en_GB/landing/axifcpricing2.html)

How can you transfer tags from Elements 8 to 11?

I recently installed Elements 11 on a brand new computer. My old computer has Elements 8 and all the tags I want on the new machine. How can I transfer the tags from one machine to the other?

Also refer to the following guide
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/elements-organizer_reference.pdf and search for the Topic: Use (convert) a catalog of a previous version.
Thanks
Harshit yadav

I just purchased the upgrade from trial to full version. It does not work. It asks for my orginal serial key and when I paste in the trial key it says invalid??

Downloaded trial and then purchased the activate the full version option. The activation keys don't work. It wants an 'original' key. When I use the trial key it rejects it as invalid! Have I just been robbed of 75 quid?

lanceblack,
You know, I had seen your similar post in other forum with same issue. This itself is confusing for other participants including myself to keep track of forum discussion regarding same issue.
It would be nice if you keep your issue in proper forum in one place, less confusion for others.
Corky02 said better than I did yesterday. I am not quite sure why or what impresssion that you'd easily upgrade from try-out app into full-license. For many people are aware that what it means or what does this having to do with upgrading qualification with any applications. Why did you think you would get to upgrade that easily from trail try out app to licensed one?
I don't think the Apple's ads are misleading. I just think you got yourself confused. Sorry I can't help you. IF I am Apple employee, I would love to help you and get this resolved for you. I am just one of those participants helping others.
Once again, I am sorry that you get your view all wrong and lead into thinking that you are entitled to do so. But you need to understand that once if you had purchased a full license app from try-out app. Most people know what does that mean with try out app for the first time. And most people know that if they wish to purchase an application, this means purchasing a boxed (or electronic downloaded file) from Apple retail store (or online store). Plus, new venue at Apple offering Mac App store. I think that is a little confusion for some people who are not familiar with the difference.
I do believe that if you purchase from Mac App store, it doesn't require to put in license serial number. I think it is a different approach for some reason. I had bought some other Mac apps (not Aperture) from Mac App store few times. I haven't purchased Aperture updated version straight from Mac App store online. I bought mine from Apple retail store in Canada in person.
I still don't understand why you still think Apple is misleading you all the way. I don't think it is. In case if you haven't notice... there is way for you to get in touch with Apple called Apple Support Express Lane. Give it a try.

Moving from trial to full version - any precautions I should take?

My Aperture 3 trial is almost up and I've decided I'd like to purchase the full version from the Mac App Store. Because this involves deleting the application, and installing a newly downloaded copy from the store (instead of just entering a serial number to authorize the software), is there anything I need to do as a precaution beyond backing up my library to a vault?
Some notes about my set-up:
1. My images are referenced, and I have a vault of my library backed up to the same drive as my masters (which are also backed up to yet another external drive).
2. I have imported about 6,000 of my images so far and have performed a lot of keywording, organizing and rating, and have made a lot of adjustments.
3. My wife has her Facebook account set-up and a number of albums created which have comments from her friends, etc.
4. I am running OS X Lion 10.7.2 and Aperture 3.2
My biggest concern is accidentally overwriting or erasing information when installing a new copy of Aperture. Should I back up my preference files or anything like that? Or will the new version look to the preference file already created by the trial? Will my presets and ratings get wiped, or are they saved in the library? How about the Facebook data? Will it stick with my library, or will the full version need to be authorized again? I'd hate for her to lose all of the comments and such on the albums she's put together. Should I get her to de-authorize Aperture before reinstalling, or will this cause more problems?
Thanks in advance!
Doug

The one thing I can;t comment on is the Facebook aspect of this. Aside from that:
You seem to have it pretty well covered. In addition to the vault I would make a straight copy of the Aperture library. The trial you are running is 3.1.3 correct? In that case the first thing that will happen when you get 3.2 running is it will want to upgrade the library. The vault too will need to be upgraded. These go OK most times but if something did get messed up, you might have problems recovering from the vault.
You shouldn't need to worry about overwriting the library. You wiil be deleting the application from the Apllications folder. No need to do anything with the library. When you get the new version in and open it it will see the location of the library from your preferences file and open it. Should this not happen for some reason Aperture would make a new empty library but under no (normal) conditions would it overwrite a library. If this did happen for some reason you would just need to point Aperture to your original library.
Like I said I'm not really sure what will happen with Facebook. The whole Aperture web sharing thing is a bit of a kludge (imo).
So you should be fine with Aperture and your libraries, Facebook, well...
good luck.

Moving from trial to full version. Serial number not valid?

Trial version will not accept new serial number for authorization.
I bought the full version today from the Apple store (for $99 -- I guess I spent too much due to it being $79 on the App Store). Apple sent me the new serial number, but Aperture won't accept with the trial version serial number or the new serial number. What is going on?

While you're at it, you should see if they will just refund your money then you could go to the App Store and get it for $80.
If the above number doesn't work the web page Contact Apple might help.

Move from trial to full version of Aperture 3

I have been using the trial version of Aperture 3 for a week now, and I am really impressed with it. I would like to buy the App version from the App Store. What is the best way of doing this? Do I have to remove the trial version and then purchase and install the App version, or do I just purchase and install the App version and it will overwrite the trial version? I have read a few threads where someone went from the trial to the full version and because of the way then did it, it could not accept updates because it was still being seen as a trial version. I am still new to Apple and not comfortable with the way Macs handle software installation and removal. Any help will be appreciated.

We're in a kind of limbo with Aperture right now because of the transition to the Mac App Store. Logically that BUY link should take you to the MAS and let you buy from there without having anything else to do. But I don't know if they've changed it to do that — you'll have to try and see for yourself.
What may happen is that it'll work like it did before and you'll instead get taken to the Apple Store and be offered the $199 full version or $99 upgrade. Which is a little odd and — I have to agree with you — very un-Apple.
Basically there are two versions of Aperture 3 floating around: the $79 MAS version and the $199 Apple Store version. Both are identical in function but the $199 version still works with a serial number. You also get a DVD but frankly I haven't used an Aperture DVD since version 1.5 (I've been downloading the trial and purchasing a serial number upgrade since then).
Confusing? Yeah, it is.
But unless you want to pay more for the same thing, I'd go with the $79 MAS version. You might not even have to delete the trial but it's just a precaution in light of certain stories on this forum. Deleting the trial application won't affect anything you've done with Aperture 3 until now so don't worry, it's really not a big deal.
Best
