Transferring catalogues from Photoshop Elements 5 to Photoshop Elements 9

The process should be an easy one -- BUT, my new copy of Elements 9 does not list under the FILE column, anything that looks like or works like "Catalogue".
Instead of the listing as per the Adobe tutorial as follows: FILE (then) Get Photos & Videos, (or) New, (or) Open recently edited in Editor, (or) Catalogue
My new software lists the following: FILE (then) New, (or) Open, (or) Open As, (or) Open recently Edited File, (or) Duplicate. 
[No sign of Catalogue to be found anywhere -- hence impossible to transfer files/catalogues.]
Note: I use elements for its catalogue function with Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5.  New camera required updated RAW-read ability from the old Elements 5.

Thank you Michael.
So strange -- Elements 5 Catalogue was so clear, so obvious.  Elements 9
appears to revel in its obscureness.  Actually, at the time I wrote of my
confusion I was in the Organizer all along.  BUT, I've yet to find a way of
showing a horizontal task bar, as in Elements 5.  There is a (too) clever
virtually hidden chevron in dark gray about 1/4 distance from the top left,
which when clicked on provides a drop down menu with all required options
-- instead of the always obvious horizontal task bar.  What could they
possibly have been thinking?
Anyway, as I said in my initial plea for help, my only reason for doing all
this was to be able to collect Canon RAW  images from the 5DII -- into the
elements catalogues.  That in fact does work now.  However, no doubt I'll
be deferring to Adobe Bridge CS5 much more for storage and retrieval.
Elements 9 has little to recommend it for me.  What do the great unwashed
say about "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"
Thank you again -- very, very much Mike.
All the best,
Seymour Remen

  • Transferring pictures from windows gallery to photoshop cs 5 how's it done

    How do you do it?

    Windows Gallery works just like windows Explorer it only points to the pictures folder. It is not a database. So the files do not need to be transfered at all. Just navigate photoshop or any other CS5 program to the pictures folder and work your way through the child folders.

  • Transferring catalogue to a new computer/updated Elements

    I am currently using Elements 8 on my existing laptop. I am about to instal Elements 10 on a new laptop. In order to transfer my existing catalogue do I simply do a back up in the existing Elements 8 and then restore in Elements 10 on the new laptop? Many thanks

    Yes.
    Sewe these notes which apply from PSE6 onwards.

    If you imported your picture files in a new catalog (by 'get media...'), you could not get all the information of your catalog.
    Or did you convert your PSE9 catalog from PSE12 ?

  • Transferring files from Kodak Zi8 into Photo Elements

    How to accomplish this fete, one step at a time...
    Had a bad experience with ArcSoft or something like that. U had to connect the zi8 to do anything. Transfer files or do idits. And for some reason the zi8 would go into spastics. . . . hogging all memory [2gb] for 2 or three minutes whenever it wanted to. . . Never did figure out why or what triggered it to do that.
    Awaiting any/all suggestions. . . .
    Thanks.....

  • Moving Photoshop Elements catalogues from a PC to a Mac

    I have created several photo catalogues on my PC using Photoshop Elements 7. I have now moved to a Mac computer. I have imported my photos tom my new computer, and into iPhoto. However I would like to continue organising and editing them with Photoshop Elements. To this end I intend to purchase the Photoshop Elements for Mac software. However if I do this how to I move the catalogue (and stack details) for my photo collection to the Mac? Grateful for some advice.

    And presumably once i have checked everything has imported correctly, i can then delete those photos in iPhoto that I now have duplicates of in my new Mac PSE folder? This would then provide a sort of safeguard on the transfer process. Will all the stacks, catalogues etc. in the new Mac PSE file be the same as on my old PC PSE file? As I have a lot of very old family photos from the early part of the last century i have numerous edits of each photo. These all appear separately in iPhoto. Presumably they will appear stacked as one photo in my new Mac PSE file? Apologies for these aggravating little questions but I want to make sure everything will be OK before starting the process.

  • Import catalogue from adobe photoshop elements

    How can I import a photo catalogue from adobe photoshop elements (9.0) into Aperture?
    Thanks for every hint,
    Penibel

    Yes, use File>Write tags and properties to file and Elements should pick up the metadata keywords this creates. However, if you have raw files or tiffs from an epson scanner, the metadata creation can be unreliable.

  • Importing tags from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 5

    I have had Photoshop Album 2.0.2 for several years and it currently holds the information of 13000+ tagged items. I have a detailed tagging system set up which I don't want to lose.  I also have Photoshop Elements 5 and having just discovered that Photoshop Album is now discontinued I wanted to transfer my existing information into Elements.
    I have spent some time trying varies options but cannot find the solution I want.
    If I select a photo from file to import into Elements then the tagging information does not come with it.
    If I export an image from Album to desktop and then import it into Elements no tags come with it.
    If I email a photo from Album to myself then import that image it does come with the tags into Elements.
    Obviously I can't email all 13000 images to myself to import them but can someone suggest how I can transfer this data - obviously the photos themselves don't need to move as both programmes only keep a link to the original location to the photos.
    I'm not interested in using the online storage system but wonder if one solution might be to upload all my phots to that temporarily then reimport them to Elements.
    Additionally is it possible to import my current tag structure  rather than have imported tags all appearing under a 'imported tags' tag.
    Any help grately appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gill

    Thank you so much it worked - the only thing that didn't transfer was the folder pics I'd chosen for the tags so that didn't take long to redo - many thanks - I'd never have found that. It would have been so much more obvious if it showed 'open' or 'select catalogue' rather than just the word 'catalogue' with no other options visible from the dropdown menu.
    Happy Bunny here!

  • Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Phtoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

    Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

    I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today.  It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10.  I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
    I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

  • How can I open grouped folder layers from the full version of Photoshop into my Photoshop Elements 10 verison?

    I have gotten a PSD from a coworker who asked for some help. He has the Full version of Photoshop and I have the Elements 10 version. I cannot open the grouped folders into individual layers and manipulate the current design that needs work. How can I get more functionality out of Elements and ungroup these layers?

    You could get elements+ which is a very cheap add on.

  • Help me import images from Photoshop into a Premiere Elements project!

    How do I add photos from Photoshop to existing Premire Elements project.

    If you have edited the Images in Photoshop, just Save_As PSD (or TIFF). Set the Still Duration to the desired time, in PrE's Edit>Preferences. Then, Import them into PrE. From the Project Panel, just drag the Image(s) to the Timeline, and to an appropriate Video Track. Say, if you want to place the Image between Clips, just drag it there, and the rest of the Clips/Images on that Video Track will Ripple.
    If you want to replace parts of a Clip, with that Image, just hold down Ctrl/Cmd and drag to the appropriate location.
    If you want to overlay it, with an existing Clip, just place it onto a higher Video Track. Note: this yields the same general result, as the method above.
    I strongly suggest that you Scale your Image in Photoshop, to match, or nearly so, the Frame Size of your Project's Preset.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,

  • How do I download images from a camera into Photoshop Elements 7?

    Previously I've  downloaded digital images directly from my camera into Photoshop Elements 7.0  In trying to do that today, I go to "File", choose "Get pictures from Camera", then see a "source" box, with an instruction to "Get Pictures from:" and offers a "source" box for choosing.  The single "source" listed is my printer, not my camera!  Am I doing something wrong? Is Photoshop defective?
    Please help me out.
    Gene F.

    Hi Gene
    Yes Elements is defective.
    There are known bugs with the photo downloader, notably if you run the program on a net book or laptop with minimum screen resolution.
    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) will not.
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.

  • Is it possible to send photos from LR 5 to Photoshop Elements 12 and directly get them opened in layers?

    I want to do Exposure Blending in Photoshop Elements 12 and I am wondering if it is possible to send photos (RAW) from LR 5 to Photoshop Elements 12 and get them directly opend in different layers?

    I don't use Photoshop Elements. Photoshop has an option to open images merging them to HDR. Does Elements have an HDR option? If it doesn't then I don't think there's any way to send the images layered.

  • How can I  process raw files from lumix GH4 on photoshop elements 12?

    How can I  process raw files from lumix GH4 on photoshop elements 12?

    Your files should open in photoshop elements 12, since there is only one version of camera raw 8.5
    (RC means a release candidate of 8.5, which came before the final version of camera raw 8.5 and was for testing)
    In the pse 12 editor if you go to File>Open and select one of the lumix GH4 and then press Open, what happens?
    In the pse 12 editor, if you go to Photoshop Elements>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
