Transferring images from Elements 8 to Elements 12 and keeping album organisation

I upgraded from Elements 8 to Elements 12 early in 2014. How do I transfer all my E8 images in their proper category and album organisation into E12? (I cannot see them in E12). How do I stop E8 loading when I plug in a camera or card? Can I safely uninstall E8 without losing images and albums?

Thanks again and final resulting question:
If I uninstall the older version, will I be able to continue working on
productions I have in progress right now? Specifically, I am half way
through two major productions combining still images (processed through
Photoshop Elements 8) and video footage imported into Premiere Elements 8.
If I uninstall Elements 8 can I just continue to work on and complete these
projects in PRE12 OR would I first have to respond to a lot of "where is . .
." questions OR would I have to go back Square 1? And what would happen to
all the keyword tags assigned to individual files in Organizer 8 - would
they be picked up automatically by Organizer 12?
Many Thanks,
Walter

    Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    The alternative is to wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..
    We will be watching for a confirmation on what program you are using.

  • Convert image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB

    Hey.
    I wonder if anyone has experience with converting image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB?
    I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back. I read that it supposed to cause some loss in the data, but I can't see anything on the image, it is still very huge and the 2 RGB files has the same size as well. Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
    Thanks for help

    I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back.
    The original RGB data is not being restored by converting from the CMYK version, so the term "keep" seems inappropriate.
    What are the actual Color Spaces (ICC profiles) involved?
    Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
    How did resolution come into this?
    To determine how large a portion of the image has been changed you could
    • make a flattened copy of the original image
    • place a flattened copy of the RGB->CMYK->RGB image on top of that and set it to Blend Mode Difference
    • add an Adjustment Layer (Curves for example) to brighten the image

  • Get image from Excel as shape and Save as .jpg

    Hello,
       I'm fairly new to ActiveX and am having a hard time doing a seemingly simple thing: getting a named image from an Excel file and saving it as a .jpg.  I have seen similar things done for Excel chart objects, but as I understand it images are "shapes" in Excel and I've been unable to find the right method to extract a shape. Please, if anyone could take a look at the attached folder and tell me if I am on the right track, if there is a better way to do this, or if there is a way to do this at all, it would be helpful.  Note that I don't care how efficient a strategy is developed - if I need to save to an intermediate file of another type, that's fine. The only goal is to be able to extract this image and save it with one mouse-click and no manual intervention.
    Folder contains: 1 example Excel file containing the image named "Picture 1"; 1 vi showing the method I've found for exporting Excel charts as .jpg's; and 1 vi with the progress I have made so far trying to pick the image from the Excel file and save it as a .jpg.  
    Thanks in advance!

  • I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

    I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac.  PC to PC is fine.  Nothing but problems with the Mac.  One example:
    While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac.  I click on paste to move the files.  I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started.  Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  Close the folder or file and try again..
    Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac.  I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files.  If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
    So I have one file to move, no problem.  If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once.  All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace.  Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file.  That file will then show something other than 0kb.  When it is done, the error process starts all over.  I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

    Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
    Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

  • Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

    iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

    This is what that error means:
    -54
    permErr
    Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
    Download and launch  BatChmod.  Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window.  Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group.  Everyone will have R only.
    Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button.  When done try importing the files again.

  • I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

    I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

    Your images are truly no longer present on the hard drive(s)? Have you had your operating system do a search for them?
    If such a search fails to find them, here's what I would do, in order
    Look in the trash can/recycle bin
    Restore from backups
    If you don't have backups ... well, why not? ... find a program on the internet called an "undelete utility" (free versons are available) and then download and install it and run it. If you are going to do this, then do not perform any other tasks on your computer except find the program, download it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), install it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), and run it. In the future, you will need to commit to making regular backups of your photos and of your Lightroom catalog file, no excuses.
    If that doesn't work, but the thumbnails still appear in Lightroom, you can probably recover the thumbnails from Lightroom via a plug-in, but these would be low-resolution versions of your photos, if you really need instructions on this step, write back

  • Hi transferring data from old to new and it is stuck on 1 min remaining for 1.5 days now.  any ideas

    transferring data from old to new and stuck on one min remaining for 1.5 days.  any ideas

    If you have already tried restarting the process and it continues to stall out, the only way to do it is through target disk mode. Because USB C is so new there is not an official way to do it. If you take it into an Apple Store they should transfer your data for free.

  • HT4236 I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. No dice. Help!

    I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

    Don't do that.
    Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
    Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
    Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external.
