Updated from pse 6 to 8

I just updated from pse 6 to pse8. When I "converted" the catalog it seemd to go quite quickly which tells me it only converts the catalog but uses the previous picture files (I have a zillion.) is that correct? it seems to be working fine.
also, it put the catalog on my C drive and I have my pictures on an external drive. Is that OK?

Yes, that sounds right. The catalog only contains links to your photos, not the actual photos themselves. So when you convert a catalog from an old version of PSE to a new one, the conversion goes pretty quickly. Keeping the catalog in the default location on the C drive is fine (and will generally give the fastest performance).

Some starter questions after update from pse 10 to 13.

Hello there,
ive just installed pse&pre13 and imported and converterd my cataloge from pse10 to my new pse13.
After some surching for viewing settings zo its looks the same as my old screen i discoverd a couple of things:
1) not al my fototags are converterd in to my new catalog. (very anoying ) probable the program needed some time after opening to make al the tags visible after 20 min it was corrected.
2) even with a i7 4770 cpu and 8bg mem and solidstate hd the new pse 13 freezes for some seconds after change to maps view
3) when i started for a quick look premiere (not the cataloge) it was complaining about a dvd or disk witch it couldend find. It asked for a suitable medium in station E..
cant ignore it or past it except by placing the instaldisk and click on X.
(found the solution in the forum as an answere to somewan else. => rename oldfilm.eax in the newblue folder to .......eaxold => little bug fix)
have anyone also stumbeld on/over this problems?
And more conveniant: wich solution is availeble?

Hi Don,
today I read a lot of other posts in this forum touching this issue.
Sorry, but I'm not a native speaker, maybe that's why I did not find a lot those posts before. After reading all this, there are still some things that are not quite clear to me.
First of all: Crystal Report printing inconsistancies in .NET
Is there a way to get around this? Scanning forms and using them as a backgroundimage...? Are you serious about that?
I read a lot about different registry keys to solve the margin and scaling issue.
We are using
Crystal Reports XI
Visual Studio 2010
Runtime 13.0.9.1312 (before 10.5.0.0)
Which registry key is needed on which system (CR XI and VS2010 are not on the same System)
Do we also have to register a key on the customer systems?
We moved from Runtime 10 to 13 because we had major issues with Windows 8.1. Do you know if these issues still occur? Is there an SP for that?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).

All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it). The files are all on the HD. When I try and reimport them, Organizer says they are already in there and will not allow me to proceed. When I highlight a keyword, Get the message "NO MEDIA TO BE DISPLAYED". Perhaps I am dense, but I find the Search function of the Forum to be near useless, unless I just happen to type the Exact name of a topic.
I now have no access to perhaps 35,000 files from 12 years of using PSE!

Which operating system are you running on? Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Which version did you upgrade from? updated from PSE 13 to PSE 13.1
In the organizer, which view are you using - in the View menu is Details checked or unchecked - does it make any difference? was unchecked now checked. Now can see the other files, but the Keyword tags that I had attached in the past does not bring up the selected frames.
In the View menu, select Media types - are all checked? At this point I have only Ohotos and videos checked
In View menu, select Hidden Files - is Show All Files checked? yes
I'm assuming that you are in Media view, what happens if you select People Places or Events? get groupings of files with those keywords.

Thanks Brian, at least some of my problems are gone, just can't get the keyword sorting to work correctly

I have been updating my PSE since 10. Recently I purchased PSE13 as I didn't see an update for my 12. I was changing to a new laptop as my old laptop had been patched and worked and was showing signs of giving out. It was a Window's 7OS. My new one is a W

I have been updating my PSE since 10. Recently I purchased PSE13 as I didn't see an update for my 12. I was changing to a new laptop as my old laptop had been patched and worked and was showing signs of giving out. It was a Window's 7OS. My new one is a Windows 8 OS so I bought the 13 and downloaded it on the new laptop. Our desktop had died so I downloaded the 13 on the new desk computer also. Not thinking I downloaded 13 on my old laptop as I hope to get it patched up enough to be a backup for my photography. When I tried to activate it I realized that I had downloaded it too often. I didn't know you could only use it on two computers. Learn something new every day.. Any way I removed it and now my PSE 12 does not seem to be working. Now it could be something that I did or something that is an issue with the laptop. this laptop has all the previous editions on board as I always tried to update, except for the year I got a really good deal on Black Friday. I also notice that the new laptop has a copy of PSE 12 in the program list. To my knowledge I have never deactivated any of my PSE's except the extra 13 downloaded. Bottom line, do I need to go in and deactivate previous PSE versions and removed them from my computer? I could certainly use the space and secondly, can I deactivate the PSE 12 and then go back and reacitivate it and install it again on the old laptop or the desktop, whichever I deside would be the most appropriate place for the newer program. For the PSE 12 since it is an updater for 11, does the 11 still need to be on the laptop? thanks for anyone who can understand what I am trying to say and can advise me as to my next move. Thank you very much.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Cannot print to an HP Officejet 5610 anything from PSE Version 10

Help! I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 10 and I cannot print anything either directly from it, or even anything created out of it to my HP Officejet 5610 series printer. I am not having the same issue that others have reported with the Fax Window coming up, nothing prints at all. It doesn't even go into the Print Queue. I have been discussing (on a forum) with HP and they have suggested using the Deskjet 990C driver. I tried that and still nothing happens. I can print to a Canon Pixma with no issue, it's definitely something with this printer/print driver. I tried renaming the printer to make it shorter, I have tried completely deleting and reinstalling the printer (using HP Cleanup utility), I have updated drivers, tried using the 5610 as well as the 450C and 990C.
This is happening directly out of PSE as well as anything I create and save - so making it a PDF, it won't print. Making it a JPG, it won't print. I can print PDF files not created in PSE with no issue. I can print JPGs not created by PSE with no issue.
Anyone have any other suggestions on things I can try?

Hi,
Can you try some experiments please - or tell us if you have tried them.
1) Load a new image (one that hasn't been saved before) into the editor and without saving it, try printing from the editor. It is important that PSE hasn't saved it.
2) Load any image into the editor and do a Save for Web (you may have to reduce the size) in JPG format and see if you can print that JPG either from PSE or another program.
Please let us know the results.

Problems loading updates for PSE/PRE 9 after re-installation

Hi
After having upgraded Windows 8.1 to 64 bit (earlier 32 bit) I re-installed both PSE 9 and PRE 9 and registered both of them
Next step was to download PSE/PRE updates (packages available for both products) but that ends with error messages
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
Photoshop Camera Raw 6.5 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
I quit and came back later - several times - yesterday and today - but no chance to load the updates.
I really need the updates at least for Camera Raw 6.5 which refuses to open CR2 files from a Canon EOS 60D
My guess was that it could have to do with missing deactivation of my previous installation (meanwhile fixed, by booting into 32bit Windows 8.1 - still available on another partition, deactivating and removing both PRE and PSE).
So I was in contact with Adobe Support via chat in case my serials had to be unlocked but they just replied that I would have received another error message and that I shall contact the forum for older products like PSE9
But they also stated that the updates are available @Adobe, no known system problems.
I hope you have a better answer.
Thank you for helping!

PS:
System Config: i5 3.2 GHz, 12 GB RAM, Windows 8.1 x64 t (new installed), NVidia GeForce GT520, latest driver
Main Adobe products in use: Lightroom 5.6 (x64), PSE 9 & PRE 9
Internet Connection: Fibre 100 Mbits up/down (this cannot be the reason )

It's an issue on adobes side.
The easiest thing to do is download and install the updates from here:

Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows
premiere elements 9

Convert catalog from PSE 6 to 10, is it necessary to include the jpegs?

Hello
I am testing PSE 10 (from PSE 6) and have copied the catalog to a test XP box (but not the jpegs). The catalog refuses to convert with an unspecic error: "Catalog conversion failed" see "Catalog Conversion Errors" for more details.
PSE 6 can find no problems with the existing catalog and I have worked trhough eg http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/515/cpsid_51525.html .
If the conversion process requires the jpegs etc. then that will certainly cause a problem, they are not visible to this PC! On the other hand, if it is simply a matter of converting the catalog without reference to the source files then there should be no problem.
I am reluctant to allow a conversion process to break a very considerable investment in effort in the PSE6 catalog and want to see it work (and have useful benefit to me) before committing the original.
Some rough statistics: 45,000 images, 140GB data, catalog is around 1.5GB. It takes about 3 mins for 'repair' to run (having forced a 'repair anyway') and under 10 mins for 'optimize'.
I should add that I have run the psedbtool and while it finds that two drives are missing (E: and F:), there are no missing files. E: and F: are USB backup drives and are not connected, nor would I expect them to be. All photos are in one (top level that is) folder on one drive. If the convertor can only run when the backup drives are connected, that seems a little odd.
If the only option is to restore the backed up PSE 6 archive into PSE 10, that is do-able, but I was trying to avoid doing that.
Perhaps the more pertinant question is "what does PSE 10 offer that I haven't got in PSE 6?". So far I have not found any really useful function, maybe a couple of the irritating bugs have been fixed? (Mostly the date orderby bug) I have lived with the multi-core hang since PSE 6 came out and don't use PSE to catalog my raw files, so that fix has no benefit to me.

Well after an all day effort, I have a working W7 64 bit with a spare 1TB drive and all the updates done (about a 2GB download). That has taken about eight hours. Then recover the PSE 6 created backup files into PSE 10, (took about three hours) and for good measure forced a repair and optimize on the catalog. No errors at any point.
PSE 10 crashes when in slide show view. Sometimes it gets through about two images, sometimes 100 or so, but always it crashes. So I am ready to give up, PSE 6 is stable at least (though I have yet to try PSE 6 under W7 64bit, my standard PC is W XP 32 bit).
One possible benefit of W7 is the color fidelity is better (I have color calibration too). The management of the twin screen is not better though, PSE keeps vanishing from view (this is not related to the crash) and has to be coaxed back onto the secondary screen. PSE 6 under XP gets this right.
I checked the arm chair arm image again, it is the wooden arm of a director's portable chair seen from the side, no matter how I try I can't see a face in it. I realise now that the 'obvious' faces that get missed are when the eyes are not horizontal, even a small turning of the head results in the face being missed.

Keywords imported from PSE 5.0 (Poor User Experience)

When moving to Lightroom, I successfully imported my substantial catalog (6,000 images) from Photoshop Elements 5.0. Keyword importing doesn't seem to be quite right, however. I've noticed the following two problems.
1. All keywords appear both in their proper hierarchy AND as separate, top level keywords. For example, I have:
Family
Kids
Nick
as well as just:
Nick
All they Nick photos are tagged with both keywords (just "Nick" and "Nick>Kids>Family.")
These keywords seem to be treated by LR as separate keywords. For instance, if I apply "Nick" to a photo, it does not update the photo count for "Nick>Kids>Family." And vice versa.
This is a confusing situation. So it seems that I should delete all of the standalone, top level keywords, like "Nick." Do others agree? Is this a bug in the importing process from PSE 5.0?
2. The hierarchy tags do not seem to update the photo count properly. When I create a parent/child keyword relationship in Lightroom, the addition of a child tag will of course update the count for the parent ("Family" as well as "Nick"). But this does not seem to work with respect to the keyword hierarchies imported from PSE 5.0. So perhaps I should essentially re-create the keyword structure in LR, which wouldn't be that hard to do. (Select "Nick" photos, delete the existing keywords, and create a new "Nick" keyword with the proper parent/child relationships.)
Again, have others seen this behavior? Or am I misunderstanding how this functionality is supposed to work?
I'm running LR 1.3.1 on Windows Vista.
Thanks.

I'm trying the Lightroom trial version and have had very similar issues on my import from Elements 5.02.
I get a Top level tag and a matching one in a tree, event though it is only in the tree in Element Organizer. Some seem to have the identical set of photos, but others like "Emma" (my cat) have 10 photos attached at the top level and 200+ in the tree.
I'm also struggling with using multiple keywords at once like
Jim + Mexico + Lisa
In the tree view I can only select one at a time and when typing into FIND it sometimes narrows the selection drastically for no apparent reason.
Any pointers for someone happy with their Elements Organizer into Lightroom import would be most appreciated.

ACR 6.6 update for PSE 9

To quote the Adobe readme:
"Adobe® Photoshop® Camera Raw 6.6 Read Me
Installation
This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9."
I have PSE 9.0.3 with ACR 6.5.0.216 but I am looking to buy one of the cameras newly supported by ACR 6.6. From the Adobe readme, the ACR 6.6 is also for PSE 9.
I tried the update in PSE and it informed me there were no updates available. However, from the Adobe site, ACR 6.6 was also for PSE 9. I followed the instructions for manual installation and downloaded the zip file (for Windows - have Win 7 Pro fully updated).
The installer told me that "update not applicable".
Simple question:
Is the new version of ACR (6.6) available for PSE 9 or not?
Thanks.

Adobe certainly aren't making themselves trying to force people to move to PSE 10. OK if they want to play that with PSE 12 but not with PSE 9!
I'm not sure I understand your version 12 vs. 9 comment.
Regardless, in order to stay in business of COURSE they want to develop business practices to encourage people to purchase their newer versions of software!
You want to pay money to buy new camera technology but somehow you think you should not have to pay money to buy new software technology? Why not?
Becasine67 wrote:

As you appear to have found out, Adobe does provide everyone a (less convenient/integrated) free solution to allow you to continue to use your older software with newer cameras, via the DNG Converter application, the latest version of which you can freely download.
For what it's worth, I always buy the upgrades to the latest versions of Photoshop, but I once thought as you do - before I discovered Adobe's free DNG solution.
Happy raw converting!

How do import files from pse 12 to pse 13

Hi. how do I import files from pse 12 to pse 13 .. I was given 'full' version as opposed to update from 12 to 13

Hi trog1654,
You can take back up of the catalog in PSE12 and restore it in PSE13 or you can use convert feature(Catalog Manger(shortcut:Ctrl+Shift+C)-->convert) in PSE13. It will be a good option if you want to move all files from PSE12's catalog.

How do I ensure that my whole catalog transfers from PSE 12 to PSE 13?

I am moving from PSE 12 to PSE 13 on my Mac (Yosemite). PSE 13 detects my catalog, but only seems to be able to find an older version of it, so only some of my photos (the older ones) are converted to PSE 13. I know that it is only finding an older version not just because the pictures only go up to a certain date after conversion, but also because there is some function (I forget what) that lets me see what PSE 13 thinks of a catalog it is converting, and that function shows the catalog modified only as of the older date.
I downloaded updates to PSE 13 before my first conversion attempt. After the first failure, I repaired and optimized the old catalog before attempting to convert it again.
Thoughts?

Michael,
Thanks, but the Catalog Manager is the function I referred to in my earlier email as "some function (I forget what) that lets me see what PSE 13 thinks of a catalog it is converting, and that function shows the catalog modified only as of the older date." So I should have been clearer in my initial post, but I have already tried your suggestion, and it did not work. It converted the catalog that I wanted to convert, but it only converted the catalog through an earlier date, so it did not convert months of my more recent photos.

Installing Update in PSE

How do I install the PSE update from 9.0.1 to 9.0.3 when message says that patch cannot be applied in Windows 7?

Uninstall PSE completely, reinstall, then only apply the 9.0.3 update. Updates are cummulative and include any previous updates, so there's no need to install any inbetween steps.

Catalog conversion error from PSE 9 to PSE10

Each time I try to convert the PSE 9 catalog using PSE10 I get an unspecified error.
I had problems after initially loading the programs and probably didn't choose the correct option to convert the catalog when first prompted. (I loaded Photoshop Elements and Photoshop Premiere 10). I currently have PSE 9.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programs. When I tried to convert the catalog, the program acted it was going to work, but then the conversion stopped part way through and gave me the error.
After a couple of tries more unsuccessful tries at converting the catalog, I logged out of the program. The next time I opened the PSE10 Organizer, it showed a message that said it was updating and seemed to get stuck in a loop. I stopped the program and restarted it with the same result. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the programs again so that I could get past this step.
Before I tried to convert again from PSE 10, I first tried to repair and optimize the catalog from PSE 9. That did not seem to help and I got the same unspecified error part way through the conversion.
Please advise.

Ken,
I wanted to thank you for your help and tell you how the problem got resolved.
I sat down last night to implement some of your suggestions below and the Adobe chat window popped up. I decided to give that a try.
My previous attempts at conversion of the catalog from PSE9 to PSE 10 seemed to stop at about 35% complete and then I got an unspecified error message. After a few false starts, t he technician had me find a temporary file that was created in that process. In my case the program added temp 1 to the catalog folder name, so it was in a folder called My catalog 1 temp 1. Surprisingly, choosing that catalog in the catalog manager window resulted in what appeared to be a complete catalog/set of thumbnails in the PSE 10 organizer. The technician then had me restore my PSE9 backup in PSE10 (I did a PSE 9 backup before I installed the 10 software) . The restore took some time so I haven't had the opportunity to put it to the test but everything seems to be there, incuding videos and face recognition and I confirmed that I have access to the organizer from Premiere 10 also. I hope this helps you help someone else.
I hope Adobe developers read these forums and use that information to improve their programs this was an awful experience.
Thanks,
Kim

Cannot Login or Update from Photoshop Elements 10

I recently purchased an Epson scanner with Photoshop Elements 10 software. I cannot update from the software, I receive an error that the server is not responding... Error Code U41M1C212. I cannot sign in to Adobe from the software either, error 400. I can log in going directly to Adobe or Photoshop.com. I use Firefox, tried Internet Explorer also. Same result..
Any suggestions?

Okay. The only sign in on the current photoshop.com page is signing into adobe.com, just like here. There is NO photoshop.com anymore. Photoshop.com was adobe's earlier version of a space where you created a unique URL for your galleries that you could share with friends. You could also back up your organizer photos to photoshop.com and sync catalogs between computers this way. Those features are entirely gone now. There is no need to sign into anything in PSE 10.
If you don't believe me, here is a link to adobe's photoshop.com forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/ps.com_sharing_and_storage
and there is more info here:

Will PSE 9 use my Bridge (CS4) from PSE 8?

I've decided to move to PSE 9 from PSE 8.
1) will 9 still use the same Bridge (CS4) that came with 8? My friend who has a PC (I have Mac) did not get Bridge with her 8 and I did. Why is that?
2) will I have an updated version of Adobe Raw or will it be the same one from 8?

Yes, you can still use Bridge. It should automatically choose PSE 9 for any file types you had set to open in PSE 8.
However, you can't update camera raw for bridge anymore, not past ACR 5.7, so if you get a new camera model those raw files will not show thumbnails in bridge and can't be converted by the bridge version of the raw converter.
Ever since PSE 3, the windows version came with Organizer (which used to be Photoshop Album before it was grafted into PSE). Due to the difficulties of porting it over to the mac, it's taken them a while to get it into the mac version.

Updated from pse 6 to 8
