Upgrade from PSE 6 to PSE8

I have just installed PSE 8 & I opened the program. Not all of my photos from PSE6 moved to PSE8. When I would open 6 it always would have a message if there were new pictures on my computer that needed to be moved to my catalog. Can someone help me please?

Did you convert the PSE6 catalog to PSE8?

Tag issue when upgrading from PSE 7 to 11

I've upgraded from PSE 7 to 11 and the tags for people, while there, do not appear in the "people" section fo PSE11. Any suggestions on how to get them all to show?

In PSE11, people tags have been moved to People view, this view contains all people tags along with categories. In case you want to view them along with tags panel, it can be enabled through View->Show People in Tag panel.

Best way to upgrade from PSE 5.0 to PSE 8

I have installed, as an administrator, PhotoShop Elements 5.0, for a user. I wan to upgrade that to PhotoShop Elements 8.
What is the best way to do this?
When I did this several years ago, going from PhotoShop Album 2.0 to PSE 5.0 it was suggested to do this, which I did:
I backed up the catalog through the menu option in PhotoShop Album. Uninstalled PhotoShop Album, Installed the new PhotoShop Elements 5.0. Restored the catalog. This worked perfectly fine. Is this a good route to go for an upgrade from PSE 5 to PSE 8? Is there a better way?
Thanks for any tips.
Mark Miesfeld

Thanks for the quick response.
The user on this system mostly uses PhotoShop Elements 5.0 to orgainize her photos. I don't think she does much editing of the photos. She has over 20,000 photos.
I thought that upgrading ti PSE 8 would give her better performance. But, I now see several reviews saying that the orgainizer performance in PSE 7 and PSE 8 is worse.
Do you have any comment on that?
Thanks again.

Photoshop Upgrade from PsE?

Can I buy a upgrade to photoshop if all I have is elements 12?
[Title changed for clarity - Hunt]

Cutiepaatudy,
Going back many years, Adobe did offer a form of Competitive Upgrade from PsE to Ps, but I have not seen one of those in a very long time.
As JJMack points out, PsE is not in any upgrade path now, but with the CC (Creative Cloud) subscription license, one can get Ps for a fairly low payment. Also, Adobe has done a bit of "bundling" of a few other programs, so that might be a good route.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I will also change the title of the post, to reflect an Upgrade question, to help others with the same, or very similar question. They can benefit from JJMack's response.

Upgrades from PSE 9

Is it possible to purchase an upgrade from Elements 9 or 10 to CS5?
Thanks,
Dave

Yes, but it's not officially offered all the time. You don't qualify for the PS version to version upgrade price of $199, but you can frequently upgrade from PSE to PS for $299. If you call adobe sales and ask nicely, sometimes they'll give you that price when it's technically not available.

Upgrading from PSE to CS6

I've created a lot in PSE9 and am tired of the limitations. If I upgrade from PSE to CS6 will the new program convert my old creations from RGB to CMYK?

What do you mean by creations? CMYK is only relevant to printing.

Trouble upgrading from PSE 3.0 to PSE 8.0

I'm getting an unusable format of my ver 8.0 when upgrading from ver 3.0. My 3.0 PHOTO browser is OK but my 3.0 FILE browser is a mess because I moved many files by "getting" pictures and "deleting from catalog" rather than using the FILE browser in Editor. Does ver 8.0 look at the PHOTO browser or the FILE browser when installing. If this is the problem, is there a way to re-initialize or update the ver 3.0 file browser before I install ver 8.0. I'm using Windows XP SP3. I'll appreciate any help. I'm stuck.

I have used Windows Explorer to managemy directories and files for some time. Last night while trying to get a handle on what was happening I found two troubling things. First, adding or deleting categories and sub-categories in PSE 3 Organizer does not add or delete them in the Editor File Browser. Not having used the File Editor for some time I never discovered this. I'm sure that somewhere, early on in my use of PSE 3, I found information that lead me to believed that the two browsers held the same information.
The second thing has also escaped me for some time because I ignored the File Browser. There was a second copy of the Documents folder and the My Pictures folder in the File Browser. These were relics from a long time ago when I had placed shortcuts to both the Documents folder and the My Pictures folder on my desktop because it made it easier to access them. As I grew more familiar with using the program I realized that a shortcut to Windows Explorer was all I needed. So, I sent both the Documents and Pictures shortcuts to the Recycle bin. That, of course, as I found with Categories and Sub-categories, did not remove the short cuts from the File Browser. I was not aware that the shortcuts were still in the File Browser. All of this simply means that when I tried to upgrade to PSE 8 it was confused. When I removed PSE 8 after the bad install things got more scrambled.
I have removed the second copies of Documents and Pictures and am now starting on the, I'm afraid, long process of getting my files in order. It's clear to me why the two browsers didn't agree. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Can i upgrade from PSE 10 to 11?

I have a friend who had PSE 10 and she updated to 11 through an update for free since she already owned the program. I own the program and have the serial key and everything, so can i update too? I'm running on a Mac OS X and she is on Windows, if that makes any kind of a difference.

The only time you get a free upgrade from one version to the next is when you buy an old version after a newer one is announced/released. So if your friend bought PSE 10 after PSE 11 had been announced, yes, she might have gotten a free upgrade. Otherwise you must always purchase an upgrade from one version of PSE to any later version.
EDIT and most of the time it makes more sense to buy the full version instead of the upgrade, since if you shop around it's usually available cheaper than adobe's upgrade price.

How to maintain tags when upgrading from PSE 5 to PSE 12?

I'm upgrading from Photoshop Elements version 5 to version 12, as my current version is not working properly. (Possibly corrupted?). It will not allow me to backup my catalog - the software freezes after a period of time during the "Reconnecting Files" stage. I'm reluctant to proceed in fear of losing the thousands of tags I have if the installation process does not go smoothly (since I don't have a backup of my catalog). Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately my situation may be worse than I
originally thought. ALL of my files are showing that they are "Missing" and
need to be "Reconnected," however the software freezes when I try to
reconnect. I still have the photo files under "My Photos" on my hard drive
but if the "Reconnect" is not made before launching Version 12, doesn't
that mean that I will lose all the cataloging/tags made in Photoshop? I
plan to install PSE12 on the same machine. I'm at a loss on how to proceed.
It would be so disappointing to lose hundreds of hours of organization over
a ten year time period on thousands of photos.

I just recently upgraded from PSE 10 to 12 & recently upgraded to OX 10.8.5 scanner is not linking

I have used PSE to scan anything into and then crop, alter, etc. etc. Now I cannot see any import or export links at all.
PSE 12 is not recognizing my scanner. I can use my scanner software so now that it is working in OS 10.8.5
I think the plug-ins were not transferred from PSE 10 to 12 ??????   There is a twain in the plug-in folder.??
Help ????????

Dear Barbara B.   thanks for your continued replies. I re-installed PSE 12 and DID EXACTLY AS YOU SAID.
My optional plug-in folder that includes Twain in NOW IN THE PLUG-IN FOLDER. I did take a screen shot
of this but cannot attach to this e-mail.   It still does not work.
When I'm in PSE 12 and to to the file drop down box.Close All, Save, Import, Export Export creations are all in light grey color. This is when I even open a file that is already on my desktop.

Upgrading from PSE 10 best way download or buy disks

I am not computer savy for starters. I have PSE 10 and need to upgrade but don't want to lose my photos in my organizer or lose organization (happened to me in past when updated). Is best way to prevent this by downloading a new version or buying the actual disks at a store? Also if I buy a new computer in the coming months will I need physical disks to put it on my new system or is there a way to get program and contents back if downloaded from old computer?

I have PSE 10 and need to upgrade but don't want to lose my photos in my organizer or lose organization (happened to me in past when updated).
Here are directions pertaining to the Organizer
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

You can purchase physical disks for installation, or download. You should consider that your new computer may not have a CD/DVD drive depending on what you purchase.

What's the best method for upgrading from PSE 9 to PSE 11 or 12

If I recall correctly, the last time I upgraded, I was advised to make a backup in the old version of PSE -- version 6 -- and then restore from that backup after I subsequently installed PSE 9. (However, I didn't uninstall PSE 6.)
Does that still work?
After creating that backup in PSE 9, is it then best to uninstall PSE 9 before installing 11 or 12??

It's good to make a backup, but just to have a current backup, if you're installing the newer version on the same computer. PSE 11 should just find your PSE 9 catalog and offer to upgrade it, without having to do any kind of restore.

Missing Tags in upgrade from PSE 10 to PSE 11

My "people tags" used in pse 10 now show up as groups in pse 11, how do I add photos to these groups? What am I missing?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, the solution was simply to select from View, "show people in tag panel".
