What happens to Hidden Photos from Elements

If upgrading from PSE9 to LR3.3, what will happen to all the photos that are hidden? Does LR support hidden photos?

Actually, I just went through this exercise with PSE10 and LR5 (converting my PSE10 catalog).  Your hidden photos from PSE will import into LR5 but they will show up flagged as REJECTED.  So just be aware that they are in your LR5 catalog but they are flagged as being rejected.  This is important to know so you don't accidentally delete all your hidden photos because they were flagged as rejected.  I wish LR had the Hidden Photo attribute, it's just a nice way to keep your images in one catalog, but not be bogged down with photos that you rarely need access to.  In some ways, I like the PSE Catalog Organizer better than the LR5 Organizer. There are some PSE features that don't exist in LR for whatever reason. 
The other thing to be aware of is that NONE of my offline photos from PSE imported into LR during the catalog conversion, so if you have any of those in your PSE catalog (photos that you have archived to removeable media like CD, DVD, or USB thumb drives) they need to be imported separtely into LR.  It seems like Adobe (as usual) didn't really think through this process all the way.   My experience with Adobe software is that it's really cool when it works which is most of the time, but start to do anything out of the 80/20 rule and things start to get a little dicey. I would never say that it's rock-solid.  Their approach seems to be that if you want to get all the bug fixes, you have to pay to upgrade to the next version (and inherit a whole new set of bugs).      .

    Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened?  Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

  • What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean?

    What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean in the Lightroom 4 features list? I also see it stated as "...from other software" as well. Yes, I understand the LR can import from Elements libraries but can't find any reference to other applications anywhere, not in the online help, not in the user guide, not in any videos on Adobe TV. It would be nice if LR could see into iPhoto or Aperture libraries but that doesn't appear to be the case. Is that assumption correct? What other applications can LR import from?

  • How do I send edited photos from Elements 12 to Costco for printing?

    New user and have checked all trainng info....   How do I send edited photos from Elements 12 to Costco for printing?  Only Shutterfly is offered as option.  Or how can I export to "my pictures" or thumb drive?  

    If you don't have the special costco edition (in which case you should see costco as an option for ordering prints), if the photos are in the organizer, use File>Export as New File(s) to send them to your thumb drive, if that's what you want to do, or export them to a folder on your desktop, go to the costco website and point their software to that folder for uploading. If you don't use organizer, just save the files to a folder on your desktop and do the same.

  • What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8

    What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2? How do I recover them?j

    Hi arnpa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've updated your iOS device to iOS 8, the photos should still be on the device. The photos will be organized differently than they were previously, though.
    In iOS 8, the Photos app organizes photos by date instead of by device or photo source. Here are some questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8.
    Where can I find the Camera Roll?
    The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
    When you open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab, you'll see your photos and videos listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. Tap Moments to see individual photos organized by date and location, tap Collections to zoom out to a more condensed view, and then tap Years to zoom out even more. Tap a collection or year to zoom back in.
    And you'll now have a Recently Added album, which shows the photos and videos added to your device in the last 30 days, organized by date. To see your Recently Added album, tap Albums > Recently Added.
    Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
    In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
    If you were using iPhoto for iOS, make sure that you migrated your photos.

    If the photos are no longer on your device, and you backed up to iCloud or iTunes, you may need to restore from a backup:

    how much data is used uploading photos from element 12 to adobe revel

    Rixonruss,
    The size of your photos and videos you mark in Elements for upload depicts how much data is being uploaded. However for download, only small size previews get downloaded first unless you download the originals from Elements whenever needed in any Elements workflows.

  • How to upload photos from elements 9 to Revel

    How to upload photos from elements 9 to Revel

    There is no direct link from PSE 9 to revel the way there was to photoshop.com. Revel didn't exist when PSE 9 was written and there's nothing in PSE 9 that can understand or connect with Revel. You are not going to be able to do everything you could do with photoshop.com, like keep your catalog synced. You use a web browser and find your photos to share exactly the same way you would if they were not in the organizer at all.

    how do i export photos from elements 12 to a flash drive on a mac?

    You don't.  There is the Camera Connection Kit, which let's you download pictures to your iPad via SD card, but the reverse is not a standard feature of iPad.  The best method would be to connect your iPad to your computer and transfer the pictures to your computer via iTunes.

  • HT6378 What happened to my photo stream photos?

    Only my photos from the camera roll saved to 'all photos.' I lost over 700 photos that were in my photo stream. What happened to them?

    Hello 75river,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not seeing the option for My Photo Stream on your iPad, then I'd like you to please ensure your iCloud settings are configured correctly.  Go to Settings > iCloud and tap on Photos.  There is the option to enable or disable Photo Stream.  Another reason why the My Photo Stream album could be missing is that you have enabled the iCloud Photo Library.

  • Transfer Photos from Elements 4 on Windows XP to Lightroom on a new Mac

    Can I transfer photos including the metadata and tags from Elements 4 (windows XP)  to a Mac running the
    Maverick OS and Lightroom.   If so what is the best process.

    There is no real path at this time to upgrade a PSE 4 catalog to a Lightroom catalog. Existing versions of Lightroom allow upgrades of PSE 6 through PSE 11 catalogs.
    The best you can do is have PSE 4 write the metadata to the photo files, and then import the photos into Lightroom. You will lose certain items in the PSE 4 catalog such as version sets, stacks, collections, notes and possibly a few other things. Your tags should be transferred (although even with tags there are some bugs)
    Another option is to convert the PSE 4 catalog to a PSE 12 catalog (using the 30-day free trial of PSE 12) and then wait until LR supports conversion of PSE 12 catalogs, in which case you would not lose the aforementioned items (except notes still will not transfer)
