Windows 7 - Windows 8 - Elements 9

My issue is rather simple.
Having bought and installed Elements 9 using a laptop running Vista I was very satisfied with Elements but unfortunately my Laptop was not. The hard drive crashed with the loss of all data but nothing to do with Elemnets 9.
I have now upgarded to Windows 7 Home edition and want to re-install Elements (from the bought disk) but at the same time I am considering upgarding my Laptop and OS. This will of course mean a new Laptop running Windows 8.
Can I install my Elements 9 onto my existing Laptop (Windows 7) and then transfer to my new laptop (Windows 8)? As I recall only two installations are permitted. From the above I have already used one but don't want to use my only remaining install, I would be happy to upgrade to Elements 10.
Thanks
Steve

You can reset activations by calling support. whther or not older versions will actualyl work on Win 8 technically is another question entirely....

  • Migrating from Windows Photoshop Elements to iPhoto '08

    I recently got a Mac and I'm looking into migrating from Windows Photoshop Elements 6.0 to iPhoto 7 ('08).
    I've seached this forum, but I didn't find any detailed tips, tricks and recommendations on how to do the migration. I know about the PE (Photoshop Elements) command to write keyword information into the files (something like File->write tags to file). Someone (IIRC Barbara B.) also mentioned something about scripts to make the transition smoother, although I haven't seen any detailed information on what and where these scripts are. Basically, I'd like to hear from users who have migrated from Windows Photoshop Elements. I have thousands of pictures and prior planning can save me lots of time.
    Some questions:
    1. Photoshop Elements has a tagging feature, which is similar to iPhoto's keyword feature. Not sure how iPhoto will process the keywords. Do I just import the pictures into iPhoto and iPhoto will recognize the keywords? Should I create the keywords in iPhoto ahead of time prior to import (using names that exactly match Photoshop tag names) ?
    2. In PE, I've assigned captions to pictures. Can iPhoto read the captions and treat them as titles or descriptions?
    3. In PE, I've assigned ratings to pictures. Can iPhoto read them, or do I need to manually redo the ratings in iPhoto?
    4. One PE feature that I will really miss is hierarchical tags (e.g. Family->Kid's name). (Aside: everyone, please put in a request to Apple to support this feature!!) While I would prefer a native iPhoto feature to support hierarchical tags, I saw that there are 3rd party plugins available. What's the best one in terms of features and long term support/viability? Is it Keyword Manager?
    5. Any easy way to translate my PE Album definitions when migrating to iPhoto? I assume I would need to recreate them from scratch based on keywords and optionally ratings?
    6. I'm afraid to ask this next question (and I'm sure this is worthy of many separate threads). I'm still grappling with the concept of Events. In my mind, an event is something "monumental", and I've used Albums in PE for these "monumenal" events. A large percentage of my pictures don't really fit into a "monumental event" categary. Instead, they are pictures that were taken in a random/candid manner. Or, I might have pictures that are truly events, but maybe only 1 or 2 pictures would fit into an event. If I started using iPhoto from the very beginning, it may be easier to deal with the concept of events. However, I already have thousands of pictures. I'm wary of importing all my pictures in one shot (rather than on a per "event" basis), since it may result in hundreds of events, which, IMO, wouldn't provide much organizational value. Anyone have any tips/philosophical opinions on how to deal with events when thousands of pictures need to be imported? Someone (T.D.?) mentioned they organize by year for older pictures. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Can't answer all your questions, but I'll have a go at a couple.
    1. Photoshop Elements has a tagging feature, which is similar to iPhoto's keyword feature. Not sure how iPhoto will process the keywords. Do I just import the pictures into iPhoto and iPhoto will recognize the keywords? Should I create the keywords in iPhoto ahead of time prior to import (using names that exactly match Photoshop tag names) ?
    If you write the tags to the file then iPhoto will recognise them as part of the IPTC data. There is no way to create tags in advance.
    2. In PE, I've assigned captions to pictures. Can iPhoto read the captions and treat them as titles or descriptions?
    Can Elements write these to the IPTC data? If so, iPhoto should read them. A little trial will confirm.
    3. In PE, I've assigned ratings to pictures. Can iPhoto read them, or do I need to manually redo the ratings in iPhoto?
    No, the IPTC data does not recognise ratings.
    4. One PE feature that I will really miss is hierarchical tags (e.g. Family->Kid's name). (Aside: everyone, please put in a request to Apple to support this feature!!) While I would prefer a native iPhoto feature to support hierarchical tags, I saw that there are 3rd party plugins available. What's the best one in terms of features and long term support/viability? Is it Keyword Manager?
    Keyword Manager is the way to do this.
    5. Any easy way to translate my PE Album definitions when migrating to iPhoto? I assume I would need to recreate them from scratch based on keywords and optionally ratings?
    What do you mean by "album definitions"?
    About Events:
    Don't get hung up on a word. They could have as easily called them 'trousers' and it would make almost as much sense
    An 'Event' is an import that is automatically divided into folders depending on the criteria you set in the iPhoto Preferences.
    Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
    You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
    So, really an Event is a Folder.
    For my money, Events are a very limited way of organising photos. They are strictly date and time based. As time goes by I consolidate them - Spring 06, Summer 07, America 08 (I do this as we have three cameras feeding the Library).
    I organise using Albums, Smart Albums and Keywords.
    Albums (Smart or otherwise) are virtual entities. Unlike Events, they reference files on the HD, so a pic can be in 1,10 or 100 Albums with no extra disk space used. (To have a pic in two events requires two copies of the files.) They are infinitely flexible and offer a much richer set of possibilities.
    How have you your photos organised currently? In folders? On what basis? If you can explain how that works we may be able to help you recreate this system in iPhoto.

  • Windows XP - Elements 1.0 and MPG files

    When I add MPG file to the Media window in Elements and then double click on them they play perfectly including the audio. When I drag them to the Timeline the video plays but there is no audio. AVI files work perfectly.
    Possible operator error.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    James,
    You have posted in a Photoshop Elements forum, but I think that your question is about Premiere Elements 1 so I recommend that you post on its forum at

    Usually an Elements license will work for either platform.  Try downloading the Mac trial version and use the serial number to activate it (there is no difference between trial and full versions)

    You can also go to Select>Refine Edge if you have an active selection or layer mask targeted

  • Windows 8 Elements 11 Problem with DNG and CR2 files

    Have a Windows 8 machine with Elements 11 which has Camera Raw 7.4 installed and showing correctly in the editor. The Browser shows thumbnails of the DNG and CR2 files, but when an attempt is made to edit them, the editor opens but does not open the file. Same thing happens if I try to open the file using the File Open from the menu.
    Also I have been through the help and forums and found an article about opening jpeg files as Camera Raw files (http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/open-jpeg-files-in-adobe-camera-raw-in-photoshop-element s/) and this does not work either.
    Help please !

    Disclaimer:  The following applies to WINDOWS EXPLORER.  I don't use Bridge so I don't know if it's applicable at all to Bridge.
    Adobe does not provide a codec for viewing Canon raw files as thumbnails.  Canon has one for free but it only works on a 32 bit Windows system.
    Early this year I found a free download for displaying raw file thumbnails that works on an x64 Windows system.  Since that time the author realized there's a real demand for this software and has started charging for it.  In any case, I find it works very well.

  • Accessing parent window form elements from a JSP file

    Actually I have a JSP page . It calls a popup function to load another JSP file on the event Onclick of a label. In the JSP file loaded on the popup window, I need to access the form elements of the parent.
    Eg: the Parent has a Textarea named "ta_1" in the form "appl_1".
    Now i cannot access this element in the child JSP page using,
    window.opener.document.ta_1.appl_1.value;
    The window.opener is not defined for this HTML page cos the HTML page was generated as an output of the JSP file.
    Please give a JSP code snippet which accesses the parent form element..

  • I have windows 8, elements 10 unable to install actions

    , i have open the hidden files in windows 8    C\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop elements\10\locale\en-us\workflowpanels\actions  where is this path in elements 10
    Message was edited by: rosemarie ann

    You can also enable showing of the hidden folders in your folder options.
    If your on the desktop (not start screen) hover the mouse in the lower lefthand corner of the screen, then a Start menu pops ups. (in the area where the windows start button used to be)
    Right click and choose Control Panel from the list and click on Appearance and Personalization and then click on
    Show Hidden Files and Folders under folder Options.
    Now you should be able to see the Program Data files.

  • I purchased a windows based ELEMENTS but meant to purchase a MAC based version. Can you help?

    Can anyone direct me an easy way to exchange or cancel my order Elements order?
    My credit card has not yet been processed nor  have I downloaded the product cuz I  mistakenly ordered a windows version instead of a mac version
    Thanks

    One last thing, Bob. Trying to maneuver the Adobe support site is very difficult. I often wonder about the geniuses that design these sites. I do not think they have ever used it.  If so, they might better understand the old adage: more really is less. Perhaps it's me.

  • Windows Photoshop Elements to Mac Version

    I bought Photoshop Elements for a Windows based laptop, but I've recently bought a Mac and want to transfer my purchase my to my Mac. However my serial number does not work. Am I able to transfer a purchase from Windows to Mac? Thanks in advance for you help.

    That was assuming you mean PSE 12. If not, then just go buy it someplace, since adobe only sends the current version in a crossgrade and they would charge you their upgrade fee, which is usually more than the price at online retailers and big box stores.

  • Migrating from Windows Photoshop Elements 5.0 to iProto 06

    Hi,
    I currently have all the family photos on a windoze machine with Photoshop elements 5.0 and i'd like to move over to using iPhoto.
    What's the best way of importing them into iPhoto?
    Is it just a case of pointing iPhoto at a particular directory and saying "here you are"?
    Given that I've grouped and annotated a fair number of photos in elements, will i also lose that info as well?
    Thx
    alex

    No, wait! Don't move those files if you have them in the Organizer. First use the Write Tags to Files command on them. That will put the tags in as metadata keywords. iPhoto uses a proprietary keyword system, but if you google around you can find scripts to make iphoto keywords from metadata keywords.
    If you've already been jiggering around moving those files in windows outside of the organizer, though, you're toast, since the organizer will no longer know where the photos are. You'll have to reconnect each one individually, and frankly it would be just as easy to start your tagging all over in iphoto (which gets equally irked if you mess with your library outside the program). Note that you can't write tags to Raw files in PE.

  • Converting Video Files For Windows Premiere Elements Editing

    A client has given me a couple of dozen videotapes, about half MiniDV and the other half VHS-C. He's also given me a 1TB external hard drive.
    He would like the drive returned with a single unedited video file for each tape loaded onto it. He will then edit these tapes in Adobe Premiere Elements on a Windows PC, and ultimately burn DVDs.
    I have the necessary equipment to capture the contents of all of these tapes into FCP, but I have two questions.
    First, what should I convert these files to? I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those, and storage space shouldn't be a problem; all the footage is SD, of course.
    Second, I haven't connected the drive he's given me yet; if I need to format this drive for my MacPro to use, will my customer then have problems accessing the video files? Or, is there a proper way for me to format this drive so that the files will be readable when he gets it back?
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    It's never a good idea to capture on a different NLE than the one which will be used for editing. It can cause all sorts of compatibility problems. There are even issues going between FCP and iMovie -both Mac applications.
    I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those,
    Are you *absolutely sure* about that, given that a PC based NLE typically works with avi files?
    As to your disc formatting questions, you can download the [NTFS-3G driver|http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com> which will let you read, write and even reformat the drive as NTFS on the Mac. All reasonably modern PCs work with this disc format and you won't run into the file size limitations associated with FAT formatted drives.

  • How do I migrate my Windows Photoshop Elements 12 to iPhoto?

    I am switching to a Macbook Pro and want to move my photos that are stored with Photoshop Elements 12 on a Windows Laptop.  I want to use iPhoto rather than Photoshop Elements for Mac.  How do you do this and preserve all the tag information?

    Basically that is a question for Adobe - How do you get the "tag" information in PSE 12 recorded in standard EXIF or IPTC fields so other standard photo programs can access it
    When you import photos into iPhoto a bit for bit copy is made and the info in the standard EXIF and IPTC fields is available for use

  • I have Adobe Windows Photoshop Elements 7. Can I install somehow on my new Apple iMac?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 (Windows). Can I use that somehow in the Mac platform? I t was rather expensive and I no longer have any paperwork.If it is unsble to be converted, is there a free or reasonable alternative? Thanks in advance.

    Only by either installing Windows on your iMac as a separate partition through Bootcamp, or setting up a virtual Windows machine via the likes of VMWare Fusion, or Parallels Virtual or Desktop.
    Factor in the cost of Windows and I think you'll find a new copoy of Mac Photoshop Elements would be cheaper.
    You could also try the excellent Graphic Converter from lemkesoft, or the open-source Gimp,

  • Windows 7 Elements 1.0 has brush dynamic Stylus option greyed out

    I use photoshop elements 1.0 on a windows 7 laptop with a wacom CTE-430. When I check brush dynamics, the Stylus option is greyed out so I cannot use pressure sensitivity to adjust the brush size. The option works fine on my desktop with Windows XP, so I can't figure out what I need to do to fix it.

    Well, I"m sure that Adobe would say that PSE-1 (?) is incompatible with Windows 7, but what do they know?
    I would hit Wacom's site to see if they have an updated driver for your tablet, compatible with Windows 7.
    You can also investigate running PSE in compatibility mode for XP SP-2.
