Windows Elements to Mac Lightroom

I'm switching from Elements on a Windows PC to Lightroom on a Mac Pro. Is there a way I can import my Elements library so that I don't lose tags, captions and whatever other things I've saved with the images there? Or am I only able to import the images themselves to LR? If I have to do the later, what do I lose?
TIA, Kelly

Perhaps off topic, in which case I apologize, however, I'm struggling with the exact same scenario. I have ca. 11,000 images in a Windows Elements 3 catalog. It's a great product, I love it, but I'm moving to a Mac.
From what I can tell, Mac Elements prior to the new 6.0 release did not support the organizer feature. But, from the marketing info it appears the new Elements 6.0 for the Mac does support the organizer. Can anyone verify or refute my understanding.
So, my question is which makes more sense as far as moving to the Mac:
1. use elements 6.0 for the mac?
2. run windows elements under a virtualization product (e.g., parallels) on my Mac.
3. convert to Lightroom for the mac.
4. convert to Apeture? (fwiw, have tried this with limited success.)
5. convert to iPhoto? (seems too lightweight and loses data.)
6. something else.
I'd love to hear other's thoughts on this. I definitely do not want to lose the tagging, collections, date adjustments, and captions in a move.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Convert from windows elements to Mac

    If buy a Mac, can the files created in windows for elements be converted to the Mac?

    Yes, and if you use organizer, your catalog can be converted to the mac version if you have at least PSE 9 in windows. Do a full backup in windows to a removable drive, using the organizer's backup command, then restore to the mac. If you buy the boxed version of PSE 11, it includeds both mac and windows versions.

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

  • Export Catalog from PC Photoshop Elements 10 and Import Catalog to Mac Lightroom CC - How please?

    Hello
    I am running Photoshop Elements 10 on a Windows 7 PC and I want to move it to my Mac Lightroom CC / Photoshop CC.
    I understand I need to export the catalog from PSE 10 and then import it to Lightroom or Photoshop CC.
    I wonder if I could get some advice on how to do this?
    Many thanks

  • I bought the wrong version of Photoshop elements. I bought Windows, I need Mac.

    I purchased a download version of Windows Elements. I need MAC. How do I switch it?

    Have you got the serial number? That can be used on both Mac and Windows versions.
    All you need to do is download the Mac trial version from the Adobe website, install it and enter your serial number.

  • The Elements 12 Mac disk works fin - I also have a Dell, and the Windows disk will not run at all, sounds like it's grinding, and is almost impossible to remove from the hard drive.  I cannot find any place to tell me who to CALL to ask for a replacement!

    Hi Samcat,
    You can use a download instead of the disk as an alternative: Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe you can license with your serial
    Please test the disk in another windows machine to check if it's caused by the drive or the disk. If you tested with 2 drives please start a support case, i assume Adobe will only provide downloads at this point. They are the same as the trials. If you still need a disk you can burn the trial to a disk as a backup disk. Good luck!

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?

    Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?  Any issue installing these products on a new PC when I already have it installed on another PC?  I am getting a new PC to replace XP machine I already have.

    Yes, Photoshop runs on all editions of Windows 7 as far as I know.
    And the Photoshop EULA does give you the option to install and activate the software on a second machine.  Once you no longer need the XP system, assuming it's still functional, just deactivate the Adobe software on it and you'll be able to have the same flexibility again in the future.
    If ever you have a licensing agreement question, all the EULAs are online here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
    A side note:  Windows Home Premium may do all you need for now, but keep in mind there is a Windows Anytime Upgrade you can buy in the future that will allow you to move up to a higher edition of Windows 7 later if you should feel you need more features.
    This page has some information on that, and also describes the edition differences pretty thoroughly.  I especially like the nice table they've built:

    Can I run my Photoshop elements 4.0 for windows in my mac? Thanks.

    No way. Older versions of PSE were platform specific. You need to upgrade to PSE 11.

  • Can I upgrade My elements from windows to a mac version

    I've a Photoshop Elements 7. But recently I've bought a MacBook. Is it possible to buy an upgrade so I can use my elements for windows on my mac?

    The iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1. If WhatsApp requires a higher version of the iOS, you can not download it.

  • Photoshop element 9 Mac englisch Windows 8.1

    I Have Photoshop elements 9 (Mac englisch) but my Mac crasht now i have an laptop with Windows 8.1 can i change it so my Photoshop is availible for my laptop?

    Usually not unless you bought the boxed version originally. If you did, you can download the windows version here:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    But otherwise, downloads usually have serial numbers that work only one platform, so you'd need to buy a new version or the upgrade version, whichever is a better deal where you are.

    Just download the Trial version and activate that with your serial number when you install.
