Photoshop Elements :: 10 / 12 - Catalog Backup And Restore Deleted Data

Mar 7, 2014

I purchased a new computer today and also purchased PSE 12 (I had PSE 10 running on a different machine/laptop).  On the laptop/PSE 10, I had about 20,000 digital on an external drive (all were tagged according to color, theme, etc via the PSE organizer).  All of the elements were stored on the external drive under a folder called "digital kits".  I used the PSE 10 backup utility to backup my catalog to ease the move to my new machine.  After I performed the backup, I renamed the "digital kits" folder to "digital kits-glw" because I intended to just move the external hard drive to the new computer and restore the catalog to the same path, “E:digital kits”, as I have other software that is dependent upon that path. 

The restore went pretty quickly, and I can see the correct folder structure within PSE 12 Organizer, but all I have is a bunch of blank thumbnails.  Upon closer inspection, the restore did NOT recreate the E:digital kits folder on the hard drive as I expected.  Worse, the E:digital kits-glw folder is virtually empty (just a handful of thumb.db files).  So, it appears the backup process deleted/hijacked all of my files.  (Note:  I did NOT verify the contents of the digital kits folder before I renamed it.)  Tech support is closed until Monday, and I’m just sick over the possibility of losing all that data, so I’m turning to you all.(I have a backup of the data, but without the catalog piece I would have to re-catalog all 20,000 elements!)

Lightroom :: Restore Deleted Folder

Sep 26, 2013

I deleted a folder in the library mode and now I need this folder to be back. I tried to import the hole folder again, but Lightroom didn't show me the images like there weren't any images. I think, that I didn't actually deleted the folder and that the pictures are still in the catalog. And I don't have a back up for this catalog.

Lightroom :: 3 - Restore A Deleted Folder From HD?

Nov 18, 2012

When I first began using LR I don't think I understood the navigation correctly, because for one project, back in June, I created a folder and moved favorites (flagged and 5-starred) from other folders into that one. What I didn't realize until 5 minutes ago is that it actually moves those files on your HD as well! The folder in LR has long since been deleted and for a heart-stopping 15 minutes or so I thought all my favorite photos were gone as well.
 
What I found, however, was the original project folder with all my favorites on my HD. So that's okay - problem is, now when I try to bring the folders back into LR, it treats them all as new, untreated photos. It doesn't recognize them. It doesn't recognize any adjustments I've made, either. Even in Finder when I open the photos, they're all totally untreated.
 
My question: is there a way I can get LR to recognize those photos again? Or am I going to have to go one by one and re-do all my adjustments, keywords, and folder placement?

Photoshop Elements :: Couldn't Restore File In Restore Catalog

Oct 8, 2012

I have a new computer and want to move the databse catalog over. I backed up in PSE 9 to an external hard drive. I connected to HD to the new computer and tried a resotre catalog. I chose "New Location" since I was going from XP to Windows 7 and was unsure if there would be a conflict with file locations. I also chose "Restore Original Floder Strucure". Very quickly I recieve an error message "Could not restor file .xml". I have run Restore Catalog several times and each time a DIFFERENT FILE receives the error message. I then disabled Norton Anti Virus Auto-Protect. I then disabled several programs running in the background. Same problem. I then copied the Backup Catalog to the new computer and tried to Restore it from there. Same Problem. I have now run a Repair Catalog on the original file. PSE states there is no error. I want to purchas PSE 11, but wanted to install/restore the database with the same version 9 first.

Lightroom :: Finding Images Removed From Catalog But Not Deleted From Disk

Apr 28, 2013

I know that I have on occasion gotten stupid and selected "Remove" after marking images as rejected, when I meant to select Delete From Disk.  I believe this means I have image files on my hard drive that no longer appear in the Lightroom catalog, but I don't want them at all.  I meant to move them to the trash bin, but, like I said, just hit the wrong button for some reason.
 
Is there any way I can search for images still in my folders on my hard drive (where I save them when imported in Lightroom) that no longer appear in my catalog? I'd like to clean up my hard drive before transfering images to a new computer.

Lightroom :: How To Restore Only Part Of Existing Catalog

Jul 29, 2013

I am working with lightroom 3 on a Mac with OSX 10.7.5 and time-machine for backup.Some weeks ago a partner-user accidentally changed some keywords. As a consequence a lot of pictures are now no longer findable because its keywords are missing.
 
Several weeks and modifications to the catalog have passed since this accident. If I restore the whole catalog back to the date of accident, all the changing will also be neutralized.

Lightroom :: Restore Photos And Catalog Together On New Computer?

Nov 2, 2013

I recently had a computer crash and want to migrate my photos and changes from my old hard drive into my newly installed Lightroom software on the new computer.  I recovered the old drive, and accessed it from my new computer.  I found the most recent Lightroom catalog and imported it.  Then I imported all of my photos into Lightroom.  The problem is that the catalog and the photos don't seem to be talking to each other.  In the catalog, the photos are there all bunched together, no folders separating by date.  In the photo folders that ARE separated by date, the original photos are there as they were first imported (RAW files), but don't have the develop changes that I made to them.  How can I get these two things to link up?

Lightroom :: Restore Catalog After Clean Install

Dec 20, 2013

I need to do a clean install of Windows 7.
 
I've moved my photos from my desktop to an external drive.
 
I've pointed LR to the new external location so my .cat and .dat files are up-to-date.
 
I've made a copy of the LR folder (from C:/My Pictures) that holds my .cat and .dat files and also put it on my external drive
 
What's the procedure for making sure my new LR installation points to the latest catalog once I've done the clean install?
 
And can I reset LR to store .cat and .dat files on the external drive going forward?

Lightroom :: How To Remove Files Copied To Second Drive On Import That Were Later Deleted From Catalog

May 27, 2013

If I do an import from my memory card, choose my external hard drive as a second location for the import, and then go into my catalog and delete the bad photos, is there any quick way to also remove those files from the backup on the external hard drive? I've got a ton of wasted space on my external HD due to things that I've deleted and don't know of any simple way to get rid of them short of formatting the drive and doing another export, which takes a long time and isn't something I want to do all that often.

Lightroom :: How To Restore Catalog On External Hard Drive

Dec 26, 2012

I am trying to restore my lightroom catalog on an external hard drive to my new computer that has lightroom 4 installed and all my original photos loaded.  Whenever I click on the lrcat file I get a message that reads"Lightroom cannot use the catalog named "Lightroom 3 Catalog" because it is not writable and cannot be opened."  Below that it says "This could be caused by incorrect permissions or because another Lightroom application is using the catalog.  You may try to correct the problem or you may select a different catalog".  I don't know what to do.

Photoshop Elements :: Restore Deleted Graphics / Effects Option?

Jun 1, 2013

I have accidentally deleted a frame option from graphics selections.  I thought I was only removing it from the photo I was working with.  No warning came up when I did this.  I tried resetting the panel, but that did not work.  I also could not find it in recent edits.  Is there any way it can be retrieved and restored to the panel?  It is one of a very few I might want to use in the future.

Photoshop Elements :: Remove Deleted Folders From Catalog?

Dec 22, 2012

PSE users have posted questions about removing deleted folders from the PSE catalog since version 5 or 6. Back in 2009, the recommendation was to delete only in PSE. However, I manage my folders, backups, and archives in Windows, because I prefer the interface and use other tools. This causes me to have many grayed-out folders in the PSE catalog. As each new version comes out, I hope this will get fixed, with no luck so far. Are there any new features in version 11 that make this possible? Is there any hope that a future versions will allow the user to clean up the catalog, or synchronize automatically to the real folder structure?

Photoshop Elements :: How To Restore Old Catalog To New PSE

Nov 23, 2013

I've used PSE 6 before, but it doesn't work anymore in Win8, so I'm thinking of updating to PSE12.
 
To be honest, I don't know where is my old catalog located, but I think it is in the same folder as photos. At least I see "my catalog.psa" files in there. But when I' try to restore them to trial version of PSE12, it only accepts *.tly files. My files are .psa.
 
How I can restore my catalogs? Because if I can't, there's no point to buy Adobe product at all, because I have to create everything (thousands of photos) from scratch. So I can do that with Adobe product or with any other software, even with free ones.

I am trying to restore a catalog in pse organizer.  I get an error message saying that I should contact the disc drive manufacturer for the latest firmware before trying again.  There is nothing wrong with the disc drive - it works perfectly with every other application.  I open the disc drive in the control panel and can see the files I need are there.  I have tried copying the files to my hard drive, removed the cd, and tried to restore via the hard drive option and still get the same error message.

Photoshop Elements :: How To Backup And Restore The Catalog

Apr 8, 2013

I just got Elements 11 (Windows 8) this week end, and I have a few questions about the Catalogue in the Organizer.
 
I spent a few hours tagging people, organizing categories, and so on. After that, I did a backup of the catalogue, which from my understanding includes every pictures.
 
However, does a backup of the "Pictures" folder manually every month. My question is, are the people and tags I added in the Organizer embedded in the pictures, or do I really need to backup and restore the catalog to keep everything I have tagged? If I reinstall Elements 11 and add the pictures manually as I would the first time, will all the info still be there?

Photoshop Elements :: How To Restore A Catalog - File Can't Be Found

Nov 6, 2012

I need to restore a catalog. All of the info I have found eventually leads to the statement "Restore a catalog to a previously saved version".

Using the hyperlink in this paragraph is a dead end and yeilds a message "The file can't be found". I desperately need my .tly file restored. I do have Norton Ghost image backups but they don't do much good. I think the problem was generated when I removed PSE ver 11.
