Photoshop Elements :: How To Maintain Configuration Of Current Catalog

Dec 18, 2013

While the Version Sets in my current catalog are collapsed, the version sets in the Catalog on the new computer have all become 'expanded'; this is unacceptable to me, as many of the pairs that are stacked as Version Sets have become separated.  While all of the Version Sets are "tagged", it looks as though many of the photos in the expanded sets are without tags.  Problem #2 is that the hierarchy of Keyword Tags that I currently use is lost when the Catalog is restored in the new computer's Organizer.  I currently use about 500 Keyword Tags, divided into 6 categories (i.e. People, Places, Locations, Events, Other, Bird Species).  On the new computer, the tags are alphabetized without being separated into their 6 categories.  I currently have close to 30,000 items in my Catalog, and have spent hundreds, perhaps thousands, of hours editing (and saving both the original and  edited files as  Version Sets), tagging and captioning all of my photos.  I followed the instructions previously published in "Photoshop Elements Help" regarding backup to an external hard drive and restoring the files in an empty Organizer on the new computer.  I also used the "Save Keyword Tags To File" command before the backup.  I do have the intact "current" Catalog on my old computer, complete with tags and captions, collapsed version sets, and a list of Keyword Tags organized in the Hierarchy that has worked best for me.

Photoshop Elements :: Merging Old Catalog Into Current One?

Oct 19, 2013

Each time the program saves a file & backs it up it appears to assign to each picture a unique number that isn't on your original picture. This must mean that each picture is somehow linked to the catalog file.  Is this correct?
 
If this is so does this unique number stay with that photo through every version of PSE? 
 
If this number stays unchanged (providing you haven't modified the photo) is the following possible?
 
I have found an earlier hard drive that has some partial & complete backups from earlier versions of PSE.  I know that some but not all pictures on these backups are duplicates of my current catalog & some aren't.  What would happen if I just tried to past the older backups into the newer catalog?  Would Windows 7 64, bit accept the data but warn you the some pictures are duplicates & allow you to just paste in the pictures that aren't?
 
Is there any better way to get these older pictures into the current catalog?

Lightroom :: How To Maintain User Presets In Sorting Data After Import Of Catalog

Aug 12, 2013

I have 2x user presets (one for each of 2x camera's), which I use to apply to images on Import.
 
When moving a catalog from my laptop (rMPB) to the desktop (iMac) (created of just one image folder), using the export / import catalog routine, these presets just list as "unavailable preset" in the Develop Status metadata sorting options in the library module.
 
I have exported these presets from the laptop and imported them to the desktop and then re- exported/imported the catalog but the results are the same. Is there a way for these presets to be recognized and sorted by correctly when importing a catalog?

Lightroom :: Cannot Open Current Catalog In 4.2

Dec 2, 2012

For the past 2 months, I have been working on images in LR 4.2. As of this morning, I am unable to open my LRCAT file. The error screen tells me the requested catalog is being used by another LR program. HUH? I have opened my Task Manager (windows 7) and nothing is running. I don't want to loose all the work on the images I have done up to this point.

Photoshop Elements :: 11 Catalog Not Showing Up In Catalog Manager

Oct 14, 2013

My latest battle with PSE11 is trying to access my catalog in PSE11 via the Catalog Manager but it doesn't show up in the list. 

The catalog is named My Catalog 2 is located at C:ProgramDataAdobeElements OrganizerCatalogsMy Catalog 2.  It is the only catalog I use and is the one that opens up when I launch Organizer.  But, for the life of me, I can't get it to show up in the Catalog Manager.  The only catalog that shows up is the original catalog which is at a different location and was created when I installed PSE11 on my new computer (Thinkpad W530, Windows 8).  I've tried the Custom Location option and browsing to the location, but still no dice.  This catalog has thousands of pictures and was converted from my previous PSE6 catalog.  How do I get the Catalog Manager to find my current active catalog?

Lightroom :: Elements Tags Into Keywords AND Maintain Structure?

Apr 26, 2012

I would like to move from using Elements to using Lightroom. Whilst I realise that I can import my catalogue and photos, which should also create all my keywords, I am concerned that the existing keywords/tags parent/child structure would be lost? They would be created as a single contiguous list?
 
How to go about moving the tags across whilst maintaining the original structure AND remaining associated with the correct photos?

Photoshop Elements :: Imported Pictures Are Not Showed In Current Path

Dec 26, 2012

i am using elements organizer 10 to organize my pictures, about 100.000.
 
All these pictures are in the location D:/pictures/privat pictures/2001/YYYYMMDD. Each year has a lot of folders oriented by date.
 
All this pictures are a second time at my backup drive Z:/backup pictures/private pictures/2001/................
 
After creating a new catalog and start importing all files from D: it takes time till all pictures are imported.
 
But then the failure happens if i click to any folder in D: i can not see any picture.
 
If i start import i.e. for one single folder again i get the message" pictures are already imported..."
 
If i click at  a bar in the timeline the pictures are shown and the path tree shows it at location Z....with the path name from D:
 
I created more catalogs the last time to find a solution.
 
I use Windows 7 ultimate

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Current View Align With Current Ucs?

Jul 20, 2013

how can i know if the current view/display is align with the current ucs?

let's say i have rotate the ucs about z axis 45 degrees and make it plan now i draw some things and then i change back to world

worlducs = 1

viewdir = 0,0,1

ucsxdir = 1,0,0

ucsydir = 0,1,0

but the display is still in the ucs z 45 (ucsfollow = 0) set the view to PLAN current (now the view is aligned) but the system vars does not change.

For a plan UCS, you would need to compare the VIEWDIR system variable and the cross product of the UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR system varaibles.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Check Current Plotter Name For Current Tab

Sep 3, 2013

Technique that can check the current plotter name for the current tab and assign it to a variable?  i.e. can it be assigned to a variable to check if if equals "myplotter1".  The next step  - is there a technique to change the plotter name to "myplotter2.pc3".

I have partially done the latter part of this in the past using the -plot command line to ASSIGN a  new plotter but I would really like to only run the routine if it really needs to.

I use different catalogs in my PSE10 for different purposes.The file name of the catalogs is always the same: catalog.pse10db.Ok, they are in different directories.
