Photoshop Elements :: Upgrading And Moving A Catalog?
Feb 3, 2014
I have Photoshop Elements 11 on my old computer with a catalog with many tags. I bought a new machine and loaded Photoshop Elements 12. I then backed up my Elements 11 catalog using Full backup. Then went to new machine and restored. All my pictures transferred and file structure was as expected. But only some, seemingly random, tags came through. Also many edited pics are now showing as two or more separate files and not as versions. None of my albums were restored.

I recently bought a new computer and with I ordered photoshop cs2. This would be an upgrade from elements for me. My question is can you move the catalog from elements with all the tags etc. and put it into photoshop cs2 with adobe bridge. I need to know because I plan to reformat my old computer before photoshop arrives and if I should back it up.

I am upgrading from Photoshop Elements 9 to version 12 and loading it onto a new computer running Windows 8.2. To move the Organizer Catalog I have tried several time to create a backup on an external hard drive from version 9 so i can restore it on the new computer with the upgraded software. Each time i run the backup the process stops and displays an error message "Error encountered while writing files". This occurs when the process is approximately 75% complete. There are 12,326 items in the catalog, the estimated "media size" needed it 142,891.30 MB, i have 339 GB of free space on the external hard drive.

I backed up my Picture folder and backed up my catalog with 29,000 pics (took 5 hours) on an external HD. I reformatted my drive. I just reinstalled PS elements 9.0.when I restore my catalog and select original, my pictures will be put back in the my picture folder with all the same folders in tact.It is the same OS, win 7. Or, do i move my pictures back in and then restore the catalog?If i feel maybe my catalog was missing some of my pictures, can I install my pics to the same folder and if the same pics are there, it will say, file already exists..

I am using Google Drive to store my photos so they are automatically backed up and sync'd across multiple computers, as well as my phone.
I am buying a new primary computer and will need to transfer the catalog to the new computer. However, as I will be installing Google Drive on that computer as well, the photos will all sync down automatically. There is no need to have PE10 copy my flies from the old computer as part of the transfer process, as described here: [URL] ....
The way I see it, there are two scenarios:
I HAVE to use PE10 to make a back up of all the files in the catalog onto an external drive. I import the library on the new computer and either A) Google Drive recognizes that the files are all the same and doesn't waste time syncing the files or B) Google Drive replaces the 110 GB of files currently on the servers with the same files, then pushes those files down to all the devices that are synced.
or...
I can use Google Drive to push the photos onto my new computer, then the paths, tags, albums and other catalog information can be imported without PE10 worrying about the photo files themselves.

I have used Elements 8 for many years to organize my thousands of photos. I know where the catalog file lives on my laptop and it has an extension of .pse8db.
I would now like to use that same catalog file as I move to use Lightroom so that I don't lose all that data.
I believe that now it needs to be .lrcat.
What process do I need to follow in order to upgrade my catalog from Elements 8 to Lightroom?

I have a catalog of 13k+ photos that I'm trying to clean up. I'm using Elements 7, I have purchased Elements 11, and am planning to install it soon. Part of my photos are physically located on my hard drive, and part are on a network drive mapped as J:. Elements finds these photos on J: but I don't think that the Elements Catalog is aware that J: is a network drive/removable drive. It looks for them every time I open Elements, making the program very slow to start up.
Should I use the "move to removable drive" to move these photos? How will Elements treat these photos that have been sent to a removable disk? Will I still be able to see thumbnails of the photos and search through my tags for them? If I copy my photos to a new drive, but still call that drive J: will Elements be able to find them? And finally, if I perform this "move to removable disk" task, should I do it now with Elements 7 or update to Elements 11 first?

My Lr4 calalog has all my color labels but when upgrading that calalog to Lr5 - all color labels on images are stripped and I see the label default (Red - Delete, etc)
I went into the Roaming - Adobe - Lightroom folder and found "Label Sets" but I fear what is in there is the Lr5 stuff
Question: How can I get all my Lr5 catalog images to have the same color labels as my Lr4 catalog?

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?

I'm using PSE 12 on a Mac. When I try to edit psd projects created with PSE 10, the type tool freezes. It's so bad, I've had to go back and use PSE 10 to edit these projects. Is this is a bug that needs to be addressed in a future update? Had I known this, I would have NEVER purchased the upgrade to PSE 12. .

I'm trying to import the images from a CF card to Lightroom 4.3 however the only options available to me are Copy as DNG or Copy....Move and Add are dark grayed out and I cannot select them. I do notice when I go to the Import module, the Add selector is white for a few moments and then it goes to black.
I'm running:
MacBook Pro Mac OX 10.6.8
Trial version of LR 4.3.
CF card is coming as .NEF from a Nikon D800.
I have done this before, regularly, it seems that with this update it is not possible. I'm not interested in importing because HDD space is limited AND I don't use this computer for editing/file management. The imports go to a drive array in another location. I don't want to be to overly emphatic about this, but I'm not interested in importing to the HDD on the MacBook Pro.BTW, I have tested it and it does import just fine into the catalog to the HDD.
Below is a screen shot of my catalog import options. I've looked for ways to change the settings but even setting it to Copy back to the card itself does not allow me to Move or Add Without Moving. Only Copy in two different formats is available.

I recently purchased a new computer, and I need to transfer my existing Lightroom (3.6) catalog to the new machine. I have installed Lightroom on the new machine, and have updated it to the same version as on the old machine. All my images are on an external drive that I can move to the new computer.
Can I simply export the existing catalog, move the hard drive, and import the catalog into the new instance of Lightroom on the new computer? Obviously, I want to retain al the keywords, develop adjustments, etc., that I had in the original catalog.

Currently my Catalog and photos reside inside a directory c:/Current (path shortened for simpliicty!) and I want to move the whole lot to a new location on the same drive, c:/NewLoc.
I see many explanations of moving to other drives or machines but cannot find an explanation of a 'simple' move to another directory on the same drive!

I have a separate catalog of photos from a recent trip on my laptop (don't ask why I created a 2nd catalog - won't do that again). I want to transfer them to our desktop, which is a mac (the laptop is pc). Following instructions in a tim grey email, I used "export catalog" to transfer to an external hard drive, with intent to then import to the mac. I did check for it to export negative files. It took forever, but froze partway through the process. So I created a new folder to export into, and tried it again. It got much further that time but froze again. When I use lightroom to access the files that did transfer, I find the folders labelled as they are on the laptop, but when I open them, the application says, "no items match your search", although it does indicate there are i.e. 47 MG in the file. I can use picasa to view the files, both the jpeg's and the raw files, so they're in there.

I currently have my main catalog 'gwcat-2-2.lrcat' in what I think is the default directory of ":..D:UsersGeorgePicturesLightroom". I would like to move it to a faster drive. Should I move JUST the lrcat file, or is moving the gwcat-2-2 Previews.lrdata required?
There is a LOT of stuff in lrdata! and would take a long time to move. I've always been a bit confused by the difference between "Previews.lrdatafa" and the cache directory (I already have the cache directory on SSD). --If you go by just the definition of terms, it seems like a distinction without a difference.

I have a Mac Pro and just bought an iMac.
On my Mac Pro, the LR catalog is on the boot drive. The photos are on a separate internal drive.
My plan is to copy both the photos and the LR catalog to the 3 TB Fusion drive of the iMac.
Would I then just double-click on the catalog to open it, and use this process to "reconnect" the missing photo files?
