I upgraded to Windows 8 from Vista, and my PSE 7 disappeared. I have loaded PSE 11 on my computer, and now I want to convert the original catalog for use in my current PSE version. However, I cannot find the catalog on my hard drive.
View 4 RepliesI have successfully carried out a trial back up of an Elements 6 2000 picture catalog from an XP based PC, using the Elements 6 full back-up process. This process is intended to be used eventually to transfer this and other catalogs onto a new Windows 8 PC installed with Elements 11.
However, in the interim I would also like to be able to access the picture files and the catalog data on the ehd from a Vista based laptop which also has Elements 6 installed. How to do this without carrying out a full restore process that would load all of the files onto my laptop's hard drive.
In transferring the picture files to the end I also seem to have lost the original file structure that was on my PC, as folders have been renamed numerically and are all held individually in the main folder of the end. Whilst this doesn't matter too much whilst the files remain on the end, provided the catalog still know
I'm on a MacBook Pro retina.
While I have a 500 Gb hard drive, I notice that the Bridge CS 6 cache is getting larger quickly (looking forward to 1 Terabyte SSDs).
I have most of my images on external hard drives, but Bridge CS6's cache seems to be on my computer.
Can I store the Bridge cache locally?
So, if I have 1000 images on hard drive A, the cache for them would be on hard drive A.
And for 100 TIFFS on hard drive B, the cache would be on hard drive B.
And for the 100 most recent TIFFs I keep on my computer's hard drive, the Bridge cache would be on my computer.
It this what checking the box next to "Automatically Export Caches To Folders When Possible" does or am I misunderstanding this - and this option only puts COPY of the cache files on the external hard drive, but the Bridge cache file on my computer still contains all the images, not matter on which hard drive they'd be?
My laptop died. I have photos in LR that I didn't export. I have the hard drive from the crashed laptop connected to another computer. Where are the photos located in that hard drive?

View 10 Replies View RelatedEver since I have updated to LR4 with the Cloud I can not access previously saved lightroom catalogs from my back up hard drive. I can see the images but I can not edit them. Lightroom says the files are missing or offline. I have never had this problem before I started using the Cloud.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSomehow I ended up with three catalogs in LR 4 -- Catalog.lrcat, Catalog-2.lrcat and Catalog-3.lrcat. My original catalog in LR3 was Catalog.lrcat. When I upgraded to LR4, Catalog-2.lrcat was created, and this is the catalog that I use. I'm not sure how Catalog-3 was created, but all of the images are grayed out and have question marks on them.
I would like to free up some space on my hard drive by getting rid of -- deleting -- Catalog (104MB) and Catalog-3 (103MB). Is this not recommended? And exactly how do I go about deleting a catalog?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have seen that there are multiple threads on this subject, and the reasons given for not allowing it were performance and to avoid several concurrent instances of lightroom opening the same catalog.
However, the network drive solution is virtually the only possible solution when lightroom is installed in a virtual machine. Indeed, you don't support linux, and lightroom users who prefer linux install lightroom on virtual machines. Sharing a folder between the linux host and the windows guest is usually done by exposing it as a network drive to the windows guest. (There are many issues with external USB drives and virtualbox).
Hence, allow for catalogs to be opened on network drives.
This is a problem that has gotten progressively worse recently. I can still download photos from my camera to the hard drive using Elements 5, but I can no longer import more than about 5 photos at a time from the hard drive to the Organizer. My computer is a Dell 8300 purchased in 2004, with a Pentium 4 processor, 500 GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM,Windows XP, and Norton AntiVirus. I have about 265 GB of photos on a 350 GB partition (G: drive) of the hard drive. The other partition (C: drive) has about 50 GB of free space.
I've tried many fixes, including using CCleaner and Microsoft Disk Cleaner to remove unnecessary files and fix Registry problems; turning off and repowering the entire system; using Nikon Transfer to download the photos, instead of Photoshop; using Startup Inspector to remove unnecessary startup programs, as well as turning off all other software.
I get two different messages, at different times, from Elements when the process freezes:
1. "The ODBC data source reported the following error: "Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid argument."
2. "The ODBC data source reported the following error: [Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." (I'm not on a network.)
I also sometimes get another message from Norton: "High CPU usage by AOL", even when AOL is shut down.
The "pictures" section of my hard drive is a total mess! I am not sure why. None of my pictures are in folders. I would like to put them in some kind of organization. I am trying to get rid of pictures that I do not want to clear room on my hard drive. I deleted over 200 pictures in elements and happened to notice THAT I DID NOT CHECK THE SMALL BOX WITH THE SMALL LETTERS THAT SAYS" do you want to remove the picture from the hard drive? ugg. So all the work in vain. So I thought while I was going through the pictures on the hard drive I could at least organize them somewhat so they are at least in folders with say years or vacations etc. If I do this will elements be able to find the pictures and reconnect if I move them and they are in folders?
I would also really like to know if there is an easy way to find the pictures on the hard drive that I have deleted in elements so I can delete them also.
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..

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Elements 5.0 loaded on a hard drive which will no longer boot. I have a new hard drive and can access the old drive as an extra internal hard drive. I cannot use Photoshop, so I was thinking I need to deactivate the copy loaded on the old hard drive and reload it on the new hard drive. If so, how do I deactivate? When I start up the editor, it does not have an option for deactivating as I read about in another post. Under the help menu, there is a grayed out option for Registration. After a few seconds, a window appears saying there is a problem with my serial number and the application closes. Also, I would like to load Photoshop on a laptop later, so I do not want to waste one of my allowable loads.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently took a number of photos, which I then put onto my hard-drive in a temporary folder - so I could view them on the monitor using the ordinary windows viewer. A day or so later, I went into Photoshop Elements 11 and imported them into the catalog. I thought that by doing so I would copy them from the temporary folder into the "main" folder - the one where all the photos are imported to when I import them from the camera's memory card. So I then deleted the temporary folder. And then I found that the photos were not actually in the main folder after all. They had remained in the temporary folder, despite being added to the catalog (and where now deleted).
Is there a way to make PSE 11 move or copy the photos from a folder on the hard drive to the "main" folder?

I recently had my hard drive begin failing and had a new drive installed. I am trying to find out how to download PSE8 onto my new drive.
