I still have the catalog on a backup disk and have just installed and updated to LR 4.4. What is the best way to merge the V3 catalog with V4 and are there any things I should expect or look out for?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy laptop recently died before I was unable to do a backup of the PSE 9 catalog. I thought I was covered, however, since I do regular backups of my total system. In reviewing the backup data though, I discovered that I had copies of all of my pictures -- but the backup tool that I was using was NOT copying the PSE catalog file. Bottom line, I'm now missing probably 15+ years of catalog information......
Someone has told me that they believe they can pull some information off the damaged disk of the old PC. If this is possible, what file(s) should I ask them to try and recover -- and where would it likely be located?

I recently purchased photoship 12 after the free trial. I downloaded 4201 photos from a trip oversease. I organized all the photos by date and location. I then created a slide show. This morning I was tring to locate my slide show to view. I found a slide show in projetcs but is was not the photo's I created in my slide show and it had duplicates of same photo's. I am new to this program don't know what went wrong.
I watched a tutorial and then tried to creat a catalog to isolate all the photo's...wrong thing to do. NOW I SEEMED TO HAVE LOST ALL MY PHOTOS AND SLIDE SHOW
QUESTION: How do I get back to my starting point and retrieve all my photo's and slide show? What a pain!!!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy 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?
Having tried to install PSE12 for several times without success ( problem to establish connection with other tools), I got now an error message "specified path empty" generated by the deinstallation process. It's strange that the deinstallation process is launched because the installation always failed so far (I can't find any trace of the installation in Windows 7). Please note that I've also launched the Adobe Support tool which confirmed that everything is ok concerning the PSE12 installation prerequisits.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I usually work with corel, I export my files in .png when I finished working so that I can use them in Power Point or whatever. It was never a problem and still works with most of my files, but I have now one file that simply doesn't want to be converted.
I export it like usual (--> export --> .png) but than in the preview it shows me nothing but an empty bar-like part of the file, so basically nothing. The .png file that is created it empty.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm a web developer currently slicing an illustrator file for web graphics. Some of the icons and images have shadows, lights, etc, and it's impossible to simply see by a naked eye which pixels contains some shade or nearly transparent color and which doesn't.
It would be extremely useful if I could somehow easily differentiate between empty and non-empty pixels, so I wouldn't miss any when slicing.
All of a sudden, Lightroom 3.6 won't create a new catalog for me. It worked for years but stopped working for no reason I can figure. I fill in the new catalog name in the dialog, click Save, then Lighroom restarts but tells me it can't find the new catalog name I just created. When I look in Explorer, I see that the folder has been created, but the catalog files were not.
Also, Lightroom didn't remember the last catalog opened when it starts. To test this, I located and opened a previous catalog, made some changes and quit Lightroom. When I restarted, it did not recall the previous catalog, but opened a much older one. I went to Edit->Preferences and changed the "open" setting to "Prompt me" (for a catalog name on open) but that didn't stick either.
I purchased Lightroom 4.2 about 3 weeks ago and its been operating smoothly. As of a week ago I am no longer able to create a new catalog. When I first installed this program I was able to create new catalogs just fine, then suddenly I could not anymore. I click "file", "new catalog" then I select a new folder in which to create the catalog, but the button that says "create" is greyed out and unclickable.
I'm using a mid 2010 Mac Air (OSX 10.7.5) and Lightroom 4.2. All my catalogs are stored on a 1.5 TB external hard drive, so now I can't even use Lightroom unless I'm connected to this hard drive (since I can't create a new catalog I have to select an existing catalog to start the program, all of which are housed on the external hard drive.)
How do I transfer the entire organizer of Elements 9 to the empty organizer in Elements 12? By the way, Elements 9 is so defective, it will not even let me back up my organizer in 9. The 9 organizer would let me select a photo, bring it into the editor, print it and then it would crash... then I had to start all over again... the darn thing crashes as it was prone to problems that adobe ignored. Is it better to just re-load all the photos from a fresh folder that is on my desktop? There are 5,000 !
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently converted all of my pictures to a new format. I want to make a new catalog, identical to the old one, with the new pictures. I imported everything, but I don't know what to do about collections and smugmug folders. I still have the old catalog, and all of the old pictures. But I need to reupload all of the new pictures to my smugmug site, same as before. So, I need to recreate every collection and add the new pictures like they were before. Is there a faster way to do this? Can I use my old catalog to somehow recreate the collections? I still have the old catalog, and all of the old pictures. All of the filenames of new and old pictures are identical. I also have a few collections that I would prefer not to manually recreate.
