Photoshop Elements :: Replace Catalog Using Win7 - 9
May 26, 2013
I have been haveing severe catalog issues for the last week after installing Windows 7.
I decided to insert my original HDD in my laptop, along with the new HDD and Windows 7. I then deleted the MY Pictures folder from the new HDD and copied the My Pictures folder from my old HDD to the new.
Since I felt my newly restored catalog file was corrupted, I wanted to copy the catalog file from my old HDD to the new one. I renamed the folder on my old drive by appending 'old' to the end of it, doing the same to the catalog .db file within the folder, then dragged the folder to the Program Data/Adobe/Elements Data/Catalogs folder.
I fired up PSE9 holding the Shift key to select the catalog that I was using on my old drive. It would not let me select the folder or find the catalog file in the folder. I tried creating a new catalog file, but the message "Catalog file with same name already exists in that folder".
I then just tried to point to the catalog file on my old drive, (btw, using 'custom' option in the catalog management window), and it still would not let me open the file. I say it won't let me open the catalog because, when I navigate to the folder with the catalog name, even single and double clicking on it, I don't get the 'Open' button on the Catalog Management window highlighted.
Is there something I am missing about catalog files? Do the have to be registered somehow within Elements before I can use them.
I have an old PC that I am getting rid of. It runs WinXP with Elements 8, and the Elements photo Catalog resides on an external HD. I want to move this catalog to a new PC running Win7 with Elements 10, and all photos will be stored on C:.
After upgrading to Lightroom 4.3 in Windows 7 64Bit I often get random problems during DNG developing. The first problem: LR during developing shows on image thumbnail the exclamation mark icon of "metadata conflict" warning (see attached screen snapshot). This problem occurs when an external program (i.e. PS) has modified the DNG file and LR Catalog is not synchronized. Of course no modification at all has been done externally by any software but LR itself! It seems a problem of DNG/catalog sync that in some cases fails (very disappointing). The second problem is the black exclamation mark (see again attached screen snapshot) that means problems during reading DNG!! This problem is absolutely random too. Developing is still possible on this files and usually the problem disappear ...
This problems don't affect proprietary RAW files (NEF from my Nikon D300s) and I've never seen them in Lightroom 4.2.
We have 11000+ plus photos all carefully cataloged in Photoshop Album 1.0 on my old Windows XP PC. Our new PC is Windows 7 Home Premium with Photoshop Elements 9. How do I import our existing catalog and continue sorting our new photos into our old 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 PSE10 on a Win7 (64bit) OS. When I delete a picture (from catalogue and harddrive) the PSE-Organizer tends to jump down several pictures (Haven't been able to determine a fixed number), so I have to go up again and browse through the same pics a couple of times.
I have a new computer and and a very old Photoshop Elements . I want to be able to manipulate colors etc and also be able to set up the printer to print multiple (eight on one page) copies of my scanned paintings on my epson printer. I want to buy a new Photoshop program, but have not idea what to even look at. I do not need anything fancy or expensive...just something that works similarly to my old Photoshop elements. How to replace my old program with a new one?
I erased an area of my image with the background eraser. My undo history can not replace it. Can I repair the image where I erased it so the erasure is not so noticeable?
I have a .jpg where I am trying to replace the background color. I choose a sage green in the replacement color picker, and it shows properly in the dialog box, but in the actual picture I get a dark gray instead of sage green. I checked Image>Mode and it is set to RGB color. How can I get the color I want?
I have photoshop 7 and I wish to remove unwanted objects from photos and replace them with the current background. I have tried to use the healing brush tool , and the cloning tool, but I do not have content aware. How can I replace unwanted elements in my photos with the current background using my version of photoshop. The welcome screen to my edition says it is possible?
i have a csv file that has 6 columns, PNEZD and a 6th column which is my notes..i type a star in the data collector after my code, make my note, and then find/replace after i export it and replace star with a column..that gives the desired 6th column in excel that my boss wants....problem is he also wants to see that next to the Full Description in Civil 3d 2012...i tried adding a Point File Format with a 6th Column, User Defined, String for type...named the column Notes...but if i go to edit the point there is no 6th column in the Tool Palette.
How to Move Photoshop 5 LE from dead XP to Win7? I moved the program files from the dead XP computer to a new Win7 notebook, but it will not run because there is not enough memory RAM. What does this mean?
I just bought a new computer. I've seen some mention about incompatability issues. The last thing I want to do is start deleting everything on my new machine. It has Premire elements 10 on it. I read something about a caps database. I have renamed it but still get the same corrupt DB error. What can I do to install my CS4 and not delete other files on my new machine?
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.
When I try to backup the catalog, it starts to calculate space; at 24% through the process photoshop appears to freeze and no further progress occurs. How can I get past this problem?
I have pse11 and i've lost the catalog with all my photos. I was in "manage" catalogs and somehow set up a new catalog. It contains no picshow do I restore?
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. And have have only one open at the same time.But could it be a problem in a specific constellation? So would it be wise to renamethe file names of the catalogs - like catalog_tim.pse10db ?
It stalls during the "Calculating Total Media Size" operation. All else seems OK. I am able to "Save Metadata to Files" and "Prepare Files". I'm running Windows 7 64bit w/ latest updates.
How do you transfer a PSE 3 catalogue form an XP computer to PSE 8 or 11 on a new 7-64bit computer. I have not installed PSE 8 or 11 on the new computer yet. I need to have the PSE 3 catalogue transfered complete with groups and collections to the new computer. Should I install PSE 3 on the new computer then transfer or should I install PSE 8 or 11. I'm told that you can't transfer PSE 3 to PSE 11, but will PSE 8 work?
This has been an intermittent problem. I can't open Elements 5.0. It hangs up when trying to load an old catalog. Is there a way to work around the issue. I only use PSE 5.0 for slide shows, all other work is done in the full version of Photoshop.
