Photoshop Elements :: Unable To Convert Most Recent Catalog On Each Drive?

Dec 8, 2013

My PC has three drives

C for the programs, D for the photos and F for the backup photos

With the upgrade to Elements 12, C is nearly maxed out

Except for "C" there are multiple catalogs on each drive, C should have none
 
I do not see an ability to convert the most recent catalog on each drive?

When a catalog is converted - does it reside on the same drive as the catalog?

If a catalog ends up on the wrong drive, for example C - can I just move/drag it to another drive?

Your catalogs end up under something called "breeze data" and are very diffcult to find, why are they called this? 

This conversion appears to have placed the converted photographs in 'C", is that possible, since they were not there at the start?

When I tried a conversion earlier this evening, it only did the most recent photographs I had accessed, how do I ensure it gets them all?

Since it did a partial conversion, will the rest of the conversion land in the same catalogue or in a completely new one?

When a file is converted, and I return to the drive, how will the icon be changed so that I know it has been converted?
 
For the previous elements 10, can I just drag it from Drive C to D (that way I can still use it with the pictures I have not converted), and have it still operate or must it reside in a program files folder?

As I type this I wonder if I might not be better off with just leaving the photographs as they are on 10 and starting afresh on elements 12

Lightroom :: External Lacie Drive Crashed / Can't Find Recent Backup For LR3 Catalog

May 3, 2013

I have LR3 on a Mac running OS 10.6.8.  My catalog, cache and images were stored on an external Lacie 1TB drive (partitioned so it can be used by a pc and mac).  My catalog backup files were saved on another external drive MXTR as well as copies of all my images.  The Lacie had started self ejecting while running LR3 and I thought it was maybe a problem with the cable, as it would work fine after rebooting.  Yesterday it crashed LR3 and never remounted.  I used Disk Utility to try and repair the disk and it instructed me to erase the disk and start over.  I was not worried, since my catalog was backed up to another drive. .  Another 2 hours to copy my images from the MXTR to the Lacie (again the drive never self ejected during this time either).  So now I go to find my most recent backup catalog.  The most recent one I could find was dated 2/09/2012.  I am baffled.  What happened all those times I was backing up?  I upgraded to LR3 in 2011, and I don't remember ever telling it to backup to another folder or drive.

Lightroom :: Previews Missing At Catalog And Drive Level - Unable To Use Filters

Apr 15, 2012

Using LR4 (not 4.1) and Win7 Home Premium. Catalog had been upgraded from LR3 and  LR4 catalog was working fine until now. I've been using LR since the beginning.Two problems, probably related.  106K photos over two drives, almost 3Tb.
 
At the catalog level, there are no previews.  Normally previews of all 106K photos would be displayed. Message is "Click the "import" button to begin."  Filter function does not work Message:  "No photos match the filter".At the drive level, there are no previews.  Message is "No photos in selected folder" Filter function does not work Message:  "No photos match the filter". At the folder level, everything is fine, except two folders give the same message "No photos in selected folder"  Filter function does not work in these two folders: Message:  "No photos match the filter"  14K photos between the two bad folders. Dozens, hundreds, of other folders and subfolders are fine. Filter function works fine at folder and subfolder level. Collections are fine, including photos in the two folders giving the mesage "No photos in selected folder"
 
Tried to import the missing folders.  Won't import because they're already in the catalog.  Won't import even if I uncheck "Don't import suspected duplicates". Exported as a catalog one of the "No photos in selected folder" folders.  It appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc.  I edited a few photos with no problems.  Although it did give a message saying several hundred previews were missing.  But they seem to be there anyway.Deleted the folder from the catalog and imported from catalog the working folder catalog that I just created. Exported as a catalog  the other "No photos in selected folder" folder.  Same result as the first bad folder.  I.e. It appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc.  Although it did give a message saying several hundred previews were missing.  But they seem to be there anyway. Haven't done anything with this second folder catalog.  Intriguing, the same message about missing previews. The actual files and *.xmp files are in the bad folders.

Lightroom :: Unable To Eject External Hard Drive Containing Catalog Despite All Programs Being Closed

I want to eject my external hard drive from my laptop. I have my "master catalog" stored on their due to small internal hard drive. When I close all programs and I try to eject drive it says that a program is still using it.

Photoshop Elements :: Moving Part Of Catalog To Network Drive

May 8, 2013

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?

Lightroom :: Developer To Import A Clients Catalog From Photoshop Elements On An External Hard Drive

Dec 10, 2012

It seems that a powerful tool like Lightroom (on top of a powerful Adobe suite) should allow a developer to import a client's catalog from Photoshop Elements on an external hard drive. Everything I've read in the support and forums indicate I need to have Photoshop Elements installed on my own machine, and that reading off a network drive is not possible.

Photoshop Elements :: 11 - Unable To Backup Catalog To DVD?

Jan 7, 2013

I am unable to back up my catalog to DVD.
 
Going through the process PSE11 tells me I will need 16 DVDs. After the first one or two (sometimes three) I receive an error message, asking to update the firmware of my DVD burner. I have the latest firmware installed, and do not have any issues burning multiple DVDs with other software (Nero; Version 12). I have tried Fuji as well as TDK media and tried burning @ 8x (My drive and the media are both rated @ 16x). I have also tried turning off Media analysis. As a last resort, I uninstalled and re-installed PSE11. All with no success.
 
I am able to back up this catalogue to an external hard drive as well as an internal hard drive, but want to back up to a more stable media (DVD).
 
Win 7 (64-bit) with all updates and all drivers are the latest versions.

Lightroom :: Copying Recent Images To A Hard Drive

Feb 29, 2012

In the Smart Collections, there is an entry for "Last 30 Days".Those images are scattered all over my hard drives now.I'd like to back up the "recent images" to a specific external hard drive, at least until I get them copied onto the off premise external hard drives.
 
I need a command in LR3 that lets me make a COPY of the recent raw files onto the drive, vs move the images to folders.

Lightroom :: Merge External Drive Images To Desktop Drive Within Same Master Catalog?

Aug 18, 2013

I have about 900 raw files on an external drive. I edited those files using my master catalog using a laptop while still travelling. When I got home, I copied the master catalog from the external drive to the desk top, then opened the master catalog on my desktop. I can see the edited images on the external drive. So far so good.
 
I want to copy (add) the edited images to my desk top. I tried to export the images as a new catalog and then import it into the desire location on my desktop drive. However, LR5 does not allow that. I get this message: "There is nothing new in the catalog you have selected. All of the catalog's photos are up to date in this catalog." Yes, but the edited  images are not on my desktop.....
 
I also tried to Import from the external drive and then Copy the files to the desktop, but then I lose all of the work done in the develop module and the keywords.
 
I watched Kost's LR 3 video on merging catalogs, but she dodges the question of how to deal with this issue since the "merge" is within the same catalog.I'm using LR5 with Windows 7.

Photoshop :: Recent Corel Photopaint Convert

Jan 14, 2006

I am just learning photoshop after years of using Corel Photopaint. Over the years I tried Adobe but just got turned off because I thought it was non-intuitive, but now I'm on a new mac with CS2 I understand I have to just get used to it so i can have its powerful features! After days of searching, I have yet to find the answer to my biggest question...

How do you customize the toolbars?? I know how to move the windows, dock them, make them visible/invisible, etc. But how can you add new buttons to them? I'm used to having every function that I use often right there, one mouse-click away, instead of nested inside of some menu. Like a save button for instance. Or copy and paste.

Lightroom :: Set Preferences To Open Most Recent Catalog?

May 19, 2012

I'm running LR 4.1 with ACR 7.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
  
I set my preferences to open most recent catalog.

I then open another catalog and do some stuff in the catalog but when I start LR next time it keeps going back to a different catalog. How can I change the settings so it either opens the most recent catalog or I get prompted for which catalog I'd like to open (I've tried both settings) and LR still keeps opening the same catalog.

Lightroom :: Sharing Catalog - Does Housing Catalog And Images On External Hard Drive Work

Jan 15, 2014

I will be managing a small portion of a client's overall image workflow by updating their web prescence on a regular basis with new work and retagging/uploading old work. I believe this requires the catalog and the image library  to be housed on an external hard drive that can travel between the two of us. We are both working on PC's with LR 5.3.
 
The workflow would look something like this:
 
Client downloads new images onto external hard drive and imports into LR "ClientCatalog" is created Flags Picks and Creates a Collection from those Picks.Hard drive is handed off to me where I open "ClientCatalog".Make suggested edits to images add detailed tags and metadata upload to various social media sites and websites return hard drive to client
 
Is there potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive then there are no worries about the catalog containing all the latest updates. Are there any "safety protocols" you would add in to this workflow (besides mirroring everythign on another hard drive)?

Photoshop Elements :: Catalog Changed The File Location Of All Pictures To Location On Backup Drive

Jul 6, 2013

Photoshop Elements 6 (20070910.r.377499)
 
I do not know why the catalog has changed the file location of "ALL" pictures to the location on my backup drive.

Example: K:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG

The actual location of the original photo is:  D:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG
 
The location of "My Pictures" is on my primary Hard Drive D:My DocumentsMy Pictures
 
Why is Photoshop changing all of my 37,000+ photo thumbnails to point to my Backup Drive K:?
 
I need to correct the catalog file. How do I make the correction and stop it from happening in the future?

Photoshop :: Unable To Designate Internal Drive As Scratch Disc (non Boot Drive)?

2) I upgraded to PS6 extended (cloud) and after a week it now hangs during startup at loading Nik Color Efex Pro 4 plugin. Hangs for about 3 minutes before continuing.
