Failure of conversion of Photoshop elements catalog 12 to 13

• Lightroom does not update Photoshop Elements catalog

  I tried to post this question before, but maybe I put it in the wrong place. In all cases:

  I have two catalogs Photoshop elements 11 (PSE). When I switched to Lightroom, I was able to update one of these catalogues with only minor hiccups. Lightroom searched my records and found the catalog by itself.

  Now, I want to upgrade the second. I need to keep separate the first catalogue. However, when I try to upgrade the second catalog I can't access it. Lightroom displays the catalog already modernized PSE but provides no way to access the second for selection.

  The user guide says that I can choose any PSE catalog for the upgrade, but appears not to be the case.

  Any suggestions?

  Never mind. I just thought of it. Lightroom will find other catalogs only if they are the last catalogue used with PSE. I just went to PSE, load of the catalog, I wanted to update and closed PSE. Then I relaunched Lightroom and do a file > catalog Upgrade PES and this time Lightroom found.

• Try to upgrade a PES 10 catalog Lightroom CC - problem: conversion file path problem [was: upgrade Photoshop elements catalog]

  Update 20150707:

  So I think I found the reason for the problem:

  About 60% of my files in my catalog of PES 11 are converted (or probably better: "sent") to Lightroom with a double slash "/ /" in the path of the file.

  This looks like: D:/photos/ /Keep, albums, 2002, 200212 < the rest of the way is OK >...

  Lightroom complains that it cannot find the file on the disk, probably because of the double slash.

  With more than 4,000 theses error Lightroom core dumps with a buffer overflow, probably due to the large number of error messages. Cup of the catalogue of PES 11 decline little by little I managed to identify the cause.

  The problem is that my PES 11 catalog is repaired, optimized and PES 11 think that the file is in the correct location and can open and edit it.

  So what do I do to make the two programs to understand each other with their file name conventions? ... or how to get rid of the second crime "/"?

  Thank you

  Good afternoon

  I'm trying to upgrade a PES 10 catalog Lightroom (Lightroom details below) CC - both on Windows 8.1 (details below as well)

  There are about 30,000 photos in the catalogue of PES 10. Import runs for awhile then LR CC shows a short message that it could not import all of the photos and then it is intercepted by a Windows operating system message that indicates «Lightroom has stopped working...» »

  He has imported about 3,500 photos and converted all the photos of Collections, but also in the tree of the key.

  I tried the following:

  (in PES 11)

  • optimized and repaired the catalog
  • removed all files types that LR does not support
  • removed all media offline

  (in LR cc)

  • Tried running in different compatibility modes
  • Tried running in administrator mode
  • Temporarily disabled any antivirus software

  I run LR CC successfully with a new catalog and it behaved very well through all operations. TI ROM dumps on the conversion of this catalogue. Importing photos from the catalogue above works fine hierarchy; just that it loses the key word and obviously knows no collections.

  Is there any log file indicating the element involved the conversion?

  I have to say that I love LR after a period of three weeks of the trial, but I'm not really ready to let go hold on 90% of my data meta at this stage.

  Best

  Thomas

  I found the reason, but there is no solution...

  Comments:

  The double slash ' \ ' in the path appears to be introduced with the upgrade to PSE10. I can't say how it happened, but there were about 27,000 files connected by an access path "D:\pictures\\album\portrait\image_1.jpg".

  Fortunately, I worked with this database, as in fact all files could be catalogued, modified, opened with the editor. I checked from time to time for "Missing files" and none has been identified. After I discovered the problem during the conversion of catalogue Lr, I checked the display "File Location" and none of the files with the double slash are recognized as part of the catalog. I could import into the catalog of the "location of the folder" producing duplicates:

  'D:\pictures\\album\portrait\image_1.jpg '.

  'D:\pictures\album\portrait\image_1.jpg '.

  live happily next to each other.

  I could "move" the wrong file in the thumbnail view in its original, which corrects the incorrect path. But as my collection is well distributed on a large directory structure and there is no way to sort way "thumbnail" it would be a never-ending task.

  Here are the steps I took to fix the problem. It was not as simple as it sounds by

  now and took a lot of trial and error for weeks.

  1. I made a backup of the catalog PSE10 ("File-> backup catalog..") hard disk
  2. I have 'removed' photos from their original location, so that they could not be found (as I had a distinct data reader, I just removed the drive letter in the Windows Disk Management Console)
  3. I restored the backup PSE10 ("File-> Restore Catalog... "), choose 'new place' and placed in the root of a different drive. If you do not have a spare laptop drive, you can use the "subst q: ; I had hoped to keep the structure of the root, it is easier for the PSE10 to reconnect files later, but I can't confirm that it makes a difference.
  4. After restoring PSE10 complained (thankfully!) could not find any files (27,000) with double '-', so, unlike the situation at the beginning, I could now chose "file-> reconnect-> all missing files. He tried to find the files, but he could not find them in the area returned after searching for 5 minutes for the first file. Then I reconnected a file manually and restarted the process and after 1 h PSE10 had reconnected all files without any problems, and the images appeared as well in the 'file location' display.
  5. As I wanted my files in their original location, I "return" the files in their original location by moving them in the 'File location' view, which took another 3 hours.
  6. As I was not very confident with the whole process ensuring all files have actually been part of this process, I closed 10 PSE and "reinstalled" my original tree together file pictures of the "retired" location (step 2) after you delete the files moved PSE10.
  7. I grew up PSE10 and checked for missing files, everything was still connected.
  8. Finally I re-imported the tree of the original files 'reinstalled' together again to see if something is missed, but all files have been correctly identified as duplicates. The final step was to validate "File Location" view, where are the files appears in the tree structure tight.

  Then, I did what I wanted finally to update the catalogue of PSE10 to LR6 and it worked without any problems take images and metadata across.

  Fact.

  A plea to Adobe...

  I think it would be a great idea to publish catalogues different proprietary formats (PES / LR). This

  cannot be that difficult because you must have appropriate documentation. In this case the problem could be

  solved with double '-' setting programmatically. If you think that your customers entrust their digital

  assets on your cloud, some "opening" your end would be just one...

• If I update my Photoshop Elements catalog (13) in Lightroom will I still be able to access the catalogue in elements?

  I have a 60 000 catalog + elements I'm using since version 2 or 3. I considered pulling in Lightroom, but don't know if I'll be able to adjust my workflow - so I can continue to use elements instead. The upgrade change the catalog or copy it? Can the two programs share the same catalog? I read that events created in an existing catalog of items will not appear in Lightroom. Is this true? Are there other tags/etc which cannot be accessed?

  Thank you

  Christine

  Update the catalog Lightroom 6 not change or modify your catalog somehow, and elements will continue to be able to use it. Programs do not share the same catalog. Any work you do in the catalog of items once the upgrade is not known of Lightroom, two catalogs do not speak between them.

  My advice is for you to try Lightroom on new photos that are not in the elements, see if you are comfortable with Lightroom on these new photos rather than real work on photos that are in BOTH Lightroom and elements, work in Lightroom ddone transfers automatically to items.

  Please read the free e-book for beginner with Lightroom: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/

• Photoshop elements 14 transition LR6

  I've been a professional photographer for the past 30 years, using PE since version 2.  Now retired, I can't get into photography in a much larger way.  a few questions: is LR the right next step?  I understand that most common adjustments can be made in LR, but PE editor can handle more sophisticated editsI currently use ss14 and have tags keyword extended, as well as people tags, tags of event and location.  will be all that data imported into LR?  If I start with LR is the ss14 Organizer is no longer used, but the same functionality is available in LR?  Once I have started using LR will be the organizer of the EP is more synchronized when new images are imported into LR? Facial recognition of ss14 features is available in LR to assist with marking?  Thank you

  I agree with @99jon

  I have noticed that there is a situation where Adobe has an absolutely terrible choice of words. If you read the title of the instructions on the link given "Automatically import photos from Photoshop Elements to Lightroom", you will feel that you import pictures PES in Lightroom. Be aware that there is no involved imports! None! Zero! If you read further, you will see that you use the command to file menu-> upgrade Photoshop elements catalog with Lightroom. Ago as nothing "automatic" on this issue, you must issue an order to get there, it does not happen by itself. So, please don't try to import your PSE photos in Lightroom, it's the wrong thing to do.

• How can I import files in Lightroom 3 for Photoshop elements 8?

  I just installed Lightroom 3 and bypassed the ability to import my photos from Photoshop elements 8 (to see what other options were available). Lightroom Advanced page and there seems to be no way to return to the previous page, I closed the page and reopened a few times.

  I can't find where PSe8 stores its files either, so it's not an option. How can I reset lightroom to import my old files? Thank you.

  I also see "upgrade files" but have no idea of what that means and do not see an explanation; a simple definition would be great. Thanks again!

  In the library module, choose file > upgrade Photoshop elements catalog. This allows to convert the last open catalogue of PES in a LR catalog.

• Photoshop elements 14.1 (Windows 10) crashes after importing multimedia files in a catalog to convert

  In addition to 12.1 PSE, I installed PES 14.1 and converted to catalog.pse12db catalog.pse14db without any error message.

  Import... Download the pop media button to the top of the "Coppying - XX % Completed" progress window, which evacuated then at 100% and PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe crashes.

  Kill PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe with the Task Manager and go to PSE14 show media files had nevertheless imported free of errors.

  Adobe Photoshop elements 14.1 reinstalling does not fix the problem.

  Open a new catalog and importing multimedia files in this new catalog.pse14db runs without error.

  Catalog.pse14db contains the beginning marked more 6000 photos with Photoshop elements 3 (on my old PC with Windows 2000) and thus has been transformed several times during its history. The volume_table table includes readers/devices from the old PC, which do not exist in PCs today.

  Although I'm not familiar with SQLite, using sqlite manager (add-on Firefox) help solve my problem (if it's really a question of catalog.pse14db)?

  Any ideas for me?

  Thank you!

  Michael Weinert

  Michel,

  I took a break.

  Apart from that, I'm at a loss what to try next...

  A few days before Pentecost, I resumed outages by install the trial version of Photoshop elements 13, conversion of catalog.pse12db into catalog.pse13db, from Photoshop elements 14.1 and transform this catalog.pse14db catalog.pse13db.

  He has no problem now to import media files in this converted catalog.pse14db. I will continue using PSE14.1 with the converted catalog whatching to find errors.

  I wonder why the repair function on the Catalog Manager solves this problem, and what will be the opinion of the team of Adobe.

  BTW

  Import media files offer 'Get media' or 'Open' - what is the difference?

  Kind regards

• How to convert a Photoshop Elements 3.0 to 13 items prreserving tags catalog?

  I've repeatedly tried to convert a catalog Elements 3.0 to 13 parts of a computer to another (XP to 8.1) using backup/restore via reproductive external hard drive. I selected "Keywords to write to the files" before the backup. Organizer of items 13 detects and any the images but then error during the conversion leaving me with a screen full of images without date and name without categories or tags. Information found online, even Adobe help articles, has not solved the problem.

• Convert Adobe Photoshop Album catalog in Photoshop Elements 13

  Hello community!

  I searched Google this question, but I have not found a response that helped me.

  The old computer of my client with Windows XP operating system is getting replaced by a new one with Windows 7.

  There is Adobe Photoshop Album on the former, which is no longer supported. My client has had more than 15'000 images on his old PC I have already copied on the new computer. Now, he wants his albums, tags and stuff from Adobe Photoshop Album, so I decided to install Photoshop elements 13 because of the elements Organizer tool.

  Now that I've seen answers in the forums that sayed that all these information is saved in the catalog file "My Albums.psa", I already found on the old computer and copied to the new. Some people sayed that would work with the option "convert" to post-secondary studies, but it does not work for me, because the PSE does not see the .psa file. So, I tried to convert my file .psa with this tool, but in the middle of the State, he said that he failed and that I should try to fix the EPS file. I'm now stuck here, with several different solutions, and yet I don't know what to do now.

  I read something about the structure of folders and images and records should be on the disk hard when you try to convert the .psa file. All the photos are on the new computer, but of course records are not the same on the new OS.

  He would be happy if I find a solution as soon as possible of a person in the community.

  Thank you and have a nice day!

  Here is the link explaining the backup/restore process.

  When the backup is completed successfully, you get a backup folder in which you have a renamed copy of all the files in your photo and your catalog, as well as a file named backup.tly.

  The restore process, initiated from the new computer will allow you to choose the location where you want to restore your photo folders tree. Normally, the restoration is automatically followed by a conversion of the old catalog to the new format. In your case, you will need to use the conversion utility to resolve the issue of 64-bit.

  If the backup is ok you should retrieve all your information tagging and folder organization. In your case I would choose restore to a new master folder and delete the copies that you did when you are sure that everything is ok.

• Can I convert my Photoshop Elements 4 PSE11 catalog?

  Wish to purchase PES 11, but I currently use PSE4.  If I buy the new PES 11 will be my transfer of photo files at the time of new download?

  Title of the message was edited by: Brett N

  See this note:

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/common-catalog-issues-upgrade-elements.html

  In fact, if you install PSE11 in the same computer as PSE4, you can convert the PSE4 catalog to the new version, and the new catalogue will recognize your media files. See the limits of conversion for some types of creations in the link above.

  The other way suggested by Preran (which is to make a complete backup of PSE4 and restore from the PSE11) is a good way; It is necessary if you are migrating to a different computer or operating system.

• How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

  Keep all image files both places?

  What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

  Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

  As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

  As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

  Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

• Catalog in Photoshop elements 11 to 14 update

  I am running windows 10 and 11 Photoshop elements.  Recently, I had to reinstall the operating system.  I thought I had my catalog in a secure location on a different drive, but I guess it was on the main drive that has been wiped out.  After you have reinstalled Windows 10, I decided it was the right time to upgrade to Photoshop elements 14.  After the installation of 14, I found that it lacked the catalog file.  I still have all the pictures, but not the catalog that has the tag.  I tried to do a restore in 14 from a complete backup of Photoshop Elements I've done with version 11.  The backup could not find a *.tly file in the backup directory.  I also tried a restore with version 11, but it is also a .tly file.

  The complete backup folder has what appears to be a copy of everything in my catalog.  There is even a file named catalog.buc.

  Does anyone know a way I can recover my catalog file?

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  In short, your files are still where they were on the same computer (no change for the reader) and you have a backup without a "backup.tly" file folder If this file is missing, which means that the backup was not successful; the .tly file is the last created when everything is saved in the backup folder, and the best way to verify that a backup is good is to check the presence of this file. Without it, the normal restore process is impossible.

  Since you have a "catalog.buc" of PSE11, this file is a copy renamed your database file 'catalog.pse11db '.

  Create a folder somewhere, like "my catalog restored", place a copy of the catalog.buc and rename it to catalog.pse11db.

  PSE14, try the button "convert" in Catalog Manager after having sailed to the new folder.

  No guarantee that it will work, but it's quick and easy to try.

  Get you most of your tagging, but not face recognition or some other features.
