Move folders used by Photoshop Elements 8

I use Photoshop Elements 8 with Windows Vista.

Last year, I installed PS8 on my new computer and restored a backup of my old computer. Everything worked fine but I noticed that my photos of root folder (named Jpegs) is now 9 levels down in the file structure with multiple levels of folders under the Jpeg file (see the path below).

JPEG folder is located at:

C:\Users\New_computer_account_name\Pictures\Adobe\Documents and Settings\Old_computer_account_name\My Documents\Old_computer_account_name\Pictures\Jpegs

It seems to me that the last years my backup installation used the path of the complete folder from the old computer and added at the end of the path on the new computer.

What should I do to up the files in the path of the folder so that they are easier to get to other than by using a shortcut?

I'm assuming that photos appear as missing if I just move files using windows and have to go through a long and tedious process of reconnecting them (have more than 10,000 pictures catalogued).

It would be easier to do a full backup, delete any folder below may be the "Adobe" folder then try a restore to get just a few levels down?

What is the easiest way and most course of my photo files go up a few levels and at what level in the folder structure should be?

I'm searching your forum and the Adobe help fields but cannot find an answer to my question.

Thanks in advance

Hi Farmer

You move folders in PSE8.

Open the organizer and click the Display button (near the top right) and the location of the folder.

Expand the tree in the left panel to view the structure of the complete file.

Select a folder and drag it to photos (normally the spyware case) or a folder of your choice.

The destination folder will value you pass on it and you can then release the mouse.

When complete click on the Display button and return to the thumbnail view if this is your default favorite.

    The answer lies in this faq:

    PSE12 cannot be updated to the required version of ACR, 8.2, you need PSE13.

    This faq has links to see the whichACR version are necessary for a camera and which is supported by your version of elements.

    It also has links to download the free Adobe DNGconverter which is a stand-alone software to batch convert your files CR2, DNG format raw that your elements version can read and modify.

    The problem with movie files, is that the "date taken" is not recorded by the camera in a metadata section. Therefore, the Organizer assumes "creation date" returned by the computer OS must be used. You can change (update) the "date taken" in the Organizer so that the catalog keeps information you entered in the catalogue.

  • Mass move source files in Photoshop elements (PSE) 4 or 5 or 6 of 7...

    Because my Photoshop Elements 7 (previously 5 and 1, 3) catalog has survived several computers, I "restored" the catalog several times. When I did, I wanted to keep my photo file structure, so I chose this option in the restore. However, instead of restore on the C: drive, I restored it to C/Users/me/Pictures...so you probably know the situation. My photo files are now in c:\Users[user-name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes/moi/photos/utilisateurs/moi/photos/utilisateurs/moi/photos/MyAlbum / [various records]. It's ugly and a pain to deal with. Is it possible to move the source files of:

    C:\Users[user-name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes/Moi/photos/Utilisateurs/Moi/photos/Utilisateurs/Moi/photos/MyAlbum / [issues]

    TO

    C: users/me/images / [issues]

    I know I can do this pic at a time within the PES, but I can do something like a lot while "issues" with names that indicate the dates and topics? At this point, I can't simply backup and restoration at the level C: because evil is done! The structure of the file is already deep 11 + records!

    Thank you!

    In the Organizer, go to view > display the location of the folder, where you can move entire folders (and their subfolders) by drag-and - drop in the left pane.  Drag the folder:

    C:/users/me/photos/users/me/photos/users/me/photos/MyAlbum

    in the folder:

    C:/users/me/images /.

    It will shorten the path of the folder to:

    C:/users/me/photos/MyAlbum

In addition, the photos aren't in the 'same' place. I have more 22 000 photos and that you can't imagine trying to re-catalogue.

  • Can I use my Photoshop Elements 7 if I bought it not saved someone else?

    Hello.

    I have a question that bothering me lately. I just bought a license of Photoshop Elements 7 of someone a few days ago. The person had won the software in a contest, at least that of what he told me, and never used the program. I installed and registered successfully, which means that the product has not been registered in front of me. However, I feel frustrated that I thought that the real proof on the box, the serial number of the cd case, and the fact which is recorded on my account, would be sufficient to qualify as being the legal owner of the product. But I've heard that I should also have a Bill and a document signed by the man I bought from so that elucidates the authenticity of the transaction as being legally mine. I never bought a software someone else before so I was not aware of these things, I just thought that if I have the original case and the original hologram on the box saying "true Adobe", can I be sure that I have a legal version of Photoshop Elements 7.  I want to ask: should I worry I can be fined by the authorities if I use the program? Should I ask some evidences that I bought?  I don't really know what to do.

    Thank you very much.

    Just relax and forget. A lot of people - most of us, I would say - wind upward with multiple accounts to adobe over the years. Nobody's going to come with a black maria, in the night. You are very well.

    While exactly made the choice to "move the catalog?

    What I explained: the catalogue (which is a folder) is moved to the desired location. Move catalog does not change its content, including the location of the image files referenced.

    Move a catalog in the default location on an external USB drive to store all of your media files is a comon task. In this way, you can share your catalog and library between multiple computers with the same version of elements. Replacing the external drive to the internal one after a full backup and a restore disk external hard is also useful to make your catalogs (if you have several of them) are displayed in the same place in the Catalog Manager, having rather navigate to the location of "custom".

  • How to create a model using my Photoshop elements 11

    Re case #0184079394 some please ring me back as promised more than an hour there, please thank you

    You need to create a model in the Editor (Expert Mode)

    File > new > Blank File

    The image dimensions for width and height of the value

    Set the resolution to 72 for example for display on the screen or between 240 and 300 if the image is to be printed.

    Set the background color to black and click OK

    Copy and paste your artwork in the model, or open photos in the photo tray and drag them to the top on top of the model.

    Use the move tool to drag and position each element. You will need to position and resize using the angle handles (hold down shift to maintain proportions)

    Good luck.

  • Why I have to have Internet access and connect to Adobe to use Photoshop Elements?

    I can't use Adobe Photoshop elements 13 I don't have access to the Internet and log on to an Adobe account.  Why?  This means that you can not install the software on a laptop and use it on a trip unless you have access to Internet 100% throughout your trip.  What a load of...  Why is this?  I have a way around it?

    All advice appreciated.

    You need internet on the installation and the first time you launch PSE, but after that you need not to be connected at all, just signed in. It's a bad choice of words; activate in PSE 12 and 13 sign in means and if you disconnect, you disable the program, but you don't need an internet connection to use (other that to download graphics and templates the first time use you them).

  • where my Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 images are stored?

    I feel like a fool, but I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 for years on my PC.  I put the software on an external hard drive that is separate from regular hard drive of my computer, thinking that if my computer goes down, my photos will be safe, assuming that the images were where I put all the software.  Well, my computer is dying, in preparation for a new, I wanted to "Save" my photos, I never tell Photoshop to do when he asked in the past because I think that the pictures ARE saved by being on this external drive.  Anyway, when I looked at the amount of memory is on this external drive (where I also copied my non-critical files from the image), I've seen some photo files but there is no way (depending on which is rated display and the amount of memory used) files of the actual image of my k 10 photos are on this extra external hard drive.  I then tried to 'save' in Photoshop, but he asked me everything first to search for the missing files, which gave rise to a lot of research and then Adobe "not responding."  FYI, when I opened my Gallery of Adobe Photoshop, I can see all my photos, including those that I have edited and saved in the catalog, I can pull things up by tag, etc., as if everything is 'there' and ok.  So, where the hell are the actual files for images in my Gallery of Adobe 'put' when I download in Adobe Photoshop?   I want to assure you that I have back up on something before I get rid of my current computer, but now I don't know where they are in order to save them!  Thanks for any help you can offer.  Sincerely, Luddite

    Lots of questions here, let's go step by step.

    To be precise, you put the 'library' (your image files) on your external hard drive. The 'software' is the program components itself. And Yes, your library is not affected by a failure of your main internal drive.

    Well, my computer is dying, in preparation for a new, I wanted to "Save" my photos, I never tell Photoshop to do when he asked in the past because I think that the pictures ARE saved by being on this external drive.

    Sorry, another definition of the word: a backup is necessarily a copy (in various forms, but a copy; for example, instead of a pure copy, you can have a zipped copy). This means that if your original disappears, your copy (backup) is available to restore the original. Regardless of the definition of the word, for you, this means that your external hard drive crash has no backup. You lose your entire library.

    Anyway, when I looked at the amount of memory is on this external drive (where I also copied my non-critical files from the image), I've seen some photo files but there is no way (depending on which is rated display and the amount of memory used) files of the actual image of my k 10 photos are on this extra external hard drive.

    You should be able to see your files of images from Windows Explorer. Your image files are probably under a single master file; This main folder has probably many folders full of files with the extension jpeg. Note that I recommend to set the properties of the files in Explorer to display the file extension. When you select the main folder in Solution Explorer and right-click to select "Properties", you will see the number of files and disk space for these images.

    I then tried to 'save' in Photoshop, but he asked me everything first to search for the missing files, which gave rise to a lot of research and then Adobe "not responding."

    It is a common situation when the files have been moved, deleted or renamed from the Explorer instead of the Organizer himself. It is strongly recommended to check periodically if the files are missing instead of wait for the moment should be safeguarded.

    Photoshop elements (PSE) knowledge base.

    Anyway, even if you have "offline" files, the backup should work. The first step in the backup, calculate disk space needed to contain the copy of image files and the catalog (database) itself.

    FYI, when I opened my Gallery of Adobe Photoshop, I can see all my photos, including those that I have edited and saved in the catalog, I can pull things up by tag, etc., as if everything is 'there' and ok.  So, where the hell are the actual files for images in my Gallery of Adobe 'put' when I download in Adobe Photoshop?

    When you "import" photos in your catalog, image files are "downloaded" to your computer if it is copied from a card reader or the camera. No copy, if they are already in the drive of your computer. In both cases, an entry is recorded and listed in the catalogue with the location (path) of the file and a very small "thumbnail" is created and included in the vignette "cache" of your catalog folder.

    When you browse your pictures, you always have the opportunity to see the "details", "information" for a given file, you know the location, the drive and the path where it is stored.

    Just a comparison: a catalog in the Organizer, it's like the brochure catalog used for a Museum of painting. It tells you where to find a painting and shows a small image. If some tables is 'missing' at the Museum because they were absent during the restoration, you will continue to see the small images in the booklet. Ditto for the Organizer: moved the photo from the Explorer files will still show in the catalogue, but with a? sign.
