How to import photos into LR 2.6 from Elements 8

Mar 7, 2010 10:26 AM

When I used Photoshop elements 6 I was able to import into LR 2.6 from elements catalog. How can I do this with Elements 8. The option doesn't come up in files menu.

LR 2.6 does not support Elements 8. It may be supported in LR 3 but we'll have to wait until it's released to find out.

I think you mean you were able to *convert* a PSE6 catalog to a Lightroom catalog. This isn't possible with Lightroom 2.6 and PSE8 catalogs, but you can *import* your photos from PSE8 into Lightroom, although you will lose some PSE catalog information. First, use psedbtool to write the metadata from the PSE8 catalog to the photo files themselves; then import the photos into Lightroom.
