transfer of albums from old version of photoshop to a newer

Jul 2, 2012 12:13 PM

I have used version 4.0 of Photoshop elements previously. I have saved a copy of my old hard disk, including the installation of Photoshop 4.0, on an external hard disk drive. I would like to transfer my albums, tags etc from my old version of Photoshop to my new Photoshop 9.0 on my new computer. How can I do that? Photshop 9.0 was pre-installed on my new computer before delivery to me.

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum. The users in this forum should be able to provide some suggestions on how to migrate your photos to the new computer and incorporate them into Photoshop Elements 9.

The normal method is to use the back-up and restore facility built into Elements. That is different to making a copy of everything. However the PSE4 database is different to the PSE9 database. If your old computer is still working it will probably be easier to install a copy of PSE9; then convert the old catalog to the PSE9 version. Then make a PSE9 back-up and use the TLY file within it to restore everything on to the new computer.
