Elements 8

Hello,

 

HP did a system recovery on my computer today.  I downloaded all of my files to my external hard drive before that event.  Well, I can not find my copy of photoshop elements 8 so that I can pull up my recent photos.  I can see the files but not the actual pictures.  What can I do to get everything back.  I did download elements 10 thinking I could switch files over to it.   Thank you,  Chandra

    The heading of your post refers to Elements 8, but in the text you reference Elements 10.

    Is the problem that the catalog which you access in the Organizer in v.10 does not open the picture files?

    Please clarify with more specificity.

    When you try to open a picture file in PSEv.10, what happens? What do you see? Do you get an error message?

    What is the artwork that you can't pull up? What does this mean? What kind of files are the artwork files? JPEG TIFF PNG??????? How are you trying to "pull them up"? Tell us step-by-step.

    You say that you see files but not artwork.

    Can you post a screen shot of what you see on your monitor?

    Are you working in Editor or Organizer?

    I can see the labeled folder but when I click on the folder there is nothing there. 

     

    At this point we have established :

     

    • You have installed PSEv.10 on your computer
    • You have a labeled folder, but the artwork files are not in this folder

     

    In your initial inquiry, you stated that you backed up the files to your external drive prior to the system recovery. Have you searched this drive?

    Why was it necessary for HP to do a system recovery?

    Can you open other files on your computer?
