Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to Photoshop Elements 2020





Hello,

I currently have Photoshop Elements 11 installed on a Windows 7 PC.

I've bought a new Win 10 PC and would like to continue using PE11 on the new Win 10 PC.

I do have a few questions which I have been unable to find answers for.  

1. Stick with PE11 on Win10

Will PE11 run on Windows 10?  If so, I assume I could use the original install CD to install PE11 on the Win10 PC.  I'm not sure if it would then update to the latest version of PE11 using the Help -> Updates option due to its age.  Assumming all that works I could then import the catalog from the old PC and carry on using PE11 on Win10.  Would this scenario work?

 

2. If PE11 won't run on Win10 then is there a way of upgrading IE to the latest 2020 version whilst maintaing all my data i.e. tags etc.  What would the best route be.  Can I install PE 2020 on my Win10 PC and import the catalog from the Win7 PC into the PE 2020 on the Win10 PC?  Would this transfer across tag info etc?  

 

Any help would be much appreciated.  I'm quite handy with PCs but not sure what constraints there are with this old version of PE 11 hence the questions.

 

Any help would be much appeciated.  In summary I am currently using PE 11 on a Win 7 PC to want to move to Win 10 and continue using PE in some form whilst maintaining all the tag info that I've spent years adding to my photos.  

 

As a secondary question.  All my photos are currently on a seperate interal drive (D Drive).  When I move to the new Win10 PC I will simply remove this internal drive from the old Win 7 PC and install it in the new Win 10 PC.  Due to this, my phtos will already be present and correct on the new Win 10 PC. As a result I suppose I don't actually need to restore the photos from the catalog as they will already be there however I do need all the tag info, which I assume is also imported as part of the catalog restore.  Do I go ahead a do a Catalog/File restore to the Original position and simply let this process overwrite all the pics (as they will already be in place)?

 

Thanks
1.   Yes, Elements 11 should work on a new Win 10 machine, assuming you have your serial number available.


 


2.  If and when you decide to upgrade, you can convert your Elements 11 catalog to the newer version and all of your Tags, Albums etc. will convert also.  (There may be some file creations [with a .pse file extension] that won't convert because the feature no longer exists.  I couldn't tell you which ones right now.)


 


3.  Since you are transferring your media drive to the new computer (and presumably maintaining the same drive letter as the Win 7 computer), it may be possible to simply copy the catalog folder to the new computer.  However, this may not work if you are using a Win 7 My Pictures system folder, because I believe there is a different naming convention in Win 10.  But it may be worth trying first before going to the bother of a Restore of the catalog.  And if you do a restore to the Original position, I'm not sure whether the files will be overwritten or skipped.
I used [an automatic photoshop script](http://arnaumarch.com/en/sprites.html) once and worked well.


The concept is : 


* Each portion is a different image.
* Each portion (and so, each images) must be in the same folder w/o any other images.
* Run the script indicating the folder and some parameters (size, css name, etc...).
* The script does : 


	1. Merge all images into one with the size you indicated.
	2. Generate the CSS file


In your case, if you modify one image, you regenerate the global image and the CSS via the script and... that's it. Maybe you'll need to copy/paste the CSS in yours if you don't want to use the generated one.


Notes :


I tried it with a few files and worked great. Then, I tried like ~600 pictures and then, you'll need a goooood CPU and patience ;) In this case, don't use it. hi,we have no formal “copy file type and template” from environment test to prod.this is what i’ve done hundreds of times.assuming you created a new file type or copied an existing template. - do this same process in prod (or the other environment), ideally keep the same name and description - just keeps things clean.then update the tabs so the file separator and date formant is the same. if you created any external file template controls update this as well,finally, - in the file template details, i delete all records in the new prod, and then use the copy / past object to copy the details from test to prod. rather than analyzing to see what’s different in the details between test and prod, if we know test works, i would typically delete the details and copy object from test to prod.if you had any formula in test you can manually copy these as well. it’s a few steps, but it only takes a couple minutes. best regards,thomas hi so i did a full clean reinstall of windows 10 and now it works again. must have been a settings or some software that did not work well with spotify or sonos connect app or could have been drivers of some sort. thank you annazel s for giving me tips and helping me out even tough i was so slow replying to you. It seems that updating Windows 7 has become a task that tests our patience and is accompanied by many unforeseen events.
**If you have installed Windows 7 and you are not able to update it because Windows Update is constantly looking for updates, here you will find the solution.**




![image](https://technowikis.com/sites/technowikis.com/uploads/084/8408675506832124429.jpg)




The problem of the search for updates is accompanied by a high consumption of RAM and CPU that does not allow even a good use of the PC while looking for updates. The problem is with Windows Update and how Microsoft has implemented the updates.




Windows 7 does not update, it keeps looking for updates forever and finds nothing.




**The first thing you need to know is if you are installing Windows 7 32bit or 64bit.**
Once we have this information, we can begin the process.



 
Disable Windows Update to make the update process faster.



First
[we open a terminal with administrator permissions](https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&depth=2&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=es&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://www.vozidea.com/abrir-consola-comandos-terminal-windows&xid=17259,15700023,15700186,15700190,15700256,15700259,15700262,15700265&usg=ALkJrhhqpP0r1As5JhHykWgqvcIjB7PXng)
to
**stop the Windows Update service**
with the command:
  

`net stop wuauserv`

Manually install update KB3020369.



**Installing this update is an essential requirement to solve this problem.**
It is the first step and if we do not install this update first, we will not be able to follow all the steps in this tutorial.




We know that the error is generated by a Windows Update client error, which hangs when scanning new updates. Microsoft released a patch that solves the problem, but in order to install it, it requires that we download and install the KB3020369
*"April 2015 servicing stack update" update first*
:



* KB3020369 for Windows 7
**32bit**
:
<https://www.microsoft.com/es-ES/download/details.aspx?id=46827>
* KB3020369 for Windows 7
**64bit**
:
<https://www.microsoft.com/es-ES/download/details.aspx?id=46817>



Two options to finish solving the Windows Update error in Windows 7.




At this point we have two options:



* **Download and manually install updates KB3172605 and KB3138612.**
Once installed, Windows Update should work correctly and we could update Windows 7 without problems.
* **Download and install the KB3125574 package released by Microsoft with all security updates until April 2016 and that allows you to update a Windows 7 installation faster.**
This package occupies more than 316MB in 32bit systems and 476.9MB in 64bit systems.



Both options work correctly, but it is true that
**downloading and installing the cumulative update KB3125574 is a more convenient and faster process, so it is the option I recommend for most users**
. Even so, I will explain both options.



 
Recommended option, download and install the KB3125574 package released by Microsoft with all security updates until April 2016.



![image](https://technowikis.com/sites/technowikis.com/uploads/171/17135527325084971355.jpg)




This update package can be found through the
[Microsoft Update Catalog](https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&depth=2&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=es&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx%3Fq%3D3125574&xid=17259,15700023,15700186,15700190,15700256,15700259,15700262,15700265&usg=ALkJrhgYZAtq0r4K4ryYk_7h4_sjeQs_-A)
or you can download it directly from the following links:



* Update package for Windows 7

Once the system is installed and restarted, we can now run Windows Update normally that will detect the remaining updates without problems.



 
Alternative option, manually download and install updates KB3172605 and KB3138612.



Next
**we download and install the KB3172605 patch**
:



* Download for Windows 7
**32bit**
:
<https://www.microsoft.com/es-ES/download/details.aspx?id=53335>
* Download for Windows 7
**64bit**
:
<https://www.microsoft.com/es-ES/download/details.aspx?id=53332>



Finally,
**we download and install the update for the Windows Update client of March 2016 (KB3138612)**
:



* For Windows 7
**32bit**
:
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=51208>
* For Windows 7
**64bit**
:
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=51212>



**Now we restart Windows 7 and rerun Windows Update to search for all available updates.**
In my case it has been a little more than 20 minutes looking for updates until it finally allowed me to install all the updates. try this version:

<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ffegjdy1563skl8qrnxtcngwg4vra_7-/view?usp=sharing>

we’re still working through some compatibility issues with the new os. it seems if i use the framework version that solves some of the visual glitches it messes up camera compatibility. seek and tell are still required.

Good Luck it has always been installed on my e drive with all of my games, but you gave me an idea and i might use the uninstall exe file that steam has to uninstall it, and then just reinstall it back into the drive.

so interestingly enough, apparently all it took was installing it into the same place it already was and i guess it just identified itself along with windows during the installation because now everything with it is fixed. thanks for the help! After 5 hours of learning I have compiled these:


Mindset



1. **Make sure the placed image ratio is good** to make it more realistic. This can be attained by checking with the other object in the output picture, like trees, or other peoples' height. You are not going to place human with the size much smaller than the other human at the same picture. Similarly, you also must not place a person with the height higher than a tree.
2. **Get the right perspective**. Sometimes, when an object is placed in an odd perspective, image is going to look very bold that it has been photoshopped or copy pasted.
3. **Lighting**. It is important to pay attention to light source, like the sun, and make sure our object is appropriate with output background light source. This can be done by adjusting the lighting of object and adding shadow with referencing other shadow in output image.


Tools (to make edges more realistic)



1. **Layer masking.** If moving people, hair can look awful if just plainly moved. Masking allows us to further tweak our selection.
2. **Refine edge.** *This tool allows you to control many aspect of the edge of your selection* (desired object to move), like Edge Detection (brushing the edges of object and let photoshop do its job, usually around dog fur), Feather (Soften the area of selection), Smooth (reduce pointiness of your selection), Contrast (somewhat opposite of smooth), and Shift Edge (moving feather far or nearer the selection, usually to remove excess background color near the edges). *REFERENCE: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lDr2Nd8Yl4>*
3. **Layer Matting**. Inside we have many sub-tools to work on, like Color Decontamination (spread out soft mask around the edge, usually for hair to catch other hair that accidentally masked or can be used similarly to Shift Edge), Remove Matte (soften edge of sharp graphic or pixalated, raster look). *REFERENCE: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6K_htNQPPA>*
4. **Image Calculation**. By playing with the blending, we can make the background darker; thus, helping us making mask. *REFERENCE: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zf-H9RoCNk>*
