Import of photos from Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

bettinag28131181  wrote Dear Adobe Photoshop Elements Team, I just imported my 10,000 + photos from various folders saved on my computer. To date, I used Photoshop Elements 11 and recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 18. Unfortunately, all evaluations and "staples" of my pictures were not imported. Is there any possibility to import pictures including this additional information? This would save me tremendous time instead of going through all my photos again to include evaluations etc. Kind regards Bettina

Bettina,

When you upgrade your Elements version, you don't have to import your files again. All the information you have created in PSE11 is stored in a catalog. When you installed PSE2018, you have been prompted to 'convert' the PSE11 catalog to the PSE2018 format. If you have missed that opportunity, you can use the menu File >> manage catalogs and select the 'convert' button. That creates a new catalog with the same data in the new format. The old catalog is still available for PSE11 (with a -1 suffix).
