You have your own 'custom' master folder, which is good. Now, I assume the restored catalog is working normally and your problem is the (unused) duplicates created in your last attempts. The conversion process is much faster than a backup followed by a restore and nothing is altered in your 'custom' media folders tree. If you miss that opportunity, it's still possible to do the conversion from the catalog manager of PSE2020. The conversion means the old catalog is read and all its contents are recovered in a new catalog in the latest database format. A restore from a full backup is not needed. The short answer is that what you should have done when installing PSE2020 is to simply accept the message asking you to 'convert' the previous catalog. Is there some way to just restore the catalog without restoring the photos? Is there some way to just move the folders back into their correct place? What did I do wrong? How do I get the catalog restored and pointing to the existing files in the existing folder structure?Īre these the only options: restore folders in a flattened folder structure or duplicate my entire user folder under my photos folder? Again I have duplicate folders with duplicated photos in the wrong place. Using the example above, I now have “~/myPictures/Users/myName/myPictures/myTravels/EuropeTrip/Madrid”. This time it created an entirely new folder structure, duplicating the entire file path (from root) within my pictures folder. I did the restore again, this time requesting that it restore the original folder structure. I renamed the newly created catalog folders so that PSE would think there was no catalog. The catalog pointed to the new folder, not the original folder. For example, if I had photos in “~/myPictures/myTravels/EuropeTrip/Madrid”, the catalog restoration created a new folder with the same photos in “~/myPictures/Madrid”. It restored the catalog data successfully, but flattened out the folder structure so now I had duplicate folders (with duplicate files) in the top level, as well as lower in the folder structure. The first time I tried the restore, I neglected to select “Restore original folder structure”. I should mention that I am using a custom location for the catalog. I installed PSE 2020 just today & did a catalog restore from the external disk. I restored these photo folders and files from other backups. This structure had not changed from pre-Catalina installation. My photos are on the Mac’s internal disk in a sub-folder, organized into a folder structure that makes sense to me. Before I updated, I did a full catalog backup to an external disk. Previously I had PSE 2019, but it became unusable when I updated to MacOS Catalina. I would really hate to lose all this data. I have thousands of photos, all annotated. Nance used the subject selection mask to select his parents and then adjusted the exposure to make his parents stand out in the frame.I am a long-time user of PSE. Use the masking tools to make precise adjustments to different areas of the frame. Select filter and Camera Raw Filter and select the masking tools. #4 Refine the Old Photo using Masking ToolsĬreate a new layer, click image and select apply image-this will put all of the elements from the previous steps into a single layer. Once you’ve finished colorizing scroll down and click the option to output as a new color layer. This Neural Filter also gives you the option to manually choose what colors different areas of the frame should be. This particular Neural Filter works best with large images with a lot of information, although Nance was working with a relatively small image, the Colorize filter still did a nice job identifying that the ocean should be blue and that the people in the frame should not be.
