MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Apparently nobody... I don't use Elements, but you can probably assume that it's put them in a folder somewhere on your PC I suspect what's happened is that the second lot you uploaded will now be first in the queue and the only ones showing. If it's a later version of Elements (6 onwards, I think) there should be some kind of browser that you can view the files in. Have a look at the address of the folder containing the second batch, and you'll find the others not far away... If you still can't find them, do you still have the images on the memory card? If so, no problemo, just plug camera in, open "my computer", open camera or card reader, then copy files and paste them to a folder on your PC and you'll know exactly where they are Haven't a clue how to convert RAW files on elements, but if it's similar to Photoshop CS you get the option to open as a normal image, and can then save it as a jpeg or tiff. Sorry can't be any more help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerTheCat 3 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Ok two part question 1) I uploaded Raw files to photoshop now I cant find them how do I retreive them. They were there until I uploaded more files now I can only find the 2nd lot. Any ideas where the files will be. 2) How do I convert raw files on elements? I use Photoshop Elements 7. I use Elements to upload raw files rather than any software that is supplied with my camera to upload. By using Elements the files are automatically put into a library. To view the files I then go to a Tab called ORGANISE which lets me see all the files in the library. Elements sets this all up who you first install it. To find lost files try one of the following: 1. You could try opening Elements and click File > Get Photos > From Camera. The tab that appears may show where the uploded files are stored. 2. Elements has a search facility click File > Get Photos > From Files and Folders. This will locate all Photographs on your PC. Only do this as a last resort as you will find a lot of pictures To convert files from RAW format to another format. First open the raw file into Photoshop. Then click FILE > SAVE AS There are two drop down menus one of which gives you the option to save the file in a different file format. There is another way to convert Raw Files as a batch process ( 10, 20, 30 at a time) but I am not sure how to do that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
