Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0

Differences in file type support

Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements support many of the same file types, which makes the transfer of most files between the two programs easy and efficient. For example, you can catalog Photoshop (PSD) files in the Organizer and then add them as still images to a project in Adobe Premiere Elements.

However, the following file types are not recognized by both programs:

Note: The Organizer catalogs video AVI files properly, but audio AVI files are shown as broken video thumbnail icons. However, they will play correctly. Also, colors created in a file’s spot channels in Photoshop will not be displayed when the file is imported into Photoshop Elements.
The Editor can import individual video frames from ASF, AVI, MPEG, and Windows Media files. (Choose File > Import > Frame From Video.)
