How Do I save and restore keywords, categories and tags in PE6?

I have my photos backed up on an external hard drive, but if and when my hard drive crashes, how do I get back the tags, keywords, categories, etc. that I have used in the PE 6 Organizer?  Can I save them and, if so, when I need to restore this, how do I do that?  How do I reconnect tags, categories, keywords, etc. with photos that I re-import after a hard drive crash?

John: Many thanks for this help.  I use CS3, but my mom has PE6 and I'm trying to help her.  I'm not as familiar with PE6.
Again, thanks,
Mark

PSE keeps your keywords, categories, albums, stacks, version sets, captions, notes, dates, and star ratings in a file in a "catalog folder".  (Do Help > System Info to find the location of your catalog folder).  When you make a backup with the PSE File > Backup command, it copies all your photos and the catalog file into the backup.   When you restore from that backup, it copies that catalog file and all your photos to the location you specify.

  • How do you save changes made in iPhoto, and export the changed file.  It keeps reverting back to the original.

    How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    That's a peculiar one to get in the context of a QuickTime uninstall.
    Which particular version of QuickTime for Windows are you currently running? (7.7.5, 7.7.4, something earlier?)

  • Have to deinstall/reinstall: how do I save and restore Bridge thumbnails and metadata?

    My hard drive is failing. I am having it replaced. I will then be installing Windows 7 and applications including CS5.5. In addition to the thumbnails, I have a lot of metadata, keywords, collections, and stacks etc. in Bridge and I hope I do not have to lose it all and start from scratch. I had been using a disk image backup system which would have allowed me to restore the entire contents of the drive bit for bit, but the backups started to fail when the hard drive began to fail. So I have to back up or copy specific folders. Does anyone know how I should go about this?

    Metadata and keywords are stored in the files themselves.
    Don't know about Stacks.
    Collections, keyword lists and workspaces are stored in c:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge version\

  • How do I save my edits in iPhoto and/or Aperture?

    I have edited an image in iPhoto and again in Aperture and can't find either. The original remains. I can find no "Save" option and assumed that it was automatic. If so, where does it go? Is there a "save as" option?

    I can find no "Save" option and assumed that it was automatic. If so, where does it go? Is there a "save as" option?
    Yes, Aperture and iPhoto will save the edited Version.
    In Aperture the edited version will replace the previously edited version, unless you set the option "Create new versions when making adjustments" in the Aperture Preferences Advanced panel.
    So the image you are seeing in iPhoto or Aperture will be your edited image.
    Were you expecting to find an edited version outside the Aperture library in the Finder? If you want that, use the command "File > Export" to save an edited version of your image to a folder on the Desktop. Aperture does not actually create edited image file, unless you export a version.

  • How to filter based on two keywords (using And)?

    Something that seems so simple but I just can't figure it out.
    I've added keywords to a lot of my photos. Now I want to find all the keywords that match multiple pictures -- like with Snow AND Tree.
    When I select multiple keywords using shift, it builds a filter Snow OR Tree instead of what I want, Snow AND Tree.
    How do I build up a filter based on multiple keywords with AND logic?
    And along the same train of thought, I imagine someday I might want to even build on this and say Nature is synonymous with Tree or Lake... and then build a filter based on Nature AND Snow. Is this possible?
    Sorry for such an obvious question and thanks in advance.
    Love Lightroom so far, in the 2 days I've played with it and see it as finally being a way to quickly and easily organize and manage my photos.
    Ron

    For NOT it works if you do the following:
    1. Select keyword (e.g foo) to find photos with just that keyword
    2. Ctrl + A to select all
    3. Go to All Photogrpahs in the Library (selection will be maintained)
    4. Go to Edit -> Invert Selection
    This should leave you with all photos without 'foo'.
    Works for me (Windows XP).

  • HT204394 How do I save a movie to iCloud and delete from iPad?

    How do I save movies and books to iCloud?

    You're going to find that pretty much every cloud storage system works in a similar way. Some, like OneDrive, will allow you to select what folders sync to and from every machine it's installed on.
    Maybe something like that would fit your needs better.

  • How do I save everything on my apps and transfer to a new iPad?

    Need help!!  I want to get a new iPad but need to transfer all the info on my current iPad apps (e.g. goodreader, keynote, etc).  How can I do it without losing anything/everything?  How can I also ensure that my iPad is "empty" before I give away?
    Separate inquiry...because many of us use this iPad, Is there also a way to transfer the information we have under one iTunes account into another?
    Thank you for your help!

    First, sync and backup the ipad to both itunes on a computer and icloud if possible. You can restore the new ipad from the old ipad backup. You can download any previously purchased and downloaded account by signing into the account used to access the content and download again from the 'purchased' tab on your ipad.

  • How do I save a slideshow (iphoto 09) and share it for use in a dvd

    I created a slideshow in iphoto 09 and want to save it and then share it with another person who will be adding it to a dvd with movies. I originally created the slideshow and then sent it to idvd and then saved it as an .img file but the file could not be imported so I was looking for an option of simply saving my slideshow and sharing it but I can't find a way to do so.
    Thanks

    Actually you should have selected the 640 x 480 size or 720 x 540 size as iDVD will reduce what ever you choose to the 640 x 480 size as that's the default DVD size. 
    Also try using the Share ➙ DVD menu option which does all of the work for you and import the resulting QT movie file of the slideshow into the iDVD menu.
    Once you have the iDVD project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

    if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
    The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
    it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
    and i hope you understand my problem..
    i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!
    -sierra

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Browser view and sometimes Keywords show and sometimes they don't

    I have uptodate Aperture etc. I have an album of 100 pictures each of which has several keywords assigned [I checked in list view]. Then I go to Browser view = most of the images have the Version name and the Keywords listed under the image [as I have it setup] but then I go a little further and every now and then an image shows a Caption but no keywords === and then only Keywords show up - and then some more have Captions and no keywords. In other words, they all have captions and they all have Keywords but in Browser mode but on some only the Caption shows up and on others only the Keywords and on yet others both captions and keywords show up. I have gone in to customize the metadata in the View and even changing it around doesn't end up showing both Caption and Keyword for all the 100 images.

    one can't reset firefox on a regular basis, makes no sense - this happens at least several times a month. It works on IE each time, I like Mozilla and dont't want to switch back and forth, as well I am not fond of the Crickler Beta which seems to work more often. Just fix this glitch please!
