Photoshop Elements Tags

I am presently using Photoshop Elements 8. If I upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 will I lose my Photoshop Elements 8 photo tags?

No, but People, Places and Events were dramatically changed in v11 onwards. I suggest you download the trial and convert your catalog to see if you like the new style. If you don't you can continue in the old style by renaming your tags in v8 to (say) 'My People', 'My Places' and then convert your catalog. Then they will come across as 'old style regular tags and you can ignore the new style.

Photoshop Elements tags to Sharepoint?

I just started working as a work study at our local college and I've just been given the task of organizing and tagging 10,000+ photos on our college SharePoint server. The person who was working on this project before I joined was using Photoshop Elements to tag the pictures. She got a majority of them tagged, so I would hate to have to start from scratch and tag them on SharePoint. The question is, is there some way I can just import the picture along with the meta-data directly to SharePoint?

Importing Photoshop Elements tags into iPhoto 09 keywords

I am looking for a method of importing my Photoshop Elements photos & videos with their tags into iPhoto as keywords. I've seen several posts on this topic but none quite work for my situation. I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation. I have the following...
* iPhoto 09
* PSE 5.0
* 10K+ photos with an average of 2-3 tags each
* want to import tags for video clips as well as for photos
Here's what I've tried...
* iPhoto did actually import a random few pictures with the tags (maybe 12 out of 10K)
* PSE DB Tool to write the tag data to the files. This requires PSE 6.0 or greater (i have 5.0). http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/
* PSE native tag writing. Doesn't write tags on video clips and is littered with bugs anyway.
* Other tag importing tool at http://www.cv2h.com/PSA2iPhoto/Welcome.html. Does not work with iPhoto 09.
Any ideas?

The IPTC metadata is for image files only. Video files can't have that metadata written to the file. Application can assign metadata to video files but they are kept in databases associated with the application and point to the video file.
Some DAM (digital asset management) applications can add keywords, etc. to video files but the data stays with the application.

Import Photoshop Elements tags

Hi,
I am new with iPhoto and wonder if it is possible to import the library I have in Photoshop elements today. A number of tags I want to keep.
Stefan

I have the same issue. How do I write the data? Also, I already had my photos transferred over to my new macbookpro from my Dell by Apple One-to-one service. I specifically asked about preserving all of my elements tags before I left my computers with them. I don't see any of my tags in iphoto. My photos are now organized by the folders they were in. Unfortunately, my folders do not correspond to any rhyme or reason because I always used elements to organize my photos. HELP!!! ;-D

Import photos from adobe photoshop elements (win) to Iphoto 08

Hi,
I just got an imac and I want to import my old photos and adobe photoshop element tags from my windows machine. I want to keep the tags the same. Does any one have any suggestions?
-D

Yes, use File>Write tags and properties to file and Elements should pick up the metadata keywords this creates. However, if you have raw files or tiffs from an epson scanner, the metadata creation can be unreliable.

Tags in Photoshop Elements 11

I just converted to Photoshop Elements 11 and have all my picture file organized using Tags, which has worked very well in previous version of PE.
Everything converted OK but the way PE11 uses Tags is quite confusing.
First, Tags are shown on the right side, but when you click on a group another menu of the tags pop up at the top of the screen, why in 2 places??
Second, In previous version I could choose a group of different Tags and they would all show up. In PE11 if I pick a second Tag the picture screen gives a message "No Media To Be Displayed".
Third, To move from one Tag to another I have to go back and start over.
Is this a glitch in PE11 or am I missing something in the logic of Tags?

I am in total agreement that the old system was much better.
It depends on the profile of each user. I am quite sure the new interface was designed to please new users. That is true for the clear background, that is true for the combination of criteria. Statistics should show that the new division into views like people, events and places is quickly understood by the average user while the 'query' style combination of criteria is not.
Old users like me regret the old serious dark interface for color correction and the flexible, unobstrusive and powerful way to combine criteria in searches. There is nothing I have lost : I can still do what I was used to, but after a painful period of learning the new interface .
Let's face it : Adobe has chosen to please a wider amateur public. That helps maintening PSE in an affordable price and performance range to compete against new competitors. Advanced users still have the same power they had before. When they are no longer satisfied with the (amateur) changes, they now can convert to Lightroom (now affordable) and an older version of PSE. That's still a big change and learning curve !

I have re-installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer and imported the photos but how do I get albums and tags back?

My old computer died and I've installed my photoshop elements 10 on the new one and have imported all my photos. WHat I can't figure out is how to get my tags and albums back. I had a Norton backup of my old computer so all of the data is available. I just need help figuring out how to link it up with photoshop on the new computer. Anyone have experience with this issue?

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Photoshop Elements 10? What is going on?

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Elements 10. What is going on?

Thank you for the advice. I have a PC and the catalogs were for the most part where you said they would be, on the C drive under Program Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. The last six months folder as well as a cruise I took in 2012 is missing but the rest seems to be there. Now I seem to have two Organizers-the one I just found and the one I created with my March 2013 trip pictures. How do I put them together and find them when I click on the Photoshop elements Organizer icon? You mentioned “pointing “ PSE to it in the default mode? How do I do that?

Can my photoshop elements 10 "tags" be recognized in Revel ?

I have my photos organized by the dates that I assigned not when they were taken because they have gotten all messed up with transferring from one computer to a new one and also changing one photoshop elements to another. So when I put my photos in Revel they are all scrambled and in NO ORDER. I have grouped them in 3 year folders to help reduce the craziness I have also tagged the photos in photoshop and it would be nice to be able to organize the pictures in Revel with the tags also if I wanted. ie Europe trip. I have been transferring my photos from photoshop elements 10 to revel and I am wondering if my tags and dates that I assigned will transfer over If not now when.

Hi,
The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.
DNG Converter 8.7

Converting tags from V1 Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements v4?

I was able to convert my pictures from V1 Photoshop Album as well as the captions, however the tags do not seem to be converted to Photoshop Elements v4. I was told that by using Photoshop Elements v4 the tags would come over. Anyone have suggestions?

Thank you so much it worked - the only thing that didn't transfer was the folder pics I'd chosen for the tags so that didn't take long to redo - many thanks - I'd never have found that. It would have been so much more obvious if it showed 'open' or 'select catalogue' rather than just the word 'catalogue' with no other options visible from the dropdown menu.

Importing tags from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 5

I have had Photoshop Album 2.0.2 for several years and it currently holds the information of 13000+ tagged items. I have a detailed tagging system set up which I don't want to lose. I also have Photoshop Elements 5 and having just discovered that Photoshop Album is now discontinued I wanted to transfer my existing information into Elements.
I have spent some time trying varies options but cannot find the solution I want.
If I select a photo from file to import into Elements then the tagging information does not come with it.
If I export an image from Album to desktop and then import it into Elements no tags come with it.
If I email a photo from Album to myself then import that image it does come with the tags into Elements.
Obviously I can't email all 13000 images to myself to import them but can someone suggest how I can transfer this data - obviously the photos themselves don't need to move as both programmes only keep a link to the original location to the photos.
I'm not interested in using the online storage system but wonder if one solution might be to upload all my phots to that temporarily then reimport them to Elements.
Additionally is it possible to import my current tag structure rather than have imported tags all appearing under a 'imported tags' tag.
Any help grately appreciated.
Thanks
Gill

Face-tags in photoshop elements 8

In photoshop elements 8, are the "face tags" written" in the IPCT (or other metatags, like XMP), or are they only recorded in the database of PSE. Is it possible to insert them in the IPTC.
(Excuse-me for my bad English...)
Michlvill

the face tags or any nornal tag will not be written to the file, unless you explicitly mention by using Write Keywords tags to file option

Tagging TIFF-files in Photoshop Elements 5

I'am still using Photoshop Elements 5, but the organizer refuses to tag my TIF-files from a Nikon D 300 (tagging JPEG's is no problem). Because I would like to continue saving my edited pictures as TIFF-files, I would be glad, if anybody could give me a hint how to manage this problem.

1) NEF (RAW) + JPEG Fine. I load the NEF-file with the Editor into this opening frame (don't know it's name). After treating the picture there I choose "Open picture" (translated from German) and continue treating the picture with the Editor. At last I save it as a TIFF- or an JPEG-file.
2) Yes
3) After drawing the icon with the tag to the picture it is to be seen for about three seconds. If I choose a new category, this icon appears below the picture.
After this I choose "Save the tag- and featurecharacteristics with the photo" (translated from German) and get the answer: "The tag- and featurecharacteristics have been written into the file metadata" (translated from German).
If I load the photo/file into the Editor, there are tags/keywords within the files I before saved as JPEGs and no tags/keywords within the the files I before saved as TIFFs.

Transfering tags from Album 2.0 to Photoshop Elements 9.0

I'm trying transfer my pictures and tags to a new computer. the old platform was Win XP with Photoshop Album 2.0 (PA2) and the new computer is Win 7 64bit with Photoshop Elements 9.0. (PE9)
So far I have been successful in moving the photos to a directory on the new computer and I can view the photos in PE9. But the tags did not transfer to the new catalog.
I must be missing something basic. Is there an additional file that needs to be transfered to make the old tags work on PE9?
Looking forward to anyone's suggestions.
Cheers,
Andy

In theory, yes you can transfer tags from PSA2 to PSE9, however because of the large distance between the versions, sometimes the method fails.
The preferred method is to convert the PSA2 catalog file to PSE9. To do this, you need to create a backup using PSA2 (File->Backup Catalog), and then move everything from this backup to the new computer, launch PSE9, and then File->Restore Catalog. As I said, sometimes with older versions of PSE/PSA, the method fails, you won't know until you try it.
Another possibility (not really sure if PSA2 had this capability) is to have PSA2 write the tags to the individual photo files, then copy all the photos to the new computer and import to PSE9.

I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements. I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos). A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags. I said yes, and the process began. When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."
I've since tried to open organizer several times, but it goes immediately to "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working". I was able to open Editor, and tried opening Organizer from Editor, but encountered the same problem.
FYI, I have an open case (#0214505556), but have not received the help I need.

This issue is with respect to Elements 13.
