Can I create "keyword list" from keywords in EXIF data?

Hi - I'm still a Mac and Aperture noob, so please excuse me if the question is dumb or ill-formed...
I used to use Photoshop Elements on a PC. I made pretty extensive use of "tags" (keywords, in Aperture lingo) for categorizing my photos. I wrote all the tags into the exif data of my photos, then copied everything over to Aperture.
Now, when I pull up an existing photo in Aperture browser, I can see the keywords that I already added. Great...but, is there a way to extract all the existing keywords from all my photos, and build a "library" of keywords that I can pick and choose from for tagging future photos?
Alternatively - if I could export a keyword list from Photoshop Elements (in txt or XML format, whatever) is there a way that I can import that into Aperture?
From the reading I've done so far, it seems like I have to manually enter keywords on each photo or do a batch update (and, again, manually enter them). I'd much prefer to have a list of keywords that I can scroll down, then just click to select. Is that asking too much of Aperture?

Welcome to the list and Mac's. Don't woory about your questions, veteran Mac and Aperture users here frequently post dumb and ill-formed questions.

I tried what you described to see what would happen. I opened an image in Preview and added a keyword to it (one I was sure wasn't in my Aperture) saved the file and imported into Aperture. The new keyword was bot in the EXIF data field of the image and in Apertures keyword list.
Are you familiar with the *Keywords HUD* (*Window->Show Keyword HUD*)? If you look there do you see your keywords from your imported images?
Alternatively - if I could export a keyword list from Photoshop Elements (in txt or XML format, whatever) is there a way that I can import that into Aperture?
There is a way to import and export keywords see *+Exporting and Importing Keyword Lists+* in the +Aperture Users Manual+ (get to it by *Help->Aperture Help*)

Not at all, ask away (you may not always like the answer )

  • How can I create a list from the e-mail addresses "To:" field of an e-mail?

    Is there a way to automatically create a mailing list from a list of people who have received an e-mail? I know how to create a list manually, but there are a lot of e-mail addresses, so this would be an incredibly tedious process.

  • Can we create a list item as a data block item?

    Hi,
    I have changed a text item to list item on the data block.
    This list item used to get populated when it was control block item, but after i changed it to data block item, it's not getting populated.
    My question is, can we create a list item(poplist) as a data block item?
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance
    R.G

    Hi
    When you use ctl blocks data dose not fetch from Database. But in data blocks it get fetches when you execute query. So you have to make sure table column values are matching with the List Box values you have given.
    So please check table values.

  • How can I move my keyword list from cs3 bridge into cs5 !

    I am tring to move my keyword list from my old vista computer runnung CS3 into
    my new windows 7 computer with CS5.

    You should not have to do this.  Keywords are stored on the image and should be there on both versions.
    If one wants to moove the whole list and not wait for all the files to be re-indexed, it is is user/app data/roaming/adobe/bridge or something close to this.

  • Importing keyword list from Photoshop CS1 is possible

    Amongst all this gloom on a more positive note I thought people might be interested to know that I have successfully managed to import my long keywords list from Photoshop CS1 into the keywords hud. It is fiddly and I'm sure there must be a more graceful way of doing it but I got there in the end.
    There are two buttons bottom right of the keyword hud - import and export - for which I have found no documentation in the manual however I tried export and it exported the keyword list as a text document. If you find your Photoshop CS keyword pref file which is by default kept in : user name / library / preferences / Adobe Photoshop CS settings / Keywords.psp, you can open it with text edit. You then have to fiddle around with the formatting which I did by copying it into a word processing app and using find and replace so that I ended up with a tabbed list which followed the same format as the exported aperture text list. I then pasted it into the aperture list and after a bit more fiddling around was then able to use the import button on the hud to bring in my entire list as it appeared in Filebrowser.
    Fingers crossed!
    Best wishes

    How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
    The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

    Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

  • Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
    I will appreciate your assistance.

  • How can i create proxy service from another proxy on different domain

    i have a demo webservice. it has many operations on proxy service's message flow. How can i create proxy service from demo's wsdl on different domain
    Edited by: fresh man on Jul 1, 2012 11:17 PM

    You can either export the WSDL in a sbconfig.jar and then import this sbconfig.jar in the new domain. Then you can create a new Proxy in new domain based on the WSDL you imported.
    Alternatively, you can open the WSDL in the old domain, copy the text content of WSDL, then open new domain sbconsole and create a new WSDL type resource and paste the content you copied from old domain WSDL here. Then you can create a new Proxy Service based on this WSDL resource you created.
    Although, may I ask why do you need to create this new Proxy Service on a different domain? If you want to create a service similar to existing Proxy Service on different domain, then you can export the existing proxy service along with any dependencies to a sbconfig.jar and them import them in any other domain.
    If you want your new Proxy Service to invoke the existing Proxy on different domain, then you need to create a Business Service in the new domain (calling domain) which can invoke your existing Proxy service in other domain.
