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.

How do I convert photos from P/shop Album 2 to Elements 8

I have all our photos on Photoshop Album 2 on a computer running on Windows XP. I have purchased a new computer with Windows 7 and also Photoshop Elements 8. Can I transfer photos to new computer and Elements 8 while keeping categories, tags etc? It doesn't seem to want to do that. I am so frustrated that I am thinking of starting over again using Picasa. It seems to offer a better approach. I loaded Photoshop Album 2 onto new computer, but the photos didn't transfer effectively.
Walter

Install PSE 8 on the old computer, convert the PSA 2 catalog to PSE 8 format, and then use the PSE 8 Backup/Restore commands to move the catalog and all your photos from the old computer to the new computer. For details, see:

Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Phtoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today. It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10. I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

Convert Catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13

Hello Community!
I've searched for this question in Google, but I didn't find an answer that helped me.
The old computer from my client with Windows XP OS is getting replaced by a new one with Windows 7.
There was Adobe Photoshop Album on the old one which isn't supported anymore. My client had over 15'000 pictures on his old PC which I've already copied on the new computer. Now he wants his albums, tags and these things from Adobe Photoshop Album back, so I decided to install Photoshop Elements 13 because of the Elements Organizer tool.
Now I've seen answers in forums that sayed that all these informations are saved in the "My Albums.psa" Catalog file, which I've already found on the old computer and copied on the new one. Some people sayed it would work with the "convert" option in PSE, but this doesn't work for me, because PSE doesn't see the .psa file. So I tried to convert my .psa file with this Tool, but in the middle of the progress it says that it failed and that I should try to repair the file in PSE. I'm now stuck here, with several different solutions, and yet I don't know what to do now.
I've read something about the folder structure and that the pictures and folders have to be on the harddisk when trying to convert the .psa file. All pictures are on the new computer, but of course the folders aren't the same on the new OS.
It would be glad if I find a solution as soon as possible from someone in the community.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Finally I could solve the problem.
I tried to import the Backup.tly in Photoshop Elements, but without success. Even there an Error appeared. The conversion tool also still got this failure at a progress of 15% conversion... So I searched a reason for the failure in google and found this helpful article from Adobe. It says that you should look for the corrupt images in the log file. So did I, and I found the error causing picture on the old computer and deleted it. After that I opened Photoshop Album, clicked on "File > Reconnect all missing files" and deleted this picture from the catalog.
Now I didn't want to make the backup again, because the last nearly had 1h. So I decided to try it again by just copying the catalog.psa from the old computer to the new one and to convert it again with the conversion tool. The error came again, but at a progress of 22% So i had to do this a few times: Searching the corrupt image in the log file, deleting it on the old computer, deleting the missing file in Photoshop Album and converting it. And finally, it worked, no error after conversion! I let photoshop elements 13 open the new .pse13 file. Now, all tags and albums were back on Photoshop Elements. Eventually, I let the programm searching the new paths of all the images. It takes a time but it works great now. Thanks for your help, I would recommend the Adobe Community & support!

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

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.

Importing Photos From Photoshop Album To Photoshop Elements 9

I recently transfered about 14,000 photos from Adobe Photoshop Album into a new computer with Photoshop Elements 9 installed. In Photoshop Album, I often edited my photos and saved the originals. However, only the edited version appeared on the organizer screen. With Photoshop Elements installed, a thumbnail appeared for each Album-edited photo on the organizer screen as a version set with tags and photo description in place but no image. In most cases clicking on the black right-pointed arrow brings up another imageless box (to the right of the previous thumbnail) that is identical to the first one, tags and all. In a few other cases, the edited image appears to the right with tags. The latter isn't too bad since I can delete the original imageless thumbnail from the organizer.
I have tried importing a couple of files of photos from the new hard drive into the organizer. I get the original which is tagged and the edited photos untagged. I want to be able to bring up my edited photos when I use certain keyword tags rather than the originals so don't have to hunt for them in the organizer. At the same time, I want to avoid having to retag several thousand edited photos. Can anyone help. Thanks for reading this message.

Hi Fred,
I don't recommend using this software for anything other than
cataloging. If you want to move your images you should consider
Photoshop Elements because it is meant to perform this activity. PSA SE
is just a little cataloging applet that would get really confused if you
even tried it. You would have to completely redo your catalog.
Cheers

Retrieving missing keyword tags from a previous version of Photoshop Elements

I just purchased an upgraded version of Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12, but after all my photos were converted to the new version, all of my keyword tags from the previous version are not showing. How do I retrieve them?

Thank you so much. I had tried to use both of those buttons, but I didn't know that I had to use them in that order in order for the tags to show up, and I couldn't find the answer in the Adobe help section, either. Looks like all my tags are there and the problem is solved. Thanks again.

Photoshop Album to Photoshop elements File size issue

I have used album v2 for a few years, and only import proxy files from off-line media (CD/DVD) to keep the backup file small which makes it easier to keep 2 computers on the same page..(15000 image files = 6GB) I make a backup to a portable drive monthly, and restore to 2nd pc.. etc
I have converted the catalogue into elements 9 succesfully, and it correctly points to the relevent discs if I need the full res files.
My question is.. Can I do this sort of import in Photoshop Elements 9? In album there was a check box for keeping the files off-line during import and to name the disc for reference , but I cant see this in elements... Perhaps I am missing something obvious..
Looking through the dialoge boxes, I wonder if you import the full res file, then move/copy to disc leaving behind the proxy...
I am on the trial, and dont want to buy if its not what I want..
Apologies if this topic is listed elsewhere.. I have looked, but cant find one..
Thanks for any pointers,

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today. It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10.

Re: transfer of photos created by dj_paige in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussion
In PSE10, you can try to convert your old starter edition catalog. First you have to find your old catalog, it probably has a file name that ends with psa so you need to search your computer for *.psa (you probably will have to tell Windows to search in hidden folders). Then, once you have found its location, in PSE10, File->Catalog->Convert and point it to this old catalog.
By the way, your photos are not stored in PSA Starter Edition 3. They are stored on your hard disk somewhere, wherever you put them. So you can always get to your photos that way if you want.

Trouble converting a catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album into Elements 9

I have looked all over and found instructions for converting a catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album into Photoshop Elements 9, but it does not see my catalog? I have tried selecting it by clicking "Find More Catalogs" and I select the folder containing the catalog but it does not show up and the option to "Show Previously Converted Catalogs" is disabled? I am quite frustrated, as the entire reason for purchasing Adobe Photoshop Elements was to be able to import my old Photoshop Album catalog. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestion, I have tried converting the catalog from the psa file as well as restoring from the psb (backup) file and neither one is working on my new computer. It partially converts the catalog from Photoshop Album (PSA) 2 but then all the file links are broken in Photoshop Elements (PSE) 9. I have about 10,000 photos in this catalog, so it is a lot of files. I still have my old computer so I tried installing PSE 9 on it and then it converted the PSA catalog fine, so I backup up the PSE 9 catalog on my old computer and tried doing a restore from this backup on my new computer and same thing, only some of the files come through.

Importing into bridge from photoshop album

Hi. I have Photoshop Album 2. As it is long outdated, I want to import all the tags, etc from the photos into Adobe Bridge. I have not found a way to do so.
From searching Adobe support, it appeared that the next best shot was to migrate the photos with tags into Photoshop.com. However, this also does not work as the instructions say to select to share to photoshop.com.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/870/cpsid_87065.html#main_How do I migrate my photographs in Adobe Photoshop Album to Photoshop.com?
This does not work because the photoshop album, does not offer the choice of sharing with photoshop.com, even after I tried every variety of adding that option in.
Can anyone please help me with this? I REALLY do not want to retag 10,000+ photos.
Thank you.

I know nothing about photoshop album. But I would first check to see how the key words are written in that program. In Photoshop elements, and Lightroom they are written to a database.
In PS elements one can select an option "write keyword and tags to photo". This will put the data on the image and can then be read by Bridge.
See it there is such an option for PS album.

Ugrade from Photoshop Album 3.2

Hello, I still use Adobe Photoshop Album 3.2 Starter Edition and think of upgrading to Photoshop Elements. If I do so, is the database of Photoshop Album (Tags, Albums,...) still available and usable in Elements? Am I loosing information available in Photoshop Album? Is Elements offering all features of Photoshop Album?
THX for Your answers

You can upgrade from Photoshop album 3.2 to Elements 11 successfully. No information gets lost in conversion process.

Kann mit Photoshop Album / Elements 3.0 keine neuen Kataloge generieren

Ich hatte mit Photoshop Album und jetzt Elements 3.0 dasselbe Problem:
Ich kann zwar mit Katalog / neu eine Katalogdatei anlegen. Wenn ich sie aber öffnen will, oder Elements (früher Album) aus dem Explorer mit dem neuen Katalog öffnen will, erscheint immer nur
ein Katalog". Was ist verstellt und wie ist dies zu korrigieren. U.a. ist "Mein Katalog" inzwischen so gross, dass vernünftiges Arbeiten nicht mehr möglich ist.
werner

> Wie schliesse ich denn einen Katalog vor dem Öffnen eines anderen?
Gar nicht. Wenn Du über "Datei > Katalog > Öffnen" einen neuen Katalog öffnest, wird der aktuelle automatisch "geschlossen" ...
> welchen noch leeren Katalog ich auch öffne, ich immer "Mein Katalog" erhalte.
Hm, das verstehe ich nicht ganz. Kannst Du näher erklären, was Du machst und was dann passiert?
