Copy/Paste Keyword Tag

I am using Elements 9 and I am trying to copy a Keyword Tag or a group of Keyword Tags from one picture to another rather than dragging each Keyword over to the new photo. Can someone help me with this?

Select the images to receive the tags.
Select the tag(s).
Right-click on one of the tags, and choose the "Attach" option:

Copy/Paste Keywords

Hello,
I´m migrating from Imatch to Lightroom.
In Imatch, I tagged all images with categories, but this was done on copies of the original files.
I have imported these copies into LR and the categories/keywords are OK.
But, in LR I would like to have the original files in my catalog, not the copies.
Is there any other way to copy/paste keywords between two files, than one by one?
The originals and copies have same filename, except that the copies have "-OK" in the end.
/Thomas

I'm pretty sure one of the functions of John Beardsworth's Lightroom plugin Syncomatic will sync from one to the other....you can download a demo and try (and the full version is only a few £ anyway)

Copy File From One Drive to Another & Missing Keyword Tags

Hi,
I use LR 2.7. I want to copy one file from one drive to another drive with the same file name. I thought you could drag the file, but it doesn't copy over the file in the other drive, can you explain what I have to do?
Also, I tried to import the folder into another drive, but it doesn't copy the keyword tags. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Barb

Hey Barb,
Well, if you use the Year/Month/Day/pictures_here format, none of the folders contains a massive amount of folders. It's not the number of folders that generates problems, it's having them all in _one_ folder that creates slow-down issues. Imagine if you had a deck of cards; look for one card... you have to go through all 52 cards to find it. But, if you broke it down into the 4 groups, you only have to go through 13, which is lots faster. Now imagine going through 15000 instead of 52...
Look at the way lightroom can automatically import by date; it has several preset formats. If you pick one of those, then when you import new photos, it will automatically create any missing ones, and you have lots less to do.
Depending on how much work you have already done, you might consider making a new catalog and just importing all of your photos again, and let it create everything quickly for you.
You could save all of your "edit" changes by writing out all of the xmp files first. But with 15000 files in one directory, this will double it to 30000 (one per image!), but will preserve all of your edits if you choose to make a new catalog approach.
As for combing catalogs, once you have one catalog the way you want it, you can select "import from catalog" and it will suck it into a new one, thus combining the catalogs. The only problem I can see is that it will import it in the format you already have it, so you have to organize it manually before you import it. Otherwise, you'll get your old format and your new format in the one catalog (but can then move pictures around if you need to).
Personally, I'd go the 'write xmp files, create new catalog' approach. Then just recreate my collections, etc.
But either way you do it, it will take some time processing, as that's a lot of files to start with!
Ciao!

Firefox removes href attribute from anchor tag on copy paste

Hi Support,
I have a text along with the image used as a hyperlink as follows.
"Sample Text.<a href="javascript:myfunction()"><img title="sample image" src="sample.gif" /></a>"
When i copy the above text and paste it inside a HTML Control (for e.g. iframe), the control removes the href attribute of 'anchor' tag. It happens only with firefox and safari. It is working correctly in internet explorer.
"Sample Text.<a ><img title="sample image" src="sample.gif" /></a>"
Is there any solution for this.? Awaiting for sooner response
Try clicking on the below link
http://screencast.com/t/sXq6BcZvJB

I tested this in Gmail compose, and what I see is: regular links (href="url") are preserved during copy/paste, but javascript links (href="javascript:") are dropped/cleared.
I don't know whether this is by design. One place to research that would be [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/].

Keyword Tag Copying Not Working

When I generate keywords for a photo, and I copy these keywords (CTL-C) then try to select multiple photos (SHIFT-RIGHT CLICK), then try to paste the keywords (CTL-V), I olny have the keywords pasted to the first photo, not all selected as it was in LR2.
I wonder if anyone else is having this problem. I cannot seem to add keywords to more than 1 photo at a time.
Thank you for your support.

I am in the Library Grid, Lightroom 3, Also I am using Windows 7.
I had no problems with this in LR2.
Thanks again.

CAN YOU COPY KEYWORD TAGGING HIERARCHY FROM ONE CATALOG TO ANOTHER?

I use PSE 9 and I HAVE SO MANY PICTURES THAT THE ORGANIZER RUNS SLOW. I want to split into 2 or 3 catalogs and use the same keyword tagging hierarchy in each catalog. I know how to write the tags to the picture files but when I do that and then load the split of pictures into a new catalog, all the tags are alpha without the the sub-catagory hierarchy that I'd set up in the original catalog. Can I get the same tagging in each catalog and/or start a new catalog that has the same keyword tag hierarchy?

In your old catalog:
Show the Keyword Tags panel.
Click the green plus sign.
Choose "Save Keyword Tags to File".
In your new catalog, before importing any photos, repeat steps 1 & 2, then choose "From File". That will import your keyword tags with the hierarchy intact.

COPY KEYWORD TAGS TO ANOTHER PC

I have PSE11 on both main PC and laptop. The PC is the main computer and has all of our keyword tags. The laptop is used to maniuplate images when we can't access the main PC and then transfer them to the PC later. As we wish to tag photos on the laptop before we transfer them is there a way of duplicating the keyword tags on both computers without having to re-enter them individually? I recall that in previous versions of PSE we could save tags to file, but I can't see how to do this in PSE11. Many thanks.

You can now do this in the metadata panel in PSE 11. If you select a thumbnail in Organizer and click the three small dots it will bring up a dialog for the metadata fields. To add information to many photos all at once, select all the thumbnails, click the information tab and then click the button marked Add IPTC information. You can then choose to append new information to all of the selected items or to overwrite.

Copy/Paste Settings mystery?

OK. I've searched this forum and either haven't used the appropriate phrase or it's just not covered.
I have tried and tried to use "Develop > Copy Settings..." and "Develop > Paste Settings" to transfer various settings from one image to one or more other images in the Develop module. No go.
I have also tried the "Sync..." button in the Develop Module and THAT doesn't work as expected.
The *only* way that appears to work is to change to "Auto Sync..." and work from there.
Now, please, before someone says this is a 'design feature' save your breath. If what I see is correct, then this is a bug. If I'm missing something then please educate me.
Thanks,
Bob Peters

LR is using Ctrl-C or Ctrl-V only for editing text in Keywords, Metadata, etc., it seems. There is no reason not to also use it for image changes as well. It only requires LR check what was selected before the key combination: text in a field? Or an image from filmstrip or grid?
As there are already ways of copying/templating text for metadata, keywords, etc. such as Sync button, dragging/drop keyword tags, assignment at import,etc. I'm guessing that copying and pasting changes to image are a good additional and logical use for Ctrl/Cmd-C and Ctrl/Cmd-V.
I disagree with your comparison to MS Office applications. Images in LR are like Powerpoint slides that you receive and edit via MS Powerpoint. There are direct analogs in Powerpoint for LR metaphors: slide sorter (grid), slide outline (filmstrip), slide master formats (develop pre-sets), and on and on... including inserting/updating/deleting/copying/pasting modifications
Copy and Paste of image edits should be as straightforward as RSP and Office and the most logical action for Ctrl/Cmd-C and -V ... especially because it was so elegant in RSP, the developer(s) of which Adobe brought onto the LR team.
Nothing wrong with modifiers keys (shift, alt, etc.) for the lesser used contexts of Copy and Paste operations, but get the most important/frequently used contexts using the fewest keys!
The more I use 1.0 version of LR in trial, the more convinced I am that it's still rough around the edges and a half-step backwards in productivity compared to my current workflow, though I see it's potential. I'm probably going to wait for 1.5 or Service Pack 1 or whatever the next update release is and re-evaluate then.
I think LR needs to be a little more flexible to better work the way individual photographers would like it to work instead of (what seems to be) imposing a more rigid, uniform discipline on the way all LR users work.
"Your mileage may vary".

Moving Keyword Tags

I imported 30,000 pictures into an upgraded version of Photoshop Elements 12 on a new lap top. All my keyword tags imported, but they all ended up under Keywords Section in a subfolder called Imported Keyword Tags. In the old version I could slide the tags from one category to another. I can't in the new version. How can I do this?

First, the best way to move to another computer and upgrade at the same time is to use the backup / restore process:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
That process is recommended because:
- It creates a backup : (you would have to create one anyway for such a big move)
- It flexibly copies your media files while keeping the folder tree even if you are changing OS version (You would have to do the copy anyway)
- it automatically converts the catalog format to the new PSE version if needed
- it lets you choose a 'custom' destination (drive or master folder)
- You don't have your problem with categories, since the catalog is converted.
Secondly, if for some reason you decide to copy your folder tree externally on the new computer and re-import on a new empty catalog, you should:
- write metadata to files (I think that's what you have done)
- Copy the tags and categories structure to a text file from the old computer, then paste it in the new empty catalog (categories menu). That way, most imported keywords would be found in the correct category instead of in the 'imported keywords' one.
Third, you can move your tags between categories just like in older versions...
except, (fourth ) that since PSES11, the interface and keyword categories have changed with the introduction of new panels : people, events and places. (I have chosen not to use those novelties by renaming those default categories with synonyms before doing the transfer).

Write keyword tag information into your files

Hi!
I have just installed Photoshop Elements10 and a problem has occured!
When writing keyword tag information into files the letters Å, Å and Ö creates problems.
If you for example try to add the tag "Montören" the result is that the word is written two times in the file properties, including once with weird characters, Example: Montören; MontÃ¶ren;.I have tried with different tags that includes letters Å, Ä and Ö and I allways get the same result. I have a Swedish version of Photoshop Elements10.
Can someone advise me on what to?
/Viveka

How did you originally create your tag? For testing, I just created an Instant Keyword Tag containg the letters ÅÄ by copying and pasting pasting the characters from the Character Map, assigned it to a photo, wrote the tag to the file.
The letters do display correctly in the Organizer afterward. Same in IPTC info in IrfanView.

How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

Getting rid of Multiple Spaces in Code View (after Copying/Pasting)

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to get rid of multiple spaces between words in Dreamweaver CS3's code view.
Oftentimes, when I copy/paste text from elsewhere (e-mail, website, etc), the Dreamweaver code shows up with multiple spaces. Normally, that wouldn't be problem -- except that my blog's auto-tag plug-in doesn't detect selected phrases when there are multiple spaces between words, e.g., it'll detect "Swiss Alps" in a post but not "Swiss Alps" (notice the extra space between words in the second phrase).
If at all possible, I'd like to be able to keep Dreamweaver's text formatting option when I copy and paste, as that means I don't need to manually put words in bold/italics.So, is there a way to keep that option while getting rid of all the extra spacing between words?
By the way, I'm familiar with Wordpress CSS, but not with Dreamweaver CSS. Not sure if there's any difference.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I make it a point to never paste formatted text into HTML pages. Formatted text from MS Office usually contains a variety of junk you don't want and I don't have that much faith in MS Word code removal tools.
Bold and Italics from Word or Outlook should be changed to current HTML tags of <strong> for bold and <em> or emphasis for italics anyway. Also see Logical Tags here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/logical.html
Find and replace is good for removing whitespace if you know how to do it correctly. Make backup copies just in case things go wrong. http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/whitespace.asp

Acrobat 9 PRO windows help.. copy paste for dummy

Help...please
I open pdf documents, highlight the text, copy and paste into MS Word or other programs and the text spacing is all messed up. There are spaces between letters in words. How do I paste, copy or whatever? I want the copied pdf to look exactly the same in the created file that it is pasted into. If you can help, I'll need detailed instructions, my expertise is not computer stuff.
Very specifically, I'm a student and am allowed to convert lessons and lectures from text to voice to listen instead of reading all day. The NaturalSpeaker program works great on Word documents, email, and everything except pdf files. It will work on them too ifI remove the thousands of spaces that appear after pasting in the program or a word document.
Thanks.

Hi,
You are in something of pickle.
Not due to you or Acrobat.
Unfortunately, whomever provides the PDFs you are using appears to have failed to deliver a well-formed Tagged PDF from an appropriate authoring application having adequate tag management.
Tagged PDF is, by design (see ISO 32000-1), capable of supporting use of assistive technology applications, export of content (copy-paste is a sub-set of this) to Word (with layout - format- font info retained/provide), and reflow on mobile devices (tablets, smart phones, eBook readers).
Of course, the AT application authors have to hold up their end by releasing applications that behave properly with regards to the ISO Standard.
As PDF is very much a different format than that of a word processor the "copy-paste" of content does not behave in the manner we are all familiar with when doing this with a word processor file format.
Acrobat X provides a much more robust export to MS Word of untagged PDF content than that provided by previous versions.
Regardless, a well-formed Tagged PDF is usable by AT and Adobe Reader.
Lacking a "proper" PDF you could use Acrobat Pro 9 to add tags to the PDFs.
Then, export to Word or RTF.
Or, save as to accessible text.
Work this over with Word.
Be well...

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.
