Elements 12 -- Lightroom 5: Tags-Import-Probleme

Hallo Pros, anbei einige Fragen zu Elements 12 und Lighroom 5 (unter Win8.1), zu denen ich keine Antworten googlen konnte:
Grund der Veränderung: Neuer PC, jetzt Win8.1 und zukünftig mehr Arbeit mit RAWs. Zudem möchte ich die Ordnerstruktur der Festplatte übernehmen (statt gleiches nochmal als lokale Alben anzulegen - wie ich es als Anfänger gemacht habe).
Zu Elements:
Wenn ich den alten Katalog auf dem neuen PC übernehme ist weitgehend alles beim Alten, außer dass die Personen im einzelnen Foto nicht mehr mit den Quadraten/Namen identifiziert sind. Das ist vor allem bei Gruppenphotos nervig, wo man die Namen doch gerne den Gesichter zuordnet.
Frage 1: Wie lässt sich diese Zuordnung wieder herstellen, oder "richtig" importieren.
Zu Elements und Lightroom:
Wenn die Bilder (mit abgespeicherten Tags) entsprechend der gegebenen Ordnerstruktur des neuen PCs neu importiert werden, sind alle Tags vorhanden. Die Baumstruktur und die Aufteilung in "Personen", "Stichworte" etc. ist hingegen futsch. Alle Tags sind "Stichworte" (nicht mehr "Personen, Ereignisse" etc.) und so findet sich eine ellenlange alphabetische Liste...
Auch wenn Elements-Katalog im ganzen nach Lightroom importiert wird, dann bleibt die Baumstruktur der Stichworte nur teilweise erhalten: bei Sonstiges. Hier findet sich jetzt ein chaotischer Unterordner: Importierte Stichwort-Tags mit den ehemaligen "Personen" "Orten" und "Ereignissen". Die Baumstruktur und Differenzierung scheint nicht in den Bildinformationen abgespeichert, aber muss ja irgendwo "in Elements gespeichert sein".
Frage 2: gibt es eine Möglichkeit diese Informationen (Baumstruktur der Stichworte, Oberbegriffe: Orte, Personen etc.) von Elements nach Elements und von Elements nach Lightroom "zu importieren"? Gibt es hier notwendige Voreinstellungen bei Elements oder Lightroom? (Überdies: auch bei LR wäre die "quadratische" Personenzuordnung wünschenswert.)
Für Tipps und Links wäre ich Euch sehr dankbar
Kommklaus

Hallound herzlichen Dank
Ich habe etwas experimentiert.
Bei DNG kann ich in Elements Personen markieren und alles speichern.
Leider funktioniert das bei Lightroom 5 mit Elements 12 nach Import nicht ganz so auf.
Zwar werden alle Metadaten importiert, alle jedoch als gleichwertige Stichworte. Die Ordnerstruktur Ereignisse, Personen, Orte, geht verloren.
Auch die Personenmarkierung geht verloren. Die Ornerstruktur bleibt nur bei den Stichworten erhalten, die auch unter Elements "Stichworte" heißen,
Baben Sie Rat?
Grüße Kommklaus

Tag Import problem x LR1.4 and Catalogue 2.0

Hi all,
I got a problem during import Catalogue 2.0, my 31000 pictues have been correctly imported in LR1.4, key words also, but I lost all tags on my pictures ( relatonship between Keywords and pictues)
Is there anybody meet this problem ?
Thank a lot for your help

The problem with rotating images remains. It is so slow as to be virtually unusable - slight changes are pretty much impossible to achieve as the feedback is so bad.
I have tried making all the changes to the nVidia settings as described in other posts and there is no difference to performance. I have also updated to the latest graphics drivers. Version 2.1 of Lightroom also makes no difference.
I installed Lightroom on my new laptop, which is a dual 2.1GHz with 2GB RAM, runs Vista32 and has onboard Intel graphics, and the rotate function is fluid and immediate, great to use. So
Does anyone else get this problem? Is anyone else using a Quadro FX 1700? I can find no other mention of this issue on the forums. Any other suggestions gratefully received - I'm getting so frustrated trying to use the software.

Renaming files in Lightroom 3 Upon Import (problems)

I can having trouble importing files into Lightroom name where I want to custom name them - sequentially. I am importing the data from one folder on my hard drive to the folder that contains all of my lightroom files. I am able to import and rename some files in folders with ease. Others I am told Lightroom 3 couldn't name them. Why? If I try to import and rename in LR2 I have no problems. I am basically taking a Nikon generated file, say DSC0001.NEF and renaming it to Ireland 07-30-08.NEF. Lightroom 3 can't do it. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

Hi Franz,
Let me clarify a couple things (I hope Adobe is listening):
1.     I am merely copying and renaming on import. I am not moving the original files.
2.     Files are created in my TO: directory, they just contain the origianl filename.
3.     I tried the exact same procedure with LR2 and it works fine.
It appears there may be a bug in the software.

Lightroom 5.4 Canon partial import problem (CR2s)

Hello,
I have Lightroom 5.4 on a Windows 8.1 system x64. My camera is a Canon 50D that's several years old.( i.e. not a brand new camera import problem)
When I plug my camera into my computer via the USB cable and try to import images into a Lightroom catalog, Lightroom will recognize and import jpgs, but it does not even see CR2 files. No errors, no thumbnails. It's like they are not there. If I capture a single image as both a jpg and CR2 simultaneously it will only see the jpg and not the CR2.
If I open the Canon EOS Utility it sees any and all images (CR2's included).
I've read a few posts so to help narrow it down:
1) I have write access to the folder (b/c I can import the jpgs.).
2) My Windows system does not recognize the CR2 files in an exporer window if they are still on the camera (to be specific, it sees that there are files, just not the type and no thumbnail. Not even a properties option with right click). I can't pull the files directly off the camera with my computer only with the Canon app. I have the latest camera codec pack put out by Microsoft KB2899190 from 12/9/2013.
3) Once the CR2's are on my computer via the Canon EOS app they are viewable in Expolorer (thumbnails) and can be imported into Lightroom.
4) I have cleared and reformatted the flash card (more than once). Rebooted and powered down the PC and Camera multiple times (removed camera batt. and Unplugged PC).
5) As of time of this post Lightroom is up to date.
I believe there is some communication issue with my camera and this particular PC setup. My wife's computer does not have this issue (she has Vista). When she plugs in the camera the thumbnails pop up in an explorer window for her right away.
Thoughts?
Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, for many people. Recent versions of Lightroom in particular seem to be quite fickle when trying to import directly from camera, and the "fix" in virtually all cases is to use a card reader.

Lightroom 5 - Import Problems

Hi
I am having trouble importing RAW CR2 files from Canon 5D and 7D into Lightroom.
Some / half of the files will import from the memory card, but at some point in the import process I get an error message that reads "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read" . Then I am unable to import the remaining files at all.
I'm running Lightroom 5 on OSX 10.8.
I have been getting this problem for the past 6 weeks. Usually If I shut down Lightroom, restart computer and begin the imprt process again, this second import will work fine. I put it down as a bug that wasn't a big deal, because after 2 or 3 import attempts everything would be OK.
But now Lightroom won't import my final 130 images at all.
I have read several other threads on this foum, and so far I have
- deleted the Lightrom preference file (it didn't work)
- tried different USB ports, cables and card readers (it didn't work)
- checked my permissions on the destination folder and disk, and confirmed that they are "Read and Write"
I don't think the files are the problem as I have been able to import 400 of the 600 RAW files from the memory card so far.
If anyone has any ideas that would be much apprciated!
Thanks

OpenTrans 2.1 .xsd import problem into PI 7.1

Hello,
While trying to import the latest version 2.1 of openTrans .xsd Files (I downloaded "openTRANS_2.1_german_all-in-one_package.zip") into PI 7.1 we fail. Error message while loading the file "opentrans_2_1.xsd" is:
Unable to convert imported document to WSDL
Reason:
Unable to recognize document as valid XSDCheck selected category
OpenTrans 1.0 we have already in use since several time, however there is a need for the latest version now.
Has anybody managed to get openTrans 2.1 to work with PI 7.1? And if so - how?
Thanks!
Andreas

Hello Andreas
This error can occur if there is an element tag with the name XML, e.g.: <xsd:element name="xml">. If the element name is something other than xml, e.g. <xsd:element name="test">, then the import should be ok.
SAP does not allow the element name in an XSD to start with the prefix - xml
This conforms to the xml schema standards set by W3C i.e. http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_elements.asp
-> XML Naming Rules section.
Also, check note #1255351 External Defintion - XSD Checks Problem

Elements vs. lightroom vs bridge

I would like to know the purposes of elements vs. lightroom vs bridge. I am currently using bridge and elements (CS3) and plan on upgrading to CC2014 soon.
All of my tagging etc was done in Elements, but don't seem to be visible in bridge... If I understand correctly, Photoshop CC2014 includes bridge, abd the Photographer Package includes Photoshop and Lightroom.
My questions are:
1) Will my tags that are in my elements import into Lightroom?
2) What is the purposes of Lightroom vs. Bridge?
Any clarification would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

It depends on what you want to do. Bridge is a browser, not an image management system, which allows keywording and raw processing. Lightroom is a fancier image management system than the organizer, with very good raw processing built in, and yes, you can set PSE as your external editor from LR.
I'd just give bridge and LR a try and see which your prefer. Personally, I prefer to retain control of my photos myself, so I like bridge, but there are many people who infinitely prefer LR. It's all a question of how you like to work.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
"It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
Tony

Tony,
Here's something you might try:
Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
Let us know how you make out.

I keep getting the error: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error" when trying to import from a catalog?

I have around 400,000 photos of 15 years so given the high number, I organized all my photos into 6 catalogs to avoid potential problems. All the photos and the catalogs are in a 4TB Seagate external hard drive. I use Adobe Lightroom 5 and I use a PC with the latest Windows Office 2013.
I wanted to have a NEW Catalog of all my rated 1 Star+ photos of all the years in a single Catalog. So I created what I called Star+ Catalog and I was told the best option is to import a Catalog at a time and given that there is no means to filter importing only Stared photos, I would import all the photos and then delete all the UnStared photos. I did that for Catalog Year 2014 but at the end gave me the message: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error". It actually had imported around 40k photos from about 50k total. I tried again and again and every time I end up with the same thing. I created another new Catalog and stared from scratch and the same ting happened: the ONLY EXACT 40k or so photos were imported and the rest were not!! When I imported Catalog Year 2013 of around 45k photos, it worked perfectly. But when I imported Catalog Year 2012 of 35k photos, the same thing happened!!
I then tried exporting the needed photos to a new Catalog and that worked. But then when I try to import them again from my Master *+ Catalog I get the same error again!!
I also tried creating a new Master *+ Catalog and tried to import the Catalogs of each year into it and the same error happened again!!!
Any advice: 1) on how to solve this? and 2) if there is a better and easier way to create this Master Catalog of All Stared Photos of All my Catalogs?

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update?
If not, please do so.
Please clarify "Can't add files filmed in 1080/60i to Premiere Elements 12."
Are you importing the 1080 60i into the project using (Expert workspace) Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets?
If so, are you getting an error message inside of the video appearing in Project Assets?
Are you setting the project preset manually or letting the program do that task automatically?
What is the project preset?
(See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General).
The project preset should be, for your 1080i...
NTSC

LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2". I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location. I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already: ssprengel, JayS In CT.
I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard. I run Lightroom on both of them. The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002]. Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop. I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3. On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2. No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop. I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module. I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy: c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010 but always get the same error message.
LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs. I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version. Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:
[[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog".
All of the following were using my laptop: Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions. I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3. I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3. I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder. Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said 'some import operations were not performed'). I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error. I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
In order to try to isolate the problem. I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card. I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3. I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting.
I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop. Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images). I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application. Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader. I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images. I have a couple of Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer. Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact). I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop. Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location." While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images. Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog. My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog. You will thus know which catalog you are working on.
Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D). While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom.
I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder. You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files. You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'. I have tried this routine successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x. If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

How to solve the error: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error" when trying to "import from catalog"?

I have around 400,000 photos of 15 years so given the high number, I organized all my photos into 6 catalogs to avoid potential problems. All the photos and the catalogs are in a 4TB Seagate external hard drive. I use Adobe Lightroom 5 and I use a PC with the latest Windows Office 2013.

When I imported Catalog Year 2013 of around 45k photos, it worked perfectly. But when I imported Catalog Year 2012 of 35k photos, the same thing happened!!
Any advice: 1) on how to solve this? and 2) if there is a better and easier way to create this Master Catalog of All Stared Photos of All my Catalogs?

OK, my starting point is that LR can happily contain 400000+ photos, and it's a mistake to create a 1 star plus catalogue as you suggest. Instead, I'd recommend you create a master catalogue of all your photos, which you can then query however you want - 2 star, or a certain keyword, or with "xyz" in the title etc.
If you are intent on going that way, you could try a slight change from what you've done so far. Instead of trying to import an entire catalogue and then delete no-star pictures, take the 2014 and 2012 catalogues and select only the 1 star photos. Then do an Export as Catalog for these items, and import the 2014-1star and 2012-1star into your new catalogue. That may get you past the problem images which I suspect are the problem.
If that doesn't work, or if you follow my initial advice, you're going to need to identify the image where the failure occurs. You may have a corrupt image file, and replacing it from your backup may be sufficient to resolve the problem. Alternatively, it may be a corrupt record in the catalogue, and in this case it may be sufficient to remove the image from the catalogue and import it again. You might try selecting everything in the 2014 catalogue and seeing if you can do an Export as Catalog, creating a clean 2014, and deleting 2014's previews folder might also get rid of a potential problem. Something else is to try the Export as Catalog for images 1-40000, then a second Export as Catalog for images 40002-50k.
So a few things you'll need to try, rather than a magic bullet, and a recommendation to change the underlying direction.

Lightroom Crash on Import with CS3 installed

The last two days, I have been importing fairly large shoots from CF cards with Lightroom (Yesterday 147, today 79). In both cases I have received the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.." message; twice today. I installed Photoshop CS3 Release yesterday and now I have Bridge trying to import the same set of photos. I noticed the Bridge import dialog today after LR crashed. By sending off the debug message and restarting LR I can finish the import eventualy. It shouldn't be this way and wasn't before I installed release CS3 (I had had LR and Beta CS3 on my machine with none of these problems.

Hi Holley,
Just back from a long weekend, hence the delay in replying..apologies.
Since I have now fixed the problem, I cant remember exactly how I sorted it, because I just stumbled through the various menus until I found the right solution! But, heres what I think I did:
Open TweakUI.
Open the drop down menu next to My Computer.
Click on Handlers.
In the window next to the menu, highlight Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer.
Click Edit.
Tick whichever boxes/tasks you would like to add to this folder. Obviously, the last one, Digital Images, will be one of them!
Click OK.
Thats it!
Note: There is no option to Take no Action. Once you have added any of the menu items, this option is added automatically by TweakUI.
Now, when you put a card in your card reader, the window should open with the option, Open folder to view files.
If this isnt working, reply and Ill try again.
HTH.

Here is a snippet from a discussion on another forum that includes a quote from Jeff Schewe, whom I consider to be a very good source for reliable information:
Look, I'll make it REAL simple...
TIFF = Good
PSD = Bad
PSD is now a bastardized file format that is NOT a good idea to use. Even the Photoshop engineers will tell you that PSD is no longer the Photoshop "native" file format. It has no advantages and many disadvantages over TIFF.
TIFF is publicly documented, PSD is not. That makes TIFF a preferred file format for the long term conservation of digital files.
And, let me be blunt, anybody who thinks PSD is "better" than TIFF is ignorant of the facts. If Adobewould let them, the Photoshop engineers would tell you to quit using PSD.

I replaced PC with MACbook, can I download my Elements and Lightroom or do I need to repurchase?

I replaced my PC which is broken and no longer usable with a new Macbook Pro. I would like to download my Elements and Lightroom in the Mac OS version. Can I do this or do I need to repurchase. I just bought the Elements in August 2014 and the Lightroom in 2013.
Thanks so much
Teresa

you do not need to re-purchase. both those are cross-platform products so you just download the mac installation files and use your mac serial numbers to install on your mac.
