Events Tag in Elements 12

I have been using Elements since I started with Elements 8.  I have 16000 photos.  I created my own events like Christmas, Birth, Wedding, Graduation, etc - about 50 of them or so.  When I imported my files into Elements 12, it took those events but it won't let me add new ones of my own choosing.  The video does an excellent job of explaining how the new Events tag works but doesn't explain how to create new personalized ones.  I don't want Events by date or time.  Who was the genius who decided to throw away compatibility with previous versions?  I realize that I can create my own tags under the Keyword tags but, as I mentioned, I have 16,000 pictures so far and Elements accepted MY events from previous versions.  There needs to be another option to allow "personalized" events along with the new Events forced on us in Elements 12.

See my reply to your Places post. Renaming 'Events' in PSE8 to 'My Events' and reconverting will let you continue with the old method.
Cheers,
Neale

  • New group in event tags

    How do I create a new group in the event tags. I want to have Princess Papooses as the event and Lopez Lake as a group under Princess papooses.
    Just like catagory then sub catagory in the Keyword area.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Simply ignore the default 'Events' category, at least for that particular event. Just create a standard category with sub-categories and keywords just like in older Elements versions in the right keyword panel. Alternatively, you could create albums under and album category. That's the way to go if you want more organization like selections and custom order of your files in the sub-albums.

  • Places Tagging in Elements 12

    I converted all of my 16,000 photos from Elements 8 to Elements 12.  In Elements 8, I made up my own "Places" set of tags -- about 500 of them.  Not all places are mappable.  If I don't have an exact location, I may have to put something like Virginia.  Many of the photos have been scanned in at high resolution because I only have the old photo and I may not know the exact location.  Some locations change - new restaurant or winery name.  Elements 8 gave me the ability to search and find places on a map but with 16,000 photos and 500+ places, that was not practical.  When I imported my "Place" tags into Elements 12, it accepted them - fabulous!  Thank you.  But then when I went to add a new "Places" tag to MY list, I was forced to use the mapping function.  Have any of your programmers heard of backward compatibility?  This is incredibly annoying!  Having the new type of tagging function is fine but PLEASE give another alternative to allow custom "Place" tags.  I am sorry I bought the new version because of this.  Also, I realized that the general "Keyword" tag structure allows me to build customized tags but did I mention that I have 16,000 photos already tagged with over 500 personalized "Place" tags  - your accepted my tags and preserved months of work - JUST GIVE ME A WAY TO ADD MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not me. I, like most of the people on this forum, am just a regular user (nothing to do with Adobe) trying to help others out.
    I don't know of any way of doing what you are asking. The catalog itself is an sqlite database so if you know any sqlite experts they may be able to compare the two structures (the format has change between each release because of new features) and see if they can feed back the v12 changes to your v8 catalog.

  • Event tags not recognized in 11

    I upgraded from 7 to 11. 11 recognized my people tags, but not my event tags. I have 9484 pictures without any event tags. What do I do now?
    Thanks

    Events are new in PSE11. Were you previously using keywords for your events?
    If so check imported keywords.

  • What about iCal event tagging for better event organization ?

    Actually, it is possible to create several calendars (e.g., Work, Personal, Kids, ...) to organize your events.
    Then, you can choose to simultaneously view events of one or many calendars.
    But what about a more flexible tagging mechanism ?
    We would be able to multi-tag an event.
    Then, we would be able to simultaneously view events that match some tags and not some other tags.
    We would be able to create intelligent calendar views that simultaneously display events that match some tags and not some other tags.
    Tagging is a feature provided today by iPhoto for photos.
    Intelligent view based on a expression is a feature provided today by iTunes for musics.
    It would be nice to generalize these concepts
    Is there any plan to introduce event tagging in iCal ?

    This is what I think it means:
    "Depending on whether you want the event type to be deactivated when its listeners have acknowledged receipt of the event, select either Upon Notification or Never."
    I think deactivate the event means, it's not available anymore on the queue. You can ensure it doesn't stay on the queue after you catch it (Upon Notification), or you can catch it and then deactivate (or remove it from the queue) manually using your own service.
    "For example, you might select Never if a service is handling the notification and any deactivation of the event type."
    I think that what they mean here. If you select "Never" then, you catch the event, and you're responsible to deactivate it (remove it from the queue).

  • How do I transfer all tags from Elements 8 to 11?

    How do I transfer all tags from Elements 8 to 11? Only part of the tags transferred for elements 8 to 11. I'm using Windows 7.

    It depends...
    If you are still on the same computer and OS, the Organizer in PSE11 (or PSE12) will be able to convert the old catalog to its own format, while keeping the old catalog unchanged.
    If you are changing computer, drive or OS, the best method is via a full backup and restore:

  • How do I Change sub category to a key word tag in Elements 6. When I right click the sub category is the possibility to change not selectable

    I want to change a sub category to a key word tag in Elements 6. When I right click the sub category is the possibility to change not selectable. How to do it?

    If you want to change the category you need to change the feed, which means changing it in WordPress. You need to pick one category and, if there is one, one sub-category from the official list here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
    It is possible to have further categories, though I don't know whether WordPress will allow that, but you should put the most relevant one in first.
    Once you've amended it simply re-upload the feed and wait for the Store to catch up. You don't need to resubmit.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • How to unmarshall list tags/unbounded elements using jax-ws auto generated classes in weblogic 12c

    hi
    i have a need wherein i need to create/host jax-ws webservice ( starting from wsdl) and in that service translate the xml using xsl to a different structure and call another webservice hosted to another server ( non-weblogic).
    so my approach is as soon as request comes to the service impl, i marshal the object to a xml then apply the required xsl transformation and then unmarshal the transformed xml to the object which can be used to trigger another webservice.
    This approach works fine for the xmls without list tags/unbounded elements , however it gives marshal exception whenever the xmls has list/unbounded elements.
    i am using jaxb and jax-ws generated class for marshalling and unmarshalling.
    so need some help on how to deal in this scenario?
    any help is appreciated

  • How to import photos containing a tag from elements?

    how to import photos containing a tag from adobe elements 8?

    Tags are keywords.
    Other metadata:
    There is no way to share Faces from one system to another. Places will happen automatically if your photos have the gps co-ordinates in the Metadata. Events are populted depending on the choices you make in the iPhoto Preferences.
    Again, I'm not sure exactly what you're hoping for here, sorry.

  • Tags in Elements 11

    The names of  tags imported into Elements 11 from 4 show on the right of the screen. However they only show the taggged files when I click on one when I am in the Albums view on the left of the screen not when I am in the folder view?
    Am very new to 11, can anyone explain why this is?
    Thanks

    Can you give more details on the issue or share the snapshot of the Organizer depicting the issue ?

  • How to organize Places tags in Elements 12

    Hi
    I have assigned pictures to several different locations in Colorado using the Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer. Most of these locations are listed under "Colorado" category but one location persistantly lists under "CO". I have the same issue with "Utah" and "UT".
    I can rename the "CO" to "Colorado" but then I have two cateogories of "Colorado" when I would like all the locations in Colorado to be listed under the same category. I have deleted and reasigned without sucess.
    Is there a way to edit these tag names so that they nest appropriately? Maybe a 'work around' or something?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Use one of the selection tools to select the foreground.
    Place the foreground on a separate layer (CTRL+J)
    Place a blank layer between the background layer and the layer with the foreground, then fill it with color, patterns, or anything that you want.

  • Tags in Elements

    Just upgraded both PC and Elements 5 to 9.When I imported the picture files into the organiser in Elements 9, only a very small number of tags were imported. There were also only a few picture files in each imported tag as well, where there should have been many.
    Any ideas as to how I can get them all in? There are ~20,000 images, I don't want tp have to re tag them all!

    All your tags are kept in the old PSE5 catalog. Part of them have been written  into the files themselves, but to get them all, you would have had to 'write metadata to files' from the organizer.
    The normal way to update your catalog to a new PSE version and new computer is described here:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1
    So, do you still have your old computer (or old disk drive) available ?
    Depending on your anwer, it will be possible to guide you to recover your PSE5 data.
