Find multiple tags in PE 4.0

I am using Photoshop Elements 4.0 in Windows XP pro to organize a large collection of photos. It's working great, with one exception.
I have tagged all 3000+ photos by location, event, people present and a couple of other classes of tags. I am trying to find by clicking on several of the tags (Perhaps Florida, fishing, Charlie).
When I do this, the binoculars appear in the boxes next to the three tags, but rather than showing me the shots which contain all three of the tags I have selected, the Organizer shows me all photos which have any of the three tags.
In other words, how can I make PE "and" the three tags rather than "or" them when finding shots?
Thanks for your help!

Al,
I am currently not at a system which has PS Elements, so the terms in this post may not be exact. But here is the concept -
Look above the thumbnails in your search results and you will see wording like "best match", "close match" with check boxes.
Because you want to see only the photos satisfying the "and" condition, you should NOT have the "close match" box checked. "best match" should be checked and probably is. Unchecking close match will probably resolve your current dilemma.

  • Find multiple formats in one search?

    Is there any way I can find multiple formats in one search? I need to find all instances of a paragraph style that comes after another paragraph style.

    Sorry, no, the Find/Change function doesn't permit that.
    You could export to InDesign Tagged Text and manipulate that text file with an external tool...

  • Finder window - tags - Want complete file colored

    Is there a way to color code the file instead of the colored dot beside the file?

    Seems like a great idea. The little dot is TOO SMALL to notice in a hurry.
    The point of Tags isn't to highlight things. It is to mark them with multiple keywords you can use to help find things based on those keywords. You select the keyword in the Sidebar and the files/folders tagged with that keyword show up in the window.
    It would be difficult to color the whole line when you have multiple tags assigned to the same file, perhaps a barber pole type highlight?
    Don't get hung up on Tags being a modified "Labels." It is no such thing.
    They removed Labels and added Tags.
    Getting Labels back will require a lot of people sending feedback.

  • PSE8 Oraganizer, multiple tag search AND OR

    I'm trying to figure out what logic multiple tag searches is using. Just when I think I have it figured out I find something different.
    For instance the People and Places categories behave differently.  Selecting multiple tags within the same People category behaves like a Boolean AND. Multiple tags in the Places category act as an OR. Selecting a subcategory in the People category will select all the keywords in the sub-category and perform an OR. Selecting a sub-category as an Exclude will only exclude the sub-category as a keyword. It does nothing with the keywords in the sub-category.
    I haven't finished testing all the other possiblities with the other categories, like; Events, Other, Animals.
    I guess my question is; Where is the Adobe full description on how this works?
    My request would be to have the ability to construct a more advanced Boolean expression. Perhaps in a manual mode by typing in a Boolean string.
    Thanks,  -phil

    Thanks for the reply John,
    I doubled checked multiple tags selected in either the People category or the Places category and it is doing an AND in People and an OR in Places.
    Here's my test:
    People category with 2 keywords; Phil, Kristi.
    Phil selected, returns 223 items with Phil in them
    Kristi selected returns 510 items with Kristi in them
    Phil and Kristi selected returns 109 items with Phil AND Kristi tags applied to them.
    Places category with 2 keywords Aruba, Bad Axe
    Aruba selected, returns 50 items, looks like all my Aruba shots
    Bad Axe selected, returns 26 items, looks all my Bad Axe shots
    Aruba and Bad Axe selected, returns 76 items, looks like all my images with Aruba OR Bad Axe shots.
    These catagories came defined with PSE8. Must be something built in??. I quickly looked at my other Categories and they all appear to be doing OR logic with mukltiple keywords. Looks like it's just the People category that behaves as an AND.
    In Preferences the, "Show Closely Matching Sets for Searches" is unchecked. When I check this it does change the behavior. For my people test it now returns 624 with Phil and Kristi selected. The Aruba, Bad Axe selection returned the same number.
    While testing this and writing it down a thought came to me. With my People tags there are images that are tagged with multiple People tags. Like pictures of Kristi and Phil together have both tags. However, my Places tags never have more than one tag applied. I looked in my Pets category and it is behaving like my People category because it will have multiple pet keywords in some photos.
    So, in conclusion, the program is looking at how you've used the keywords. If there are images in the catalog that have multiple keywords from a particular Category tagged to them it will act as an AND search when you select multiple tags from that Category. On the other hand, if there are no images with the multiple tags applied to them then the search behaves as an OR when you select those tags. So it just depends.
    One more example. When I select Phil and Kristi and Aruba, I get back the 6 shots that have those tags. When I select Phil and Kristi and Bad Axe I get back 650 shots. I would rather get back 0 because there are no shots that have all 3 of those tags. The preference is unchecked for the closely match option.

  • Can I use multiple tags and genius to select music for a certain event?

    Hey,
    So for example I may have a few favourite albums I like to listen to when I go to sleep, they may have different tags like folk, electronica.  If I tagged them something like Folk sleep, electronica sleep, could I then find all albums with Sleep somewhere in the tag using Genius.  I want to do the same for albums I like to listen to when I run or when going out or when sad etc....
    I find the tags folk, rock too limiting, I would rather mostly select music based on moods / events.  I don't want a play list, I just want to be able to see music that I like to sleep to and select one album from the list.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Charlie.

    What you need is to learn how to use Smart Playlists.
    When iTunes is open, at the extreme lower-left corner is a plus sign. This opens a regular Playlist that you can drag songs into it. If hold down the Option key, the plus symbol will change to a gear symbol. When you click on you will get a Smart Playlist set-up dialog. It's fairly self-explanatory how to use it. In your case you want to do something like Genre contains "sleep". To add more rules just click the plus button on the right.

  • Organiser in Elements 11 can only find one tag at a time.

    Organiser tags will only find one tagged category at a time. E.g Typing "gill" in the find bar will return all photos with Gill in. Likewise Laura returns all photos with Laura in, but type both Gill followed by Laura will only return photos of Gill. I did not have this problem on Elements 10.

    Alternatively you can use 'Advanced search'. On clicking 'Find->Using Advanced search', a pane will appear. It lists all your keyword tags, People, Places and Events in your catalog. To get the 'AND' and 'OR' behaviour, click on 'Options' button <shown on Find bar just below the Advanced search panel> and choose show best matches/close matches/non matches.
    ~Andromeda
    Andromeda14,
    Can you post a screenshot to show the 'Options' button ? I can't see it.
    The only way I know to combine .AND. or .NOT. logical operators is to use the menu 'Find', 'by details, metadata'.

  • Bridge CS6 Script to Find Multiple Images in Multiple folders.

    Is it possible to have a script to find multiple images within multiple folders that is on a external hard drive?
    For instances I have a external hard drive assuming it's for a library of pictures.
    Inside this hard drive has folders named as below
    1-1000
    1001-2000
    2001-3000
    3001-4000
    If I had a perfect csv file for example that calls out for specific pictures for example 2, 10,1500 and 2000 (remember think big, it may be a larger list than this it could be hundreds or thousands of pictures); is there a script that would allow me to find these images and save a copy of them on to my desktop so that way I don't have to hunt for them in the old fashion way? I can read scripts but writing them is a different story.

    If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
    • set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
    • change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
    • convert it to a Smart Object
    • add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
    • place the background image (File > Place …)
    • move it behind the image layer
    • Image > Reveal All
    • make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
    • select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
    This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
    For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
    Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

  • Finding multiple strings in a text file and deleting the entire line

    Get-Content c:\output-Copy.txt | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'something1', 'something2', 'something3', 'something4' } | Set-Content temp.txt

  • Writing to multiple tags with the same name

    Hi,
    I am writing to multiple tags with the same name but in different groups. I have noticed only the tag from the first group gets updated. How can I write to a tag in a specific group in this scenario?
    Regards,
    Chanti.

    Heres what I found.
    When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<Group>.<TagName>", the outcome was "Message
    Could not add "<Group>.<TagName>" to the response list.
    Message
    No tags selected."
    When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<TagName>", it seemed like it worked fine.
    Any thoughts?

  • Inventory Count (1 material under 1 loc have multiple tags)

    Hi,
    SAP standard inventory count is 1 material 1 location can only have 1 physical document. But our scenario is based on the tag number (which means there will be different tag number for the same code), and our tag number does not have any linkage to the SAP standard inventory count program. This is because even in the same location, our material will be at different places, and we might use more than 1 tag for the same material.
    For example our scenario (1 loc 1 material multiple tags):
    Tag No      Material Code
    CA00001     CPS756
    CA00002     CPS756
    CA00003     CPS518
    CA00004     CPS518
    CA00005   CPS518
    CA00006   CPS632
    Whereas the SAP standrd program is (1 loc 1 material 1 line item):
    100000182     1     CPS756
    100000182     2     CPS518     
    100000182     3     CPR632
    This will help a lot to ease the entering as the user just need to enter the count according to the tag number, and also reduce any typo error. And if we enter according to SAP method, we will have to sum up the total of all the same code, then only enter the count qty.
    Kindly please advise.

    Hello Sim,
    There are several possibilities you can think about,
    1. If you are considering your tags as a batch number then you can put the material number and batch number while creating Physical Inventory.
    2. If materials are in different places then you can consider these different places as a different storage location.
    3. You can manage your stock with Warehouse mangement functionality (This will be the best option, but will be required to activate warehouse management and lots of data conversion activities).
    Hope this helps.

  • Multiple tag fields in page properties dialog

    Is there a way to have multiple tag fields in the page properties dialog and have them work with the default TagManager API?  From what I've tried so far it looks like anything that is not in the root jcr:content node of a page or asset doesn't apply the cq:Taggable mixin to it.  We are trying to spread out our structure of tags across fields so that authors don't have to navigate through multiple heirarchies. We are worries about that list becoming unwieldly to manage.
    I'm not against doing some customiziation but it looks like the TagManager will only utilize fields named cq:tags in its query.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add multiple editable fields in the page in SharePoint online 2013.
    Here is a solution for your reference:
    1. We can create a Custom List and add some fields in it.
    2. Create a Datasheet View in this List.
    3. Add this Custom List(as an app part) into the page you want.
    4. Edit this App Part and set its view as Datasheet View.
    If I misunderstand what you mean, please provide more details on your requirement(picture would be better).

    It is always helpful to provide the following:
    1. Oracle version (SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
    2. Sample data in the form of CREATE / INSERT statements.
    3. Expected output
    4. Explanation of expected output (A.K.A. "business logic")
    5. Use \ tags for #2 and #3. See FAQ (Link on top right side) for details.
    Also see the third post in this thread:
