Group Custom Name keyword tag - Mac PSE10

Under the preferences tab for camera or card reader I see a checkbox which i have selected for Make "Group Custom Name" keyword tag.  How is this feature accessed to modify this and use this tag?  I cannot find the specific field. Will it show up in the Organizer on the right side with the keyword tags?  What do the users find this feature most useful for?  Thanks in advance.

right there with you on that...
by a search, it doesn't appear many people have mentioned this feature either.

  • How Do I Sort a Group of Photos on the Same Page with the same Keyword Tag?

    I want to group similar photos on the same page with the same keyword tag.  I have tried dragging and dropping without any success.  Can anyone help?

      Create an album, then search using a keyword. Select all the photos produced by the search and drag them into the album.
    You can drag photos into any order in Albums and they remain in your chosen order.
     

  • PSE10 - Keyword tags not all showing when tagging faces?

    When I import a new picture, if I manually add a face tagging box, then click on the text box and type the first letter of a name, only certain of my keyword tag names show up? Some do not??? For instance, if I have the names Bella, Bill and Bess already as keyword tag names, when I type in the letter B, only Bill and Bess show up - Bella NEVER does? it happens with many different names and it is random - can someone help me figure out why it is not recognizing all keyword tag names?

  • Associate old keyword tag (name) to a face in PSE 8.0?

    I have been using PSE 5 for a while, and am considering the upgrade to 8 .
    In the trial version, I saw a nice face recognition engine, with labeling capabilities.
    My question is, how to associate the names of people, that I have already labeled
    in the old version of PSE, with the new type of tag that is attached to automatically
    recognized faces.
    I have thousands of images in my catalog, most of them tagged with the names
    of the people in them. After importing to PSE 8, the names are considered as
    "keyword" tags, but I would like to turn them to face recognition features.
    By the way, is there a way to see the list of faces PSE recognizes, and Edit/Arrange them ?
    Thanks,
    Gideon.

       Thanks for your assistance.
       Since long time has passed from the time I asked the question, I discovered
    a few things.
    1) This observation is correct, but since I used to have PSE 5, which does not have face recognition, it does not matter much.
    2) This is what I would expect from the program. However, from my question one can understand that it does not actually happen. What I found out since, is that it sometimes happens. I think that generally, if I first tag the image with the names, and then apply the face recognition procedure, the program would identify the tag with the name I gave the face. This does not always happen though (I think). However, if I just apply the face recognition program, and give a face a name (that already exists as a tag), the program adds a new tag with the same name and the association is not made. I believe there are further complications which I have not investigated fully. After the program recognizes a face, by its pattern recognition, and this name already exists as an old name tag, does it actually use this tag, or does it add a new name (assuming the picture was not previously labeled).
    3) I would expect the program to perform face recognition on old pictures, which are already labeled with names, for which the program was already trained, by giving priority to these tags in the face recognition.

  • 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!

  • How do I add a keyword tag in iPhoto on the iPad?

    I looked through the Help for iPhoto and couldn't find a section on how to add keyword tags to my images.
    Things like the names of the people in the photos, etc.
    The screen shots of iPhoto show a Face Taggging feature.
    How do I get to that?
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    I talked with Apple Support.
    The iPhoto app on the iPad is not the same as iPhoto on the Mac.
    It doesn't support adding keyword tags.
    Possibly a feature to be added in the future.
    I have iCloud enabled for PhotoStream.
    So my iPad picture was sent automatically to my download folder on my pc.
    I can take it from there into PhotoShop Elements and add the tags.

  • Imported keyword tags, image tags, main tags in PSE 12

    I have converted an older catalog to PSE 12 for Mac.  I have tags in Imported Keywords, and that also show up in the Image Tags, but not all show up in the main tags lists (People, Places, Events).  How do I get these all in the main tag groups?

    Saurabh288--
    Yes, now I see the tags under "Image Tags," and if I right click the tag in that spot, I have the option  to remove it.  Thank you.
    As to the Remove Keyword Tag option, "should be" appears to be the operative phrase here. It should be, but in many cases isn't. The option appears for some photos but is grayed out for others, even when the "others" have tags showing under "Image Tags."  But I can live without this option working, since  the "Image Tags" list gives me a woraround.  Thanks again.

  • How to transfer keyword tags

    I have a seperate PC PSE8 organizer that I would like export just the keyword tags file to my new Mac PSE10 to use with a seperate new database.  Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    A better way to do this would be to install PSE 10 on your windows computer (if you have the boxed version you have both platforms) and update your catalog to PSE 10, then do a full backup using the organizer's backup command to a removable drive, then restore the catalog to the mac.
    EDIT That's unless you just want a list of keyword tags to save time when working with a whole different set of images. But transferring a catalog will also preserve albums, version sets, etc.

  • How to implement metadata keyword tags

    Can someone please advise me on how to implement meta keyword tag <meta name="keyword" content="..."> for individual community page? We have a set of keywords for each community page. I know we can just add the line above to base page layout if they are common keywords to all the community page but not sure whats the best way to add unique set of meta keyword tags to individual community page? FYI - We are using UCM for managing content for our site.

    I always did this using a property on the page object.
    1. Create a new property called "meta-keywords" and associate it to the community pages object through the global object property mapper utility.
    2. Edit your community page and add any keywords you desire.
    3. Write a custom tag for said property that takes a uuid as input (this way you can migrate and the tag remains the same.
    4. same idea works for any meta tag.
    Note: you are limited to 255 characters this way.
    Or you can probably code some kind of tag that reads from UCM as well, but i always did it the above way.
    Here is a tag example:
    public class MetaPropertyCurrentPage extends ATag {
         private OpenLogger log = OpenLogService.GetLogger(
                   OpenLogService.GetComponent(PTDebugHelpers.COMPONENT_PORTAL_COMMON),
                   "customizations.tag.standard.MetaPropertyCurrentPage");
         public static final RequiredTagAttribute UUID;
         public static final ITagMetaData TAG;
         static {
              TAG = new TagMetaData("currpageproperty",
                        "Displays the value of the property in the current page from the uuid.");
         UUID = new RequiredTagAttribute("uuid", "The UUID for the property you want to open.",
    AttributeType.STRING);
         @Override
         public ATag Create() {
              return new MetaPropertyCurrentPage();
         @Override
         public HTMLElement DisplayTag() {
              log.Info("Entering meta lookup");
              String objectid;
              String classid;
              HTMLElement result = new HTMLElementCollection();
              IEnvironment env = GetEnvironment();
              AActivitySpace owner = TaskAPIUICommon.GetEnvTypeObject(env);
              //get pageid
              int pageid = TaskAPIUICommunity.GetCurrentCommunityPageID(owner);
              //check if not a community page
              if (!TaskAPIUICommunity.IsCurrentPageCommunityPage(owner))
                   return result;
              //convert to objectid
              try
                   Object[] objectAndClassId = ((IPTMigrationManager)(((IPTSession)GetEnvironment()
                   .GetUserSession()).OpenGlobalObject(PT_GLOBALOBJECTS.PT_GLOBAL_MIGRATION_MANAGER,
                   false))).UUIDToObjectID(GetTagAttributeAsString(UUID));
                   objectid = objectAndClassId[PT_MIGRATION_OBJECT_COLS.PT_MOC_OBJECTID].toString();
                   log.Info( "found objectid" + objectid);
                   classid = objectAndClassId[PT_MIGRATION_OBJECT_COLS.PT_MOC_CLASSID].toString();
                   //check to make sure its a property
                   if (Integer.parseInt(classid) != PT_CLASSIDS.PT_PROPERTY_ID)
                        return new HTMLComment("UUID does not belong to a property");
              catch (Exception e)
                   log.Error(e, "error getting the objectid from the UUID.");
                   return null;
              //now get the property from it
              IPTSession session = (IPTSession)GetEnvironment().GetUserSession();
              IPTObjectManager objMgr = session.GetPages();
              IPTPage page = (IPTPage)objMgr.Open(pageid, false);
              log.Info("Page name: " + page.GetName());
              IPTQueryResult qresult = page.GetObjectProperties().GetSinglePropertyData(Integer.parseInt(objectid), PT_PROPIDS.PT_PROPID_PROP_VALUE);
              if (qresult.Data() != null)
                   IPTObjectManager objMgr2 = session.GetProperties();
                   IPTProperty prop = (IPTProperty)objMgr2.Open(Integer.parseInt(objectid), false);

  • Saving Albums, Keyword Tags & Metadata in Photoshop 11

    In Photoshop 11, when I create a new Album name or category, do I need to choose "Save Albums to File"?   Do I need to do something similar with Keyword tags "Save keyword tags to file"?  If I don't do this, would I lose my album names and keyword tags when I upgrade to a new Photoshop program?  What about my photo captions?  How are those saved?  Do I need to select all the photos in the album before I do this?
    Also, under File, if I select "Save Metadata to Files", exactly what is saved?
    I want to make sure that no matter what program I use my info goes with my pictures.

    Most important to understand with the organizer (any version) is that if you want ALL additional information you have added to your catalog to be saved or backed up, and then restored totally, you have to backup your catalog from the organizer menu. Everything is stored in the 'catalog' folder: the catalog itself, a copy of all your media files and a backup.tly file which enables you to restore either on the same location or a new one (new computer, drive, new OS, new OS or PSE version...)

    No, the wording is misleading. That command only saves the names and properties of your album panel, not the contents, in a text file. You can restore that structure in another album.

    You don't need to if you have a PSE backup, but it may be a good idea, especially if you want to share your tags and ratings with another software (slideshow editor for instance). It's an additional safety measure.
    There are three categories of data:
    - what is stored automatically in the metadata section of the files (or in .xmp sidecar files) : mostly captions and file 'date original'
    - what is stored manually via the 'write metadata to file' command : mainly tags, categories, ratings, notes, captions...
    - what can't be stored because it's not information pertaining to individual files : albums, stacks, version sets. That's why you should prefer to use tags instead of albums if you don't need a custom sort order.
    As you have seen, you also can save your album structure, and, more important, your tags and categories in text files to copy them in new blank catalogs.

  • Keyword Tags Won't Delete

    I am using Lightroom 1.4.1 on a Vista platform.<br /><br />When I delete keyword tags they disappear temporarily, only to reappear later. I have tried the Purge Unused Keywords function and I have tried to right click the keyword and select Delete. In all cases they seem to be deleted, but reappear later.<br /><br />I have removed the keywords in question from any photos they were applied to, so all the keywords that I'm trying to delete show 0 images.<br /><br />Here is a sample of the keywords: <component; <place; <worklist. Could the "<" sign in the keyword name be the problem? I have tried to rename the keywords, thus removing the "<" from the name, but they still keep coming back.<br /><br />Some more info which may be important in resolving this. These keyword names appear to have been created by Lightroom itself of Photoshop CS3 (V10.0). I originally had keywords enclosed in brackets, eg <place>. When I edited the images with the Develop module and Photoshop, once I returned to the Library module the edited image would have the system created keyword, eg <place (without the closing bracket). In other words I now had two keywords for the same thing: <place> and <place.

    Tried the throw away top level key word idea as you suggested, but it didn't resolve the problem. I also deleted the 'dud' keywords from Bridge and Windows Photo Gallery and then went back to Lr and tried the suggestion again. It still didn't work. There are 3 dud keywords that keep reappearing in Windows Photo Gallery, despite having been deleted. It's amazing how all but three seem to have gone for good from Windows Photo Gallery. What makes the three persistent ones special, I have no idea.
    What's puzzling is that once I've deleted the dud keywords and then export my keywords to a text file, the text file is 'clean'; like they've gone from Lr. However, when they reappear and I export my keywords again to a text file, they show up in the text file.
    It like they're hiding away in the image files or some database in such a way that I can't access them and when I edit or rename a 'good' keyword it causes Lr to re-read the image file or database and import the keywords. This, despite that fact that none of the dud keywords show up in the metadata for any of my images as displayed by Lr; eg in the Keywording panel on the right. They also no longer show up in Bridge or Windows Photo Gallery (except for 3). Furthermore, all the dud keywords show '0' for the number of images they're assigned to.
    By the way, I've also tried the Purge Unused Keywords function to no avail.

  • To be able to Export Keyword Tags to Excel or as a CSF file

    I am using PSE 10 in Windows 7 environment. Have thousands of photos and hundreds of Keyword tags and many Categories and Sub-Categories.
    It would be nice to have these Tags & Categoris names in an Excel file (or, comma separated text file)  that I can use to easily see what Tags I have so that I don't create new tags with slightly different names. Such an easy-to-access and mange Excel file will be very helpful, I think, to the overall cration and management of Tags.
    I have done quite a bit of research on the web and also in PSE forum, but have not found any ways to do this.
    Is this possible? Sure would appreciate any help and ideas.
    Thank you so much.

    Thank you all for your help. I have solved my problem - with your help. Solution was simple:
    Save the Keyword Tags as the XML file from the drop down arrow options of the Keyword Tags. Saved it on desktop - but I guess you can save it anywhere you want. Opened MS Excel. Click File/ Open and Selected the XML file saved earlier. In the Dialogue Box that opens up, selected the "As an XML table" option. In the next dialogue box, showing "The specified XML source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create schema based on the XML source data.", clicked OK button.
    Excel now creates the table and it filles the schema as the Column names. I deleted the columns that I don't need - most of these are values expressed in hex or some other numbering system. I kept FIVE columns that have the Keyword Category and the Tags names -
    tagset-item-value-name
    tagset-item-value-name3
    tagset-item-value-note
    tagset-item-value-name6
    tagset-item-value-note8
    Now I can play with them as I need - sort, resquence, print, etc.
    Hope this helps others. And, again, thank you for your help.

  • Printing my PDF with File name and Tags Stamped on

    To Forum,
    Possibly not a completely Apple related query, but if anyone know it would be great.
    id like to print a PDF on my MBP with the File name and Tags applied to it stamped on the paper copy... or come to think of it, stamped on the PDF copy which i then print out with those stamps on. Either way will do. Any ideas? Its not immediately obvious when i look at the Printing Prefs box.

    This is an option built into various apps - Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Office.
    There are "PDF Utils" that do this on PDFs one at a time. Can't find a specific one for Macs, but found 2 for Windows.

  • PSE 9 "Delete Keyword Tags" pops up during Find

    This has been occurring for a while, and is quite consistent, but I've never bothered to ask.  When I select Find/From History/Imported On, a window pops up with "Delete Keyword Tags" and a progress bar which starts to move.  I always immediately hit cancel, and then the "Select one or more groups you imported" window comes up, so I select the date and things work fine.
    So what is going on with the "Delete Keyword Tags" window?  I've not noticed any tags get deleted, but am I risking losing them if I didn't immediately hit cancel?
    Thanks,
    John S.

    Hi John
    It may be simpler to switch to Import batch view. You can the scroll down then list in date order.
    Click the Display button (near top right in Organizer) to switch from thumbnail or folder view.
