Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Phtoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today.  It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10.  I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

  • Importing Photos From Photoshop Album To Photoshop Elements 9

    I recently transfered about 14,000 photos from Adobe Photoshop Album into a new computer with Photoshop Elements 9 installed.  In Photoshop Album, I often edited my photos and saved the originals.  However, only the edited version appeared on the organizer screen.  With Photoshop Elements installed, a thumbnail appeared for each Album-edited photo on the organizer screen as a version set with tags and photo description in place but no image.  In most cases clicking on the black right-pointed arrow brings up another imageless box (to the right of the previous thumbnail) that is identical to the first one, tags and all. In a few other cases, the edited image appears to the right with tags.  The latter isn't too bad since I can delete the original imageless thumbnail from the organizer. 
    I have tried importing a couple of files of photos from the new hard drive into the organizer.  I get the original which is tagged and the edited photos untagged.  I want to be able to bring up my edited photos when I use certain keyword tags rather than the originals so don't have to hunt for them in the organizer.  At the same time, I want to avoid having to retag several thousand edited photos.  Can anyone help.  Thanks for reading this message.

    Hi Fred,
    I don't recommend using this software for anything other than
    cataloging. If you want to move your images you should consider
    Photoshop Elements because it is meant to perform this activity. PSA SE
    is just a little cataloging applet that would get really confused if you
    even tried it. You would have to completely redo your catalog.

  • Get photos from Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2

    We have some images stored in Photoshop Album Starter edition 3.2. When we now try to open the photos, we are told to register us for an unlocking code, which we never get. I have also tried to call Adobe support, but they could not help us with this because this program does not longer exists. And then support told us to go to this forum for further assistance. Anyone here who know how we can get access to our photos again?

    If you are on a Mac, try using File Juicer:
    It will extract any and all images from any type of file.
    http://echoone.com/filejuicer/
    With File Juicer you can:
    Extract images from a PowerPoint slide show or presentation.
    Extract images and text from PDF files.
    Recover images and video from erased flash cards
    Recover text from damaged files
    Extract the images and HTML files in Safari's cache.
    Extract attachments from email archives.
    Rebuild simple PDF files into Word documents
    Convert iPhoto's iPod cache files and ithmb files to TIFF.
    Recover photos from your iPod if you have lost your Mac.
    Extract Flash animations saved in .EXE files.
    Convert ZIP files which have been saved as .EXE files to zip.
    Extract the JPEG pictures from Canon & Nikon RAW files.
    Extract System 7 Sounds
    Use it for forensics examining cache files of various kinds
    Invisibly attach files to images - simple steganography
    File Juicer doesn't care what type file you drop onto it; it searches the entire file byte by byte. If it finds a JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, MP3, AVI, MOV, MPG, WMV, MP4, AU, AIFF or text file inside, it can save it to your desktop or to another folder you choose.

    In PSE10, you can try to convert your old starter edition catalog. First you have to find your old catalog, it probably has a file name that ends with psa so you need to search your computer for *.psa (you probably will have to tell Windows to search in hidden folders). Then, once you have found its location, in PSE10, File->Catalog->Convert and point it to this old catalog.
    By the way, your photos are not stored in PSA Starter Edition 3. They are stored on your hard disk somewhere, wherever you put them. So you can always get to your photos that way if you want.

  • Migrating photos from laptop album to desktop album

    I just got back from a month-long holiday where I used iPhoto on my MBA to manage photos during the trip. I want to move them over to my iMac iPhoto library at home. Is there a way to merge the libraries or do I just need to export the photos to my iMac and them import them from there? Any suggestions?

    Aaron
    You can do the Export -Import route but I think the best way to move Events/Albums?Pics and associated metadata between Libraries is to use iPhoto Library Manager.

  • Backup photos from Photoshop Album 2.0

    I have previously backuped or burnt part of my photo collection, ca 2 years ago. All of the pictures that were burnt to a disc now have a small golden disc symbol in the top left corner of the thumbnail in PSA2.
    I now want to do the same with everything from 2007 and 2009 and i Cannot remember what I did. First I limit the timeline to 2007-2008 and then I choose Burn under the File menu. I then choose Copy/Move files followed by Move files and Copy/Move edited and original files. After choosing my DVD burner it says 1.67 MB, estimated time of 2 mins. But these pictures equal ca 7.5 GB, so what am I doing wrong?

    Do a 'Reconnect Missing Files' to make sure that the originals are able to be found; sounds like you have the steps right, otherwise.

  • How do I retrieve Photo's from Photoshop Album Starter Element 3.o ?

    How do I retrieve Photos from Photoshop Album Starter Trial Edition 3.0 after the trial period has expired? I purchased Photoshop Elements 9 hoping I could use that to retrieve from Edition 3.0. No Luck!

    The photos have never been stored in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3. They are always stored on your hard disk somewhere, probably right where you put them when they came out of the camera. You need to search for them.

  • Importing Pictures and Tags from Photoshop Album 2.0 to IPhoto

    I will be getting a new imac in a few days and was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way I can import all my photos from Photoshop Album 2.0 to iphoto'08 without losing the tags I already created for each photo (pulling the tags in and having them automatically set up as Keywords)?

    Hi,
    I've managed to transfer all my Photoshop Album (PSA) tags to iPhoto. At this (http://www.cv2h.com/PSA2iPhoto/Welcome.html) little webpage you can read how I did it and download the files you need. It's not very hard to do.
    In short: the PSA "My Catalog.psa" file is a Microsoft Access file. It's easy to export the necessary data from it as XML. After that it's necessary to convert the binary references to the tags to readable references in the Images file. Then, generate an applescript that tells iPhoto what tags to add to which photo. Then, execute the applescript and you're done.
    I hope this helps,
    hhv.

  • Transfer tags from Photoshop Album Starter Edition to other Photoshop products?

    Here's a scenario for you, which might require some expert advise:
    We have a database (on a network server) with ~6000 pictures which are extensively tagged using Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 installed on a client PC. The client PC had to be swapped out, so I installed a new PC with Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, and moved the tag database (....\All Users\bla bla bla) from the old to the new PC. Now, when I start Photoshop Album Starter Edition, I can see that the software has found my images and tags, but the software displays a pop-up asking for an unlock-code, and I cannot get past this popup.  When registering using the form in the popup, I receive an email from Adobe saying that the product is discontinued and cannot be used anymore. I have Googled like a maniac to find unlock codes, but when entering such codes in the unlock code window, the "unlock"-button stays disabled, so I am not able to start the software to access our image- and tags database.
    So I wonder:
    1) Is it possible to unlock the software and continue using it?
    2) Does any other version/variant of Adobe Photoshop allow import of the tags database from Photoshop Album Starter Edition?
    Looking forward to your clever ideas on this one.
    With kind regards
    /Nils

  • Help me import images from Photoshop into a Premiere Elements project!

    How do I add photos from Photoshop to existing Premire Elements project.

    If you have edited the Images in Photoshop, just Save_As PSD (or TIFF). Set the Still Duration to the desired time, in PrE's Edit>Preferences. Then, Import them into PrE. From the Project Panel, just drag the Image(s) to the Timeline, and to an appropriate Video Track. Say, if you want to place the Image between Clips, just drag it there, and the rest of the Clips/Images on that Video Track will Ripple.
    If you want to replace parts of a Clip, with that Image, just hold down Ctrl/Cmd and drag to the appropriate location.
    If you want to overlay it, with an existing Clip, just place it onto a higher Video Track. Note: this yields the same general result, as the method above.
    I strongly suggest that you Scale your Image in Photoshop, to match, or nearly so, the Frame Size of your Project's Preset.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,

  • PSE 8 - Coverting My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0

    My free download PSE 8 begings the conversion of My Catalog (Photoshop Album 2.0) when only 6% of the way into the process it stops giving an error message; "Failed. Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it". Frankly I am not sure where to begin.
    My entire catalog, only one by the way, was created with the Photoshop Album 2.0 application. In an attempt to identify what was in need of repair using the slideshow View over all of the photos in my catalog I did identify where some images' were not linked to the actual photo. Any such disconnect I have rectified and am able to view the entire slideshow without interruption suggesting that there is nothing to repair?
    Our use of Photoshop Album 2.0 has been unsophisticated. We download our photos from camera/s mainly using the Photoshop application which automatically stores them in the Adobe sub-folder under My Pictures. We then move these into appropriately named separate folders and mapping them onto similarly named Collections within My Catalog. Here we edit and delete where necessary and also caption. Once that exercise is complete, to reduce storage, we go back to My Pictures and remove any duplication resulting from the editing process. As a final test we take a slideshow View of each collection to insure that there are no disconnect.
    What can I try next? Is there any diagnostic tool within Elements 8 which can assist in identifying where we need to start with the repair job?

    Hi John
    Despite successfully running Reconnect and Repair, PSE 8 is still unable to
    convert My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0. The 'Problems converting
    catalogs to PSE 6 or 7' notes suggests that I might need to first migrate to
    Elements 5. Can I take you up on the offer find me a copy?
    Actually John I may be making life unnecessarily difficult for myself. I
    would like to upgrade my Adobe Photoshop software but have some thousands of
    photos with captions. Is there a more simple way to migrate photos, edited
    photos all with captions into PSE 8?

  • Converting Catalogs From Photoshop Album (2.0) to Photoshop Elements 13

    My Photoshop Album currently holds some 23,000 photographs/jpgs from 2003 to date. Each is catalogued to provide a very high level of granularity to assist in identifying specific photographs and their subject content.
    I have purchased Photoshop Elements to update the management of the collection. The Adobe information identifies it to be a suitable successor but indicates that there is likely to be some effort required to update the catalog. Using Catalog Manager I have attempted to Convert the old catalog which didn’t work because it “couldn’t be seen” in Elements. Further research of the Forum and other Adobe resources pointed to the Catalog Conversion Utility. Again this also failed to work.
    I then reduced the number of photographs to about 4,500 (year 2014). I have noted by the way that this has had virtually no effect on the psa file size. As I gradually Deleted photos from the Catalog I have come across about 100 items which cannot be deleted and returns the following error message….
    The ODBC data source reported the following error:
    “[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Indicator variable required but not supplied on column number 10 (fDateTimeHigh)”
    I have tried a number of ways to delete the photos including removing them from their folder; “Reconnecting the Missing File” with/without the same name in a different Folder; and generally getting myself very frustrated with my lack of knowledge. Googling/search for help and pointers hasn’t found the solution.
    What or where can I find a way of deleting these errant files? (I have MS Access if this is a tool that might get me the solution.)
    Note that one very old and small Catalog did convert and successfully integrated into Elements so it all works in principle. It seems to point to these problem jpgs.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Yes. Thanks for your reply. Just shows my age doesn't it! I've really got to upgrade my system from Windows 3.1.
    Still it lasted me for quite a few years over its various issues and wasn't a bad investment for me considering I think it was a magazine cover freebie, though I can't remember whether it was issued on 5" or 3" disks!!!
    Interesting to note that conceptually the original design was quite good and together with the new face recognition technology which is as good if not better than Picasa the PSE13 Organiser does a good job. It's a pity Adobe doesn't promote more of this side of the product. I wasn't able to find the replacement to Album as it was starting to struggle as the photo count increased and I hadn't been able to find an obvious replacement. Still that's over now.
    All I have to do now is to raise a query as to how to order/sort certain tags and it's a near perfect product for me. Can't find the answer in the Manual(s) or FAQs - or I'm not using the correct query key words.

  • Importing tags from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 5

    I have had Photoshop Album 2.0.2 for several years and it currently holds the information of 13000+ tagged items. I have a detailed tagging system set up which I don't want to lose.  I also have Photoshop Elements 5 and having just discovered that Photoshop Album is now discontinued I wanted to transfer my existing information into Elements.
    I have spent some time trying varies options but cannot find the solution I want.
    If I select a photo from file to import into Elements then the tagging information does not come with it.
    If I export an image from Album to desktop and then import it into Elements no tags come with it.
    If I email a photo from Album to myself then import that image it does come with the tags into Elements.
    Obviously I can't email all 13000 images to myself to import them but can someone suggest how I can transfer this data - obviously the photos themselves don't need to move as both programmes only keep a link to the original location to the photos.
    I'm not interested in using the online storage system but wonder if one solution might be to upload all my phots to that temporarily then reimport them to Elements.
    Additionally is it possible to import my current tag structure  rather than have imported tags all appearing under a 'imported tags' tag.
    Any help grately appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gill

    Thank you so much it worked - the only thing that didn't transfer was the folder pics I'd chosen for the tags so that didn't take long to redo - many thanks - I'd never have found that. It would have been so much more obvious if it showed 'open' or 'select catalogue' rather than just the word 'catalogue' with no other options visible from the dropdown menu.
    Happy Bunny here!

  • Converting Catalog from Photoshop Album 2 to P. Elements 4 or 9

    When converting the catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0  PE Versions 4.0 or 9.0, I get 43% through the conversion and then an error message pops up saying the file is corrupt and to repir first in the original version. I have looked up other forums which have been helpful recommending to hold Control key down whening opening P Album to firstly repair the catalog. This done successfully, with the catalog working in Album "successfully repaired", it still does not correct the error message when attemptng to re-convert the catalog into the later versions. I have about 12,000 photos in the catalog. Any ideas most welcome?

    I am curious
    Is PS Album 2 running on a Windows XP PC ? Does PS Album run normally ?
    PSE 4 on the same PC ?
    Is PSE 9 running on the same computer as Photoshop Album 2 ?
    Or perhaps is PSE 9 running on a new computer with Windows 7 ?
    For PS Album 2, in addition to doing the repair of the Catalog (which you  have done), you should not have any disconnected files when you attempt a catalog upgrade. In PS Album 2, look for a command to Reconnect All Missing Files -- it may be under the File menu.  Run that command.
    Here is a reference to a discussion of problems upgrading catalogs
