How do I transfer tags from Photoshop Album to PSE 7?

I hope someone can help me here.  I have downloaded PSE7 and intend to buy it as I understand that this is the upgrade path for Photoshop Album.  I bought a new computer running Vista but Album does not work with it.
I have tried to convert the .PSA catalog file from Album, but PSE tells me that it can't complete the job and wants me to repair the file with the original product.  I have no idea how to do this or indeed what it means.  The file works fine on my XP computer with the same pictures.  Does anyone know what I can do to make this work?  If it doesn't work I will have to retag over 5000 pictures.  I really don't want to do that, and will probably not go on to purchase the product.
Thanks in advance.  Mike

Thanks for your very prompt response.  Unfortuanately I have tried this and still the same answer.  I have even tried saving the catalog as another filename, but it still tells me to repair the file in the original application.
Any further help would be gratefully received.

  • 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

    Branching this to a separate discussion and moving the discussion to the Photoshop Album Starter Edition forum.

  • 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.

  • How do I transfer photos from iphoto album to my ipad

    How do I transfer photos from my iphoto album on my Imac to my ipad

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • 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!

  • How can you transfer tags from Elements 8 to 11?

    I recently installed Elements 11 on a brand new computer.  My old computer has Elements 8 and all the tags I want on the new machine.  How can I transfer the tags from one machine to the other?

    Also refer to the following guide

  • Transfer Tags from Photoshop Elements 5.0 to Lightroom 1.0

    Unfortunality, the File>Import from Elements does not work correct (Missing the structure of folders if more than one level and missing some Tags). So, if I do in PSE File>Save Tags- and Attributesinfo with Photo (or similar, Tags- und Eigenschafteninfos mit Foto speichern as I have a german version) and then Import them in Lightroom it works.
    But PSE does rewrite the complete file. As I have JPGs:
    - Is there any change, loss or recalculating on the Picturedata?
    - Is there a easier and faster way?

    As far as reducing quality of picture data by writing tags, no.
    From what I've read, it bascially writes that metadata into the file, and moves the pixel data up or down in the file without actually changing it, or recompressing it... it's not like when you save your edits to a file. (I was leary about doing it for a long time too.)
    BTW: I think this is what it does also if you choose to write your lightroom edits to .xmp sidecars... for jpegs it writes that data into the acutal file, but only LR or newer versions of photoshop will read it.
    I don't know of a faster way... but Elements 5 will keep your tag structure too, when you import? How about the top-level tags like Family, Places, etc? I used import from Elements 3.0, and I thought my tagging structure, and these top-level tags were lost too... maybe I need to try it again.

  • How can I transfer tags from a JPG to a RAW?

    I have another person tagging my photos but transferring my RAW files is time consuming. If I export the RAWs as JPGs, then have them tag the JPGs, can I then get those tags transferred to the RAW from which they came?
    Thanks,
    Ed Beck

    RawPlusJpeg might help.
    Another option, if you don't want to use a plugin, is to do them one at a time using Lightroom's sync function.

  • How to Import People Tags from WLFG 2011 to PSE 9

    How can I inport people tags that I have created in Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011 into PSE 9? I use Windows 7, and I see that with Windows Explorer properties the WLFG people tags are listed under Description>People and the PSE people tags are listed under Description>Tags. In PSE properties, the WLFG people tags are not listed and the PSE people tags are listed under IPTC>Keywords. Help!

    I know that very well, like you said it did not need much googling. But my question was, if someone has e.g. ready-made plugin for that. Of course I could e.g. let WLPG find the faces and then tag those manually with rather small effort. But it would be nice, if that was done automatically. Like your answer sais, the tagged information is stored to the file, but in non-standard way. It is not rocket science to extract that information and do standard tagging with some plugin. But my coding skills are not enough - not even close. So the original question is still valid.
    Once more: I can do it manually, but can I make it more automatically. Well, I need to check clvrmnky's answer more carefully.

  • 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.

  • 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.
