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.

Will LR3 automatically transfer keyword tags of photos created in PSE when importing the photos

Hi eveeryone,
I am new to LR3. I would like to import all my photos into LR3 and all these photos have keyword tags that were done in PSE. Will LR3 automatically import the keyword tags too? If not, how would I do it?
Much appreciate your feedback.

The answer is "NO", because importing is the WRONG thing to do here.
The proper procedure is to have LR3 upgrade your PSE catalog. In Lightroom, File->Upgrade PSE Catalog. All your tags will show up in Lightroom as keywords. Couldn't be simpler!

How to use keyword tags effectively in pse 8

No matter what I try, have not been able to make keyword tags work effectively. Have followed all directions from books and others. Even customer support was not able to help.
The problem is that tagged photos will not show up by themselves. All other photos in the catalog open at the same time. The tagged photos sometimes show a blue circle with a white check mark through it. All the other photos show a red circle with a slash accross it in the upper left hand corner of the photos.
Customer support says that that is how the program works. I don't believe it!
Wold uninstalling and reinstalling pse 8 work?
Any other suggestions?

Would you consider suggesting a work-flow for someone who is just starting out with Organizer? (As an aside, if you are familiar with Picasa, would you give your opinion about the relative merits of Picasa and PSE Organizer?)
In all honesty, I can longer recommend the Organizer -- it's buggy, slow, hard to use, and Adobe shows little inclination for fixing bugs that have been around since PSE 6 or earlier. (I use it because I have large catalogs dating back to Photoshop Album 1.) See my review:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R332BXA5A70OL9/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
As for alternatives: At the low end, many people are satisfied with the free or almost-free programs: iPhoto, Picasa, Windows Live Photo Gallery (which in my opinion is better than iPhoto). These are fast and easier to use than PSE and can handle thousands of photos. For more sophisticated users with larger catalogs, many people like Lightroom, Aperture, Imatch, Idimager, and ACDsee Pro.

How to transfer metadata (tags etc) from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 to A P Elements 8

I have just bought the Adobe Elements 8. I was told that this product was the upgrade product from the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. Can't find a clear solution in this forum of how to transfer the metadata to the Adobe Elements 8 and continue the indexing with the latest product. Hopefully somebody can help.
Bjorn

If you still have your 3.2 psa catalog in your "My Catalogs" folder, try
downloading PSE5 from here:
http://www.johnrellis.com/photoshop_elements_5.0_trial_version.exe.
PSE5 should be able to find your catalog and you can convert it into PSE5.
If that doesn't work, it may be because you weren't able to run "reconnect
all missing files" in PSA3.2 before attempting the conversion. If all your
photos were still connected, this should work. Then you can open PSE8 and
convert PSE5 into PSE8. Do a "reconnect all missing files" in PSE5 before
you do the conversion. Even though all my files were connected when I
converted PSA2 into PSE5, PSE5 had about 30 unconnected photos.
Good luck!

How can reattach keyword tags to photos after switching to PSE11

I recently upgraded from vista to windows 8.
I then upgraded from Photoshop elements 9 (I think) to Photoshop elements 11. I had catalogs and pictures scattered in different places so one of the options was just too gather all of the photographs on the hard drive and start a new catalog. It worked, and so all of my pictures are under one catalog name which is perfect. The key word tag categories are listed as I had sent them up in the previous version, but none of the photos are actually labeled with their keyword tax. How can I reattach the tags to the pictures.
I appreciate any help I can get with this thank you.

Here is the link:
http://johnrellis.best.vwh.net/psedbtool/
and mor precisely
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#_Writing_File_Metadata
Unfortunately, as you can see, that tool has not been updated to PSE9. Its advantage for writing the tags is that the organizer (all versions) does only add tags to the files without replacing the old tags while psedbtool replaces the tags.
If you have not yet used the 'write metadata to files' feature in PSE9, you don't need psedbtool.
Another note for PSE11 users:
That behaviour of the organizer has not been changed, but you can use another tool to erase tags for a batch of selected files.
In the information panel on the right, expand the 'metadata' section, and click on the rightmost icon to get detailed view. Expand the IPTC section. Click on the 3 dots icon to open the IPTC dialog. There you can choose to delete all keywords.
Or:
After selecting your pictures, click on the 'Add IPTC data' button in the information panel.

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.

How do I transfer Face tags that I have on iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10?

I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea -417df45c129593bfa05-8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
"Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
I have tried contacting Adobe directly and using their forums but I keep getting told that Adobe offers this service as a "courtesy" and that I should contact Mac/iPhoto for further assistance.
Has anyone tried going from iPhoto to Elements Organizer with their tags?
Please Please help!
Many thanks
D.M.

There is no standard field for faces. To transfer information you must put it in the standard place that the new program will use. That does not exist for faces. One work around would be to use keywords. You include the available metadata in a photo by checking all if the boxes when you export the photo(s). What the receiving program is determined by the authors of that program. All iPhoto can do is write what it offers to the IPTC & EXIF fields which it will

Transfer of keyword tags

I have just downloaded Elements 12 using my previous version catalogue of images in Elements 9 however the keyword tags have not come across. How do I transfer them?

You can also download the pdf manual, which makes searching by keywords much easier:
http://helpx.adobe.com/en/pdf/elements-organizer_reference.pdf
Many new ways to work in Organizer since version 11.
- Introduction of the new tabs for people, places and events
- Totally new way to work in folder view
- More advanced 'search by detail'
I think there is a video tut for the new interface... Hope I can find it soon!

How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?

How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?

You know, in the one screen capture, from the old computer, we can see that the photo has the keyword "bees"
In the other screen capture, from the new computer, we cannot see the keyword "bees"
And better yet, show us the Keywording Panel instead of the Keyword List Panel
I am also concerned that you are showing us the original catalog on the new computer that you created via importing the photos. That's not what we want to see.
So please confirm that you are using the catalog file that was copied from the old computer, and when placed on the new computer, you double-clicked on that exact catalog file, and then created the screen capture. Please confirm that you are NOT looking at the catalog you created by importing the photos.

How do I find photos without a keyword tag?

How do I find photos without a keyword tag?
And by the way a further question regarding keyword tags remains unanswered...Why is there a difference between the number next to the keyword and the actual index number in the keyword folder?

I will try and explain in more detail to ensure we don't talk past each other.
I'm in "Catalog" and "All Photographs" is highlighted.
I selected to show the "Index Number" under "Library View Options".
In "Keyword List" I have main keywords such as Europe, Africa and Asia with no number to the right of it.
If I open the Europe keyword I have a list of countries each of them with a number next to them.
Next to Spain there is now showing the number 46.
I open "Spain" by clicking on the arrow to the right of the number.
Now all the photos with the Spain tag is shown but there are only 23 photo. Under Portugal there is 80 shown but only 40 photos is shown. Under Ireland the keyword only 11 is shown but once open there are 1132 photos.
There is not one keyword with the correct number next to it.
As a fairly new LR user it just appears to me that the two function don't "speak" or "correlate" with each other.

How can I stop thumbnails and keyword tags from rapid movement?

PSE 10 for Mac: When going through catalog thumbnails or trying to locate a particular keyword tag, the images or the tags just whiz by rapidly. How can I prevent this? Thank you.

I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

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);
               String propName = prop.GetName();
               log.Info("Property name is: " + propName);
               String value = (String) qresult.Data()[1][0];
               if (lang.equalsIgnoreCase(propLocale) && value != null && !value.equalsIgnoreCase(""))

How do i import keyword tags from PSE12?

I have just downloaded PS and LR5 from Adobe CC. I was using Photoshop Elements 12. How can I import my keyword tags from the PSE Organizer. I saved them as .txt files but they will not import because they contain "special characters." What do I do? Please do not tell me I have to start over... ~

is there a way to import tags from PSE 12
The PSE 12 Organizer and LR 5 use different file formats for exporting and importing keyword hierarchies. PSE uses XML format, while LR 5 uses a tab-separated format. If you're a programmer or technically minded, you could convert from one to the other using your favorite scripting language.
But the approach suggested by dj_paige can be modified to accomplish what you want without scripting, by copying the keyword hierarchy from the "upgraded" LR catalog that was created from your PSE catalog to your "good" LR catalog:
1. Make a manual backup of your "good" LR catalog: Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog.
2. In LR, open the catalog that you created previously by upgrading (converting) the PSE catalog -- you can usually get to that catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
3. Go to grid view in the Library by doing Window > Library followed by View > Grid (usually you're already in Library grid view, but just in case...)
4. Make sure the Keyword List panel is showing on the right by doing Window > Panels > Keyword List.
5. You should see the keyword hierarchy from your PSE catalog. If you don't, stop and post a screen shot of the entire LR screen.
6. Do Metadata > Export Keywords to export those keywords as a LR-format text file.
7. Open your "good" LR catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
8. Do Metadata > Import Keywords and select the file you exported in step 6.
9. All the keywords that were exported in step 6 will be added to the current catalog, and there will be duplicate keywords if there were already keywords of the same name in the catalog. Those new keywords will not be attached to any existing photos in the current catalog.

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:
