Importing people tags from PS Elements 11 to Lightroom 4

On first use of Lightroom 4, some people tags from PS elements 11 were not imported on the conversion, while others were.  Is there a fix for this?

I just had the same issue with installing Lightroom 5 for the first time. It spent all day converting my PSE11 catalog. The only people tags it seems to have brought over are the ones that are actually in the files, not in the PSE11 catalog. Which makes it kind of useless.

  • Import People tags from Windows Live Photo Gallery

    I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery for years and have over 15k images that have people tags embedded in the metadata for the files.  I recently downloaded the Photoshop Elements 13 trial and am trying to determine if the organizer that ships with it will meet my needs, however, I am not seeing a way to import People tags from my existing images.  I have imported the images, and most of the photo tags appear to have been imported, but not the people tags.  Is there any built-in way to import people tags from the file-based EXIF metadata, or an external tool or add-in that might be able to bring my WLPG People Tags into PE13?
    Thanks!

    Adding a 'Me too' to bump this up. Doing the '30 day evaluation' as I'm looking to change only because MSFT has abandoned the product and I some better editing on things like 'healing/clone brush' for the picture's I scan (using the very old Digital Image Pro).   Google's Picasa has no problem recognizing them including the location of the face selection (though it does like to recognize over top of them sometimes).
    I can deal with some of the amazingly frustrating clunkiness of the UI and navigation (they seriously need to hire some new usability designers) but it is a show stopper if the People aspect won't recognize existing tags from WLG and/or Picasa.

  • How to import people tags from Windows Live Photo Gallery to Lightroom?

    I know, that this is rather WLPG issue than Lightroom, but maybe someone has had the similar problem. I have used WLPG for sorting and viewing my photos, but now I am starting to use Lightroom. I have used automatic face recognition for tagging people. I know, that there is no such a feature in Lightroom, but the first question would be: how to utilize the existing people taggings? They are embedded to the image, but so far only WLPG is able to use the data. It would be enough for me, if those "people tags" would be automatically used as "normal tags" in Lightroom (i.e. without coordinate information). Any solutions? Of course the face recognition plug-in would be optimal solution

    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 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!

  • Will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5

    will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5?

    See:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    I suppose you are using the organizer : you'll be able to recover your PSE5 catalogs either by a catalog conversion on the same computer or by the backup / restore process.

  • Imported people tags in PSE 11 - how do I merge them with existing people tags?

    I have just upgraded from PSE 9 to PSE 11 and have imported some pictures that I have tagged in another program. Importing tags for everything other than people works fine (already used tags are recognized and reused). But importing tags for people proved to be a problem. They did not merge automatically with my previous people tags in PSE. My imported people tags ar now placed under "Imported Keyword Tags" in the "Media" workspace. How do I merge or move them to the "People" work space where the people tags for PSE 11 is placed?
    I also wonder why people and other tags are put in different places. Is it possible to view all keyword tags in one list/place?

    Thanks. That helped a little bit, but not with the merging of the identical imported tags and People tags. They seems to be separate systems? Other tags you can merge by selecting both and right click < Merge Key word tags.
    I can of course do it all manually now that I'm able to search for both tag types in Media, but this seems unnecessary and idiotic...

  • Remove XML tags from XML element in Oracle

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I have to remove all the xml tags from xml element with banks, currently I'm using replace 4 times to replace all different types of xml tags, performance is really bad. is there any better option to remove xml tags from xml data leaving the actual data. please find the example data below.
    select

    One way is to use xquery:

  • How can I remove people tags from MULTIPLE images in Organizer 13?

    How can I remove people tags from MULTIPLE images in Organizer 13?  The strategy for removing keyword tags does not work. It appears that keyword tags and People tags are considered something completely different in 13.  I highlight multiple images, right click, and under keyword tags it says there are no keyword tags. There does not appear to be an option for people or other tags. Can anyone help? It is going to take literally hundreds of hours for me to do this one photo one tag at a time.  ??

    That CSS is complete nonsense. The correct way to remove borders from around links is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/417110.
    If you want to get rid of dotted lines, they are almost certainly caused by the outline property. However, outlines around links are there for a reason: it provides a visual "you are here" clue to people who navigate the web with the keyboard, either through preference or because of disability. You shouldn't remove the dotted outline without providing a different visual clue.

  • How could I Import RAW  photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

    How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
    RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
    any one can help?

    This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
    Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
    Don't forget to tick the backup box.
    Hope this helps. Peter

  • Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?

    Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?
    If so how do I accomplish this act?
    Are their additional menus available for Encore CS4?

    The Menus in PrE are in Menu Sets. Each set is a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. As PrE does the authoring semi-automatically, there are many "extras" in those PSD's, in the Button Layer Sets. All you have to do is make a Copy of your two Menus into a separate folder, so that you do not worry about messing up your Menu Sets in PrE. I'd do this in a new sub-folder in the Encore Library folder hierarchy. Then, Open each of these two Menus in PS. Go in and clean out all of the other languages for the Text and Button Text. Match the Layer Set/Button Layer Set names to those naming conventions in the Encore Library Menus, as you will not be getting any semi-automation. Where you do not need, say a Next Button, just eliminate that Button's Layer Set. Remember, PrE will do this semi-automatically, plus will give you the number of Scene Selection Menus, that your Project calls for - Encore will not. You must count the Scenes, divide by the number of Buttons on that Scene Selection Menu, and do Copies of that Menu, to accommodate what you require.
    As for Encore, it comes with a full compliment of Menus, Buttons, and other Assets, like EM files (Templates), with Motion and Audio Assets. All can be completely customized in PS. Note: in PSElements, I do not believe that you can create Layer Sets, so that will be a limitation. The full PS has no limitations, with the single exception that to change Button Sub-picture Highlight colors, this must be done in Encore's Menu Editor, unless it's been added to PS CS5.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - remember, work on Copies of the two Menus in the PrE Menu Set, and NOT on the originals, or you will be doing a Repair Install to get those back.

  • 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.

  • Editing People tags in Photoshop Elements 11

    I just converted from Photoshop Elements 10 to 11.  I can't find how to edit my people tags in 11.  Is there away?  If so what is it?

    When you double click on a people stack, you can see that there is another switcher Faces<->People on the top left corner of the grid. You may switch to Faces view > right click > Assign as profile picture. The notes you added with People tags in previous versions are not brought upon conversion., unfortunately.
    Thanks

  • Move tags from photoshop elements 10 to photoshop elements 13

    I have thousand of pictures all tagged with people, places, events in PE 10.  Just got PE 13.  When I bring in pictures the tags go under Keywords under Importated Keyword Tags and can't be moved to People Tags; Places Tags; Event tags.
    Is there a way to get them to come in as imported Tags?

    If you 'bring in' pictures by re-importing them in a new empty catalog, the organizer will find the tags recorded in the picture files themselves. It will not find the keyword/categories which are recorded in the catalog... unless you have saved that hierarchy before, which I'll explain later.
    - If you install PSE13 on the same computer, you don't reimport your picture files. You simply agree to the conversion proposal in the installation process. A new catalog is created including everything in the keyword/categories hierarchy and your albums, stacks, version sets etc. If you don't agree at installation time, you can always use the catalog manager later to convert any older catalog.
    - if you install on another computer, use the backup/restore method. Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
    - If for some reason you choose to re-import your files after using the 'write metadata to files' function, save your categories hierarchy in a text file : small drop-down menu in the title bar of the keywords panel. Create the new empty catalog in the new PSE version, and use the same drop-down menu to restore the hierarchy. Then you can import your picture files and the tags will go in the right hierarchy. Note that you won't recover albums etc like in the two previous solutions.
