Importing Photoshop Elements tags into iPhoto 09 keywords

I am looking for a method of importing my Photoshop Elements photos & videos with their tags into iPhoto as keywords. I've seen several posts on this topic but none quite work for my situation. I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation. I have the following...
* iPhoto 09
* PSE 5.0
* 10K+ photos with an average of 2-3 tags each
* want to import tags for video clips as well as for photos
Here's what I've tried...
* iPhoto did actually import a random few pictures with the tags (maybe 12 out of 10K)
* PSE DB Tool to write the tag data to the files. This requires PSE 6.0 or greater (i have 5.0). http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/
* PSE native tag writing. Doesn't write tags on video clips and is littered with bugs anyway.
* Other tag importing tool at http://www.cv2h.com/PSA2iPhoto/Welcome.html. Does not work with iPhoto 09.
Any ideas?

The IPTC metadata is for image files only. Video files can't have that metadata written to the file. Application can assign metadata to video files but they are kept in databases associated with the application and point to the video file.
Some DAM (digital asset management) applications can add keywords, etc. to video files but the data stays with the application.

  • Import Photoshop Elements tags

    Hi,
    I am new with iPhoto and wonder if it is possible to import the library I have in Photoshop elements today. A number of tags I want to keep.
    Stefan

    I have the same issue. How do I write the data? Also, I already had my photos transferred over to my new macbookpro from my Dell by Apple One-to-one service. I specifically asked about preserving all of my elements tags before I left my computers with them. I don't see any of my tags in iphoto. My photos are now organized by the folders they were in. Unfortunately, my folders do not correspond to any rhyme or reason because I always used elements to organize my photos. HELP!!! ;-D

  • Elements tags into Lightroom keywords AND maintain structure?

    Hi, I would like to move from using Elements to using Lightroom. Whilst I realise that I can import my catalogue and photos, which should also create all my keywords, I am concerned that the existing keywords/tags parent/child structure would be lost? They would be created as a single contiguous list?
    Can anyone confirm this is the case, and if so, does anyone know how to go about moving the tags across whilst maintaining the original structure AND remaining associated with the correct photos?
    Thanks,
    Gareth

    Just to add to what Jeremy2 said:
    You do NOT import the photos. Let me say that again. You do NOT import the photos.
    You use the menu command File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog

  • Importing photoshop elements 5 (for PC) into iphoto

    I'm sure this question has been asked many times and I would have searched for it, but I can't find the "search this forum" button. I apologize in advance for being blind/daft.
    So I just switched from Win/Linux to Mac (yay!). I have THOUSANDS of photos all meticulously tagged with Adobe Photoshop Elements 5. Is there a way to import the photoshop elements album to iPhoto and keep all the metadata?

    Yes if the metadata is written to the IPTC.

  • Import photos from adobe photoshop elements (win) to Iphoto 08

    Hi,
    I just got an imac and I want to import my old photos and adobe photoshop element tags from my windows machine. I want to keep the tags the same. Does any one have any suggestions?
    -D

    Yes, use File>Write tags and properties to file and Elements should pick up the metadata keywords this creates. However, if you have raw files or tiffs from an epson scanner, the metadata creation can be unreliable.

  • Possible to import Photoshop Elements 8 Catalog into Lightroom?

    Is it possibel to import a catalog from Photoshop Elements 8 into the latest version of Lightroom?  I've kind of outgrown some of Element's functionality and I'd like to take Lightroom for a spin.  However, it would be useless if it won't import my complex set of albums, tags, etc.

    Lightroom 2 cannot convert PSE8 catalogs. (Maybe Lightroom 3 will do so, but no one really knows...)
    You can do a partial import. Using psedbtool, write your metadata to the photo files, then import the individual photos into Lightroom 2. You will lose collection membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 to iphoto 11 conversion?

    I'm onsidering switching to iMac from PC (Vista).  I have all my photos organized (tagged) in Photoshop Elements 7.  Will I be able to transfer them, with the corresponding tags into iphoto 11?

    Where are the tags stored?  If they are in the EXIF, maybe.  However, there is a PSE for Mac which should let you switch seemlessly.  You should ask in the iPhoto forum for better answers.

  • Importing edited version back into iPhoto

    I have certain photos that I keep in iPhoto. I was in Aperture and dragged a couple photos over for editing purposes. Now, when I want to bring the new version back into iPhoto it is not showing up in the Aperture library browser within iPhoto. I have Aperture 3.0.1 and iPhoto 09.
    Thanks!

  • How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12?

    How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12? Do I restore from a backup?  I have over 12,000 pics ( a good portion with multiple versions) and don't want to lose captions and metadata. Thank you in advance for your help.

    If this is on the same computer just install PSE 12. It should find your old catalog and upgrade it to PSE 12. If for some reason it doesn't, then go to file>manage catalogs, find your old catalog and tell PSE 12 to convert it.
    If this is a new computer, then yes, full backup and restore.

  • I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences

    I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my advaced preferences drop down, it used to be there, how do I get it back again?

    Hi, Yes you are correct in iPhoto Prefernces, Advanced tab editing I used to have iPhoto and "Use external editor.". It changed to iPhoto and iPhoto Library. I have einstaleed PSE 9 and downloaded the update.  There is still no lkink to external editor in the drop down box.  Have I done something wrong inadvertently or is there a clitch?  can you reinstal iPhoto.  I am new to Macs. Every thing came preinstalled.  it is the top of the range system with 16 Gb of rRAM, 2 Tb hard drive to top graphics card etc.  I used to be on Windows PC.  Have more than 27,000 photos on the system.  Much apprecite your reply and interest in this.

  • My iPhone 4s is not importing my latest photos into iPhoto, though it opens iPhoto as if it were going to do it.

    My iPhone 4s is not importing my latest photos into iPhoto, though it opens iPhoto as if it were going to do it.  When I plug my iPhone into my iMac, it opens iPhoto, but then it does not import my newest photos.  Any fixes?  This used to work fine.

    Sep 13, 2007 3:41 AM (in response to jared57)
    I have experienced the exact same thing... I figured out a way around it, which seems to work every time. 1. quit iTunes
    2. open iPhoto
    3. unplug the iphone usb cable from the computer
    4. turn your phone on, and unlock it.
    5. plug in the usb cable. after about 10 seconds or so, iPhoto should prompt you with items to import. -p 

  • How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

    Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

    I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
    Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

  • How can I change Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 into English version?

    It's strange for the second download shows Franch, how to change it to English version? Thanks.

    Thanks for response.  I purchase Photoshop Elements 10 from App store, the first install is ok-in English, but my computer reset for some problem, so I installed it again. But this time, it's not English version but the other that I cannot recognize. How can I do? I forgot to save the serial number, where can I check it?
    Thanks for help.

    The language is tied to the serial number.  Did you purchase the software directly from Adobe?
