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

How do I import pictures and videos from my iphone4 to my computer and/or itunes?

how do i import pictures and videos to itunes and/or computer?

If for photos/videos in the Camera Roll, iTunes has nothing whatsoever to do with importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll.
I don't believe it is an unreasonable in the least to assume that someone with an iPhone has used a digital camera before and has imported photos from a digital camera at least once with their computer.
And a little advice - people that answer questions here do so voluntarily. It is not a good idea to tell someone who volunteers their time that they didn't answer the question. You may not understand the answer and if not, say so along with I've never imported photos from a digital camera before and/or describe the problem you are having so maybe someone can help you. It is a good idea when asking for help not to assume that someone can read your mind and knows what "I too have problems with this" means exactly.
You're welcome.

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 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.

How do I move my pictures and tags from PE 3.0 to PE 12 on a new Mac?

I have Photoshop Elements 3.0 running on a Windows XP PC computer. I am purchasing a Mac and want to transfer all my pictures with tags to my new Mac. First: Is this possible? Second: What software will I need? Third: How do I do it?

pse 3 is so old i'm not sure there is a migration path, but this shows how to migrate from pse 6+ to pse 12 so you may be able to use the same steps in pse 3, Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

Can you transfer pictures with tags from photo album 2 to Photo organizer 9 (MAC)?

I am switching over to a Mac computer and want to move my 25,000 plus images with various tags on Photo Album 2(windows) to a new program. Is this possible on Photoshop elements 9 or any program?

It's easy enough to get them from Elements 9 in windows to Elements 9 on a mac (if you buy the boxed version you can install on either platform). The tricky part is getting from PSA2 to PSE 9 in windows. See this for more:

If you can update your catalog to PSE 9, here's how to move it to the mac:

Import pictures and videos from my SONY dcr-sx44

I'm trying to import pictures from my SONY DCR-SX44 camcorder but when I plug the camera into the MacBook (as instructed in owner's manual), nothing happens. I'm supposed to see an import screen on the computer, but nothing. Is there some software I'm supposed to load?

IPhone5 no longer importing pictures and videos correctly

I have been able to import pictures and videos from my iPhone 5 to my Windows 7 Pro computer for the last 2 years. However, a few months ago, I couldn't get the iPhone to appear on the computer, so I went into Device Manager and Uninstalled the driver, then plugged the phone in again to let it reinstall the driver. That worked, but now when I try to download again, everything on my computer (browsing on windows, windows import manager, Sony Play Memories) says that there are no files to import. I can take pictures and videos and when I try again, I get the same message, so it's certainly not true. If I browse to the files using explorer, I go to Computer >> Apple iPhone and Internal Storage shows 383 MB free of 14.7 GB. When I browse further down to Internal Storage >> DCIM, the folder is blank. I tried the same trick of deleting and reinstalling the drivers with the same results. I don't know what else to try.

I solved my own problem. Apparently, you now have to log into (unlock) the phone for it to work. That was not the case on some earlier version of IOS.

Need instructions on how to download photos and videos from my Samsung cell to my iPhoto

Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto. Thx

Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.

Import data from photoshop album 4.0

I have purchased a new computer (windows 8) and installed photoshop elements 11. My problem: I used to work with photoshop album 4.0 (on my old pc) and have thousands of pictures mapped to varios tags (person, locations, events, etc.). How can I now import this information from photoshop album into the organizer of photoshop elements 11?

Thanks - this helped a lot!

Import from Photoshop Album PSA to Lightroom (same in Elements?)

Hi,
here my experience with the import from Photoshop Album to Lightroom.
1. Tags and Collection import
> OK
2. Tagging of the imported images
> NOT ALL of the imported pictures where Tagged!!!
This is really annoying, as you have no way to know it
before you search for them.
3. Import of the edited version of the pictures
> When a picture as been edited in Album, only the ORIGINAL one
is imported in Lightroom, not the edited one.
> At least, the edited one could have been imported with the original
in a stack!!
Import functionality is crap for now if you ask me.
What is your experience?
Régis

Because I've used PSA, PS and now CS2 and 3 for years, I had really hoped--indeed, assumed--that LR would be an elegant and trouble-free solution with which to migrate a large and growing catalog away from the slowness and lack of view in PSA, as well as adding RAW-handling ability (since storage dropped through the floor, I shoot JPEG and RAW by default). While the LR interface is pretty and the fleur-de-lis whimsical, LR is in my admittedly-limited experience neither elegant nor trouble-free from a database perspective. Perhaps in a few versions it will be, but it isn't now. The PSA import was a joke, operations are slow, and despite preference settings, it fires up whenever I hook up anything which XP considers to be an external drive. I have since licensed a previously-installed demo copy of IMatch, which I'd been holding off doing based on my flased LR assumption. Importing PSA to IMatch requires some simple under-the-hood work in Access (there are posted routines to accomplish this), but once that was done the import was flawless, with all PSA tags in their own cubbyhole and associated with the proper images. Why Adobe didn't facilitate this is a real head-scratcher.

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 and videos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements.
http://adobe.ly/QAckAp

The title implies "importing photos & videos from previous versions" and only deals with "Organizer". It does not mention if regular "JPG" or other formats need to change. It does not discuss if images have been moved from one location to another folder or directory. It does not discuss any issues of previous versions or backward compatability of formats.

Will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5

will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5?

See:

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.
