Issue with Metadata when importing 30K images from Photoshop Elements 7

I'm a new mac user and am moving ~30k images from my PC to my mac. I have photoshop elements 7 that I use on the pc and am moving everything over to Aperture. I maintain all of my organization on the PC using "key words". I made sure to move all of the metadata over to the Mac with the images. However, I would say approx 5,000-10,000 of the images have the wrong Metadata. For example, a key-word "Vacation" is showing up on an image that should say "Christmas". This is just an example and it's creating major issues with my smart albums. The wrong images are in the wrong albums. Help!?!?

Hi Shellie
Is anyone familiar with PSEDBTOOL? I've been told it will do a good job applying metadata to files inside PSE but I'm afraid to run it and have it screw up my current library.
I'm not familiar with that tool. What I will say is that your caution is well founded. If you do try to run anything like that on the PC side, ensure first that you have a backup of any data that might be modified - and that you (a) know how to restore from the backup in case anything goes pear-shaped and (b) you've actually tested your backup (by doing a restore) and are confident with its integrity.
One other thought has occurred to me since earlier. Let's try a different tool...
  – Locate one of your problematic master files - on the Mac side - as exported from PhotoShop Elephants.
  – Open it in Preview. (It lives in the Applications folder.)
  – Select +Tools > Show Inspector+ (if the Inspector is not already showing from an earlier session).
  – Click on the Inspector icon which resembles a simplified traditional magnifying glass.
That displays the keywords in the file.
How do they compare with your expectations (from PSE)? How do they compare with what's showing in Aperture?
This won't solve the problem, but it might just shed some more light on the problem.
Regards,
Gary

    How do I bring tags on images from photoshop elements 8 to photoshop CS6

    Mylenium wrote:
    Ask in the PSE/ PS forums. The simple answer is, though, that unless they are emebedded in the image or exist as sidecar XMP files PS won't use them. It doesn't look inside the PSE catalog files/ database.

    ... which means you have to use the menu /file/write metadata to files so that the tags and ratings are written in the files or sidecar files themselves.

  • Can't import CR2 images into PHotoshop Elements 9

    Please could someone help me with importing CR images from my Canon S120 camera...it just says doesn't recognise file type?

    You need camera raw 8.3 for your camera. It is only compatible with PSE12 or PSE13. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Dark images from Photoshop Elements 11

    Printing from Photoshop Elements produces images much darker than the screen. Several hours on the Chat Line have not resulted in a cure. The images from Windows Print and Epson Easy Print are very good. I've re-loaded PSE11 and checked the drivers. Any ideas?

    Three ideas:
    In Editor>Edit menu>Color settings, check "Always manage Colors for Computer Screens"
    In the printer, check printer to manage colors.
    Turn down the brightness of your computer screen, and calibrate same.

  • Performance issue with FDM when importing data

    In the FDM Web console, a performance issue has been detected when importing data (.txt)
    In less than 10 seconds the ".txt" and the ".log" files are created the INBOX folder (the ".txt" file) and in the OUTBOX\Logs (the ".log" file).
    At that moment, system shows the message "Processing, please wait” during 10 minutes. Eventually the information is displayed, however if we want to see the second page, we have to wait more than 20 seconds.
    It seems a performance issue when system tries to show the imported data in the web page.
    It has been also noted that when a user tries to import a txt file directly clicking on the tab "Select File From Inbox", the user has to also wait other 10 minutes before the information is displayed on the web page.
    Thx in advance!
    Cheers

    Hi Matteo
    How much data is being imported / displayed when users are interacting with the system.
    There is a report that may help you to analyse this but unfortunately I cannot remember what it is called and don't have access to a system to check. I do remember that it breaks down the import process into stages showing how long it takes to process each mapping step and the overall time.
    I suspect that what you are seeing is normal behaviour but that isn't to say that performance improvements are not possible.
    The copying of files is the first part of the import process before FDM then starts the import so that will be quick. The processing is then the time taken to import the records, process the mapping and write to the tables. If users are clicking 'Select file from Inbox' then they are re-importing so it will take just as long as it would for you to import it, they are not just asking to retrieve previously imported data.
    Hope this helps

  • Time modified when importing uploaded images from Gallery

    I'm a fire investigator and several of us use cameras to document a scene. We share the images using mobile.me Gallery. I posted this question nearly a year ago but the problem persists.
    "We use the 24 hour clock setting on all our cameras as opposed to AM/PM. When importing into iPhoto this is not handled properly. 0210 (2:10 AM) and 1410 (2:10 PM) show a date display on the imported photos both as 2:10:00. Lacking an AM or PM suffix or a true display of the 24-hour clock this leads to erroneous and misleading data for the photo.
    For law enforcement documentation purposes this is serious. Is there a setting or pref somewhere that needs to be changed?"
    Suggestions I received included making sure that the 24 hour clock was used as a setting on the camera and the Mac. All of this was checked and is as it should be. The offset between the real time and the time appearing in the iPhoto information panel is a constant amount (e.g. 1410 hours actual shows as 5:10) usually a 3 hour time shift (1410->1710).
    Suggestions to check the EXIF data of the photo(s) underscore the discrepancy. The imported photos' EXIF date/time (as checked with Graphic Converter) remain correct. Only the iPhoto information panel time is off and off consistently.
    Any ideas?
    vince

    Time discrepancies are usually a function of the date and time format set in the SytemPreferences. I do not have this issue. iPhoto respects the 24 hour clock - but then I use the 24 hour clock throughout my system.
    The date and time format is set in the Language and Text PrefPane in System Preferences.

  • Missing stars when importing edited images from Bridge - why?

    Why do my previously rated images from Bridge appear without the stars after conversion to DNG and importation into Lightroom? I am having to use the "Update DNG Preview and Metadata" under the Metadata menu to see the stars again. I thought with CS3 and Lightroom 1.3 metadata between Bridge and Lightroom automatically shows up?

    It works on my system.
    (Rated in Bridge Content Tab by clicking on Star Rating on bottom of thumbnail frame.
    Went to Lightroom, Import Photos from Disk; chose "Copy photos as Digital Negative (DNG) and import", chose a folder to "Copy to" etc.
    The photos appeared in Lightroom with Star Ratings on Thumbnail frames and in the metadata panel.
    I used Bridge CS3 V2.1.1.9, Lightroom V1.3.1 on Windows XP Pro SP2.)

  • "unsupported image file" when importing RAW images from Olympus E-PL1

    When I try to import images save in RAW format on the camera, the images import but they can't be displayed (all I get is a warning triangle with the words "unsupported image format" below it, though in the import preview the images are displayed properly.
    EDIT: just noticed that the E-PL1 isn't listed as being supported, just the E-P1 & 2

    Apple have just included RAW support for the Olympus E-PL1 with the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.3 - iPhoto can now import RAW files from the E-PL1.

  • Issues with nested for loops - saving images from a camera

    Hi all,
    I've written a vi. to capture a specific number of images ('Image No') and save these images, outputted to a folder of my choice.  Each image is identified sequentially.  However, I wish to do a number of iterations ('Run') of this capture sequence, such that the filename of each image would be 'Filename (Run)_(Image No).png', e.g. run 5, image 10 would be 'Filename 5_10.png'.  I have tried a nested for loop for this but I receive an error 'Asynchronous I/O operation in progress' (I've attached a printscreen).
    Can anyone assist me in solving this problem? I preiously posted this in machine Vision but got no response (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/Capturing-image-sequences-issues-with-nested-for-loops/m-p/19...).  Please find attached my vi.

    Miika,
    the problem is not the filenam, but the name of the folder (AHHHHH!). You try to create the same folder in the outer for loop over and over again.... (it is the error message above the '======', not below )

  • Why does Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

    I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

    Welcome to the forums!
    It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
    1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
    You need to be.
    2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
    If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
    3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
    Ap2
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
    Ap3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
    Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.

  • Importing an image from photoshop into FCP7

    Hello
    I have some images in photoshop that I need to bring into FCP7...I need them to look transparent so the image (video) can be seen. The images are coffee stains .I need to know how I import them. Any help would be great. I have imported images before but I think these have to be on layers to get the transparent look.The images are in layers? Do I import the layers?
    Question 2.
    I have a plugin and need to import it into my filters in FCP7..I know this should be easy but could someone help with that also...
    Question 3.
    Does anybody have any advice about Luca visual effects?
      thank you
       philip

    If you want transparency, make an Alpha channel or put the objects on a transparent background in Photoshop. You must save the images in a format that supports transparency such as TIFF.
    You import them by clicking the Import Files button or simply drag onto the FCP Browser from the Finder.
    2. A regular plug in or an FXPlug plugin?
    3. No. Why not use the Contact link on his website and ask the man himself? http://www.lucavisualfx.com/contact.htm

  • How to Import one slideshow from Photoshop Elements 5 into 8?

    Hi!
    Please advise on how to import one slideshow created in Photoshop Elements 5 in to Photoshop Elements 8.
    The customer is trying to do the same, but all he is getting is text captions, not the images.
    I tried doing the same on my station, but could not re-create the problem.
    Please advise. Any link would be highly appreciable.
    Thanks...

    Hi! Thanx for your response.
    It is not clear that he has imported it as wmv or pdf, but the slideshow has to be imported in such a manner that it can still be edited (Captions, effects etc.)
    Creating a wmv or pdf will not allow the same.
    Any Ideas?
