Keywords and comments from Canon Zoom Browser EX

My digital camera is a Canon Power Shot S2 IS. Before buying PS Elements 6, I organized photos using the Canon-supplied software, Zoom Browser EX. Many of the photos have keywords and comments using the Zoom Browser formats.
Is it possible to get these keywords and comments attached to the photos once they are in PS Elements 6? Have any of you folks successfully done this? I've looked in the usual help locations, but so far I have not been able to do this. PhotoShop Elements does not seem to know how to look into the Zoombrowser metadata or thumbnail files that go with the Jpeg picture files in each folder.
I use Windows XP.

Dennis,
A quick Web search finds other people asking the same question. The various postings suggest that the Canon Zoombrowser probably stores keywords and captions in a properietary format, rather than in the industry standard metadata sections of the photos themselves (the "EXIF" data) that most other programs, including PSE 6, use. So you may be out of luck.
For example, see this Lightroom thread on the same topic:

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 7   - Comparison with Picasa and Canon Zoom Browser

    I have recently bought a new computer and connected it to a USB hard drive which contained all my photos and a copy of an Adobe Photoshop Elements (APE) 4 catalog which permitted me to run APE 4 directly from the USB drive. The new computer runs on Windows 7 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. When I attempted to open the old catalog, created in APE 4 APE 4, APE 7 needed to convert it. The converted catalog then needed to reconnect with files and this took hours because APE seems to be incapable of sorting this out automatically. On the other hand Picasa 3 dealt with the matter in minutes and Canon Zoom Browser dealt with it in seconds. Why is this? What are the advantages of using APE 7 over Picasa 3 or Canon Zoom Browser?

    I avoid keeping photos on the C Drive of my computer because of adverse past experiences of losing data when problems arose and it was necessary to reinstall Windows. I prefer to use two separate hard disc drives connected to my computer using  USB ports so that I have all photos and catalogs on each drive. PSE catalogs appear to be drive letter specific so that a catalog created on one drive will not function if simply copied to the other. In PSE-4 I overcame this problem by opening the copied catalog and changing all references to drive letters. In PSE-7 I am unable to open the database and my goal is to find a quick and efficient way of modifying a copied catalog so that it functions on a drive different to the one on which the catalog was created.
    Finally, and at long last, a kindred spirit that won't keep photos on the OS drive. I was told as recently as >> yesterday << that my post about saving photos anyplace else but  "C:/" was "non-sequitur".
    Second, I'm sort of accustomed to "USB drive", as a synonym for "flash drive", and "Ext HDD" referring to an external HDD, (this makes sense, at least in my twisted individual perception), so accordingly, I apologize for my knee-jerk lecture about it.  (In hindsight, perhaps the only child in me is expecting too much also).
    I never use external HDDs, but rather install additional HDDs internally to accomplish the same net result. My sensibilities here are, they are quite a bit less expensive, they do the same job, and you don't have addional s*** laying all over the place.
    IMO, you are overthinking the database issue. I get to say that since I have no such ability to do so, and additionally, I have never been unable to reconnect a catalog other than within the normal Windows environment.
    Therefore, I suggest changing the drive letter(s) to that of the old drive(s), and remain in blisslful ignorance as to whether PSE-7 is using the SN# or Drive letter to do its "dirty work".
    As Mr. Ellis has pointed out, you're trying to do too many things at once. I'm going to suggest an "experimental" fix which is sort of backwards from Mr. Ellis', but retains the same spirit.
    Install PSE-4 on the NEW machine! Insert its catalog file into its (PSE-4) correct folder. This location can be found by "Help" > "System Info".
    Upon installation, PSE-4 will generate a new catalog, "My Catalog", therefore you must change the old catalog's name, (say "My Catalog 2"), to avoid a conflict.
    You might have to change the "compatibility" mode for PSE-4 several times, before PSE-7 will be able to follow the file path.
    As an additional note, since PSE-7 is technically, (according to Adobe), "incompatible", you can match its compatibility mode with PSE-4's, at the onset. After you have stabilized the system, change PSE-7's mode back to whatever works best.
    If you need any more info on these operations, please feel free to post back.
    I would like to add, that my PSE-7 in Windows 7 runs poorly in comparision with the same program in the XP environment. This seems not to be "typical", but IMO, worth mentioning.
    Please also bear in mind that you can paste the entire catalog file into the "Open Catalog" dialog box, and PSE will place in its folder for you...!
    Then, assuming the HDD letters are the same, it will reconnect "instantly", or in the case of a PSE-4 ".psa" cat file, PSE-7 will convert it, then open it instantly.
    As an afterthought, by changing the drive letters, then pasting the .psa file into the "Catalog Open" dialog box, you do not have to make any additional installations of PSE, nor muck about in any database.

  • Acrobat X and XI - SharePoint Integration - Not Supporting SharePoint Fields Keywords and Comments

    Hi there,
    Only a limited number of our staff have access to Acrobat, but they all have access to Acrobat Reader X.
    When users use ‘Save As’ to save PDF files directly to a SharePoint 2007 Document Library, they are correctly requested to complete SharePoint meta-data, following selecting the appropriate Content Type.
    All of the required meta-data is present with the exception of SharePoint’s built-in Columns ‘Keywords’ and ‘Comments’ (both multi-line text Columns).
    All of the Columns which we have defined are present, including multi-line text Columns.
    ‘Keywords’ is a required Column for all of our documents and hence users cannot check-in their PDF documents.
    I know of others who have experienced this problem, and testing at home confirms that the problem also presents with SharePoint 2010.
    I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader XI. Alas, the issue remains.
    Thank you,

    Hi mchagar <http://forums.adobe.com/people/mchagar> ,
    Thanks for your reply!!
    Because we have tens of thousands of existing items and documents which use SharePoint’s default Keywords, and many document libraries, we are keen to wait for an Adobe solution.
    We are aware that we could create an additional column and copy Keywords to the new column. It is simply a large amount of work in a Corporate Environment, for no reason.
    Hopefully Adobe will improve their products to include support for built-in SharePoint fields.
    We’ll wait a bit longer.
    Thank you,

  • Exporting keywords and comments?

    Is there a way to export keywords, or comments?
    Basically my iPhoto library is getting too big and running slow, so what I want to do is move all of the "older" photos onto an external drive and be able to find the pics using a spotlight search, but not keeping them in iPhoto.
    Thanks,
    "D"

    Dana:
    Spotlight can find keyworded images in an iPhoto library located on an external HD. One way to do what you want is what Lori suggested, copy your library to the external, open it and delete those photos you plan on keeping on the boot drive library. Then open your boot drive library and delete those that are in the external drive library. To make it easier you can create a new keyword for those destined to the external drive.
    The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you easily move between your multiple libraries and copy single or multiple files from one to another while keeping the keywords and other information intact. iPhoto Buddy is another application that lets you quickly change libraries but does not have the file copy capability. For best results turn off ownership on the external drive by selecting it, typing Command-I and then find the ownership part of the Info window where you can click on the "ignore ownership" checkbox.

  • IPhoto keywords and comments are gone

    I just bought the new iMac G5 (iSight) to replace my G4. Before I sold the G4, copied my 6000-picture iPhoto folder to the G5 using a Firewire cable. I then used the Migration Assistant to do the transfer from the G4 to the G5, again using a Firewire cable. Them I sold the G4. When I first launched iPhoto, it was empty. I then relaunched iPhoto while pressing the Option key. I told iPhoto where my album was. It worked, but none of the keywords or comments made it through the transfer. Everytime I imported a picture, I give it some keywords (e.g. Christmas, 2005, etc.) and some comments. But all this is now gone. Any solution to me predicament would be appreciated!

    Daniel,
    Is your short user name the same on the new G5 as it was on the G4?
    Well, check the permissions on the iPhoto Library folder just to make sure permissions are set for your user name on the G5.
    Highlight the iPhoto Library folder
    Hit command I
    In the next window make sure you are the owner and have Read/Write permissions. Hit the button at the bottom of the window.
    Also a rebuild might help....or not.
    Try this:
    Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
    Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
    Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
    Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
    You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
    This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

  • HT5500 how can i get "via iOS" in my postings and comments from my iPhone?

    how can i get "via iOS" in my postings and comments on facebook from my iPhone?

    I have the same issue.  NO "via ios" ONLY "via mobile"
    iPhone 4 - IOS 6.0.1
    iPad 3rd Generation IOS 6.0.1
    FB App installed both devices from Settings//Facebook/Install App using IOS FB Integration with my username/password.
    Troubleshooting Done to this point -
    Uninstalled FB on iPhone and reinstalled again using the FB in Settings/Facebook/Install App. Entered my username/password in Settings/Facebook.
    Turned Wi-Fi off and posted using Cellular connection  (says via mobile).
    Turned Cellular off and posted connected to Wi-Fi  (says via mobile)
    Set iPad 3 back to factory default.
    Reinstalled everything fresh (did not use iCloud backup).
    Installed FB app from Settings/Facebook/Install App. and entered username/password in Settings/Facebook.
    Turned Wi-Fi off and posted using 4G cellular connection.  (says via mobile)
    Turned 4G Cellular off and posted via Wi-Fi  (says via mobile)
    ALL of my posts from both devices show as being "via mobile". This is extremely frustrating since everyone else in the world seems to post status/comments/pictures/etc from their iPhones and iPads and get the "via IOS" except me.
    At first I thought maybe it was an iPhone 4 issue, but the iPad 3 is the newest version of iPad and even it says "posted via mobile" instead of "ios". 

  • How can I import keywords and albums from iphoto 5?

    I have new imac with iPhoto 7.1. I'd like to import the keywords and albums along with the pics from my old imac and iphoto 5. Photos import, but not tags or albums. Any suggestions?

    Roy
    The trick is not to import, but to update.
    Copy the library from the old mac to the new one, then hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Select 'Choose Library' and point iPhoto at this old one and it will update it to a v7 library, including albums and keywords.
    If you already have a new library on your new machine, then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge them or to move the pics from the older to the newer.

  • Must I "Log and Transfer" from Canon HG 10?

    I have a Canon HG 10 (which is an HDD camcorder) and I'm using a 2.2 ghz macbook pro with OS 10.5.6. I can open the camera's disk image on my desktop and copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and everything seems to be there. Question: can I simply navigate to the video clip folder and import the clips into FCE, or would it be more complicated?
    In the past, if I copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and then make a disk image out of it, imovie has treated the disk image like a camcorder (I haven't tried this yet with FCE), but I'd rather not have to make the AVCHD folder into a disk image-- doesn't seem like this should be necessary. Thanks

    I want to keep a duplicate of the camera's information, before it is imported into FCE. I can log and transfer from the camera, but I'd like to keep an exact duplicate of the video camera's disk information on another hard disk even after it has been deleted from the camera. Also, it seems to not take nearly as long to open the camera's disk image and copy the files than it takes to log and transfer into FCE, from the camera, so apparently I don't have to keep the camera connected to the computer as long as long as I can retrieve the files from the copy later.

  • Can Aperture import keywords and ratings from Lightroom?

    Decided to download the Aperture trial, and imported 17,000 images without a problem until I realised that my keywords and star ratings are missing (and even some vertical shots are horizontal).
    Is there a way to get Aperture to look at the sidecar files generated by Lightroom? Without that I'm unlikely to use Aperture for anything other than books that iPhoto can't do.
    Thanks,
    Nigel

    Unfortunately, no.
    It might be possible by use of AppleScript (the script would need to parse the XML files and put this data into Aperture), but this would not be trivial to write and to the best of my knowledge nobody has done it.
    It's a shame, as Aperture can export XMP sidecar files so LR will pick up Aperture ratings and keywords (but not adjustments) just fine.

    Facebook likes and facebook comments are associated with a particular URL.
    If your new muse-designed page ends up with the same URL as your old page(i.e. www.foo.com/awesomepage.html) then the likes & comments should show up just fine.
    If your new muse-designed page has a different URL, you could edit the facebook like/comment code to refer to the old URL, and the comments/likes should be shared.
    I think this will only work if the old URL is still reachable(i.e. facebook is going to ping that URL, and if there's nothing there I think it complains)

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
    Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.
