Photoshop Album Tags

Hallo,
ich hätte da mal ne Frage zu den Tags in PSA (nutze die 2er Vollversion). Wie ist das bei einer Formatierung der Featplatte, kann man die Tags irgendwie exportieren oder ist die ganze Arbeit nach einer Neuinstallation des Betriebssystems u. PSA dann futsch?
Grüsse
Jürgen

Die Tags (ebenso wie Kollektionen und alle anderen wichtigen Daten) speichert PSA in der Katalogdatei "Meine Bilder.psa". Diese liegt üblicherweise in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Photoshop Album\Kataloge".
Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten, ein Backup für Notfälle anzufertigen:
1. Über PSA selbst, Menü "Datei > Backup > Katalog-Backup", auf CD/DVD oder auf eine (externe) Festplatte.
2. Selbst alle Bilder sowie die oben erwähnte Katalogdatei sichern. Dabei ist zu beachten, daß zum Wiederherstellen einer solchen Sicherung die Biler in _genau_ dieselbe Verzeichnisstruktur zurückkopiert werden müssen. Der Speicherort für die Katalogdatei selbst kann beliebig gewählt werden.
Alexander.

Ability to use Adobe Photoshop Album tags in CS3 Bridge

I currently have 15,250 photos and 155 tags entered in Adobe Photoshop album. I would like the ability to convert, import or somehow use these tags in CS3 Bridge without reentering everything. PLEASE!

I request the answer to the same question.

Old Photoshop Album Tags used in Lightroom?

I have a very old but often used Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 product with about 8,000 photos tagged. I also have a very old version of PhotoShop CS I use.
I am trying to avoid going back and setting tags (again) for that many photos. If I upgrade and get Lightroom - will it read the "tags" associated with the photos that I set using Adobe Photoshop Album (and allow me to stop using that old product)?
Thx.

Not completely certain about PSE2, but I successfully imported from PSE3 and that worked OK. I believe there's a couple of ways you can do this. Firstly if you write the tags out to the original image files first (I seem to recall an option in PSE3 to explicitly do this) and then just import the image files, the tags should be recognized. Alternatively I think you can actually import the PSE catalog, in which case the tags will be directly picked from there instead (or as well!).
Suggest you just download the free 30 day trial of LR and experiment a little before committing your $$$ (or GBP, EUR, etc.). I had a few gliches, but it basically worked in the end.

Using Photoshop Album tags on iPod

I have uploaded about 7,500 photos form photoshop album on my iPod. It is all in one big directory. How can I organise them using tags as we can with music?

I am sorry but we no longer have older software available for download. I am not sure Photoshop Album Starter Edition would even function in Windows 7.
I would recommend trying Photoshop Elements 10 on your new computer. It has all the features of Photoshop Album Starter Editon plus many more. On top of that it has been designed to work with Windows 7. You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

Ugrade from Photoshop Album 3.2

Hello, I still use Adobe Photoshop Album 3.2 Starter Edition and think of upgrading to Photoshop Elements. If I do so, is the database of Photoshop Album (Tags, Albums,...) still available and usable in Elements? Am I loosing information available in Photoshop Album? Is Elements offering all features of Photoshop Album?
THX for Your answers

You can upgrade from Photoshop album 3.2 to Elements 11 successfully. No information gets lost in conversion process.

Can I use tags I created in SE if I upgrade to Photoshop Album V2?

I am changing from Album Starter Edition 3 to Photoshop Album V2. I have already created a lot of tags in SE3. Can these be reused when I install Album V2?

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.

Converting tags from V1 Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements v4?

I was able to convert my pictures from V1 Photoshop Album as well as the captions, however the tags do not seem to be converted to Photoshop Elements v4. I was told that by using Photoshop Elements v4 the tags would come over. Anyone have suggestions?

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.

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

Photoshop Album 3.0 Bilder mit Tags auf DVD brennen? Geht das?

Hallo,
ich möchte Photoshop Album 3.0 Bilder mit ihren TAGS auf DVD brennen (=sichern). Ich finde aber im Programm keinen Weg dorthin.
Wichtig ist, dass die jeweiligen TAGS zusammen mit den Bildern auf DVD mit gesichert werden.
Wie geht das bitte? Muss ich software zukaufen?
Wäre froh für einen Tip!
maglev2020

Im Prinzip ja. Es gibt auch eine kostenfreie Version: "Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0". Das ist aber eine reine Album oder auch Organizer Version mit eingeschränkten Funktionen. Ob da das Brennen etc möglich ist weiß ich nicht; vermutlich nicht.
Das "Album" ist keine Version. PSE 3.0 und 4.0 besteht imPrinzip aus zwei Teilen oder auch Prgrammen. Dem Album, in der PSE Terminologie auch "Organizer" genannt, sowie dem Editor, also demjenigen Programm was dann die eigentliche Bildbearbeitung vornimmt. Beide Programme sind durchaus auch separat zu starten. Sie gehen allerdings sehr eng Hand in Hand sozusagen. Man sucht und betrachtet die Fotos im Organizer um sie dann ggf. an den Editor zu übergeben, der dann die mehr oder weniger gewünschten Änderungen vornimmt, und anschließend diese Änderungen als eine neue, zusätzliche Datei als sog. "Versionssatz" dann wieder im Organzer, also dem Album, abspeichert; im großen und ganzen. Anders formuliert: "Bildbetrachter" und "Bildbearbeitungsprogramm" sind hier zwar absolut getrennt voneinander, aber dennoch sehr eng miteinander verbunden. Die Übergaben von dem einen zum anderen Programm und auch wieder rückwärts gestalten sich gerade in PSE 4.0 als sehr flüssig. Man muß sich hier allerdings unbedingt mit der für dieses Programm typischen Denkweise vertraut machen, sonst erleidet man Schiffbruch. Z.B. sollte man, wenn es um das Umbenennen oder verschieben von Dateien geht, dies generell nur noch über den Organizer machen. Der Explorer sollte dann Tabu sein, andernfalls kommt Murks heraus!!!

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.

Will Photoshop Album 3.2 process all tags and catalogs from v2.0?

I want to upgrade to Photoshop Album 3.2 but the last time I tried that a year ago I could not figure out how to move my tags and catalogs. Did I do something wrong or has this been fixed?

How can I transfer my Photos INCLUDING tags from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 on a new?

I have some thousand photos on my old PC using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2.
How can I transfer them on a new PC (and a new more professional photoshop edition) without losing the tags?
Thanks for any help.

If you still have your 3.2 psa catalog in your "My Catalogs" folder, try
downloading PSE5 from here:
http://www.johnrellis.com/photoshop_elements_5.0_trial_version.exe.
PSE5 should be able to find your catalog and you can convert it into PSE5.
If that doesn't work, it may be because you weren't able to run "reconnect
all missing files" in PSA3.2 before attempting the conversion. If all your
photos were still connected, this should work. Then you can open PSE8 and
convert PSE5 into PSE8. Do a "reconnect all missing files" in PSE5 before
you do the conversion. Even though all my files were connected when I
converted PSA2 into PSE5, PSE5 had about 30 unconnected photos.
Good luck!

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
