Problems with PSE 8 & Windows Live Photo Gallery

I recently had to purchase a new laptop and it came preloaded with Windows 7. I installed PSE8 and have had no problems with photos I scanned,etc. But Windows 7 defaults import photos from my camera to Windows Live Photo Gallery. My problem is now I can't get PSE8 to import from the clipboard. It is grayed out and I can't click it. How dop I get my photos into PSE8 and then get the two programs to play right together?

Open Organizer and click File à Get Photos & Videos à From Files & Folders
Navigate to the folder used by Windows and press Ctrl+A to select all and hit open or get media.

In windows live photo gallery it says an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

in windows live photo gallery it keeps saying an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,

HT201302 Is it better to save photos using windows photo gallery or windows live photo gallery?

Is it better to save photos from iphone 4s to laptop ..windows 7... using windows photo gallery or windows live photo gallery? ive used both and it appears to be adding all photos each time i do it despite which one i use. My laptop is filling up with the same photos 2,3,4,5 times.... Depending what was on my phone at the time.... the older photos have been repeated more often. I thought when importing to laptop only new photos would be added... how do I change this?
Also now I have so many duplicates i dont know which ones to delete as some have been saved as jpg... , imgJPG...., vcm_s_kf.... and vcm_s_kf_repr.... Why? and which ones do I delete?
I have deleted some photos and pictures which look like computers, printers , docket printers etc Since then my Media Gallery does not work. Have I accidently deleted a driver or something? or is Media Gallery just overloaded?

As long as you've backed up your photos, what you use is really a matter of personal preference. To avoid duplicates, pick one program. Getting rid of duplicates that you already have is probably going to mean going through the photos one by one.
For problems with Windows Software, you're probably better off posting on a Windows forum.
Best of luck.

Import People tags from Windows Live Photo Gallery

I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery for years and have over 15k images that have people tags embedded in the metadata for the files. I recently downloaded the Photoshop Elements 13 trial and am trying to determine if the organizer that ships with it will meet my needs, however, I am not seeing a way to import People tags from my existing images. I have imported the images, and most of the photo tags appear to have been imported, but not the people tags. Is there any built-in way to import people tags from the file-based EXIF metadata, or an external tool or add-in that might be able to bring my WLPG People Tags into PE13?
Thanks!

Adding a 'Me too' to bump this up. Doing the '30 day evaluation' as I'm looking to change only because MSFT has abandoned the product and I some better editing on things like 'healing/clone brush' for the picture's I scan (using the very old Digital Image Pro). Google's Picasa has no problem recognizing them including the location of the face selection (though it does like to recognize over top of them sometimes).
I can deal with some of the amazingly frustrating clunkiness of the UI and navigation (they seriously need to hire some new usability designers) but it is a show stopper if the People aspect won't recognize existing tags from WLG and/or Picasa.

Export from Aperture to edit in Windows Live Photo Gallery

Hi.
I'm hoping to work collaboratively with a colleague, in a scenario where I take & edit photos, then pass them over for a possible final touch up before being forwarded to clients.
I use Mac OSX 10.6 and Aperture. He uses Windows Vista and Windows Live Photo Gallery.
The problem we've come up against is this: he is unable to edit the image I've exported from Aperture. I'm exporting as .JPG, and he's able to read them ok - i.e. load it into Windows Live Photo Gallery, but not alter the image.
Does anyone have a similar workflow, exporting from Aperture, then editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery?
Thanks in advance,
PB

Windows Live Photo Gallery stopped importing and scanning from my printer.

Windows Live Photo Gallery was allowing import and scanning from my printer. All of a sudden this feature has stopped working. I no longer get the dialogue box that asks whether I want to import documents or pictures... Could this be a setting
issue?

You can launch it manually.The executable for the Scanner and Camera Wizard is:
Start > Run > Type in wiaacmgr.exe > Press Enter key.

I can't get my iphone 5s to transfer pictures to my computer, windows xp, i keep getting a no pictures found result on everything I have tried. Windows Live Photo Gallery, Scanner and Camera Wizard, and just by opening up my Computer. Advice anyone?

I can't open up anything for my iPhone 5s but my wife's regular iPhone 5 works fine. Nothing shows up when I open up My Computer and double click the Apple iPhone icon. My iPhone keeps asking if I trust this computer. I keep clicking trust. I have no updates pending on my iPhone. I have tried the Scanner and Camera Wizard and also Windows Live Photo Gallery. Can anyone help me with this issue? Is this happening to anyone else? Thanks in advance.

Do you have the latest version of iTunes on the computer? v11.1.4. If you are having issues with Camera and Scanner wizard, it is possible the USB driver for the phone is not fully loaded. You might try resetting the phone and then trying again with the photos.
Also, Microsoft has announced that on April 8, 2014 it will cease all support for XP, I would seriously be looking for a new device soon. This lack of support will cause a myriad of issues in the near future with newer products.
If the reset does not work, you can look at removing and resinstalling iTunes and then plugging the phone back in. This should download the latest drivers. See this support document and follow the instructions exactly for removing and reinstalling iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

I have 100's of photos in Window Live Photo Gallery, how can I stream them from computer to TV via App TV?

I opened the iPod with iFunBox.
Can find no relevant documents other than the single image in the 9th of 9 Cameras.
The other 8 Cameras appear empty.
Am now trying an iCloud sync which appears to be showing the images.
Curious.

Importing Photos From Windows Live Photo Gallery To iPhoto '11

##### Note: I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic but nothing recent, so here it goes #####
Hi -
I am about to receive my new iMac (congratulations to me!) and will soon commense transferring >5,000 photos from my PC. I would like these to transfer into iPhoto.
I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery (WLPG) to tag these photos by various means (location, person, event, etc). I've read that WLPG stores this metadata with the .jpg file in XMP, or Extensible Metadata Platform. The result is that the tagging data is with the photo file. The tags are in a few categories:
People
Events
Places
Each of these categories will have a number of tags (example: Events include: "Joe's 5th birthday", "Christmas '12", etc)
I understand that iPhoto supports data if it embedded in the ITPC. Reading a bit about iPhoto, there look to be a number of homes for this data (Events, Keywords, etc).
Ideally, I would love to have these photos transferred into iPhoto with consistent tagging. Does anyone know how I can maintain this data into iPhoto? Can anyone recommend a tool for the conversion?
Thanks!

My Windows pc crashed and I'm thinking about replacing with the Mac Mini. But like you, I have thousands of tagged photos in Windows Live Gallery. Losing the tags is a non-starter. I really don't care too much about "where" the photo was taken, but I do care about "who" is in the photo and what "event" was occurring when the photo was taken. For example, one photo could be tagged with my daughter's name, my son's name, my wife's name, event of Disneyworld, and the date taken should be just embedded in the photo itself. So four tags for the one photo plus the embedded date taken.
If I migrate to iPhoto on the Mac, will I be able to bring all of those individual tags over easily? What was your final experience now that you've been messing with it for a year? And if you are happy, are you able to sort all you photos by just clicking a person's name and a date range and having iPhoto return all photos with that one person within those dates?
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Migrating from Windows Live Photo Gallery to iPhoto

I'm interested in moving to a Mac, and bringing with me my photo collection, which has been organised (keyworded) using Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Has anybody had any experience with this?
All the keywords assigned using WLPG are stored in the photos as EXIF metadata, and I'm interested in preserving this, to save re-keywording the photos...
Thanks
David

David
If the keywords are written to the correct fields on the Metadata then they will come with the photos to the Mac.
Easiest way to check, pop some on a USB Flash Drive and bring them to a Mac using friend's house or even a local Apple store.

Showing Geotags on iPhone from windows live photo gallery

I use Windows live photo gallery to geotag my photos (along with other details such as face and descriptive tags), however when i try and veiw them on my iphone they dont appear on the map. is there anyway to get them to come up? if not any suggests on apps i can use that will view up and also that you only need to add the address to geotag the photo

I ran a test with iPhoto's rating system and it does'nt seem to export it with the other metadata so it can be read by other apps that have rating systems nor does it read ratings added by another DAM (digital asset management) app, Media Pro 1. So I doubt if it can read ratings from Live Photo Gallery.
I would try adding keywords to those photos to represent the rating, i.e. Five Start for five stars, write them to the files on the PC and see if iPhoto will be able to import the keyword. If it can then a smart album can be created for all photos with that keyword and you can add the rating to all of them at one time. Then do what you want with the keyword.

Cannot print from Windows Live photo gallery

I cannot print from Windows Live Photo Gallery. The printer is connected and has a signal.

This printer is an HP Photosmart Touchscreen. I have since resolved the problem by uninstalling, and reinstalling the printer. Not sure what the problem was, but it is now working. Thank you for your help.

Elements 11 stops working also windows live photo gallery any ideas please

elements 11 stops working also windows live photo gallery also on elements 9 and10 any help would be very welcome please o.s. windows 7

You have to tell PSE to explicitly write the tags back into the industry-standard metadata fields, using the File > Write Keyword Tags command. Beware that it is buggy -- if you find your tags not getting written correctly, you can use the utility psedbtool:
