PSE 13 "Import Keyword Tags From File" Fails

Whenever I try to do the above command, it fails. As shown in the attached figure it gets to 9%. Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this error?
Thanks in advance.

is there a way to import tags from PSE 12
The PSE 12 Organizer and LR 5 use different file formats for exporting and importing keyword hierarchies. PSE uses XML format, while LR 5 uses a tab-separated format.  If you're a programmer or technically minded, you could convert from one to the other using your favorite scripting language.
But the approach suggested by dj_paige can be modified to accomplish what you want without scripting, by copying the keyword hierarchy from the "upgraded" LR catalog that was created from your PSE catalog to your "good" LR catalog:
1. Make a manual backup of your "good" LR catalog: Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog.
2. In LR, open the catalog that you created previously by upgrading (converting) the PSE catalog -- you can usually get to that catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
3. Go to grid view in the Library by doing Window > Library followed by View > Grid (usually you're already in Library grid view, but just in case...)
4. Make sure the Keyword List panel is showing on the right by doing Window > Panels > Keyword List.
5. You should see the keyword hierarchy from your PSE catalog.  If you don't, stop and post a screen shot of the entire LR screen.
6. Do Metadata > Export Keywords to export those keywords as a LR-format text file.
7. Open your "good" LR catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
8. Do Metadata > Import Keywords and select the file you exported in step 6.
9. All the keywords that were exported in step 6 will be added to the current catalog, and there will be duplicate keywords if there were already keywords of the same name in the catalog.  Those new keywords will not be attached to any existing photos in the current catalog.

  • How do i import keyword tags from PSE12?

    I have just downloaded PS and LR5 from Adobe CC. I was using Photoshop Elements 12. How can I import my keyword tags from the PSE Organizer. I saved them as .txt files but they will not import because they contain "special characters." What do I do?  Please do not tell me I have to start over... ~

  • Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into another catalogue?

    Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into a another catalogue?

    Two problems :
    1 - You can't merge catalogs in PSE
    2 - The usual workaround is to 'write metadata to files', export the files and 'get' them into the other catalog. But you can't write metadata to files with video files.
    The only thing you could do would be to duplicate the catalog and delete all pictures other than your ninety videos...

  • Compare 'Folder tags' to imported Keyword Tags

    I have asked questions about thumbnails in PSE11 that aren't being correctly displayed ,but I have yet to get any answers.
    I though perhaps I should breakdown the problem into easier component to see if I can get to understand just what is going on & be able to fix the problem myself.
    For instance if I open the 'My Folders' I see a list of file names that correspond to those 'imported keyword tags.'  If I take a folder called China I see the thumbnails & when I hover the mouse I see that it has tags China,Beijing area & my wife's name.  If I were then to go to the imported Keyword Tags & I can see a tag 'Dubai'.  Just to see what happens I drag the picture to the Dubai tag.  This is accepted.  Because if I go back to the original tag I now see tags China,Beijing area,& my wife's name as well as Dubai.
    If I go the see the folder 'Dubai' in my folders the picture doesn't appear.  Why not? This is just a crazy experiment but I can't make out what happened.  Any Ideas?

    Hi,
    Photoshop Elements does not enforce a direct relationship between Folders and Tags - they are different ways to view your images.
    If you start by showing all media and then select a folder, you will get the all the images in that folder shown.
    If you start by showing all media and then select a tag, you will see all the images with that tag.
    If you start by showing all media, then select a folder and then select a tag, you get all the images in that folder that have the selected tag.
    A tag can be applied to any image irrespective of which folder it is in.
    For instance, if you have two folders called Holiday 2012 & Holiday 2013 with photos of your holidays for each of the years and in each year you have a photo of the same monument, you could tag those photos with the monument name. Later you could view all the holiday photos for a particular year or you could show the photos of the monument for the two years.
    It is possible to create tags from the folder name but the relationship is not maintained.
    The fact that you talk about "Imported keyword tags" suggests that you entered the tags outside of Photoshop elements before you imported them. If you had a previous version of Photoshop elements, the normal approach is to convert the old catalog. That way the tags would show up in the original structure rather than be "imported".
    I hope that the above helps - forgive me if I stated what you already knew.

  • 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.

  • Elements Organiser 10 in Windows 8 Lost the 'Imported Keyword Tag'

    I have a similar situation.  In upgrading from Elements 7 to 11 all my keyword tags are lost; both in the keyword panel and the tags on each of  my imported pictures.  I didn't install the Elements 11 I had a tech do it when I took my computer in for other issues, so I'm not sure of any of the specific steps taken when this was done.  Any way to get these back short of "tagging" each picture again?

  • Import XMP Metadata From File

    In Beta4, the Import XMP Metadata From File command would import data found in an xmp file.
    In V1, it's not working...or am I missing something.
    (I do understand that Export XMP to File will write the data into the image file itself.)
    Ideas?

  • Retrieving missing keyword tags from a previous version of Photoshop Elements

    I just purchased an upgraded version of Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12, but after all my photos were converted to the new version, all of my keyword tags from the previous version are not showing.  How do I retrieve them?

    Thank you so much.  I had tried to use both of those buttons, but I didn't know that I had to use them in that order in order for the tags to show up, and I couldn't find the answer in the Adobe help section, either.  Looks like all my tags are there and the problem is solved.  Thanks again.

  • Import info record from file.

    the client require a programm to import info record from file.especially regard the price. can anyone give me clue about the development. use BDC programm, or import to a table directly?

    hi,
    Ask your ABAPer, he will develope the BDC program for data uploading. or else you can use LSMW also to upload  condition data in Info. Records. in LSMW we dont required any ABAP code.
    hope it helps...

  • Imported keyword tags, image tags, main tags in PSE 12

    I have converted an older catalog to PSE 12 for Mac.  I have tags in Imported Keywords, and that also show up in the Image Tags, but not all show up in the main tags lists (People, Places, Events).  How do I get these all in the main tag groups?

    Saurabh288--
    Yes, now I see the tags under "Image Tags," and if I right click the tag in that spot, I have the option  to remove it.  Thank you.
    As to the Remove Keyword Tag option, "should be" appears to be the operative phrase here. It should be, but in many cases isn't. The option appears for some photos but is grayed out for others, even when the "others" have tags showing under "Image Tags."  But I can live without this option working, since  the "Image Tags" list gives me a woraround.  Thanks again.

  • Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 fails to import an image from file

    We have a standard Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 install. The software repository has been built up by importing the IOS images from the discovered network devices. To implement netflow capabilities on some 3750X switches we need to upgrade the IOS on the chassis and the NM card C3KX-SM10G. I was able to download from Cisco Support the 3750X IOS .tar file and import it from my machines local file system. However, the modules tar file c3kx-sm10g-tar.150-2.SE6.tar fails on the upload from my local file system. When I look at the import rob results they are as follows:
      Image collection from source     SUCCESS
      Copying Image to Staging Location     SUCCESS
      Copying Image to Repository     FAILURE
    I've tried to import just the .bin file but this also fails at the same stage as above.
    I've also tried to scp the file directly into the backend file structure with no success into the folder /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/ifm/swim/jobs with the other images (oddly noticed the above .tar file for the 3750X isn't listed with the other .bin files - although is available through the webGUI).
    I need to distribute the NM .tar file across multiple switches and I'd prefer to use Cisco Prime for the job. Any help would be gratefully received.
    Thanks.

    I had (still have?) the same problem with it not copying the image over. I put in a ticket and they told me to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 2.1-Device Pack 4  pi_2.1device_packs_4-40.ubf which helped but it still fails sometimes.
    I had read a post from another thread about going through software image management to distribute and that seems to work a little better, but still fails sometimes. 
    So I think that there are still quite a few issues in Prime that need worked out.
    We have over many switches that need software upgrades and I was hoping to do it quickly through Prime but I don't want to send out more then one image at a time to switch because I don't want it to fail. So it's a drawback right now, just doing one at a time to make sure it takes.

  • How can I stop thumbnails and keyword tags from rapid movement?

    PSE 10 for Mac: When going through catalog thumbnails or trying to locate a particular keyword tag, the images or the tags just whiz by rapidly.  How can I prevent this?  Thank you.

    I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
    Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

  • Importing people tags from PS Elements 11 to Lightroom 4

    On first use of Lightroom 4, some people tags from PS elements 11 were not imported on the conversion, while others were.  Is there a fix for this?

    I just had the same issue with installing Lightroom 5 for the first time. It spent all day converting my PSE11 catalog. The only people tags it seems to have brought over are the ones that are actually in the files, not in the PSE11 catalog. Which makes it kind of useless.

  • Computer died...now how can I retrieve keyword tags from my old hard drive?

    I got a new computer and installed Elements 9.0 on it.  I am retrieving the pics from my old hard drive just fine but I seem to have lost the majority of my old keyword tags.  Any help?  Thanks.

    If you didn't write the keyword tags to all the photos when your old computer was working, you can't get the tags back by simply retrieving the photos.
    You'll need to retrieve the entire catalog directory.  When you open that old catalog on your new computer, all your photos will be listed as "missing".  Use the Reconnect All Missing Files to connect them by browsing to their current location.
