PSE 4 Mystery on Keywords and File Info

I use PSE 4 for organizing my photos only. I edit in PS CS and then "get" the edited files from the External HD to organizer and tag them. The tags show up in File Info as keywords. Great.
If i go back to PS CS and do File Info the keywords there are missing. But if I close it down then. To insure I am not going blind I
go back to the editor in PSE 4 to double check the keywords. Yes they look good. Back to PS CS to verify they are missing and yes, you guessed it they are magically there.
So my assumption is that keywords are posted in PSE 4 but they are not posted in PS CS until I use the PSE 4 Editor (for some unknown reason).
Since all of my photos (thousands) are not edited in PSE 4 does anyone have any idea how to get these keywords displayed when I bring them up in PS CS?
Thanks and hope the above is clear.

Tags are in a proprietary database in the organizer, not in your photos' metadata, unless you tell the organizer to write them there. The downside of writing tags to files is that you cannot unwrite a tag later, except by using an EXIF editor. So if you give a photo the tag 'stupid boss' and then write that to the file, then later the boss's wife wants a copy of the photo, you can remove the tag, but the keyword will still be there unless you use another program to remove it.

  • How to capture path and file info in a JSP?

    Hi, I am developing an JSP in which I am trying to capture the path and file name that I can then write into a database entry.
    For example in MS word when you do file > open a box pops up that you can navigate to the required folder and then click on the file you wish to open.
    I would like to do something like that usign JSP.
    Is this possible?
    If so is there a particular java package I need to import in my JSP and what class would I use to add the file box.
    I am thinking that I would put a button in the JSP which the user clicks on to open the box. When they select the required file and click OK somehow my JSP then captures that path/file name and I can use it in an SQL statement to write to the database.
    Any suggestion would be great thanks.

    All you want is to upload a file from the client to the server, right?
    Google around using keywords jsp+file+upload and you'll get lot of results [1]. The Apache Commons FileUpload [2] is a commonly used one.

  • Hierarchical keywords and Image Info Toolkit question

    I presently use Image Info Toolkit with a controlled vocabulary for keywording and I'm trying to find a way of doing the same thing in Aperture. Here's my present keyword setup:
    IIT works by having a cascading set of keyword windows. You can drill down to the desired level of detail, then apply the entire 'tree' to an image by drag and drop eg.
    Europe > UK > England > North Yorkshire > Whitby.
    All of the words are applied to the IPTC, plus you can assign synonyms EG Europe, EU, EEC.
    I've seen in my demo version of Aperture the ability to create the cascading set of keywords, but it doesn't seem to apply all of the branch, just the bottom word. I see the others are greyed out. Does this mean they are not embedded, or would they be applied on any exported images, say for stock library submissions?
    I'm pretty impressed with my demo version so far and if I can get a workflow I like, I can see me scrapping IIT and Bridge.
    AAny suggestions very welcome.

  • ITunes on two computers - keeping ratings and file info in synch?

    I have my iTunes files on two computers (and thus have used two of the 10 that I am permitted). When I rate a file on one computer, or change the info (to add genre or artist info) on one computer, how can I can duplicate it on the second computer?
    I have thought of backing up all of the files on computer 1 and copying onto computer 2, so that the "new" file info will overwrite the "old" file info. But, will I get charged again against my limit of 10??
    If there is already a string on this, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    If you have the exact same songs on both PCs, and there both networked together on a home network, you may want to look into the share feature in iTunes, especailly if this is a desktop and laptop setup. this way you could keep all the songs on one PC with its ratings and all, and then access them on the other PC over the network

  • Select images using keywords and view slideshow...using what?

    I have a library full of jpeg images that were created either using the export command from LR or by editing in Br/Ps and then savedAs jpeg. Now I want to watch slideshows on my monitor (30" Apple HD Cinema Display). Now I have the following Dilemma:
    - I can start a Search Command in Bridge and narrow it down to exactly the images I want in my slide show. Then from the View menu select Slideshow. The IQ is terrible. True sharpness is only revealed when zooming in 100% but that's not the idea of a slide show.
    - I can also use Apple OS's (Tiger) built-in slide show and start it from the finder. That way I get high quality, fast dissolving slide shows, that are unfortunately limited to the first 100 images in the Finder view. However, in the Finder I cannot select my images using keywords and IPTC info.
    So could there be a simple solution to the problems I'm running into with Bridge?
    Or could there be a nice viewer for MacOS that features the search option I want and renders good images and dissolve option?
    Thanks.

    @Ann Shelbourne: Thanks for your reply. I'm hesitant to upgrade to CS4 at this point. That would mean my only option is to look for a jpeg viewer other than Adobe that can select images based on keywords and iptc data. Would you know one that does?
    @Ramon G Castaneda: I apologise for being an inexperienced forum visitor. I will take note of your advice and follow the posting instructions.
    I checked FAQ's both here and at Adobe, as well as the knowledge base. No results. I also searched the forum.
    My setup: MPB dual core Intel, 2GB RAM, 30GB free disk space. Adobe CS3, just updated to Bridge version 2.1.1.9. No improvement at all so far. According to Ann only CS4 will solve the problem.
    Thank you.

  • Automatic "Write Keyword Tags and Properties Info To Photo"?

    I have PSE8 and one of the reasons I stopped using it was because I had to periodically do a manual "Write Keyword Tags and Properties Info to Photo" so that all the metadata stays with my photos and isn't bound to just the PSE database.  This was very tedious to try and select just the files since I last performed a manual write not to mention if any older files were changed that I didn't know about.
    I see that the caption/title is automatically written to the files when changed but ratings and keywords are not.  Why isn't there any option to write everything automatically when changed?  Is this still the case with PSE9?  Thanks.

    That would take care of newly imported photos but what if someone added a keyword tag later to a photo from several months ago and I didn't know about it.
    No, this takes care of ALL files
    The only way to make sure all are covered is to select all photos in my catalog ...
    This is exactly what 99jon suggested
    ... and write tags which would result in thousands of unnecessary writes.
    If there's no new tag information, then nothing will get written (and even if it did, what's the harm, a photo had 3 tags before, and now it has the exact same 3 tags...)

    When I generate a PDF from Framemaker 9, the File Info can be seen when I open the PDF and look in Properties. However, if I look for the keywords using Adobe Bridge, they are not recognized. Is there something I have to do to make them visible in Adobe Bridge?

    To answer my own question:
    The documentation really sucks.
    I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
    usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
    WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
    The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
    Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
    After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.

  • Cannot copy or paste into  File info in PSE 8

    I have just been upgraded to PSE 8 from
    5. I used to be able to copy, cut and paste  text captions in to the file info box
    when using 5 but that useful function no longer seems to work in
    PSE8. Everything has to be typed in or an XML template created, saved  then loaded.
    Am i missing something or has the  quicker right  click cut and past function disappeared?

    Can you check if similar functionality is working in any other application installed on your machine? There has been no change in this and this should work like it was working. Moreover it is OS specific functionalities and not much commanded by application softwares.
    Please let us know your comments. Keyboard shortcut should work along with right click options of cut/copy.....
    Thanks,

  • Copy Labels (text) in Illustrator file into keyword (file info) field

    I'm curious if there is any way to copy the text in an illustrator file, and paste it into the keyword field within the file info dialog box, with those words being separated by commas.
    If I do this manually, the text is pasted as one long running word, making the keywords useless.
    I do have an applescript which extracts the text from an illustrator file, and pastes it into an excel file, separating the words with commas, with file name. However, it doesn't seem possible to then import this data back in to multiple files. Bridge doesn't appear to be capable of this....
    ..so the alternative I can see would be to get the text directly into the file info box, separated by commas... just not sure how.
    any ideas? I have thousands upon thousands of artfiles that need to be keyworded somehow!

    Hallo Jay,
    I think there is two ways:
    a) Although I have no serious experiences with Bridge scripting I think you need a Bridge script which runs over your Illustrator files, calls an Illustrator script for collected labels and use the Bridge API to write the metadata back into the file.
    b) You write an Illustrator script which runs over the files and collects the labels and creates a text file with these information (file name, keywords). Process this file and use a 3rd party XMP tool for adding these keywords to the file.

    Tom

  • Using DW CS6 and PS CS6 "file info" causes crash+freeze

    Each time I try to use "File Info" in Photoshop or Dreamweaver CS6, a freeze, or crash is the result, and must force quit. Can't seem to find any specifics using keyword search of similar problem.
    The only thing I've done different lately is I've had to work with some 1.5+ GB images. Six MB ram held up okay, only slowing on some filters and a few tools, specifically the clone tool.
    Mac Pro (Early 2009)
    6 GB 1066 MHz
    OS X 10.8.5
    Thanks in advance...

    Did find from your path directions; however, the date of the last report is from 04/21/2013 and don't remember what activity was taking place, only that these recent freezes on using "File/File Info" repeatedly has only occurred over the last two days.
    As I stated previously, I had to physically initiate a "force quit" the application when above action opened a blank window with the only function available to me being the "expand" green icon button, and was not asked to submit crash report. Therefore, I'm assuming now, if no report goes out to Adobe, then none is saved in the crash report logs.
    Your response is helpful though in expanding my personal knowledge base, as I had never had a reason to research said reports up to this time. Over my twenty years of using Mac's and Adobe products for my personal use I've had remarkably few serious incidents.
    I certainly couldn't gain any information from viewing the report. HTML and CSS I'm comfortable with, but this (system inner workings) might as well be written in Latin.
    I do thank you for your attempt to help, and as I said, I have learned a little bit more; just not enough to attempt brain surgery yet.

  • What happened to Photoshop CC's keyword and info memory?

    Since a very early version of Photoshop, when using the File Info section, (Document Title, Description, Keywords... pretty much every field), photoshop would remember generally speaking the last 20 entries in each field. This made it quite quick to add data.
    Since I upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 (from the earlier version of Photoshop CC), this remembering feature is completely gone.
    Is there an easy way to bring this back?
    I am running photoshop on OSX (latest version).

    It's been a few days there, so just wondering if anyone has an answer or if my question wasn't clear enough. My workload has increased enormously since I don't have my remembered keywords and fields.

  • Write Keyword Tag And Properties Info To Photo

    Hi
    In my old PSE5 on Windows i used the function "File > Write Keyword Tag And Properties Info To Photo".
    I have now moved to Mac and PSE8 and can't find a simmilary fuction.
    I use the Adobe Bridge CS4 to organize and tag my photos, but the tags is store in the *.xmp file.
    How can i write the keywords to the photo file (NEF/RAW) like in PSE5 on Windows ?
    Regards
    PSEonMac

    Hi Thanks for you fast answer.
    I can see what you mean, if i put a keeword on a jpg file it's automatically stored in the jpg file on Mac, nice.
    So this means that if i want to view my photos in tools like iPhoto / Picassa i can only use my keywords if i convert the raw files to jpg.
    (iPhoto can ofcause show the raw file, but no keywords)

  • PSE 10 hangs on "File Info"

    Out of ammunition on this one: I have Photoshop Elements 10 installed on 2 different, but very similarly configured, XP (SP3) machines. The issue involves the editor and accessing "file info" when a .jpg is displayed. On one machine, the file info box displays properly with all the tabs, et al. On the other machine, however, the file info box is **completely blank**....it displays nothing other than a white screen inside the window. What's worse is there is no way to close the file info box and, thus, I have to use task manager to kill PSE. Any suggestions re how to resolve this would be welcome.

    Yes, I have checked and both machines are running the standard font size. The screen resolution is also the same; 1920x1280. Thanks for the response, though.
    Perhaps I'll try a reinstall before I escalate this further. I just have no idea why PSE would hang on the file info box (and why that box would be blank) when all other components of the program seem to be functioning properly.

  • How do you use keywords and info?

    I'm new to iphoto and wondered what keywords and info are intended for.
    How do other people use them?
    Thanks

    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 25k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
    Regards
