Tags in PSE & PSA

Hallo,
kann ich die Tags in PSE3 und PSA2 gemeinsam nutzen (werden die Daten irgendwo gespeichert?)
siegmund Schott

Hallo ihr beiden,
da muss ich jetzt nochmal nachfragen:
kann ich sicher davon ausgehen, dass PSE3 meinem ursprünglichen PSA2 Katalog nichts antut sondern nur eine eigene Kopie anfertigt?
Frage deswegen, weil ich dem Risiko aus dem Weg gehen will, dass es meinem Katalog mit 7000 mühsam angelegten Photos incl.Tags etc. (Originale verteilt auf zig CDs und DVDs) durch das Öffnen bzw. Importieren in anderen Programme wie PSE3 destruktiv an den Kragen geht.
Grüße

How to create Sub- Category tags in PSE 12?

I want to be able to create Sub- Category tags in PSE 12 without using the map view. I have tags United States with sub- categories South Carolina and Charleston. I had no problem doing this in PSE11.

I found a very convoluted solution to creating a Places sub-category keytag in PSE12. First I created a new tag by placing an image on a map (using search). The resulting tag created a specfic location such as a street address. I then renamed the new tag with city name. The renamed tag can then be applied to all other desired and selected images. This is much more difficult than in PSE 11. Is there an easier way?

PSE user since the old Album `1. Accumulated a 20K or more photo catalog. Stopped upgrading at PSE 10. How do I translate all the categories, sub categories and tags in PSE 10 to the new versions that look alot like the system in Lightroom??

How do I convert my catalog and the Categories, Sub Categories, and Tags in PSE 10 to the newer versions like PSE 12 or 13??
The new organizer looks a lot like Lightroom with the computers filing system, not the organizer I have been using for about 10 years.
Can I upgrade and somehow retain all the organization I presently have?

Imported people tags in PSE 11 - how do I merge them with existing people tags?

I have just upgraded from PSE 9 to PSE 11 and have imported some pictures that I have tagged in another program. Importing tags for everything other than people works fine (already used tags are recognized and reused). But importing tags for people proved to be a problem. They did not merge automatically with my previous people tags in PSE. My imported people tags ar now placed under "Imported Keyword Tags" in the "Media" workspace. How do I merge or move them to the "People" work space where the people tags for PSE 11 is placed?
I also wonder why people and other tags are put in different places. Is it possible to view all keyword tags in one list/place?

Thanks. That helped a little bit, but not with the merging of the identical imported tags and People tags. They seems to be separate systems? Other tags you can merge by selecting both and right click < Merge Key word tags.
I can of course do it all manually now that I'm able to search for both tag types in Media, but this seems unnecessary and idiotic...

Keyword tags in PSE 2.0?

Can I add keyword tags in PSE 2.0?

Way back in version 2.0, there were separate programs called Photoshop Album, and Photoshop Elements. Purchasing one did not give you the other.
So, if the question is really about Photoshop Elements 2, I think the answer is probably NO.
If the question is really about Photoshop Album 2, the answer is definitely YES ... but ... it might be a good idea to upgrade to a more recent program, because at some point, PSA2 will not run on your new computer with a new operating system, and people have reported difficulty translating PSA2 tags to more current versions of Photoshop Elements software.

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.

Howcan I import tags from PSE 10 into PSE 12?

I've got the albums in PSE 12 but I have much organizational information in the PSE 10 Keyword tags and don't know how to import them. Thanks in advance. Phil Young

Hi,
If you simply want the list of tags without any association to media, you can try this:
Go to PSE10 catalog,Click on the drop down available adjacent to + button in keyword tags and Select Save Keyword Tags to File
Specify the destination where you want the file to be saved.
Now come back to EO12, open the drop down list available with keyword tags and click on Import Keyword tags from file.
Choose the file you saved earlier and import it.
The tags should be imported now. But please note, assosciation with media will not be there.
If you want assosciation as well, you need to convert the catalog in PSE12.
Thanks,
Anwesha

Using Tags in PSE 11 after converting from PSE 7?

I just loaded PSE 11 (upgrading from PSE 7) but when I click on my tags, no pictures appear. But when I click on albums, the albums/pictures appear. Anyone else have this problem, and a solution? Thanks.

Thanks, that helped. I was just clicking on the tag like in PSE 7 and didn't realize you needed to click to the right of the tag on the ">". Appreciate your help, thanks.

Moving tags in PSE 12

I recently upgraded from PSE 11 to PSE 12. In PSE 11, all of my tags were in its Keyword category. However, the upgrade has placed my (hundreds of) tags relating to places and events into the new Places and new Events categories, where I can't find a way to edit them, to move them or to add new tags. (My people tags ended up in Keywords and are thus ok). Adobe tech support offers no solution other than to retag (20,000+) files but I can’t believe that even Adobe would screw me up so badly. How can I move all of my sub-categories and keywords in PSE 12 into the Keyword category?

Add me to the list. I have almost 70K in cataloged files. I've been using Elements since before it was Elements (I forget what it was in the 90's, but at some point they changed the naming convention....) I've skipped about every other release and just recently was very nicely gifted a copy of 12 for my birthday, and thought I might as well update from 10.
What a mistake....
My tag structure was very well defined, honed over the years to work "the way I wanted it to" - whether that made logical sense to anyone else or not. In reality, it DOES make logical sense, I have some of the same high level categories as Adobe thinks I should have - People, Places, and Events mainly - but I have other high level categories (like "Work", and "Website Images", for instance...)
I LIKE that structure. I don't want to have to CHANGE that structure simply because Adobe thinks I should. If Adobe's structure is somehow better than mine, for me, I'm not seeing it.
My wife also uses our catalog, but is not nearly so intimately familiar with why things are the way they are. All she knows is if she wants a picture of our three daughters together she can click their name tags under People, click five stars to get the best ones, and see a list.
The entire process now is confusing - having a tag list on the right but not being able to use that tag list to select (include or exclude) photos with those tags, is stupid. Having to click the arrow to the right of the tag name to open up ANOTHER selection method in the top pane, then somehow navigate a confusing structure there, is also stupid.
Even if I wanted to live with that and just "learn it", I then have the same problem others have repeated above - I have tags that were imported and placed properly under the "People/Places/Events" structure, but I also have (for instance) a tag called "Detroit" - which is obviously a place but yet is now under "Imported Keyword Tags" - with no apparent way to move it.
If I could at LEAST move a tag from "imported" into the new structure (to put "Detroit" under Places) that would make it somewhat understandable (although I'd still grumble about being forced to do so by Adobe....) but I CAN'T DO THAT.
So, now I need to tell my wife (who is from Detroit), "if you want to see pictures that involve trips we've made to a particular place, you can TRY expanding the Places category and see if the place you want is there, but if it's not then go over to the Keywords category, expand all the sub categories there, and just poke around and see if you can find it..."
Guaranteed disaster and confusion.
Adobe. Please. If you're going to do this, at least implement some method of letting us simply drag a keyword from the Keywords category over to one of your OWN categories, or allow us to remove your own categories from every visible menu or listing and simply use our own.
I do NOT want to have to recreate all my previous tags in your own categories, then go through the laborious process of selecting each one in my own keyword list individually and re-tagging them with YOUR version of the same tag, then having to "remove" my own keyword and save yours.
For 70K images? NO.
Seems pretty simple.

People Tags In PSE 11

In PSE11 under people where I have all my people with picture thumbnails .............How can I change that thumbnail which PSE 11 automatically assigns to that person? Nothing I have tried seems to work. Your help is most appreciated.
Further to this..... some of the thumbnails are blank with just a name. How do I add a picture. when I click on it I only get Remove person or rename? Help please!

You can associate a people tag with say "Mary" with a photo using right click on the photo >> Add a person. Now you can move Mary's photo stack in People view to "Jones Family" group.
People Groups will give you a hierarchical organization of your people. You can see the same if you go to people view, and move the switcher (a toggle switch between People & Group) present on the top left corner of the media grid towards "group".
As for the second query, you can delete the Photo Stack corresponding to "Jane and Bill" in People View by selecting the same and hitting Delete key. This tag will be removed from all the files which have it. Also, a query like "Find all photos where Jane AND Bill are present" can be created easily using Advanced Search present under Find >> Using Advanced Search.
Hope this answers most of your questions.
Thanks

How to move tags from PSE 5 windows to PSE/bridge 6 for Mac

I have all my photos in PSE 5.0 windows. I bought a mac and PSE 6.0. how do I import the photos with the tags as keywords into the new version of the software on the mac?

You can't convert from the Organizer to Bridge.
Bridge is only a browser, you don't
"import" files into it, you just browse your files wherever they are in the Finder. Anything you move in the Finder, Bridge will see it immediately, and vice-versa. Bridge doesn't create libraries or albums.
Two very different, incompatible paradigms.

Lost keyword tags in PSE 6.0

I have two catalogs in PSE 6.0, one called 2007 and the other called 2008. The files are kept in folders of the same names on my computer. In the 2007 folder, as well as the picture files, there are files called Keyword Tags 2007.mxc2 and mxfilerelatedcache.mxc2 and the keyword tags show in the catalog. The 2008 folder has the corresponding files but no keyword tag information at all appears in the catalog. I have looked at the two .mxc2 files and they appear to be of similar layout. I would appreciate help on how the Keyword Tags 2008 can be reconnected.

Di, if you look at a keyword tags file with the .xml extension it looks like a lot of code (which, of course, it is) but within that code you can see reference to the individual tags. That is how I know that the tag information is still on my machine. Both files look about the same but only the first catalog shows the tags when opened.
The tags appeared against the idividual pictures when I entered them in. It was several weeks later that I discovered that they were missing. Perhaps this is something to do with the 'save' part of the operation.
I really don't want to enter the tags again - there are hundreds of pictures. It would appear that I will have to do this if I can't find the solution to this problem in the near future.

Place tags in PSE 12

I am getting more and more frustrated by recent changes after having to update to PSE 12 from PSE 8 after a friend updated my computer system.
I am seventy seven and not compouter literate but I do try very hard to understand how things work
I have discovered after help from others how to add a tag to a place name but I have to do that via a world map which I do not like as it apprears in the Place tags as UK then a drop down with the new place tag.
Here is an attemot at a screen shot of the problem and how I would like tags to appear in futrure. ie as Strumpshwa, Titchwell etc NOT as UK>England>West Tisted. Do hope I have explained myself clearly so that someone can help.
IN PSE 8 it was so simple
Nobody more surpruied than me to see this screen shot appear
Over to you please for simple instructiosn.
Thank you,
Brian.

Hi Neileh,
Thank you so much for all your suggestions but I think I have finally reached terminal despair .
I did try and send an email to PSE but they seem to me to have a contemptible approach to users and I could not find how to send an email to PSE but kept being returned to forums.
Fir the time being I have had enough and I am growing more depressed by the lack of customer support and could not recommend the programme to others.
It may of course just be my ignorance of computers but I cannot be alone and so I am left with my present experience that PSE staff are unhelpful.
Huge thanks to you for taking so much trouble and I feel I have let you down for which I apologies.
The adding of PLACES in the Keyword drop down list is a palliative to my mind and not a cure for the problem as reasonable users would expect.
Please if you crack it please email me.
Warmest regards,
Brian

Importing existing GPS tags to PSE 12 places

Good evening,
after making my first steps in the world of RAW-photography with lightroom, I wanted to add the ability to edit digital photos. After comparing my options, I decided to choose Elements 12.
As I already had some keyword-tags in Lightroom, I imported them to Elements - so far, so good. But what I did not find so far was the possibility to "import" my GPS-tagged metadata into the places-tags. Seemingly I have to retag them again, which is annoying, but would be a reasonable way for existing photos.
When going on a photo trip, I currently use a GPX-tracklog to easily add the necessary GPS-information via lightroom. Is there any way to do so in Elements 12?
I wonder what is your workflow when adding GPS data to your photos?
Thank you for sharing your ideas,
all the best,
Gilhin

HI Jon,
thank you for getting back to me. This process refers to using PSE as an external editor. Unfortunately this is not what I am looking for.
What I like on the PSE Organizer is that it adds places in a hierarchic manner (Like Germany => Bavaria => Munich => Marienplatz) and that I can change the name of the last level. That is what I am missing in Lightroom. All my pictures are geotagged, so I do not want to retag them again.
Therefore I am either looking for a possibility that PSE recognizes the GPS data or that anyone recommends a Lightroom plugin that will do the same in Lightroom.
Thank you for your ideas,
kind regards,
Connor

Any hope? Moving tags from PSE 4 to new catalog.

So I've been using PSE 4 for several years, and have thousands of pictures in my catalog (most RAW images). They are ALL tagged. I've been tagging these files all this time without knowing that PSE 4 can't really write tags to RAW files.
Recently, I decided to upgrade to PSE 7, and also move everything onto a new computer. Much to my dismay, I've found out that I can't just copy all my images to the new computer, and keep all the tags.
Is there anything at all that I can do to keep my tags? Those tags were the result of hours and hours of work (multiple tags per image), and I'm totally depressed at the thought of having to go through them all again.
Any help / tips on how I can accompish this would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick answer. It certainly did give me some hope, but I seem to be having some issues with the process.
I THINK I followed them fairly well, but this is what's happening:
I "backup" my catalog onto a network drive (accessible by both old and new computer). This takes a while.
Then, on the new computer, I "restore" the catalog, and specify a new location (local to the new computer), asking to retain the same directory structure (maybe this is bad?). It, again, took a while as it copied everything over. I verified that all the images were copied to the new computer where I wanted them. The part that didn't work was that my catalog was filled with all "empty" images marked as "offline". Clicking on them, it showed their path still pointed to the original location on my old computer. I tried to "reconnect all" images, but that didn't work (it just told me there were no images requiring to reconnect).
Probably something simple that I'm missing, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Again, I appreciate any help with getting this working for me.
Thanks!
