Transfer Tags from Photoshop Elements 5.0 to Lightroom 1.0

Unfortunality, the File>Import from Elements does not work correct (Missing the structure of folders if more than one level and missing some Tags). So, if I do in PSE File>Save Tags- and Attributesinfo with Photo (or similar, Tags- und Eigenschafteninfos mit Foto speichern as I have a german version) and then Import them in Lightroom it works.
But PSE does rewrite the complete file. As I have JPGs:
- Is there any change, loss or recalculating on the Picturedata?
- Is there a easier and faster way?

As far as reducing quality of picture data by writing tags, no.
From what I've read, it bascially writes that metadata into the file, and moves the pixel data up or down in the file without actually changing it, or recompressing it... it's not like when you save your edits to a file. (I was leary about doing it for a long time too.)
BTW: I think this is what it does also if you choose to write your lightroom edits to .xmp sidecars... for jpegs it writes that data into the acutal file, but only LR or newer versions of photoshop will read it.
I don't know of a faster way... but Elements 5 will keep your tag structure too, when you import? How about the top-level tags like Family, Places, etc? I used import from Elements 3.0, and I thought my tagging structure, and these top-level tags were lost too... maybe I need to try it again.

  • Will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5

    will photoshop elements 12 import tags from photoshop elements 5?

    See:

    I suppose you are using the organizer : you'll be able to recover your PSE5 catalogs either by a catalog conversion on the same computer or by the backup / restore process.

  • Transfer problem from Photoshop Elements 9 to Premiere Elements 9

    When I transfer a slideshow from Photoshop Elements 9 to Premiere Elements 9, some slides change orientation and appear compressed. How can I avoid this problem?
    Also when transfering  from Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements opens a window to record the name of the project; what is the proper setting for the project? DSLR, interface DV...?
    Recording a Blueray with Premiere elements from sequences of slideshows saved as WMV (highest resolution 1024x768) , pictures do not fill the screen. I realize that the photo size (4:3) is different from the TV screen (16:9), and that cropping would be necessary to fill the screen, but is there a format WMV for wide screen or can Premiere Elements do the cropping?  A wide screen ratio would be nice to have in Photoshop Elements cropping toll.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    One problem with orientation is that many viewing/cataloging programs will allow one to change the orientation, but that is only for viewing - no pixels are actually changed. A flag is placed in the metadata, telling many viewers to rotate the image, when viewed. Adobe Bridge, the big-brother to Organizer, and installed with many Adobe suites and programs, does this. It is not until one does a Save for the image, that the rotation is actually applied to the pixels. Until then, it's just an instruction to a viewer on how to display the image.
    I second Steve's comments on the Scaling of stills, outside of PrE, prior to Import. This ARTICLE will give you some background and some tips for automating the process.

  • How do I transfer photos and related tags  from Photoshop Elements 5 to a new iMac Apple desktop computer

    Is it possible to move all my photos , Tags and folders in Photoshop Elements 5  from my Vista machine to my new Apple iMac desktop?

    You will need to upgrade PSE in windows to at least PSE 9, then do a full backup using the organizer's backup command to a removable drive, then restore to the mac. The mac organizer can only understand windows catalogs from PSE 9 or later.
    You can download a trial version here to get the catalog updated:

  • Transfer data from Photoshop Elements 4

    Hi,
    I am looking to transfer my catalog and collections intact from Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 on Windows XP to a newer version on Mac (yet to be purchased). Can anyone confirm if the catalogs and collections will export from version 4 and import successfully? I don't want to be left with the task of sorting 1000+ images into different collections again. I've found limited and conflicting info. online.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the delay in responding again.
    From the info. given it looks like I will have to carry out the following steps:
    1. Backup the catalog on the in the existing copy of Elements 4 on the PC.
    2. Upgrade Elements on the PC to version 12.
    3. Restore the backed up catalog to the new version of elements on the PC
    4. Backup the catalog from version 12 on the PC.
    5. Purchase and install elements 12 again and install it on the Mac.
    6. Restore the backup to the Mac.
    Can you confirm this is what I need to do?
    I don't have a Mac, but I have done the transfer between PCs many times.
    What is described in the above link is :
    - start with step Nr 2 - Upgrade PSE on the PC to version 12
    - In the upgrade process, you will be asked automatically to have your old catalog converted to the PSE12 format. No need for backup/restore at that stage, you can use your converted catalog on the PC.
    - Do the backup on the external drive : good thing for your PC and necessary for the transfer to your Mac. (I assume your external drive is compatible with both PC and Mac).
    - skip to your step Nr 5 - Install PSE12 on the Mac
    - finally restore from the external drive.
    Can you also advise as to whether the photo version sets and stacks will be imported/restored correctly into version 12 from version 4, and also if these will transfer correctly from version 12 on the PC to the same version on the Mac?
    Yes, they are stored in the database of the catalog.

  • 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

  • Upgrading from Photoshop Elements 6.0 to Lightroom?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to import a Photoshop Elements 6.0 catalog to Lightroom 1.3? I don't see it as an option in the Import dialog. I upgraded from PSE 4.0 to 6.0 a little while back, but I've decided it's too buggy and I'd like to give Lightroom a try, but I don't want to have to re-tag everything.
    Thanks,
    -Al

    I made some progress on moving from PSE 6 on a PC to LR 1.3 on a Mac a couple weeks ago.
    First make sure you have no tags with the same name anywhere in the hierarchy. If you do, rename them by adding "in <parent-category>" or some such. Then I exported the PSE 6 tags as an XML file. I used emacs and did regular expression replacement to remove the XML element names and unrelated tags. I was able to keep the hierarchy as a tab-indented list.
    Use PSE 6 to burn all the uniquely named tags into your image files. Now is also a good time to rename or reorganize your image folders on disk if you want.
    So, import the tab-indented list into LR. Then import the images into LR. Then if you had to uniqify any of your tags, you can now go through the LR tags and get rid of the "in <parent-category>" suffixes you may have added.
    Now the metadata in the files on disk is a little different from that in the LR catalog. I guess it would make sense to use LR to burn the tags into the files again, but I haven't done that part yet.
    One more gotcha is to make sure you don't have a tag with a comma in it, othewise LR will make two new tags at the top level for the two halves of your comma separated tag name. Vertical bar might be a problem too.
    This process worked pretty well for me. Somehow a bunch of files that I had imported from another person's collection had the wrong capture time, so about 160 images appeared in the same day's folder. But out of the 12K or so photos that's the only problem I've found so far.

  • How do I transfer tags from Photoshop Album to PSE 7?

    I hope someone can help me here.  I have downloaded PSE7 and intend to buy it as I understand that this is the upgrade path for Photoshop Album.  I bought a new computer running Vista but Album does not work with it.
    I have tried to convert the .PSA catalog file from Album, but PSE tells me that it can't complete the job and wants me to repair the file with the original product.  I have no idea how to do this or indeed what it means.  The file works fine on my XP computer with the same pictures.  Does anyone know what I can do to make this work?  If it doesn't work I will have to retag over 5000 pictures.  I really don't want to do that, and will probably not go on to purchase the product.
    Thanks in advance.  Mike

    Thanks for your very prompt response.  Unfortuanately I have tried this and still the same answer.  I have even tried saving the catalog as another filename, but it still tells me to repair the file in the original application.
    Any further help would be gratefully received.

  • Move tags from photoshop elements 10 to photoshop elements 13

    I have thousand of pictures all tagged with people, places, events in PE 10.  Just got PE 13.  When I bring in pictures the tags go under Keywords under Importated Keyword Tags and can't be moved to People Tags; Places Tags; Event tags.
    Is there a way to get them to come in as imported Tags?

    If you 'bring in' pictures by re-importing them in a new empty catalog, the organizer will find the tags recorded in the picture files themselves. It will not find the keyword/categories which are recorded in the catalog... unless you have saved that hierarchy before, which I'll explain later.
    - If you install PSE13 on the same computer, you don't reimport your picture files. You simply agree to the conversion proposal in the installation process. A new catalog is created including everything in the keyword/categories hierarchy and your albums, stacks, version sets etc. If you don't agree at installation time, you can always use the catalog manager later to convert any older catalog.
    - if you install on another computer, use the backup/restore method. Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
    - If for some reason you choose to re-import your files after using the 'write metadata to files' function, save your categories hierarchy in a text file : small drop-down menu in the title bar of the keywords panel. Create the new empty catalog in the new PSE version, and use the same drop-down menu to restore the hierarchy. Then you can import your picture files and the tags will go in the right hierarchy. Note that you won't recover albums etc like in the two previous solutions.

  • How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
    Let me rephrase my problem:
    I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
    However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying  and pasting each photo caption.
    Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
    Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12

    Ask in the PSE/ PS forums. The simple answer is, though, that unless they are emebedded in the image or exist as sidecar XMP files PS won't use them. It doesn't look inside the PSE catalog files/ database.

    ... which means you have to use the menu /file/write metadata to files so that the tags and ratings are written in the files or sidecar files themselves.

  • Export from Photoshop Elements 6 to Premiere Elements 8

    I prepared a slide show with The Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 and produced a DVD which has good but not excellent image quality (I chose File Setting - High 800x600). To improve the DVD image quality I installed the trial version of Premiere Elements 8. I exported the slide show to Premiere Elements 8 and have several problems.1 The image quality of the DVD produced by Premiere Elements 8 is worse than the one produced from The Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).
    2 The titles, transitions and soundtrack does not show in Premiere Elements 8.
    3 The slides sequence in Premiere Elements 8 is different then the one in the slide show in The Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).
    At one time a menu popped up asking me if I wanted to convert the Catalogue of V6. I declined because I was afraid that the V6 catalogue may be replaced and I would not be able to go back to it.
    Please help.

    Conclusion.
    My results are consistent with your problems NOT being associated with Photoshop Elements 6 slideshow being used instead a Photoshop Element 8 slideshow in the slideshow transfer to Premiere Elements 8.
    Testing. Photoshop Elements 6/Premiere Elements 8.
    First I created a slideshow in the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor. It included:
    (a) 19 jpeg photos each with pixel dimensions of 3264 x 2448 (that is not recommended pixel dimensions but was used to stress out the project if possible...these represent grossly oversized photos since the goal is DVD VIDEO with standard frame size of 720 x 480.)
    (b) I used a Wipe transition between each
    (c) I used text within the photos (included in the text was a sequential number so that I could more easily visually follow the sequence of the slideshow after it was transferred to Premiere Elements 8)
    (d) I added two audio clips as soundtrack (the first I placed from beginning to just before the last two photos to pick up on any audio out of sync as well as loss of a whole audio clip)
    (e) I used a pan and zoom effect for photos 1 and 2.
    The quality of the preview in the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor was good.
    I outputted the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor slideshow, using the Slide Show Edit Output option "Send to Premiere Elements". When I did, Premiere Elements 8 opened, I set the project preset, and it accepted the slideshow. In the Project Media area were
    (a) a folder containing all the individual components of the slideshow
    (b) the slideshow file in a video (grouped) form
    The video (grouped) form had automatically been placed on the Timeline as well.
    Everything transferred correctly. No problems. SEE IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW.
    I even burned the Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO standard from Premiere Elements 8, and the DVD-VIDEO standard played back well on my 19 in LCD Widescreen TV.
    Testing. Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8.
    I repeated the above with Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8 and the same slideshow and obtained the same results.
    IMPORTANT. Whether it was Photoshop Elements 6/Premiere Elements 8 or Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8, I had to render the Timeline in the Edit Mode in order to get the best possible preview so that I could determine/confirm what was on the Premiere Elements Timeline. And, rendering the Timeline as described with all those oversized photos took several hours.
    This is what I need to know:
    1. How many photos did you use in the slideshow in the Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 slideshow, and what were their pixel dimensions? If you do not know, you can check it out in Photoshop Elements Full Editor/Image Menu/Resize/Image Size dialog or just place your mouse course over the file on the hard drive and note the "dimensions".
    2. If you transfer your slideshow from Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 to Premiere Elements 8, use the Output option "Send to Premiere Elements", and get your slideshow on the Premiere Elements 8 Timeline, do you render that Timeline by pressing the Enter Key of the computer main keyboard so that the red line over the Timeline turns green when the process is complete?
    3. Is your computer optimized, defragmented, cleaned up, scratch files directed to an external hard drive (NTFS formatted), etc. If you are using an external hard drive for the scratch files, is there enough space there for them?
    4. What is your computer operating system and what are its resources, such as, available RAM and free hard drive space. Have you checked your computer's virtual memory set up?
    Stay the course on this to rule in or out the above non wmv approach to getting your slideshow as a DVD-VIDEO. But if you do decide to detour over to Save As File Movie .wmv and you are dealing with oversized photos and an offending component in the slideshow, the the writing of the .wmv becomes a possible focus point for errors. And, if the .wmv is destined for DVD-VIDEO, then use the file size (also known as profile) = NTSC DVD (720 x 480).
    I suspect that the problem core goes to
    (a) use of oversized photos
    (b) offending component in slideshow
    (c) size of slideshow
    (d) computer resources
    (e) combination of all or any one of above
    I will continue to watch for your progress.
