Key words imported, but none of my photos by 11,000 previously marked have tags! Help!

I just moved all the pictures previously marked in PSE11 to a new computer. I saved the keyword tags to a file and imported into PSE11 on the new computer. All my tags are there but no media displayed. When I click on a tag ex-vacances 2014. Where now are the tags on the photos? Do I have to retag all 11 000 more pictures? I had to save catalog on PES under file before moving to save the tags on the photos?

Everything is still just need to know how to move my photos with old computer to the new labels using PES 11 on the old computer. I'll not upgrade PES 11.

I'm not sure after what you did exactly. Here's what I think from your description.

You do not use the backup / restore process which is needed if you want to move your files and catalogs to a new computer.

https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

You moved "all photos previously marked... to a new computer.

I understand that as a copy of your folder tree of images to the other computer (via Explorer or Finder).

"Previously with the tag' can mean two things:

-previously marked in the catalogue

-even more 'writing metadata to files.

If you do not write metadata in the files on the file menu, the tags are not written in the photo files. They cannot be recovered by a simple "import."

I saved the keyword tags to a file and imported into PSE11 on the new computer. All my tags are there but no media displayed.

Exactly how is that did you save the keyword tags? Looks like you used the option copy the description of your hierarchy of categories and keywords in a text file.

You can restore this description of the hierarchy in a different catalog, no problem, but that restores not no matter what tag attached to a file in the catalog. Imagine that you have a physical storage of the items in a chest of drawers, each drawer has its own label. You can copy the dresser, which does not fill the drawers with the original content.

The copying and restoration of the hierarchy is useful when you want to 'import' of files in an empty catalog with the description of the hierarchy already copied.

Your goal is not to 'import', it is to 'restore' tree of catalogue and photo on another computer (or disk).

Even if you 'writes the metadata to the files', restored the hierarchy of tags and imported your files again, you don't get it all. That will be good for the tags, categories, captions, notes, ratings... but not for the albums, piles and fixed version, which is only stored in the catalog.

Now, that is all simply copy the catalog folder? You can find its location in the menu help > System Info.

The answer is that you can move or copy this folder where you want to, its contents will not be changed.

The problem is that the content of the catalogue is links pointing to another player. All your files will be displayed as "offline"... You will use the reconnect function that is not as easy as you might think. http://psekb.blogspot.in/2013/03/How-do-i-reconnect-missing-files-in.html

So, if the foregoing is only the result of my imagination, please correct me.

  • Can my photo stream - I import but not export the photos?

    I want to import photos from my Macbook to my Mac desktop, but I don't want every photo that I load on my Office Mac sent to my Macbook.  If I turn my photo stream at the same time a copy of each photo on both devices.  I just want to really use the Macbook to feed a few photos to the Mac with only the Mac with a complete copy of my library, not a complete copy of my library on both devices.

    Then you could better use Airdrop, e-mail or a USB key, otherwise you would have to remove all the photos that you don't want after that that they had themselves imported.

  • Photos have been imported, but in a different location, but I cannot change them

    I don't know lightroom, but my wife does, and I thought I was helping by importing, but I put them in the wrong place.  Now, when she's trying to move / import I will not work.  Please help as it publishes a wedding and wants to finish his editing of the pictures.

    Hi alexflys,

    If you imported images in the wrong place, you can move the images in Lightroom. Reference: file move around in Lightroom | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC tutorials

    However, if everything is so messed up then you can simply create a new catalog and import the images correctly, and start editing.

    Hope that helps.

    Possibly, you have made changes to your 'by default develop settings'. The default WB in Lightroom should be "under the shot" to view this selection has recently imported a file raw in the develop Module, click history in the left panel, click on the first import. (see screen capture) and then see what settings have been applied to import for the white balance it must be 'in the know '.

  • Computer crashed, reinstalled as the new system, Windows LR 4 upwards, but none of my collections are here.

    How can I find the missing collections?  How will I know where LR stores its backup?

    How to load LR to find photos and records which he addressed missing?  We are talking about thousands of images, typical for any user of LR.

    Always on LR 4.  Reluctant to up to the cloud.

    I have two drives on my system - C drive, semiconductor, contains only the software.  Drive E, regular, holds only data, including all my photos.  I don't have pictures in my pictures, but in their own special folder.  The two are backed up on an external drive every day

    Concerned as I can I have lost backup LR on the old C drive which wiped.

    Help, please.  None of the existing user subjects solve this problem, unless you can find something else.

    I did it!  I did everything by myself, with a little help of Julianne Kost!  Thank you, Julianne.  You're really a wonder woman.  No thank you 57 people who read this post on the forum.  But if one person reads this and it saves some time, then this time will have been worthwhile.

    My main computer crashed and Windows must be reinstalled as new factory condition which means that allll software should be reinstalled.  Good news, it of that I had saved important files off my old C drive and had a doc with all my product inside keys.  I have re-installed LR, but first, he could not see one of the photos.  Yesterday I got this task performed using an order catalog import, but I must have chosen the wrong catalog.  Today, I watched the tutorial of Julianne on Lightroom backups and found that indeed there is a path where LR tells you where is stored the magic catalogue and I got it in my old folder.  I looked under C/Windows.old/Users/Carol/MyPictures/Lightroom and there is - a file called Lightroom Catalog.lrcat.  Went to import another catalogue and chose this one and waited very long.  Finally, all my collections arose, all the flags, the rankings, the kinds, presets, etc are here.  It's magic.

  • Import Transforms black-and-white photos.

    When I import my computer, Lightroom auto changes my photos to b & w, even with the import presets set to "none".  Why this might be happening?

    Either you apply a develop preset on import, in order to check the section "apply when importing" from the import dialog box.

    In otherwise, then take one of the images B & W develop, hold down the SHIFT key and down right Reset button change on "Reset (Adobe). Click on it and the image back to the color which means that you have changed the default develop settings inadvertently. To restore these settings, go to the menu develop > set default settings > click on "restore Adobe Default Settings." Who's going to fix things for future imports, but for those that already exist, you will need to reset them manually, if you synchronize that change to all the.

  • LR5 key words are missing

    When I try to upgrade to LR5 I see that keywords are missing. Eevn when I import it again, keywords...

    With about 275,000 images keyworded in LR3 - 4...

    Martin

    If the file has the help of keywords (and it will not default keywords, you must tell LR to put key words), then you can force Lightroom to read via metadata-> reading metadata from files. But if the keywords are not there, then re - import photos in LR5 and read sidecar files don't get you where you want to go.

    Still, it would be easier (and transfer more data, the data that are never written in the sidecar files) upgrade the catalog because I said.

  • Help using Léonie / old Toad move the text of "Key words" in "securities".

    Need help to use leonie / old Toad move the text of "Key words" in "securities".

    I have about 30 000 images with keywords but NO Title.  I want to move / copy the text in the keywords section in the section of the title.

    So, I tried this Script: Add keywords to title - Script of Léonie field

    He did a little work, but not completely.

    When I select an image in Photos, and then "Get Info" I'll see below in the title area, notice that the first two lines are the same.

    I do not understand why the Photos shows the name of the file twice.   These fields are not labelled, but I was under the impression that the top line was the Description, the second line is the name of the file, and the third line is the Date.   Because only the first line is displayed under thumbnails, I try to have as much descriptive information appear in this area (as in the past, we could do with iPhoto or Aperture).

    In other words, when I run the script I hold my keywords to replace everything in the top line completely, eliminating the name of the file. Is there something wrong with this approach?  I would still have the name of the file to the second line, right?

    Thank you.

    Remove the file name of the title field, and then run the script. You will have the chance

    -17 to 600 hours experimental engine

    You can manually delete the "-" at the beginning or modify the script.
