Photoshop Elements :: How To Restore Lost Tags After Optimizing 10
Sep 18, 2012
Today, after moving some folders that were incorrectly located (based on year/month/date) back to their proper location, I optimized the catelog. I then discovered that all my keyword tags were missing, but the image caption and description ("Notes") were not lost. This amounts to approximately 10 years worth of images.
Why did did I lose all the keyword tags? How can I recover them? I have not closed or restarted the Elements Organizer, nor have I tried to Repair the catalogs for fear of overwriting something that cannot be corrected. When should the repair catelog be used?
I am using a Dell desktop computer with Windows XP. We have an external HD for backup that is supposed to be constantly syncing for backup.

I have a new computer and want to move the databse catalog over. I backed up in PSE 9 to an external hard drive. I connected to HD to the new computer and tried a resotre catalog. I chose "New Location" since I was going from XP to Windows 7 and was unsure if there would be a conflict with file locations. I also chose "Restore Original Floder Strucure". Very quickly I recieve an error message "Could not restor file .xml". I have run Restore Catalog several times and each time a DIFFERENT FILE receives the error message. I then disabled Norton Anti Virus Auto-Protect. I then disabled several programs running in the background. Same problem. I then copied the Backup Catalog to the new computer and tried to Restore it from there. Same Problem. I have now run a Repair Catalog on the original file. PSE states there is no error. I want to purchas PSE 11, but wanted to install/restore the database with the same version 9 first.

I'm using Organizer 11. First time evething was ok, persons/faces were detected correctly, then after a few month Organizer doesn't detected new faces and said every time that all faces were detected already also when I imported new fotos from my camera...
(I use the german version, so I can not tell you the exact error message in english, hope you unserstand what I mean.)
As I found no solution, I created a new catalog and imported all photos including their tags newly to this empty catalog. But allready tagged persons are not persons anymore - their tags are now in the "imported keyword tags" (German: "Importierte Stichwort-Tags") and not in the "person/face tags".
How can I tell the organizer that the imported Tags are persons/faces to having no douplicates in the person-tags and normal keyword-tags?
Here some Background Information about my system:
PSE 11, Windows 8, 64 Bit 8GB, Intel i7.
3 catalogs with each 8000-10000 photos.

I have just upgraded my Swedish PSE7 to an English PSE11. Of course the people keyword tags did not get converted into people tags because People is called Folk in Swedish. I was not aware of this mechanism prior to upgrading. How can I convert those keyword tags now?

I just converted from PSE 10 to PSE 11.
Now, in the Media view, over in the Tags/Info pane, I have Events, Other, and Places Tags, but no People Tags. However, when I look at individual photos in my converted catalogs, the people's names are still attached to them; the people icon is still associated with each photo so marked.
In PSE 10, when you imported new photos, you could drag People Tags from the Tags pane to one or more selected photos to quickly tag the subjects. Now, apparently, I'll have to group any new photos with people in them by hand and retype names over and over again — although those tags are already available in the catalog.
This is clearly insane. Surely Adobe hasn't taken something easy (dragging a people tag over from the right pane to a newly added photo) and turned it into something cumbersome and inefficient?
How do I get the Media view to populate the People Tags in the Tags pane along with the Existing Events, Other, and Places 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?

I've used PSE 6 before, but it doesn't work anymore in Win8, so I'm thinking of updating to PSE12.
To be honest, I don't know where is my old catalog located, but I think it is in the same folder as photos. At least I see "my catalog.psa" files in there. But when I' try to restore them to trial version of PSE12, it only accepts *.tly files. My files are .psa.
How I can restore my catalogs? Because if I can't, there's no point to buy Adobe product at all, because I have to create everything (thousands of photos) from scratch. So I can do that with Adobe product or with any other software, even with free ones.

My computer had to be reformatted with the operating system re-loaded (Vista). I reloaded PE 10 and then moved my saved photos back into the software. the problem is that all of my tags (various family and friends) seem to have disappeared completely from the Organizer as has an album I painstakingly set up. I have all the photos, but a subset of them are not organized into the album I created.
Is there any way to get back my tags (the categories aren't even showing in Organizer and the photos aren't tagged) and to get back my album?

I recently upgraded my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 installing a new hard disk in the process.
Before starting I used PSE 6 to backup the catalogue.
I installed Windows 7 on the new disk and copied all my data files (including pictures) from the old HDD.
I then restored the catalog on the new drive after installing PSE 11.
All seemed fine, so I carried on working on my pictures.
Now some weeks later I notices that the restore created duplicates of ALL my pictures, so for example, as well as _MG_0876.CR2, there is also a copy of it called _MG_0876-1.CR2 which is the one that is actually in the catalogue.
This seems really silly at best. If I restore the catalog, the restore should ASK what to do about duplicates, not just create thousands of duplicate files willy-nilly.
The ONLY easy solution to this mess I could find was to delete the entire fiolder structure and restore the backup again, which has resulted in my loosing at least two weeks worth of work in the form of image editing. Going through and manually deleting files in Windows Explorer just wasn't an option.
The manual doesn't mention that this will happen at all.
1. What is the recommended procedure?
2. Why isn't this described in the manual?
3. Why doesn't the restore ASK what to do with duplicates?

I am trying to restore a catalog in pse organizer. I get an error message saying that I should contact the disc drive manufacturer for the latest firmware before trying again. There is nothing wrong with the disc drive - it works perfectly with every other application. I open the disc drive in the control panel and can see the files I need are there. I have tried copying the files to my hard drive, removed the cd, and tried to restore via the hard drive option and still get the same error message.

I am trying to restore my catalog into a brand new iMac with Mountain Lion and max memory.
I have created the backup several times, reconnecting all pictures and writing the tag info to the pictures.
After the restore. All the pictures are present and the category info on them seems correct ( properties and icons on the thumbnails ).
The catalog shows all the categories and sub-categories but selecting a category just gets the message that np pictures match the category.
If I try reconnect it says it's not required.
I've tried 4 times and I'm assuming it should work.

In the upper left corner you will see the word "brush". Along that same panel are three different options that you can choose from to work with. I can't recall the first option, but the other two are "texture" with a word behind it and "content" with a word behind that. Somehow I inadvertently "knocked" these options off and don't know how to restore them.

I just got Elements 11 (Windows 8) this week end, and I have a few questions about the Catalogue in the Organizer.
I spent a few hours tagging people, organizing categories, and so on. After that, I did a backup of the catalogue, which from my understanding includes every pictures.
However, does a backup of the "Pictures" folder manually every month. My question is, are the people and tags I added in the Organizer embedded in the pictures, or do I really need to backup and restore the catalog to keep everything I have tagged? If I reinstall Elements 11 and add the pictures manually as I would the first time, will all the info still be there?
