Photoshop :: Moving Keywords & Tags To A New Computer
Mar 9, 2008
I have 2 issues:
1) I have purchased a new computer and wish to move/copy/export all my photo's along with their Keywords & Tags to the new computer.
2) In doing the above will the pictures re-locate to the new computer in one directory or keep the same directory and sub-directories in tack? I have been saving my Pic's in a directory called: Pictures > Then by Year > Then by Month.
Moving the pictures from the old computer to new one is not the problem. It is maintaining the Directory Tree along with moving the Keywords and Tags.
Currently over 3,500 photos that I would rather not have to re-tag.

I have Photoshop 8.0 on Windows XP. I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Professional.   All the pictures are on an external hard drive. My problem is getting the tags to move. I have followed instructions on the internet but either the intstructions dont work or what I see on the screen doesnt match up with the instructions. Some of the tags show up on Imported Keywords, but not all the tags and some of the pictures that had tags no longer have tags. I have since added a few picts and a few albums. How do I get the rest of the tags to move the new new computer and still not lose any of the pictures or tags already on the new computer?

I have just transferred all my photos from an PC (microsoft) to an iMac. At the same time I upgraded from elements 5 to version 11. Before doing the transfer I saved all the tags to the metadata. On the iMac both the tags and the keywords in the metadata are all in place but when I do a search on a particular tag, only a small number of the relevant photos (the most recent) are found.Â

I have used Elements 11 for cataloguing a lot of photos but I want to use Photoshop CS4 for other purposes. The tags and keywords I created in Elements disappear in PS. How can I migrate them? Does CS4 have a similar cataloguing ability?

Why don't pictures always appear in my organizer when I choose a keyword or tag?

I would like new functionality on handling tags for filtering/searching photos (as a replacement of the `advanced search`)
The goal is, to use the same Tag-structure to tag photos and also to filter them (most likely as you could do that with PSE 9 ) .
I don't want this `advanced search` window, that takes a lot of space - I want to see my photos, not a hug program border..

Why are the tags I added to images in PSE not assocated with the images when I import them into LR. Some of them are on the keyword list, but not all. And none of them are associated with an image. I am trying out LR but its difficult if I have to go and retag things again?

Is Lightroom able to make use of Mavericks Tags as Keywords or will Keywords in Lightroom be recognized as Tags in Mavericks when browsing with Finder?

Just starting to use Lightroom (4.4).Testing import to a catalog of images with IPTC metadata. Using PhotoME to display metadata. PhotoME shows list of content in IPTC SubjectCode field, and in Keyword field. These look as intended when I added the metadata to the images in CyPics.
Â
But in Lightroom the Keyword Tags display correctly shows the SubjectCode entries, but does not show any of the IPTC Keyword data.

I would like to move from using Elements to using Lightroom. Whilst I realise that I can import my catalogue and photos, which should also create all my keywords, I am concerned that the existing keywords/tags parent/child structure would be lost? They would be created as a single contiguous list?
Â
How to go about moving the tags across whilst maintaining the original structure AND remaining associated with the correct photos?

I'm sure this has been answered many times, but I didn't know how to search for it.
I want to move several hundred images from one PC to another (over a home network). I have added keywords in Bridge. How can I retain/create the same keyword set on the target PC?

I know it can be done, and I think I've even done it before, but I cannot remember/figure out how to maintain tag info when I transfer files. I have a new computer and would like to transfer some photos, but want to keep the tags attached, so I don't have to retag! Please help! I've written the tag information into the file and tried backup, export, and burn. The photos transfer, but no tag information.

I just transferred 10,000 photos... all tagged beautifully in my previous computer..that are no longer tagged. I installed Elements 6 and imported the photos along with tags according the screen, but once the import is done less than 100 of the photos are actually tagged. I also have a newer version of elements that I want to use on this computer but thought I should try to make the original version work before upgrading. What do I need to do to get the tags back?

I have just updated APE-7 to APE-11 on my old computer which is running Windows 7. The transition went well.  All photos and tags moved seamlessly to the new programs format. How best to transfer all of that to a new computer which is also running Windows-7. You can think of the new computer as a clean slate, other than the fact that I installed APE-11 on it as well.
Â
Question 1:Â Â Should I begin by manually transfer all photos from the "My Pictures" folder on the old computer to the "My Pictures" folder on the new computer prior to using the "Restore Catalog" function or does that automatically happen when I use the "Restore Catalog" function within APE-11 to transfer Keywords and Tags?
Â
Question 2:  Any link to an Adobe document that might give a detailed explanation as to how to use the "Restore Catalog" function, to a new, computer. Or, perhaps a detailed step-by-step description of how to accomplish it in a way that all Keywords and Tags will remain associated with each picture.

 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).  How can I move all of my sub-categories and keywords in PSE 12 into the Keyword category?

I need to move my copy of Photoshop from my old computer to my new computer.
Is it OK to just install it from the original disc on my new computer or will I need to uninstall it from my old computer first, then install it on the new computer?
My concerns are more related to licensing than technical issues. I have Photoshop CS4.

I upgraged to CS6 via the Adobe download for my MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro. I'm changing my MacBook Pro to the the Retina display model, and I can't seem to find out how to uninstall CS6 on my old MacBook Pro, and install it on the new one. I've been to the Adobe site, but I'm lost.

I am trying to reinstall the program on my computer but am having problems registering.I contacted Adobe but they will no longer provide support for this old product. Since we will only be doing occasional work in photoshop, mainly to edit the occasional .eps photo for our catalogue, it does not pay to upgrade. What can I do to enable use of this old program that I bought and paid for?. Are there open source solutions for editing eps files?

I have just edited a number of photos on my computer by adding ratings and keywords. I tried to export them to an external hard drive, so I could free up space on my computer, but I discovered that copies of those photos already existed on the external HD. I selected the "overwrite" option, but the ratings and keywords didn't copy over from the computer versions to the hard drive versions. Is there a way of doing that?

I have a series of recordings I created in Photoshop that appear in my actions palette in photoshop CS2.
I would like to move them to another computer but I am struggling to find the correct files to copy and move. They are not anywhere that I can find in the actions or script folders.
What would be the file extension for a recording? Where do they live ?

I'll need to move computers soon and I rely heavily on status flags, you know, Ctrl1, Ctrl2 etc to sort and prioritize my tens of thousands of images. I understand that if I set up my computers (Vista to Vista move) and install Photoshop CS4 and after that Transfer Files and Settings -
the info in Bridge (at least for the directory stucture for the old computer) will move over to the new computer. Has anyone actually tried this? It would be devastating if the Flags didn't transfer over - it would cost untold work.

I am upgrading from Photoshop Elements 9 to version 12 and loading it onto a new computer running Windows 8.2. To move the Organizer Catalog I have tried several time to create a backup on an external hard drive from version 9 so i can restore it on the new computer with the upgraded software. Each time i run the backup the process stops and displays an error message "Error encountered while writing files". This occurs when the process is approximately 75% complete. There are 12,326 items in the catalog, the estimated "media size" needed it 142,891.30 MB, i have 339 GB of free space on the external hard drive.Â

I am in the process of replacing my worn out computer! I currently run LT2008 on a windows XP platform. My new computer can either be windows 7 or 8 (64bit) and I wanted to know if I can re-install my LT2008 to the new system? I am soon to retire so do not have the need to upgrade my LT2008 as it will be used only occasionally.

I recently purchased a new computer, and I need to transfer my existing Lightroom (3.6) catalog to the new machine. I have installed Lightroom on the new machine, and have updated it to the same version as on the old machine. All my images are on an external drive that I can move to the new computer.Â
Â
Can I simply export the existing catalog, move the hard drive, and import the catalog into the new instance of Lightroom on the new computer? Obviously, I want to retain al the keywords, develop adjustments, etc., that I had in the original catalog.
