      I Moved my photos from old to new computer using  Elements Export/Import. All photos and respective Tags moved OK. However, only a. Few Tags showed up in the list of Tags. Is there a way to recover.  Thanks

          The tags are normally only held in the catalog so may not be written to the images. If the images are then imported into a new catalog then all the tags may not come in. The ones that do come in may end up under Imported tags.

           

          When moving from one computer to another, it is best to use catalog backup/restore so that the catalog gets transferred over.

           

          See the following

           

          Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

           

          It would be helpful if you told us which operating system you are running on and which version of Photoshop elements you are using.

            Thank you for your answer. Yes, I should have included my environment. I am a new bee to this forum. I moved 12,000 pics from windows 7 system to windows 8.1 using Elements 11. I still have the Windows 7 system and will give the backup/restore a shot.  Thank you.
