keywords and PSE 7, How are multiple keywords supported ?
« on: March 23, 2009, 10:02:58 AM »
Hello,

I am a brand new user , but running into difficulties using keywords from Photo Mechanic in the PSE 7 Catalog.

I have created Keywords like

- Bjoern
- Elisa
- Friends
- Children etc.


When I tag an Image with multiple keywords like Bjoern, Elisa , Children
and import the JPEG into PSE I get only one keyword Bjoern Elisa Children... not three. So when I use in PSE the Keyword Elisa ... it will not find the above picture.....

What do I do wrong to transfer multiple keyword tags as really multiple imported keywords into PSE 7 ?

Thanks for advice

Bjoern

I don't think you've done anything wrong.  Photo Mechanic writes the keywords to the IPTC data as multiple elements, each keyword being a separate element.  It sounds like a problem on PSE 7's side of things.
