I was hoping to delete the entire folder, since all its files are displayed with a "?". The icon next to the folder name is faint.

I deleted some files from my hard drive. How can I remove them from the Photoshop Elements catalog? It insists on trying to find them and refuses to let me import a replacement because it says the file is already there!

I think I finally have the answer. I have imported the same files into Photoshop Elements 2012 and 2020. My captions (entered at TAG 010E) are transferred into the Catalog in 2012 but not 2020. Photoshop Elements 2012 imported the captions from the EXIF II locations (i.e. TAG 010E), but Photoshop Elements 2020 does not. Instead it imports them and saves them to a XMP location. That means I have to learn to read and write to those locations in order to accomodate the 2020 version. When I add a caption to a picture in Photoshop 2020 Organizer and Save Metadata it places the new caption in the XMP region, leaving my caption at TAG 010E. It displays the new caption with the figure, but no longer reports my caption as Image Description. The bottom line: Since the Adobe programmers removed the option of importing the caption from the EXIF II metadata after the 2012 version, I need to learn how to rewrite the XMP data to include my captions. Thank you very much for helping me finally understand the problem and seeing a possible solution. Time will tell whether at my age (91) I can still learn the XMP format (find what points to what) and modify my .JPG header editing program.

You are helping me focus on the problem. The captions are displaying in the Metadata because they are read directly from the file headers. The captions are not displaying in the single-picture view because they are not in the Catalog. Yet, the files were not edited after they were imported. I must have done something wrong when I was importing the files into the Organizer. I'll try again with some different files.

I imported the files into Photoshop Elements 2020 after the captions had been written into TAG 010E (Image Description). I would like it to displayed under the photo in the single-photo view. Instead I get a messagte, "Click here to add Caption". My caption's text is listed under Metadata; Camera Data (EXIF) Image Description

I think you are telling me how to write metadata into the catalog. Unfortunately, my problem is that I have metadata in tens of thousands of EXIF file headers that need to be imported into the catalog when the file is imported. Actually, it appears that the metadata are recognized, although perhaps not imported into the catalog; the caption shows up in the metadata listing as Camera Data (EXIF) Image Description, but it does not display with the picture. I'm reluctant at my age to start editing 30,000 picture files to accomodate what appears to me to be a quirk in Photoshop Elements. If necessary, I'll hope that my old Windows 7 computer, on which Microsoft Digital Image Library still works, will survive as long as I do.

I'm sorry that the evolution of my understanding has complicated the issue. Yes, the captions were originally inserted into the file headers using Microsoft Digital Image Library and copied into the tag location 010E using my own NetBasic program. The distinction between two files demonstrates my problem. Both files have my caption at TAG location 010E. In file A the caption does not appear with the figure, but it is listed under Camera Data (EXIF) Image Description In File B the caption does appear with the figure, and it is listed under IPTC Description. Almost all my files are in this category. I looked at the files with Photo Mechanic. It reports all the captions under IPTC Description/Caption. It appears as if Photoshop Elements 2020 reads the Captions under EXIF Image Description but does not display them with the figure. I would gladly offer copies of the files if someone can help me.

The mystery or my confusion deepens. I tried typing a caption into IPTC Description box. It displays as a caption, but not in the File Info in either the IPTC or EXIF entries and makes no changes to the EXIF tags in the .JPG file. I repeat: I have one picture in which the caption appears below the image and in IPTC Description rather than in the EXIF. I can't find any significant difference in the Tags. Perhaps someone else can, and I would be glad to provide it and another very similar file in which the caption does not display.

Allow import caption from EXIF was set. Note that what I call a caption appears under the list of EXIF tags as "Image Description" in the Metadata listing. It just does not appear under the picture except in the one case where it showed under IPTC "Description". I haven't found anything different about that one file.

Actually, the caption in IPTC format displays, the one under EXIF does not.

In the Organizer I click Import from Files & Folders, select the directory I want and click Get Media. I have some additional information. In Metadata my captions are being recorded under Camera Data (EXIF) Image Description. I found one picture that shows a caption and it was recorded under IPTC Description, However, I looked at both files with Hex Editor and could not see any difference in the TAGs other than the lengths and offsets.

I have more information on my inability to import captions from the headers on .JPEG files into Photoshop 2020. I have two .jpg files. DSCQ_1237.JPG and DSCQ_1249.JPG. The caption is displayed in 1249, The 1249 Metada shows the caption under IPTC Description. The 1237 caption is not displayed, but its text is shown in the Metadata CAMERA DATA (EXIF) Image Description. I've inspected the two files using HexEditor. The Tags at the beginning of the files look identical except for entry lengths and offsets. In both cases the caption is entered at Tag 010E. The only difference I can see is that the ModifyDate of 1249 reflects an editing (probably using Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10), whereas 1237 displays the same date-stime as DateTimeOriginal. I can furnish the files to anyone willing to help me solve this dilemna, since I have thousands of files whose captions are not being displayed.

When I import .jpg files into Photoshop 2020 most of the information in the file header is imported (e.g., camera settings), but the Caption does not appear in the Caption box. The captions do appear when importing into Photoshop 2012. Am I doing something wrong?
Moved from Photoshop to Photoshop Elements by moderator. Subject edited to include "Elements".

The captions were originally created in Microsoft Digital Image Library, which placed them under tag 9C9B (or 9B9C?), but I wrote a program that copied them to 010E. They appear when the files are imported into Photoshop Elements 2012, but not 2019.

When I import .jpg files into Photoshop Elements 2019 the captions don't appear even though are included in the 010E tag in the file header. Do I need to set some control in Photoshop 2019? It always worked fine in Photoshop 2012.

Thank you. I had to solve the problem by going back to PSE 12. It appears to me that the ability to reach into the header for the caption at the 010E tag has disappeared in PSE 2019. I became accustomed to it on PSE12.

Thank You. That solves the part of my problem, when I write a caption in PSE 2019. The bigger problem is that I've been using another editor for 30 years, which places the caption in the .JPG file header at a position labeled by a tag code. PSE 12 automatically read that caption and, I assume, added it to the catalog. As far as I can tell PSE 2019 ignores it, thereby making 30 years worth of captions worthless. I can write a program to copy the captions to another tag location in the file header if that would help.

I have files with captions located at tag 010E that appear in Photoshop 12, but not in Photoshop 2019. Captions entered in Photoshop 2019 do not appear in the file header, possibly only in the catalog.
