Copy Tags in Organizer from one photo/video to another.

A great feature to add is to be able to copy tags from one picture/ Video to the next. So many times i see a video or photo and spend time placeing say 7 people tags only to find out the next one has the same. How hard could it be it implement this.  i know I can select multible and then tag them all but sometimes your doing it one by one and its just not possible.

You can do this using Adobe Bridge, which is a free download for Organizer users.   Select your image with the medadata you want to copy and pick Tools-Create Metadata Template (see attached screenshots).  You can then select which metadata items you want to include/exclude, then select the target image(s) and choose Tools-Replace-Metadata.  Also, with Bridge you can create custom metadata keyword fields (e.g., people tags) and setup specific searches on them.

I agree totally, why cant you do this it would seem like a simple feature.. Anyway I am finding google photos does so much more in organizing and works pretty dam good, im dont use organizer alo its to manual. Take out a subsciption for a few $$ a week and get a good storage.. download all your photos, ad a decription to one picture and it will find everything, no need to tag each clip.. I have wasted so much time doing this. Adobe needs to catch up with photo recognition and AI

Unless I'm missing something, Adobe Bridge operates on images out in the filing system -- not on images inside Photoshop Elements. And images in the filing system ordinarily do not have Photoshop Elements tags and albums contained within the file's metadata. Also, you might want to copy tags between images that are side-by-side in Elements' catalog, but in wholly different folders out in the filing system. So I'm not sure it's really very practical to use Bridge the way that Monte307 described for the purposes that the original question described. If I'm wrong, please tell me, because I, too, need to copy tag & album designations between lots of pairs of images.

You're not missing something,  Photoshop Elements Organizer tags and album info do not get written to the files (other than stringing people tags together into a single Keywords and Subject entry (e.g. Keywords:  John, Larry, Jane)), if one chooses to save metadata to file.  What I was suggesting is that Bridge might be a better alternative to Organizer for those users needing more robust features that Organizer lacks.
