The last version of Elements I had until recently was 13. I've upgraded to 18. How do I get the keyword tags set up in 13 so that they'll be attached to the appropriate photo once I bring them into 18? I have over 18,000 photos - retagging simply isn't an option.

    If you are installing on the same computer it should be possible to simply upgrade your previous catalog.

    Launch pse 2018 and go to

    File >> Manage Catalogs

    Choose your pse13 catalog

    You can back up your catalog in Element 13 and restore it in Elements 2018. Please see Back up or restore catalogs in Elements Organizer 2018 for instructions.

    That might work, but I can't get v13 to complete a Backup.

    What happens when you try backing up your catalog in version 13?
