Hello all,
I had to do a complete reinstall of Windows. I had previously saved all of my images in an external drive. After the reset I uploaded all of my images back on the PC and reimported them into PSE. All of my previously created tags are currently bundled under "Imported Keyword Tags" However I cannot move them back to the People/Places/Events tags. Is there a way to do this so I can recreate my hierarchy or am I condemned to recreate them all and re-tag everything?
Please let me know and thank you.

To answer your specific question, no, you cannot move imported keywords to People, Places, Events.
To determine whether your old catalog is still available, try searching for a file named catalog.pseXXdb, where XX=the version number of Elements. (Elements 2020 is version 18.) If you are able to find it, double-click on it and it should ope
