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.
