I have used several versions of Adobe Photoshop Element's Organizers (5 & 8 in Windows XP, and 11 in Windows 8) to tag photos. For various reasons, I am now looking for a different image organizer software, which led me to consider Windows Photo Gallery (WPG), installed in Windows 8 on my Inspiron 660 PC..

When using WPG, the descriptive tags that I created with APSE display in the Tag & Caption Pane for some but not all of the photos (~1/3 don't). I have tried to isolate the cause(s) for this, such as differences in the file name, size, etc.. But, I cannot identify why this is happening. I also reviewed a large number of Q&A's in Windows Essential with no success. The number of photos lacking descriptive tags is large ~ 3000, so reentering the tags is not an option.

Therefore, I am hopeful you have a solution to my problem. Thanks.
