Lynn here are their replies, at this point I am not 100% certain myself what this all means to you. But hopefully it will steer you in the right direction.

It depends how tagging is done. PSP now supports IPTC tags in
JPEG files.

I'm surprised that IPTC information can't be stored in the
PspImage format, though I would expect that it isn't supported
in PNG. I would have the person double-check the PspImage
format.

You can add keywords to images in PSP but they reside in the
organizer database and not in the image itself. I believe that
Adobe does just the same. In PSP you can add a description to
the PspImage format using Image > Image Information. This is
also retained in a few other formats (e.g. TIF, GIF), though
not PNG. The PNG format does support something called a Text
Chunk. You can add these to your PNG files with TweakPNG or a
similar program. That doesn't mean the text would be searchable
in some program but it would serve as a note describing the file.

Well a similar post this week informed me That the tags are added to exif
Where as My Keywords fused for searches are In a data base. That certainly
exclude's PNG from tags But dose not explain PSP
"I am adding this part, maybe try using keywords on your .pspimage and .png's instead of tags?

PSP writes into JPEGs too, now it has IPTC support. I don't believe
the poster's report that it doesn't also write to PspImage files.
I think - though I don't know - that there are two ways to specify
keywords, depending on PSP and/or Browsanizer version. I'm ready
to be corrected on that. Which is the Adobe component that allows
you to retrieve images based on combinations of keywords they do
or do not contain? What does it do for formats like BMP or PCX that
don't store keywords internally?
