Lightroom :: Can 5.2 Auto Complete Hierarchical Keywords

Oct 26, 2013

When I enter a keyword for an image Lightroom offers me a selection from an auto-complete list, this is great and I get my keywords right.
 
My question is whether Lightroom can offer auto-complete suggestions for the hierarchical list when entering a new keyword.
 
For example I have a keyword call Activity which has keywords like swimming, walking, running within it.
 
If for my next image I want to add diving, I can type Diving < Activity, this adds the keyword Diving to my image and Diving would be with Activity.
 
The problem I have is that I can never always remember the exact spelling of some of my keywords which means I get duplicates, for example
 
if I cannot remember whether Activity is actually Activitys or even Activities I want Lightroom to get the right spelling and not add a new keyword, so if I enter Diving < Act - I want Lightroom to auto-complete Activity for me so I get it right.  Without this capability and I do not recall the correct spelling I always end up creating a new keyword.

Lightroom :: Keywords In Hierarchical Form

Dec 28, 2013

I have my keywords arranged in categories (ex: People), then subcategories (Ex: Family), then subjects, (Ex: AJ).

When keywording an image, I would like to click the subject (AJ) and have LR tag the two upper level subcategory & parent category (Family & People) automatically.
 
I can't seem to accomplish this. I must manually check each keyword, even though they are nested. I tried creating a keyword path (AJ>Family>People), but rather than do what I want it to, it appears as a new keyword with the name "AJ>Family>People".

Lightroom :: Hierarchical Keywords Via Exif Data?

Apr 17, 2012

I am trying to import plant photos into Lightroom4 with their Family, Genus and Species along with Location keywords, by placing the data in the image using exiftool. But failing. One hierarchy seems to work, but not more. I can replicate what Lightroom creates, but it does not seem to read OK.

Lightroom :: Create Keywords At Highest Hierarchical Level in 5?

Dec 1, 2013

I cannot seem to create a new keyword in LR5 at the highest hierarchical level.  When I try to create a new keyword, either with an image selected or not, it puts that new keyword in as a (third-level) sublevel keyword within a keyword that I have created in the past.  I can move the newly created (sublevel) keyword to be a sublevel keyword within another previously created highest level keyword.  But I cannot create a new highest level keyword.

Paint Shop Pro :: X6 Crashes On Hierarchical IPTC Keywords

Sep 25, 2013

I already had a thread about PSP X6 crashing (URL....), but what I finally found now deserves a new thread, because it has nothing to do with MSVCR90.DLL, but with PSP handling the keywords, as it seems now after tests.

PSP was crashing when opened in a certain folder, so I renamed the folder, created a new one, and copied the images from the old renamed one 2-4 pieces at a time. I then opened PSP on the new folder after each copy, and all went well until the last 2 copied images. I then deleted them, copied again each of the 2 images separately, and found the culprit. It was the only image in that folder being tagged with hierarchical IPTC keywords. Moved the image from the folder, copied others into, and all went well again.

Navigated to another folder with older pictures, all tagged hierarchical, and PSP crashed again.Even after deleting the hierarchical keywords from that image, and renaming it didn't work. As soon as PSP founds that image it crashes.

Taking a look into the database: Indeed there is no structure for hierarchical keywords. And this is for me almost a real catastrophe! Both Lightroom 4 and Xnview can handle hierarchical keywords, which are very useful. Because I'm working with these software as much as with PSP, I started to tag my pictures accordingly, about 1200 of them until now, which took hours and hours. Xnview can even nicely create nested categories from the keywords, so it's one click to find all pictures with a given word.

Lightroom :: Auto Assigns Old Keywords

Apr 4, 2013

Whenever I add new files to my image archive, Lightroom automatically assigns some old keywords to the new files.  I suppose this is a preset I made some time back but I cannot find the preset to delete it or turn it off.  How do I find it and delete it so that it doesn't auto keyword my new files?

Photoshop :: Lasso Tool Auto Complete

Oct 9, 2013

While using the Lasso tool often (10% of the time) it will complete the selection pre-maturely, with a single left click. Similarly and about the same frequency it wont start a path at all and I will need to click again to begin the selection. This has been happening for 5months since I upgraded to Creative Clous and Photoshop CC. Im running a more than capable machine.
 
Is there any known resolution for this?

Lightroom :: Avoid LR4 And Get LR3 Because Of Huge Hierarchical Keyword List?

May 20, 2012

I abandoned LR2 several years ago because it crashed from my hierarchical list of 12,000 keywords. (Botanical and common names and other terms.) I have been using CS5/Camera Raw/Bridge to manage and edit my images. The hierarchical list is necessary for my stock photo business.
 
I will soon be needing to compare and edit images for a book publication and gallery show and I am thinking I may need to return to LR so I can work more effciently.  I do not care about not exporting some keywords or synonyms etc.  I think (right now anyway) that it is fine that all keywords associated with the images get exported for my stock submissions. I  ususally check off only the sub-keywords or sub-sub-sub keywords.
 
Here are my questions:
 
1) Is LR 3 able to handle my huge list of hierarchical keywords which is now larger than 12,000 words?
 
2) Should I upgrade to LR3 and not to LR4 to avoid the keyword mess I have been reading about but don't understand very well?
 
3) Is it possible to even upgrade to LR3 now that LR4 is released?
 
3)  Would LR4 handle my keywords better or worse than LR2?  Than LR3?
 
4) Is there a work efficiency reason to upgrade to CS6 without using any version of LR and continue using Bridge and Camera Raw as I have been?
 
5) Is there anything else I have not thought to ask? I am somewhat technically challenged and dread learning new software, having been burned in the past with ExpressionsMedia disaster and LR2 which crashed etc.

Lightroom :: How To Select Multiple Keywords To Add To Images Without Keywords Collection

Aug 1, 2012

Lightroom has a collection containing all images without keywords.

As soon as I apply a keyword to images they instantly disappear from the collection. This is alright when I only want to apply a single keyword, but how do I stop it happening when I want to apply multiple keywords to the same image(s)?

AutoCad :: PDF To Automatically Open When Auto Publish Command Is Complete

May 16, 2013

We have our options set to Auto Publish on Save (Autocad 2011). On some of our stations, the PDF will pop up automatically. This is what we WANT to happen. On other stations, the pdf has to be found and then opened to make sure it is correct. (this step, which is apparently way to difficult for some people, is not being performed, leading to extra work/time later to complete the project) I had everyone ensure their DWGtoPDF.pc3 custom properties was set to "open in PDF viewer when done" (and when they do a straight plot, it does come right up) It just wont do it when its thru Auto Publish. Mine is one of them that comes up just fine....I have looked at every setting I have and tried to compare with theirs, but it all looks the same.

Lightroom :: How The Auto Tone Auto Adjusted The Exposure Slider

Apr 25, 2012

Yes, I'm probably the only person on the planet that wants this, but I liked how the Auto Tone auto adjusted the Exposure slider (ONLY!) and left all the other sliders at zero in the Lightroom 4 beta.
 
Is there a way to write a preset that returns that behavior?

Lightroom :: 5 Backup Will Not Complete

Jul 12, 2013

My LR4 backups took forever (130,000+ images) on a 3-year old iMac (2.93 Gig i7 Intel w/ 8 Gig RAM and OS 10.8.4), but it DID complete the backup procedure.  Unchecking Optimization and Integrity Check sped up the backups considerably.  Upgraded to LR5 and not backups WILL NOT COMPLETE, regardless of what is checked off or not.  Longest time I've waited so far is 30 hours.
 
Backups have been tried to internal Mac HD, an external 2 Gig, an external 1 Gig, and a 10 Gig Drobo array.  ALL fail to complete.

Lightroom :: Where Have Keywords Gone

Mar 3, 2013

I have just installed a new computer when my old one died.  I had everything backed up and have managed to successfully restore my lightroom catalogue.
 
I can see all my photos and all the adjustment history and I can see my library of keywords.  However, none of my photos show the key words that I previously assigned to them. 
 
I am not sure whether there is a file that I need to restore from the backup somewhere.

Lightroom :: Import From Another Catalog - Will Not Complete

Jun 24, 2013

I have a LR4.4 catalog that contains thousands of edits and all my publish services. File size is 1.2Gb.  I used the LR5 beta and would like to import the edits from that catalog as well as the edits and services from the LR4 catalog.
 
Here is what I have tried.  Open the LR4 catalog in LR5, tell it to upgrade the catalog for use with LR5.  This step works without any issues and the edits and services are present.  Now I tell LR5 to import from another catalog and select the LR5 beta catalog.  LR begins processing but will never complete.  Once it gets to checking for changes in duplicates it seems to hang.  Checking the Windows Task Manager reveals that LR5 is still processing, but I have let it sit for over a day and it will not complete the process.  I have also optimized both catalogs before attempting the import again, but that seemed to have no effect.
 
The system should have plenty of processing power being that it is an overclocked 6 core Phenom II running at 4.25GHz with 16GB of RAM, but it seems to just never finish.

Lightroom :: PSE10 Keywords In 4?

Mar 8, 2012

I am very happy with some 200 keywords that I use in PSE10 under Win7/64 on over 20k images.  Is it possible, in LR4, to pick up files with keywords written to metadata, and work with them in LR4 (selection, editing, etc.) WITHOUT damaging or "upgrading" the PSE10 catalog?  If yes, could PSE10 pick up keywored changes made in LR4?  
 
Or do you have to commit to one program or the other?

Lightroom :: How Keywords Got Scrambled

Dec 20, 2012

Some how my keywords got scrambled. The first thing I'd like to do is move a keyword from its new (incorrect) location as a sub-keyword back to being a parent keyword of a hierarchy. I have tried dragging and dropping it but it immediately returns to its incorrect location. I considered creating a new keyword as a parent keyword (the same word), then open the images linked to the misplaced keyword and drag all the images to the newly created parent keyword. Then empty and delete the misplaced sub-keyword. But...I fear loosing links to collections, vitual copies, etc. for all the images. best method for returning the keywords to their original placement in the hierachy.

Lightroom :: How To Import Jpg In LR5 (cc) Without Keywords

Mar 17, 2014

When I import jpg photos Lightroom automatically also imports all keywords. How can I stop this? The reason I don't want them is that I actually want to re-do all of my keywords/imports. I know it's a big pain, but I feel that it needs to be done, as I've learned how to do things more properly (in theory).

Lightroom :: Exporting Keywords In V5?

Nov 5, 2013

I recently converted from Lightroom 4 to 5.  I just noticed that not all my keywords are exported to my jpeg file.  For example I have the following keywords in Lightroom; Horizontal, Landscape, National Forest, Scenic.  My exported jpeg has only the keyword Landscape.
 
In the Library Module, when I click on the dropdown Keyword Tags and select "Will Export", I only see the keyword Landscape.  I'm not sure what this "feature" is all about. I need to be able to export all keywords.
 
This problem seems to be consistent and I have a test file set up so I can repeat the problem.  Only certain keywords are not exported.

Lightroom :: Moving Complete Catalog To Another Location On Mac?

Oct 1, 2013

For a while I've been using my Lightroom on my Mac on a folder inside my Google Drive folder. The reason for this is that I have an online backup as well my 2 external hard drive backups (you can NEVER have too many backups ).
 
However, Google Drive has proved to be a bigger let down than any Michael Bay movie out there, and I've now signed up to Copy. If you fancy creating a Copy account, you'll get 5Gb free on top of the 15Gb they so generously give you if you click on this link!
 
Anyway, my plan is to move my Catalog to another folder in my root drive, aptly titled “Copy”. So, I created a new folder within Lightroom, and went to move it, (whilst using the Lightroom interface) — so far I'm pretty sure this is the correct way, but I've attached a screenshot of the message that came up. This should be ok shouldn't it? I've attached screenshots of where I want to move it to, and the prompt that came up.

Lightroom :: Maintaining Keywords In PC To Mac Conversion

Feb 13, 2013

I recently converted from PC to Mac; downloaded and installed LR4, and it quickly recognized my photos and photo folder structure.  Also, apparently each individual keyword has been imported.  However, 3 problems:
 
1. no photos have keywords assigned to them
2. the keyword nested structure (keywords within other keywords) did not transfer, so they are all listed alphabetically
3. I don't see any history on the edited photos, so am not sure if I have originals (unedited) or edited.  If I have edited photos, can I go back and re-edit (non-destructive editing in LR)?
