Is it possible to add different captions underneath images in the html web galleries in LR 3.6? I want to name individual bird species in same gallery, but seem only to be able to add the same caption text to every image.
I'm in process of creating a photobook using LR4's Book Module. Whenever I create a multiple columns page or photo caption, the text won't flow from the 1st column into the succeeding column.... The multiple columns feature however does work for normal text placeholders.
Using LR4 (not the Beta) processing JPEGS in the web gallery module seems to be taking about 5-TIMES as long as in LR 3 (or processing the same set of JPEGS to the same size and quality in Develop module in LR4).
I'm not a software engineer, but I would have thought that processing a large set of images using the same spec would be an excellent opportunity to utilise multi-core processors, and that doesn't seem to be happening on my system:
Mac Pro 2 X 2.66 Ghz - 20GB RAM - OS 10.6.8. ATI Radeon HD 5870 Canon 5DII RAW files
due to the disappearance of Apple's iDisk I have to transfer my Website (http[url....]) to another hosting.. I was beginning to change using LR galleries. Now I would have to change them but I can not open them in LR ... if you browse around you will see the return of galleries take you back to the old hosting ...
I'm finding that when I export a web gallery and overwrite an existing gallery (folder) the some contents of the previous folder remains.
I'm using LR 4.3 (on a Mac) and exporting using the Turning Gate web gallery.
I choose to export a gallery that overwrites an existing gallery folder which contains folders of images labeled Photos and Thumbnails (the folders have contents). The newly exported gallery does not include any images (I choose use selected photos but have none selected). LR asks me if I want to overwrite the existing folder and I click OK.
When the new folder is opened the Photos and Thumbnails folders have the images from the previous gallery. Why would this happen if I choose to overwrite the existing folder? In other programs overwriting a folder means the whole content is being replaced, not just certain things.
In the past I've also discovered that images from previous exported galleries will remain in a folder in the above scenario even if I export a different selection from the gallery. Should I report this as a bug with LR, or is exporting like this a (mis)function of the gallery?
I use Lightroom 5 for managing my web galleries, but I have my own software to run them. My workflow is this: I use "Publish to folder" to generate the needed JPEG images, and I use another software to sync them to my serverI use the "Web Gallery" feature only to define the list and the order of photos in each galleryI use the "Export..." feature in Web Gallery to get the .XML file with the list of photos - this file can be directly read by my softwareThe problem is that "Export..." also generates the images for the gallery, and after the XML has been generated I have to stop this task manually - it's an annoyance. Furthermore, it would be nice if I could export all my galleries in a single step, with multiple files generated, one per gallery. I don't need anything else other than the image file name: the metadata are extracted from JPEGs. All file formats would be ok (XML, TXT, JSON, whatever).
My client wants to group multiple web galleries in a single collection then upload them to his website enmass. I maintain they must be uploaded one at a time. Which is correct?
I manage a professional stock photo agency using ZenPhoto software that I would like to replace by Lightroom galleries (around 10,000 images).
I am looking for an internal search engine based on tags defined inside Lightroom. Does such a tool exist as a plugin or built in? If not, it would be a great addition to Lightroom for web publishing.
In the Library, I create a Collection. In the Web module, I create a web gallery with the Collection. When all the parameters are set, I click "Create Saved Web Gallery" (upper right corner). I give the web gallery a unique name and save it. The web gallery appears in the list of Collections, including the little 3x3-grid icon to the left of the name. When I hover over the name, the little right-arrow appears to the right of the gallery name and if I click the arrow, LR switches to the Web module and displays the gallery for that collection. This is how it should work.
After opening and closing LR several times after creating the web gallery, I have noticed in the list of Collections that the web gallery icon (3x3-grid) has changed into the regular Collection icon and the little right-arrow is gone. The unique name I gave the web gallery is still there. This has happened with several saved web galleries, although not all web galleries. I am baffled by why it is happening intermittently.
I reinstalled Windows 7 and copied over my LR4 presets and galleries over to the new install. I decided to try ""Store presets with catalog" to keep things simpler next time since I do periodic backups of the catalog folder anyway, so in the future all presets are backed up at the same time as the catalog. I put the presets including a couple web gallery presets in the proper folders. LR4 recognized all presets except for the web gallery presets--when I went to the Web module it didn't list them as options. I then copied those web gallery presets to the default LR4 settings folder (C:UserXYZAppDataEtc-so-on-so-forth) at which point it recognized the presets and listed them in the Web module.
So it seems that LR4 doesn't respect the "Store presets with catalog" setting when looking for web gallery presets.
how do I put a caption on just ONE photo in a slide show? Have tried and tried. (following instructons step by step) and the caption always appears on EVERY slide! I must be missing something.
I have created 2 web galleries--one html and one Flash. I saved them to my local drive and they work perfectly. Then I uploaded to our server (I checked to see that all folders/files made it, and they did) and then when I access the index.html file, neither the thumbnails or the full-size images show. Here are the two URLs
How can I set the Title and Caption for multiple pictures at once? If I select a range of say 8 picture that I want to have the same title and caption in the metadata, only one of them getst the title and caption set. The title and caption remain blank for the rest.
1 - Using LR Transporter plugin It's not the solution because this plugin change caption in LR. I want to change only during export. 2 - Using rc Exportant pluginI don't manage to change something in the preset. I've got a bad level in english and I don't really understand what to do to make what I want 3 - Doing my own plugin I've tried with lightroom SDK. I manage to do a box in export box to complete some metadata. But I'm not a programmer, only a photographer, and I don't know how to do after.
I know that it's possible to do something like that. I use jf Flickr plugin and ther is a place to do that in this plugin (Metadata Management / Image Title - Description).
I'd like to do exactly the same with piwigo's publish.
I want to print a picture and use the caption from the meta data and the information about shutter speed, focal length and so on. I figured out that there is a way to print this information in the print module, but it is attached directly to the image, which does not look good. Question is there another way? Maybe involving Photoshop? I would like to have the flexibility I have with the slide show designer, where I can put caption to the left side of the image and ISO, shutter speed and so on to the right. Is this possible somehow?
I am looking for an easy preset that I could apply to a lot of pictures.
I would like the caption or title to show as an overlay on exported jpeg files. How do I do it? Do I need to do it in Photoshop or can I directly do it in Lightroom 5 CC.
I want to show text on selected individual slides in a slideshow . I know that I can use caption or title for this ( can I use either one or is there a preferred one ? ) .
However , not all the photos in the slideshow have captions, so for those without, it shows " < empty >" respectively 2 " ". I want that there is nothing on the slide if there is no caption. How can I do this
The caption field of Metadata automatically fills with OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA. How can I prevent this? How can I get rid of this on my 3000 pictures of Turkey without manually deleting each caption? I am new to Lightroom, and have version 4.1. I use an iMAC, OSX10.6.8.
What's the difference and purpose of Keywording and metadata such as title and caption, crator, sublocation , label etc? Where & how is the information used? Where does it appear?
Is there a way to export images with borders (like the slideshow layout) and metadata caption (iptc/exif). I'm using a plug-in Mogrify now, but this way I have to export every photo twice (first to create borders, then to add the metadata). photo below is exported with the Mogrify plug-in.
It would be awsome to export photos like the gallery layout since most lightboxes have only 1 line of caption and no design/edit options. This would save heaps of time.
Any method when in the Library module to quickly edit the Title and Caption per image without having to use the mouse to click in the Title box each time. For instance - my current workflow is a bunch of products with their own SKU titles. Usually I would follow this step:
1. Import images from Camera -> Lightroom 2. Open Library and click on first image, select the Title field and enter the SKU (for instance : HG4356) 3. Now I would click in Title and type in "PROFILE" or "TOP" or "SIDE" 4. I would then use the right hand key on the keyboard to move to the next image in my filmstrip and then have to use the mouse to click into the Title field again. 5. Once all these images are completey named, I select them all and then select Library -> Rename Photos and use the Title_Caption as my fields and rename all my files to the correct SKU names.
I can usually automate option 3 somewhat by selecting all the PROFILE views and doing a sync etc... but the SKU section gets a bit tedious when having to mouse click each time into the field. Ideally, I would like a "Naming" feature where it asks for the name, upon typing it in and pressing enter, it jumps to the next image, into the same field and you can start typing again.
I know its sounds a bit lazy - but when you have over a 1000+ images to rename - it does take its time - and anything to speed up this process.
Has anyone tried to make their own web page gallery templates for Photoshop? I know you can do it, but even with it being explained in the help file and such, I have little luck.
