So I discovered that what I see as the Geotag location in Microsoft Photo Gallery when imported into Light Room shows up as the "location created" field in the IPTC Extenstion metadata. Is there anyway to get this field into the Location field Metadata so that Light Room can look up the GPS coordinates and my pictures will show on the map?
View 1 RepliesI've been using v3.6 with Win Vista for a long time and also use Geosetter to Geotag my RAW images with location data. Geosetter creates an XMP file which includes the location data. I then update the metadata of the image in LR. In the process LR has always created keywords using the location fields e.g Country, State/Province etc.
I've now moved over to Win 8.1 and re-installed LR 3.6 but still use the same catalog. Now when I go throught the same process as above the keywords are not created. Geosetter is the same version although the Exiftool version has been updated.
This is a technical point...
Step by step:
- with an external dam software (IDimager), I assign the tag Event ("Iptc4xmpExt:Event") with, say, "TEST", to a jpg file.
- I update the file, then close IDimager.
- I open PS, open the jpg file and look at its informations (File > Informations)
Under "IPTC Extension", the box "Event" is empty... No more "TEST". I look at "Advanced" and I find this :
> no "IPTC Extension",
If I check the tag Event with an other program (XnView which allows to see the XMP, or the free and excellent EXIFTool), all is right. There is no problem with this mysterious "_1_" added by PS at the end of the Event tag name.
I'm trying to geotag 73 images. I have them highlighed and I search on the map for the required location (Galway Ireland). When I drag the images across the map, it changes to another location (Tipperary Ireland) with the marker showing "68". I have previously tagged some images in that location.
How to correct it. I have a deadline looming and time is ticking away while I struggling with the new technology!
It's not a long way to Tipperary from where I am - but it could be a long time before I geotag these images!
I have the trial of LR5 and I trid now to geotag my pictures. To do so, I convert the .gpx file to xmp with geosetter. The XMP are created but when I import them into LR, the GPS position is not imported. But If I embed the GPS info into the raw files (cr2) the position is imported but I'd like to keep the raw file untouched so this is why I use the XMP.
When I try to "update metadata" it's not working.
how can I make lightroom to read the xmp files on import ?
The photo information isn’t shown anymore in the exported JPGs in the IPTC since LR4, but it still functions in the TIFF format. Is there a possibility to fix this error?I work with Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 - Lion - LR 5
Is there a possibility to export LR5 photos into grayscale?
When adding metadata in LR3 I have LR set for 'IPTC and EXIF'. I add keywords, copyright info, etc. Under IPTC I add location info - city, state, description, caption, etc. After exporting to CS5 and opening in photoshop - going into 'File Info', second tab - 'IPTC', the location info fields are blank in the 'Description of Image'. Am I assuming incorrectly that this is the same info from LR and that should 'tag' along to the PS file? Other data such as, keywords, copyright, EXIF, are being transferred from LR to PS.
Would be easier for me to select multiple images, apply the info, sync and go on. I'm having to go back into PS, add the info, export a template and apply that template to each file.
Currently I am processing analoge pictures in Lightroom 3.6.
When adding IPTC data to a slide show, I am able to add almost every item, except "Date created". That does not apear in the ABC list.
For many photographers the IPTC Extended fields play a big role in organizing and finding images. Therefore it is crucial that this information is searchable. But neither the Text filter nor the Metadata list filter make use of this metadata.
This should be implemented since not being able to use IPTC Extended metadata within Lightroom is a big disadvantage.
Just starting to use Lightroom (4.4).Testing import to a catalog of images with IPTC metadata. Using PhotoME to display metadata. PhotoME shows list of content in IPTC SubjectCode field, and in Keyword field. These look as intended when I added the metadata to the images in CyPics.
But in Lightroom the Keyword Tags display correctly shows the SubjectCode entries, but does not show any of the IPTC Keyword data.
I am photographing and cataloging the paintings and drawings of an artist. There are over 3,000 of them. LR is such a good database that I am hoping I can use just that and add the details into the IPTC data - Title, Medium, Date created, Size, Price, whether sold and to whom, and - crucially - which shelf in the artist's store building they are located.
My idea was to use SlideShow Pro to publish the catalog to the web for dealers to browse, and my experiments show this would work very well, with IPTC data available on mouse-over.
I also need to produce a catalog with images and info for the artist's assistant so that she could quickly locate a requested painting on the correct shelf. Again this seems feasible up to a point as it is possible to print out the photos with IPTC information.
BUT - and here is my problem: I do not want all the info that the artist's assistant needs in the catalog to be available on the public slideshow, so have put different bits of info into different IPTC sections. But then I come across the limitation of printing in LR - only one section of IPTC info is allowed.
As it is I am at the moment also entering the info into a database (File maker Pro). I find on a good day with the wind behind me I can crop and adjust and catalog about 30 paintings an hour in LR. Also adding the info to File maker nearly doubles that. And more importantly it will be clunky and prone to error to have to alter or add to two separate databases in the future.
I have +25k images organized in a folder structure today. This structure has served me well for many years, but I realize that it has it limits.Testing Lightroom made me decide to go for a new approach, but having some 'nightmares' of how to include my images from my old folder structure (25k images....)
I know I can keep my folders intact in Lightroom, and I have done this. But I also want to have some kind of description on EXIF/IPTC. Today this description is in the folder name, and only there.
How can I automatic include the images current folder name into the image file IPTC Caption or any other EXIF/IPTC field? I want to do this for all images and folders in one batch, and not select each folder manually.
The old images will be more in line with images I import from now on, and they will at least be universal searchable based on the old folder name.
Is there any software that's ready to go for this? Could it be a task for Automator?
I have access to both PC and MAC for this kind of batch operation.
I am exporting approximately 25,000 images from Aperture 2.1.4 and importing them into Lightroom 4. I started working with my small projects of about 300 images to test. From Aperture, I exported the Master files with the Sidecar (IPTC4.XMP) files. [My masters are a mix of .jpgs and .NEF, and I read that the jpgs don't always carry the meta data through]. I successfully imported the master files into Lightroom and ran the "Read Metadata from File" command. I also exported the keywords file from Aperture and imported those into Lightroom as well.
Prior to exporting, I edited one file in Aperture by entering "test caption", "test location", "test keyword", "test copyright" etc. into several of the IPTC fields. These fields are NOT appearing in the equivalent Lightroom fields. I checked the .XMP file (using text edit) and it does contain the correct "test values". I am getting all of the EXIF metadata, but none of my custom values.
Is it possible to fill IPTC Date Created Field from the raw-file properties at import to LR4?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo here's the problem: I am working for a photo journalist/traveling photographer moving his 8tb database into Lightroom 4.Now, for whatever reason, he wants the ISPC-metadata headline, the title, and the caption to be same for each picture. What I mean by that is not simply giving every picture the same exact name, but rather have a picture with the headline "Machu Pichu during Sunset" also have the title ""Machu Pichu during Sunset" and the caption "Machu Pichu during Sunset". So far I've done copy and paste between those boxes (I usually only have a headline) for every single picture, but as you might imagine, with 8tb, this will drive you absolutely insane. What I'd like is to have is some sort of Metadata preset telling Lightroom to just take the headline and copy and paste it to title and caption. Is there any way that is possible? This would really save me tons of completely redundant work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the descriptive text for several hundred images in an excel sheet. There are five separate fields (excel columns) - Image filename; Title (Headline); Description (Caption); Keywords; Location how I can import this information into a lightroom catalog and match them up with the relevant images ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
I need to add geotags to a few existing photos. I really cant retake the photos because they are before and after shots and there is no "before" anymore. Specifically, its GPS coorinates it needs to have.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm learning how to create extension (flex - extension builder) for Illustrator and how to make it communicate with a plugin.
The samples provided in the SDK detailed how to load /unload extension from a menu item from Illustrator, and how to add / remove EventListeners to make the magic happen.
to sum up, this is something like that:
1- click on the menu item
2- load extension
3- add listeners
4- do your stuff......
5- remove listeners
6- unload extension
Basically my plugin is a module/service which is in charge of dealing with / modifying artwork tree. It has no User Interface.
My extension will have a user of this service.
What I would like to do is to load my extension as soon as my plugin is loaded, and unload the extension when the plugin will be unloaded.
Or notify when extension is loaded or unloaded.
Is that possible and hw could I achieve that?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working quite a lot with IPTC information from different images that are then uploaded to a web site and parsed with Perl's Image::IPTCInfo module. However, I've stumbled across some images that can't read by this module but the IPTC does show up in Photoshop.
Therefore, I went ahead and examined a "good" image file with the "identify" tool provided by ImageMagick and the following is a sample output (for the IPTC profile). I divide it into two sections for explanatory purposes. Section 1:
