I'm a hobbyist photographer with lots of personal photos and some I might use for work related projects. I'm just getting started with LR and want to make sure I start right.
1. What metadata fields should I consider using that may be useful in the future? None of my images currently have metadata applied.
2. Will star ratings and labels from Bridge show up in LR?
When I import files from Photo Mechanic to LR4.1 the star ratingsfro PM show in LR, but when I then export again from LR the star ratings are gone in Photo Mechanic. Obviously I need to tag somewhere in the prefs, problem is I can't find where?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running LR 4.1 RC and recently all the icons disappeared from the photos in the film strip at the bottom. I can no longer see star ratings, the icon for the quick collection, crop icon, or anything else. I did View Options (Right click) and everything is checked on.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe would like to export RAW files in their original RAW format AND retain their color correction and stars labels. We would then like to import these exported RAW + XMP files into other Lightroom Catalogs. Sometimes when we do this, however, the color correction and stars ratings from the last catalog are not visible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor no apparent reason I can no longer add ratings/picks/colour labels to my pictures through either shortcuts or the menu. The only way I can add ratings is by clicking on the ratings dots when I have the grid extras turned on.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the Library module, to the left of the "Metadata" label next to the twisty to open it up, is a drop down list that starts with "Default" and then has a list with sets such as "DNG", "EXIF", etc.
Two questions or requests:
1) I want to be able to see ALLLLLLLL of the metadata. Right now I got out to ExifTool and suck out the data I need and hand corrolate that. In last night's particular need, I needed the rotation of the camera body which is in the metadata (twice) but I don't know how to view it from inside Lightroom.
2) I want to be able to add to the list I described with my own sets of metadata fields. To me, this would be very nice. There are tons and tons of fields but I'm interested in only a few but I'm sure each person is interested in a different set. It would be nice to be able to customize which fields are displayed. Of course, once you go that far, then you may as well add the ability to name the sets and save them for later use.
Is either one of these items possible in Lightroom 4? (or 5?)
I have a number of photos in LR that came from a older non-digital camera or scanner and I would like to be able to add some information to the metadata like camera make and model but some of the fileds are not visible unless the data was brought into LR at import. Other fields in the metal data cannot be over written or corrected. I would like to be able to do global editing to my metadata but I can't even modify one. I read some postings going back to 2007 on a forum here but I don't think anything has changed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen i use lightroom on 2 monitors i look mostly at the loupe view on the second monitor to judge or cull my pictures. I can see the resultant stars, colors and reject flags on the grid view on the primary monitor. but i cant see the ratings on the loupe view. I sometimes get confused as to whether i actually rated or color coded a particular photo in a similar series, but i have to look back at the primary monitor to make sure. Am I missing something? Is there some way to have a large view of the picture but include rating info on the same screen?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi always wondered.... is there a reason why color lables are only stored in the catalog and not in the files xmp fields?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of copying my old pictures to my new computer, and it seems like the ratings info I assigned in Bridge didn't go with them. Where are the files that has this information as well as all of the non-destructive editing in Camera Raw (or is the editing part saved in the raw file?)
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to import metadata into LR3 that I've created in Bridge CS4? Another thread here said it's possible, but there was no explanation on how to proceed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble with my metadata description / caption box when exporting to Photoshop CS6 and saving for web and devices. Once I save for web and view the image in Bridge all the necessary fields are transferred from Lightroom except description / caption field.
Below are the steps I have followed thus far.
> Tick Automatically write changes to XMP in cataloge settings
> Tick the box in the basic info field and caption sub field in Edit Metadata Presets
> (Command, E) Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments
> Resize then (Save for Web and Devices) in Photoshop CS6
I have highlighted the Caption box and entered the information in the field shown below then Synced Metadata and saved. When I export the file to Photoshop CS6 and save for web and devices as a jpeg the description field shown below comes up empty. All other ticked fields translate from LR to bridge just not the caption/description field.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am saving the metadata in LR4 (as I normally do with LR3) and not all the adjustments are registering in Bridge CS5 or Adobe Camera RAW.
The develop panels (i.e. tone, presence) in LR4 have obviously changed and don't exactly match the current Adobe Camera RAW adjustment panel and so I am noticing that all the topmost develop tools such as Tone (Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks) and Presence (clarity, vibrance, saturation) are not registering/landing in Bridge.
I was pleased for the first time ever to see some yellow labels created in Bridge retained after an import into LR.
But before I got too happy, I then noticed (and this is why I'm writing), that the red labels I created in Bridge are not there only the yellow ones.
Anything I can do to have LR show all the colors?
LR 5.0
How can I delete or apply ratings to files in bridge cs6? It stopped working and I don't know why.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to mark images yellow in LR if I needed to do further work on them in Photoshop. Once exported as jpegs, I'd open them in Bridge and sort for color labels. In the last year or so, Bridge stopped seeing those labels. It doesn't work in CS4 or CS6.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to show the full GPS coordinate data in the metadata?
In Nikon ViewNX it shows one of the coordinates as S23d 19m 15.23s from my image while Lightroom 4.2 only shows 32d 19m 15s. The 0.23seconds is missing in LR4. The data must be there as I have images that are shown in different positions on the map but the GPS metadata is the same. Since the full data is not sown in LR4 the metadata cannot be accurately copied from one image to another.
I need to add into the metadata, a drop down option where classification/privacy markings can be selected. This needs to be visible for search options as well as being available for batch process........
Currently using CS5 PS.
Lightroom doesn't import my GPS data - it is there in the RAW (NEF) and jpeg files but doesn't show in the Metadata within Lightroom. Nikon View NX shows the data but I want to use Lightroom!

I just updated to Photoshop CS6 from CS5.1 and trying to iron out a few issues.In Bridge CS 6 my Metadata Panel items are truncated for some reason. There is plenty of room in the panel width, so...? I have even pulled the width out further than shown below. There are no problems with the other panels.
Below are pics of the same panel in my install of CS 6 and then the same panel in my installation of CS 5.1.
I've just started to use color labels and I noticed that in grid view some show up as a pale color and some show up as a darker color even when set to the same label color. I can't find a rhyme or reason to this. Why this happens?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have CS5 and am playing around with CS6. So far so good, impressed overall.
I like to have Bridge set up to display the Metadata for each image, and when I view the metadata, it is not as complete as what I see in the CS5 version of Bridge.
Specifically, I like to be able to see the Subject Distance, which is recorded for the camera/lens combination I'm using. In Bridge CS5, the Subject Distance displays just fine, but it is completely absent in CS6.
Also, I like to see the ISO as well. In Bridge CS5, it shows nicely as "ISO Speed Ratings" while in Bridge CS6, it shows as "(ISO) Photographic Sensitivity" - kind of excessive.
To verify this, I made sure *all* metadata options were chosen to display, but Subject Distance is not showing up anywhere, and the ISO is a bit wordy.
How to get it to display Subject Distance, which is contained in the metadata.
I am in the process of updating metadata in Photoshop CS4 using Bridge. I would like to print the metadata, and particularly the "description" portion.
Is there a way to print metadata entries from Photoshop CS4 using Bridge?
Due to space problems I just moved all my photographs to a 3TB external disk. Now when I try to write metadata to a photograph in Bridge CS6 all I get is error messages and nothing gets written. If I move the photographs back to the PC everything works okay.
View 2 Replies View Relatedcan i custmize the sort order of fiter or metadata items draging up or down?
for example have aperture value at the begining of the list instead file type?or camera data at the top instead file properties.
i guess i was able to do it with bridge cs3 or cs4 but i have no more installed.
As far as I can tell, Copy Metadata and Synchonize Metadata do the same thing. Is there a difference in what they do?
