I used to use Photoshop Elements and that adds a keyword to its catalog showing which camera took the image. Lightroom doesn't seem to do this. I recently bought a new camera and non of the images imported from it have the camera name as a keyword. Is there an option, which I have overlooked, that will force Lightroom to add the camera name as a keyword to images?
View 3 RepliesLightroom 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)?
Lightroom 4.1 trial, Windows 7
In the past I keyword in photo mechanie and then synchronize in Lightroom and it brings in the keywords, but leaves the pictures as they are, which usually is at the imported stage with the camera default setting applied.
However now when I do it it simply imports the keywords and wipes all previously applied settings including the camera default settings that I used on import.
I have a publish service to hard drive already set up and running. I have decided that I want to change the names of the files I am publishing (exporting) to be written as the name of the keywords applied to the photos.
I have gone through the motions, Ie: right click on the publish service --> Edit Settings --> Check Rename To: --> Drop Down to Custom Settings --> Insert Keywords --> Save
I then mark everything to re-publish when prompted. I then click publish.
Lightroom then re-publishes all the files, however it uses the native filename (Ie: It says it will export them with the new filename, however it doesn't actually do it). I have found that if I do the process manually, for each specific folder, it works. However, I have several hundred smart folders set up and it wouldn't make sense to do this.
Seems like a probem that needs fixing. I have tried on both Lightroom 3 and now on Lightroom 4 as well.
I'm currently working with Phroshop CS3. I’ve been using for several years a Canon PowerShot G7 and G9 as a second camera. Some days ago I decided to upgrade to the G12. However, for the first time I’ve experimented the following problem. I've shot some RAW images to try the new camera.
I downloaded the image to my computer (a 2007 Dell Precision). I started my Bridge CS3 and only the RAW icon appeared on my screen (no preview). When I try to open any of these images in Camera RAW the software doesn't open it and the following message appears: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
1) In LR4, Search for images using Keywords (click on arrow next to Keyword).
2) Select image, export to PS6, save as Tif.
3) Tif retains all Keywords when it appears in LR
4) Despite that, image does not show up in the same 'Search for images using Keywords'.
I'm going through tons of photos and applying keywords to the overall events, so maybe as an example it is a bday party so I select all of those images and tag them all as such. Next, I am trying to tag individual people within all of the tagged bday party images, and as I'm sure you are aware, it is very tedious.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a catalog with images from a group of photographers. Their image files already include metadata. I want that metadata to be imported with the images so I have the keywords, captions and other info that the photographers have already added to them.
I'm using Lightroom 4
Why are the tags I added to images in PSE not assocated with the images when I import them into LR. Some of them are on the keyword list, but not all. And none of them are associated with an image. I am trying out LR but its difficult if I have to go and retag things again?
View 11 Replies View RelatedIn LR5, when two images are selected in Library view, the results in the Keyword Tags panel are incomplete. In my instance, two images were selected. They have some common keywords and those are properly displayed. However, the keywords assigned to only one image appeared with an asterisk in previous versions of LR, a behavior I would like to see continue.
In my instance, one keyword for, we'll say, Image A only, appears but with no asterisk, it should display an asterisk. And, one keyword unique to Image B does not appear at all when both images have been selected, it too should appear with an asterisk.
I'm on a Mac running 10.8.4 and LR CC.
I'm currently trying to catelogue shots but I can't seem to assign keywords to multiple images when not in grid view -We're shooting fine linen so need a large preview to see the style in the shot - the largest thumb isn't big enough in many instances.

I have dug through the MAC Library and Application Support folder and found CameraRaw. That folder contains my listed cameras. But when I am in Lightroom, I do not see that profile in the Camera Calibration section.
Is there a way to force Lightroom to display my camera profile? Lightroom 2 used to display it.
I'm just trying out LR5. I've watched vidoes where in LR4 you can setup a slideshow to play from a folder, and while the slideshow is playing you can take new photos from a tethered camera and it will automatically add it to the slideshow.
In LR5, on my computer (Mac), the incoming photo seems to get stuck and does not make it into the slideshow. I have to stop the slideshow, and restart it to see the new incoming photo taken by tethered camera. I need this function for an event, so I'm just wondering whether I'm doing something wrong, or whether it is a bug in LR5?
I've selected the mode "Use: All Filmstrip Photos". What I've observed is that while playing the slideshow without going fuill screen, a newly taken photo from the tethered camera appears as a white tile, but then the thumbnail contents do not change. When I stop the slideshow, the photo then gets "Developed" and then it will be in the slideshow the next time I play it.
When I try to connect my Nikon D610 with a USB cable to import RAW files (i.e. .NEF), I need to open manually LR and click on the Import button to start importing even if Automatic Import is activated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLooking forward to this update because i use a Fuji X pro 1 and I had read that lightroom 4.4 now supports this camera and sensor.
However after updating all I get in the Lens adjustment under Fuji is the Fuji x100 which has been their for some time.The exif info is showing the correct camera and lens used etc.
I have tried uninstalling and then manually removing any left over files and folders with no luck.
Do i have to install support for this camera as an addon?
Also if i look in the lightroom folder Camera profiles/camera it only lists Canon, Nikon and Sony
I can't download any images with Lightroom 4.4 from any of my cameras, NIkon NEF, or Canon IMG, or Sony DSC images.I used to download all my images with the previous versions...3.0 I have Mac 10.7.5.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I see a tagged image from the camera (tagged using the lock button, to remind me of a image I want to find quickly) once imported into Lightroom? This is possible to do in Photomechanic, as I can see all of the tagged images from the camera once opened in Photomechanic. Yet so far I have not found a way to allow me to do this in Lightroom so far.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been importing and editing photos from a Canon Powershot S3-IS and never had a problem until today. This is the first time I've tried it with the latest upgrade to lightroom.
I first tried importing from my camera memory card slot. Lightroom froze. Then I tried using my card reader and inserting that in the USB slot. Lightroom froze. I tried to connect the camera directly to the computer with the USB cord. Lightroom told me that it could not import the files.
I tried importing the images to my computer and then from my hard drive copying them into Lightroom. That worked. Is the camera too old to use with the latest update from Lightroom. I would think a jpg. file would be pretty standard. how to import to Lightroom without the extra step?
Just come back from a photo trip and tried to import my images into Lightroom from my SD Card and Lightroom doesn't see them, all it see's are the images I took on Saturday.
Today I arrived at my location to photograph Pasque Flowers, I took 1 image then realised I hadn't deleted the images from Saturday so I used the 'Delete Images From Card' in my camera's menu and then proceeded to take a few hundred images. During the day I reviewed my images several times, so I know they were definitely saved to the SD Card.
When I got home I tried to import my images in to Lightroom and all Lightroom saw on the card were the images I took last Saturday.
I tried closing down Lightroom and opening it again - nothing, just the images from Saturday!
I tried using the SD Card reader on my iMac - again, just Saturday's images were found.
I then put my card back into my camera and all I could see were my Pasque flower images from today.
So it seems my camera see's todays images yet Lightroom only sees the images from Saturday I had deleted via my camera's menu at the start of today.

I have Lightroom 3 version 3.6 installed on my MacBook. I just upgraded to OS X10.8.2. Now when I try to import raw images from my Nikon D3100 camera I get images to preview but after I select images to import and then select "import" I receive error messages and then a notice that there are no images to import. The import function then totally shuts down.
I also just downloaded the most current version of Java Run. How do I fix this problem?
All of a sudden LR4 will not import my images from camera card, whereas I-Photo has no problem. I get the message " Some import operations were not performed. the following files were not imported because they could not be read (all images on the card are listed). I have re-downloaded LR 4 and restarted my mac (OSX 10.8.5). LR also will not let me import the same images from I-Photo , it gives the same message as when using the camera card..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently purchased a new camera (Canon 600D) and am shooting in RAW+jpg.
I make many on-camera adjustments (exposure, creative effects etc) which apply to the JPG fine. Is there a way to apply these to the RAW image also (within LR) without manually changing all the settings using the 'develop' module? For example, can I right-click on a RAW image and select 'Apply camera settings' or something along those lines?
On a side note, is there a way to ask lightroom to simply use the JPG version rather than the RAW version (on an individual photo basis)? Lightroom as I currently have it set up uses teh JPG only as a preview.
Not sure if it is relevent but I am using the latest Lightroom 3.x on Vista.
I recently conducted a test on some RAW image files that I processed into maximum file size JPEGs, both through Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom's Export. The Lightroom version of the same image was nearly twice the size.
