Photoshop :: CS6 - Append To Group Metadata
Sep 8, 2013
I'm using Photoshop CS6 with Bridge.
Working a lot with documentary images, the Description metadata field is crucial for saving valuable info pertaining to the images, often quite a lot of text. Bridge is useful -- but not as useful as I'd need.
Very often I want to append to the Description for a group of images, and that works nice -- but ONLY if that field is empty in all the fields.
Â
And that is typically not the case. I keep coming back with more info to add, but often not to the same selection of images. Thus if I try selecting them I get "(Multiple values)" in the field.
And if I type something in it REPLACES all the various existing content in the image files -- very bad loss of important data results.
Â
Thus, what I'd need is a way to APPEND text to the Description field contents for a selection of images.
Is there some way in Bridge that I have overlooked? Or is there any plugin or auxiliary program that could be used for this?

For some odd reason, when I choose a different file format in Photoshop CS3, the extension does not change, and I have to manually enter this in. I don't recall having to do this before.
I have a mac as well but it doesnt seem to have this problem.

As far as I can tell, Copy Metadata and Synchonize Metadata do the same thing. Is there a difference in what they do?

I have been using Lightroom since V. 1. I have noticed that many of my file names have been renamed in LR (now V5.3) by changing the filename from "XXX_yyyy.NEF" to "XXX_yyyy-2.NEF". IF I look in the folder where the images are stored, both versions of the file are there. I went into LR and deleted the "-2" version and re-imported the original files. In some cases this worked and the LR file now has the original name. In some other cases, LR re-named on import and appended the "-2" to the file name. I checked and it turned out there were other files with the same name on the disk and in the LR catalogue, so I understand why these files were renamed. In other cases, however, there is no other file in LR with the same name. Yet, when I try to delete the "-2" file in LR and re-import the original file (as I did earlier), LR again renames my file by appending the "-2" suffix to the file name. It does not copy the file, it actually renames the file in the folder where it is stored. I cannot understand why the file name is being changed in this case.
Â
why LR is doing this and how can I prevent it?I am running LR under 64-bit Win 7 with 12 GB RAM, the problem seems to have occurred primarily with Nikon D200 RAW (.NEF) files.

I am using this code snippet to open an idw. With this code, the idw has to reside at the same file path as the current document.Â
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sub OpenIDW()
On Error GoTo Oops
Dim oDoc As Document
 Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Â
Dim sFullFileName As String   Â
sFullFileName = oDoc.FullFileName  Â
Dim sDrawingName As String  Â
sDrawingName = Left(sFullFileName, Len(sFullFileName) - 4) & ".idw" Â Â Â Â Â Â
Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument Â
Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(sDrawingName) Â
Exit Sub Â
Oops: Â Â Â MsgBox "IDW File could not be found. FileName of IDW must be the same as this file.", vbInformation End Sub
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"What if"... my idw is not at the same location, but under a subfolder instead..... like this
Part file c:designsDrawingsJobxxx
Idw file c:designsDrawingsJobxxxIDW
I am sure that this can be done by editing the line "sDrawingName = Left(sFullFileName, Len(sFullFileName) - 4) & ".idw" " . Everything I have tried did not work.

I have table, several chairs and some glasses and plates on table. I want to group them and instance that group, hundred of times. Problem is that I do not have materials implemented and I will not until client is satisfied with arrangement. I have problems later, even using many scripts I found, to add material to all instances. Only way is to select one by one.
Other thing is that there might be new objects added into set, so best way would be to add to master group and that will be added in instances of that group automatically, but that does not work with Maya.

I've been trying to append a user input by adding this text "ABC" to the front of it. How can I do that?
(setq NUMX (getstring "
Please specify NUMBER:")); INPUT NUMBER 123 HERE
(SETQÂ NUMXX (append '(ABC) NUMX))
So that NUMXX now equals ABC123.

I am in the process of creating 2 lisp routines, one that loads Support file search paths on the network and one that adds support file search path locally. Each routine will be run depending on the ability of ACAD to find a file on the server. I noticed that when I add the new directories the default AutoCAD folders get replaced. I researched this and found that using the SETENV and ACAD I can include the default support paths.Â
The issue I am running into is that not all default folders are being added to AutoCAD when I used the ACAD variable. A plugin folder under Program Data is listed in the original install, but it is not listed when I add my directories and used the ACAD variable to add the default directories. The same thing happens when raster design is installed. The help folder and the install directory for raster are not carried over when using the ACAD variable.Â
I am attaching the coding for the lisp routine adding server paths. Is there some syntax I can add to tell it to append to the list instead of replacing the SFSP list?
(vl-load-com)
(setq files (vla-get-files
(vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))
)
)
(setq SERVNM (getenv "servername"))
(setq SLSERV (STRCAT "\\" SERVNM))
[code].........

Is it possible in Lightroom to automatically append/prepend directory names in the file path into the file name itself? Example:
Â
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB filename.jpg (original file name)
Â
==>Â
Â
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB DirectoryA_Sub-directoryB_filename.jpg (concatenated new file name)
Â
If this is not natively possible within Lightroom, any plug-in that delivers this functionality?

I caption my football photos with each player's two digit jersey number, ie. 01-99. I then upload them to SmugMug with the intent of allowing viewers to use the "search" function to view photos of only their player. Unfortunately, the SmugMug search engine ignores any caption that has 2 or less characters. I would like to append all my football captions in Lightroom 3 with an additional identifier to lengthen the caption so it will become searchable, for example append the "01" to "Titans01". I don't care if identifier is at beginning or end. I just want to be able to append an entire album at one time, not just one at a time.

Is there a way I can set PS to autosave some preset metadata every time I create a new drawing or update some photo or photoart? I want it so save into the file somewhere, my name as the creator. I am trying to do this will all my programs that allow me to save a file that I create. This way if I ever need to back up all my personal files again I can search for all files that have me as the Creator or Author and back them up all at once. My intention is always to set up folders such as My Photos, My Art, My Word Docs, My Excel, etc... and save every media I create in these and I can never seem to keep up with this and my files end up everywhere. The my Hard Drive fills up or I want to clean my PC and finding all my files is a challenge and time consuming.

I completely lost trace of an image I'm using on a Photoshop document. I'm using only a portion of the full image and I need the rest of it for another panel...
It was downloaded from the Web, I've already tried the google reverse image search without any results (it's now cropped/resized/renamed) and i carefully went through my Firefox history... somehow, it just disappeared! Is there a way to use photoshop (or maybe Bridge?) to find the data related to my source image (just the name would do it).

I have read that adding keywords to the metadata helps you find a photo you are looking for from a large library of images. My questions is...
can you add keywords to you photos to help search spiders to find them and display them on search results?

I'm wondering if there is a way to add metadata to an image (particularly JPEGs) without involving a re-save of the image itself. Obviously not a problem with TIFF but not great if every time you want to add more keywords your JPEG gets re-saved.

CS4 Photoshop and Bridge no longer (apparently) allow me to cut and paste data in metadata fields (e.g., IPTC). Never had this problem in C3 and earlier. Is there an update (I hope) that fixes this problem?

- I open a .jpg file in PS CS5,
- I change one or several metadata, using the XMP embedded panel (File -> Information)
- I apply the changes,
- I close the file.
Â
At this moment, PS ask me if I want to save the changes. Again... A little bit curious, because I already did it, but... I agree. Then, PS ask me now to choice the jpg quality (you know, the scale from 1 to 12). But changing metadata never affect the image itself... So, it should be useless to do that (of course, I made no modification on the picture itself).
Â
I must say that (if I remember well) sometimes I was able to close the file directly.

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.
Â
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.Â

Where are the MetaData Templates located in PS C6 on a Mac that you can add your contact and copyright information to?
Â
On a Windows machine they are located in Owner/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/XMP. I have some templates that I want to copy from a Windows laptop over to a Macbook Pro.

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........
