I run Lightroom on my laptop for field use. When I get home I want to transfer the files to my desktop sys which is much more robust for graphics handling. My problem is that if I assign keywords to the photos on my laptop I can't get them to transfer to my desktop system. I'm obviously missing something.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tagged all of my video files (wmv, mp4) with keywords in Adobe Bridge. I am certain that they are written to the files. Unfortunately PE 11 Organizer doesn't seem to see those on import? Any suggestions on how to make that happen? I am looking for ways to search for video clips and import the search results into Premiere Elements. Unfortunately there is no direct way to go from Bridge to Premiere Elements either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I import jpg photos Lightroom automatically also imports all keywords. How can I stop this? The reason I don't want them is that I actually want to re-do all of my keywords/imports. I know it's a big pain, but I feel that it needs to be done, as I've learned how to do things more properly (in theory).

I am new to LightRoom and am about to import more than 600 folders.These folders on the disc have names that relate to the content, and I was wondering if it is possible to add the folder names as keywords during import?
So if a photo is in /Weddings/New York/Chris and Charlie Hansen it would be tagged with 'Weddings, New York, Chris and Charlie Hansen' as keywords during import.
Naturally I would like this to happen dynamically so when import hundreds of folders in one go, the keywords are assigned as relevant. should I do it manually after import (which is of course possible, but quite a bit of work).
I just duplicated a bunch keywords upon importing a month worth of photos from a remote project. I assume this is because LR has no idea how to handle them other than importing them in a flattened state. I suggest a checkbox that tells LR whether or not to look for an existing keyword of the same spelling in its structures before creating another one. If it then finds multiples, it would be easy enough for it to figure out the correct keyword based on context.
I have many nested keywords and have found the nesting to be pretty much useless in the real world, but it is a great organizational tool. It allows about the same grouping functionality as collections but without the messy accumulation of collection names that were only used once.
I'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
I'm finally incorporating LR to my Bridge / ACR / PS workflow.I have a very detailed keyword tree that I use in Bridge. This tree is organized in a hierarchical manner, and some of the keywords have synonyms or in case of taxonomy, common and latin names separeted by " ;"
I imported the keyword list into LR and also selected the option to import the xmp along with the files. The problem is that LR is now creating a new keyword for every word I have in the list!
I think one of the issues is that ";" is an illegal caracter in LR, but I'm not sure how to fix it without having to rewrite the entire thing. Also, is this the only issue?
Changing the keyword list only will not fix it because I have thousands of images with these keywords already, and it would be impossible to redo them all.
My plan is to fix this and delete everything from the catalog before I import the files again.
I just exported a large batch of images sized for submission to Alamy. I had the images that were created by the export, imported back into Lightroom.
The problem. All the keyword synonyms that were exported in the images, created new stand alone keywords in the keyword list - bad.
I had all my keywords nicely organized into 12 neat groups. Now I have a couple of hundred top level keywords because of the synonyms.
Can this be prevented?
I have over 60,000 assets that I need to export from Cumulus. All of the keywords have been added in Cumulus. How do I export these assets from Cumulus in order for the keywords to be acknowledged when imported into Lightroom?

View 5 Replies View RelatedLightroom 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)?

I have been adding keywords to my files via File>File Info> and then entering keywords in the keywords box. I then have been 'Saving for the web' as a jpg file. When I go to open the saved file the keywords are gone. What am I doing wrong?
My goal is to increase my search engine organic rankings for the specific keywords. Is there a better way to go about it with images? Is it even worth doing for product images?
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 added Keywords to many jpg files when I should have added them to their scanned source files (tifs). Is there an efficient way to copy them from the jpg versions to their tif “originals?” Except for the suffixes, they are identically named. I know the keywords assigned to any one jpg can be dragged to its tif version (or to any any other image file).
But I have about nine thousand of them, each with its own set of keywords, and each with its own tif source file (with no keywords). Is there a way to automate this transfer en mass? Is there a way to tell the jpgs to transfer their keyword metadata to other files with the same names (minus prefix) or to any other files?

I am using Photoshop CS2 in WinXP.
I'm working through Scott Kelby's book on photoshop for digital photographers with a group of scrapbookers and am stuck in the bridge chapters. I would like to assign keywords to png files. Is there any way to do this? If I try to assign a keyword, my error message is that there is no metadata. One person in the group says she can assign a keyword to a png format.

Bridge is loosing images with keywords. After purging the cache and running a search all images return. However, this does not retain the images. I have seen the images disappear while watching the screen. Subsequent searches only retains a few of the hundreds of images with the keyword.
I have also removed and re-installed Bridge to no avail. I also believe I have the latest updates?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 issues:
1) I have purchased a new computer and wish to move/copy/export all my photo's along with their Keywords & Tags to the new computer.
2) In doing the above will the pictures re-locate to the new computer in one directory or keep the same directory and sub-directories in tack? I have been saving my Pic's in a directory called: Pictures > Then by Year > Then by Month.
Moving the pictures from the old computer to new one is not the problem. It is maintaining the Directory Tree along with moving the Keywords and Tags.
Currently over 3,500 photos that I would rather not have to re-tag.
I created a new Metadata template and left those fields blank. (only kept the copyright field the same)
I selected the test images and applied the new template but the old info wont leave. any ideas appreciated. thanks.
(made another template with word NONE, in all fields I want blank. If I apply that new template within PS and then save the file, it will overwrite the old info, but within Bridge, if I apply the new template, Bridge will not overwrite anything -- only add new info. This will be real cumbersome to make action on thousands of images. any way to get Bridge to do this right?
My computer had to be reformatted with the operating system re-loaded (Vista). I reloaded PE 10 and then moved my saved photos back into the software. the problem is that all of my tags (various family and friends) seem to have disappeared completely from the Organizer as has an album I painstakingly set up. I have all the photos, but a subset of them are not organized into the album I created.
Is there any way to get back my tags (the categories aren't even showing in Organizer and the photos aren't tagged) and to get back my album?
In previous PSE-versions there was a small ticker next to each keyword to multiselect persons into a search.
This is gone, and I see no such functionality in "Peeople". It would be nice to have "People" among the keywords as well to in this way quick-search people and other keywords.
I have just started to embed keywords on the file info on images that I am submitting for sale. I cannot seem to copy and paste and have to type keywords repeatedly on each image.
