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.

Trying to make sure my cllients do not have access to my shooting details. IE: shutter speed, F stop etc.
Â
I do not want to remove metadata individually as I have 100's of images to work with.
Â
Is there a one click method to doing this or a way to do it through batch process?
Â
It was mentioned on this forum that there's a 3rd party software but it's hard to believe that this cant be easily done in Photoshop.
Â
I'm running CS 4.
if there is any way of automatically appending metadata into images when i save them in Photoshop, i have a metadata file saved in Bridge and want that to be automatically appended into any file i save with Photoshop.
the metedata i want installed is my name and email address, just stuff that links the file to me, not Photoshop, although i dont want it to take anything out that it does allready when saving.
In PSE9, how do I set up the Downloader to apply my metadata templates on importing images from a card reader? Previously the Downloader dialog box included this option but my PSE9 Downloader dialog box does not.

I'm using Lightroom 4
How can I import images into a new LR library and retain the existing metadata for each image? It only seems possible to import and apply new metadata or to import without applying metadata which means the existing metadata is not imported...?

When I am in lightroom's library (3.5), I would like to change the time of capture for multiple photos, and apply keywords.
Â
However, when I perform either of those actions, the changes are only applied to the image shown in the "more brightly highlighted" image, not all that are selected.
Â
Is there a setting I am missing? I just cannot seem to figure out why this is not working.
Also, I aplogize if my searching skills are weak and this has been covered already. I did attempt to see if this question has been answered before posting.
I have one basic metadata preset that I apply to images after they have been imported. I've noticed that on a regular basis, every single image in my library loses its applied metadata preset and it reverts back to "none". For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening and I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature.
Â
My standard workflow is that after I import images, I select all the images in the new folder I have designated for those images and apply my specific metadata preset but it seems that a few days later or after I import new images, all metadata presets are gone again. I have noticed this issue with Lightroom 3 and again with Lightroom 4 after I have upgraded so I don't think it's related to a specific version.
I want to extract the metadata I have added to my images and export it into an Excel spreadsheet. Can this be done within LR4.4? If the software doesn't have a function for this is there another way to do it?

We often work remotely on a laptop, then come back to the studio and transfer images from a shoot to the main PC for further work. Some adjustments in Lightroom were done to some images in the folder already, as well as rating some of the best images. Â
Â
It seems the recommended way of copying images from a laptop to the main PC is to use the "Export as Catalog" function with the "Export negative files" option turned on. However, when working with hundreds of files, this process takes a very long time, and also duplicates the images on the same laptop in the export location. This doesn't work well when working with 50GB of files, especially when only a few of them have any Lightroom adjustments anyways.Â
Â
Is there a way to just copy the entire directory structure over to the main PC (copying files is fairly quick over Gigabit Ethernet), and then export only the metadata for the files (or catalog) over to the main PC so I can keep the adjustments?
Â
In other words, instead of having to do this:
1. Export as Catalog
2. Wait a very long time for the laptop to duplicate all the images and export files
3. Re-import this catalog to my Main catalog
4. Wait a very long time for this to happen
Â
It would be WAY faster to just do this:
1. Copy entire folder structure from laptop to main PC (this is quick)
2. Export metadata from these files only
3. Import metadata to new PC
why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a preference set up wrong.

Here is how I use filters. Select folders/SE:ECT drive letter where it shows number of images/turn on filters/select metadata/ use flat or hierarcy does not matter, select a date. No problem, all the images from the entire drive relating to a day display.Â
Â
PROBLEM - multiple images are displayed in grid or filmstrip. Search of the hard drive reveals those multiple images do not exist. Now what is the solution ? Metadata status ALWAYS displays image changed always. Status responds correctly when images are displayed - no problem there.
Â
When Catalog is selected as above, same results are obtained. Does not matter - raw data or processed images into JPEG.
Â
I can't express this problem any better - all the details are there. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I need the metadata filter to use dates.
Is 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.
Â
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 was working in LR 4 on Mac OS 10.8.4 when I suddenly saw the preview of an older jpg-file when moving the cursor over the image folders: The half of it was blurred. I moved into the folder to find the image and clicked another jpg file. Half of it turned blurred and somehow inverted as well, see here: [URL] .....
Â
I starred at it and in the library view more and more image turned this way. There was an icon next to the images, when I clicked it there was something like (translated): "metadata for this photo was changed by LR or another application. Should LR import the settings from the disk or overwrite the disk’s settings with those of the catalogue?"Â
Â
There was no new version of the file or something like this. All affected files are jpg files, some from an old smartphone and most from an EOS 5D MII.
As far as I can tell, Copy Metadata and Synchonize Metadata do the same thing. Is there a difference in what they do?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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?

View 1 Replies View Related- 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'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?
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.
I'm saving for web and want to preserve all metadata except camera info, but besides the camera info, it's not saving the description either. Is it right?
Actually, I only want to save copyright information, author, keywords and description, but there's not such option.
How do you remove metadata from an image using a MAC and cs6, also can you do this as a batch process for several images?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop CS6, when you save an open file to .psd, .tif, or .jpg, whatever metadata it contains is saved with the file, and you can examine it in Bridge. But when you save to .png, the metadata panel in Bridge is empty — there’s nothing there..Is this a bug or a feature?
