How to save the metadata to RAW files (and not externally. XMP file)

Hello

I would like to record metadata (for example key words) in the RAW files and not externally. XMP file.

How in Lightroom?

Thank you

Josh

PS: XMP is a file format (=. The XMP files) or a metadata format that can be incorporated into one. XMP file or in the raw itself?

You can not save the metadata directly in the raw file in Lightroom. You only can it save to a file, XMP - one text file with XMP as well as its file extension containing data that is written to the XMP format.

To avoid the sidecar files, plan to convert your raw files to DNG. Metadata is written to these files in XMP format, but inside the DNG format.

More clear?

  • How to save the string in a file with some special characters

    Hello

    I m using MD5 - llb to create a password.

    So, I want to save this MD5-string to a file and read it later abd compared again.

    Works perfectly with a proplem:

    Some Word create a '\r' in the string of MD5 and when I save this string in a file and read it at the time its read as a '\n' for the comparison does not work.

    My question is: How can I record a string exactly as if it were somewhere and read back (also the invisible characters)

    For example, the word: heinz

    is in MD5: \r\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95 (string as display codes indicator)

    When I save the string in a file, then I rerad back: \n\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95

    I used the "write text file" and "read text file".

    What should I use to record and play back the same thing?

  • Photo Downloader saves the backup in JPG format and not as original Raw files in Windows 10!

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 and re-installed the bridge.  Now, when I download my pictures with photo downloader "copies" are automatically converted to jpg files and not be registered as as before RAW files!  How to stop what's goingon.  I want to save a backup copy copy THOUGHT it was!  The only way to do it now, it seems that must do two downloads - what a loss of productivity at the time!

    Today everything is working normally again.  The copied files are all CR2 (Raw) files as before.  I have no explanation for what is different or why it happened differently the other day, at least I had one of my conversion programs running in the background by mistake.  Sorry if I confused anyone.

    It seems that this isn't a problem, after all, and it was just a mistake on my side.  Sorry people!

  • How to: save the image in multiple formats AND edit file names every time automatically?

    Hello!

    First of all, I hope I'm not opening a discussion that has already been asked/Treaty. a lot. I couldn't find a solution to my particular problem until now in the web and I hope someone can help me.

    I work with Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.

    My problem is: I work a lot with product photos (whole/collage of several elements) and I want to speed up the process-saving in multiple formats (JPEG and PNG, sometimes TIFF as well).

    The initial situation is: I have a main PSD file (to keep things clean and centralized) with several layers, each layer containing a different element. I need to check/uncheck layer visibility often, add/remove elements of collage to generate variants of game.

    With every change that I agree (very minor steps), I have to go to SAVE AS... (Shift + ctrl + s)-> SET a format (JPEG, PNG, TIFF)-> EDIT file name (according to whole-variation [e.g. "Assembly-set01_lightbulb" / "Assembly-set01_lightbulb_cable" /...]---> save.) Fact.

    And then REPEAT the steps together, define another format drop-down list, change the name of the file again (since the file original .psd remains without additions) and so on...

    This process could his insignificant, but for me, when it comes to the variations set, consumes a lot of time, in particular, by taking changes in layers is a matter of 2 clicks.

    So what I know: There is an option to automate the in some workflows. I can create an action, where hitting a predefined key, the original PSD is saved as JPEG and PNG. But that's all. No change of name of file or the destination can be performed (AFAIK).

    Now what I want: I want to hit a predefined key, SAVE as... context-window, JPEG (...) is defined by default as defined format, I can modify the file name and/or ideally choose another folder to save to (...). Press enter-> the file is saved in JPEG format with the file name and alternative way edited. A new RECORD under... context window appears, PNG (...) is defined as the default format defined, I can still ideally to change the file name and press ENTER to find:

    -the original (unchanged) PSD file,

    -a copy of this image to JPEG with file name changed (... _xxx.jpg) [in another folder path, if I wanted to.

    -a copy of this PNG image with file name changed (... _yyy.png) [so somewhere else if I wanted]

    All this with the push of a single button(-combination) and my entry to change the names of files.

    Is it possible? I hope that my request is understandable and you could understand, what I want to achieve. The process itself is quite simple, but I have too complex concepts on how I want to maximize my workflow.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    This is something impossible in Photoshop as if now that the process you are looking for is very personalized and can be reached only in Photoshop.

    The only way that you can save a JPEG and PNG file is by creating an action, and that's what you have already tried and does not give you an option to change the file name or destination location.

  • PES 10 organiser: How to save the catalog as a file?

    Hello

    I tried to back up my organizing catalog (only the database) without all the photos, just like I used to do in Lightroom (.lrcat). But somehow, it seems to work only with all content.

    Does anyone know an answer?

    Thank you very much

    Armin

    So that requires a simple copy - paste of your catalog to a safe folder, as pointed out by saurabh288 IE in help > System Info menu

  • How to make the high quality look smooth and not grainy photo?

    I uploaded a picture of my camera and when I change it on Photoshop, it seems pretty grainy.
    I'm doing an assignment for my photography class where I have to imitate the project of photographer and I chose this picture http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/_pinkpornstar_/1198725/322258/322258_original.jpg.

    However, once I took the picture, I have now is quite high in quality and import it in Photoshop, I can't find a way to make it more clear than "professional" photos out there!

    I know that if I Zoom, it becomes less grainy, but even after I record and zoom, the picture is still not as smooth as the one I aim.

    Is it because of the settings that I used while taking the photo?

    PS: Sorry for this fundamental issue, I'm a noob to this.

    JPEG quality is never (or not as high as possible). Shoot raw and process in Camera Raw, where you have total control over all other treatment and noise reduction settings.

    JPEGs are self-treated behind doors closed, highly compressed and throw large amounts of data.

  • Re: How to save the video file to a DVD-R for Equium A200

    I have the Equium A200. Someone can tell me how to save the video file to a DVD-R on my computer in order to use it later, or use it in windows movie maker and must not simply copy on another DVD-R right?

    My cursor also has disappered in the suite of windows media, that makes life quite difficult.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    You mean, you want to copy the original DVD movie to HARD drive?
    Well, you can copy the contents of the entire DVD to the HARD drive. It means that you have to copy a lot of data.
    I would recommend shrinking the DVD movies using a tool called DVD shrink.
    It would decrease the data and would also copy the content to the HARD drive.

    But if you want to use these files later in windows movie maker, so you must convert these using a 3rd party tool.
    Google a bit and you should find many free applications that would help you to do this work.

    Good bye

  • I have Adobe CS5.1 and must be able to open the Nikon NEF RAW files from my Nikon D4s... y at - there a downoad Adober website for this or how can I get the update to do?

    I have Adobe CS5.1 and must be able to open the Nikon NEF RAW files from my Nikon D4s... y at - there a downoad on the Adobe site for it or how can I get the update to do?

    Hi XDCAMAN,

    Photoshop requires at least version 8.4 of camera raw to be able to directly open these Nikon NEF D4S files which is available in Photoshop CS6 and above versions (not in CS5)

    Reference article: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices

    You can upgrade to a higher version of Photoshop or download Adobe DNG converter to convert raw files to DNG and access these DNG files in Photoshop CS5.

    Kind regards

    I am new to Adobe.  Have the .pdf file in Adobe Reader Xi and can open and see on my screen.  How to save the .pdf on my Flash Drive file: L?

    I would advise against ever record directly onto a flash drive. For no reason I can understand this often broken leaves files behind.

    Instead, just save it to your desktop and drag it to the usual flash drive (in Windows Explorer or the Finder).

  • How to save Lightroom metadata 4 on video files?

    Hello, I just had a problem with LR4.

    The full version of instaled a few days on my old computer. Just got a new computer which I instaled LR4 and imported all my latest work and noticed that all the metadata of the video (.mov) were not saved in files (pictures are OK!)

    So all editing and rating/flags/color filter I did disappeared.

    Thought I forgot to save the metadata on my old computer and did some tests.

    I did some side and some color filters on my real catalog then saved metadata a couple of times. Removed from the library and reimported and metadata were not there yet. Has done the same for Photos and is very good!

    Any guess?

    I do something wrong or LR4 does not write XMP of video files?

    Just lost hours of work at the cutting edge and rating a video work from my old computer was gone.

    Apreciate any help!

  • How to keep the metadata after Correct camera distortion filter?

    Hello

    Anyone know how to keep the metadata information after you have used the Correct camera distortion filter?

    In other words:

    When I need to correct the photo with good camera distortion to the menu Filter option I can't keep the metadata to the final table.

    After correction, I cut the useful part with the rectangular selection tool, and then I chose the file, new, Image to the Clipboard.

    Either the format file that I choose to save the metadata information has disappeared.

    I tried to export the metadata from File, FileInfo, information, and then import the metadata (XMP file) but no result.

    Someone at - it an idea to solve this issue

    Thank you

    This is probably because your using the Clipboard that discards the data.

    Try to crop your photo and recording. You can always cancel the harvest after saving if you want to do something in the photo.

  • How to prevent the creation of 15000 files for 300 MB each day Firefox

    Firefox creates files of 'file' in C:\Users\LeRicain\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dnm04rk5.default\cache2
    There are about 10,000 and 20,000 files I have to remove to get about 300 MB of space each day

    How to prevent the creation of these files in Firefox

    Here are the files from cache. Basically, it takes Web sites that access you a lot and records bits of them so they'll load faster the next time you visit them. FOR EXAMPLE if you visit Google.com much, Firefox will save some elements of this page in the cache so that the next time visit you Google.com, it will not have to re - download.
