Import from iPhoto - Meta-data missing?

I am importing photos from iPhoto in pictures, but it seems that most of the metadata is not transferred.

The process is to select the file-> import in pictures, select the pictures at the bottom of the left sidebar in the dialog box, choose iPhoto-> events and select an event for import.

Transfer photos, and that they retain their location data. But the descriptions, tags, and faces are lost.

Photos had imported the entire iPhoto library originally, but there were a few problems with former segments of the library. (I have not been able to correct some problems, so I am looking to re - import an event at a time, for a couple to organize the reasons and then delete the duplicates) In this import, all the metadata has been chosen. So, it seems possible to import it. But it does not work in this case.

The media browser does not give you the metadata - select photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder by checking the boxes of metadata you want in the export dialog - export from iPhoto - and then import these images into pictures

And you never import an iPhoto photo library - you migrate and migration keeps metadata - you only import pictures of libraries

  • Lightroom: Time to Capture for videos imported from iphoto does not appear in the metadata

    Hi, I imported all my photos and videos from iphoto to Lightroom recently with iphoto import plugin.  I think that all my photos have been imported, but I noticed that all my videos have no capture time, while they became grouped in my collections.  But I think that I can still see their capture time in the 'gray' text on each photo.  Why did this happen and how to solve this problem?  I really want my time to capture in video metadata, and I also want to see my videos in chronological order on the right with my videos.   Strangely, the videos imported into Lightroom directly from my camera SD card do not have this problem, don't do that those imported from iphoto.  Thank you!

    LR does not correctly manage video metadata in general, and in particular, he often misses capture time.  Sometimes it works: choose a video, make metadata > edit Capture time and then click all change (without actually modifying the corrected time).  If that sets the time of capture at the right time, you can select all the videos of problem, metadata > edit Capture time, and then click all change.   If you have a small number of videos, you can manually fix the capture time to help change the Capture time.

  • Comments on missing photos after photo import from iphoto library

    I use iphoto extensively for my company and I recently updated my OS to El Capitan and discovered that it didn't work anymore.  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

    So I tried to go to the pictures.  I started the pictures and it prompted me to import my iphoto library, which is about 70 gigabytes.  Import ran for a long time and all images now appear in the Photos, but there is a problem.

    Before the upgrade, when I downloaded photos in iPhoto, they went to a group and have been dated from and prepared accordingly. But I would add notes and/or descriptions so that when I entered a search for specific photos, they came to the top and I didn't need dates. Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone. Do you know if they're hiding, or if we can find them? Otherwise I have no idea where the first photos are and I have to visually through the 22 000 photos.

    If not, is there a way to return to iphoto for El Capitan?

    There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

    Apple sells iPhoto, is more then the tab update of the AppStore works is no longer.  You can update only by reinstalling, see user tip Barney:   cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

    Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone.

    Are the descriptions of the events?  If you open the sidebar with the albums, (enter the ⌥⌘S - command-option-S key combination), you will see a folder iPhoto events.  It will be an album for each of your events.

  • How to keep the titles and names of events when importing from iPhoto?

    I have 17,000 photos and you want to migrate from iPhoto to LR. Some of them have titles I assigned in iPhoto. Other events, which I'd love to keep the names. This information is really important for me, because it contains a lot of travel since the origins of the photos.

    I already tried import with the CAP, folders and albums are perfectly converted to collections.

    Is not that someone has an idea what to do, maybe before hand in iPhoto to keep information?

    Any hint is appreciated!

    I had assumed that iPhoto metadata has been imported as with info opening panel that corresponds to the IPTC data fields. The link below gives more information.

    Hi karim,.

    You must have chosen a location for the images to be copied to a certain place at the time of the import from iphoto.

    If you have chosen the location as your external hard drive, make sure that your external hard drive is connected to the machine.

    If you have some chose another location and moved the images to another location, then you need to move the images as a result of this article: How to find missing photos in Photoshop Lightroom

  • import from a hard drive on a mac

    I use LR5 for the first time on a free trial version. I am trying to import my photos from the hard drive on my mac. As soon as I clicked on import, then pictures he says no photos found. I have pictures and photos in iPhoto on my mac, but I can't locate interface LR5.

    You cannot directly import from iPhoto, using the Lightroom Import dialog box.

    I think that in versions of LR 5 prior to version 5.7, you would have to export photos from iPhoto first and then import into Lightroom.

    In LR 5.7 or later, LR 6 or Lightroom CC 2015, there is a built-in feature to import from iPhoto.

  • How to import photos from iPhoto to the Photos without losing the date structure

    Hey there,

    Today, I realized that not all my photos to the Macintosh iPhotos Photos last year. At this point, I'm missing about 700 photos.

    Is it possible to merge the iPhoto to the existing photo library library while keeping the structure of date? I tried just to drag some photos but they then imported as if they were taken today.

    If possible, I want to keep the date structure so that all the photos that were taken at the same time will remain together.

    Export images from iPhoto to the Finder, and then import them to Photos.

    File-> edit

    This trick of the user

    https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-4921

    a details of the options in the export dialog.

    Ignore the file date.

    There are two types of metadata involved considering the jpeg or other image file.

    One is the data file. That's what shows the Finder. That tells you nothing about the content of the file, just the file itself.

    The problem with the metadata file is that it is easy to change the file is moved from one place to another or exported, by electronic mail, downloaded, etc.

    Photographs have also obtained the Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera broken that the photo is saved in the Exif metadata. Without worrying if that said the date of the file, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.

    Applications of photo like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc. get their date and time of the Exif metadata.

    When you export from iPhoto to the new Finder file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The file date is reported - exactly - the date of export.

    However, does not change the Date of the Photo.

    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.

    Thus, your photo has the correct date and the file does, but these are different things. To perform a sort on the date of the Photo, you will need to use a photo app.

  • How to import existing images from iPhoto into LR4?

    Tutorial Adobe TV said to import existing images into LR4 using the 'Images' folder, but iPhoto does not use this place.  Import of iPhoto options are "grayed out".  How this is achieved without moving pictures from iPhoto to a Document file?  Who wouldn't be difficult, take forever and come outside iPhoto 'actuality' and any other file organization?  You have to move previously organized iPhoto images separately, that sounds like a real pain?  This indicates that the LR4 has all the features for Mac?  I know have used iPhoto seems stupid, but I could get away with it when booting with good shots of the camera.  In addition, as a photographer of long date to a lot of different subjects, I 4 700 photos in iPhoto, including 2,400 of several trips to Paris.  This number does NOT represent a problem to not remove the poor images: I run continuous/burst on shots of candid people, wildlife and sport, giving a little to a number of good and different frames per output.  Like many, I have also let customers choose among many, in addition to keep those I consider the best.  I also keep a lot in order to provide retailers with a good selection of what they want to do.  What should I do to transfer to iPhoto to LR, and how difficult and tedious might?

    Hi Tim,.

    4. what still bothers me, is that I am doubling of the amount of space that I use if I pull every 185 gigabytes of photos dating back to 1998 iPhoto to LR.

    5. so my question is simpy is there a way of not having to create a whole new batch of thousands of photos so that LR can work with them? In addition to reading the posts, I see that someone said to make an alias in your iPhoto library and then rather off select copy select Add instead. This way you do not have a lot of extra space and only reference the photos already in the iPhoto library, which, in my case, has been moved to the larger HARD drive and player off the SDS drive which is my boot drive. I have not tried this yet, because I fear that my light room 4 catalog file is big and I'm back where I started. Is it possible to move my LR catalog file to my HARD drive instead of keeping it in my Pitctures folder in my user on my SSD drive folder?

    It makes no sense to manage your images in iPhoto both in LR.

    If you really want to, then Yes, it is advisable to double them, there will be no interference.

    Why not double them for now (on your hard drive, no SSD) and see later if you like LR enough to give up their iPhoto?

    You can place your catalog LR = *.lrcat file where you want to. Clicking it will open in LR. You can then select in the preferences to always open the last catalog, or more precisely of this catalogue, at the opening of LR.

    The catalog file will become too big. mine is about 1.5 GB for some 110'000 images.

    Which takes much more space is the folder with the previews that will create a LR. The amount depends on your tastes and your speed needs.

    I don't want to wait for "Loading"... "in the library module I dedicate some space in the folder of the previews (actually ca. 100 GB!), because I put the size of the preview wholesale in the dimensions in pixels for a big screen and high quality. This is because I use a laptop and want to be able to show images because of their preview when I travel, without having my originals available (they are on a NAS at home *).

    In terms of performance of LR, you benefit most if you put your lrcat file as well as the issue of previews (... Previews.lrdata) on your SSD, as it is advantageous to use the fast playback speed.

    Your actual image files can be stored on the hard drive, as LR is accessed less often.

    If you are not so much on the agility of LR, you can put everything on your hard drive.

    Separating his Previews.lrdata lrcat file - folder is not provided by Adobe, but possible - Victoria Bampton gives a work around for this in it "(la FAQ manquante pour Lightroom)." Then, of course, you renounce your SSD speed again access to / writing previews and just take the advantage of speed for the lrcat file.

    If you are very concerned about the storage space on your SSD, why not start with everything on your hard drive? So if you get impatient with LR response time, you know that the first tweak would be to the SSD of catalog + previews?
