import of keywords in Lightroom
I currently have thousands of images that have been downloaded on my computer and organized using ZoomBrowser EX. of Canon these images have keywords entered via ZoomBrowser. I am eager to start using Lightroom instead of organize all my images. The key words are copied on in Lightroom or do I have to enter all the keywords again when I switch to use Lightroom?
Thank you!
ZoomBrowser has long been known to its owner, inaccessible to other software database keywords and captions. At least, for several years, ZoomBrowser did not provide all means to save keywords and captions in fields of metadata standard of the industry within the photos, so that they could be read by other programs like LR.
I did a quick search, and it seems that it is always the case. I found this free utility to save keywords and captions on the metadata of photos: ZB save Meta - browse files on SourceForge.net I have no idea about the quality of the utility. I strongly advise that you check that your backups actually work before calling it.
If it works, then once you have saved the keywords to photos using the utility, LR will tell them when you import photos.

Write keywords as Lightroom hierarchy
When the mouse is enabled this option in the export window, it says that "this option... and ignore synonyms."
But, it does not ignore synonyms, synonym keywords are added to my list of keywords at the top level with the exported file.
What does '... ignore synonyms "means here?
LR always writes the keywords in the standard fields of industry IPTC:Keywords and XMP:Subject. If you select the option write keywords as Lightroom hierarchy, it will also write key words to the XMP:HierarchicalSubject of field specific to Adobe, but with the ancestors of each included keyword.
For example, I've defined the hierarchical keyword thing > car > BMW and BMW is synonymous with video-projector. If I export a photo with BMW entrusted to him, the exported photo will have these fields defined:
IPTC keywords: Thing, car, BMW, Beamer
About XMP: thing, car, BMW, Beamer
If I choose the option write keywords as Lightroom hierarchy, the photo will also be this field:
Hierarchical object XMP: thing. Car | BMW
The keyword BMW wrote hierarchically with all his ancestors. And note that synonymous with video-projector not be on that list.
I not boned specific rules of undocumented, but I believe that LR will import each keyword that appears in IPTC:Keywords and XMP:Subject as a top-level keyword in the LR catalog (including synonyms listed in these areas). But if the XMP:HierarchicalSubject field is present, LR which uses to match the keywords present in IPTC:Keywords and XMP:Subject with the hierarchy of the LR catalog, so they imported as top level keywords.
But given that XMP:HierarchicalSubject contains no synonyms, LR will always be important synonyms as keywords higher level. As discussed in another thread, I proposed a simple solution for this three years ago.

Export keywords in Lightroom 5 problem
I recently converted Lightroom 4 to 5. I just noticed that not all of my keywords are exported to my jpeg file. For example, I have the following keywords in Lightroom; Horizontal, landscape, national forest, Scenic. My exported jpeg only has the keyword landscape.
In the library Module, when I click on the drop down keywords and select "Will Export", I see that the keyword of the landscape. I don't know what this 'feature' is all about. Can someone explain it to me. I need to be able to export all keywords.
This problem seems to be consistent and I have a test set up file so I can repeat the problem. Only certain keywords are not exported.
I believe that the method to change things in the world is to export the key words in a text file and then using a text editor to remove the flag so they export not keyword, then re - import the text keyword in LR.
As I'm at work right now, I can't look at the details. If no one responds, I'll look it up when I get home.

How can I make keywords from Lightroom 2 to Lightroom CC 2015?
I just installed Lightroom CC 2015. How can I make all my keywords in Lightroom 2 and have them in my new version?
Tom Bowie
The key words are stored in the catalog. Just move the catalog and your words keys will always be there
OR
If you mean that you can export a list of keywords to a new catalogue - Yes - Menu in the menu bar metadata > export keywords

Since the last update when importing image directly in Lightroom, metadata display the correct focal length, but will not display any information from the lens, Lightroom reports only as 'unknown lens', the info from the lens is in the meta-data... When you change an image in LR in PS then save, lens Info appears as if by magic. This is a problem of workflow for those who could use multiple lenses on a shoot... What is the status on this issue? I shoot with Nikon D800... thnx ted-lens-metadata-field-missing-on-import?topic-reply-list[settings][filter_by]=company_promo https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/camera-raw-9-5-lens-information-aux I posted this on FB with LIGHTROOM page, they instructed me to send you. Needless to say that it is a huge problem for the workflow, and reduce my bright room isn't an option because whenever he do it takes two days to arrive, and I have no time to lose if I appreciate some type of response as soon as possible

Lightroom 5-7-1 and NIK Collection. I installed Nik Collection correctly. I followed the instructions from Adobe for importing the plugin in Lightroom. If I go to "photo" / "past to" (I use the Italian version, so I don't know if the translation functions and controls is correct!) happens that all plugins are visible but not active. And even the default plugins are no longer active. I have repeated several times the procedure installation, but without result. Can anyone help? Tiziana
You may need to do a manual install. See if this link helps:

import of openness to lightroom versions
I'm about to import my Aperture library in Lightroom. I read messages and watch videos YouTube, but all have dates, so I don't know how to update some are.
My big question is Lightroom recognizes now versions, adjustments, TIFF, etc. of Aperture?
If this is not the case, is there good instructions for a work around or import? I don't want to lose thousands of changes.
And, I have to install the Aperture import module? I have trouble finding, so I wonder if it is part of the latest version of Lightroom.
Aperture has a good video of the procedure to follow for the transfer, or is there a recommended video YouTube?
Thank you!
Roger
Hi Roger,
Opening import plugin is incorporated into Lightroom 5 update.
And it doesn't matter of changes of opening
You can see this FAQ: Opening Import plug-in for Lightroom FAQ
If you then want to changes, you can start with import these images from Aperture and how import in Lightroom.
Kind regards

Import of files in Lightroom 5
I would like to import photos into folders lightrooms retaining their original names. Or importation is carried out annually and does not keep the names of folders... I would like importing photos records in lightrooms retaining their original names. Or import is done annually and don't keep records of the not the names.
Another question: what is the exact effect of "copy"? The files are sorted in order of capture? What is the date used for sorting? the capture date or modification date? is it possible to influence this date in the file properties? For example, the raw files are sorted by date of capture, but the changed files do not refer to the same date.
Otherwise, what is the exact function of 'move '? I have imported 3 000 photos with "copy", and the whole tree hard disk is changed. How to find the original tree?
Last question: after corrections, some files on the hard drive does not contain all the images still present on the hard drive. I tried to import them without result. Can you tell me if there is a way to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
