Is there a downside to Lightroom to synchronize metadata with Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw?

It seems to me that this is something you want to do if you want to use the bridge, but it is not set by default so I wonder why.  Diminishes anyway Lightroom in?  Changes to my pictures are always not destructive?

According to the Adobe Help article.

"By default, Lightroom metadata are stored in the catalog file. Camera Raw, Photoshop, and Adobe Bridge display changes to Lightroom metadata, including development module adjustment settings, metadata changes must be saved in XMP in Lightroom. When you save metadata to a raw file, the changes are saved in an XMP file. With other types of file, metadata are stored in the file itself. "Lightroom help | Advanced metadata actions


Adobe is trying to say that if I chose to synchronize metadata - Lightroom will save it is no longer in the catalog?


Thanks for the help.  I don't want to change a setting and then 1000 photos later know that there is an unintended consequence.

Adobe is trying to say that if I chose to synchronize metadata - Lightroom will save it is no longer in the catalog?

I doubt it, the metadata created in Lightroom (including the metadata created by synchronizing metadata or sync settings) are ALWAYS saved in the catalog file. You can not disable this option. Optionally, you can tell Lightroom to save XMP metadata

  • Curious question about previews of Lightroom and Camera Raw Cache

    Posted in the Flickr Lightroom group as well:

    I noticed something on the previews of Lightroom (3.6) and cache Camera Raw, intrigued me.

    I create a new, empty catalog, and purge the Cache of Camera Raw.

    Then I import ONE Nikon (NEF) RAW file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 mega pixels - 10,036,224).

    Then I export this NEF file to a TIFF 8-bit file uncompressed. You can expect this file size TIFF about 30 MB (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is size of 30,135,830 bytes. If you export the TIFF file same ZIP compression to specify the size of the resulting file is 10,834,038 bytes. The compression achieved here is obviously going to be highly specific to the image, but so far no surprises.

    When you import I said make 1:1 previews and I spend in the Loupe and see the whole picture in the format 1:1. I also visit the development module and do a lot of manipulation on the image but not cropping.

    At the conclusion of all this, I got out of Lightroom and examine file camera Raw Cache as well as previews of Lightroom file size. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a complete image rendering and Camera Raw Cache should also have a display form of raw data. What do you expect the size of these respective folders to be?

    Indeed - in my tests that the previews folder totals a simple 1 675 264 bytes and Camera Raw Cache that contains an image DAT file cached one is simply 267 374 bytes. This doesn't seem like enough bits to preserve the image rendered, nor there at - it an image is full-size, nestled in the actual catalog - the file is not large enough to hold that. And yet I can use the magnifying glass to the format 1:1 mode and move an image to the image without loading delays (even when you import multiple files).

    I wonder if I missed something obvious in my analysis and that, if someone might not care to speculate on what magic Adobe's practice here. Even if grant us them special algorithms to compress their insights that I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much larger than the file ZIP compressed TIFF realizes.

    And for those who might think to ask - I have told these experiences with multiple raw images and on MAC or PC platforms.

    I look forward to answers or interesting theories or maybe someone could reproduce the results of the experiment and report.

    The previews in the preview cache are JPEG files. JPEG compression is much more effective than the lossless zip compression. No magic here.

    Mr. Chan is obviously the expert on regards to the Camera Raw Cache.

  • Lightroom is really better than a bridge and ACR?

    I use Bridge and ACR for years. I have been turned off to learning Lightroom, but feel I can do is not so much because it seems the standard for photo editing.

    So I sat down and tried to understand, and it was a pain in my butt. I guess that's just the learning curve, but it is not as simple as I thought it would be.

    Is it really that much better than ACR and bridge? Should I even waste my time to learn?

    If you have a good Bridge/ACR workflow then technically has no interest that Lightroom if you compare editing capabilities. Lightroom and Camera Raw have both share the same raw processing engine. You can get the same results of both programs. I switched to Lightroom years because I just love some of the things in the interface is better I like to work with Camera Raw. But it's my choice. I take no sides of the cataloging features as much as I can in Lightroom. I use it mainly for the develop module features. And I want to print from Lightroom as well. I don't think you should feel loose or lower when you talk to other photographers, just because you use Camera Raw and Bridge. Tools can give identical results. It's mostly a matter of choosing which is best for you.

  • I use Lightroom 4.4, I recently downloaded the last Camera Raw update, 8.8.  It will work with LR 4.4?

    I recently downloaded the last Camera Raw update, 8.8.  It will work with LR 4.4?  My current Camera Raw plugin does not recognize my new Canon 100-400 mm.

    There is no version of Camera Raw that will work with any version of Lightroom – Lightroom does not use plug in Camera Raw. It is an update of the Lightroom program in order to receive these updates.

  • Lightroom adjustment brush not no projection in Photoshop Camera Raw

    I hope someone can answer this for me please

    I prefer to do my editing RAW in Lightroom (it's just the way I like to do it), but now I want to send the image in photoshop to create a poster with the same image.  So I open up Photoshop and then choose Place embedded in the file menu.  The Adobe Camera Raw 8.6 dialog opens and I expect to see all my development settings the same as the brushes set, but for some reason, the brushes are not displayed?

    Why is this and is there a way to fix it simply?

    Thank you very much

    Alex

    You can open the file in photoshop as a smart object from lightroom.

    Or in lightroom, you can go to Photo > save metadata to file, which, I believe, replaces the original xmp file if you already have

    Open in photoshop camera raw, or creates a new xmp file in the same folder as the camera raw file.

    Anyway, when you place incorporated into photoshop settings adjustment brush should be there.

  • Problem with Lightroom and Camera Raw

    I can't really make any sense out of Camera raw and other adobe products.

    I have Lightroom 2.4, and if I click on the option 'a way', I said I have camera raw 5.4. However, I have no installed DCP files and therefore no options of calibration of the camera. All I see is "incorporated".

    Are also installed in Photoshop Elements 7 (Camera Raw 4.5.0.175), first Elements 7 & Photoshop CS3 (Camera Raw 4.0).

    I'm not an expert in the present, and I find the instructions on the site of adobe completely confused and hopeless.

    I if advance is no reference to how to get a CR to my Lightroom update. I found 4.6 for CS3 that I understand I SLES later, but I just can't find how to get the camera profiles installed from an update.  If anyone can help.

    Thank you

    Colin

    There is no Camera Raw to Lightroom update!  Lightroom does not use plug in Camera Raw.  All these features are part of the Lightroom program.  The profiles should be installed when you installed Lightroom 2.4.  When you see "Embedded", which indicates that you are working on a JPEG image.  You work on a raw image in order to see other profiles for your camera.

    What device do you have? Some devices did not have a lot of different profiles.  When you open a raw image in Lightroom, you are able to see the different profiles?

  • HELP, I tried for three days to get my Lightroom to read my a G3X Canon RAW files.   I have Lightroom version 5.71 with version 13.0.1 with control 9.1.1 Raw plugin Photoshop and Camera Raw 8.7.1

    HELP, I tried for three days to get my Lightroom to read my a G3X Canon RAW files.   I have version 5.71 with Camera Raw 8.7.1 Lightroom and Photoshop version 13.0.1 with plugin Raw control 9.1.1 no Adobe seems interested to help me.  I have spent a lot of money on CS6, but since you walked toward the Cloud CC you neglected thin clients I.   Please, Please HELP.

    [removed phone number by...] MOD]

    Hi Ken graves,

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

    The minimum version of camera for Canon G3 X access files is 9.1.1 However, last camera raw update for Lightroom 5.7.1 was 8.7.1.

    Thus, you would not be able to access these raw files in Lightroom.

    For Lightroom, you can switch to Lightroom 6 or download DNG Converter to convert these images to DNG and then access in Lightroom.

    For Photoshop CS6, you should be able to access raw Canon G3 X images as CS6 version supports them.

    Make sure all your plugin for Photoshop CS6 camera raw.

    You can upgrade from this link: Camera Raw of Adobe Photoshop CC and CS6 Installer

    Kind regards

  • 6.1.1 Lightroom, Photoshop CC and Camera raw

    Hello

    I use Lightroom 6.1.1 on a MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite 10.10.5).)

    I upgraded Lightroom 6.2.1, it was a disaster and I'll be back soon to 6.1.1!

    I would like to install the trial version of Photoshop.

    It would obviously be the current CC in Photoshop?

    I wonder if any problem can occur, in regard to the Camera raw is concerned: LR and PS will work with the same installation of Camera Raw? I mean, LR works with its own installation of Camera Raw, or not? And if Lightroom and Photoshop work with the same Camera Raw installation, is the current version (installed with the current version of the CC PS)-compatible Camera Raw with Lightroom 6.1.1?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Daniel.

    Lightroom and Photoshop do not share the Camera Raw plug-in. The Camera Raw code used by Lightroom is cooked in Lightroom.

    Using the most recent PS and ACR will not be a problem as long as you don't try to use cameras not supported by LR 6.1.1.

  • I was wondering if there were other problems with Adobe CC and the last IOS El captain?

    I've recently updated to IOS Yosemite to El Capitan, when I went to launch Premiere Pro for the first time, there were a few very visible differences of how things went, if not, the program has worked very well.

    Thinking that this might just be a problem after installing just El Capitan, I thought that a reboot would clear things up. When I went to restart, I could not go beyond the initial start-up of the grey Apple screen, I ended up having to wipe the drive and reinstall El Capitan, nd, then migrate my data from my backup of TM, what a shot, it took hours to complete.

    Anyone else having similar problems? Anyone know when Adobe get out their CC to CE upgrade?

    I don't know about Apple (I'm on Windows), but I read that Microsoft has a way to restore the previous operating system if an upgrade to Win10 does not work

    I don't want to know about it, because my Win8.1 works with all my current software... I have read Win10 problems with the software that I have now, so I will NOT go to Win10

    If Apple does not offer a way back to the BONE you had before, I think you're stuck with problems until 'the 3rd party vendors' make changes to work with El Capitan

    And, if you do a "time machine" backup before the upgrade, be aware that TM backups do NOT work with Adobe because of... hidden folders software then you would need to uninstall and reinstall

    And just so you know, Microsoft has also problems with Mac 10.11 El Capitan
