• Need help with reading metadata catalog using API

  Friends,

  I try to read metadata from the catalog using API but without success.

• Import the preset metadata xmp information

  Hi, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about Lightroom. I began to use it to change my photos and would like to ask about the metadata presets that you can use. I have a few clients who send me captions for the events in xmp format. Is it possible to import in the metadata presets and apply them to a whole bunch of pictures rather than having to manually enter the information? I know that you can make a selection and save it, but that means having to leave every time. Is it possible to import the information they send me directly in these presets?

  I can import the xmp files in photoshop, but that means having to enter each individual photo and import files.

  Any advice you can give would be great.

  Thanks in advance

  I have a few clients who send me captions for the events in xmp format.

  If they are indeed just send you captions, a simple method is:

  1. modify the XMP file in a text editor, such as Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on a Mac.

  2. copy the legend.

  3. in LR, select all the photos that the legend must be applied.

  4. in the metadata Panel on the right side of the library, paste the legend of step 2 in the area of the legend.

  Only if there is more than one field that must be defined for each photo (title, caption and task identifier, for example) it would be beneficial to apply the model of XMP in Bridge or PS and then import the image in LR.  Post an example of XMP file would be specified which fields are defined.

• Copy and paste files information metadata author information?

  I format multiple files of a database online and want to copy the information from the author of the metadata in the file Info field and paste it on the photo itself. It will be a watermark. I want to do it in batches.

  If anyone can help me with a script for this, I'd be much abliged.

  Thank you!

  I was missing a pair of brackets in my post "flatten"; cause should have flatten(); to add additional text, you can just concat to the end of string.

  var docWidth = width;

  var docHeight = height;

  var thisAuthor = info.author;

  var nameLayer = artLayers.add)

  nameLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT

  nameLayer.textItem.contents = thisAuthor + "/ Getty Images;

• Export of Presets to a metadata catalog

  I would like to be able to use the metadata presets that are on my desk on my laptop.

  When I export catalog, metadata presets are not included.  I can copy the Lightroom settings to the new catalog and metadata presets appear when I opened the new catalog on my desktop.  However, if I transfer the catalog and presets copied on my laptop, the presets do not appear on the laptop.

  Any suggestions on how to get the presets to appear on my laptop?

  In preferences, click presets, and then to show Lightroom Presets folder. The Presets are in a folder called metadata Presets. Copy these on the laptop, using the same steps to join the Presets for metadata on the laptop.

• DNG files, metadata and catalog

  Hello I currently have LR2.7 64-bit running on W7 64 bit. My camera captures native DNG (Leica M9). I import via "Convert to DNG and add to the catalogue" worth compression without loss for files when importing (for copy and extra copy on external hard drive). I prefer not to rename files on import as my first sorting level is contiguous numbering of all original.

  I'm little upgrade to LR3, however I'm waiting for the resolution of the problems reported with the catalog updates. My plan is to first import the images to the laptop when traveling and important copies to my desktop, a first action to return. I understand that there may be issues of import and export of catalog files on both machines currently duplicate with. I prefer a lot to keep multiple copies on computers apart until I swallowed the files in my normal diet at home.

  I'm looking options to avoid rebuilding a catalog, if something is not bad. I prefer to keep initial develop information, Keywords, changes of ratings made on the laptop.

  I understand that the development parameters are stored in the DNG itself rather than in a file. I'm not sure just where each type of information is stored, which is listed in the file and in the lrcat file. I understand that previews are inconsequential, because I need to be updated in any case those who, after the changes.

  So specifically, if I just copy the DNG files after my initial changes on the laptop with the main machine, what information willl be kept and who will be lost if I throw the laptop catalog to reduce to nothing all the problems with import/export?

  Development settings?

  Keywords?

  Ratings/labels?

  I have the ability to import via CS5 on both machines but try to optimize my use of LR for as many functions as possible.

  Develop settings are the final position of the sliders in the develop module. With this information, Lightroom can make the photo with your changes. You do not lose this information if you write to XMP and then reimport into Lightroom.

  Develop the story is the sequence of steps that you followed to reach the final position. You lose that when you write to XMP and then reimport into Lightroom.

  I guess I don't understand the point of the exercise (unless it's purely an educational exercise). If you export in the catalog, and then import from catalog, something that Lightroom is very easy to do, you don't lose any of the catalog information.

  So, you have at your disposal, a method that retains all the information catalog; and a method that doesn't work. Which one will you use?

• upgraded to pse 14 but I don't want to lose structure files or metadata within the PES 11

  I am considering upgrading from PSE11 to PSE14.  I intend to buy the normal via Amazon rather than the upgrade version because the full version is cheaper.  However, I don't want to lose my folder/file and metadata structure (for those photos where I forgot to save the metadata in the files - I don't know what are those who are).  What is the best way to replace the PES 11 with PSE14 without doing any damage or loss of information, please?

  Nothing special to do.

  If you install PSE14 on the same computer, your file/folder structure cannot be changed at all: the catalogues contain no files, only links to their location.

  In the installation process, you will be asked to 'convert' the current catalog of version 11 to 14. A new catalog will be created with the same name as before, with all kept, tags, captions, etc.

  You don't need to write metadata in files: version 11 catalogs information is preserved.

  Two different situations:

  -you install PSE14 in another computer: use the backup/restore process: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html

  -Old catalogues are no longer available, only the photo files: then you re-import your files, and Yes, if you did not write metadata to the files, you cannot recover them. Even if you wrote them, you can retrieve tags, notes, notes and legends, but no batteries, sets of version or creations.

  Note: If you don't know which files are missing "written metadata", you can select all and run this command again. Just need some patience.

• What does it mean to 'Include develop settings inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files metadata?

  I wonder what the option ' include develop settings inside the JPE metadata . G, TIFF, and PSD files"in settings/metadata catalog done?  What happens if you uncheck the box?

  Bob12312321 wrote:

  also when this is unchecked lightroom always will record keyword changes to raw (nef) files?  Thank you!

  Metadata (metadata 'real' like keyowords or develop adjustments) are never saved in Raw DNG files (like .nef, .cr2) directly. With these files, there is always a file called (with the .xmp extension) created to contain the XMP information.

  And Yes, if the option is disabled, LR record key words on the XMP sidecar, when you 'Write to the metadata file' or have the autowrite option active.

• Catalog backup problem

  Save my catalog takes hours... An incremental save after adding just 1 foto has taken more than 1/2 hour. That's why I want to use Acronis that is much faster. I save the photos and I have record catalog information. It would be OK if I save c/programs/adobe for the catalog?

  captain_db wrote:

  You mean: save your catalogue and your image folders tree takes hours. Yes, it's time to write a copy of everything to a new location. It takes about the same time the first time you do this "backup" with all software, including Acronis (I use Acronis). Incremental backups in the items are not very fast.

  That's why I want to use Acronis that is much faster. I save the photos and I have record catalog information.

  The catalog information is stored in a folder of catalogue (with the name of the catalog). Use the Help menu > information system to find its location and its size. It is by default in a folder in the Windows Explorer, so you will need to "show the hidden files and folders". Because the catalog does not contain file image, its size is small enough to be copied or backed up very quickly. You can do this from the Explorer or, why not, by Acronis.

  It would be OK if I save c/programs/adobe for the catalog?

  The main purpose and the advantage of Acronis is that it can restore an entire disk, including the main one with Windows and your training programs to another disk in the case of migration of crash or computer drive. I do full backups in Acronis at intervals. It is a comprehensive solution, not only a solution for my photos, catalogues and library.

  You can also selectively, use Acronis backup folders, disks or partitions.

  The big advantage of the backup/restore of the Organizer, is that it can restore catalogue and the library to another drive or computer, while keeping the links in the catalog to the new location of the files restored photo. If you library and backup separately catalog file and restore to a new drive or a computer with a different backup system, the links will be lost, and all the files are displayed as "missing" or "disconnected". The backup of the Organizer also invites you to convert the catalog to a new format of version if necessary. If you use Acronis as a utility "clone", your readers will be restored completely with all of your other programs and data, no problem to reconnect, but it will be not much faster.

  If you want a backup strategy to be able to save a lot of time (which means more security...), you can use several methods together like me.

  -J' using the Windows 'Syntoy"tool to sync my library and my catalogs on an external drive. Once the first synchronization is performed, the update after an editing session is extremely fast. Who does not update the links in the catalog, but it is fine if I "sync back" to the original disk even.

  -At intervals and when I know I have to migrate to another drive or computer, I do a full backup of the Organizer.

  -Intervals, when I have the time, or after you install new software, I also create full backups of Acronis; which saves everything, but that takes time. This is the solution for all my programs and data, not only for my library and catalogues.

  Edit:

  Who does not update the links in the catalog

  I mean that if I restore it on the same drive, the links will be kept, but if I restore on a new drive or the computer, the links in the catalogue art always the old drive...

• How can I move my catalog LR CC from a PC to a MAC?

  I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I was using a PC.  I have a subscription to CC LR and Psalm what steps should I take to make a successful migration and not lose my catalog information?  I don't want to lose one of my presets that I bought and I don't want to lose the work that I've done previously in LR.

  Please see the following article, it should be useful: catalog Lightroom FAQ

  That the article fails a lot of important information about how to move your photos, presets and plugins.  See this article for a more complete guide to move it to a new computer: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/

• Where PSE Organizer 12 does not store the files in the catalog?

  Where is the default location for the catalog of PES 12 files Organizer?  What are the names of the files that make up the catalog information?

  Bill Junk says:

  Where is the default location for the catalog of PES 12 files Organizer?  What are the names of the files that make up the catalog information?

  In all versions of items, you will find the location of the current catalog with the Help menu file > system information.

  You may need to allow the properties of Windows Explorer to "Show hidden files", given that the catalogues of the default location is hidden by default.

  Each catalog is a folder that contains subfolders and different files.

  The most important of them is the, an sqlite database that we, called catalog.pse12db for PSE12.

  Another important element is the thumb.5.cache which stores the thumbnails.

  Catalogs differ with each version of elements.

• Catalog or collection?

  I have Lightroom CC on my desktop and laptop.  The Office being my primary catalog.  I want to spend some pictures, about a year's worth, to my laptop to work on a book.  I would create a new catalog, either a collection?  Also, because the photos I want to use were imported from opening, I don't think that it won't let me export a new catalog.

  I recommend any workflow that involves images of export followed by import images.

  The workflow that I recommend (and the one recommended by John Beardsworth above) are export in the catalog, and then import from another catalog. Because of this, if you need to perform additional editing on the image, work of the original and not from and exported copy. Using the approach of catalog, you keep also information catalog; If you export the images, some catalog information won't go along for the ride.

• Bridge: Why can't add metadata to the gif and pct files?

  Don't know what the question is here with Adobe Bridge and gif and pct, but the bridge will not let me add metadata or keywords.

  With key words, Bridge displays a window saying that pct and gif files cannot add xmp metadata.

  Is there something that I am missing in my settings? Or should I just go ahead and convert all my files gif and pct in format JPEG, TIFF or psd.

  GIF is an old format I doubt you can write non-graphical metadata from information for files to gif format: metadata exif, keywords, itpc and others that is used with tiff and jpeg files did not appear in the standard for the CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (gif) format. .   .

• Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, recovered the photos through Carbonite, but can't find the catalog, please help...

  I have tried everything I know, but cannot locate the catalog I don't know where he is or what he would be called or what carbonite would call it. In addition, the photos aren't in the 'same' place. I have more 22 000 photos and that you can't imagine trying to re-catalogue. This is my life, and of course, I need something immediately to a family funeral. To do not too dramatic... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Photoshop Elements

  Photoshop Extended uses no catalogues.  But I'm guessing that your catalog information was contained in a data or xml file.

• Import of catalogue - metadata

  Hello

  I exported a bunch of images in the catalog on my desktop PC. On my laptop, I import that catalog into an existing catalog.

  So far, as expected. However, on all images I added in this way, I get a warning from metadata. I did not write metadata in xmp on my laptop or desktop. If I told you to fix the problem, she writes a xmp.

  To my knowledge he must simply store the metadata for the catalog and do not ask to write an xmp otherwise defined in preferences.

  What did I miss?

  Thank you

  McL

  BTW: I'm on 5.4 on Win7

  If the metadata warning badge, the arrow is pointing down, then it isn't really a problem to fix. Because you write automatically XMP, as soon as a metadata change is made to an image metadata status would then become "metadata catalog Lightroom are more recent than the original file, which is just what you said a badge.

  For users who have the autowrite to XMP option enabled in the settings of the catalogue, this warning should not be considered as the catalog and metadata of the file must always be in harmony. For users who do NOT have autowrite to XMP enabled. but who do not like to manually save metadata via the command Ctrl + S, this indicator of status of metadata is a useful way for them to determine that the metadata has been updated and that they should do that Ctrl + S.

  For users like me who never write XMP in their files, or open their files in other programs outside of Lightroom, this warning is redundant. Fortunately Lightroom allows to disable this WARNING badge Display Options menu, which is what I'm doing...

  Then maybe you simply have the Option to display defined differently on two systems?
