    Reorganizing keywords--capture date messed up

    I've been undertaking a long-postponed task of reorganizing my keywords into a hierarchy. It's a pain, as I expected. What I didn't expect is that when I move a keyword into a new place in the hierarchy, the "capture date" shown in the Metadata panel on the right side of LR will occasionally...

    Is there documentation on the various choices for keywords in Smart Collections?

    I read a really good thread here that discussed that a space is considered an "OR" in a multiword-keyword and how that can bite you because you'll get images returned that have the any of the individual words. ....but it would be nice to see all the choices in the smart collection environment...

    Help!

    Due to being laid off, I am trimming my budget wherever I can. Lightroom Classic 11.4 for Windows is one of the casualties. Nearly all of my images are DNG. How can I ensure that all of the pictures retain their keywords when I export/save them as DNG? I have until July 20th before my plan...

    LrC and LR synching woes

    Great original content, great forum, thank you, Victoria. I feel I have wasted too much time trying to find answers on my own or going to the semi-official Adobe support forum. I see that there is an LrC and an LR subforums. There should be one for "Trying to live in LrC and LR at once and...

    Can't find a keyword hierarchy option

    Hi all! I recall recently selecting a keyword option so that everything within a keyword hierarchy (ie, all the sub-levels) shows when searching the keyword list - not just the keywords from the search. It's been really handy whilst organising my hierarchies better. However, I'd like to...

    Keyword list exporting and importing in LRC

    I spent many hours cleaning up my keywords and building a new hierarchy. I accidentally applied a 4 star rating to all 105,000 photos. This wiped out years of work. Unfortunately I backed up my LRC before I realized what I had done. I could not undo the star ratings. I have a previous...

    A keyword bug?

    Hello all: I've noticed for some time a strange keyword. "Exercise" shows up all over the place, even though it's not in my keyword list. Also, it sucks up other keywords and nests them under it. When I click on a image and see Alcatraz<exercise, there are no check marks next to anything but...

    Library module Face Recognition and Keywords - In a pickle

    I have got into a bit of a pickle with peoples names and keywords. I have read elsewhere of Lightroom 'hijacking' a keyword to use it as a People keyword. In the people module I have 2052 images identified as my son. The keyword of my sons name has 2137 identified images. I have found that I...

    Keyword Hierarchy - which is correct?

    I've recently returned to Lightroom, having wasted so much time believing Media Pro / Capture One would be better - it isn't! However, it did allow me to sort out some of the organisational mess I'd previously created. But now I see a problem and hope someone can shed some light on this...
