    LR Transporter not offering Import function

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. I read that the LR Transporter Plugin allows you to update Metadata via a csv script so I installed it, donated to the project and registered it. So far no import option pops up. I have made sure that the plugin is in the correct plugin...

    Need to add date picture taken to JPGs need best option

    Hello many of my JPGs don’t have the date picture taken, I found a program to do this for me, with an incremental time stamp. But if I change the date in the Source files, I don’t think Lightroom will know unless I read the Metadata. If I change the published files, they could be overwritten...

    "metadata for this photo has been changed"

    I recently relocated all of my photos to a Google Drive folder; it was a long and challenging process, but I managed to get everything in place, cross-checked the integrity of all files, and LR assures me that there are no missing photos and all DNG has been validated. However, now I'm seeing...

    Printing contact sheets that include the IPTC data "Person Shown", "Event" and "Additional Info"

    I used Lightroom to add Metadata info to some old family photos. So the info I added to the metadata was mostly in the IPTC area. It included the file name, people shown in the photo, additional info, the event (if there was one) and the locations. I found a You Tube video that was excellent in...

    Metadata plug-ins and other questions

    I'm looking for plug-ins that manipulate metadata. I know about Jeffrey Friedl's plug-ins but I think there is another that is really popular that I can't find a reference to. I'm toying with the idea of writing one but wanted to check out what is already available. I might should write a...

    Slowness in updating metadata

    I just discovered something I thought I would share. I have the majority of my raw images off on a NAS. I'm adding Job Identifiers and it was going slow. e.g. if I had a set of 700 images for the same job, it would take so long that I would just wonder off and start watching YouTube. I had...

    Synching metadata between LrC and Lr (and vice versa)

    I'm currently in the midst of a fairly massive project to digitize all of my family's slides and negatives going all the way back to 1940--perhaps 10,000 images in all. My work flow is to import the new hi-res scans into Lr, then let them sync down to LrC where I can use the date plugin to...

    Filter images based on Maker Data fields

    Hello! I have recently been doing a side-by-side comparison between two competing lenses. In the Maker Notes as shown by the "jf Metadata Viewer" plugin, they are tagged as "Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G", and "Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM" respectively. Because Lightroom doesn't parse the Maker...

    DNG Confusion from an Experienced User

    I have used LR almost daily for 12 years and am accustomed to working with Fuji, Canon and Nikon raw files which all have sidecars that I write all edits and metadata to (besides just to the catalog). I have shot the Leica Q2 a lot lately and just shot it every day for 7 weeks in Rome and...

    save metadata icon on all images

    Hi I don't really know what is going on but I see that the 3barsDownArrow icon is almost on all my images (65000). Even if I click on the icon with one or more images selected, it is coming back (asking to save metadata to disk). Even with new images I have recently added, it is on. As I...

    Video - filter by size/resolution

    The 'Library' module in LR has great tools for filtering the set of thumbnails one sees in Grid mode – Text, Attribute, Metadata, etc. I'm looking for a way to filter videos by resolution (480p, 1080p, etc). LR knows the "dimension" of video files (e.g., 640x480) but I don't see any...

    How to get Copyright from Lightroom to SmugMug?

    Just read this article and I've never put copyright in my metadata before, and thought I'd start doing it. My goal is to set Lightroom up so that future photos published from Lightroom have the Copyright embedded for 2022, but I also want to go back and apply it for all photos in smugmug. I...

    How to change Lens description, camera description etc in Metadata

    I'm using a Leica M10. Current lenses have a 6-bit code that the camera converts to a Lens description. However this doesn't work for old lenses and non-Leica ones. I also have scanned film images where the "camera" is the scanner, and date is scanned date. It's not clear to me just how to...

    Can't Enter Metadata Title & Caption in Multiple Photos in Grid View

    Hi ... I just updated my Lightroom Classic to V11 and I can't seem to do something that I often used in previous versions. I make constant use of the Title and Caption metadata fields for my photos, and I used to be able to select multiple photos in grid view and then enter a title and caption...

    Hi gang. A very specific problem to a limited group of people... I fly drones - DJI Phantom 4 Pro currently. Been processing those files (P3P and P4P) in Lightroom since 2014. And in the Grid view/Metadata/EXIF info the Altitude and GPS fields have always shown the data from the files - until...

    NAS and Metadata errors

    Hi I recently moved all my photos to a NAS, and I now import direct to the NAS. When I edit SOME (possibly most) of the photos, I end up with a little up arrow on the thumbnail in the filmstrip. Clicking the arrow I get the following message. I cannot figure out what the issue is. The only...

    Metadata doesn't show <mixed> for conflicts?

    I have the latest v10.4 and I have an issue in the metadata, library module. When 2 or more photos are selected you should see <mixed> in fields where the info is different between the images but in my case it doesn't do this any more. Any ideas?

    Trouble with the Title and Caption fields in LR Classic

    I'm hoping somebody can help me with a query. I have a client that requires detailed captions and titles on supplied images. In the past I've been using the Title and Caption fields located under the Metadata tab in the Library area of LR Classic. This has worked well. I could highlight any...

    Export Zombie default camera caption keeps returning

    My Olympus Raw and JPG files contain the default caption OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA on import into LrC (all three OM-D E-M1 versions). I usually select all, and edit the caption field to be empty. When I then export to JPG from the Raw file, the default caption returns, back from the dead somehow...

    Which Metadata Version

    Some of my files have a message attached that says "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?". I am given the options of overwriting settings...

    Question regarding camera metadata - how to copy?

    Hi all, When I export an image from LR to edit it in another application, e.g. Photoshop or Photomatrix, etc., the metadata of the re-imported image no longer reflects that of original image. I am trying to find out if there is a way to copy the metadata from that original image to the...

    Import photos and metadata (in JSON sidecar files) from Google Takeout?

    I have exported photos taken using my various mobiles devices from Google Photos, using the Google Takeout service (takeout.google.com). I now want to import these photos into my Lightroom catalog. Each photo (JPG) is accompanied by a sidecar JSON file which contains metadata, some of which is...

    metadata catalog vs actually in image/XMP

    I am working with Exiftool & ImageMagick to extract & manipulate specific metadata fields from my JPG files, so I can use them to modify the images (similar to watermarking) outside LR for display with each image. I have discovered that MANY of the fields (eg; sublocation) that are available in...

    How to tell WHICH metadata field contains the text filtered for

    If I use a filter to find photos in which "Any Searchable Field" starts with, say, "2020," how can I see all of the metadata fields that match this condition? A brute force method might be to choose "All possible items" from the dropdown menu in the metadata panel and search manually. Is...
