    Understanding Metadata to Assign

    A few years ago I created the attached DOS BAT file to run exiftool to set the metadata of files prior to working on them in post. When I set this up I was a couple of cameras and a couple of different post programs. I now do everything in LR but still use this file. As you will see, I tried to...

    Save Metadata vs Read Metadata?

    I made changes to a photo in Camera Raw (in Photoshop). When I right-click the image in Lightroom, I have the option to "Save Metadata to File" or "Read Metadata from File." What is the difference?

    How to sort scanned photos by date in Lightroom

    Hi I just spent some time trying to figure out why my scanned photos don't sort by date, and I think I understand it more or less. I searched through this forum to see if this question had been answered before, and I don't think so, although obviously many people understand the issue already...

    Any filtering plugin able to use metadata fields ignored by LR ?

    Hi, Assuming I'd like to setup a filter based on the LensID or LensIDNumber fields, LR cannot help. It merely ignores these fields (and others). Is there any plugin that is able to do that ? I tried AnyFilter but that doesn't work for these fields. Thanks in advance. PS : I have found a...

    I want a better understanding of organization, use of folders and metadata in LR

    Organization is important to me. I have discovered how difficult it is to clean up a mess on a hard drive. Actually still working on that. I have tens of thousands of photos. Most without metadata. So I am working bit by bit on that. Made a mess pretty quickly on my first attempt at...

    Keywords with commas chaos

    I've found lots of duplicated keywords in my photos recently. I figured out the problem is that somehow, keywords appeared in my catalog that actually contain several keywords separated by commas.

    I'm in the process of switching from Picasa to Lightroom. My camera has been set to take both RAW and JPEG. In one folder I have both the RAW and JPEG files. When I import them into LR, I unchecked the option for "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". Therefore LR shows the...
