BEWARE "Copyright Status", "Copyrighted" tag added in Lightroom doesn't show when image is opened in

When meta data is added in Lightroom using the "Copyright Status" tag one would assume that the copyright symbol (©) would be visible in the image title when opened up in it's sister product Photoshop just like when using Bridge to add the same add meta data, well it doesn't.
Those of us who make a living from licensing the rights to use images rely on copyright and notification thereof as an important part of being able to defend our rights. For a company that produces software for the purpose of disseminating such images I am surprised that two of their main products don't speak the same Meta data language. This is a serous bug for me and causes yet another step be taken in the work-flow outside of this otherwise good product.
Those of you who don't know what I am talking about regarding your copyright ownership of the images should follow this URL http://www.asmp.org/commerce/legal/copyright/index.php to get educated on this important issue for intellectual property creators.

I'm having issues with the IPTC copyright fields when I export TIFFs from LR2. Specifically, it cuts the word limit to 128 characters, clipping my terms in half.
The 128-character limit is imposed by the IPTC standard:
http://www.iptc.org/std/IIM/4.1/specification/IIMV4.1.pdf
Note that LR stores the value of the Copyright field of the IPTC metadata panel in three different metadata locations in a file's Exif data:
EXIF:Copyright
XMP:Rights
IPTC:CopyrightNotice
It is only the last that the standards require to be truncated to 128 characters.  Newer programs like LR give precedence to the XMP fields if they are present, but older programs still use the legacy EXIF and IPTC fields.  In particular, when reading metadata from a file, if XMP:Rights is present, LR will use that for the Copyright value instead of IPTC:CopyrightNotice.
Thus, you can have Copyright values longer than 128 characters in LR, and LR will preserve those values properly in the EXIF and XMP metadata, but the values in the legacy  IPTC:CopyrightNotice field must be truncated according to the standard.  If possible, adjust your workflow to use the XMP metadata instead.

  • I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option

    I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option. CS5 is still installed on my computer. How can I add it to Lightroom Edit options?
    Mac 10.6.8

    You can add CS5 as an "Additional External Editor" on the External Editing Tab of the Preferences panel. See this screenshot, I have Photoshop CS5 as my prime editor, and have added CS3 as an additional external editor:
    Then when you use "Edit In...." you'll see both options available..

  • Image in Lightroom doesn't match exported image viewed in Photoshop

    After all my hard work in Lightroom, I export the image to a folder on my hard drive. When I open this exported image in Photoshop and view it alongside the Lightroom version of its "twin" in Lightroom, there is a significant difference. Why is this? I want to use these images in my books, but my time is wasted if I end up with anything other than what I created in Lightroom. Shouldn't these images match exactly?

    Thanks Jao and Michael...the color management idea makes a lot of sense.
    Adding to this idea, when I open the Pshop file I get a message about the doc having an embedded profile that doesn't match current RGB working space, and the usual 3 options: Use the embedded profile, Convert color to the working space, or discard embedded profile. No matter which option I choose, none of the opened docs match the Lightroom version.
    The color balance is fine, but the colors aren't as vibrant. The Pshop photo is dull and lifeless compared to the Lightroom version. I used Clarity which added subtle brightness, and Vibrance to crank up the color in LR which added wonderful dimensionality and punch to the landscape scene, but the Pshop version has dulled these back down.

  • Lightroom 3.3 doesn't show all images of a folder

    I have used Lightroom since version 1.0 and at the moment I am using v3.3.
    Now I have following problem and I can't find a solution for it:
    In the Navigator I have synchronized my complete folder where I store all of my photos. This folder contains more than 50000 photos already in many subfolders. But now I found some subfolders not showing all their content. I can see in the Navigator e.g. 216 pictures beside the folder name but in the preview I can see only 3 pictures! And I found some more folders which doesn't show their full content.
    I tried to sychronize the single folder again but Lightroom says there were no new pictures and also no missing pictures to remove from the folder. If I open the folder by the Windows Explorer then I can see that all the files for the 216 pictures are there! So there must be a problem with the lightroom database!
    But now I don't know what to do to get the pictures displayed in the library again.
    I would appreciate any idea regarding this problem.
    Best regards,
    Jochen

    LOL!  Sorry, the login details I gave you were to the public upload, which then get hidden so no one else can download your files.  I can see you're busy uploading ok, so I'll take a proper look in a bit.  No I don't need the previews, just the cataog and a few problem files is great.
    Ok, when the uploads are finished then you will have my current database, a screenshot of Lightroom which show no pictures in the library (and the preview) of a folder (all filters off, tried to synchronize already,) but it shows clearly that there are 31 pictures in the folder normally.
    I also uploaded some of the pictures of this folder.
    In past I could see the pictures in Lightroom - I can remember that.
    Thanks and best regards,

  • Dynamic adding of components (doesn't work when programmatically)

    Hi, I don't understand, why this doesn't work. I'll explain it on this example:
    import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor;
    import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Group;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.Button;
    import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class NewFXMain extends Application {
        Group root;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Application.launch(NewFXMain.class, args);
        @Override
        public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
            primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
            root = new Group();
            Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250, Color.LIGHTGREEN);
            Button btn = new Button();
            btn.setLayoutX(100);
            btn.setLayoutY(80);
            btn.setText("Add button now");
            btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
                public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                    addButton();
            root.getChildren().add(btn);  
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.setVisible(true);
            System.err.println("Number of buttons before: "+root.getChildren().size());
            ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor = new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(1);
            executor.schedule(new MyTask(), 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        private void addButton() {
            System.err.println("Button adding");
            root.getChildren().add(new Button("YEAH"));
            System.err.println("Number of buttons after: "+root.getChildren().size());
        class MyTask implements Runnable {
            public void run() {
                addButton();
    }There are two ways how a new button can be added. Either by clicking on existing button or programmatically by the program itself after 5 seconds.
    If you add it by button, there is no problem. The error print is:
    Number of buttons before: 1
    Button adding
    Number of buttons after: 2
    But if you just wait, then the error print is:
    Number of buttons before: 1
    Button adding
    and no button is added. In fact, the error printing after the adding isn't performed either.
    I'd like to ask if there is some solution for this because I'd love to do some changes by schedulers. Thx

    No, these are not error messages, they are just for purpose of example. Here it doesn't matter whether err or out... (yes, 'out' would be better ;)
    But thanx, it's working. By the way, I am creating scheduler for task lists. They are supposed to be printed dynamically in specific time (or periodically). For example: at 5 o'clock I need to print 5 items of some list and every 3 hours I need to print 3 items of another list etc. - so it's quite dynamic with regard to component adding (No, I don't want to use some sort of ListView, I want interactive printing: one item on screen at a moment). I'll try to work your solution into my code.
    Edit: So either it's not possible to use this for the purpose of my app or it will be really cumbersome. Maybe it would be easier to draw some rectangles with mouse listeners...
    Edit: So I finally got around it. In the end, I won't use dynamic adding as intended. It's working and that's important.

  • Lightroom 5.6 crashes when images with some color profiles are in import

    I am a recent subscriber to Adobe CC. I run LR 5.6 64bit on my Win 7 PC. Whenever I seek to import images previously processed in iPhoto or LR elements into my catalog, ACC Lightrom crashes. I suspect it is because the original editing program used a different color profile. Adobe techs will not give me an answer when I ask for an overall cure. Are their any technical documents on the web that would enable me to deal with this issue? If so, I cannot find them, and I do not want to call Adobe again and again to get LR 5.6 restored.

    When Lightroom greys out a photo in the Import dialog box, it means the photo is already in the catalog. It doesn't mean that it is matched with an older photo with the same name ... in order for there to be a match, the file name and capture date and file size must be identical.
    So Lightroom thinks you have already imported the photos, and you think the photos have not been imported. Now I'm sure you are a very nice person, but I believe Lightroom. What you need to do is to find the photos in your Library Module and use them there. The photos can be found by searching for them by file name, after turning off all filters, and after clicking on All PHotographs in the Library Module.

  • Lightroom doesn't show Histogram, Exit Properly, or load previews

    I've installed both Lightroom CC and Lightroom 6 on multiple machines.  I'm experiencing the following difficulties with both.
    1.  When I exit from Lightroom CC or Lightroom 6 (Yosemite 10.10.3), the program appears to exit, but doesn't actually close.  I have to use either the activity manager or CTRL-ALT-ESC to "Force Quit".
    2.  While in Lightroom CC, histograms do not appear in the histogram box either in the library or develop module.
    3.  On many images, the preview will not load in a reasonable length of time (5 minutes).
    My hardwares are:  1)  a Trash Can Mac Pro (2014) with 32 GB RAM, 6 cores, 3.5 GHz per core, and the 1 TB flash drive (0.7 TB free).
    2) 2011 (Late) Mac Pro, 3.4 GHz Quad Core, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB Hard drive (1.8 TB free).
    I've tried uninstalling, followed by reinstalling both programs, I've redownloaded the Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC programs directly from Adobe.  I've rebooted my machines.  I've signed out of the CC and signed back in.
    Right now I'm mostly frustrated by the inability to use the program for anything function.
    Any suggestions.

    Thanks Victoria, here you go.
    SSD is my root volume (most people would have "Macintosh HD" instead), so that is where /Users/… resides: so for example my home folder is at /Users/dave which is the same as /Volumes/SSD/Users/dave. You can see that saving from PS has made LR think I have image folders at /Users/… when I do not, and never have. You can see below "SSD" is the volume "Users" where the real image folders live (an external Firewire drive in this case).
    I have expanded "Show Parent" to the root of each volume in that screenshot.
    So under SSD, "/Users/Lightroom Photos 2/…" is bogus and under Users "Lightroom Photos 2" is legitimate.

  • Lightroom doesn't show up in Cloud Ap. Manager

    How do I get the Lightroom to show up in the Application Manager. I have tried numerous times and still nothing.

    Got it, just replying to myself. Go to the top of the manager, try signing out then signing in again. I had to use my adobe log in information and then the light room showed up.

  • Lightroom Unable to Import HDR Image File Opened as Smart Object

    I just started using Nik HDR Efex Pro and created an image file in PS CS4 Extended which was opened as a smart object and saved to play around with later.  The image shows up in Photoshop as "[image number]_hdr.tif" and both PS CS4 Extended and CS5 have no problem opening it.  But I cannot import it into LR3.  LR3 gives me a dialogue box which says in effect that the image file cannot be imported because it is corrupt or unsupported.  I am guessing the latter because (perhaps) as a smart object the image file is 32bit(?)  In any event, has anyone tried and had luck importing to LR3 in this circumstance?  Is it "operator error" or just something LR cannot handle?  Also, if you have encountered this problem, do you have a workaround?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The backend for middleware should be same as what it was in MI.
    the erro comes when the corrosponding structure in a bapi doesnot exists in current backend.
    Please check if the structure ZEFLMI_DOC_HDR_T51 exists in backend.

  • Lightroom doesn't show and use drive B:

    Hello,
    I have many partitions and drives in my PC (Win 7 64 Bit Ultimate), so I'm using drive B: for my pictures. There are no problems with Win7 or other programs but LR doesn't recognize this drive B: neither for import nor for saving files to folder. What can I do (except for giving drive B: another letter - there's no letter left!).
    Thank you

    The ONLY place to buy a ready made ringtones is from the iphone itself from the itunes app, then "More">"Ringtones"
    If you bought from your computer, then you need to create the ringtone.  You can create a ringtones from just about any song/sound file for free.

  • Report in HTML web service... unnecessarity tags added

    My requirement is to generate a report in html format in sap and get it through a  web service.
    I need to invoke a sap web service which executes a report function and returns the report in HTML format.
    I am using an RFC BAPI which uses WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function to convert report to html.
    The problem is when the RFC is returning xml data with the html extra data is also being sent which are not of UTF8 charset format but windows-1252 charset.
    So I am unable to parse that xml.
    The extra tags added are <LIST_PAGES>...</LIST_PAGES>, <HYPER_TAGS>...</HYPER_TAGS>, <XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>...</XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>. I think these are being added by WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function.
    I don't want these tags to be sent... how can I solve it.
    I hope the question is clear... Please try to help me.
    Thank you.

    I managed to test the web service working from another APEX environment.

Someone else has asked this same question on July 20 and received no answers so far. Both of us using iweb '08. I've also gone the other direction but all Lightroom answers also refer to .mac accounts.
    I've tried following the methods in past posts using html snippets and iframes but they don't seem to be a perfect fit without the .mac account. Anyone have any advice here? Many thanks.

    I tested and it worked fine for me....
    I went through Yahoo steps and had code generated...
    Went to iWeb and on page I wanted to add chart, I clicked on the "Web Widgets" icon at bottom of iWeb page and picked "HTML Snippet" and then pasted code in area provided (where it says paste code), finally I hit "Apply" saved my pages and published. Worked fine.
