Can't Edit Creator field in LightRoom 2.1 when selecting more than one photo

Hi,
I've imported hundreds of photos from different photographers for a book project I'm working on, and want to batch-change the CREATOR field to ensure each photo is properly marked as such.
For instance: I've got a folder of 50 different photos, all by Joe Smith. I'll highlight all of the photos by hitting Command-A, then write Joe Smith into the Creator field and then press Return. Only one photo gets updated with the Creator name, the rest are unchanged. I specifically remember being able to do this in LightRoom 1.
Help! What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug? Adobe can you please fix this? Thanks for any help!
(Using LightRoom 2.1 for Mac.)

I can't duplicate this, Richard. That is to say, it does apply the creator info for all selected pictures in grid view. LR2.1 on XP

  • How can I select more than one photo to upload on programs (kijiji, Real estate Program, ect.)

    I am trying to post houses for sale on kijiji and it won't let me hold shift and grab 10 photos at once, i have to add them individually, when I go to internet explorer, it works fine.

    To be sure if this will work, you can right-click the browse input field to upload the file and see if that input field has a multiple attribute and allows to select for than one file.

    Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
    I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

    If you used Sequence to Layers, Shift and Control key in the layers palette work just as they would when selecting files in Explorer... If it's a video layer, then you should only see one layer and will have to use the Timeline to navigate.

  • How can I select more than one song from the search results?

    I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
    Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
    Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
    I hope some Windows user can help me out.

  • How can I scan more than one photo at a time on my 8610

    The previous HP Scanner we had (8500) would allow you to add scan windows to the scan preview so that you could scan more than one photo or image at a time from the glass.  This allowed me to scan physical photos in several at a time rather than having to load one at a time.  Is there a way to do this in this newer 8610 software?  

    Thanks!  That did work, sort of.   At 600 dpi, If I put 5 photos on the scanner bed, it sometimes senses 3 correctly and senses 2 as one photo.  Sometimes the other way around, it gets 2 right and senses 3 togehter.  I can then change the scanning area to just have one of those photos, but then I have to rescan the one(s) that are/were left out. 
    So the first problem with this solution is, to use it I'm stuck at 300 dpi resolution  or less which isn't great for my situation.  I want to be able to enlarge some of these images up for printing.
    Also, When I click on the + sign it scans the same photos again and I can then crop the ones that it continually senses as 1 photo (even when they are spread apart, but it scans all the others again to, so if it senses three photos together that shouldn't be, I have to add 2 extra pages, crop them appropriately and the delete the extra 4 scans of the photos it got right the first time.  
    VERY CUMBERSOME.  The previous program for the 8500 let you just add a scan area window so that you could scan the bits out you wanted.  Much better.   Why do they mess with what works?   Bummer.

  • How can i select more than one song from drop down search bar

    sometimes to make a playlist i will search my music library for a word & then add all the songs with that word in the title
    the drop down search bar will not allow me to select more than one song
    or
    will it?  & i just can't suss out how... maybe you know?
    if so, please tell me~!!!
    thank you

    hey i tried that before i posted this question... i tried all of the normal ways one would use to select more than one item...
    any click of any kind at all takes you out of the search drop down & into the main itunes window... where you are deposited back into the songs alphabetically... no longer are you seeing the results of the search...
    sigh
    at the risk of sounding like one of those people, the "old" itunes did not have this problem...
    grrrr... it seems to be that pesky drop down menu~ if only you could see the search results in the main list as opposed to only in the drop down thing

  • Can't move more than one photo

    iPhoto v9.2.1, OS X 10.6.8.
    This is a really strange error; Normally you are able to mark several photos and then grab one and move them all. But when I'm choosing one of them it just deselects. Ie, I can't move more than one photo at a time!
    Everything else in iPhoto works, and everything else on the computer as well (at first I thought that the COM key was pressed, it reminded of how you select and deselect objects with the COM key).
    I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
    Is it possible to solve this any other way?

    I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
    You won't.
    Simple test, rather than dragging to the trash, just drag that plist file to the desktop. Start iPhoto. All that's reset are your factory settings - library location and the like - and these can be reset.

  • Can one add more than one photo layer to a draw image?

    I cannot seem to find a way to add more than one photo or photo layer to a Draw image, but the Draw page on Adobe seems to imply multiple photos can be added. How might I accomplish this? Thanks for your time.

    Unfortunately, Draw is currently limited to one photo layer, and only one photo within that layer.
    Hope that helps,

  • Can't have more than one photo desktop..

    I am merely trying to have more than one photo on my desktop. I select the event in iphoto with the pictures, hit share and set desktop. Nothing. One picture makes it on. Settings for desktop pop up and then nothing happens...
    Is there something wrong with iphoto or is it me??

    Well, from the Preferences>Desktop & ScreenSaver option you can select multiple photos from iPhoto to display pictures (one at a time) at various intervals from 5 seconds to once a day....
    I'm not sure how it would work by doing it from iPhoto, but the folder you see above was on my Finder with a selected set of pictures in it that I saved from iPhoto into that folder. I clicked on the "+" that you see in the picture above, and it went to my Finder to allow me to select a new folder. I selected the one that you see there now "Photo Artwork", then set the options below to Change the picture every 5 mintues and to display them in Random Order.
    That would do the trick for you. Sorry I don't know more about how to do it from iPhoto. If you post your question in the iPhoto forum, I'm certain that the experts there would probably be able to answer the question you posed above....
    Hope this is of some help....

  • Can you print more than one photo on a sngle page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa?

    iPhoto printing--
    Can you print more than one photo on a single page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa? Terrible waste of paper and time to do it one at a time!  I 've been away from Macs for several years ( I know, shame on me) but I thought I remembered more printing flexibility.  Help, anyone?

    Yes - select the photos and print - select the print size and paper size (be sure they will fit with some small borders) and click customize - in settings select multiple photos per page (the preview will reflect this selection) and print
