Collection info in grid view

In grid view, is it possible to see which collection(s) a photo is assigned to? If yes, where is that setting? I am using LR1.1. Thanks!

It's not possible in Lightroom 1.1. The feature was introduced with version 2
BTW: you would be best updating to Lr 1.4.1

How can I compare two collections at the same time? (View two grid views)

I have two collections containing some of the same images. (My Nikon D70 did not put an end-of-file on some images. I recovered them into a different collection.) Now I want to display both collections side-by-side in grid view. I will select those images in the "recovered" collection that correspond to the bad images in the "main" collection, add the ratings etc, and move just these to another collection.
It is extremely frustrating to have to bounce back and forth between collections, remembering each image one by one and selecting it in the "recovered" collection. (The image names are not preserved in the "recovered" collection -- I have to go by what the image looks like.)
LightRoom allows me to compare photos in the compare view. I want to compare collections in two grid views.

CaptureTheLight,
you have ran into a situation when you have to compare two sets of images and now you're wondering how come Lightroom doesn't have such "obviously necessary" functionality? But you have to admit it, this is not such a common situation in a photographer's workflow recovers broken files and tries to compare them against themselves. I think it's a pretty specific feature you need. Still, Lightroom has enough powerful tools for editing and sorting images.
For example...
You could just put them all - "main" and "recovered" - into a single collection or into the Quick Collection. Label the entire "recovered" collection with, say, red and sort by capture time. Now you'll have everything side by side, ordered chronologically. The "recovered" images will stay next to the "main" images since their capture time will be the same, and they will also stand out since they have the red label.
Make the thumbnails bigger and set up the grid view so it tints the thumbnail cell are tinted with the label color. Now, you can go quickly through them visually checking labeled vs unlabeled.

Make Edit time and Edit count info available in Loupe Info, grid view option, Edit History panel and Smart Collection

We all know that Lightroom can sort images in grid view by edit time or edit count. I cannot find any way to display edit time and/or edit count in view option or loupe info. I think these should be made viewable. Without them, when you have a large batch of image and you previously edited only some and come back later to finish, you don't know which ones need more work, etc.
Another useful thing is that Edit History should have an option to show the date/time of the edit. It may be shown when mouse is hovered over an edit item line.
Similarly, smart folder can filter the images by Edit Time being before/after a certain date. However, if I have no way of knowing what the edit times and counts are, this feature has little use.
Alll of the above should be a specific date like 08-20-2009 or Today, yesterday, 43 days ago, etc. Both forms are useful for different purposes.

Good idea.
Also, it would be good if the SDK functions for updating custom metadata did not necessarily bump the edit time.

How do I show and/or update image info in the Grid view?

Somehow, all the info that was showing in my grid view, in Lightroom 5.6, disappeared. How do I view info for each grid image, on the grid and how do I update or change what info is viewable?

Ctrl/Cmd-J

Lightroom 5.3 does not show image info tooltips in grid view expanded cells

In my copy of Lightroom 5.3, image info tooltips do not show in the grid view expanded cells even though that option is activated in view options. Is this an issue with Lightroom 5.3? (Note: Image info tooltips in grid view compact cells and the filmstrip do display, however.)

I don't think it ever has. I've just checked back through all versions from Lightroom 2, and don't get the same information in Expanded Cell view as I do in Compact Cell view.
So not a specific issue with LR5.3, more likely either it's "as designed" or one of those very long-standing bugs that haven't been fixed.

I guess there are not phone support... I cannot drag images from grid view into collections.

I have been trying desperately to fix this issue. I cannot drag any images from the grid view into collections. Can anyone help? I looked everywhere for a customer support number but I was not able to find one on Adobe Website.

Hi,
Only a couple of things I can think of:
1. Make sure it isn't a Smart Collection, and
2. Drag by placing the cursor on the actual picture NOT the grey area surrounding the image.

File name not showing in grid view

I just upgraded to LR 5.4 and I noticed that now when I am in grid view, only the capture date and dimensions show on the image when I run my cursor over it. I used to get a quick pop-up with the file name, capture date & dimensions, so I can quickly see where I am in my numbering system. I have looked at the preferences and also in view, but it is not apparent to me where it went, plus I know I didn't change anything, intentionally.
BTW, I also upgraded to Mavericks OS on my iMac, but I hope that is not what is wrong. I know Adobe put out a bunch of "patches" for Bridge, etc. but I have already downloaded and updated all that.

When you are in Library module/Grid mode, the text that appears in the hovering action is controlled by the Info Overlay. The Info Overlay has three states: Off, Info 1 and Info 2.
Go to View>Loupe Overlay and put a check mark next to the Overlay you wish to be active and your hovering enabled text will change to match that text.

Problem sorting by Artist in grid view using Itunes 8

I have a lot of albums that contain various artist and i set up the info in each with the correct artist name and "various artist" as the album artist. In itunes 8 when i use grid view and use show by artist it displays by album artist putting all the albums by "various artist" in one grid. It's correct in list and cover flow view. How can i set the grid view to display by the artist of the song and not the album. (ex. Soundtrack from the motion picture Tropic Thunder: Display "U Can't Touch This" under MC Hammer instead of Various Artist)

Actually, the grid view should be using the Album Artist tag. When the Album Artist tag was added in iTunes 7.0, the intent was to allow users to properly tag songs based on the artist and any guest artists. For instance, on Luther Vandross’ album +Give Me The Reason+ Track 6, “There’s Nothing Better Than Love” is a duet. Therefore, while the Artist tag for the rest of the tracks should be ‘Luther Vandross’, the correct tag content for Track 6 is ‘Luther Vandross duet with Greory Hines’. Without having ‘Luther Vandross’ in all the Album Artist tags for all 9 album tracks, iTunes would split the album as if there are two albums of the same name by different artists.
The other situation are producer-driven albums like Quincy Jones’ +The Dude+ or +Back On The Block+ . These are not compilations, as you described, because the songs were produced for the albums and Quincy Jones, although not a performer on any of the tracks, is the album artist. The exception is soundtracks that are compilations of songs typically produced for a given film. Like the situation you describe, each track has a different artist, so by having ‘Quincy Jones’ in the Album Artist tag for each track, iTunes maintains the integrity of the album and keeps the tracks properly grouped.
(Now if Apple would only acknowledge and fix the persistent bug that does not carry these grouping and sorting features over to the user’s music folder when they have enabled “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” in iTunes’ preferences.)
The situation you are specifically referencing is that of tagging compilations—albums that consist of tracks by various artists where there is no actual album artist—but you have used the Album Artist tag effectively forcing iTunes to see them as single artist albums. I also tag compilations—e.g., Various Artists (Hip Hop), Various Artists (Jazz), Various Artists (R&B), Various Artists (Soundtrack), etc.—, so I understand what you have done. Unfortunately, the fix for forcing the grid view to recognize individual artists in compilations may require you to clear out the Album Artist tag on all of your compilation album tracks forcing iTunes to revert to the Artist tag in place of the Album Artist tag.
What I would suggest is clearing the Album Artist tag of just one compilation and seeing what happens. If the album appears under “Unknown Artist”, or some other generic listing, in the grid view then iTunes only recognizes the Album Artist tag and I am at a loss as to what you could do. If it works as you hope, then you can go ahead an clear out the Album Artist field on the rest of your compilation albums.
The downside of clearing the Album Artist field is that iTunes will revert to its pre-version 7 habits and break up the albums; that is, a compilation with 12 tracks by 12 different artists will appear in the various views as 12 different albums albeit with the same name and cover art. To keep the tracks properly grouped in other views, you will need to mark all of the tracks from the compilation albums as “Part of a compilation” in the info dialog.

Songs out of order and split into several "albums". Only in Grid view upon clicking on album.

Ok this is getting ridiculous! Until two days ago, all was well in my itunes universe. Not so anymore. All tracks on ALL albums are all jumbled, but only when I use Grid view. List view, OK, as are all the others. All the sorting info seems to check out and nothing seems amiss. When I have 10 songs shy of 7000, going album-by-album through the whole library doesn't quite seem viable as an option. Could there be a corrupted plist or preference file somewhere I could trash? I downloaded the latest version, then spent 5 hours restoring Itunes from my last backup and that was before the problem occurred. What gives? I've tried everything I've been able to find on the internet so far and nothing has worked. I've yet to attempt a reinstall as I'm afraid this bother is hiding somewhere in a file that wouldn't be touched by a reinstall. And I'm not willing to live with it as this is my preferred way of interacting with itunes. I have better things to do with my day off than scour the web for a solution that never should have happened in the first place. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance.

Nevermind, somehow it's magically back in order.

Selecting Collections in a Grid

For expediency, while looking through a folder, I create a Quick Collection, then save the Collection. All this without rating the images. Later on, I'd like to be able to delete the images that are not in the Collection.
I noticed that while I am in the Grid view of the folder with no images selected, if I hover my mouse over the Collection name in the left panel, the images in the Grid view that are in the Collection have a temporary thin white border. Apparently, this is to show you which images are part of the collection. A nice feature. Now I am wondering if I can somehow use that to actually select those images in the Grid. Then I can do an Invert Selection, and delete the unwanted images.
Any ideas?
Nick

The simplest way is to go to your collection, select all, go back to the folder (this should keep all images you selected previously selected), invert selection and delete.

Cannot sort images in grid view?

I am trying to re-arrange the order of images in the grid view by mean of drag-and-drop, but LR doesn't allow me to do it. I also manually selected "User Order" from the sort menu with no effect. It is happening only with the latest bunch of photos I imported (both in Collection and Folder), while LR still allows me to re-arrange my old images. I must be missing something obvious (not to me)... any idea?

User sort order comes up on this forum so frequently that the subject deserves to be in the FAQ, especially since user sorting is almost totally undocumented.
As Lee Jay points out, what is implemented is a design decision. There is a basic conflict here between user sort order and the existence of subfolders.
The current implementation has a few rough edges. For example, even including all sub-items in the top folder doesn't free up sorting as has been suggested, at least in my Windows version. Also, even if a sub-folder is empty, user sorting is still frozen in parents. BTW, a sub-folder is one recognized by LR. A folder can have sub-folders in the underlying file system not in the catalog. These have no effect as far as I can tell.
However, in all the cases I have tried, user sorting is available within and into stacks at any level regardless of whether sub-folders exist. I can move things around freely in a stack or from outside the stack (even from another stack) into the stack. Reversal is possible in stack-to-stack moves but not from a stack to the outside, unless the folder has no sub-folders. This fact might help work around the limitation in some cases.

No images in Library grid view

Hi,
In V1.0, when I set my Library to grid view I only see my images for a short while. Then all images turn to grey squares. Updating the grid (like changing thumbnail size or sorting order) again shows images only for a short while.
Loupe and Compare view are ok.
Never had this with the Beta versions.
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thx,
Haya

How to rearrange single photo in grid view

This seems like a silly question, but my library was imported and one photo out of 1000 shows up at the beginning in the grid view. I'd like to move it to the correct chronological location so it fits in with all the the others.
I can't figure out how to select a single photo and reinsert it into another location in the grid or filmstrip.
What is the easiest way to complete this operation? Seems to me I should be able to select it and simply drag the image...
The help file seems to show only global methods for rearranging order. I want to manually move a few images around.

Drag from center of image not frame, if you aren't doing so already.

User order only works in Folder or Collection (including Quick Collection) Views. And only the lowest (non Parent) level unless Menu/Library/Include Photos from Subitems is unchecked.

Lightroom does not open from the dock or out of applications (directly). I only have the lightroom bar on the top of the screen. It allows me manually to select a catalog that I want to open but then I get the message "an error occured when attempting to change modules and a blank lightroom opens.
Sometimes I am able to create a new catalog but as soon as I close LR and want to open it again the next day or an hour later everything is gone/cannot open LR again.
I tried to reinstall LR. No change.
I am using Lightroom 1.3.1 on a Mac Book Pro 10.4.11
Hope somebody can help!!!

Grid View Badges Option Is Grayed Out

I am using LR 4.2 (on Mac) and have been using LR since 2.0. Yesterday all the badges on all my photos disappeared in Grid View. I didn't change any prefernce settings, or update that I am aware of. When I go to View > Grid View Styles> Show Badges, that option is checked, however it is grayed out. On the Mac that usually indicates it is not a viable option.
I've restarted the program but the problem remains. Any suggestions about how to bring back badges?
Here is a screen shot:

Go to View Options>Grid View tab.
Ensure "Show Grid Extras" is checked, then select either Compact Cells or Expanded cells.
Ensure you select the items you want to see under "Cell Icons", e.g. Flags, Badges, etc.
Then UNCHECK as many of the boxes as you want under Compact or Expanded Cell Extras, to remove the info top and/or bottom on the grid cells.

Prefer older grid view of itunes store - can i get it back?

after resisting for a couple of years, i updated my version of the itunes store to itunes9. in the process, i lost the no-nonsense grid view listing of tracks for purchase, including the ability to click-and-drag to re-size columns when not all the info is visible. predictably, the 'new' store view is laden with album art graphics, and seems designed to launch new windows favouring album purchases at every step. however, the main problem is: it loads and navigates SO slowly and clunkily for me, it's driving me nuts. any way to get back to the old grid view?

Sadly, no. I don't like the new store layout, either, for reasons you mention, and others.
Such as, not really being able to sort by release date.
Clicking on the Artist name, followed by "See All", now gives items that aren't even remotely associated with that artist.
You can send feedback to apple:
