How to un-nest keywords imported into Lightroom 1.1?

Greetings:
When I updated Bridge 1 to 2, I didn't realize that the update changed what simply used to be structural sets of keywords (the set title was not written into metadata) into nested parent child structure. I have since discovered that putting square brackets around the name of the newly formed parent returns it to a simple structural name that will not be written into metadata by Bridge.
When I then imported my images into the new lightroom 1.1, this new parent child configuration was preserved (a configuration I never wanted).
My question is: How can I get all the child keywords in Lightroom back into parent positions with no children present? They don't seem to drag and drop out of the parent spot and context menus don't seem to help.
Can you give me some advice?? TIA

Well thanks. I did figure out a way though it took a long time. I clicked on the unwanted child keyword, did ctrl-A to pick all, did ctrl-N for new collection, named it the new keyword, scrolled back to the old unwanted child keyword, right click delete all including the child keyword on the keyword list, added new non-child keyword in the new panel, hit enter. Can then delete the collection. Using keyboard shortcuts actually made this a pretty fast job per entry. I sure wish the Bridge 1 to 2 upgrade hadn't decided to make my system into an unwanted hierarchy!

    If the images are in the location you want them be sure to select "Add" at the top of the import dialog box.

  • Re Importing into Lightroom 4.1

    My photographic equipment consists of a Nikon D 7000 ( set to RAW) and a P 5000 (JPEG). My computer is an iMac with Lightroom 4.1 installed. Up until recently it has been possible to import from the SD cards directly into Lightroom via the reader in the side of the Mac. As of late the program will let me see the previews but when I attempt to import the images a message pops up that the files cannot be read! I can import them into 'iPhoto' but this is not where I want them! Can any one please suggest what has caused this new problem? I eagerly await any suggestions. With Thanks.

    Dear tlsteinb.Thanks for your reply. I tried the ejection of the external drive as you suggested. To no avail! It is still a mystery to me. I do not know if i have to change a setting on the camera, the computer, or the program! I tried to send a 'chat' message to Adobe directly.How successful that will be we will wait and see! I shall keep you posted. Regards, Rae Dall

    Just this morning I've begun experiencing the same thing. I can get the photos off the card and onto the iMac desktop for instance, but they won't import into Lightroom 4 from either the card reader or the desktop. So my assumption is that my card reader is working fine, but Lightroom is not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Does anyone know how to take photos from IPHOTO into Lightroom?

    does anyone know how to take photos from IPHOTO into Lightroom?

    Because Apple has dropped "Aperture" and is switching users away from "iPhoto" to a new photo application called "Photo" so that they are more fully integrated with the Yosemite 10 and the iOS 8.3 going forward there are some instructions how to import photos into Lightroom without losing to much metadata or other information. Go under Lightroom help and follow he instructions.

  • PSD files created using export data set fail to import into lightroom

    If I create a set of files using variables in a data set, the PSD files won't import into LightRoom. LR says to resave with maximum compatibility, but I already have that set in Photoshop. If I open one of the files and resave it, it will import. Perhaps PS isn't honoring the maximize compatibility setting when exporting.

    Hi,
    I downloaded 10g database ver 10.2.0.1.0 from oracle site and installed it on my laptop. I took an export of schema which was on my 9i database ver 9.2.0.1.0 using 9i exp, created tablespace and user in the 10gdb and tried to import the same to 10gdb using 10g imp using the following.
    imp system/pswd@10gdb fromuser=test touser=test file=expdat.dmp log=expdat.log
    it displays
    .importing SYSTEM'S objects into SYSTEM
    .importing TEST'S objects into TEST
    and it doesnt import any objects just hangs. The Log file does'nt have any entries.
    Can anyone help me.
    Thanks in advance

  • How do i uninstall all of the trial apps that have been imported into Lightroom 5?

    This is a screen shot from the pull down you'd get if you right clicked on the image in Lightroom 5. I'd like to uninstall all of those listed except the Exposure apps.

    Okay - but after that..
    I followed the instruction in the tutorial and did the following:
    Click Import (Existing Files)
    Select source - (pictures appear in grid)
    include sub-folders if appropriate
    Select “add”
    File Handling - Changed build preview to standard
    Apply During Import - Nothing added
    Add keywords - Added keywords
    Import (Tutorial says to click “Import” but import is greyed out and not available)
    What am I missing? The destination information does not appear. I tried selecting that before I clicked "Import" but that didn't help..

  • How do I access a folder from my hard drive and import into Lightroom?

    Lightroom does not recognize the folder and tells me the photos are not online.

    If you haven't yet - go into lightroom - select library  - on the left you will see "folders" click the + sign and find the folder on your computer. Lightroom will not by default add folders that do not have images in them.  Hope that helps... if you're already doing that try to describe your problem in more detail

  • Process for exporting out of Aperture to import into Lightroom

    I'm trying to convert a large library of images that is presently cataloged in Aperture 2.0 into a Lightroom 2.0 Catalog.
    Aperture doesn't store the sidecar files with the raw files. Is there a procedure or plugin that will create sidecar files in the same location as the (raw) image files in a nested file structure, so that I can then import the images (where they are now on the disk) into Lightroom and retain all the information that was recorded in Aperture (e.g. star ratings, keywords)? There are many thousands of images, in a fairly complex nested file structure, and recreating the images or manually moving files where they need to be in the file structure would take many hours.
    If there is a FAQ on this topic, can someone simply kindly point me to the FAQ? I tried searching but was unable to find anything useful. I found solutions that exported the master files (duplicating ALL the image files) with xmp sidecars but as noted above this would be problematic given the size and structure of the files currently in Aperture.
    Thanks!

    There are 2 big problems with the export/duplication route:
    1) The files are in a fairly complicated nested structure, and they need to STAY in that nested structure.
    2) The time and disk space required to duplicate the entire library.
    I don't have iView, don't know enough about Applescript to do this myself. (If I did, I would have done it already after reading the threads here that referenced iView.)
    This is *extremely* frustrating. If this is a simple thing (for someone with the appropriate skillset) to write a plugin for, Adobe should have an employee or associate developer do it to ease the transition for new customers coming to Lightroom with a library already cataloged in Aperture.

  • Pre-sets are are automatically being imported into Lightroom 1.4

    Have a Mac 10.5.4
    As yet not removed Lightroom 1.4. from computer ( also have a compressed zip copy)
    On importing new pre-sets into Lightroom 2.
    Lightroom 1.4 automatically imports them - even if I have Lightroom 2 open.
    How to I get around this?
    thank you
    Sue

    Both Lr 1 and Lr 2 use the same default location for presets.
    If you want separate preset locations then choose the "Store presets with catalog" setting in the Presets tab of your Preferences settings.

  • Why aren't my NEF files importing into Lightroom 5 anymore?

    I have a Nikon D7100 camera that I shoot Raw in.  I've imported these NEF files into Lightroom 5 from my camera on previous occasions, but recently I wanted to import new photos.  The new photos show on Lightroom's import screen but when I click on the import button the software acts like it is beginning the import process but never does, eventually showing a warning box saying the files could not be read.  What is going on and how can I fix it?

    From Marta K Tollerup,
    Thanks to all who offered help with my importing problems.  I did find the problem.  I discovered that somehow the destination file was changed so Lightroom didn't know where to import to.  If you have a Mac and your run into this problem this is how I solved it.  Hook up your card reader or camera to your computer and proceed through your usual importing steps except for clicking the Import Button.  Look at the left hand side of your import dialog box (Source area) you should see a cascade of files, one inside another.  It starts with the name of your Hard Drive, then users, then your user name, then Pictures, then a file just called 2014.  This file named 2014 inside the Picture folder is what had been changed on my computer.  Once I choose it again my photos imported without any problems.  Hope this helps anyone else having a sudden problem importing your photos.  For Mac users go into your Finder and look in the Picture Folder.  You will find where Lightroom stores your photos.  I'm assuming PC users have something similar.  It helps to know where your photos are stored because then you can spot an error in the Source area of the import dialog box.

  • Photoshop Edits Import into Lightroom, Color/Noise Problems

    Hello!  When I edit photos in Photoshop (CS5), it looks completely different when I save it/re-import it into Lightroom.  The color is usually way off, and there tends to be a significant amount of noise in the imported version.   Tiffs v. Jpegs makes no difference.  I read in another forum that someone else said he only has this problem with his Canon 7D files.  My files are all Canon 7D.  Would that be a Canon problem to solve, or Adobe?  I'm attaching a screenshot of an image I had just saved in Photoshop, and then how it appears when it automatically re-imported back to Lightroom. Thank you for any help you can provide.  It's killing me to work so hard on my images, just to have them look completely different afterwards.
    Thanks, Heather

    Looks like you are applying a preset, have set camera defaults, or have enabled auto-tone. In Develop, all sliders should be at zero for tif files. You probably have a large amount of shadow fill dialed in. Go into your preferences and make sure to uncheck "apply auto tone adjustments" Also reset all default camera adjustments in the same dialog. Then hit reset on the file in develop.

  • How do I publish calendars imported into iCal from a .ics file to iCloud rather than MobileMe?

    Having upgraded my iPhone4 & iPad to iOS5 and my iMac to OSX 10.7.2, I have been having trouble with duplicate calendar entries. Unfortunately, having deleted all but one calendar from the iCloud web interface, I heeded the mistaken advice to disable Calendars in the iCloud preference pane on the iMac and it deleted the calendars that had been removed from iCould from the iMac as well.
    A few false starts later, I was able, after disconnecting all my devices from the net, to restore my iCal calendars with TimeMachine from before the chaos started then exported them as .ics files. After rebooting and re-enabling the network to the iMac, iCloud sync purged the restored calendars from iCal again, so I imported the .ics files into iCal and published them again, but the publish options only include MobileMe or a private server, so I chose MobileMe. iCal now happily shows all my calendars on the iMac again, but the iCloud web Calendar app can't see them.
    How can I get iCloud to see the published iCal calendars again?

    Solved, I think! What you need to do is log on to your icloud account at www.icloud.com, go to the calendar screen, click the gearwheel and choose New Calendar. Create a calendar here (ie up on the iCloud) with the name you want for your imported calendar data. Then switch to iCal - you may have to quit and relaunch for the new iCloud calendar to appear (or it will probably do so automatically if you wait long enough) then import the data using File->Import->Import... When you get to the step where it asks which calendar you want to import the data into, choose the new iCloud calendar you've just created. Job done!
    To be complete in my answer, I don't think you can exactly do what you want to do, at least not at present. There doesn't seem to be any way to publish a calendar to iCloud after the first time you set up iCloud on your Mac when it exports any calendar data that is on the Mac at that time. I suppose that Apple feel that the way I have described works by exporting from one calendar and importing into another, so no need to provide a way of doing it directly.

  • Jpegs already in folders won't import into Lightroom 4

    All my cr2, nef and tiff files import fine into Lightroom 4. All the jpegs made in DxO import fine into Lighroom. But the jpegs made in Digital Pro Professional aren't recognized in my Library folders. Neither are the jpegs made with in my camera along with the raw files. If I open a tiff file in Capture NX2 to do local dodging and burning it saves it fine within Lightroom and saves those jpegs too.
    Strange?
    PS: Using Windows 7x64 home premium, Canon 5D Mk2

    Strange? Possibly not.....if the option to "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos" is unchecked in your Lightroom Preferences (General Tab) then Lightroom will only allow the importation of the Raw of a Raw+Jpeg 'pair' (the jpeg is noted and referenced as a 'sidecar' file in the Raw's metadata). That would easily explain the issue of the OOC raw+jpeg pairs, and may explain the issue of the DPP jpegs IF they have the same filename and live in the same folder as their original raw files.

  • HELP IMPORTING INTO LIGHTROOM 4.4

    I am having problems all of a sudden importing my RAW files into Lightroom.  I have been doing nothing different and have been using the same equipment.  Can someone please help?  It just says that it can't read the files. 

    Which often means the files can't be written to the specified destination folder. So check that permissions are OK and that there isn't a space issue there.

  • JPG´s will not import into lightroom 1.4.1 ("the file appears to be unsupported or damaged")

    I have converted a collection of raw files with Autopano pro to jpgs.
    When importing them into lightroom 1.4.1, part of the collection is not displayed in lightroom and the software gives me the msg "the file appears to be unsupported or damaged".
    The same files open up with any other jpg supporting software.
    Can anybody help me with this

    I was not aware of this pano program but have downloaded a trial copy and will give it a go. I just did a set of images that PTGUI could not deal with and it looks like this program did it perfectly even without muddling with the control points. Its also dealing with 1 image where I cropped out a conflicting angle of view area.
    I just imported the jpeg out of this package into LR with no problems. I edited it after import to LR with Photoshop CS3 to do a cleanup crop of the pan.
    I'm very impressed with PanoPro right now. Will have to purchase. PLUS...it runs either Mac or PC!!! Solves yet another problem I've had with my conversion to Apple.
