Will adding keywords or other metadata changes to jpeg cause file to be compressed?

Hi, I've been searching on this for hours and not finding a definitive answer.
Will adding/modifying keywords or metadata (ok if this is two seperate questions)
cause a jpeg file to be compressed again while the changes are saved to disk?
thanks for any assistance,
William

Thanks for the reply. I am somewhat clearer on exporting and I understand the non-destructive changes concept for LR.
Maybe a better question would be " Does Lightroom recompress a jpeg when writing to the XMP space in the file?" please correct me if "XMP space" is not he correct term for where keywords are stored.

  • Appending Keywords and other metadata to the masterfile

    I can't find an answer to the question:
    How do I append Keywords and other metadata I added in Aperture to the masterfile without exporting?
    I need that to import all that metadata of the masterfiles in a Portfolio database.

    I guess you will need a new copy of the RAW to import into Portfoilio. That's really the only way to get Aperture to make the XMP file that contains the keywords. There is a program called Annoture which can convert Aperture metadata into metadata for the program iView Media Pro. No one has made a program to get metadata directly into Portfolio. Aperture wpn't "embed" the keywords in a RAW file because it will not alter the original. Maybe someday Aperture will create DNG files.

  • A few of the photos will not transfer as they are saved as jpeg.rem files

    Hi,
    I'm new to this board and trying to transfer pictures and videos from my Blackberry Bold  (work one with T-mobile) to
    my PC.  I tried to do it by using media card reader and was sucessfully able to most of the files
    but for some reason a few of the photos will not transfer as they are saved as jpeg.rem files
    on my media card. Any ideas why would some of the pictures would be save in a different format
    and any suggestions how to transfer them?
    I have the same issue with the videos..out of 20+ that I have on the device memory i was only
    able to copy about 5 that are in .gp format...rest of them will not open as it appears to be encrypted.
    I also have a blackberry curve (with AT&T) as my personal phone...would it read my media card from the
    Blackberry Bold?
    Thanks!

    Hi guruli
    The .rem files indicate these files are encrypted.  This article should help.

  • Is movie metadata changes written to the file in iTunes 10.1?

    Hello.
    I'm putting together a bunch of home videos for my parents (made in iMovie) for Christmas and I'm using iTunes 10.1 to populate the metadata (genre, movie title, comments, etc.) — is this data written to the file or is it stored in an iTunes DB? My concern is, like how iTunes handles cover artwork, will all the metadata be lost when I give them these videos (since they'll be importing into their own iTunes library) or will the information I edit in iTunes move with the files? If this information is not written to the file (ie. it'll be lost when I give them the videos), can anyone suggest an iTunes add-on that will allow me to edit these files already imported into iTunes?
    Also, I assume the cover art isn't written to the file, like with music files — is this true? For example, if I add a cover to these videos (which I'm making myself as JPGs), if I add the cover art in iTunes, will it be written to the file so it appears as cover art when I give the files to my parents and they import into iTunes?
    Any info would be appreciated!!!
    k.

    Meta X works great for editing the metadata.

    I'm putting together a bunch of home videos for my parents
    How are you giving them these videos? As a regular, playable DVD (such as burned with iDVD)?
    If so, tags are not needed as they are not written to the playable DVD.
    However, it is good to add the metadata so you have the info in the file on your computer.

  • Are keywords and other metadata in web galleries Google-searchable

    I am currently creating my first website and wish to use one of the website templates in LR 2.6.
    My question is, will Google-etc search engines 'see' my keywords and image titles during their searches?
    I hope someone can help.
    Thank you

    Not by google, yet, but by other methods.
    .Jeffreys Exif viewer will read it and there are other web based image search engines that do. Only time before google does likewise I would guess.

  • Will FCE automatically log embedded metadata when ingesting QT .mov files?

    Hi --
    I'm trying to figure out whether to purchase FCE to help in a large project. I am about to create a couple of hundred QT files that I want to bring into FCE for editing. Each file will be tagged (logged) when created to allow searching in ITUNES. The tags reside in the INFO/COMMENTS field in the .mov container.
    *Will FCE recognize the QT tags on ingestion? Can FCE automatically populate each file's logs with the appropriate tags?*
    Obviously, a yes answer will save a huge amount of work. And, I welcome any alternative approaches.
    Much thanks,
    Ken

    Thx for the quick, helpful and somewhat unfortunate response.
    Any chance it works the other way, i.e can tags/log info be exported to the source .mov file.
    Am I missing some other strategy to share tags/logging between FCE (or any NLE for that matter) and embedded metadata in the source files (QT in this case)
    Again, thanks for the help.

  • Adding keywords and phrases for high search engine hits

    I'm new to iWeb and most things seem to be working. I have one question and one problem, hopefully you guys can help out.
    Question: how do I add html code that is not visible on the page but that will help Google and other search engines find my page using keywords, phrases, etc.? Please assume I know very little about this and need the holding hand explanation.
    Problem: I have a media file portion on my website that displays pictures (working very well) and one that is supposed to show a movie (not working at all). The movie was made with iMovie and has an .m4v extension. When you click on the link for the movie it shows a blank screen on Firefox and a Quicktime logo with a big question mark on Safari. I'm attempting to view the website on my Mac with the latest Quicktime software on it but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
    Some additional info: the hosting provider is 1and1.com and I have a Windows server package (unfortunately). Also, if I publish the site to a folder the movie area works flawlessly, it just does not work on the hosted site.
    Thanks!!

    You don't need to do post publication manual editing of your site to add keywords and other metadata. You can use the freeiWeb SEO Tool. If you're publishing to MobileMe you can add them after publication. If you're publishing to a commercial hosting server you'll need to publish to a folder on the desktop, run SEO and then use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload your site.
    If you have to republish SEO remembers what you added and can quickly add them again before uploading.

  • Global Metadata changes in Bridge?

    When CS5 Bridge and adding my metadata changes for my photos, I cant seem to find a way to make these changes globally to several large blocks of photos.  I tried to click on all the photos involved but then it refused to accept any changes.  PLease! tell me there is a way?  I even tried to "saved" the changes so all I had to do was one click on the new photo but that didnt work either.   I'm new to Bridge so please bear with me.  Thanks.

    If what you want to change is description, credits, copyright and other IPTC and other metadata that is shown in File Info, you can use Bridge to change multiple image files at a time.  In Bridge, select the block or blocks of images for which you want to change the metadata. Then right click and and click on File Info... in the right-click popup menu (or instead ofright click, use Control-I or File > File Info...).  This will bring up File Info dialog box.  If what you want to change is in a saved template, you can click on the templates button (at bottom of file Info box between Preferences and OK).  Select and click desired template, which should bring up Import Options popup box. Select one of the three options, depending on how much of existing in-file metadata you want to keep or replace.  Or instead of calling a template, you can make entries directly into desired File Info fields.  Any information you enter in a field overrides existing metadata and applies the new value to all of your selected files.

  • How do I get Bridge and Lightroom to respect - read - metadata changes?

    I cull my wedding images in Bridge (CS 6) and then export them into LR 4.  I typically rate images as I'm culling, but when I import those images into LR, the ratings don't carry over.  Likewise, when I label images in LR and export them, Bridge shows all the color labels as white - regardless of which label was actually assigned. 

    Lr saves all edits and any other metadata changes in its database (= the catalog).
    Additionally to the catalog you can <save to file>,i.e. to a xmp-file (in case of a Raw photo), or in the header (but not in the image pixels!) of a JPG, TIFF, or PSD.
    Saving to file is done by
    _ either checking the box <Automatically save changes to xmp> in >Edit >Catalog Settings >metadata tab, or manually
    _ by going >Metadata >Save metadata to file (in Lr Library Module), or
    _ by going >Photo >Save metadata to file (in Develop Module.
    When you save manually to file you can select multiple photos in the Grid Mode and do <Save metadata to file>.
    This saving to file is necessary in order that Bridge can read and display the Lr edits because Bridge cannot read the Lr catalog.
    Bridge saves to file automatically (there is no option of deselecting it) and Lr will read the metadata from Bridge when you import the image into Lr.
    In case of an image that is already in Lr you have to select >Metadata >Read metadata from file (in Lr Library Module), or 
    by going >Photo >Read metadata from file (in Develop Module). Without this <Read metadata from file>, Lr will not display any changes made in Bridge after the import  into Lr. Since this <read metadata from file> would overwrite any different edits you may have done in Lr, it is best to do this before you do further edits in Lr.
    The rating stars should transfer from Bridge to Lr and vice versa without problems.
    For the color labels to transfer correctly you have to make the textual descriptions for the individual colors identical in Lr and in Bridge - down to upper/lower case, commas, hyphens, underscores, etc.
    Having said this:
    I would recommend that you do not use Bridge for culling your images. You can do the culling just as easy in Lr. When you manage photos in Bridge and in Lr, you will always have the problem of synchronizing the metadata. This can be done but it needs a meticulous workflow that is adhered to strictly.
    There is nothing in Bridge that Lr cannot do *). Make your life easier and choose Lr as your only image management and editing tool, except for CS6 itself (I mean Photoshop itself, not the ACR ).
    *) Well there is one thing: Since Lr is not a browser-based program it does not automatically "see" what is on a hard drive. Photos need to be imported in order that Lr will "see" them.
    Bridge is browser-based. Whatever photo is on a hard drive - irrespective of which program put it there - it will be "seen" by Bridge.
    So Bridge is a valuable tool if a photo is not displayed in Lr and you want to check if it is in a particular folder.

  • Adding keywords to Iphoto and Finder file

    I am scanning photos and adding keywords to photos in Iphoto. The original file is in Finder. Is there a way to add keywords to both the photo in Iphoto and the File in the Finder at the same time.
    The Finder files are backup in case Iphoto crashes or I do something stupid and loss my photos.
    Thanks

    I am not sure what you mean by a referenced library.
    a referenced library (the advanced option "copy imported items to the iPhoto library") has been unchecked?
    Preferences/ Advanced/ Copy items to the Iphoto library ( the box has a check mark)
    You then have a managed library so your photos are all copied into the iPhoto library. While there is no problem in keeping an extra copy of your original photos outside of iPhoto as long as it is on the same disk as the iPhoto library it is not a backup - any disk or computer failure will affect both equally - to have a backup it must be on different physical media

  • Adding keywords to already processed jpgs

    Hello,
    I'm new to Lightroom and I would like to add keywords to my jpgs. These have already processed using adobe camera raw. If I add the jpgs to my catalog and then add the keywords, those keywords are not written to the jpgs when I close Lightroom.
    How do I add the keywords so they are searchable for example using windows search?
    Thank you!

    On the right in the Lightroom Library module is the Keywording Panel, and also a separate Keyword List Panel. There you can add keywords to your photos. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/keywords.html#add_keyword_tags_to_photos
    By default, Lightroom does not add the keywords to your JPG files. You don't need Windows search to find the files, because Lightroom itself gives you tools to do the searching, and in fact Lightroom tools is a much more optimized search than anything you can do in Windows. Thus, the recommendation is that when you want to search for photos with a specific keyword, you do this search in Lightroom. Furthermore, another reason to do the search in Lightroom is that Lightroom will show you the edited photos, whereas Windows will not.
    Should you wish to write the keywords and other metadata to the files (or in the case of RAW photos, sidecar files), you can do so via the Lightroom command Metatadata -> Save Metadata to Files, or turn on the option to have this done automatically. The usual reasons for having metadata in the files is to allow other applications to access the metadata, and for emergency backups. I really don't think that writing keywords to the files so that you can use Windows to search for keywords is very good idea, nor is it very efficient, as I said, your searches will be much faster in Lightroom.

  • Adding keywords to ref'd images while ext HDD disconnected?

    I have looked for an answer to this issue in the documentation as well as searching this forum (and others), but cannot find a succinct answer. Here's the question:
    I have original image files on an external 500GB drive hooked to my MacBook (2GB RAM, 10.4.8). I started usoing Aperture, which i do like a lot (now that I can have external storage for the files).
    The question is: if I take the MacBook on the road without the 500GB drive, can I work on keywords and other metadata? COmmon sense tells me yes, but the manual speaks of not being able to work on images whie referenced originals are "disconnected". Before I start a pile o' work, i just want to be sure I can add keywords and such while travelling with the MacBook.

    You can edit metadata including keywords, version names, picks in stacks etc.
    What you can't do is any kind of visual editing such as cropping or other adjustments, and you can't export anything.

  • Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information

    Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files.  Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files.  I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes.  Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.  64-bit iTunes.

    @tposchi
    I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it.

  • PSE 9 Organizer Error Adding Keyword Tags and Other Woes

    Hello, everyone.  I am having a ton of problems with PSE 9 Organizer.  The most frustrating and biggest problem is that I believe my catalog has been corrupted beyond repair.  I spent all of yesterday tagging my photos.  I had no problems and everything seemed to be going well until all of the sudden, the organizer suddenly froze up.  I had to use the Windows task manager just to get it to close.  This happened several times.  Finally, the organizer locked up my computer and I had to restart.  I opened the catalog and didn't seem to have any problems at that point.  I was able to view all of the images, video files etc.  I was even able to open the editor from the organizer.  When I tried to add a tag to a photo it gave me an error.  All it said was "error adding keyword tag" then nothing.  I tried to delete the photo and all it said was "error deleting photo".  This "error" shows up any time I try to make any changes to all of the images.  I can't add any new photos, can't delete, or add tags.  I have repaired the catalog several times.  It found errors the first time, but evidently that didn't fix my problem.  I also optimized and deleted my thumbnail cache to see if that was the issue.  Still nothing.  I have other catalogs and they work fine, so it is something to do with this particular catalog.  Any suggestions on what to do next?  Can I move the pictures to a new catalog without losing the tags?  And no, I didn't write the tags to the images because I wasn't done tagging.  Besides, PSE doesn't always write the tags correctly, as you probably know. Next problem.   When I first open PSE and select the organizer, it doesn't alway open.  I can see it on my taskbar (Windows 7 64 bit), but I can't get the window to maximize.  I have to close and open several times to get the window to open.  Sometimes it randomly jumps to my second monitor like it can't decide where to go.  Very frustrating.  I would appreciate any suggestions about what to do.  Thanks.

    Back to the original question, after thinking about this for a couple days I have had two ideas for workarounds:
    1)  Copy my tag names into the photo metadata and create a new catalog to bring all of my images into.  This will allow me to keep all of my existing tags, and it MIGHT solve the tag display problem based on a test with a couple images in a new catalog.  The downsides to this are a) permanently writes my tags into the photo metadata which will be bad if I decide to change something later, b) loses all version sets, and c) loses all albums (although I don't have that many).  I found instructions for this workaround at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Merging_Catalogs.
    2)  Live with the lack of color tag display in Organizer, and use reverse searches to find missing tag categories.  For example, if I want to find all photos that do not have a "Places" tag, I check the box next to the "Places" category (which also selects all sub-categories and tags below this).  Then I go to the Options drop-down in the Find Bar and "Hide best match results" and "Show results that do not match".  This gives me every image in my catalog that does not have a tag from the "Places" category, so I can go through and tag these as appropriate.
    I would have gone with #1 if it weren't for the permanence of the keywords.  I guess I have a commitment problem (or I just haven't got my tag hierarchy figured out yet).  Instead, I am going with #2 which should give me most of what I need for now.  I will still hold out some small glimmer of hope that Adobe manages a fix for this issue down the road.

  • Will adding global access change my domestic plan?

    Will adding global access to my phone now change my domestic calling plan and if so should I wait until I'm out of the country to change it?

        twodogsfourfish
    I completely understand how important it is to be clear about any changes to your plan and coverage before completing changes! I can definitely go over the details with you. With being on the Nationwide plan currently, what global access were you looking to add to your plan? If the $25/100MB data plan for global data access, this will only add the $25 charge itself. If the $4.99 Voice Value plan to lower per minute rates outside the country, again it will only add the $4.99 charge itself and will not change your domestic plan. Were you looking to move to a More Everything Canada/Mexico plan instead? This would change your calling plan depending on when it was made effective.
    As with any international trip, I definitely recommend reviewing our trip planner to make sure you're clear on all rates and dialing instructions before you go! The $25 and $4.99 features are not compatible in all countries. http://vz.to/1fb1kE8
