Copying keywords from jpg to raw

I imported all my jpgs with keywords into lightroom 5. I'm now thinking I will no longer make a jpg as part of my workflow and just keep the keywords in the raw files. Is there an easy way to copy all keywords from 1234.jpg to 1234.tif (raw file). Many thanks.

To do all at once, you'll need a plugin, e.g.
* Syncomatic (John Beardy)
* RawPlusJpeg (Rob Cole)
* Relative Antics (Rob Cole)
Internet search will show 'em up pretty quick.

How to copy keywords from one image to many in Bridge CS6 (workaround)

I see a few questions about how to do this, but I didn't see this workaround (maybe it's even the workflow Adobe had in mind). Hope it helps others searching for this.
To copy keywords from one photo, and then apply the same keywords to many, in Bridge CS6:
Select one image that has the keywords you want to copy.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field. Select and copy the keywords you want (probably all).
Click Cancel to exit without making accidental changes.
Select the files you want to add the keywords to.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field.
Click in it and paste your copied keywords.
Click OK. Keywords are applied to all files. (NOTE: I think this replaces keywords, rather than adding to them).
I'm using CS6 on OS X 10.6.8.

Sara,
Why wouldn't you just use a Windows .bat file with xcopy statements? You could even schedule it to run with the Windows task scheduler.

Can I copy Keywords from one set of files to another?

I added Keywords to many jpg files when I should have added them to their scanned source files (tifs). Is there an efficient way to copy them from the jpg versions to their tif “originals?” Except for their suffixes, they are identically named. Obviously the keywords assigned to any one jpg can be dragged to its tif version (or to any any other image file). But I have about nine thousand of them, each with its own set of keywords, and each with its own tif source file (with no keywords). Is there a way to automate this? Is there a way to tell the jpgs to transfer their metadata to other files with the same names (minus prefix) or to any other files?
I’m working in Bridge3 MacOSX.

The link was for the Photoshop Scripting Forum where you can search the existing threads or ask for help in a new one.
Seems like this should be a simple procedure expecially with so many people making books from photoshop documents.
It is not that complicated if you know a little JavaScript and the Photoshop Document Object Model.
But if you are willing to start from scratch instead of transferring existing guides an Action might also work.

How best to copy keywords from one image to another?

Hey everyone,
I can't seem to find a good, obvious way in Bridge CS3 2.1 to copy just the keyword tags from one image to another.
I realize that one possibility is to create a metadata template for the source image and apply that template to the destination image, but this would be a cumbersome & lame workflow IMHO.
I also realize that Bridge allows loading and viewing many images simultaneously, and that the same set of keywords can then be applied en masse. I'm sure many users like this workflow, but I'm not one of them. For one thing, this approach is seriously not future-proof. What if the user goes out and takes more photos that fit into those same keyword-categories that were applied to the image group?
It seems to me that Bridge should allow the user to right-click on the list of applied keywords (at the top of the keywords pane) and see a "copy keywords" command. And then the user should also be able to right-click on an image and see a "paste keywords" command.
Comments appreciated,
Thanks,
Brad

There are many arrows in the shape tool, or you can set the line tool to have an arrowhead in the tool options. You can copy/paste layers from one image to another, or drag a layer from the layers panel into the main image window of another image and then use the move tool to position it. You can also drag into the thumbnail in the photo bin, but you'll still need to bring the image up to adjust the positioning.

How to copy iPhoto keywords from one library to another

I have over 30 iPhoto Libraries. Managing them is great using iPhoto Library, but keyword management is awful (if iPLM has a way I haven't found it). I would like to know how to copy keywords from one library to another. It's a pain to have to continually doing manual setup.
In advance, THANKS!

With that many photos you might consider using one of the high end DAM (digital asset management) applications. I use Media Pro 1. It uses catalogs of thumbnails that are linked to the photos on your hard drive, CDs or wherever. A single catalog can hold 250,000 images. It uses Catalog Sets like Events in iPhoto. There are Categories which are like albums in iPhoto. Those and Catalog Sets are virtual. You can batch rename files once in the catalog either by date or text. The folders holding the photos on the hard drive can be set up auto update in the catalog so when you add a photo to the folder it will appear in the catalog. You can add keywords, hierarchical keywords, descriptions, etc. and write them back to the original file.
It has some built in editing capability and versioning capability. Clicking on a keyword will display all photos with that keyword quickly. Searches can be made across multiple catalogs and have the results displayed in a new catalog.
I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, etc. The catalogs can be viewed and keywords, descriptions added, etc. without the original files being available. You just can't do any editing, slideshows or anything that requires the full sized file.

LIghtrroom 1.1 problem 1 & 2 importing-copying from CF cards (raw)

Hi.
With Lightroom 1.0 I didn't had this problem, but since I updated to 1.1 and Im importing from CF cards (raw files) and this is very darn often, Lightroom comes up with problems either 1 or two and its not able to copy 1, 2, or 3 files. But if I try to import again those missing files it does import them! And this is very annoying because I have to go one by one to see which one (s) it missed!
And much worst sometimes it doesn't read a big chunk of files. It shows that it found lets say 100 raw files and shows them in the import text box, when the finder (Mac OSX 10.4.10), camera, and other software its showing me the real 130 files.
Also, sometimes I select some of the images I want to import in that dialog box, and it imports some random ones. This has happend a few times. And when I try it again and it selects the same random ones even if a choose a completely different set of images.
Whats going on? I didn't install any new software/hardware to my MacBookPro computer but the Lightroom Update!
Please help Lightroom is killing me!

I've seen Lightroom (1.0) fail to import all images from a card reader, that otherwise works fine (I've never had a single problem just copying the entire DCIM folder from the card to my hard drive using the Finder). This was mitigated somewhat by Lightroom's duplicate detection; I'd say "import my memory card" and it would get 90% of it but miss a couple (and no easy way to select the ones it missed). But then I just say "import the whole thing again" and it would do only the ones it had missed the first time. Repeat until it got no errors, which sometimes took 3 or 4 passes.
The whole thing was not very confidence-inspiring though, so now I always copy the files from the card to where I want them, then tell Lightroom to import them at their current location, and I haven't had any problems doing that.

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

Keywords are stored on the image so they will automatically be read by CS6 or any other program.

Can no longer copy and past jpg and gifs into InDesign from c:\user\doc\pics

Here is the error message we get when doing a copy and past from the hard drive to InDesign.
Error Message from InDesign:
Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing...
First, do I need to add a plug-in to be able to copy and past jpgs and gifs?
Second, we have always used clip organizer with no problem. Ability to copy and paste jpg & gif suddenly stopped. We get a box but no image ont the page. Have already tried dumping temp internet files through internet explorer. Have already un & re installed InDesign and repaired and fixed everything I could think of.
Third, we can use the place command to place jpgs but can not place gifs.
William (Helping Mrs. White)

It sounds as if Mrs White needs to search visually for graphics and then place them. She can either set Windows Explorer
to thumbnail view and drag a graphic on to an InDesign page - this will in effect be placing the graphic, not copying
and pasting, and is the right way to go. Or she can use File > Place, and set the view in the Explorer window that she
selects from in the Place command to a thumbnail view to see the graphics.
GIFs can be placed. They are not a recommended format, but if you are placing clip art then you may have no option.
So, in answer to your original question, no, you don't need a plug-in to place JPEGs and GIFs. But note that is place,
not copy and paste.

How to create jpg's from ARW (Sony RAW)?

Hello!
I have Photoshop CS6 Extended.
Is it possible to create jpeg photos differing only by 1 EV basing on RAW
file automaticaly in CS6 (Camera RAW)?
I don`t want to open RAWs files every time I want to create a jpeg photo.
I have 3 RAW files: -2 EV 0 EV +2 EV
I want to create 13 jpeg photos at one time
- from 0 EV RAW file I want to create jpeg photos: -1 EV 0 EV and +1 EV
- from -2 EV RAW file I want to create jpeg photos: -6 EV -5 EV -4 EV -3
EV -2 EV
- from +2EV RAW file I want to create jpeg photos: +2 EV +3 EV + 4 EV + 5 EV
+6 EV
Is it possible to create such files at one time in CS6?

Question 1
To create a multipage tiff you use the method TIFFEncodeParam#setExtraImages. The method takes an iterator. I'm not sure if there is a built in way to append pages to an already existing file, but in theory you can read from the already existing file as needed (when iterator#next is called) and write to a temporary file, before replacing the existing file with the temporary one. So you'll still have to read the existing file, but you don't have to keep all the images in memory.
If you switch to core java's ImageWriter/ImageReader api and get [JAI-Imageio|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html] (which has a TIFF ImageWriter plugin) then you can insert images into an already existing file. Presumably the TIFF ImageWriter appends directly to the file.
Question 2
The only thing special about a BufferedImage is that it has exactly one raster at (0,0) and it's guaranteed to have a color model. RenderedImages may have more than one raster and are not guaranteed to have a color model. But if your RenderedImage does have a color model, then you get rgb data from it the same way a BufferedImage does,
colorModel.getRGB(raster.getDataElements(x, y, null));There are other ways, but this is the most generic.

Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations. In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export... In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information". Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others. In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji. But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector. The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto. If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data. Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy. Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

Thanks for the pointer. I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy. Copy the photos to the new Library. Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc). Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working). But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature.

LR 1.3 Mac not Importing JPGS with RAWs

I'm trying to import both RAWs and JPEGS at the same time and LR 1.3 is not doing so well. With previous versions I was able to import both a raw file (converting it to DNG in the importing) and bring along the accompanying JPEG (as a sidecar) at the same time. Now, 1.3 is no longer doing that. I can either import a RAW file only, or treat the additional JPEG as a separate image. This is no good. I need to import both RAW and JPEG at the same time and have LR rename the files (both RAW and JPEG) with the same names. What happened?

Yeah. I've double checked this several times. When I used to import as DNGs, I would get the JPGs copied into the folder that I designated and, in LR, the name above the thumbnail would be something like "D80_0001.dng+JPEG." So, I know that whatever I was able to do then is broken now.
The only solution I can come up with is several (tedious) steps:
1 - Import NEFs as DNGs. This I can do by turning off the "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos" in the Prefs. When the Import box opens, it shows only the NEFs. Then I start importing.
2 - Go back to the Prefs and turn the above feature on again.
3 - Go back to Import and select all the JPGs from amongst the JPGs and NEFs in the folder. Then import them into the same folder the DNGs were imported to. This way, the JPGs can have the same name as their DNG counterparts.
4- Go back into the LR library and open the folder with all the images and selectively delete all the JPGs from the library. You see, I don't want the JPGs in the library; I just want the RAW files. But I do want the JPGs and RAW files stored together on my hard drive.
Please, can this be fixed. This has put a serious crimp into my workflow. You know what it's like to have to selectively choose JPGs from NEFs in a folder containing 900+ images!?

Can I merge a JPG and RAW folder in a catalog and keep the edits?

I usually shoot RAW plus JPG and always used to copy all of them into the same folder. That worked fine, but was a little pointless as the JPG was only used as a temporary preview before the RAW was loaded in behind it. For speed of editing at events, I started to split the files in to two separate folders and import both, but tag and do basic edits, crops etc on the JPGs so for 'news' website use, then work on any higher quality client requirements from the RAW. It would be nice if I could later merge the two together so that those basic edits - and ratings etc - were then applied to the RAW files. They have the same names - bar the extensions, of course - having be renamed by LR on import. I tried it on a test shoot, but it just seems to add separate JPG and RAW images to the catalog. Is there a way to have it associate the unedited RAW with the edited JPG?

Hello Guy gswarbrick,
I am not sure I understand where your current workflow with the JPGs saves you time:
Do you load them into your LR catalog, and do you do the ratings and crops there?
Then for selling on the web you export the JPGs thusly edited from LR?
Do you use a laptop on site/in the field for this?
I am just wondering, where you would actually loose time if your workflow would be the following:
General preparation of your LR set-up:
Define a default develop setting for RAWs that matches your camera's JPG-conversion pretty fine, so that the result would be almost identical without any explicit develop edit.
Define a default export setting for your JPGs to be sold on the web on the day: choose the quality, the size (resizing rules) fit for web, colour space most probably sRGB, ... (no adding to the catalog)
Workflow during the shooting day:
Only import RAWs, no JPGs at all. [Do you fear this takes longer than imprting the JPGs?]
Do the quick stuff during the day like you do today on the JPGs, just on the RAWs. Should also be rating/labeling and cropping, nothing more thanks to your prepared default develop settings.
...Compared to any option with ExifTool or the like for the final RAW-work (4.) you would definitely save the time there.
So the question is: would you really loose time during the critical phase on shooting day?
I guess not, provided your default develop settings achieve pretty much your camera's jpg-conversion. You may need to experiment a little there, make these defaults specific to ISO ranges and camera serial number if you shoot with several cameras, but once this prep is done there should be no more substantial delay.
Unless you post the images directly from camera to the web without passing through LR catalog. Or your field laptop would be of very low spec.
Where to start? Let's start with my laptop; it's about the highest spec available, coupled with Sandisk Extreme Pro cards and a high speed card reader. What about my fear that importing the RAWs would take longer than the JPGs? Well, a small, basic JPG is about 500k, the equivalent uncompressed RAW file is 12Mb, so I reckon about 24x as long to import - give or take. Plus the time to render the RAW file, which isn't required for the JPG. And that's assuming I'm not adding default develop settings, which have a small but not insignificant overhead. For that reason, the RAW imports are usually done after the events or during (rare) breaks.
I've arrived at this workflow through 5 years of experimentation. RAW-only simply does not work for these sorts of events. Most of my 'competitors' shoot JPG-only, for that very reason, but I don't want to lose the RAW option for the print work.

Is it possible to copy keywords "backwards?"

I added Keywords to many jpg files when I should have added them to their scanned source files (tifs). Is there an efficient way to copy them from the jpg versions to their tif “originals?” Except for the suffixes, they are identically named. I know the keywords assigned to any one jpg can be dragged to its tif version (or to any any other image file). But I have about nine thousand of them, each with its own set of keywords, and each with its own tif source file (with no keywords). Is there a way to automate this transfer en masse? Is there a way to tell the jpgs to transfer their keyword metadata to other files with the same names (minus prefix) or to any other files?
I’m using Bridge3 OSX but will use any software that can do this.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event. I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events. I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills. ABout 50 of them, When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them. So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it. (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff). Seems to work so far.
So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else. Do you know a way around this?

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.
