Display of keywords for multiple images error in LR5

In LR5, when two images are selected in Library view, the results in the Keyword Tags panel are incomplete. In my instance, two images were selected. They have some common keywords and those are properly displayed. However, the keywords assigned to only one image appeared with an asterisk in previous versions of LR, a behavior I would like to see continue.
In my instance, one keyword for, we'll say, Image A only, appears but with no asterisk, it should display an asterisk. And, one keyword unique to Image B does not appear at all when both images have been selected, it too should appear with an asterisk.
I'm on a Mac running 10.8.4 and LR CC.

Are you in GRID view when you have the multiple photos selected? The asterisk only shows up in Grid view. I am also on 10.8.4 and it works for me.

Adding/Deleting keywords for multiple images

Well, I'm finally paying the price for bad keyword management and I'm trying to clean up my nightmare of a system now but running into trouble.
I'm using Lightroom 3.2.
My workflow follows one of two types:
1) I'm shooting something specific (soccer games) and I import the shots and immediately assign the appropriate keywords (soccer, which kid it is, which tournament it is)
2) I've taken shots of multiple events/subjects and I haven't had time to download and organize. I will then import with a 'file later' tag so I can easily search and keyword them later and then re-use the card.
Well 'file later' is now about 3000 images! Doh!
I'm going through and properly assigning them but I'm having a lot of trouble with what I *think* should work in Lightroom.
There are several things here:
First, if I choose the 'File Later' keyword, it will pull up the metadata filters options on the top of the grid view. No matter what I do, I can't make it go away. If I do get it to go away, I wind up viewing ALL my pictures which is not what I want.
Second, if I choose multiple pictures by ctrl-clicking or shift-clicking, It appears I can assign a keyword to multiple shots. I cannot REMOVE a keyword from multiple shots. Lightroom seems to only want to remove the keyword from one picture at a time even if they are all selected.
Third, the painter tool does not work...at all. Enabling it and then selecting and applying or removing does nothing.
So, what am I looking for here?
Organizing for these should be pretty easy since most are in blocks and I can apply the same keywords quickly. However, removing the keywords one at a time is a huge pain.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

First, if I choose the 'File Later' keyword, it will pull up the metadata filters options on the top of the grid view. No matter what I do, I can't make it go away. If I do get it to go away, I wind up viewing ALL my pictures which is not what I want.
This is the filter dialog - of course if you close it you turn back to All Photographs. Try creating a Smart Collection based on your File Later keyword - this collection will automatically populate all your images that have that particular keyword. Once you have keyworded the pictures from e.g. one particular shot, just remove the File Later-KW and those images will disappear from the collection.
Second, if I choose multiple pictures by ctrl-clicking or shift-clicking, It appears I can assign a keyword to multiple shots. I cannot REMOVE a keyword from multiple shots. Lightroom seems to only want to remove the keyword from one picture at a time even if they are all selected.
I'm not sure why you can't remove keywords from multiple images - it just works fine here by selecting multiple images and delete the keyword.
Most of the times I use the Keyword List to assign/delete keywords because in my opinion it is the easiest way - I just browse thru my list or filter for a particular kw and tick the box on the left.
Creating a hierarchical keyword list can further simplify your work. For example the location: organize the final keyword xyz-Soccer Stadium into other keywords like Town>County>State>Country>Continent>Places, then you only have to tick the last keyword xyz-Soccer Stadium and with that assign all of those keywords in the hierarchy (I know thats kind of a complicated explanation...but I suggest you play around a bit and then you will get the full picture ).

PDF from postscript (ps2pdf) displays "Insufficient data for an image" error in Reader

Hello,
I'm not fully confident this is the best place for this, but I'll start here. Note that this is NOT the same as the issue that was recently fixed in Reader 11 (found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/insufficient-data-image.html)
I am using the command "ps2pdf" (using Ghostscript) to convert postscript files to PDF. To get better quality, I use the ps2pdf options "-dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode", which force lossless encoding for color images. However, there are images on certain pages that yield the error "Insufficient data for an image" when opened in Adobe Reader XI (current version), and the image on that page is not viewable (or rather, it can be viewed, but only until you get the whole image on the screen; then the image disappears). If the PDF is printed, the image will not print. The error also occurs in Acrobat 9.4.0, and possibly other versions. However, Reader 8 displays the files with no issues. Also, Foxit reader displays the PDF files fine.
The postscript files are screenshots generated by the user dragging a box to define the area of the screen to be printed to file. This issue only occurs for some size boxes that the user draws; others come out fine and are read by Reader just fine.
This only happens when using FlateEncode; using lossy JPEG compression (e.g. the default ps2pdf output) does not yield files that produce the error.
Here are some example files to demonstrate the issue (hey, maybe the issue is not even reproducible for other people! That would be helpful to know if true, so even if you can't help solve the problem, if you could verify whether this issue occurs when you open one of these files in Reader or Acrobat, it would awesome).
bad pdf where error occurs: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zbk36yfy7vrhvhw/gmbad.pdf
good pdf (very similar, but slightly different box drawn): http://www.mediafire.com/file/649fuxul0td5bsx/gmgood.pdf
Merged good and bad: http://www.mediafire.com/file/54nwwebh3da7p9w/good_and_bad.pdf
If anyone has any ideas on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you think this isn't the right place for this, and perhaps know of a better place for my question, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks!
Additional possibly relevant information:
ps2pdf is being run using Ghostscript 8.15 on Unix Solaris 10. I also ran the same postscript files through ps2pdf (again using Ghostscript 8.15) on a Windows 7 machine, and the resulting PDFs did not exhibit the same errors when opened in Reader or Acrobat.
Adobe Reader 8 and 11, and Foxit were run on Windows 7. Acrobat 9.4.0 was run through a Citrix server, and I'm not sure what version of Windows it runs on.
I tried lots of different options in ps2pdf, and also tried running the postscript through ghostscript directly (using the "gs" command). Nothing was able to eliminate the error without resorting to using lossy JPEG compression.
I am now using lossy (but fairly high quality) JPEG compression in the workflow, accepting the loss in quality and (paradoxically) doubled filesize of the JPEG-compressed PDF files, so I'm really just pursuing this to figure out what the heck is going on, not because it is mission critical.
Postscript files used to create the above pdfs:
bad: http://www.mediafire.com/file/v656dp45h2jeyj6/gmbad.ps
good: http://www.mediafire.com/file/47sn60dgbzbxrs6/gmgood.ps
The .ps files are very similar to each other, differing only in the image content and the image location/translation.
The postscript files give multiple warnings/errors when opened in gsview (this happens with all .ps files created by Pinnacle, not just the ones giving me issues).
The program that is used to create the postscript files is Philips (Adac) Pinnacle^3, a treatment planning system for radiation oncology.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Our application uses scanned images up to 10 years old, and there are thousands of images so we cannot rescan these unfortunately.
I work in a large organisation with it's own desktop team so unfortunately I can't upgrade the version of Reader on our user's machines to see if this resolves either. The desktop team will also not upgrade the version as the problem appears to have only started in 9.5.2.
Does anyone know how I can confirm if the problem was first seen in 9.5.2 or if there were instances in 9.5.1 also?
Thanks again

Adding keywords to multiple images - Help!

I'm getting really frustrated. I've been a long time iPhoto user, but my husband bought me Aperture and I'm trying to move to it. . . .anyway, I'm trying to add keywords to some of my pictures (I miss my "hot keys"). I have the Keyword Controls open on the bottom of the split view window and I've set up a variety of keyword preset lists. . . Anyway, the problem that I am having is when I select multiple images to apply a keyword to, it is only applying the keyword to the "primary" (meaning the boldly outlined in white) image - even though the other images as selected (outlined in a less bold white boarder) the keywords are not assigned to them. It's like I have to add the keywords to each image one at a time. I've looked at a bunch of the material online and it's clear to me that you are SUPPOSED to be able to add keywords to multiple images at a time. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the tip, it was really bugging me! Pitty you cant just click on the Keyword in the display rather than have to drag and drop it! I know you can use the control bar but for each item here I think a max of 12 or so are displayed, when you use hundreds of keyword to catalog medical images its not very handy, iphoto was much easier in this regard!
cheers

Metatags for multiple images?

I thought this was a no-brainer, but... apparently not:
I needed to add a keyword to several pictures, so I selected them all (from a very large set), clicked the Metadata pane, and entered my keyword, and hit return.
But it didn't stick.
So I tried to add the keyword to ONE image, and realized that "return" didn't "enter" the keyword, only put an actually paragraph return in the keyword field. Weird, but okay.
I then tried entering it for one image, and hitting "tab". Which made the keyword "stick".
So, I went and selected ALL my images again (very arduous and time consuming), and then entered my keyword, and hit "tab".
But it only assigned that keyword to the FIRST image of all the images I had selected.
I ended up having to do "lift/stamp" and choose only "keyword" from the menu. But, am I crazy, or should the way I initially tried to do this work? I mean, it's pretty common sense, right? Select multiple images, enter keyword, and done?
Hmmmm.
Is there a better way to do this?

Hi Jimbo
The User Manual (available directly within Aperture Help, or online) has at least two mechanisms which will address your question: the +Control Bar+ and +Batch Changes+.
The Aperture Interface > Control Bar
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=2%26section=7
Working with Metadata > Batch Changing Metadata
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=11%26section=7
I've been using both of these techniques, so I know they definitely work for multiple images.
Hope this helps.

"Insufficient data for an image" error

Licensee: Accenture
Adobe Reader 10.0.1
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise x64
Sub Product: ABCpdf .NET Version 6.1.1.5
Hello,
We are using ABC pdf to generate pdf reports in our website and then a mail sending routine executes and mail those reports to our clients. Some times when user recieves the mails then he is not able to see the reports properly using adobe reader X and it shows "Insufficient data for an image" error. These reports are multiple page reports. Although reports saved at our end are genreted properly and we are able to open them proeperly. So is there any work around for this?
Please let me know in case of any query.

I checked out the link, that is the exact error I get when I open the file. I tried the suggested Work Arounds. Changing the zoom does not make the problem go away. Optimizing the file and then saving it, and then opening the newly saved file does not fix it either. Thanks for your time. , though.
This file opens fine in earlier versions of Acrobat, no problem.

"insufficient data for an image" error using Firefox 3/Reader 9

I find some PDF files won't open in Firefox (3.0.3), giving the error "insufficient data for an image". usually the first page displays (partly garbled), then when I try to page down, I get this error. The PDF files are fine -- if I "Save as" they open without problems and they open in IE6.
The problem is not consistent: the same file will open at one attempt and not at the next (and vice versa).
Anyone come across this problem?
Thanks, Jim

The same error occurs in Google Chrome and even in the actual reader itself when trying to open certain PDFs. Adobe is almost impossible to contact directly and there are few clues as to how to resolve this issue on their website.
Not only were there "insufficient data for an image" errors, other errors also displayed, sometimes resulting in freezing the browser and forcing a Ctrl, Alt, Del / end program procedure.
An uninstall and reinstall of Adobe 9 did not resolve the issue. After discussion with another user who did not have Adobe 9 installed, and was still using Adobe 8, it was clear that the issues surround Adobe 9. This was uninstalled and replaced with Adobe 8 and so far all documents that did not previously open now open without a problem.
While one cannot with certainty verify whether this solution works with Firefox, it is clear that Adobe 9 has a number of issues. Backward compatibility may be one of them. Documents constructed to display on older readers obviously create problems for Adobe 9. An interesting point is that even with Adobe 9 installed, by uploading the direct link to the PDF in question to Google Docs, the document displays without a problem within Google Docs itself, though a download of the same reproduces the same errors as outlines above.
So in summary, try uninstalling Adobe 9 and install Adobe 8. NB: it is advisable to close all browsers before initiating the new install to enable browser integration.
Good luck.

Change the zoom settings so you can see the contents of the document. Try reducing the Zoom factor, or click Fit One Full Page To Window. You can make this setting persistent (to avoid changing for every document) in Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Zoom > Fit Page.
Resave the PDF in Acrobat (you can download trial from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=us ) as an Optimized PDF, using the Standard PDF Optimizer settings, or as a Reduced File Size PDF.

Removing keywords from multiple images when the keyword isn't in the list?

So, I know that the method for removing a keyword from multiple images is to select the images, type the keyword in the inspector and press Shift-Return.
However, that doesn't seem to work if the keyword I want to remove is not in the keyword database (i.e. it's not in the keyword HUD).
For example, I deleted the iPhoto keyword group from the keyword HUD because I decided I didn't like that. I've got a bunch of photos that still have keywords like "Beach (iPhoto)". Typing "Beach" Shift-Return does nothing. Typing "Beach (iPhoto)" Shift-Return does nothing.
Adding an iPhoto group back to the HUD and a child keyword of Beach and then Typing "Beach" Shift-Return works, but I can't believe that's how it's supposed to work.
Is that the only way to do this? I've got a lot of those old iPhoto keywords to remove and that's going to be a major pain... there must be a better way.
PowerMac Dual G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I don't know if this will help you or not but it contains the roots of what you would need to script the removal of unwanted and unlisted keywords.
-- script begins
tell application "Aperture"
  -- set the target to the "Smart beetles" album at the top level of the library.
  tell album "Smart beetles" of folder ""
    -- get a list of the images in the album.
    set x to every image version
    -- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
    repeat with i from 1 to x's length
      tell x's item i
        -- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
        delete (every keyword whose name is "Australia" and parents is "Location")
        make new keyword with properties {name:"Sydney", parents:"Location"}
      end tell
    end repeat
  end tell
end tell
-- script ends

Can't add or remove a keyword from MULTIPLE images

Hi:
I've tried the trick of using SHIFT-RETURN (instead of RETURN) to REMOVE a keyword instead of adding it, after you type in the keyword in the Add Keyword box of the Keyword Controls window.
However that only removes the keyword from the current active image:
even if I have multiple images selected, only the current "active" image gets updated.
(Using aperture 2.1.1 on mac os x 10.5.4.)
Any pointers on what the problem might be?
(UPDATE: same problem exists in reverse: trying to ADD keyword to multiple images using one of the keyword buttons, but only currently active image is updated, the other images in my selection are NOT updated with the new keyword.)
Regards, Strathglass
Message was edited by: strathglass

Now that I discovered the problem also exists trying to ADD keywords, I was able to search for and find the answer in these fora:
The solution:
just had to select "Edit->Primary Only" so that the check mark went away from "Primary Only"!

Edit capture time doesn't work for multiple images

Hi all, hope you can help me.
I'm trying to edit capture time for multiple images. I select the images using the grid view, and go to Metadata>Edit Capture Time>Adjust to Specified Date and Time, enter the time, and select "change all." However, it seems that some, or perhaps most of the images don't actually have a new Date Created when this process is done.
I thought perhaps I needed to select 'write metadata to files', but the Date Created seems to revert back prior to writing to the file, or indeed, it doesn't actually change in the first place.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
J

Adobe Standard 9.5.2 after update I get "Insufficient data for an image" error

After updating to Acrobat Standard and Readre 9.5.2, some (but not all) of my pdf files are now opening with the error "Insufficient data for an image." The files open, but they are fuzzy, pixelated and are missing the bates stamp I applied earlier (using a utility from LexisNexis Casemap). I can open the files fine on another computer with Acrobat Standard 9.5.1.
How can I uninstall the 9.5.2, or get it to work again?

Windows 7 64-bit with Samsung SSD on an i5 Lenovo laptop. Yes, I have both Acrobat Standard and Reader 9.5.2 on the machine. Both give the same error when opening the attached file.

Hi osieko,Can you share across any such sample pdf file? Also, what OS are you working upon?You have both Acrobat Standard 9.5.2 and Reader 9.5.2 installed on your machine. Right? One option that you can try is to repair your Acrobat/Reader from Programs in Control Panel and see if that resolves the issue.Otherwise kindly attach a screenshot of the error you are receiving along with any sample pdf file.

Assign Keyword to multiple images

The book which comes with the Aperture3 software says that you can assign a keyword to multiple images without having to assign it individually to each image. Using the keyword HUD I cannot get it to assign a keyword to all images in a stack or images which have been group selected. Also I have looked at the manual on line and it says one can do this. How do they do it using the split view browser and stacks or grouping?

Interesting. I just tried it again, on Aperture Version 3.0.3 running on a 2008 MacBook Pro and OS 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard). I stacked two masters then selected both within the stack, both appeared in the viewer window. I dragged a keyword from the Keyword Hud over one of the pictures in the viewer window. When the photo border changed to green, I let go of the mouse button and Aperture applied the keyword to both masters. Next I selected one photo, then made an adjustment which created a stack of the master and the version. I repeated the procedure and Aperture applied the keyword to both the version and the master.
OH! Do you have "stack picks only" checked in the Photo Filter? That would prevent the keyword from being applied to the lower photos in the stacks.
By the way, the photos don't have to be stacked to apply keywords, other effects, to multiples. They merely have to be selected.

Reader XI (11.0.0) fails to fix "insufficient data for an image" error

after updating to 10.1.4 we were getting numerous "insufficient data for an image" errors on some pages only. These are documents (construction plans) scanned by a client and we have no control over their workflow or methods. The device reported in the pdf file proerties is a Canon iR C3850.
The problem persists in Reader XI on both Win7-32bit and XP Pro SP3 PCs. Rolling back to 10.1.3 was also ineffective. Any ideas why the docmented fix does not work?
Thanks.

Adjust white balance for multiple images at once?

Is this possible to adjust the white balance for multiple images at the same time?
Or adjust the exposure for that matter?

Of course, this is similar to the question you asked in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3964192#3964192
except use White Balance instead of Exposure. For others who might be wondering the same thing:
1) Set the White Balance for one image.
2) Select all of the images you want to copy the White Balance to.
3) Type "O" to initiate the Lift & Stamp HUD
4) Click on the image with the White Balance you want to copy with the with the L&S up arrow.
5) In the L&S HUD uncheck all the checkboxes except Adjustments.
6) Click on the disclosure triangle to the left of Adjustments. If there are other adjustment settings besides White Balance listed, select them and delete them with the delete key.
7) Once all you have is Adjustments White Balance in the L&S HUD, then click the "Stamp Selected Images" button in the L&S HUD.
