Do keywords follow photos in export to PS & on into web albums?

Just returned from 3 month trip and am beginning to organize and assign keywords for about 10,000 images using LR for the first time (4.2). I did not assign keywords during import along the way.
Ultimately after pp, these images will go into albums on my PBase site, where I want keywords assigned to help with search engine placement. They will go from Collections in LR, be exported for work in Photoshop and then be saved into folders to be uploaded to the website. Will keywords I assign now accompany each image along that process so I don't have to re-do it when I upload to PBase?
I will appreciate any links to useful explanations of how this process works. (I did a search and have seen some keyword articles, but none address this specific issue re: web albums).
Thanks,
Karen

In the Lightroom Export dialog box, you can globally tell LR to export keywords (or not, your choice). It actually is in the Metadata section of the LR Export dialog box, you would probably want to select "All".
Individual keywords can be set up to be exported, or not. This happens when you create the keyword, you can check (or uncheck) "Include on Export".
Done properly, as explained above, the keywords appear in your exported photo, and should be recognized by any photographic application or photographic web site.

How to separate single photos from that have been put into an album

I always import and categorize my photos into albums immediately. But I've accidentally imported photos without putting them into an album so they don't appear in the 'events' section. They do however appear in the 'all photos' section along with thousands of other photos. Is there a way to separate photos that are already in an album from those that are not yet in one so I can easily see which ones I haven't organized and sort them from there?

IN Photos?
File -> New Smart Album
Album > is not -> Any

Photos from my computer have duplicated into a album on my ipad, how do I delete the duplicated photos from my ipad2

Photos that I sent to my ipad2 from my computer have gone into the album i wanted them into but also into another album how do I delete the photos that have gone into the wrong album ?

If the photos are in both albums on the iPad are there as the result of you syncing with iTunes, you have to remove the album that you want to delete on the iPad - from within the main photo folder from which you sync your photos - and then sync again to delete that album on the iPad.

After I import my photos how do I group them into an album.

After I import my photos on the IPad how do I set up an album and move them to an album.

You need a third party app to do that on the iPad. There is no way to do that directly on the device under the current iOS. It may be available in iOS 5 if I recall correctly but for now go to the app store and look for apps that allow you to organize photos.
Photo-Sort is one app that comes to mind.

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto? Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet. But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

I have no idea why you would want to do anything
Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

Can a photo be exported from aperture in CMYK profile

Can a photo be exported from aperture in CMYK profileas TIFF jpeg PSD etc .?

Yes, in the export dialogue panel pick a TIFF or PSD setting, and then set the colorsync profile selector to a cmyk-profile,
You need to have installed cmyk-profiles, however;
most of my colorsync profiles were installed by photoshop.
You will find the cmyk-profiles in the system library:
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/

Can I prevent iPhoto from importing keywords with photos?

That's it.
I add some photos of public domain stuff from the web and they may come in with two dozen keywords, not in my system.

No.
Remove them before importing.
Or, aftr importing use the Manage Keywords window to remove them.

How to play book as slideshow in Photos or export it?

Hello,
In iPhoto I made several books and printed. Additionally I could play these book into slide show and export them as m4v into my Apple TV. Now on the Photo I do not see option to create slideshow from book and/or export it?
Does anyone know if this feature was dropped from Photo. I have used this with several books and is something I really enjoy and could not find how to do it.
Appreciate all the help

First, this is one of those shortcomings with the current state of affairs. ID doesn't combine booked documents when exporting spreads.
So why do you want spreads? Is this for reader proofing (readers spreads which is what you'd get if you export a single doc as spreads)? If so, why not just fix the initial view in the PDF properties dialog? Export as single pages, then set the PDF to open as facing pages with cover page.
Or are you trying to impose into printer's spreads? That's not the same thing at all, and ID doesn't impose except through Print Booklet (but you can use that to print to PDF?

Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge

Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge it then the white square reappears. I do not believe the squares are saved

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

I can't rename photos to export after new Photos upgrade! After I edit and got to export, I cannot rename the photo. Please help!

With the new upgrade - Photos - I can't figure out how to rename my edited photos to export. The space is either grayed out or does not give me the option. I spent 30 minutes at the Apple store One-to-One and he couldn't figure it out either. With both my computer and his. He said he couldn't change the description or tag faces. Please tell me step by step how to do this. I cannot post my photos to my blog or Facebook or Pinterest. Thank you very much!

The space is either grayed out or does not give me the option.
Which preset are you using for the export? And which naming scheme do you want?
When you export an edited version as JPEG, you should see these choices:
If you use the option "Use Title", you can change the title before you export the the filename you want to use for the version.
With "Sequential" you can enter a prefix and Photos will add a number.
If all fails, export to a folder on your Desktop and rename the exported files manually.

Cant edit photos after exporting

Hello all. Relatively new to Lightroom here so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
I imported about 220 photos and worked on just about 20 to 25 of them. I then selected those 25 from my collection and exported them to a folder on my PC so I could then import them into Picasa.
After doing that, I returned to Lightroom to edit more from that collection but could no longer do so. I couldnt make any changes to the ones I previously worked on, but more importantly, I couldnt make any changes to any of the ones I hadnt even touched yet. When you export photos from a folder, does Lightroom automatically prohibit you from changing anything else? It seems the only way I can bypass this problem is just to delete the folder and re-import the photos from my camera again, creating a new folder.
Am I missing something? How can I go back and edit photos after exporting? Can it be done?
Thanks!

Hi Judy
On the bottom left of the left tool bar there are two buttons. Import and Export. I exported my photos using the Export button. When you do that, the screen that comes up prompts you to set up an export location on your C drive. So I exported the photos to a folder I set up.
I did not set up a catalogue or export any catalogue.
I seriously doubt that Picasa had any effect on the folders in Lightroom. The two software application are totally separate. You dont directly transfer photos from LR to Picasa. You need to export from LR first to a location on your PC then Import from that file on your PC into LR. So I dont see how Picasa could effect the photos that are in LR.

[tip] search for / selecting NO keywords (selection photos without a keyword)

Probably it is old news but I couldn't find it here that fast.
I have 20.000 photos, some have a keyword(s) some have not. So I searched for a selection of photographs without a keyword. But there is none.
The trick is to add a special keyword you normally not use like (only) "_" (underscore) to all photos without a keyword. But there is no way to select photos wihtout a keyword... So I came up with a two step strategy and this trick only cost 2-3 minutes with 20.000 photos:
Add the "_" keyword to all you photos.
Select all photos with a real keyword by shift clicking on all keywords tags except "_".
Remove the "_" keyword from those photos.
Now select the "_" keyword or search on the "_" keyword.
A how to, in 14 steps:
1. Hit G, goto library (in left panel) and click on "all photographs"
2. Select all photos by pressing ctrl-a
3. Wait till LR is ready displaying all used keywords in the right keywords panel
4. In right panel under keywording/keyword tags add the keyword "_"
5. Wait till LR is ready updating all your photos (20.000 photos: 1 minute)
6. Goto "Keyword tags" in the left panel
7. Select the (suppose the second) keyword just after the "_" keyword by left clicking.
8. Scroll down till the end in the keyword list
9. Now, shift click on the last keyword
10. You now selected all keywords except the "_" keyword and all are highlihted
11. Select all photo's (ctrl-a)
12. Wait till LR shows all the keywords in the Keywording/keyword tags panel on the right
check: the keyword "_" should have no asterix like "_*" if so: goto step 1!
13. Remove the "_" keyword and press enter
14. Wait till LR is ready
From now on while selecting the "_" keyword or searching on the keyword "_" LR will only show the photos without a (real) keyword.
Of course, as soon as you add keyword(s) to your foto(s) you have to delete the "_" keyword.
Speed tip: when starting keywording, select the photo you like to add real keywords, ctrl-k brings you directly to the keyword tags panel in edit mode, hit backspace (to delete the "_" keyword and start typing your keywords and hit enter or tab when done. Then immediately (of course) the photo dissapears from your "_" keyword selection photos and the next photo is selected and is waiting for you to hit ctrl-k and start again. Look mam, "no mouse used!"
Have fun!

>I have 20.000 photos, some have a keyword(s) some have not. So I searched for a selection of photographs without a keyword. But there is none.
There is actually, and it is much simpler:
Using the Find Panel, choose Text: Keywords and Rule: Are Empty.

Aperture has stopped showing some, but not all, keywords on photos

I imported some new photos today and noticed that Aperture seems to have stopped displaying some, but not all, of my keywords. I'm noticing this on a large number of my existing photos.
For example, I've selected a photo and the Keywords tab of the Metadata pane lists: Amanda, iPhoto Original, Judy, and Zoo. That appears to be correct. However, the Keywords field in the top of the Metadata pane only shows iPhoto Original, and the only keyword displayed in the grid view is iPhoto Original.
Switching to a different metadata display does not help, nor does rebuilding the library. Reassigning the keywords seems to help, but that's not really an option for > 7,000 photos.
Anyone know why this is happening? Can I fix this?

PowerMac Dual G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Aperture 1.1.2

After poking around with BBEdit in my Aperture library, I think I see the problem. I chose a photo that Aperture won't display all the keywords and re-added them. I then compared all the files in the library for that photo with the same files in a backup library I had set aside.
It appears that at some point Aperture got the IPTC keywords out of sync with the actual keywords on the photos. Looking at the Version-1.apversion file (which is actually a .plist file), I can see that both copies have the same keywords on them (called tags in the plist), but the IPTCProperties.keywords summary does not reflect all the tags actually on the photo. Aperture appears to just display the keywords stored in the IPTC keyword summary instead of checking to see what keywords the photo actually has.
So, the keywords are still there, but the summary that Aperture displays is wrong and a library rebuild doesn't appear to rebuild the keyword summary.
My options at this point appear to be either re-apply all my keywords or write a tool to fix it for me (I guess being a developer has it's perks). I'll definitely be filing a bug on this...

Pixilated Photos When Exported for Web

When I export from Aperture to a Web Gallery, my photos get pixelated. The originals in Aperture do not look like this, nor do the photos when viewed as a straight JPEG. I originally started with iPhoto to edit and organize, but have since moved my library over to Aperture. Are there issues with resizing photos? I typically do 5x7.
I've tried several different paths, with similar results:
* Using Aperture to publish from a gallery template
* Using iPhoto to export a photo album to iWeb which I publish to a folder
* Publishing from iWeb to .Mac web page
* Publishing from iWeb to a .Mac Web Gallery
A good example is the middle photo in the second row titled "Hot Bodies". The edges of the white lettering and graphics looks horrible in slideshow.

or this photo from gallery
http://gallery.mac.com/dennis.vogel#100003/USGP_061507-0037&bgcolor=black
I'm seeing similar results on Windows and Mac, using Firefox and Safari.
I'm getting a little desperate, as I've invested a lot of time organizing and editing my photos! <sigh> Assistance greatly appreciated.

Check that the export preset you are using hasn't been changed from what you think it should be (in terms of x/y pixel size, PPI, JPEG quality setting, etc.)
