Finding images w/o keywords

I just run into a situation where I realized I have images without keywords in the library... it seems there is now way of finding images without keywords, or is there? I have 15000 images in the lib

I couldn't quite follow the instructions on the referred thread, but I figured out another way:
1) select all photos and add them to quick collection
2) on the left panel, under "Library", check that QC really contains all images
3) While all photos still selected, on the right panel, under "Keywording"-> Keyword tags, select all applied tags, and copy them to the clipboard
4) open notepad (or equivalent), and paste the keywords there.
5) search&replace all asterisks (*) with empty strings
6) copy the result to the clipboard, and paste the keywords into the search field under "Find" (LR's left panel). Other search options should be "Keywords" and "Containing"
7) When the search is done, remove the found photos from the quick collection (hit "B")
8) The images left in the QC are the ones without any keywords applied

Finding images with no keywords

Is it possible to search the images stored through Lightroom 1.1 and find images without any keywords?

When it is working. Some have found that particular function to be broken. Seems to be working with Build 352900 (Internationalization Build). Wasn't with 350273.

Find images with parent keyword tag only?

I don't know how to describe this problem succinctly, so I don't know how to search for it in the knowledgebase or forums. Can anybody help?
I want a keyword hierarchy with "US" as parent keyword of 50 states name keywords. I have many images with state keywords, but I also have some images that are tagged only with "US" but no state tag, as they are not specific to a state.
How do I *easily* find only the images tagged "US" but with no state tags? Clicking on "US" in the keyword panel shows me all images tagged with "US" and all with state tags, but I just want the ones tagged "US".
I can use "Find" to find "US" images NOT CONTAINING "AL AK AR AS AZ..." by enumerating all 50 states, but that's a terribly awkward way filter out images tagged with state names. I can't see a button or filter that shows only the images with a parent tag but without child tags
Any ideas?
Thanks ahead of time,
Dave

John, this seemed like a great idea. I tried it, and it seemed to work. There was an immediate problem because when there are lots of keywords it means a lot of scrolling and it can be hard to locate rail among rain rate rails etc. because the font is so small. A second problem was that you are forced to mouse scroll - cant page down or up or use home or end. That can be a lot of scrolling. a third problem is that it seems you have to reselect flat view each time.
a more serious problem is that it seems to have stopped working. I'm not quite sure what i did but i have a keyword verb with 5 items and about 1125 child keywords (such as to sing to run etc.) for 1125 photos i click on the verb arrow in the keywords so i bring up 1125 pictures of verbs. now i go to metadata switch to flat view. i can now see "verb" as a keyword in the metadata panel, but when i click on it, nothing happens - I still have 1125 selected photos. Furthermore i cannot click on any other keyword in the metadata panel - that is nothing happens when i click. if I return it to hierarchical view it is fine. then Lightroom 4 64-bit stopped working. when i restarted the program it was still in flat view and i was now able to click on the metadata panel and see appropriate collections. then it stopped working again after i clicked on the keyword panel (but did not actually select anything). in total i have about 3000 keywords and about 100000 photos on local and network drives. it looks to me like flat view has some serious problems, but perhaps its something i am doing....
i also have to say that even if it worked perfectly, i still might prefer other solutions because scrolling up and down for 3000 keywords can be tedious - its difficult to prevent overshooting and undershooting the mark. if the keyword and metadata panels could be undocked that would probably be a big help.

Finding images with keyword tags in PE 12 Organizer

I am experiencing difficulties while finding images with keyword tags.
I am using the Organizer of Photoshop Element 12 (French version) and I think I follow the procedure described in “ADOBE ELEMENTS ORGANIZER Help and tutorials” (page 168 in the English version or alternatively 150 in the French one), i.e. :
In the Keyword Tags panel, I click the ">" symbol of the keyword of which I want to know the relevant images
Whatever the search option (Select either Hide Best Match Results Show/Hide Close Match Results, or Show/Hide Results That Do Not Match), I am not able to select and show only the Best Match Results.
Please note also that the Tip
To automatically display close matches after a search, choose Edit > Preferences > General, or Adobe Elements Organizer 11 > Preferences > General, and select Show Closely Matching Sets For Searches, and then click OK.
does not seem to work with Adobe Elements Organizer 12

Thks
You are right, my problem is to select only the close matches.
Based on your comment, I am afraid it’s one of the recurring problem in PE whatever the version (PE11 or PE12)

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported? Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

Finding images that have not been tagged?

How can I search/find images in LR4 that have been imported though not tagged?
Thanks.

There should be a Smart Collection called "Without Keywords" in the Collections Pane of the Library Module. That will automatically contain what you are looking for.
If that isn't there, click on All Photographs then use the Filter Bar>Metadata and filter on Keywords....the top entry (None) will be what you are looking for.

Finding images that have been 'protected' while in camera

Hello, I was wondering if anybody knows how to find images that you protect while they're in your camera? I have a Canon 5D Mark II, and I can select images to 'lock' or 'protect' .. I use that to mark images that I believe are key images while on a shoot.
With Photo Mechanic I can select 'tagged' images .. and those images I have marked in my camera will be selected.
I've tried to figure out if its something I can find in exif .. and have had no luck.
Please help!

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched. I had to manually locate. Is there a fix for this?

I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge? I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge. I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

JohnM.
I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4? I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck. It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files. thanks gain.

Lion 10.7.4 Console: Could not find image named 'ForwardArrow'.

I found following message presented in syslog since today evening, however, the system is running fine so far.
12-5-22 下午10:25:44.345 Console: Could not find image named 'BackArrow'.
12-5-22 下午10:25:44.345 Console: Could not find image named 'ForwardArrow'.
could someone to explain what was caused this error message? and how can I solve the problem

It could mean that these two files are missing from the Console.app, where it should go into the folder Resources of the folder Contents. For some reasons, they don't seem to get installed with Lion under certain circumstances.
Right-click Console.app (in the Applications/Utilties folder) and open those folders, then copy the two files BackArrow.png and ForwardArrow.png into the Resources folder).
On my machines, this helped the messages go away (end even stopped some sporadic freezing :-)
I just took the corresponding files from the Console.app of my previous Snow Leopard installation (same place).

How do I find photos without a keyword tag?

How do I find photos without a keyword tag?
And by the way a further question regarding keyword tags remains unanswered...Why is there a difference between the number next to the keyword and the actual index number in the keyword folder?

I will try and explain in more detail to ensure we don't talk past each other.
I'm in "Catalog" and "All Photographs" is highlighted.
I selected to show the "Index Number" under "Library View Options".
In "Keyword List" I have main keywords such as Europe, Africa and Asia with no number to the right of it.
If I open the Europe keyword I have a list of countries each of them with a number next to them.
Next to Spain there is now showing the number 46.
I open "Spain" by clicking on the arrow to the right of the number.
Now all the photos with the Spain tag is shown but there are only 23 photo. Under Portugal there is 80 shown but only 40 photos is shown. Under Ireland the keyword only 11 is shown but once open there are 1132 photos.
There is not one keyword with the correct number next to it.
As a fairly new LR user it just appears to me that the two function don't "speak" or "correlate" with each other.

Firefox can't find images that are there. ALL other browsers can!! Durrr - it just started happening on live an test websites to which there have been no changes

Try www.avivastringquartet.co.uk
You will not see pictures on the index.html page.
Try it in Chrome,Opera, IE and all is fine
Look at source and look for image by clicking on <img src="..."- says it can't find image.
Also Firefox does not follow the CSS standard as the others do.
Current OS is windows XP

The pictures appear OK for me.
With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see the [[site identity button]] article) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.
The encoding for the site is set to "UTF- 8" rather than "UTF-8"

Finding image in jar file

This took me by surprise:
I assumed that JVM would find image files, e.g. used in (JFrame).setIconImage(img) when these images are inside a jar file with the same path. I am using something like:
Image   icon=jframe.getToolkit().getImage(img_path);what works when running JVM with class files and images in directories, but not when in jar file. img_path is relative. Classes will be found as expected, but not the image files!
Do I do something wrong?

Edited by: ThomasH_usually on Oct 1, 2008 11:48 AM

I encountered this same problem before, whereby I wanted to be able to run my code from within an IDE (find image files from the file system) for development, and also to be able to run my code from within an executable jar (find image files from inside the jar) for release. I used the following utility method to get an image URL:
public static URL getImageUrl(String fileName)
    // try to get the URL as a system resource
    URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource(fileName);
    if (url == null)
        // try to get the URL directly from the filename
        try
            url = new URL("file:" + fileName);
        catch (Exception e)
    return url;
}You can then use the resulting URL instead of the image path, in your case as follows:
Image   icon=jframe.getToolkit().getImage(Utils.getImageUrl(img_path));Paul.

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.

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
