Fixing duplicate keyword problem in LR 2.2

I have imported Controlled Vocabulary into my existing keyword library. Unfortunately I already had existing keywords tagged to a couple of hundred photos. As a result I now have duplicate keywords for each photo. I realize I may have compounded my problems by saving the keywords directly to photos(CTRL-S) after the import and before attempting to delete duplicate keywords.
Is there a way to delete entire library of keywords and re-import CV without deleting keywords from the existing XMP files? Then I could continue keywording photos using a fresh CV library and edit existing duplicates when I had the time. Obviously I am hoping to avoid the worst case scenario of re-keywording all my photos.
Note: I sent a related question on a previous thread(on 2/7)and never received a response...

Jim, I'm in a similar workflow attempting to use a single controlled vocabulary across several libraries. The problem I run into is when adding new keywords to the vocabulary, I have to remember to export the whole keyword list and update all of my catalogs before going on to the next task. Also, as in your case, if a keyword is deleted from the vocabulary or moved to a different tree there is no easy way to duplicate the change across all libraries.
In the same way that all of my catalogs share a common set of develop presets, are you aware of any way to have several lightroom catalogs work from a single set of keywords?

Duplicate Keyword Problem

I've obviously made some huge error while adding keywords to my images. See the attached smart album pop up. Despite the fact I've tried to enter my keywords exactly the same using a constant taxometry and nomenclature-- I've got dups of the same keywords over and over again (San Francisco is the perfect example below). I know that the keywords do match-- there might be the occasional capitalization error, but there isn't hidden characters or extra spaces that would have defined a new keyword.
First off-- what have I done wrong when adding keywords to my images?
Secondly-- is there an easy way to merge all the duplicate keywords into one?
Thanks. Long live Aperture.

This has happened to me also. What you need to do is to find out which pictures have the "wrong" San Francisco. You can for example choose just one of them and see what shows up. Delete the keyword from that file and then replace it with the "right" San Francisco from the keywords HUD. You can just drag it from the HUD to the file so this process is really not that hard. When you think you are done - rebuild the database and see how much work you have left. Moving on into the future tedious as it may be you can avoid this by using the keyword HUD or keyword keys to add keywords to files. Aperture treats you badly if you type the word in yourself. If you have embedded the misspelled keywords in the files with other programs you will not be able to eliminate them from the pop-up - as Aperture will not overide those errors in the originals.

Fix duplicate contacts problem with iOs 5

Anyone know if the long standing duplicate files problem with File History has been fixed yet?

There are loads of public threads about the duplicate files problem
with Windows 8/8.1 File History backup system.
From all the threads I've looked at, there seems to be no solution,
and no acknowledgement from MS that they can even repro the problem
(which surprises me considerably as there are so many people who
notice the problem).
Is anyone aware of whether MS (may) have fixed this for Win10?
Are MS aware of the problem and if they're able to fix it?
Dave - with many GB of duplicated files in File History :)

Hmm, is that the attitude MS would recommend? :)
Why would I care what Microsoft would recommend?
Clearly you don't, and you appear to have missed my smiley. Calm down
Noel, many of us are as annoyed by aspects of modern Windows as you
are. :)
I'm all about making Windows actually WORK/./
Aren't we all? Windows is software I use too many hours every day, I
along with many millions of others need it to work really well. You
are not alone.
When they implement something that doesn't work, and even if it did work doesn't do what's needed - and/beyond that/ they remove features people DO need (such as the GUI for Windows Backup), I see no wrong in advising people of the way things
really are.
File History essentially does work - it's saved me a couple of times
in the past couple of weeks. It just has a highly annoying habit of
creating 100% duplicates of some files for no apparent reason. If MS
have fixed that I won't have any known complaints about it.
If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. I generally like it, I
just want to see that its fixed.

Joe Schorr - When can we expect a fix to the numerous keyword problems?

Joe, when can we expect a fix for the numerous keyword problems? Is this a priority?
There are so many problems that I’ll be very surprised if you can resolve them all on the first attempt. I doubt you have a complete list but I feel safe in saying they’ve all been mentioned here in one form or another. You would be doing yourself and the customers a service if you took the unprecedented step of providing your list so that it can be reviewed for accuracy. I’m finding new problems... or at least I think I am. I hate to waste your time reporting problems others have already reported or worse yet, problems I’ve reported — as I’ve lost track there are so many.
Please let us know what is going on with this. You’ve made progress on the performance issues (though I think I speak for everyone with a PPC system that it’s still not what it should be – and I have a G5 Quad w/7 GB RAM and Quadro FX 4500 card. Aperture should be smokin’ but it’s not...)
I look forward to hearing from you....

I have a 500 GB hard drive; that's how I've avoided the issue, to date. But you consider a 2000 shot bat mitzvah a small shoot, so I have know problem acknowledging you shoot a lot more than I do.
The key point about Aperture, to date, is that it doesn't add ANY data to original RAW files, period. Everything it appears to do -- everything is just a set of modifications to the master. This applies to sharpening, this applies to shadows and highlights, this applies to cropping... and it applies to metadata.
As for archival, etc., ... if you're archiving outside of Aperture... why not just use multiple Aperture libraries? It's a bit inconvenient (to the extent that it takes 15 seconds to change the setting and re-launch), but it gets around the problem. I mean, if you're archiving external to Aperture in original RAW format, you're not only "losing" the metadata... you're losing every single change you've made to the file. Truly, no editing functionality of anything would you be using in this scenario.

Duplicate Keywords in Keywording Panel

I kind of have a lack of knowledge about keyword hierarchies already installed and being used. This question is going to be less than together.
I will have imported all my photos into Lightroom already. Their associated keywords should be in the Keyword Panel. (I have not done this yet.)
The bulk of the imported will have been keyworded in Nikon View 6.0.0. (I had no flat keyword list or hierarchical keyword list already in Nikon View.) I keyworded these photos into Nikon View's IPTC from looking at a independent paper list. The rest of the recent photos imported will have been keyworded inside Lightroom and/or keyworded from Nikon View NX2 and imported. [I haven't decided yet which one I will keyword from, Lightroom or NX2...unless you have a suggestion.]
The Keyword Hierarchy will have been made up after the bulk of my photos have been imported... In short I'm trying to give you a future scenario of my work flow at this point so I can start asking questions.
I have read of people having trouble with duplicate keywords being added to the Lightroom Keyword List Panel after they get their keyword list/hierarchy set up. The following thoughts about unwanted duplicate keywords turning up in a keyword hierarchy I read and am not 100% clear on:
'The trouble with hierarchical keywords is they always end up with child keywords somehow re-appearing at the top level. It can happen when they re-import a picture that's been processed in another app. Or when a group of child keywords becomes duplicated in more than one part of the hierarchy. Usually because they have changed the hierarchy at some point and imported an older file. Or they changed the hierarchy on a laptop and then brought files over to the main PC. Something always upsets the logical structure they have put into place. So rather than continue with this problem, they have gone back to a flat list in Lightroom.'
Could someone spell out what is above so I am 100% sure I think I know what is it saying? Are there any more instances I could get an unwanted duplicate keyword or keywords in the Panel? So it is not a good idea to change the Hierarchy after you get it set up? How about additions?
I'm scared now to start a hiearchy! Scared for problems it might cause in the future. I like the idea you can filter search on a whole category or subcategory. It's easier to zip down to find a keyword. Especially with 700 plus keywords. I'm scared to impliment it. Could anyone explain? Thank You So Much for any information!

In my opinion, someone has written something that implies a terrible thing has happened (duplicate keywords), when in fact duplicate keywords can be avoided by maintaining a structured workflow; then if a duplicate keyword does appear (because you didn't maintain the structured workflow, or like most people, you just plain made a mistake), this isn't a terrible thing; in fact, this is something that might take 20 seconds to fix in Lightroom.
The structured workflow I am thinking of is the following: if you have keywords added by other software, import all (yes ALL) of the photos into Lightroom, and then clean up the hierarchy to be the way you want it to be. Then, there is never another instance of importing photos that already have keywords. From that point forward, do all of your keywording in Lightroom, and you will not likely get duplicate keywords.
And if you do find a keyword that is out of place, you have several choices:
Panic, and never use Lightroom again
Gouge your eyes out so you can't see the problem any more
stay calm and drag the keyword to where it should be in the hierarchy
As opposed to keywords out of place, duplicate keywords also give you choices. You can use choice #1 or choice #2 to solve the problem, or you can (Choice #3) simply apply the correct keyword to the photos, and then delete the duplicate.

Over my several years of using Lightroom, I do find that I accidentally put keywords in the wrong place. The problem is fixed, via choice #3 above, in under 20 seconds. Also, over my time using Lightroom, my photography subject matter has changed, or my organizing needs have changed, and I have re-arranged parts of my hierarchy to suit my new needs, and/or added new top level keywords or middle level keywords or bottom level keywords. It is relatively painless and simple. The biggest problem (and yes, it is a problem) is when you have to drag a keyword from the top of the hierarchy to the bottom (beyond the bottom of the screen), scrolling isn't as smooth as it should be, but it still works. This is hardly a reason to avoid hierarchical keywords.
Honestly, I think someone has placed bad thoughts in your head.

Lightroom Upgrade at a client - sucess? - keyword problem deal breaker

Hi
Just a small report, on how upgrading a client's LR 2 catalog went.
Background: The client is a professional photographer specialized on garden photography. Her customers are gardening and lifestyle magazines who publish her photos regularly as illustrations to various articles. She has a professional Canon EOS 1Ds MK III equipment and shoots exclusively raw. In a shoot around 300 to 1000 images are shot. The Lightroom catalog has around 20,000 images currently.
In Lightroom she uses mostly DAM and some basic development features, images are delivered either as raw of as JPEG images to the clients. Keywording is especially important. She has an extensive hierarchical list of plants most of them multiword keywords with spaces, and lots of other keywords indicating if images were sent to clients and other stuff.
The upgrade went just very well. I exported the catalog to a new intermediate catalog without previews, installed LR3 and imported this intermediate catalog into LR3 generating new previews from scratch. The hardware is modest, and some functional tests (especially switching images in develop, spot tool, and adjustment brushes) revealed that everything performs well enough.
Then she asked me where she would have benefits from using the new version. And then I told the whole benefit story, which can be read everywhere.
- New process version, better details and noise reduction. She asked where she can see it? Hmm, I switched to 1:1 view changing the process versions, not really much to see on Canon 1Ds Mk III files. Even with noisier files, it was hard to tell, what has actually changed. So only a 4:1 view very tiny changes were visible. The impact on her business? Near to nothing as she does not print large. The differences would hardly be seen in the magazine prints.
- Lens corrections and perspective control: does not really matter in garden photography, but she could see some occasional usefullness.
- Publish services: no real need for it
- Print packages: nope
- Slightshow improvements: no use for it
- Performance improvements: nothing visible
- Effects: completely superfluous
- New import dialog: at first glance a hindereance, as she has to get used to it
Then she asked: did they correct the keyword handling, when entering keywords witrh spaces? (You know the nasty bug, where keyword completion is broken at keywords with spaces). We checked (I knew it wasn't fixed), and of course she was heavily disappointed. Thus, after 2 years of development nothing new for her, keyword bug not fixed? Of course she said, that I should tell her, when keyword completion works, then and only then would she consider an upgrade.
So, despite all the bells and whistles about the new version, I doubt that for many photographers the benefits are really so overwhelming in the real world. It is a pitty that Adobe continues to neglect the DAM features (some fresh ideas for client management would be great), that existing features aren't consequently implemented (esp. the possibilities to query the catalog, and keywording), and that existing bugs are constantly ignored and not fixed.
So, please Adobe, get keyword completion fixed for keywords with spaces immediately !!! This is what professionals need. A catalog without reliable DAM features, renders the catalog concept to a great extend useless. Please listen!
Disclaimer: As I am not a professional for me the situation is not the same. I just report my experience I had, with a photgrapher, who needs a proper asset management. I recommended Lightroom to her because of the overall package (she moved from Cumulus), so I feel a little obliged to help her in this issue. In my case, as a user of a modest Lumix G camera system, I would consider the IQ benefits more signifcant. I don't know, if this is a general observation.
Kind regards

So the over-riding conclusion from your experience with just one photographer is that Lightroom is 'useless', and this compels you to demand, in bold type, that Adobe must listen?
That Lightroom has issues and areas for ongoing development is obvious, and Adobe won't dispute this. But rants like yours add nothing and are unhelpful. Julie's response is extremely tactful and far more moderate than your post deserves.
Dear Mr. Webster
I think when you post, you should definitely change your tone. Julie simply answered my original post by acknowledging the problem, your accusation that I did not use appropriate "netiquette" is ridiculous. Posts like yours are a real problem of this forum.
I simply gave a user story example to show that not for everybody the shiny advertised new features provide real benefits and that paying attention to a thorough implementation of features can be equally important. I think Julie has recognized this. And the issue is nothing for ongoing developments. Lightroom supports keywords with spaces, so it has to be done consequently. Keywording is essential for DAM. If keywording gets too tedious or leads to wrong keyword assignments, then DAM is really pointless.
The intention of my post was to point Adobe to an apparently small problem, which has quite a big impact to people, who depend on good DAM features. The issue is nothing new, existed since the first release of Lightroom, but nothing was done about it, unfortunately. Now that Lightroom addressed keywords with spaces even with a new preference setting, it was fair to assume, that they had done something about it with care. This isn't so obviously. The issue was discussed in previous threads, but did not get any visible notice from Adobe. I am glad that this has changed now with Julie's post.
In no way did I say that Lightroom is useless or even that I regard it to be so. I merely said that the catalog concept is to a great extend (not completely) useless, if its implementation is sloppy. DAM starts with data entry and only after doing this, you can use it to your benefit. Therefore it has to be efficient, which currently is not. Lightroom is criticized by a large number of users that it is forcing them into a catalog system instead of just providing access to the file system. Long existing bugs like this, likely proves them right in their view.
The competition (I mean complete workflow solutions) is not really better than Lightroom with respect to DAM features, however, my take is, that the developers should be equally ambitious with the quality of the catalog system as they are with IQ, especially if the achievements in IQ are apparently less relevant to owners of high end camera systems. (I could be wrong with the last statement, but it would be interesting to hear if others have similar observations).
Kind regards

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands. Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-co

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone. Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete. I really don't want to do that again!

I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

Why new firmware may be a good fix for screen problems

When I read on the Internet Thursday that some people had reported that the firmware had fixed their dark screen problems, I wondered if this was possible, and was this a good fix. I had taken my Touch to the Apple store earlier, and had the screen problem confirmed, but no exchange was possible at the moment, because the Touch was out of stock.
Where I work we have a number of small LCD screens that have a narrow viewing angle like the Touch, but being commercial monitors, also have knobs to control brightness and most importantly contrast. I started playing with the contrast and was surprised that I was able to exactly duplicate the problem my Touch had, just with contrast. The contrast adjustment on this narrow view LCD controlled viewing angle, and I could duplicate the negative image thing perfectly. I now had great hope that the firmware would in fact fix my Touch.
When I got home from work, I installed the firmware update to my week 36 Touch, and was thrilled to see all video issues gone. We need to remember that Apple has a lot more control over the LCD display through software than we have. We only have brightness! I mean if you had to adjust the contrast knob on your new computer monitor would you label the monitor as defective?
I believe that Apple knew by serial number which Touches needed adjustment to the video based on LCD origin, and applied them with this software. They merely tuned the contrast knob, and some other video settings that we don't have! (It would be nice if they added a contrast slider, and maybe color saturation level, to the brightness level already included!)
I have no intention of returning my Touch now for exchange, will count myself as lucky that my video got tweaked to perfection, and I have no dead pixels in my week 36 Touch. I understand that some people are never going to be happy with all of this, that in a perfect world everything would be great right out of the gate, all the time. But...
Enjoying my Touch a lot. A great gadget.
Now if we could only have those 3rd party applications!

This is true. With any LCD screen you can adjust contrast and color temperature which seem to be the combination working against week 36 and 37 owners. It makes sense Apple could control these settings through a software update. I suspect as you have stated, the 1.1.1 firmware upgrade does a serial check and selectively alters certain settings to compensate for the difference in the screens.
I say this because I still strongly suspect that Apple did change screens, screen coating or something in the hardware betweent he 37 and 38 lines (or early on in the 38 line) because there are reports with screen shots to confirm inconsistency int he effect of the 1.1.1 firmware update fixing the problem.
If the firmware update works for you, fantastic! If it does not then I would return it. If I recieved a week 36 and week 37 device from an on-line order I would return unopened to the nearest Apple store to avoid a restocking fee. If I didn't have an Apple store I would do the return through whoever I did the on-line order with.
The reason I would do this is that I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to displays. I feel like if I'm paying $300-$400 for one of these devices my desire to have the best screen would take priority over my need to own the device quickly, but that's just me.

Unlikely. Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

Hi all,
Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
Please help !

Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5

Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5?

Only Apple knows the answer to whether or not there is a verified problem and if so when will a fix be released. As is their custom, Apple does not talk about these things and the rules of these communities prohibit speculation about future udates or upgrades. It is probably safe to say if a fix is deemed necessary it will be called OS X 10.8.6.

My "fix" to print problems in LR (using MS XP)

Having had the same problems printing from LR as many others are complaining about, I thought that I might give my 2 cents to what I did to solve (?) the problem. I have to run with current setting in a while to be convinced that it is not just an intermittent fix though ;-)
My problem when printing from LR was that the print came out much too Cyan-Green and somewhat dark when color management where handled by LR. When the same photo was exported to PS Elements (PSE) in Tiff with the Pro-photo color profile embedded, adjustments from LR, and printed using the same driver setting and color management, the print came out fine.
I must mention that I have had fine printout in previous LR versions but I'm not sure when the problem started. But at least from LR version 1.3, 1.3.1 I have had problems printing a proper print.
As I'm not 100% sure what caused the fix, I don't want to leave much info un-documented, so I start by describing my system etc.:
- Athlon 64 3500+ with 2 GB RAM
- Lacie 119 LCD monitor (calibrated with a ColorVision Spyder 2)
- Epson Stylus Photo 890 printer; an old (6-7 years) 6 color dye-sub printer, but it can still produce very good prints. (It is BTW, the A4 printer version of Epson 1290).
- Microsoft XP service pack 2
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3.1.
- Adobe Photoshop Elements 5
- Latest Epson 890 printer drivers ver. 5.21/P (from 2004)
- ICC profiles for various Epson printer paper
- Paper used: Ilford Printasia Photo Glossy Paper (but I have tried Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper as well with same results)
I used following setting:
- In printer driver: "No color management" was selected
- LR and PSE color management; printer profile: Epson Stylus Photo 890 Premium Glossy Photo Paper, Rendering Intent: Perceptual
. LR Print sharpening: High
- LR Print resolution: 360ppi
When the photo was opened in PSE and I had printed a small print with above mentioned printer driver/color management settings. The print looked good, but with a little magenta color cast, so I thought that if I used a different printer profile this might help (I have no ICC profile for the Ilford paper). So I chose the "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" instead and printed again, and this time the photo looked as it did on my calibrated monitor. I have to admit I was a bit delighted even though it was from printed from PSE and not from LR, but seeing that color management worked in other applications was a relief.
In PSE, I also I tried changing to a different Rendering Intent before changing printer profile, but with no success.
Another thing that helped further was to change Media Type in printer driver from "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" to "Photo Paper".
After the print success in PSE I went back to LR and changed the Printer Profile to "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" (still with "No color management" and "Photo Paper" selected in printer driver) and printed the photo again. Now the photo looked as good as it did in PSE (!!!???).
Now I have made a few printer preset in LR for various print sizes, and the prints look fantastic. Every time! Do I have to mention that I am a happy guy ? :-)
BTW, remember that a printer preset also saves the printer driver settings. Forgetting this can easily cause some unexpected results.
The only thing is that, I still do not know what fixed the problem, and I am a bit worried that the problem might come back again. Maybe the print related changes made in PSE and the following selection of the same settings in LR did - somehow - "synchronize" LR to a proper color management. Sounds weird, but if it works...
I hope this long explanation was useful to - at least - some of you, who experience printer problems in LR. LR is a fantastic application, and I enjoy using it, but the printer problems has really been frustrating.
Good luck!
/Per

Little unclear about the border thing- you say it prints with a too wide border, but also say:
When I print the image with this set up, it still is printed without a border.
It's a factor of your printer, though; some can never print without a margin around all sides; this can be a border, or cut off. Good news, though; you can have a 5 x 7 borderless, or with any size border you wish if you print on larger paper, and trim to taste.
