FotoStation wipes ACR settings from .xmp

My employer has recently decided we need to use FotoStation (mostly because we work over a network, and FS is good for that... anyway) to organise, and apply metadata to, our photographs and videos. I do still use Bridge for previewing, ratings and making adjustments via ACR.
I have noticed that when I have updated the metadata via Fotostaion, it removed ratings and ACR information from the .xmp file in Bridge (not the file itself, just the specific ACR/ratings data within). I made sure that, when I made the changes in FotoStation I selected to "Append new text to existing text" (the other option is to "Replace the existing text"). It definitely removes the ACR information because I tested it out by opening an image in ACR, editing it, clicking done (definitely clicked done not cancel, changes seen in Bridge) then updated the metadata via FotoStation, went back to Bridge and the ACR changes were gone. I opened the "File Info" and read the "Raw Data" before and after the FS edit and the info was there before and gone after.
SO is there a way to not allow this to happen? FYI I will be posting this to the FotoStation forum as well, I just want to cover both bases. FotoStation doesn't feel it is necessary to have a forum apparently. I'll provide camera and application information below.
Windows 7 x64
Working over a network
Adobe Bridge CS6 (v5.0.2.4)
Camera Raw 8.4
FotoStation 7.0 (Build 459)
Canon EOS 5D (.CR2 files)
No I cannot work off the network, or get newer versions of applications (at this current time); what I have there is all I have to work with at this point in time.
I will, for now, simply add the metadata using Bridge but I would still like to see this issue resolved if possible as it is the preferred method utilised by my employer and not my decision to change. My input is not required

I don't have FotoStation b459 only b60*. I can confirm that you need to rebuild the thumbnails in FotoStation to see metadata changes done in Adobe Bridge. This forces FotoSation to re-index the image.
There should be no unintentional metadata lost when going back and forth between FS and Bridge. However, you should check that your FotoStation metadata configuration includes the Adobe and IPTC name spaces and fields you need. If not you can create them manually or import from an image. The FotoStation documentation shows that this is easy to do.
As an aside I find that Adobe CS5 deletes metadata information in fields that are deprecated or no longer belong to the Adobe name space. This is a potential serious problem for digital images generated using legacy software and hardware.
As a FotoStation user for the last 4 years, in my opinion, your employer is correct. FotoStation is one of the best software for metadata and digital asset management. Good luck!

Exporting / Copying settings from ACR Smart Object

How do I export the RAW processing settings from an ACR Smart Object in Photoshop?
If I use Save Settings it only allows exporting a subset of the settings (no spot removal and local adjustments).
If I use Export Settings to XMP it doesn't seem to do anything.
The only way I've found to do it is to Save Image (from the Smart Object in ACR), save as a DNG, then use ExifTool to extract the XMP. Surely there must be an easier way?

I ABSOLUTELY agree...... That's exactly, I believe, how it's SUPPOSED to work.
Except that mine didn't.
I opened a 12.2 MP RAW file.
And made absolutely no changes to the workflow uptions at the time of opening.
But instead of "Image Sizing" saying "Default 12.2 MP", it said "3.6MP"
Resize was turned OFF
Width was 2321 px and height was 1824 px, BOTH GRAYED OUT.
Upon leaving ACR, I had a 2321x1824 file.
Eventually, after wasting another hour screwing around with it, I finally blew away all of Bridge AND the preferences and all that,
and rebooted since the %$#)(*& Adobe CC thing wouldn't figure out there was no more Bridge, and resintalled...........
Now, when I open a file in there, at LEAST it knows it's 12.2MP.
It STILL wants to change the Space to sRGB, which I NEVER use from here, and the Depth to 8-bit, which again, I never use in ACR,
but I can set those back to what they should be...
So, in this case, by using a large enough bludgeon, I appear to have gotten around the problem. Now I'm just waiting to see how soon it screws up again.

JPG - Export Settings to XMP?

When editing JPGs in ACR the adjustments are embedded and can be viewed in the EXIF Header (lines beginning with "crs"). But is there a way to export an XMP file from the JPG?
I see in the ACR option to "Export Settings to XMP" when opening a JPG, yet I cannot see where a file (if any) has been saved.
Does "Export Settings to XMP" create an xmp file somewhere when using ACR "Export Settings to XMP" with a JPG?
Thanks,
Russell

I just came across a workaround by searching this forum:
I can save a JPG as a DNG and then lock it. ACR adjustments are then saved as an XMP. That would work for my needs.
But my 1st question remains as to whether it can be done with a JPG. Locking a JPG does not work, an EXP file is not created and ACR refuses to save any edits on a Locked JPG.

No proxy but pc still keeps settings from wsus gpo even now it is not in domain

the situation
I deployed a new image the computer was not a domain member. Before connecting to domain I connected the machine to
dedicated Internet connection (no corporate proxy) for making full updated from Microsoft site. Because I want to capture it back for future domain deployments and have maximum updates to date in the image.
Update failed. Checked Direct Access (NO PROXY). Refreshed Software Updates folder.
Windows update always showed the name of previous proxy server with the error. Local GPO were not configured.
Found one entry with the name of proxy in the registry. Tried different things. still not works. No name in Windows update log but deffinetely Windows Update agent still keeps some settings from previous GPO.
Before I wipe this thing, please
see the last WindowsUpdate. May be there is a solution...
Thanks.

Hi,
Is this image used to be a WSUS client? According to the logs, the client seems to try to connect a WSUS server.
To remove the WSUS client setting, we have two options:
Set HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\UseWUServer to 0.
Delete entire HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\
Note: Serious problems might occur if we modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, we can restore the registry if a problem
occurs.
Best Regards.

ACR not using .xmp files after 03/09/2011

I'm using ACR 6.4.1.145 and Bridge CS5 on a Windows 7 x64 Pro machine. Canon S95 and G12 CR2 files created before 04/09/2011 behave exactly as they should: changes aved in .xmp files are recognized and applied in Bridge thumbnails and when the image is re-opened in ACR.
Images created on 04/09/2011 and any later date (tested by altering the file dates) have their changes saved in an .xmp file, but this file is not applied to the thumbnail in Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail does not indicate the .xmp file exists, and the .xmp changes are not applied when the image is reopened unless the .xmp file is loaded manually.
I have purged the cache, restarted Bridge, and restarted Windows. I've moved the images to a different directory, then a different drive. I've loaded the images from the SD card several times now. The problem persists.
All assistance appreciated.

Thanks Thomas.
I am pretty sure the CR2 files don't contain any .xmp data. For one thing, the problem only occurs on my installation. If I use another computer, everything works as it should.
The problem has returned, however. I just tried to make changes in ACR to images created today, and although ACR saves the .xmp, it does not recognize it when I open the image again. I have to load the .xmp manually.
I will bet that tomorrow, the problem has gone away. That would make it somehow time/date dependent. More important to you and anyone else trying to help, it seems to happen only on my installation of CS5. Something has gotten corrupted, I think. If the problem persists, I will probably try a re-install, but I hate the patching proces that follows.

How to wipe Internet settings clean

Some time back I hooked ethernet (Roadrunner) to my Powerbook. Ever since I am unable to get into my own network over airport. I keep getting that my machine has a self assigned IP address and I can't get Internet. I have tried all the hints here in the forums and nothing works. I even dropped into the terminal using ipconfig and checked en0 for the ipaddress.
How can I wipe the settings on this powerbook and gain wireless access to the Internet again? The funny thing is I can jump on my neighbors network and surf all day with no problem, yet I can't get into my own Internet. I have security on WEP and can get access to the router, but it isn't assigning me a new ip no matter what I do.
I have tried Dlink 524 and the New Belkin G+ routers and all to the save avail... NO internet, yet I can log into the network.
I have reset the Earthlink Cable modem, reset the router, changed routers, created a new user and it is all the same.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I am stumped.
Thanks in advance.
G5 DP 2.0, 20" FPw, Raptor boot drv. & Seagate 160 Mac OS X (10.4.6) S/E W600i

I'd try a few things...
first off.... turn off computer, router, modem, etc.
then unplug the AC power from the cable modem AND unscrew the coax cable from it. Let sit for like 10 minutes.
Then screw coax cable back into box, plug in AC, reconnect to router, and plug in router, etc.
When your mac starts up, test and see if it works.
If not.... then go to Sytem Preferences/Network
then click on SHOW and select Network Port Configurations.
Then DELETE your aiport or wireless settings, etc.
Under the LOCATION tab, do the same...and delete locations...
Then click apply now...restart computer.
then go back to System Preferences/Network.
go to SHOW and select NETWORK STATUS
you may see an option for your internet connection with either a green dot or red dot next to it. Red dot usually means there's no internet connection.
Double click on it.
It will take you to the TCP/IP/PPPoE/AppleTalk/Proxies/Ethernet settings. If your internet setup is by using a DHCP, click on RENEW DHCP Release button a couple times (waiting a few seconds in between each clicking).
Then apply now, once you setup your settings, etc..... Then restart.
Upon restart, check your router settings. Your router may have simply wigged out....may just need to be reset... check your DHCP or IP settings on the router and make sure that WEP passwords are correct etc.
I can't think of anything more. I hope this helps.

ACR missing from Bridge CS3 on Mac

I am working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe CS3.
When I originially installed CS3 running OSX 10.4 the "Camera Raw Preferences" under the file menu was missing. I also could not "Develop Settings" or any other ACR functions from Bridge. I was able to open files in Photoshop and use ACR that way, but that seriously hindered my workflow.
In order to solve the issue I: 1) Updated CS3 (did not fix) 2) Rebuilt Permissions (did not fix) 3) Un-installed CS3, Re-installed CS3 (DID FIX! Camera Raw back in Bridge!)
I Recently upgraded to Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and now I am right back where I started: no ACR in Bridge.
So, again I tried to fix by: 1) Un-installing & Re-installing CS3 (did not fix) 2) Re-installing Mac OSX 10.5 & CS3 (did not fix, but was a major hassle)
I am hoping their is a known fix to this, or if there is a scheduled update to either CS3 or Mac OSX 10.5 addressing such issues with Bridge. I would rather not revert to 10.4 having bought 10.5.

Assuming you have installed the RAW plug in at the correct location??
from the FAQ;
Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
A: For Photoshop CS2 and CS3 customers the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the ï¿½Updatesï¿½ï¿½ option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
Q: I am trying to replace ACR 3.0 by 3.1 (or higher) I cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder, where is it located now?
A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the new correct location is:
Photoshop CS2
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/ï¿½
Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\ï¿½
Photoshop CS3
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/ï¿½
Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\ï¿½

Develop Settings: jpg/xmp

Hello,
first off some background, that I would appreciate corrections on, if I understood something wrong.
a) Lightroom saves the settings it will apply to files in the database, but if the catagog option "Automatically write changes into XMP" is checked, LR will create a XMP file all files in which it stores the develop settings.
b) This setting applys to all files (raw, DNG, JPG, TIFF, PSD) unless the setting "Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files", in which case XMP files are not created for the named file-types, where the develop settings are saved into the metadata of the file itsself.
And now my problem:
I always have the "Automatically write changes into XMP" settings turned on, so that on a database corruption the develop settings are directly associated with the files and can be re-imported to another database. I have imported some 15000 files (60% raw, 40% jpeg) and have started to develop them. All raw files have a XMP file associated with them and modifications to Keywords and develop Settings lead to the XMP files being changed and the raw files remain unchanged. But... for JPEGs LR saves all changes into JPEGs according to the "Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files" setting, which was on for some reason or other. Since it would be so much easier for incremental backups if the JPGs were not modified and only XMPs were changed, I turned the "Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files" setting off. But nothing changed. Still no XMP files are appearing despite changes to the files.
Is there any way to force LR to move the develop settings from within the JPGs to external XMP files?
Thanks all!

inforumman,
Your questions:
a) Correct, but saving to XMP does NOT replace saving in the Lr catalog. Save to XMP is in addition to saving in the catalog.
b) The wording "saving the XMP" is a bit misleading, insofar as an XMP-file will be created only in case of Raw files, whereas with TIFFs, JPGs, PSDs the metadata (edits or other metadata) is written into (the header of) the image file - but NOT into the image pixels.
c) As LRuser24 already said, it is not possible to have Lr write an XMP-file for JPGs, or for TIFFs, or for PSDs.

ACR settings help-recovery

I am currently using ACR 7.4. The recovery slide did not show up. Customer Service told me to switch to 2012 in my settings. They also told me-sort of rudely-that this is a question for the forum-um yeah-I'm new to this....so anyway-I don't even know how to find my settings. When I open a picture out of Bridge, it immediately opens into ACR. From what I can see, there is no place to open up your settings once in ACR. I'm on a MAC, so I checked under my applications, but I don't see anything for ACR. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How can I make PSE8 to read "Rating" from XMP files?

Hi, I'm trying to share "Rating" perameter between Lightroom2 and Photoshop Elements8.
PSE8 can't seem to read the perameter from XMP files created by Lightroom2.
I did following steps.
1. (Lightroom2) Configure a camera RAW file named aaa.cr2 and rate it as five stars.(I use a Canon DSLR. )
2. (Lightroom2) Make a XMP file corresponding to the file. aaa.xmp is created in the same directory.
3. (Explorer and notepad) Open aaa.xmp with a notepad.exe and check "Rating" is set five.
4. (PSE8) Open aaa.cr2 as PSE8 Organizer. Its thumbnail is applied configured parameters by Lightroom2 such as exposure compensation to.
5. (PSE8) However, rating parameter in PSE8 orginizer still shows zero star.
It'a feature? Or something is strange?
Can someone help me?

Hi, John.
Follwing XML is one of my XMP file created by lightroom2.
I rated this CR2 file as three stars and <xap:Rating>3</xap:Rating> means it,
but PSE8 doesn't read this parameter even if I started Elements Orginizer.
When I select "update thumnail", Orginizer applys lighturoom2's effect to thumnail,
and Camera RAW plagin can open the file with all lightroom's effects applied. However, stars still shows zero.
Shoud I do something to make PSE8 to read it?

Importing metadata from XMP sidecar files into Aperture 2.0?

Has anybody found a way to to do this? It appears that the metadata stored in the XMP sidecar files created by Photoshop and Bridge is ignored by Aperture when it imports images. That is pretty much a show stopper when it comes to using Aperture for asset management.

The XMP import capability is limited to metadata/IPTC type info - NOT ACR adjustments and such - those values are specific and make no sense to Aperture. This is true in reverse as well - ACR/Bridge/LR/NX2, etc, etc may pickup IPTC type metadata from XMP or embedded values but NO software will translate adjustment values from another piece of software that are stored ad metadata.

Bridge ACR Settings disappear when reopening folder of images

Frustrating! I'm working on 537 images, I set the exposure, color, etc., and also crop.
Once the folder is closed and reopened all 537 images have reverted to "As Shot".
I am hitting "Enter" when cropping is completed; however, hitting "Enter" after color etc. adjustments closes
the ACR individual icon window and I have to go thru Cmd-R again.
What am I doing wrong and what should I be doing right?
537 images have to be redone. Again.

The .xmp files are listed in the file folder. The "Date Created" for each .xmp
file is correct, and reflects the time
the file was worked on originally; however, after closing and reopening the
file in Bridge, the "Date Modified" for all images
is "Today, 6:58 PM".
Check your hard drive permissions, choose the HD icon and then the Get Info
command (cmd+i). In this window you can see at the bottom if you have read
and write permissions. If it is set to read only you are not able to write
data to it. Copy a few to your main disk without the existing xmp files and
open them in PS, maybe the data is also still in the Camera Raw Data Base,
just a wild shot.
Purging the cache does not restore the .xmp editing choices but does delete
the cropping functions.
sorry to hear that it did not work, however, purging cache should not
delete the crop settings, at least, I tried it with one file that is on my
main hard drive and both ACR settings and crop were kept after purging cache
for that file.
The files are located on an external drive. Is this possibly an issue?
See above, it might be the permissions but also a bad functioning drive. Use
Apple Disk utility or Desk Tool Pro to check the Disk. (something you should
do regularly). Ideally the external drive should be formatted in HFS+ for
Mac but other formatting will also function as long as the drive shows on
your desktop.
Personal I never work on files on external drives, I use my main drive for
it and use external drives (have lots of them...) only for storage and back
up
Is there any method to update the "Date Modified" with the "Date Created"
info in the .xmp files in the file folder?
Not sure why you want this but in general you can't change xmp yourself if
the metadata panel has no option for it (only the ones with a pencil icon
can be edited by the user) other then using scripting I believe.
However the next time you modify the file in Bridge, finder ACR PS etc your
modification date should update itself.
Putting back the modification date will probably not bring back your earlier
changed settings, at least I don't think so.

How do I migrate settings from CS2 to CS6?

Hi,
Being unwilling to mortgage my future to CC, I have taken the plunge and bought CS6 while it is still available. This is on Windows 7.
Is it feasible to migrate settings from CS2 to CS6 and if so how do I do it? I am not sure whether CS6 installation will automatically uninstall CS2 or require me to do it.
Thanks.

Hmmmm… My pedestrian Mac Book has the lowly Intel GMA 950 chipset with a mere 64 MB of VRAM in the form of Shared System Memory. Photoshop 13.0.5 chugs along, minus the advanced graphics capabilities or GPU processing, of course.
Until I acquired the 65-lb Mac Pro, that was my dinky Photoshop CS6 system.
I was happy to be able to run ACR 7.4 on it.
Once again, accept my most abject apologies for the confusion created by my misunderstanding.

I need to erase all content and settings from old iPhone 4s. Will doing so affect new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?

I need to erase all the content and settings from old iPhone 4s. Will doing so affect content on new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?

No, it will not affect the iPhone 6 content if you wipe the old iPhone 4s.

How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
Any insights much appreciated!
Best,
Doug

Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library.
