How to import images and keywords from Nikon PictureProject to LR2?

I have several thousand pictures that I have captured with my Nikon cameras (the present being a D300). I have imported those to my Mac (OS X) using the Nikon PictureProject software. This software has now been discontinued by Nikon, and I have switched to using Lightroom 2 instead.  But when I try to import my photo library from Nikon PictureProject all the keywords describing the images are eliminated and I only get a date and number. This is obviously creating a big problem. Nikon has replied that they have no solution to propose! Has anyone else been exposed to the same difficulty? And has some creative person found a solution?
Thank you for your assistance!

Thank you for your help! My wife Marianne who has the problem has used PictureProject in a very special way. She has typed in the keywords on the line where PictureProject gives the basic information about the photo DCS3_7325 for example. Where DCS3 shows it is a digital Nikon camera D300 and the 7325 is the camera's (own I imagine) number for the original photo.
In front of this my wife has written the description of the photos e.g. "Paris bridges Pont Neuf". (And not in the place provided by PictureProject for keywords.)
It has been possible to search the photos by typing in the added words.
Do you think that this additional (not intended by PictureProject) information could be imported to Lightroom2?
Thank you for using your experience to see if this can be solved.

  • How to transfer images and music from PC (Windows 7) to iPhone?

    Hello:
    Could someone please inform me how can I transfer images and music from a PC (Windows 7) to my iPhone (3GS)?

    Hi, RichardParker,
    I have also meet problems to transfer music from PC to iPhone, and I had solved it now. You can do the following steps,
    1. Copy music to your phone memory
    2. Exported contacts to SD Card (on Android phone) in VCard format
    3. Transfered VCard file from SD Card to PC
    4. Created a Google Account
    5. Opened the Google Account from a browser (on PC), go to Contacts, and then uploaded VCard contacts to the Google account
    6. Configured the iPhone (using a separate Windows user account - so as to allow for importing pictures & videos through iTunes)
    7. Created a "CardDAV" account on the iPhone and synchronised all Contacts
    If you have any question ,you can ask me about iPhone Transfer. And I hope the steps above works.

  • How to import photos and videos from Android device?

    Hello
    I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 recently and I'm trying to import photos and videos from my phone, Samsung Galaxy SIII, but having a little trouble.
    When I go to "Import from Camera or Card Reader" option and choose my phone from the "Get photos from" drop down menu in "Source" section the "Photo downloader" finds
    every single photo and/or video stored on the device and it's memory card but I'm trying to import only photos and/or videos I've shot my self with the phone, witch is kept
    in an folder named DCIM, but I simply can't figure out how to so my question is:
    How do I import photos and/or videos from my Android device?

    Try clicking Advanced button (bottom left) in the downloader dialog. You should then be able to select and deselect thumbnails and import only the ones you give the checkmark.

  • HT1849 how to import music and video from windows media player

    I want to import my music and videos from the windows media player, and I want to import or put it all in my itunes library. How do I do that. I know there is a button.
    Am I missing it? Can someone help me please. I am working off of a laptop. If that helps anything.

    In Media Player music list, make sure the "Protected" column is displaying. Sort by that column. Any songs that are protected can not be converted to iTunes. You will have to re-rip the CD with the WMP setting to be to not protect the songs.
    I had the same problem with album covers and could never fix it. I just gave up. I spoke with people at Apple stores and nothing they suggested worked.

  • How to export ranking and keywords from Aperture to iPhoto

    Hi,
    I like to edit RAWs in Aperture but still want to keep iPhoto for JPGs, sharing and slidshows... However, I cannot get the keywords and rankings from Aperture into iPhoto. The JPGs have other Metadata attached to them, but not the ones that matter the most here - ranking and keywords. Subtitles for example are also missing in the exported picture.
    I tried various ways of exporting/importing the pictures (of course "including metadata"), but did not yet succeed. I did expect these two applications to get along more smoothly, however there must be a way to do this, right? Please let me know!

    Redgo,
    I can't answer your specific question, but I too like to use iPhoto for slideshows.
    I don't do this by sharing the libraries or having duplicate copies. In Aperture, I make an album with the pictures for my slideshow. Then in iPhoto, I grab that album from Aperture and make an iPhoto slideshow from that. It uses the previews, but medium-res previews are fine for a slideshow. It wouldn't be so good for printing (but I imagine you'd use Aperture to do that).
    Just my 2 cents about an alternate workflow.

  • How to protect image and text from page break

    Hi
    I have set on a smartform a single row which contains two columns. The first column has an image, and the second has some text. I want the program to send the whole row to the next page if it does not fit the page, instead of breaking it up in separate portions. I already set the line break protection in Table > Details, but that did not work. Also, if i go to the output options in the text, the option to protect from break is not enabled. How can I do this?
    Thanks,

    Hi Gabriel,
    just tested it and it work fine, if I do such setting:

  • How to import tags and metadata from iphoto 11 to Organizer

    I have been using iPhoto 11 and I have around 26000 photos in my library. I am considering to buy the Photoshop Elements 10 and I downloaded the trial. I would like to import my photos from the iPhoto Libray to the organizer with all the metadata that they have, faces, places .... I have not been able to import that, only the photos and the tags but not the faces or places. Does anyone know how to get my photos and the organizer to recognize the place and faces that I already have marked in the iPhoto?
    Thanks in advance for any response.

    Hi Victoria,
    Though I'm not very sure but perhaps the way face information is created and stored by iPhoto is different from that in Organizer. SO that might be the reason why people tags in iPhoto and Organizer behave differently. Organizer associates a face rectangle (portion of the image with a face) with people tags. That might not be the case with iPhoto perhaps.
    Since tags are written in image metadata, they can directly be retrieved. Infact Places information if embedded as GPS data (demographic latitude/longitude format) should be read by Organizer.
    Someone else might give a better advice on this one. I just told what I think the reason could be
    Thanks

  • How to import images onto iMac from MBP?

    I know I've made this work in the past but now, I'm not sure how. Came back from a trip with several hundred photos on iPhoto on my MBP(running SL). i would like to import them into Aperture on my iMac(Leopard).I think that in the past I copied the files into my Public folder on the MBP and would be able to import wirelessly into Aperture on the iMac. I have File Sharing enabled on both machines. Now Aperture on the iMac appears to see the MBP Public Folder but no photos show up in it. I must be missing something here but I'm not sure what. Is there some other straight forward to way to move the files from the MBP to the iMac short of burning them to a dvd or connecting the two via firewire?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jim

    If you simply enable File Sharing on the MBP: Sys prefs -> Sharing -> File Sharing -> On.
    And then on your iMac use the Finder sidebar -> Shared -> click on your laptop's name in the list -> choose connect as -> fill in your username/password as it is on the MBP and you should be able to select all partitions on the MBP, and your own user folder (and perhaps public folders).
    And you should have read/write permissions so you can copy the files over.

  • How to import names and addresses from address book into a letter

    I am a new Apple user and fairly frustrated by the lack of help and who to contact for support. I would like to know how I can use the address book to write a letter or export the information to Word to writ a simple letter. Is this possible ?
    Thanks

    > I am a new Apple user and fairly frustrated by the lack of help and who to contact for support.
    There is a Help function available for each application and since you are a new Apple user, I strongly suggest that you use this for learning purposes especially for the Apple applications you use most often. An answer to every possible question is not included but this is a good place to start to help you with the learning curve involved with switching from Windows.
    You discovered these Discussions which is probably your best avenue for overall support. There is a wealth of knowledge here with Apple provided knowledge base articles and a large number of very knowledgeable folks who volunteer their time to help fellow users with problems/issues and to answer various questions such as yours. I've learned much here and continue to learn new things on a regular basis.
    Regarding contacting Apple support directly (they won't help you with problems associated with 3rd party applications such as Word even though Apple includes an Office 2004 Test Drive on all Macs but if you have a technical support issue with Apple hardware or Software, you contact AppleCare with free telephone support for 90 days from date of purchase. If you have a warranty related issue after the 90 days of free telephone support has expired, AppleCare will request upfront payment for the support but if the reported problem does turn out to be a covered warranty issue, the upfront money paid will be credited in full.

  • Need instructions on how to download photos and videos from my Samsung cell to my iPhoto

    Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto.  Thx

    Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
    As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.

  • How to import user and group at EPM11.1.2?

    I found a similar topic on this at User & Groups Issue
    But sounds like there is big change a tEPM11.1.2, I didn't find CSSImportExport utility at all.
    Could anyone tell me how to import users and groups from flat file at this version?
    Thanks
    Tony

    You can only use LCM from 11.1.2, it is not really that different format from the CSSImportExport utility.
    I find the best way is to set up a few users and provisioning and then use LCM to export, then you get a good feel to the format of the file.
    Cheers
