Importing keyword Problem in lightroom

Hi
I imported a catalog from a laptop PC to my stationare PC. But some of Keyword disappeared?
If I open the exportet catalog independently are all keyword present, so exported catalog is fine.
(I have also checked whether my master catalog contains [] / {} for the disappeared kyeword which not are the case)
My problem is that I first discovered the error after I process the pictures and gave them the rating I also changed the timezone and the file name in my master catalog, so I do not want to repeat the work as there were over 5000 images in the imported catalog.
eg. is Løve (Lion) missing and also Panorama. But "Løveflok" and "Natur" is pressent in import, wery strange !
Dyr
     Løve
            Han løve
            Hun løve
            Løveflok
Nature
      landscape
           Panorama
      Morgenstund
Is there some there have a proposal ??
Sincerely yours, Allan Tuxen

Yeah, well go talk to Nikon...see, Nikon NX is using NIKON's proprietary SDK...and nothing that is done in NX will show up in Lightroom because Adobe uses their Camera Raw pipeline...

Keywording problem in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4

I'm experiencing a problem with keywording in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4. When i export a batch of photos that were keyworded in LR to the desk top then open a photo in PS I find only one keyword when I look through the "file info" menu item. Any ideas on how I might resolve this problem or what I may be doing wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

Make sure that you have the keywords setup so that they will export. You can check by right clicking on a keyword in the Keyword List panel and choosing Edit Keyword Tag. The dialog shown below should open and should see a checkmark against Include on Export and Export Containing Keywords. It's fairly easy to get this wrong when working with hierarchical keywords.
Also, you can configure the Keywording panel so that it shows which keywords will be assigned when image is exported.

Importing Keywords from other DAM Software (Cumulus)

Hi,
A client is currently switching from analog to digital photography. She is a professional garden photographer. The switch to digital photography comes along with establishing a raw processing workflow and therefore she is impressed with Lightroom's integration of DAM and raw processing.
Before she was filing her large portfolio of color slides, inside a Cumulus image database, using small scans of her slides for orientation in the database and creating contact sheets for her clients. In the Cumulus database she has established a large hierachical keyword vocabulary, containing flower and plant species, their genus, family, order, class, phylum etc., you probably know what I mean. Some of the keywords have associated synonyms.
The new Lightroom catalog will only contain the new digital images, so that the old images from the Cumulus database will not be migrated into the new Lightroom catalog. Of course the client wants to import the Cumulus keyword hierarchy into the Lightroom catlog.
I have the following questions now:
1.) Is there a *practical* (I do not mean technical) limit to the amount of keywords Lightroom can handle (speed)?
2.) How can we import a keyword vocabulary from an external program into Lightroom? Is there any base format, such as CSV, which we could use? The Cumulus version the client uses does not support XMP, and since XMP only relates to a particular image, that would not help anyway. Where is the keyword vocabulary stored? Has somebody experience with such a migration issue?
3.) I have notice that Lightroom supports synonyms to keywords. However, I have not found any way to use them. My impression was that they were not regarded in keyword or text-based searches. Maybe I overlooked something.
So, I hope anybody has some ideas.
Kind regards

Hi
I try to give you few brief answers.
1) I have almost 1000 keywords (including synonyms) and I don't have problems. But at least some previous versions of Lightroom were unusable with controlled vocabularity keyword set which contains something like 11000 keywords. I haven't recently heard any comments about large quantity of keywords. So someone with more experience should comment on that.
2) You can import keyword hierarchy to Lightroom from text file. File should have keywords in tab intented hierarchy, with one keyword in line. If I recollect correctly the file should be in UTF-8 character set (this is important if you have some non ascii characters in keywords). Synonyms are marked with {} and keywords that are not exported with [].
3) Synonyms are written as keywords when images are exported. As far as I know current search tool does not support synonyms (yes, this is weird).
Hope this helps at least a bit.

Importing keywords from stock photography sites

We purchase a lot of images from stock photography sites, such as Shutterstock and iStockphoto.
We have been using a software called QPict to catalogue the images. QPict is no longer supported.
We'd like to shift to Lightroom or possibly Bridge. Is there a way to automatically import the images along with their keywords from those sites?
In QPict, I've had to find an image, go to the site, copy out the keywords and paste along the image in the catalog. Very tedious process, especially that QPict had limitations as to the number of keywords per image that you could import. Took forever just to catalogue a few dozen photos. We have thousands.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. For the life of me, I cannot find any help in Google or any forums I've visited.
Thank you in advance.

Problems importing raw files into Lightroom 3.4

I've just dowloaded lightroom 3.4 and now I'm having problems importing raw files into lightroom. I havent had a problem before. Can anyone help me? My camera is a Nikon D7000.

Perhaps a few more details are required. Take a look at the FAQ "How to get help quickly"

Importing keywords from Lightroom

I plan on purchasing a new iMac with Adobe Aperture and would like to know if I can import my pictures from Lightroom on my PC into Aperture (on the iMac) with the keywording kept intact...
Is this possible?

ONLY if you convert the images to DNG files prior to import. Aperture will read ratings and keywords in DMG (or TIFF or JPEG) files. It will not read them from XMP sidecar files (which IMO is pretty unfortunate).

Importing Keywords from Excel into Lightroom (XMP)

My current photo log is in Excel. I'm thinking of moving to Lightroom. Does anyone know if there would be a programmatic way to import keywords from an Excel file, and avoid having to manually apply keywords to each imported image? The data in my Excel file provides a perfect (nearly perfect?) correspondence between keyword and image file name. I know next to nothing about XMP, but I could get some help if I knew this was possible. Thanks!

Garry, try this: Take one image in LR, apply some metadata and use "Metadata > XMP > Export XMP Metadata to File". Examine this xmp file to see what it has to look like.

Keyword Problem and a Question.Forfo

For some odd reason, Lightroom assigns a keyword (Tofino) to ALL new imports. Even though it isn't selected. A bit aggravating, because I have to got back and change every file after it's imported. Why is this happening and how do I turn it off? This has gone on for more than a year!
My other question concerns the Adjustment Brush. I know there's a simple way of hitting a key to see which areas have been "masked," but I can't figure out how to do it? Who knows?
Many thanks.

I very much appreciate the hints on shortcuts and the "o" for the toggle
mask.
But I still can't figure out the keyword problem. Any other ideas? My
issue is that EVERY time I import files from the camera's SD card, it
applies a keyword of TOFINO. I used that once only. So I'm puzzled where
to look for this in the pre-sets. I prowled around last night, but I don't
think I'm looking in the right area.

Keywords conflict between Lightroom & Bridge

I am new to Lightroom but have used Bridge for a long time.
My Bridge keywords have evolved over time and various hierarchies and parent keywords have been changed many times to reflect my needs.
I find that when I import older images into Lightroom, older parent keywords, long deleted from Bridge, reappear in the Lightroom workspace.
When I update metadata in Lightroom and write the data back to the original files, the old hierarchies and parent keywords reappear in Bridge and in the file's keyword list.
I cannot find a way around this problem.

Erik Bloodaxe wrote:
It occurs with any file type in particular I am using dng and jpg regularly.
By experimentation Lightroom seems to show the long deleted parent keyword which once contained a particular keyword. The parent keywords were EXCLUDED in Bridge when they were added to an image but they show in Lightroom.
Open one of the DNG or JPEG files in PS and check File> File Info> Description tab> Keywords using PS's XMP reader. If the excluded keywords are showing here they will also show inside LR.
As DdeGannes mentioned to see Bridge metadata changes inside LR you'll need to select the files inside LR and apply menu item Metadata> 'Read Metadata from File.' Conversely, if you select Metadata> 'Save Metadata to File' (CTRL + S) LR will "overwrite" the Bridge metadata with the keywords visible in LR. It's important to keep the Bridge and LR metadata "synchronized:"
1) Update LR with any changes made inside Bridge using Metadata> Read Metadata from File from the LR menu for ALL changed files. You should do this BEFORE making ANY keyword changes to a file inside LR.
2) After making keyword change inside LR apply Metadata> 'Save Metadata to File' immediately so that the changes are written to the file(s), making them visible inside Bridge.
I'm guessing that somewhere in time keywords were edited in LR and Bridge without following the above "synchronization" steps. If PS's XMP reader shows keywords "excluded" in Bridge then that's probably what happened. If the excluded keywords are NOT showing in XMP (but still visible inside LR) then further investigation is required.

When i import my pictures into lightroom, they are blurry, when i click develop they automatically

when i import my pictures into lightroom, they are blurry, when i click develop they automatically focus, but when i click library, they blur again... i use canon and jpeg, why is this and how do i fix it?

Yes, in library ive zoomed into 1:1 and the image is nice and sharp, but when i zoomed out, the sharpness disapears and the image is blurry again. I see a lot of people are having this problem. I also called adobe and talked to someone and they had no idea whats going on,

PSE 13 "Import Keyword Tags From File" Fails

Whenever I try to do the above command, it fails. As shown in the attached figure it gets to 9%. Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this error?
Thanks in advance.

is there a way to import tags from PSE 12
The PSE 12 Organizer and LR 5 use different file formats for exporting and importing keyword hierarchies. PSE uses XML format, while LR 5 uses a tab-separated format. If you're a programmer or technically minded, you could convert from one to the other using your favorite scripting language.
But the approach suggested by dj_paige can be modified to accomplish what you want without scripting, by copying the keyword hierarchy from the "upgraded" LR catalog that was created from your PSE catalog to your "good" LR catalog:
1. Make a manual backup of your "good" LR catalog: Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog.
2. In LR, open the catalog that you created previously by upgrading (converting) the PSE catalog -- you can usually get to that catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
3. Go to grid view in the Library by doing Window > Library followed by View > Grid (usually you're already in Library grid view, but just in case...)
4. Make sure the Keyword List panel is showing on the right by doing Window > Panels > Keyword List.
5. You should see the keyword hierarchy from your PSE catalog. If you don't, stop and post a screen shot of the entire LR screen.
6. Do Metadata > Export Keywords to export those keywords as a LR-format text file.
7. Open your "good" LR catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
8. Do Metadata > Import Keywords and select the file you exported in step 6.
9. All the keywords that were exported in step 6 will be added to the current catalog, and there will be duplicate keywords if there were already keywords of the same name in the catalog. Those new keywords will not be attached to any existing photos in the current catalog.

Import keywords delimiter question

In gallery mode I specify multiple keyword by clicking buttons and check boxes --no problem there. But what is the trick to manually typing in multiple import keywords without the program concatenating them into a new unwanted keyword? Is it some sort of delimiter character?

Pipe "|" or ">" .
"|" would be in you want to enter GrandParent | Parent | Child
">" would be in you want to enter Child > Parent > GrandParent

Problems with Lightroom 5.2 and Olympus EM-1 RAW files?

There have been reports on DPREVIEW of color problems using Lightroom 5.2 with RAW files from the Olympus OM-D EM-1 camera. This causes difficulty creating camera profiles, and creates a red shift in Images. JPG images are unaffected.
Anyone else seeing this?
When may we look forward to LR 5.3, hopefully with a fix?
Thanks............... Jack Winberg

The read me file from Adobe indicate that LR 5.2 has "preliminary" support for the Olympus EM-1 raw files.
I would make sure you keep your original raw files so they can be converted when the support is finalized. i.e. I would not convert to dng on import if that is your normal workflow.

Why do I get an error importing .mov files in Lightroom 4.2 RC

I have Lightroom 4.2 RC on a Windows 7 desktop and laptop. Mov files from a Nikon D4 import fine on the desktop, but I get an error importing the same files on my laptop and they get skipped. My laptop is actually newer and more powerful than my desktop.

I was getting this message: "There is a problem with the video file" when attempting to import video files on Lightroom 4.1 (and after upgrading to 4.2) on Win7/64-bit.
The video files were M-JPEG/AVI and H.264/MP4.
Seeing a recommendation elsewhere, I uninstalled DivX and rebooted.
This resolved the issue for me!
Perhaps it will work for you, too, William.

How do i import keyword tags from PSE12?

I have just downloaded PS and LR5 from Adobe CC. I was using Photoshop Elements 12. How can I import my keyword tags from the PSE Organizer. I saved them as .txt files but they will not import because they contain "special characters." What do I do? Please do not tell me I have to start over... ~
