Include filename on exported jpegs

Is possibe to overlay a filename on a jpeg export?
I am creating jpegs for my website and would like to be able to auomaticaly overlay the filename onto the image. This will allow viewers of the website to identify the image. I have managed to overlay a watermark but not the file name.
I would like the image to look as it would in the slide show module. That allows a filename to be overlaid on the image.
I am using Lightroom 3 with Windows 7 64 bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Beat,
Thank you for that information. I will waste no more time looking. I have checked out the link and will download mogrify 2 and give it a try.
Thanks again for the help.
Much appreciated.

  • Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

    Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
    Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel.  I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
    I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine.  I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets.  Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file.  How nice.  Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
    1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably:  what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
    I especially dislike obtaining erratic results:  most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not.  Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features.  However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
    2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
    (I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)

    I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
    I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom.  Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata."  I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
    So I'm asking:
    1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
    2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output?  I can't find that Adobe does.
    > Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
    I did export the keywords into such a list:  most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
    My concern is not that the brackets are there.  They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
    > ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
    I haven't, either.

  • RAW and Exported Jpegs in same catalog

    I use lightroom to import raw files from my Nikon. Then i edit them and export the good ones to jpeg on my network share for viewing. When i import jpegs from my compact camera i import them directly to my network share. Before i always had the jpegs in to the same catalog just under the other path. But now with face recognitioning i get the face from both places with the exported ones. Is there a way to stack the jpeg with the raw file so that they only show once?

    Raw and Jpeg next to each other can be treated as the same file, but only if they are in the same physical folder and have the same name.
    Are your exported Jpeg files then re-imported into LR in a different folder? That's a problem for what you want to do (and in general I don't recommend reimporting duplicate images).
    LR could do a great job of managing your network share using a published folder, if you included the Jpegs from your compact camera on the loca folder along with the raw images. With publish services and a published folder, LR will create (and remove) Jpeg images in a managed location you choose, and you don't need to worry about reimporting duplicates.

  • Exported JPEGs Distorted in Shadow Areas

    I own a Nikon D7000 and I shoot 14bit RAW.
    In Lightroom 3.3 the preview images were distorted, only in development mode the images were fine. I reported to Adobe on this and they seem to have fixed this issue.
    In Lightroom 3.3 -- and still in 3.4 -- the exported JPEGs are distorted when the exported image is resized:
    A lighter version of the same crop (for illustrative reasons):
    As you can see, the gradient has serious artefacts, especially when going from green to black. It is a 90% JPEG quality exported of 1050px width. I have seen this for different image qualities (80-100%), though. This does not occur when the image is exported full size.
    Can anybody confirm this?
    It seems that this only happens for dark shadows.
    I had a Canon G9 that I used with Lightroom and I have never seen a behaviour like this. Right now the export is useless to me.

    I've had some discussions about this with Adobe folks during the LR 3 beta phase, but that is all behind a wall now. I think they did put in the dithering into Lightroom now. I still think it is your monitor profile. Also realize that the displays in laptops including the MacBook Pros are not actually full 8-bit displays and you will always see some banding in them. See for example this page: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php My guess is that that will show banding on your machine in the shadow areas. Also another issue is that you have to look at these displays at precisely the right angle because you will get raised shadows by quite a bit if you look at them just a few degrees off. One thing to do is to use a test image ( I use monitor_test_txt22.png from this page: http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html ). When you squint the image should be uniform. If not slant the display until it looks uniform.

  • Exporting jpegs with embedded previews?

    For compatibility with a web application I wrote using an old workflow ending with a save-for-web in Photoshop, I need to export jpegs with embedded previews. (Not DNG or other format files with embedded jpeg previews.) This happens by default with Photoshop, but Lightroom doesn't do it and I can't find anything to change that in the settings. Am I missing something? And if this isn't included, is it on the to-do list for improvements?

  • ANN: LRViewer now shows ratings and 100% views; exports JPEGs; customizable

    (LRViewer is a free app for the Mac and Windows that allows you to view Lightroom images and metadata without using Lightroom itself. Previously announced here.)
    A major LRViewer upgrade, Version 1.1, is now available for download from ImageIngester.com. You can now:
    * See ratings (1 - 5 stars) along with the image file name.
    * Zoom in to see a 100% view, and then pan with the mouse.
    * Export JPEGs with EXIF and XMP info.
    This version also includes LRVmaker so that photographers can customize the appearance and behavior of LRViewer for their clients by:
    * Placing a logo on the screen.
    * Showing a button that goes to the photographer's web site.
    * Opening a catalog automatically when LRViewer starts up.
    * Starting with a selected collection or other outline item, and controlling which outline items show.
    * Marking images with a watermark.
    * Preventing clients from accessing EXIF info and metadata, from viewing images above a certain size, and from exporting JPEGs.
    For more information or to download LRViewer and LRVmaker, go to ImageIngester.com.

    For those of you that have been looking for a tool to 'rescue' your images when you lose your originals, this is it. If you have rendered 1:1 previews, it will even give you that preview from the database. So this is worth buying even if you are just using it as a well designed 'rescue' tool.
    Imagine being able to go up to any computer, even if it does not have Lightroom installed, plug in a USB thumb drive, and view a catalog that you put on that thumbdrive. This is what the tool allows. And LRVmaker adds lots of customization if want to leave a copy of your catalog behind for someone else to review.

  • Use Metadata Title as Filename When Exporting

    Is there a way to use the metadata title as the export filename when exporting ?? If not, there should be !

    It already can do this. Simply go into the list of filename presets, choose Edit, and built your own preset - making sure to include "Title" from the top Metadata drop down list somewhere in your renaming pattern.

  • Exporting Jpegs from Lightroom - DPI question

    When I export Jpegs from Lightroom, I set the dpi to 300 pixels per inch. I do not specify a max width or height. When I view these files in Adobe Bridge (CS2 or CS3) the file info says 300dpi. However, when I open the files in Photoshop and select image size, It says 72dpi and has the document size set to very large. I realize that I can enter 300 dpi and uncheck the resample box, I am just confused as to why this is happening.
    My concern is, that I upload my images directly to my lab after exporting from Lightroom. Will this cause problems?
    Thanks in advance!
    David

    the image resolution is a combination of the two parameters you mention: size and dpi. a very large size at 72 dpi is equivalent to a small size (like 3x5) at very high dpi. for printing you want at least 240 dpi at the largest size that allows you to keep that resolution. for screen presentations or your web site you want jut 72 dpi. 72 dpi and 2x3 inches will require a very small file size.
    I suggest you to export images at TIFF and not JPEG as that will allow you to preserve the image quality when doing editing in PS.
    In my case I export TIFF for PS (when I need PS editing) and 72 dpi JPEG for my web site (that way if somebody downloads my image illegally thy get a poor resolution copy). But since LR works very well for me 90% of the images re just kept in raw mode and I print from LR.

  • The difference in sharpness and overall contrast between LR5 and LR4 low res. export JPEGs

    Installed the evaluation copy of the LR yesterday and as always compared with the previous version (4.4) of the program. The first and not very pleasant difference was the sharpness of the exported JPEGs in low resolution. In full resolution exports it is not that much noticeable. As you may see on the below photo LR4 export is noticeably sharper than LR5. All the export settings were the same in both versions. I used my saved export preset for both JPEGs. The LR5 exported JPEG is slightly lighter than the one in LR4.4. Both photos look the same in develop mode screen, so the difference is in export processing.
    Would be great to know hear the experience, thoughts and comments of others about it.

    I also hope that it'll be fixed soon.
    Yeah, all other bugs in Lr5 I've been able to find acceptable workarounds for, but I'm not sure what to do about this one for the mean time - any ideas?
    If no acceptable workaround can be found, then +1 vote: 5.0.1 in a hurry.

  • What's the deal with large white blocks in exported jpegs

    I just exported my first job I ran through Aperture. Out of 736 files, 9 were flawed. When opened, the exported jpeg had a missing section of the photo, that was all white. The white block appeared in random spots but always on the edges. The problem didn't occur the second time around with the same 9 files/ this time processed in a batch of 9.
    I need to know how to export files reliably - in my workflow, I don't have time to double check file quality.
    Has anyone seen this issue? I've seen it with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
    I'm shooting with a 1ds mrkII.
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    i've seen this too, in other odd ways. it seems to affect the images that i've spotted (with the patch tool) and have other corrections/adjustment applied. its almost like the GPU gets too overloaded to accurately recreate all of the image mods. the image seems to be segmented into smaller rectangular sections that probably get loaded into the video card's memeory and the adjustments and corrections are applied on smaller, more managable sections. when the image is stitched back together something goes horribly wrong!
    the sections tend to be mis-matched with some completely black, some that have black spots where the patch tool was applied, other sections have what looks like a white overlay that's 50% opaque. sometimes even my thumbnails come up with the same results as these malformed exports. i've been able to shake them back to normalcy by toggling one of the corrections (spot/patch, highligh/shadow, etc). after the thumbnail updates properly, the export usually works fine.
    this is definitely a bug with aperture and i would report it as such. attach and send the image to the bug report if you can!

  • Artifacts on exported JPEG

    One of my exported JPEGs has three or four vertical lines across it, like scratches on old movies. Has anyone else seen this? Is it worth keeping the evidence, or should I just re-export and hope the problem never recurs?

    Not sure what happened to my last attempt at posting, but anyway, this already came up on the forum yesterday - the thread can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=672936&tstart=75 .
    Apparently it only affects Intel macs and only when 'fit to dimensions' is used, and only with images from certain cameras. Still not good, though. I'd suggest submitting feedback and sample images via the Aperture feedback page at http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html .

  • PC based client cannot see keyword tags on my exported JPEGs, PC based client cannot see keyword tags on my exported JPEGs

    Hey,
    Im having a very wierd problem that I can't quite get my head around and would appreciate some help!
    I am delivering exported JPEGs from Aperture to a client workning in a PC environment. These photos are all Keyworded, and these keywords show up when i click the "get info" button on the exported files. Also, I was asked to double check using Adobe bridge, and low and behold, all tags are there, I can see them, and so can anyone else with a mac. (and yes I did select the embed metadata in exported files button on export!)
    The problem is that when they move to the PC environment, noone can see these tags. This is a huge problem, as I am delivering around 1,000 photos to be archived in a smart database that uses the tags to sort the photos.
    HELP!

    The Keyword, as with Captions (Description in Photoshop) is not found in file properties, but must be seen with  true photo app.  OSX does provide that in a Get Info window, but that will not necessarily be true in other operating systems.  Knowing the apps they have used to search for the Keyword is important.

  • White stripes in exported JPEGs

    Dear Friends,
    I use Windows XP SP 2, Indesign CS 2 (Vers. 4.0.5).
    I use the Indesign in-built jpeg export function very often because I need the output for some flash presentation (flash book).
    But the output is sometimes distorted with white stripes.
    I really hate this - because I can see these white stripes also when I work in Indesign with High Quality View Mode.
    To eliminate them I need to scroll the distorted page out of the screen and scroll it into back again.
    Then there aren't any white stripes on the screen or in the resulting jpeg-Output of this page.
    But for 100 or more pages this "solution" is not practical.
    There are workarounds like Apple- or Javascript Indesign-Macros for exporting all pages as PDFs and then converting them back to JPEG in Adobe Photoshop, for example. But the Indesign export-to-jpeg function is very simple, easy, straight-forward and fast. But these white stripes must go away.
    Is there an update for Indesign CS 2 to eliminate this problem?
    What is the reason for this really annoying problem?
    I thank you very much for your help and support!
    With best Regards

    Well - but when the exported JPEG has to be small - then Photoshop rasters the fonts very unreadable. - Indesign is better in rastering the fonts when it is exporting the stuff directly as JPEG-Files. The font is much more readable then.
    Btw.: Is there a way to setup the font-rasterizer of Adobe Photoshop to improve readability of rasterized fonts?
    Thank you for your help and support!
    With best regards

  • Exported jpegs unable to open on some TVs: need to pen in MS Paint and then save again!!! (Noooooo!!

    I export jpegs from InDesign to be displayed on flat screen TVs for a client. On some TV models they are unable to load the jpegs and the only work around is to open them in MS Paint (I am on a Mac so boo!) and save as a jpeg again.
    Can someone please advise what the problem is and how I can fix this, rather than having the client use MS Paint to fix?
    Many Thanks.

    My best guess is that you have exported your JPEGs in CMYK colour space and your TV does not understand it. Make sure you have chosen RGB as Colour Space in Export JPEG window.
    There´s some other options too that you could try to toggle (like Format Method and Simulate overprint which may cause troubles in some special target devices)

  • IPhoto '11: Export (JPEG) size not working

    I keep all my photos taken with iPhone 4 in iPhoto '11 ver 9.42 (710.42).
    It is a very excellent app to mange my photos.
    Recently I need some photos from iPhoto for the use in my web project.
    So I export them in JPEG, choosing "high" quality and "large" size.
    Yet, some of the exported JPEG are still in the original size of 2592 x 1936.
    I have tried other size options, but those (same) JPEG are always in the original size.
    What happened?
    I appreciate if gurus here could help me.
    Thank you very much.

    If the pref file was damaged your test library would have exhibited problems also. Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    Also there's a new update for iPhoto, 9.4.3.  Wouldn't hurt to update to that version.
