Keyword Woes

If I apply a keyword to an image from the HUD and then adjust the HUD, the image tag remains the same.
How does everyone feel about this? I think that the keyword should "stick" to what is reflected in the HUD. This seems like a problem to me.
Also, is there any way to get all my keywords in the HUD? I hate when they are orphaned with the images and gone from my HUD.
Sigh.

I've already sent a feedback to Apple regarding this.
Personally, I believe the keywords should be tracked by ID. Apparently though, they're not because you can change the keywords in either the HUD or the Keyword Inspector and the changes are not seen in the images or in the Keyword Control Sets.
Funny thing: the AppleScript for Aperture indicates that the keywords already have IDs. it's just that Aperture isn't using them.
The example I gave Apple was; if I had a keyword 'dad' and decided to change it later to 'father'. I would now have some images with the keyword 'dad' and some with the keyword 'father'. I would prefer that Apple uses the IDs to track the keywords and update them accordingly. when exporting the images, the keyword text itself would be exported rather than the IDs.
Apple may be afraid that the average person would change keywords in the HUD not realising that every image in the database would reflect the change. So for example, someone has images with the keyword "Elephant" but they don't think they'll have any more elephant images to process. at the same time, they expect to have Monkey images coming. to save time, rather than delete "Elephant" first, they simply double-click "Elephant" and change it to "Monkey". The result would be that every Elephant image in their collection would now be keyworded as Monkey.
Apple must have thought hard about this but I would really have preferred an ID-based system. One option would be to use one of the Keyword interfaces to make changes to the keywords where that interface would be ID-based. All other interfaces would be text based. People wanting ID-based systems would use that interface while other people could use the other interfaces.
From time to time, I'll rethink my keywording system and hierarchy. Unfortunately, it could really mess up the organisation of my library unless I'm careful. I'll just have to remember the Smart Album method of replacing Keywords and also remember that I now have a script to delete/create keywords.

Keywording woes

Hi,
During the Beta I posted several times regarding a bug that would bring my PC to a stand still if I had too many keywords.
I'm sorry to see that this bug still appears to be prevalent.
I'm now working on a new iMac, so I'd expect things to be nippy. I have less than 8000 images in the database, however I do have a lot of keywords since many images are destined for stock web sites. I say "a lot", but I wouldn't say excessive by any means, certainly less than 1000.
LR is generally very fast for me now. The number of keywords no longer brings the whole application to a halt; until that is that I do anything keyword related. Adding or changing a single keyword results in the spinning cursor for upwards of 15 seconds each time! Hardly condusive to a streamlined workflow destined for the professional photographer.
I should mention now that I'm not synchronising the XMP data automatically, so this isn't due to the time it takes to update DNG files, for example.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Tim

John,
All my keywords are currently flat. I agree with you that the database should easily be able to handle the number of keywords with ease, yet alone 1000. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this issue isn't directly related to the database itself, at that Adobe can sort the problem out easily. Do they read this forum?
I may take a peek at the schema, but I don't thing that'll reveal anything. I have strong suspicions that the code is simply being very ineffecient in its use of the database.
Damien,
I use keywords and collections for two different things. I use keywords to *describe* the image itself, using words that are likely to be used by clients when searching for a photo (sand, party, banana, ruins, etc).
I use collections to *organise* my photos. This organisation doesn't describe the contents photo in it's own right. For example, I may have collections for Black and White, Abstract, Stock, To be printed, Friends and Family (having "Bob" as a keywords isn't very useful for the client looking for a portrait), etc.
Furthermore, I have far fewer collections than keywords. The LR tools that have been put in place (the cool keyword stamp, etc.) should allow for very fast keywording, but they certainly don't allow for fast "collectioning", and this would be reasonable if LR could actually handle keywords correctly.
My final point about collections is that they don't form part of the photo's metadata, so it wouldn't even be an option to use collection instead of keywords - when transferring a photo to a stock site it wouldn't have the associated keywords embedded in it.

PSE 9 Organizer Error Adding Keyword Tags and Other Woes

Hello, everyone. I am having a ton of problems with PSE 9 Organizer. The most frustrating and biggest problem is that I believe my catalog has been corrupted beyond repair. I spent all of yesterday tagging my photos. I had no problems and everything seemed to be going well until all of the sudden, the organizer suddenly froze up. I had to use the Windows task manager just to get it to close. This happened several times. Finally, the organizer locked up my computer and I had to restart. I opened the catalog and didn't seem to have any problems at that point. I was able to view all of the images, video files etc. I was even able to open the editor from the organizer. When I tried to add a tag to a photo it gave me an error. All it said was "error adding keyword tag" then nothing. I tried to delete the photo and all it said was "error deleting photo". This "error" shows up any time I try to make any changes to all of the images. I can't add any new photos, can't delete, or add tags. I have repaired the catalog several times. It found errors the first time, but evidently that didn't fix my problem. I also optimized and deleted my thumbnail cache to see if that was the issue. Still nothing. I have other catalogs and they work fine, so it is something to do with this particular catalog. Any suggestions on what to do next? Can I move the pictures to a new catalog without losing the tags? And no, I didn't write the tags to the images because I wasn't done tagging. Besides, PSE doesn't always write the tags correctly, as you probably know. Next problem. When I first open PSE and select the organizer, it doesn't alway open. I can see it on my taskbar (Windows 7 64 bit), but I can't get the window to maximize. I have to close and open several times to get the window to open. Sometimes it randomly jumps to my second monitor like it can't decide where to go. Very frustrating. I would appreciate any suggestions about what to do. Thanks.

Back to the original question, after thinking about this for a couple days I have had two ideas for workarounds:
1) Copy my tag names into the photo metadata and create a new catalog to bring all of my images into. This will allow me to keep all of my existing tags, and it MIGHT solve the tag display problem based on a test with a couple images in a new catalog. The downsides to this are a) permanently writes my tags into the photo metadata which will be bad if I decide to change something later, b) loses all version sets, and c) loses all albums (although I don't have that many). I found instructions for this workaround at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Merging_Catalogs.
2) Live with the lack of color tag display in Organizer, and use reverse searches to find missing tag categories. For example, if I want to find all photos that do not have a "Places" tag, I check the box next to the "Places" category (which also selects all sub-categories and tags below this). Then I go to the Options drop-down in the Find Bar and "Hide best match results" and "Show results that do not match". This gives me every image in my catalog that does not have a tag from the "Places" category, so I can go through and tag these as appropriate.
I would have gone with #1 if it weren't for the permanence of the keywords. I guess I have a commitment problem (or I just haven't got my tag hierarchy figured out yet). Instead, I am going with #2 which should give me most of what I need for now. I will still hold out some small glimmer of hope that Adobe manages a fix for this issue down the road.

Easy way to add a single keyword to an image?

I just organized a bunch of photos I took at a birthday party, and ran into some awkwardness when keywording. Hopefully it's just user ignorance, but if not, maybe someone can offer a workaround. I did the import with no keywords, because I wasn't thinking. Once I'd done that, I selected all images in the "Last Import", hit Ctrl-K, and typed Birthday (which is one of my standard keywords). Then I deselected all images and started doing selective keywording. That's where it started getting awkward. I had several shots that had my son in them, so I selected all of them and hit Ctrl-K. This put my cursor in the keyword box in the right-side panel, with Birthday highlighted. I hit <End>, then typed comma and MySonsName. No problem so far. I delselected the shots and selected the ones that had my daughter in them. The right-side keyword panel now showed something like "Birthday*, MySonsName*". I wasn't sure whether I could just add MyDaughtersName to the images without actually adding MySonsName to all selected images (even those without my son in them). That's the awkward part. What I found was that in order to add a single keyword to a bunch of images at once, I had to enable Keyword Stamping and use that. An alternative was to "Set Keyword Shortcut", enter the keyword, select the images I wanted, and then use "K" to add the shortcutted keyword to the images. Is there any way to simply say "add this keyword to all selected images" in one atomic action? In other words, hit a keystroke, type the keyword, hit Enter, and it's now applied to all selected images. -- Rob Freundlich "Males ae biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes." - Newt Gingrich "Some folks you don't have to satirize, you just quote 'em." - Tom Paxton

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

Does Bridge only Filter/Search Keywords in one folder at a time?

It seems the "Filter" feature in CS6 Bridge will only search keywords in a single opened folder. What if I have multiple folders for image downloads, one per day, in a parent folder for the month, or even a year? Can I use Bridge to filter images in a folder containing other folders?
If not, is there another search strategy I can use to quickly filter images in multiple folders? Thanks.

You can select a root folder, and then select Show Items from Subfolders from the View menu. That adds all contained files to the Content panel, from which you can filter.
If you need more control, you can use Find instead, where you can also do AND/OR operations too, but takes a little more patience.

Continual Mac woes (no question, just a rant)

It's Tuesday, and I am having terrible problems with my Mac. But then, why should Tuesday be different from any other day of the week.
Here is a typical day for me. The computer appears to be working OK. I need to watch a DVD for my work. I turn on DVD player, and put one in. The machine can't read the disc. It clicks and whirls, but the icon does not show up on the desktop. Meanwhile, so distressed is the machine that it freaks out. What was up until now was a fluidly operating machine suddenly reverts back to its old ways (i.e., its ways of two days ago). The hold ups and spinning pinwheels begin to eat of hours of my work day. (Remember the old days when computers made life easier?) The machine becomes sticky, gummy. Oh, I can move the curser and it seems to work for a second but then gets stuck in the dock, which explodes in icons and then freezes for five minutes. Yes. Five minutes.
Would love to use Force Quit, but the cursor is spinning, and nothing is responding. Funny about that old Mac. You can't force quit Force Quit. I guess I need to leave it open all the time.
Of course, FQ usually works on Safari. I have never just "quit" Safari. It always requires Force Quit, otherwise I can't turn off my computer. It stalls shut down.
Now I have a DVD trapped in there and can't get it out. [But I just got an answer from another posting.]
In the old macs, there used to be a pin hole you could stick a needle into ... can't find one on my flatpanel iMac.
I bought my Apple flat panel iMac in August of 2002. Yes, I know that that is a long time to have a computer, but I am not rich nor attached to a corporation that can splurge on computers. The first weekend I had the machine, I had three kernal panics.
Among the other problems I have documented are the following: the dock hiding itself unbidden and other features checking and unchecking themselves (Aug 2002); bus errors connected with OS 9 (Sept); some problems that inspired the tech person (Eric)) to talk me through deleting my user i.d., resulting in the loss of two months worth of e-mail (Thursday, 12 September); Preview problems (September); a bizarre box with an unmovable and undeletable red stop sign in it that no tech person or other Mac user I know had ever hear of (Monday 30 September); printing problems; computer won't shut down, numerous disconnection errors, which turned out to be caused by an OS X update (beginning December, 2002, or later); Kernel panics (Feb); computer won't shut down (March); Faxstexx problems, program won't allow me to set it up, finally just deleted the software (April); keys like "V" freeze and repeat endlessly (May 21); DVD Player freezes (May); Safari and Mail begin quitting unexpectedly (May); cursor begins to blink and fade out, plus odd sounds come out of the speakers, a constant error beeping (Sept 9); DVD Player problems (Oct 4).
I called AppleCare while I had it about once a week (the total between August 2002 and the time it ran out was about 155 calls). Naturally, some of these calls are motivated by user error. On the other hand, many of the issues I have called about were unprecedented as far as the Tech person was concerned, such as the blinking mouse, the red stop sign, and the DVD Player woes.
Things improved with Panther, but in Tiger many of the same old issues have returned.
I have been having so many problems with my Mac that I once wrote a letter to the company asking when do I qualify for a new replacement machine. I never received an answer, but I felt better for about a day. Then I turned on my Mac again.

The spinning ball of death as we used to call it is often caused by a lack of RAM, it is hard to be sure as I am not working on your machine, but sometimes things can be improved with additional RAM, it makes it seem like a whole new computer.
A lot of your problems sound like stuff that can be fixed easily enough, and although frustrating things happen here and there with updates. It sounds like you are in fairly good spirits with it all, I would suggest just researching a bit more into maintenance you can do to help maintain the computer and educate yourself a bit more (sounds like you already have learned quite a bit along the way) and you will find a lot of these issues take you a few seconds to rid yourself of. I would start by making sure you are repairing permissions regularly and running the most up to date software. If a lot of problems persist, try creating a second user that is a "test" user to see if the problem is replicated on that user (don't delete your other one, but if you do find the problem not on the other user, you might have a corrupt user, however you don't have to lose all your emails there are plenty of ways to back it up and import it in, or even just bring the entire Mail folder from your library over to the new user). Another thing you can do if you find a lot of system problems is archive and install the OS, it takes a bit of time, but doing it overnight shouldn't be an issue, and you won't lose any of your stuff.

How can I integrate metadata and keywords in Lightroom with those in Photoshop, Bridge, and Photoshop Elements? In other words, is there a way to retrieve common metadata templates from all modules? Thanks!

Keyword and Metadata Integration throughout Adobe Modules

Thanks! That's helpful.
What I mean by "common metadata", is a unified, updated, most current metadata, which I could update in each program. That is without overwriting the metadata, but appending new keywords to the metadata I created in the previous program.
I use Bridge, then Lightroom and finally Photoshop. That's the regular workflow: Bridge for preliminary sorting and and adding some keywords; Lightroom for organizing and picking the best images; finally, Photoshop for processing. I got Photoshop Elements on trial. Doesn't work for my purposes.
I need to share and update the metadata / keywords when I go from one program into another. Can't retrieve metadata I set up in Bridge into Lightroom. Same happens with Photoshop, where I can't retrieve keywords I add in Lightroom. It's tedious to write up the keywords again.
Thanks for your efforts!

Using iPhote Keywords with PS Elements and visa-versa

In Adobe Bridge, how can I display keywords in their hierarchy, do an "aka" keyword assignment, and perform multi-value keyword searches?

Hi Bridge Geniuses!
I need your help. I am using Bridge to sort and keyword a pretty big photo archive. I have created a pretty long nested hierarchy (4 layers deep, max) and, for a few reasons, would like the parent tags to be automatically included when I indicate a sub-tag. The problem I have now is that the keyword list is distractingly long and organized alphabetically. My first question is this: is there a preference setting in Bridge that will ask the program to display the keywords in their hierarchy? That is, will Bridge present the list as, for example, cars à hybrids à Toyotas à Prius.
My second question is: if I have two or more names that represent the same keyword, is there an “aka” function in this program that will allow me to direct searches for two or more different words to the same keyword entry? (For example, if I want my searches for “Bruce Wayne” to also show entries marked as “Batman.”)
Finally, I would like to know if Bridge will perform keyword searches for more than one word at a time. So far, I have tried entering two keywords with overlap at a time, separated by a space or a comma or a semicolon, and the search comes up empty.
Thank you very much for your help!

I reset my custom workspace and all seems to be well now. My keywords now show, the number of photos each applies to and I can again search.
Thank you.

Images not displaying at their normal size, and not all keywords displaying, why?

Not sure what's going on inside Adobe Bridge CC 2014.1, but why is it that my images are not displaying at full size. Bridge says they're displaying at 100% but I know that's not the case, because when I open the same images in Mac OS Preview (OS 10.10.1 Yosemite) at 100% they're much bigger. Is there a viewing preference setting I'm missing?
Also, I use Bridge and Photoshop on two mac pro desktops: one at my office and one at home.
At work, I created more than 30 keywords in Bridge for several hundred images that reside on my external thunderbolt hard drive. But when I take that hard drive home and connected it to my home mac and then open Bridge, only a handful of keywords appear. I don't see the full list of keywords that I created at work. But in Bridge, I didn't see any option to save or export keywords as a file.
Although the image metadata does appear, because whatever keyword i assigned to an image at work does display on the home mac, I just don't see the entire keyword list.
Can or should Bridge therefore only be used on one computer? Is it not possible to transfer the entire Bridge keyword list from one mac to another?
Thanks in advance for any help feedback with this.

Hi Zenos,
I've discovered what is causing the problem, but I still need a way to fix it, if possible.
The cause of the problem is that in Windows 7 Control Panel > Display I have set the size of "text and other items" to 150% (otherwise everything is much too small too read on my screen's recommended resolution of 1920×1080).
I discovered that Irfan Viewer was also displaying at the incorrect resolution, but I managed to solve that problem by right-clicking on the IrfanView.exe icon and following Properties > Compatibility and selecting "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
I tried the same procedure with Thunderbird, but it made no difference. It is still displaying at the incorrect resolution.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Catsix

Keywords in Adobe Bridge CC and Lightroom 5 not working

I recently upgraded to Adobe CC. We use Bridge and Lightroom regularly to tether while shooting, batch process and search for images. I have noticed that files I have keyworded in Bridge will randomly lose the keywords attributed with them. When we shoot tethered to lightroom we will keyword as we shoot but those keywords do not show up in Bridge. This is a huge issue for us. We have thousands of images and plan on using bridge as a tool for our designers and marketing team to search seamlessly for photos based on keywords. If they are randomly disappearing or not carrying through from Lightroom to Bridge it becomes completely unmanageable and completely out of our hands. And a completely useless tool. Any suggestions?

Keyword list in Adobe system, bridge and lightroom, need standardizing. That's what I feel.

Keyword selection function in Adobe Bridge CS3

Hello,
Does anybody know if and how I can change the "selection criteria" of keywords in Adobe Bridge CS3?
-> selection criteria: If I want to use the filter with the keywords, it selects the images which include any of the selected keywords (OR-function), but I would like to select only those images which have all of the selected keywords(AND-function).
Example: In a holiday folder named "italy", I want to see all pictures with the keywords "beach" and "me". What I get are all the "beach" images and all the "me" images. How can I change this?
Would be great if someone could help me...!
Thanks!

In the Find box the Match drop down has 2 options. "If all criteria is met" is like "and" while "if any criteria met" is like "or" logic.

Display keywords in full screen?

I know you can see the attached keywords for specific fotos in the right panel, but is there a way to see them when you are in full screen mode. PSE allowed you to r-click and get "remove keyword" which functioned to tell you what keywords were attached to any given foto.
is there any way to make the keywords visible in a similar workaround in LR3 or more straight forward way in LR3. it would be great if keywords were one of the options for r-click or as one of the library view options. any suggestions out there?

thanks i just did:
please add "remove keyword" to the r-click options in lightroom. it is
available in PSE and not only shows what keywords are attached to a
given foto , but also gives
the option to edit the keyword list without scrolling through dozens of
nested keywords in the panel. i have 20,000+ images accumulated over
decades and my keywording system has evolved over that time, making
editing essential. the current options are clunky.

I can not see "Keyword" detail

Hello I have got a problem with Windows Explorer and it is
because of Adobe Flash product.
I added keywords to some files with right click in every
file, then properties, Summary and in the field Keyword I wrote
some data.
Then in Windows Explorer in the Folder that contains those
files, I go to View menu and select Choose details, I activate the
Checkbox "Keyword" to view that field in the Details View, but when
I list the files in the Windows explorer under Details View, the
details fields of name, type, size, date modified and keyword
appear but the data I added before to keyword does not appear under
the keyword field in the view of Windows Explorer, the field of
keyword is empty.
I Know this issue is related with MAcromedia Flash because
the checkbox "Keyword" does not appear if I have not installed
Macromedia Flash, it means Native Windows do not have this field,
and that this field is added by Macromedia Flash but it does not
work properly because it does not show the data under its field in
Windows Explorer.
I really appreciate your help
Thank you

Hope it helps
