Keywords/Tags not shown during import from disk

I am trying to populate my LR3 libray with all the photos on my HD by importing them. Many have been tagged from Elements 8. I have found that when first rendering the photos in the Library, the keywards and tag icon are not shown prior to actually hitting the Import button and adding them to LR3. It looks like I can type new kewords and have them attached using Add on Import, but it would be much more useful in my workflow to have the keywords that already exist be shown so I know what to add or change. Is there any way around this?
Thanks,
Jim

Your best option is to upgrade the PSE8 catalog to a Lightroom 3 catalog.

  • Bridge New keywords are not shown on startup

    Hi,
    I have some images, (in folder X) which I tagged with NEW keywords I created.
    When I reopen bridge, these new keywords are not shown by default.
    In ordert to see the above keyword, in the keyword panned, i have to navigate to folder X.
    Is this a normal behavoure for bridge?
    Is there a way to show all the new user ekywords on startup?
    I am working with bridgew CS6, win7 x64.

    I have some images, (in folder X) which I tagged with NEW keywords I created.
    When I reopen bridge, these new keywords are not shown by default.
    I think you use Photoshop or other application to add keywords?
    The Bridge keyword panel offers you the option to create your own keyword list with parent keywords and sub keywords in it. You can also import an existing keyword list using the little menu icon top right in the keyword panel. And export for back up or new version and/or computer.
    If you have Bridge pointed to a file the keywords do show in the list but as italic instead of normal. This means the file has a keyword that is not in the list of Bridge itself. You can make it persistent by using right mouse click on the keyword and after this it shows always in the panel regardless if you point to the file with the keyword or not.
    So if you want to make the most of your search function and using keywords you should start to build your own list. This can be done in Bridge but also in a simple text application. Just try to add some different keywords with a couple of sub keywords to the metadata panel and when done use the export function. This provides you with a good example of how to make your own list in a text application that you then cam import again.
    Off course before staring to create a long list in a text application be sure to start with a short list and see if importing succeeds…

  • Are there any disadvantages to writing data to front panel indicators when the vi's panel is not shown during execution?

    Hi,
    In the case where a sub vi's panel is not shown during execution, does it matter if I include front panel indicators on the sub vi's panel? (these indicators were there for debugging purposes). Is there any performance penalty for this? Thanks!

    If the frontpanel is not loaded it has no time penalties. But a frontpanel is sometimes loaded because of property nodes!

  • LR2.3:  Question on Import from Disk / DNG conversion

    Hi... I notice that when choosing FILE/ Import photos from disk" There are 4 choices under file handling
    1. Add photos to catalog without moving.
    2. Copy photos to new location and add to catalog.
    3. Move photos to a new location and add to catalog.
    4. Copy photos a Digital Negative (DNG) and add to catalog.
    My RAW files are already on an external hard drive and organized in labeled folders so I wish to "Add photos to catalog without moving"... but I ALSO want to convert these RAW images to DNG files on import. What do I choose to apply the "add the photos to catalog without moving" AND at the same time convert those files from RAW to DNG files on import?
    Will this add the newly created and imported DNG files into the existing folders alongside the original source RAW files?
    Under import preferences / Import DNG creation, Is it best to leave the Compressed (Lossless) option checked or unchecked?
    What's best for preview creation? Minimal or 1:1. I will not be working on many images at once so speed is less valuable than disk space.

    Bennett, this is how I do it. Choose File/import from disk. Select raw images to import. Select last option, "Copy photos as DNG & add to catalog." Under "copy to", click down arrow, and browse to the folder containing original files. In the "Organize" window, select "into one folder" if you want them to be in the same folder as originals. Select "by original folders" if you want LR to put it in a sub-folder that it will name. Leave Compressed (Lossless) checked. There is also an option to re-name the files if you prefer. As for previews, Minimal will import much quicker, but LR will build larger previews later. I have tried it both this way, and importing as 1:1. I do not see much difference in working with files that were imported as 1:1 or minimal. LR seems to take about the same time to stop "working" on it before I can.

  • IMovie'08 (7.1) Crashes during Import from Camera

    Well, it is hard to say simpler then the subject line of this posting... iMovie'08 (7.1) Crashes during Import from Camera (PANASONIC PV-GS500). I use 24GHz MacBook Pro with 4Gig of RAM. Importing to OWC 500Gig RAID drive, as well as to the internal 200Gig 7200 RPM drive. So it certainly looks like not because of hardware. I tried to remove DIVX and Pearl plugins from QT folder in Library as it was suggested in previous postings to no success. It seems like I am not the only one with this problem here. If iMovie cannot import from camera then what is it good for? By the way, the previous version of iMovie works fine importing etc. Did I just wasted $79.00? Anybody knows the solution? I hope somebody can help.

    FOUND FIX
    I found this fix in another thread post. iMovie 7 appears to be bugged, but you can import movies if you download iMovie6 HD. It's apparently free from apple for iLife 08 users.
    Here's the link so you can download it.
    http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OSX/downloads/061-3532.20070807.nq3ER/iMovieHD6.dmg
    Hours spent trying all sorts and iMovie HD ... just seems to work. Someone suggested that I use an external HD to improve performance. Just make sure you don't use Fat32 because it bombs when the file size gets to 2GB lol. It's a limitation of the Fat32 format. Since you can't access NTFS directly, you're a bit stuffed if you want to use the external HD with you Mac and PC. Either format it for your mac or your pc.

  • Hang during import from camera or media - HELP!

    iPhoto hangs during import from camera or media reader. Works for 20 or more photos, then hangs. No response at all. Must force quit. After restarting the import, it will go further the next time, then hang again. And again. And again. Eventually the import completes. After that, all is OK until next import. VERY FRUSTRATING. Especially with 8GB media cards. ARRGH!
    I've tried rebuilding iPhoto library (all options). Using iPhoto 7.1.5 on OS X 10.5.6. 4GB ram, intel dual core.
    Help me Obe-Wan. You're my only hope.

    Once you get your photos use your camera to reformat your media card - problems like this can be caused by a flaw in the card format
    And it is better to use a card reader to import yoru photos and after they are safely in iPhoto use your camera to reformat your card - this assues no data loss and keeps your card format fresh
    LN
    I usually use the media reader. After the imports started hanging is when I tried importing direct from the camera to see if it made a difference. No difference.
    I've reformatted the media. No difference. Still hangs on first import after reformat. Multiple media cards, all same result. Tried different USB ports, same result. Tried different media readers. Same result.

  • HT1296 Can i sync my ip4s on to a new pc and not lose music that was not purchased but imported from cd or will it only sync purchased music?

    can i sync my iphone to a new pc without losing music that was not purchased but imported from cd? or will it only sync purchased music? thanks x

    If you're trying to sync your iphone to a different computer than the one that you used to import your CD's, you can't (anymore).  Now that Apple is selling iTunes Match ($25/yr) you can only access non-iTunes-purchased songs if they are either:
    A) on the exact computer that you used to import them into iTunes
    or
    B) are already synced to your iphone
    Now that iTunes Match exists, if you want to move non-iTunes-purchased music that you imported on one computer...to a different computer, you have to buy iTunes Match.  Awesome, huh?

  • HT2905 can someone please tell me why I do not get the delete from disk option when trying to delete duplicate items

    The content must be in the iTunes directory structure for that option to appear.

  • Keyword tags not being imported into Organizer when doing Save As

    I've got quite a number of pictures in the Organizer, and find the keyword searching invaluable.
    However...  When I open a file containing keywords in the main editor, and save as, it offers the choice "Include in the Organizer" which is ticked by default.  This brings the new version of the image into the organizer, but the keywords don't appear.  They are still in the source .psd or .jpeg, going back into the editor and doing File | File info... shows that they are there.
    I got round it by saving with "Include in the Organizer" unchecked, but it doesn't remember the setting of this - it always switches back on.  This keeps the file out of the Organizer so at least you can use Ctrl+Shift+G to import which will take the keyword tags.
    I guess there are two questions here:
    1. Is it possible to get the Save As to put the keywords as well as the image into the Organizer?
    2. Failing that, is there a way to turn off the "Include in the Organizer" check box?
    I've searched the web, messages in this forum, and the FAQ by John R. Ellis and haven't been able to turn up any clues.  Hope someone can help or advise :-)
    Regards,
    Duncan

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    How are you opening the files into the Editor. Are you in the Organizer and you select a photo and the Ctrl-I (or menu command) to open the editor? Or do you open the file from the Editor directly, searching for it among your folders?
    I'm opening the files from the Organizer using Ctrl+I.
    What version of PSE?
    I'm using PSE7 with the latest updates applied.
    What file type are you trying to save the photo as? Please confirm that the originals are .jpg and not RAW.
    I'm using .jpg and .psd, using Save As with the same filetype.  e.g. open dsc1017.jpg save it as dsc1017_modified.jpg
    Regards,
    Duncan

  • PSE 9 "Delete Keyword Tags" pops up during Find

    This has been occurring for a while, and is quite consistent, but I've never bothered to ask.  When I select Find/From History/Imported On, a window pops up with "Delete Keyword Tags" and a progress bar which starts to move.  I always immediately hit cancel, and then the "Select one or more groups you imported" window comes up, so I select the date and things work fine.
    So what is going on with the "Delete Keyword Tags" window?  I've not noticed any tags get deleted, but am I risking losing them if I didn't immediately hit cancel?
    Thanks,
    John S.

    Hi John
    It may be simpler to switch to Import batch view. You can the scroll down then list in date order.
    Click the Display button (near top right in Organizer) to switch from thumbnail or folder view.

  • No sound during import from camcorder

    When I am importing video from a DV tape in a camcorder I don't hear any sound. After the clip is captured, you can hear the sound during playback. Is there a setting that allows you to hear the sound during import? I have tried importing HDV format from a camcorder and regular DV from a tape deck with the same results.

    iMovie does not play sound on import. This makes sense if you consider that most current camcorders do not import in real time. They are faster or slower than real time depending on the speed of the Mac.
    See if your camera has a speaker. You can listen from the camcorder.

  • PSE10 - Keyword tags not all showing when tagging faces?

    When I import a new picture, if I manually add a face tagging box, then click on the text box and type the first letter of a name, only certain of my keyword tag names show up? Some do not??? For instance, if I have the names Bella, Bill and Bess already as keyword tag names, when I type in the letter B, only Bill and Bess show up - Bella NEVER does? it happens with many different names and it is random - can someone help me figure out why it is not recognizing all keyword tag names?

  • Why is my HD not shown as a startup disk?

    My macbook pro died on me, since it has stopped going into safe sleep (hibernate). Only this time I couldnt start it up again, it only gave me the question mark. When I start up from the CD and check the drive with Disk Utility everything is ok. But when I want to set my HD as startup disk I can not see it anywhere. I have run all the checks possible with Disk utility but still it does not show as a startup disk. It doesnt show either on desktop, but maybe thats normal in CD-mode. I would rather not have to reformat the drive if there is a way to get around this.

    So to verify...
    You ran "Repair Disk" and "Repair Permissions" from the install DVD's Disk Utilities?
    If so I assume no troubles found?
    What was the drives S.M.A.R.T. status? This could be found in Disk Utilities First Aid.
    Try booting into the Startup Manager by pressing and holding the option key during boot. This will launch the graphical Startup Manager where you can select the drive you wish to boot from. This is if your drive shows up, which would be the norm.
    If that does not work then you can also try booting while holding the X-key.
    If these do not work then you probably have drive that is dying on ya. Yeah you could format and rebuild or even do an Archive and install which may work for ya, but be prepared to replace the drive.

  • Keyword tagging not working

    Hi, got PSE10 with plenty of imported keyword tags and of course corresponding photes/files. When marking a specific keyword tag, it will not find the tagged pictures?

    This is not the Photoshop Elements Forum. so why not try there?

  • 1.3 import from disk problem

    I have loaded LR 1.3 update, and now I can not import (with "Import photos at their current location" import option) more than one file from a DVD at a time. I am running Windows XP. If I click on one file, it will import fine. Click on two or more, and I get an error message saying "The following files were no imported because they could not be read." If I copy them to hard drive, they will import all at once, just fine. I tried to "copy photos to a new location and import" also. The files copy fine, but I get the same error message when it tries to import them.

    Sorry, John. Not meaning to shout, just making a point. The DVD file copy is always read only, because you can not change it on the disk. When it is copied onto hard drive, it is no longer read only. But this is not the problem. In the past, in 1.1, or 1.2, I did not have this problem. I never had to copy files to hard drive, before importing into LR. from a DVD. And, as I said, if I import one file, it works fine. Do two or more at once, as I have always done from day one of using LR, and it will not read them.
