Lightroom 5 : Librray meta data shows no make/model for lens

Tanks,I shoot D800 and varyous lens like Nikkor, Tamron etc.
If I view NEF file with PhotoME or some such it shows lens model correctly from lensID if the prohgram knows it.
Wirh LR5.4 it shows forcullength and maxc apatuyre correctly such as 24-70 F2.8 for my Tamron, but it dows not say if iot is Tamromn or Nikkor.
I beleavse in past rrelease itw was hsoimng this so the metadata filter listup with the lens used with make and model insted of just focul length.
I also shoot with Lumix GX1.
The raw file procesed with LR avctua;lly shows lens name for this one.
So it seems to be notr from NEF fiel., I checked old D200 file and it is same as D800 file.
Is there any wasy to see the correvct model and so on, THis also affect to exported file from LR.
Thanks
Ben

Lens profiles are created specifically and separately for JPEG images and raw images. Generally speaking, there are more profiles for raw files. And apparently that is the case with your particular lens. Adobe provides a free lens profile downloader and lens profile creator. You can check to see if someone else has created a JPEG profile for that lens, or you can create one of your own.

Edit Capture Time - Meta Data

Ive imported photos into Lightroom from two cameras and noticed later than one camera must have been accidentally set to AM instead of PM. So my pictures arent in the proper order when I sort them by time. How can one edit the time on more than one photo at a time? When I select more than one photo in the Library view the meta data show "mixed".
TIA,
Amelia

In Grid View, select all the images from the camera that was set to the wrong time. Go to the Metadata>Edit Capture Time menu item. Then, choose the "Adjust to a specified date and time" option and set the correct time for the image that is showing. All the selected images will keep their positions relative to that image, but be adjusted by the same amount.It does exactly what you need.

I have a new IPAD4 which has synced pictures i selected but not music or films i selected from itunes library? I have had an account for years and never had issues syncing with iphone or ipod? when i attempt ipad the data shows and it cycles but nothing?

show the data shows whe i selet for sync (i have ticked sync only ticked icon) and selected two playlists - the data usage shows an extra 3.2 gb off my 32g ipad and the movies show up purple on the data usage bar, i press apply / sync it takes 20mins to go through 5 stages - never once do i see a song title or number in the update display. then when it finishes the data usage bar goes back to the lower amount before i tried to add the music and movies to my ipad?? The only thing that i have managed to move if pictures??
Im confused, ive always got on fine with moving, updating and syncing my iphone, ipod touch, have done this the same way but NO music or films
when i go through the summary section it says i have selected 757 songs (off two playlists) and i movie (from a digital copy via itunes), they show in usage bar b4 sync but then after sync nothing! i have tried both wi fi sync and normal, i have the lastest updates and CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
When i set up the ipad out the box the other day it asked whether i wanted a NEW INSTALL or RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP (presumbly off iphone), I choose restore, it then downloaded all the apps and web history/bookmarks etc, although it took about 8 hours to do it which i thought was odd?!
Ive spent £500 on this and if i cant put my msuc or movies on it that makes it a very exspensive web browser, APPLE this should be easier .......! please help - im no techno noob beither grand master, just your average user so im sure people might know what to do... i freakin hope so!

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Meta Data in m4v files...

Hi Everyone,
I know this is one everyone asks but I can't find a bit of software that will do the job.
I want to imbed meta data into my m4v files for the AppleTV 2. I've been using MetaX, and looked into MetaZ.
MetaX works, but I would like to add the HD logo (and even the SD logo)
MetaZ only works with mp4 files...
I've also tried:
iFlicks
SimpleMovieX
WDFlow
None of these seem to work.
I don't mind paying if its the right tool for the job.
Thanks everyone.
Larry

Yes Subler http://code.google.com/p/subler/ does support adding the HD tag.
On the Mac I wouldn't use anything but Subler for tagging, best UI, best metadata lookup, best underlying libraries for mp4 files (I'm biased on the libraries part).
Cheers Ed.

Can a Photo Gallery be created using the Meta Data with a Widget or Lightroom ?

I want to create a website with a bunch of photo galleries, but I have to have the Titles and Descriptioins from the Meta data used.
Can Muse import Lightroom Photo Gallery's web pages?
Or, Is there a widget to do this?

So your saying import a Gallery from Lightroom using Muse's slideshow widget, which ignores titles/descriptions?
I'm finding it very difficult to understand why Muse would not use this information as it clearly shows the File Names in Asssets.
The workflow seems simple: Take A picture, Bring it into Lightroom, Adjust and enter WHAT it is with Titles and Descriptions, use it ALL in a website.
I've got some 500 photos.
Re-entering Titles/Description information everytime it's used in a website is not something anybody should have to do.
Please help, there has to be a better way to do this.
I'm eager to buy Adobe's product to do this if it can be done.
Adobe is too smart to leave out something so simple with MUSE.

Can you create meta-data templates in Lightroom?

At the moment, I'm using a workaround whereby I add a photo with some of the meta-data to an album then I sync meta-data. But it's a bit of a hassle and I know you can do it in Elements.

You need to look in the application support folder.
Go into LR's Preferences , Presets tab, Location section, click Show Lightroom Presets Folder.
That opens Finder/Explorer. Open the folder "Lightroom" and look for "Metadata presets". You can copy this folder, or individual files, to the same place on the other computer.

Why are so many TV Show's meta data (ID tags) so inconsistent?

I buy a lot of TV shows and find that there are numerous inconsistencies in the meta data, such as Show Title, Season numbers missing, wrong episode numbers. This results in the shows being filed in different folders, or listed out of order in the library, etc. Of course, this data is correctable by editing the data in iTunes (CMD I), however, it then is only corrected in that particular iTunes Library (the actual meta data in the show's data file isn't corrected). This means that if the library is rebuilt, or the file is used by another iTunes library, the changes are not passed along. How difficult would it be for Apple iTunes Store to have someone that verifies this data and makes the corrections in the files? As an example, see how many shows are listed twice in the store's browse list just due to bad metadata. Come on Apple... how tough is it?

While I appreciate your attempt to "answer" the question... it really is not an acceptable reason. First, Apple maintains the database that lists all the downloadable shows, and it would be unlikely that they can not write a simple filter that validates the ID tags relative to their database and kicks out items on an exception basis (or suspect items). It is only those items that need a minuscule amount of time to correct, which is also a function that could be coded to essentially eliminate all but a very simple exception basis review by an iTunes Store IT person. Quality control has always been a trademark of Apple... this function is no exception. While I "somewhat" agree with regard to the files other than TV show, the quantity of shows added per day is NOT a quantity that would cause an onerous amount of extra work...yet it would provide the user of AppleTV (notice the word TV) with a quality listing of shows.
Perhaps I am mistaken in my assumtion that Apple reviews the commentary posted here. It would seem to be a rich source of information for Apple regarding current consumer's issues.

Why can't I select a preset meta data in Lightroom?

I doubt my OS will be helpful, but I'm on an MSI computer, running Windows 8.1. My Lightroom software is 5.7.
I just created a meta data preset called "Regina Photographs", hoping I could chose this every time I import photographs taken in Regina. Lightroom only allows me to select the default preset. "Regina Photographs" is still available, but when I select it, the menu closes and returns to "None". I then give up and import the photos anyway, then try this after import with the same result.
What is going on and how can I chose the preset I want, without it going back to "none"?

In case something doesn't work for something like this, I always make a full backup for an easy restore
Hardware crashes or virus infections or simple software problems happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

We develop drivers in CVI and LabVIEW based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one. While this would not provide you with a QBASIC program, you may be able to create a DLL that you could call from QBASIC.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :

Meta Data are saved but after some seconds lightroom displays again that arent up to date...

Hello,
i've started to use keywords. Also i export all files back to the XMP-Format. On some files the changes are not permanent/lasting.
My smart-collection tells me 5 seconds later that the meta-data should be saved again..
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you

Yes, there are lots of issues like this. Mostly I find that closing the catalog and opening it will solve the problem, or you can read the metadata from the files after saving them. It seems to be a problem that Adobe cannot or will not fix.

Problem writing meta data changes in xmp in spite of enabled settings

Dear Adobe Community
After struggling with this for two full days and one night, you are my last hope before I give up and migrate to Aperture instead.
I am having problems with Lightroom 5 writing meta data changes into xmp and including development settings in JPEG, inspite of having ticked all three boxed in catalog settings.
In spite of having checked all boxes, Lightroom refused to actually perform the actions. I allowed the save action to take a lot longer than the saving indicator showed was needed, but regardless of this no edits made in the photo would be visible outside Lightroom. I also tried unticking and ticking and restarting my compute.
Therefore, I uninstalled the program and the reinstalled it again (the trial version both times). I added about 5000 images to Lightroom (i.e. referenced). After having made a couple of changes for one photo in development settings, I tried closing the program. However, then this message was then displayed:
I left the program open and running for about 5-5 hours, then tried closing the program, but the message still came up so I closed the program and restarted the computer. I tried making changes to another photo, saving and then closing and the same message comes up. The program also becomes unresponsive, and of course still no meta data has been saved to the photo, i.e. when opening it outside Lightroom, the edits of the photos is not shown.
What do do? I would greatly appreciate any insights, since I have now completely hit the wall.
Oh yes, that´s right:
What version of Lightroom? Include the minor version number (e.g., Lighroom 4 with the 4.1 update).
Lightroom 5.3
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
I installed the program two days ago and then for the second time today.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36
What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
JPEG
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Please see screen dumps above
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Trying to save metadata + trying to open images that it seemed I had saved meta data to
Has this ever worked before?
No
What other software are you running?
For some time Chrome, Firefox, Itunes. Then I closed all other software.
Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs?
No, the problems have been there all the time.

Note: I edited your statement: I assume you meant now instead of not.
If you start shooting raw, then you're gonna need a raw processor, regardless of what the next step in the process will be. And there are none better for this purpose than Lightroom, in my opinion. As has been said, you can export those back to Lightroom as jpeg then delete the raws, if storage is a major issue, or convert to Lossy DNG. Both of those options assume you're willing to adopt a non-destructive workflow, from there on out anyway (not an absolute requirement, but probably makes the most sense). It's generally a bad idea to edit a jpeg then resave it as a jpeg, because quality gets progressively worse every time you do that. Still, it's what I (and everybody else) did for years before Lightroom, and if you want to adopt such a workflow then yeah: you'll need a destructive editor that you like (or as I said, you can continue to use Lightroom in that fashion, by exporting new jpegs and deleting originals - really? that's how you want to go???). Reminder: NX2 works great on jpegs, and so is still very much a candidate in my mind - my biggest reservation in recommending it is uncertainty of it's future (it's kinda in limbo right now).

Exportant (the option is invisible by default, but can be made visible by editing a text config file). To be clear: I do not recommend using Exportant for this purpose until after you've got everything else setup and functioning, and even then it would be worth reconsidering.

Images (w/correct meta data) are in catalog and on disk, but LR 5.7 considers them new on Import

For reasons explained below, I want to try to re-import all my images into LR and hope that none/few are in fact considered new and are imported. Yet, for some folders, LR is apparently unable to detect that my source images are already in the catalog, and are on disk, and that the source file meta data matches what LR knows about the images. When I click an image in LR and Show in Finder, I do see the imported image on disk. I can edit the image in the Develop module. So, it seems good, but all is not well.   Sorry for the long post here, but I wanted to provide as much info as I could, as I am really seeking your help, which I'd very much appreciate.
Here are some screen shots that illustrate the problem:
Finder contents of the original images
LR folder hierarchy
an image as seen in LR
Finder content of external LR copy of images
import showing 10 "new" photos
The original images ... (I'm not sure why the file date is April 2001 but the actual image date is January 2011; I may have just used the wrong date on the folder name?)
The LR folder hierarchy ...
An image as seen in LR ...
The external folder containing the images in the LR library
But on import of the original source folder, LR sees 10 "new" photos ...
I tried "Synchronize Folder ..." on this particular folder, and it simply hangs half-way through as seen in the screen shot below.   IS THIS AN LR BUG?   This is really odd, since "Synchronize Folder ..." on the top-level folder completes quickly.
I have a spreadsheet of of the EXIF data for the original files and those created by LR. (I extracted this info using the excellent and free pyExifToolGui graphical frontend for the command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey.)   Almost all of the Exif data is the same, but LR has added some additional info to the files after import, including (of course) keywords. However, I would not have expected the differences I found to enter into the duplicate detection scheme. (I didn't see a way to attach the spreadsheet to this posting as it's not an "image".)
I'm running LR 5.7 on a 27" iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2, having used LR since LR2. I have all my original images (.JPEGs and RAWs of various flavors) on my internal drive on the Mac.   To me this is like saving all my memory cards and never re-using them.   Fortunately, these files are backed up several ways.   I import these images (copying RAWs as DNG) into LR with a renaming scheme that includes the import number, original file creation date and original file name.   There should be one LR folder for each original source file folder, with the identical folder name (usually a place and date). I store the LR catalog and imported images on an external drive. Amazingly and unfortunately my external drive failed as did it's twin, same make/size drive that I used as a backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.   I used Data Rescue 4 to recover to a new disk what I thought was almost all of the files on the external drive.
So, I thought all would be well, but, when I tried "Synchronize Folder" using the top-level folder of my catalog, the dialog box appeared saying there were over 1000 "New" photos that had not been imported. This made be suspicious that I had failed to recover everything.   But actually things are much worse than I thought..   I have these counts of images:
80,0061 files in 217 folders for my original source files (some of these may be (temporary?) copies that I actually don't want to import into LR)
51,780 files in 187 folders on my external drive containing the LR photo library
49,254 images in the top-level folder in the LR catalog (why different from the external file count?)
35,332 images found during import of the top-level folder containing original images
22,560 images found as "new" by LR during import
1,074 "new" images reported by Synchronize Folder ... on the top-level folder in the catalog; different from import count
Clearly things are badly out of sync.   I'd like to be sure I have all my images in LR, but none duplicated.   Thus, I want to try to import the entire library and have LR tell me which photos are new. I have over 200 folders in LR. I am now proceeding to try importing each folder, one at a time, to try to reconcile the differences and import the truly missing images. This will be painful. And it may not be enough to fully resolve the above discrepancies.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'd really appreciate your help!
Ken

Thanks for being on the case, dj!   As you'll see below, YOU WERE RIGHT!      But I am confused.
    1. Does the same problem exist if you try to import (not synchronize) from that folder? In other words, does import improperly think these are not duplic
YES. Import improperly thinks they are NOT duplicates, but they are in fact the same image (but apparently not the EXACT SAME bytes on disk!)
    2. According to the documentation, a photo is considered a duplicate "if it has the same, original filename; the same Exif capture date and time; and the same file size."
This is my understanding too.
    3. Can you manually confirm that, for an example photo, that by examining the photo in Lightroom and the photo you are trying to synchronize/import, that these three items are identical?
NO, I CAN'T! The ORIGINAL file name (in the source folder) is the SAME as it was when I first imported that folder. That name is used as part of the renaming process using a custom template. However, the file SIZES are different.    Here is the Finder Get Info for both files. Initially, they appeared to be the same SIZE, 253KB, looking at the summary. But, if you look at the exact byte count, however, the file sizes are DIFFERENT: 252,632 for the original file and 2252,883 for the already-imported file:
This difference alone is enough to indicate why LR does not consider the file a duplicate.
Furthermore, there IS one small difference in the EXIF data regarding dates ... the DateTimeOriginal:
                                                                                               CreateDate              DateTimeDigitized                    DateTimeOriginal              FileModifyDate                              ModifyDate
ORIGINAL name: P5110178.JPG                                     2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:01:17 11:29:00        2011:01:17 11:29:00-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05
After LR rename: KRJ_0002_010511_P5110178.JPG    2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:05:11 15:27:18        2011:01:17 11:29:02-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05
So ... now I see TWO reasons why LR doesn't consider these duplicates.   Though the file NAME is the same (as original), the file sizes ARE slightly different. The EXIF "DateTimeOriginal" is DIFFERENT.   Therefore, LR considers them NOT duplicates.
     4a. With regards to the screen captures of your images and operating system folder, I do not see that the filename is the same; I see the file names are different. Is that because you renamed the photos in Lightroom (either during import or afterwards)?
I renamed the file on import using a custom template ...
        4b. Can you show a screen capture of this image that shows the original file name in the Lightroom metadata panel (it appears when the dropdown is set to EXIF and IPTC)?
SO ....
The METADATA shown by LR does NOT include the ORIGINAL file name (but I think I have seen it displayed for other files?). The File SIZE in the LR metadata panel (246.96 KB) is different from what Finder reports (254 KB). There are three "date" fields in the LR metadata, and five that I've extracted from the EXIF data.   I'm not sure which EXIF date corresponds to the "Data Time" shown in the LR metadata.
I don't understand how these differences arose.   I did not touch the original file outside LR.   LR is the only program that touches the file it has copied to my external drive during import. (though it was RECOVERED from a failed disk by Data Rescue 4),
NOW ...
I understand WHY LR considers the files different (but not how they came to be so). The question now is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?   Is there any tool I can use to adjust the original (or imported) file's SIZE and EXIF data to match the file LR has? Any way to override or change how LR does duplicate detection?
Thanks so very much, dj.   Any ideas on how to get LR to ignore these (minor) differences would be hugely helpful.
