Lightroom won't display Bridge keywords

Lightroom won't display keywords that were entered in Bridge. Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks.
John

If you are first importing the pics into a LR catalog and then using Bridge to change the keywords, you'll have to use LR's Metadata > Read Metadata From Files to re-read the pics' metadata back into LR. If this doesn't address the issue, then you'll need to provide a lot more detail about your workflow -- which commands you're using in each program, in which order, to import catalogs, change keywords, and view them in LR.

Lightroom won't display

hello all, anyone know what seems to be my source of problem? previously i've used LR 3.6 and here the problem started. My LR didn't show any images/display althought it import the pictures succesfully. So, i've upgraded to LR 4 and the problem still doesn't solve. Any ideas what problem do i encounter? here i attach the images so you could see what happens. Need advices from all of you. Thanks in advance

If they don't show in Develop either, then you likely have a corrupted monitor profile. Try this: http://members.lightroomqueen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1137/188/how-do-i- change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted

Some PSD files won't display in Bridge

Why is it that some PSD files won't display a visible thumbnail in Bridge?
Don

I tried Curt Young's suggestion in the Bridge forum:
When in the folder with the problem click on Tools/cache/purge cache for folder xxx. The thumbnails will be then rebuild and see if that solves the problem. Let all the thumbs rebuild completely (spinning arrow on bottom left corner will stop) before carrying out any other operation. You may have a few corrupted files in the cache.
It worked!

Bridge Keywords driving me nuts! Please help......

I've been directed here by the good people at Elements Village as I have a Bridge specific question that you guys may be able to help with.
I've been using Bridge (CS3, I think) with PSE V4 Mac for several years and have multiple and extensive keywords applied to all my tens of thousands of photos.
I've upgraded to PSE V8 Mac with Bridge CS4. The PSE side of things is fine now. But my Bridge keywords are completely screwed up. With some technical help I've been able to copy my keyword tree from one version to the other. But the problem is that although Bridge is reading my existing keywords, it's throwing them up out of sync, in different parents and in multiples of each keyword. So whereas I had created "All Kids" child keyword under "People" parent in my old version, in the new version "All Kids" appears twice - once as a new parent and again as a child under "Activities", as well as under the original "People" parent. I can't delete the extras as this will remove the tags from all of these photos. I can't move into the "People" parent as there is already a category there and I although I can deselect the incorrect "All Kid" tags and only select the child keyword in the correct place, when I search again on this keyword, it chucks them all up again, with multiple "All Kids" checked. Furthermore, not all photos that I've tagged with All Kids have all three "All Kids" keywords selected, some only have one or t'other tagged.
Obviously, I can make persistant one or both of the new "All Kids" keywords, but neither are in the correct place in my tree and neither will allow me to move them.
This has happened with ALL my existing keywords - multiple copies, in multiple locations.
I've tried resetting the Bridge preferences.
I've tried going through them keyword by keyword and deselecting the new, out of place keyword and re-selecting the correct keyword - to no avail. When I search again, new out of place keywords are thrown up.
I've tried going back to the new install basic keyword list and re building my keyword tree, but the minute I put in a search, out of place keywords are thrown up that I can't move into the correct parent.
I've tried starting again with my keyword system - I imagine this will take months and months and there simply HAS to be an easier way to do this.
I've read and re-read the online manual at Adobe and can find nothing that deals specifically with upgrading versions. As a fairly experienced Bridge user I'm aware of it's powers and am so disappointed that this is proving to be such as stumbling block. When I upgraded my Lightroom last year the move from one version to the next was totally seemless. And after minor teething trouble with the PSE side of things, that upgrade was also pretty straight forward, but this Bridge issue is really frustrating and I'm wondering whether to abandon this upgrade and go back to using Bridge CS3 (which is still installed and is saving my sanity work wise).
So, please, PLEASE, does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this?
Thanking you in advance.
PS: I'm not super technical so need serious spoon feeding through this!

Hi Will
Okay, I think I get. That is -if and when- my KW's never come up
again, I have Bridge on a goose chase for a (junk) word. Now when I
place a word in Bridge search box, Bridge will use it's own quotation
marks around your entry word and look for that.
What I mean is, you are not using some kind of Bridge power search
characters for this search that I might not be aware of.
For example, junk, or NOT=junk, or /junk/
One thing that is driving me a bit nutty right now is, after getting
all my old KW's to display by clicking on the image file days ago,
Bridge placed them all under the hierarchy of "Other Keywords",
meaning my directory structure was lost and every kw ended up under
this new heading.
I went and built new category heading for my many KW's and then,
click and moved these under the new headings and then made permanent
all of these KW.
My frustration is now, that Bridge does not respect the fact that I
moved them to different location. That is they are made permanent in
that new location. But when I relaunch Bridge, and my new KWs
organization comes up, it all looks fine. Click on any picture and
Bridge places the old KW in Italics that were listed under Other
Keywords and throws them in Alphabetical order through out my list,
as if the move is not respective. So I now have two key words for
ever one KW wanted.
I understand that if you take someone else folder and place it on
your system and open an image that those key words might best be down
under the heading Other Keywords or in italics, and that you would
not want Bridge to automatically be messing with your own Key Words
structure.
But I moved these keywords, and bridge does not respect that having
been made, and how I want those KW's displayed on my page. The KW
list get vary long and confusing to look at with words out of place
everywhere amongst my new list. Sometimes you get confused which
ones you are suppose to use when new images are brought in.
it is a laborious frustrating process to clean those italic migrant
keywords out to clean up the house so to speak.
you have to find all presence of that kw
select all those images,
deselect them, sometimes reselect then so that you can deselect them
to get them all
then delete those italic KW
then check the box so that all those images have only that KW under
the heading you want permanent.
My machine seems to manage these small word pieces of data
exceedingly slow. So I may have to wait for a minute or longer for
the list to update.
It seems this will take days. and the list could go "poof" again for
all i know.
Thanks again for your comments!

Photos won't display

I recently bought a refurbished 80g iPod classic. Everything appeared to be in working order except that photos won't display when clicked on. When I click on a photo the screen just goes black like the photo won't load. I don't really want to return it and go through all the warranty ordeals so if anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

To create and populate a new library:
*Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.*
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Project/Albums show as having pictures, but won't display the pictures.

I have a Project and it has two albums listed (indented) underneath it.
I have moved them around a bit to put them in different folders, and now the pictures won't display. By that I mean that if I mouse over the project, a popup (or flyover) says there are 129 versions, but no pictures show up in the browser window. Same thing for the album.
The files are referenced files and the files are still in the folder in the same location on my hard drive so I could delete and then re-import, but I'd lose my keywording, any other metadata tags (ratings), and my adjustments. I really don't want to lose those.
Any ideas?

Sometimes moving projects around can create invisible filters, check Frank Caggiano's User Tip: Images not appearing in browser, search filter is cleared
But your long loading time is suspicious: Have you imported any new images recently? Long loading times can be caused by a corrupted image or video in your library; then you need to identify the broken image and remove it.
Also can long loading result from a corrupted Aperture Library that needs fixing. DId you have a recent Aperture crash?
Have you already tried to repair or rebuild your Aperture Library? See:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library

Bridge keywords and organization.

Hello, everyone.
I am experiencing some issues with keywords in Bridge and thought I would post a question here in hope someone would be able to help.
FIRST QUESTION:
After creating a keyword catalog in Bridge with a certain hierarchical structure I have decided to make some changes and have found it difficult to do it. Let me illustrate. I had originally created two among many categories that I labeled "Cities" and "Airports". Under both I created the keyword "Miami". After I had assigned the keyword "Miami" under the category "Airport" to some photos I decided it would be best to change the name to "MIA Miami International Airport". I created another keyword labeled "MIA Miami International Airport" under the category "Airports" and tried to delete the entry for "Miami". At first it seems to go way but as soon as I move to another photo the delete keyword "Miami" reappears in under the category but this time it appears italicized.
I also tried to uncheck its box but as I do it another entry of the same name ("Miami") under the category "Cities" is also removed from the list of keywords applied to the image. It seem Bridge can't see the difference between "Miami" in "Cities" from "Miami" in "Airport". How can I resolve this issue ?
SECOND QUESTION:
After creating my hierarchical keyword structure I have decided to rearrange things in a way that seems more logical and intuitive. I tried to drag a keyword from one category to another but as I did it appeared under the other category italicized also. In this case the keyword was transferred to the same level of the hierarchical but I also need to change some arrangements so that some keywords will possibly move to lower levels in the hierarchy. How can this be done so that Bridge in a way that won't confuse Bridge or affect the keywords in my images ?
One thing I wish to add is that the option to apply parent keywords in Bridge's preferences isn't checked. I've opted to apply only the keywords I choose and whenever I feel a parent keyword should also be applied I can do it manually.
Any ideas of how these issues can be resolved ?
TIA,
Joe

I do not use hieracy so you might have to experiment. I do know that if you try to delete a keyword, you have to first have find all instances of the keyword and uncheck the box for each photo. This can best be done with search. If you don't, when you vist another folder that has files using the keyword it will write it back into the keyword panel.
You might want to sit down with a pencil and paper and go through what you want to achieve. It is easier to erase the paper than change the keyword structure.

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database? Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
Those are the two options to use.
Here's another fix you can try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - 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
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

Lightroom 5.3 Hierarchy in keywording.

I am using Lightroom 5.3 on Win7 x64. I am having problem during hierarchy in key wording.
As shown in A, sometimes it does auto completes but as shown in B many times it doesn’t and manual entry is needed. People have mention on adobe forum it shouldn’t be working but its working sometimes.
Anyone had same issue. – How you manage same ?

In general, when there is only one keyword with a given leaf name, LR will suppress the ancestor keywords when auto-completing and when displaying the keyword. In your example, there are two keywords with the leaf name "AEPL", so when you're typing the keyword, autocomplete will give you the choice of selecting between the keywords ("AEPL < Places" and "AEPL < People"). But since there is just one keyword with the leaf name "Flower" ("Flower < Style"), LR supresses the ancestors ("< Style"). But when you enter "Flower", you are in fact selecting the keyword "Flower < Style". You can verify this by selecting the image's thumbnail and then examing the Keyword List pane -- you'll see that "Style > Flower" has a checkmark next to it.

Lightroom won't render any images.

I am using Lightroom 4.1.
I have recently upgraded my graphics card and now Lightroom won't render any images!
There does not appear to be a problem with either Bridge or Photoshop CS5.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks,
Paul

More information, please.
When you say "render", exactly what do you mean? That images previews don't appear in say, the Develop module? Or that Lr isn't exporting images?
If it's the latter, what happens when you try to export?

Thoughts please.....

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

IMac 2.66 Radeon HD 2600 Pro: some Excel files won't display in ppt decks

Running Leopard 10.5.8 and MS Office 2004
Two iMac (8.1) 2.66 GHz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video won't display some Excel files in PowerPoint decks, but iMac 1.83 GHz Core Duo will display o.k. as will MacBook Pro, MacBook, etc. Installing a trial version of Office 2008, both iMac 2.66 GHz display the PowerPoint files o.k.
I could downgrade the users to Intel iMac 1.83 GHz, or buy two copies of Office 2008 and support them, neither of which is a great solution.
Looking for a simple fix or workaround on what seems to be a video card issue. Don't seem to see this problem or a fix on the ATI site. I've googled this but haven't run into a similar issue.

Well, Office 2008 is only $110 USD at http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2008-Home-Student/dp/B000X86ZAS/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1251560959&sr=8-1
That seems the least expensive solution to me.
