LR2 - multiple image exif doesn't work, in Grid View

In Grid View, I need to place the same information in EXIF Label and Caption fields in multiple selected images. It doesn't matter if I select them all first and then type the information, or enter it into one image, select the others, and then paste the information. Only 1 image will accept the information at a time. I have to cut and paste the info into each image individually.
(I know I posted this question earlier, but it seems to have gotten lost after one response that did not solve the problem, sorry....)

To start off, you can't change any EXIF data using the metadata panel in LR. All the EXIF fields are "read-only".
You didn't indicate your OS, but here's the procedure on the Mac version (I think it's indentical on Windows):
Be sure you are in grid mode in the library (the G shortcut key).
Select the images to be changed.
Enter the info in the caption field in the metadata panel on the right, and press enter.
How exactly are you doing it?

  • Disk Utility image disk doesn't work

    Disk Utility doesn't help
    Hi there!
    I try to install the os x mavericks update on a Snow Leopard 10.6.4 Mac from the Apple page. A message told me there was an error on the disk so I tried to repair it with Disk Utility. It didn't work. It ask me to make an image copy, It doesn't work neither. I am not able to go back or forward from there.
    There was a message coming up telling me "cannot allocate memory".
    I wrongly supposed it was a external hard disk problem so I bought a 3TB hard disc to make an image disc copy but again it didn't work.
    I try to use Disk Utility to repair or make an image copy of the Macintosh (running from my Mac or the Install DVD) but it cannot repair the hard drive or make a disk image. Depending on the options I choose messages like: "input/output error" or "cannot allocate memory".. keep coming up. I don't know what to do any longer.
    Before going forward I want to save my all my data.
    Can you help me please?

    Step one is to erase and reformat the 3 TB HD you bought. Ensure that it's Mac OS Extended with the GUID option. Next, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to put a bootable backup/clone onto the ext HD. Ensure that you can boot the machine with it. Boot into the backup/clone, launch Disk Utility and repair the int HD. If successful, update it to 10.6.8. Boot with the int HD and update the clone. Once that's finished, try upgrading either it or the clone to Mavericks.

  • Elements 11.  Resize image tool doesn't work.  Tried online chat with Adobe  - no help.

    I recently got a new computer (pc) and decided to download Elements 11 instead of the old version that was on my old computer.   I've discovered that the image resizing tool doesn't work, although the other functions seem to be working fine.
    I tried an online chat with Adobe.  Their suggestion was to buy another photo service from them for $10./month !!

    Do you have Resample Image and Constrain Proportions checked?

  • Illustrator Image Trace doesn't work with large images

    Illustrator's Image Trace doesn't seem to work at all with large images.  The attached image shows the following:
    A) The original raster cropped tightly.
    B) Converting the raster with default "Black and White Logo" settings.  Results in 242 paths and 4792 anchors.
    C) Adding a massive amount of white space and then converting the raster with default "Black and White Logo" settings.  Results in 407 paths and 1620 anchors.
    For whatever reason Illustrator can't seem to handle large images.  This test shows it's not an issue with the image being too complex since all I've done is add white space and the file was saved without compression so there should be no noise.
    This type of glitch started with CS6 with the new Image Trace tool.  Is there a fix for this?  Maybe setting Image Trace into legacy mode?

    Moving to Illustrator forum.

  • Copy Settings to multiple images - STILL A NOT WORKING AFTER MANY VERSIONS!

    I have reported the problem of pasting settings to multiple images for many versions and this simple bug is STILL present in LR4!
    In develop module, make changes to an image, click Copy button, select settings to copy.
    Now, select a range or a number of images to which you want to paste the settings, click Paste button.  Guess what?  Only the first image gets the settings!
    This functionality should work and is even documented in the manual.  There are other ways of copying settings but I can never remember how to do this.
    Am I doing something wrong or is this a genuine bug that only seems to affect a few people (I did a web search for V3), or do people just not use this function?
    Please developers, fix this bug if it really is a bug!

    Thanks Dorin for the information.
    I guess I am just frustrated that the program does not work the way it is documented.  There are two very prominent buttons, Copy & Paste and they don't work as documented or as you would expect them to.
    With sync you have to navigate menus to do what one click of the mouse should accomplish.  All I want is some acknowledgement from Adobe that this is a bug and for it to be adressed.  As a long-time IT person I know this would be VERY easy to fix.  If it cannot be fixed then update the documentation.
    Oh well, enough said.  I still love LR!!!

  • Image lightbox doesn't work in Firefox 4.0.

    Hello,
    When viewing 'Larger images' on a website, the lightbox that usually highlights the image, giving it a blacked out background doesn't work any more.
    The image simply doesn't appear, although the lightbox does?
    Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a setting of some sort that I have to enable or an Add On that will solve this?
    Thanks.

    There isn't one yet.

    Hi,

    I'm ordering the view with the column list A.
    The column list A it's a column for type lookup to list B's column.
    In my view i'm ordering with the column list A of type lookup.
    The view with join is not ordering in order growing.

  • Does use-new-list-stack CMD +/- work in Grid View?

    With the use-new-list-stack dock setting, does CMD +/- shrink and enlarge icon sizes in Grid View?  From what I can see, it seems to work in List View, but not Grid View.  But I've read reports to the contrary that claim this works even in Snow Leopard.  So, I'm asking. 

    In Lion, Command + and Command - will enlarge/reduce the displayed icons in a Dock folder set to Grid view.
    I could not get the same action in Snow Leopard.

    Do you have any suggestion what is the problem? Maybe something wrong with the xml config files?
    By the way, There are pictures in the Org units box, int he print previw it's ok, but in the generated pdf there is no picture in the box. Maybe this is related to the first problem
    Thanks
    N.

    Hi N.
    Unfortunately the problem looks to be that you are using secure HTTP to access your photo ("https://...").
    This will cause trouble for the PDF Export add-on to read the image.
    Suggestion 1:
    Are you able to provide the photo URL path without using HTTPS? Your content server link already contains an encryption, there is no need to also secure the communication channel at the transport layer (by using HTTPS). I am not sure if the IT Policy will allow this, but it is definitely the best choice we have.
    Suggestion 2:
    Log a support ticket explaining the details of this issue. Keep in mind that because you are using an old version of STVN, this suggestion might take longer to get resolved.
    Please let me know if this helps or if you need additional info.
    Thank you
    Best Regards,
    Nabil

  • Importing causes pixelation and image resize doesn't work - Elements 13 Macbook Pro

    As I import any photos, from any place, when I open them, they appear pixelated. I watched some tutorials and used image resize, which doesn't do anything but change the size, even if the resolution is turned up. I also saw something about preferences, which didn't do anything, all versions are up to date. What is the problem? Why will it never change?

    Hello Smis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
    This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Desktop image center doesn't work after OS update

    Hi -
    I just updated the OS with software update.  I always had the same picture on my desktop and I used the "center" selection so it was zoomed in.  Following the OS update (10.7.5), the "center" selection no longer works.  When I click on center it shows it zooming in on the preview window, but the actual background doesn't change.  The picture is correct but it stays the same.
    So right now the selections "fill screen" and "center" are working exactly the same. (Again, when I click center, the preview looks correct but it doesn't change the background.) This worked great until the OS update.
    Anyone else having issues with this?
    Thanks!

    Yeap I am encountering the same problem as well after update to 10.7.5 just yesterday... I am currently using a October 2011 Macbook Pro

  • Image sequence doesn't work

    hi everybody I'm having issues with the image sequence function in CS6. When i look at it in the content viewer it works perfectly but when i export it to an SWF file it does anything. is it possible to have this function in the SWF? if the answer is no, how could i insert a 360 image sequence in my swf? thanks, Elia

    DPS is used for building apps/folios for Android, iOS and Windows 8 devices (tablets and phones). As BobLevine said,  image sequences are for DPS only. DPS functionality cannot be exported into other file formats.
    Try the Flash forum Flash Professional to get some info/help on what the equivalent might be in SWF.

  • Image Capture doesn't work over WiFi

    I've got an HP Printer connected via USB to an AirPort Express. I can print to it without any problems. However, if I open the Image Capture app native to OS X it doesn't show the printer, so I can't scan documents. Is there any way to get Image Capture (or any other app which from which I can scan) to recognize the printer when it's connected via the AirPort Express?
    Thanks

    Is there any way to get Image Capture (or any other app which from which I can scan) to recognize the printer when it's connected via the AirPort Express?
    Sorry, but no. Printers connected to the AirPort's USB port are supported only for printing. Advanced printer functions like copying, faxing, or scanning (as in this case) are not supported.

  • Resize image code doesn't work for some JPGs

    Hi. I'm using the below code to resize images and store them on the server. However, with some JPGs, the resize produces a reddish tint on the image. Any ideas what could be causing this?

    I don't know anything about the jpeg encoders, but I do see code that doesn't make any sense to me:
    Image resizedImage = null;
    int iWidth = image.getWidth(null);
    int iHeight = image.getHeight(null);
    // This code ensures that all the pixels in the image are loaded.
    Image temp = new ImageIcon(resizedImage).getImage();What is the point of creating an ImageIcon from a null image?
    int newWidth = (int)this.targetWidth;I don't see where you actually use this variable, so how does the image get resized?
    For more help create a [url http://sscce.org]SSCCE, that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour and maybe someone will take a look at it.
