Metadat Change After Edit Original

When I take say a TIFF file that has been imported into Lightroom and edit in PS by choosing "Edit Original" and than save the edit in PS, when I get back to Lightroom the image has a metadata error icon on it.  When I click on the icon it asks if it should apply the disk or Lightroom metadata.  I click on disk and all seems well.  But why is it doing this and is there a way to get it not to do so?  Is it correct to use the disk metadata?
Thanks.

A couple of possiblities, not doubt more, but the following are the most obvious reasons for the badge appearing:
1. Aryou applying metadata to file on import but not saving it back to the original file?
2. Do you by any chance have the preference for Photoshop history log enabled? If it's enabled your Photoshop edits are recored to metadata (i.e. the default when On). You can check the status in the General panel of Photoshop Preferences.

  • Metadata changed after Edit in Photoshop

    Since I use Lighroom 3.2, I've been getting warnings that metadata have been changed externally after I edit a PSD document in Photoshop.
    Here's what I do. I select a PSD file and press Ctrl+E (Edit in Photshop CS4), then select 'Edit original'. The image opens in CS4 as normal, I make some changes and press Ctrl+S (save). The changes are then visible in Lightroom. However in Grid View I get a warning sign (exclamation mark) telling me that an error writing metadata was occurred.
    Whether I then select 'Import settings from disk' or 'Overwrite settings' does not seem to matter, the image will remain how I edited it in Photoshop. Still it is annoying getting this warning every time and I wonder if I do anything wrong. Anybody else had this, and is there a solution?
    This warning sign only appears the first time I edit a file. If I re-edit the same file again later, there is no warning anymore.

    Exact same thing happens to me as well, but I use CS5. I always choose the Overwrite Settings option. I have spent time adjusting in LR only to see that exclimation mark and hit the Import from Disk option and all of my adjustments go away, (go to history and undo if you hit that). This whole thing seems to be a bug they need to look into.

  • Photo Icons Not Changing After Editing  - Help!

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to Lion and just like Snow Leopard the photo icons have white borders around them, which is fine. The problem is that even after editing the photos in both Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5, the icons don't change by removing the white border like they used to in Snow Leopard. If I turn off the show icon preview, the icons don't show the image of course, but still don't change after editing. I liked being able to tell which ones I had already edited and which ones I still needed to edit. Can anyone help me with this? Maybe I have some setting I need to change? I want the icon to change after editing by either showing the picture or showing the picture w/o border like it used to. Thanks!

    On your Mac disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

    The beauty of non-destructive editing and snapshots (and, now, publish services) is that, just like negatives of old, your editing never has to be "complete."
    When I say "complete", I dont mean "finished forever", I mean "finished for now".
    I dont know how I do it, but sometimes I end up with AutoSync turned on by accident - last time it happened I hadnt even used AutoSync recently, it turned on by itself, upon restart after a crash I think. Even if my analysis is wrong and its entirely due to operator error - the result is the same: massive inadvertent edits until I detect the condition.
    Also, I make another mistake sometimes (I think its me): when fast typing, I end up normalizing exposure across a whole sh-load of photos... - still havent figured out how I do that since I dont even see a shortcut for that. Sometimes I catch it right away, sometimes not until much later.
    Another frequent mistake made by newbies a lot and seasoned users upon occasion: forgetting when edits will target multiple photos vs. just one.
    I could go on and on... - I love that I can tweak edit settings on a whim, non-destructively, but I dont love it when changes are made inadvertently. Locking does not keep you from editing, just reminds you that it had previously been considered "finished for now" - you can proceed to edit if you wish, or revert to locked state after viewing a detalied list of changes. "Save Metadata" has now become obsolete for me, replaced by "Snapshot & Lock". I dont know about you, but my workflow is:
    - After import, spend a good while editing, until done for now (at which point I snapshot & lock), then optionally at some point in the future:
    - Revisit for re-editing until done for now... If thats just one change: say Exposure +.1, and it was intended, I confirm intention then move on. If I plan to make a few more changes, I unlock until I'm done with it, then relock).
    To each their own, but ChangeManager has become my all-time favorite plugin. - Gives me a very warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that my photos will never be changed inadvertently - only intended changes... - I hope Adobe builds this into Lightroom proper in Lr4, but even if they dont, I'm covered. I never realized how much stress it was trying to be ultra-careful all of the time when using Lightroom, to not make inadvertent changes, until that stress was gone...

  • IPhoto does not see any changes after editing a photo in Camera Raw

    Hello everyone ,
    I have some small problem with my iPhoto. I have set up Camer Raw in iPhoto as  External Editor, so when I click on edit in IPhoto,
    automatically opens my JPG in Camera Raw. After editing in Camera Raw I'm clicking on ,,Save image" then destination is ,,Save in same location" When I go back to iPhoto to the same photo, iPhoto does not show any changes I have made in Camera Raw. 
    What could it be or should I set something in iPhoto or in Camera Raw?
    Is there a chance in order to deal with this?
    I will be grateful for any assistance and
    I'm waiting for advice
    Dawid

    Any time a RAW file is edited in any 3rd party editor from within iPhoto it MUST be saved to the Desktop and imported as a new file. There's no other way to do it.  So the photos you've edited and saved are somewhere in the iPhoto Library folder system but cannot be recognized and used by iPhoto.
    The following is geared for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements but might have some info relevant for you:
    Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How is JPG metadata saved after edit?

    99% of my Beta and Prerelease work has been with RAW files. Last night I was playing with importing some legacy JPEG files, applying keywording and ratings. Trying to get some sort of DAM practice going.
    When I make metadata changes to imported JPG files, I see the changes are persistent. I had hoped the metadata would be updated in / written to the actual JPG files, (to maximize flexibility in future). But a dissection of the file shows that it's not there. I assume the data is maintained in the LR library.
    Whoops, here's a menu entry for XMP -> Import/Export that I've never had to use before. (I always keep the XMP sidecar preference set to on. Any import of RAWs, autocreates the XMP files.) [as a former RSP user, I'm a little more accustomed to that paradigm]
    So, I export the XMP data, and instead of getting an XMP sidecar file, I get a copy of the JPG file, which is about 20% smaller than the source file, that does in fact contain the updated metadata.
    What's happening here? Is the metadata update not made in a lossless manner? Is the copy a way of adhering to the premise of not altering the source file? Am I not doing something correctly?
    For me, this is only pertinent to legacy/inherited files; I try to work stricly in RAW. But I may to have to rethink my DAM strategy if I'm going to have to keep two copies of my legacy JPGs.
    thanks ....brad

    Is there an option to write edit data to .xmp files for .jpg files, as there was in Beta 4.1? Most of my files are RAW, but occasionally I use a point and shoot camera that only saves files as .jpg. My workflow is to treat these .jpg files as master files (just like RAW files) and to never modify them. In Beta 4.1 I was able to do this with all of the edits stored in .xmp files. Now with V1.0, I see that all of my MASTER .jpg files have been re-saved by Lightroom, the existing .xmp files are not being updated, and it is unclear where the edits are being stored. I am VERY unhappy with this change as Lightroom has chosen to modify my master files without giving me an option!!!

  • ITunes Match "stuck" @ 6:12 PM -- any metadata changes after 6:12 PM don't stick. Help!

    I found a weird bug that I've never experienced before and don't know what triggered it:
    I've been importing albums into my library all day and I have noticed that any changes that I made to metadata in my library on and after 6:12 PM are not sticking when I update iTunes Match, even if I Update iTunes Match now (8:39 PM). For example, before 6:12 PM tonight I imported a couple albums from the same artist that initially had a different genres for each one. Around 6:12 PM my iTunes Match must have been updating to the servers before I had the chance to change the genre's to what I wanted. On or after 6:12 PM I highlighted all the albums from this artist and changed the genre to the same thing.
    Once my library looked acceptable to me, I must have either manually Updated iTunes Match or importing even more music triggered it, but either way I noticed that a few minutes later all the changes that I made after 6:12 PM were reverting back.
    Nothing I have done so far has fixed this. Even songs that I have deleted from my library since 6:12 PM tonight, still return to my library as iCloud songs to be downloaded. But I deleted them 5-6 times since then!! I've made these changes back and forth to my library, the same changes, at least 5-6 times.
    Song title changes, album title changes, etc etc will not stick since 6:12 PM. Even if I disable iTunes Match, and restart iTunes and iTunes Match and add the computer again -- nothing. Same thing. Even if I disable iTunes Match, and restart my computer, then restart iTunes and iTunes Match .. no difference.
    What is going on here?! Why won't iTunes Match update itself and why is it stuck on 6:12 PM?
    Please help!
    THANK YOU!

    Hi again Jim!
    I used SHIFT since it's what you've used without problems, and it seems to have worked. When I re-activated iTunes Match, and added my computer again, it didn't seem to revert any metadata changes.
    I've also slowly imported a few new albums, which always prompt iTunes Match to re-update, and after each time it hasn't reverted the previous changes. It is only about 10 minutes worth of metadata for a few albums that were always reverting, but for now this seems to be working. I would assume that if a full day goes by without any issues then this definitely solved my problem.
    I am curious, can you tell me exactly what the addition of holding down the SHIFT or OPTION key does when turning off iTunes Match?
    Thanks!

  • Date changes after editing

    As part of my PSE 8 learning process I try out various editing tools (In Editor) apply undo etc. At the end  when exiting the "edited"  image I select NO to save changes expecting everything about the original image (including metadata) to be untouched. Can anyone advise me:
    (1) Why date created and modified is changed?
    (2) Has the encoded (Jpeg) image data been changed?
    I would expect to be able to trial edit without having to create a layer for this purpose.

    When you invoke the Editor from the Organizer, Organizer first does the equivalent of File > Write Keyword Tag to get all of the metadata from the Organizer (specifically, keyword tags) written into the file so it is available in the Editor.  This changes the metadata of the image file but not the actual image itself -- that's why you see the Date Modfied and Date Created changed (though in normal circumstances, the date taken doesn't change).
    Note that other Organizer commands will change an image's metadata and thus change Date Modified/Created: Edit > Adjust Date And Time, changing star rating, changing the caption, changing the notes.

  • Word file ownership changes after edit/save.

    This may be a server issue more than Office, but I've come across some articles relating to this problem in Samba, and thought it might be similar.
    I'm the Network Admin for a school district.  We have a file server that is setup with a file and folder structure that allows students and teachers to access and share documents.  One teacher came to me with a problem.  Students are able
    to create and save Word documents to an assignment folder.  The teacher then goes into the document, makes changes and enters notes, then saves the document back to the folder, overwriting the original.  The problem is that once she has done so,
    the student can no longer access the document.
    After investigation and testing, I've found that ownership of the file is changing from the student to the teacher.  This is a problem based on the way that the ACL is set on the folder.  The students' access is based in the creator/owner attribute. 
    The fact that the ownership is changing once the teacher opens and edits the document is causing the student to no longer have access to the file.
    My question is, is there a setting or other change that can be made to Office so that ownership is not transferred to the teacher?  Giving each user explicit rights to each file and/or folder isn't really an option when I have 3000 students to
    deal with.  Again, this may be a server side issue, but I've not seen this problem with other programs. 

    I'm picking this up because I have the exact same problem. 
    Students are given Write access to a folder (So they can save their work)
    Teachers are given Modify acccess to a folder (so they can add comments, etc)
    CREATOR/OWNER is given Read/Execute so students could read teacher comments, but not make changes to the document once it has been saved.
    When I test it with my admin account, it works great.  I can update the document and the student can open it to see my comments, but not change the document anymore without saving to a different location.
    When I test it with a teacher account, the document changes ownership as soon as the teacher saves.  Once the ownership changes, the student no longer has permissions through CREATOR/OWNER and they can't open the document to see the comments anymore.
    I can't see why this works when my account makes the changes, but not when a teacher account does.  We are doing the exact same things in Word.
    Here is an example of the permsions as they exist on a sample document.  In the example, my admin account (which works fine) gets it's permissions through BUILTIN\Administrators:
    PS H:\> $acl = get-acl "L:\TeacherShare\S2 3(A) Study Hall - Half Year\Submissions\StudentWork.docx
    PS H:\> $acl.access
    FileSystemRights : ReadAndExecute, Synchronize

  • Time EXIF change after edit

    I'm with PSE 10 on MacBook pro. My probleme is each time I edit a picture in the Element editor (RAW or JPEG) the time picture was originaly taken in EXIF is changed. In the organizer it then appers an (1) hour earlier than the file opened in the editor. It's very frustating since all photos appears in wrong order in organizer. Can someone help ?

    I recently switched from iPhoto to Organiser because of the annoyance factor of iPhoto creating vast numbers of thumbnails of 'faces', only to encounter the problem of unwanted Time adjustment! Perhaps I will revert to iPhoto if it doesn't get fixed soon!
    I need to keep photos in the same order for viewing as JPEG CDs. Some DVD players sort and display as Slideshows by File number sequence, others by Date/Time sequence. So I try to adjust both types of data to maintain correct order.
    Camera and Mac time settings do NOT result in unwanted time adjustment on import or edit.
    I now have to manually re-adjust each photo's Date/time setting in Organiser after import and each editing session.
    I carried out the following test using PSE 10:
    Created JPEG file: in Preview>Tools>Inspector, EXIF time is 12:36 (correct).
    Opened Organizer, and imported the photo.
    In Organizer, time appears set back to 11:36.
    In Preview, EXIF time remains at 12:36
    In Organizer, selected photo, then >Fix >Full Edit.
    In Organiser, time sets back further to 10:36 and in Preview, file's EXIF time sets back to 11:36.
    Importing a photo into Organiser sets photo time back by one hour in Organiser!
    Opening a photo file from Organiser, for Edit in the Editor, sets photo time back by one hour in Organiser, and sets back the file's EXIF time by one hour!
    UPDATE:
    I have now found that Organiser only resets Time in certain batches of photos.
    Examing File Info in PSE Editor, Advanced, EXIF Properties, it appears that Organiser sets Time back where Exif Date Time ends with +01:00, but NOT where it ends with Z.
    Both batches of files have Meta Data Date ending with +01:00.

  • Topic code includes unexpected changes after editing

    I am using RH8 and converting FrameMaker files to WebHelp (I am linking to the FrameMaker book). If I use RoboHelp to edit a topic, either through the HTML view or the Design view, the HTML code includes changes that I did not explicitly make. For example, the initial generated code had <li style="list-style: decimal;">, but if I make any type of edit to the file, this changes to <li type="1">. This is a problem because Internet Explorer does display the numbers unless I use the Compatibility View setting. Why is this happening?
    I did find that when I directly edit a topic in NotePad, the results are what I want, but it would be nice to use the Design view toolbar to make the final adjustments I need.

    Just offering possibilities.  Just because there are two symbols in the library doesn't mean you have them separately planted on the stage.  One could be planted inside the other.  And their visual proximity to each other wouldn't matter in any case.
    When you are editing the circle and can clearly see the dquare, are you able to select the square?

  • Metadata in Bridge CS3 lost after editing NEF file in Capture NX2

    Entered keywords and metadata in Bridge CS3, edited NEF file in Capture NX2 and then all metadata in Bridge got lost even if I did not edit any metadata in Capture.
    Original Bridge metadata are still saved in XMP file but Bridge does not show them nor can search or sort photos by them.
    Is it a Bridge bug or is it connected with any settings?
    Win XP, Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9, Capture NX2 2.2.0, Nikon D300
    Will appreciate any help, thanks a lot.

    First I renamed photos in Bridge - sidecar XMP files were created with the new filename already, added some keywords and metadata in Bridge. Edited photo in Capture but not changed the name again - the result was the Bridge does not show edited metadata and keywords anymore even all those info are still saved in sidecar XMP file. Capture apparently does not change XPM in any way.
    It looks like all the problems are connected with renaming files in Bridge before editing them in Capture as if Bridge cannot read XMP after Capture added its own info in NEF file.

  • Premiere Pro, Edit Original ... How? Metadata?

    Greetings!
    I've been given a project that's a mess in After Effects. Think of it as a Power Point slide show, but done in After Effects. I decided to export all of the slides as MOVs and edit them in Premiere. I love the "Edit Original" feature as I can return to After Effects to make changes. However, these comps are named very complex (e.g. 0025_P32_Something something) and I'd love to rename the Clips, Files and Comps to something very simple (e.g. Something v1). I consolidated my Premier Project and renamed all of my clips so the filenames are now simplified, and the "Edit Original" still links to my After Effects project. Yay! I decided to save my After Effects project as V2 (version 2) so I can start renaming the comps and organizing both projects better. My dilemma is when I "Edit Original" it loads my V1 After Effects project instead of V2.
    Where is the metadata saved in my Premiere project clips? I know there is something that says, "reference this After Effects project and comp" somewhere. I'd love to edit the metadata and reference my V2 After Effects Project.
    Thoughts?

    I guess that I am saying that I now think SG is possibly viable as a decent (useable) workflow instead of Resolve ( which I love BTW).
    Resolve may have a tad more "power" but the workflow is a little more involved than what SG and Premiere is now offering.
    I am revisting various projects and seeing what SG will handle.
    Maybe you will try (ttest) with a speed remapped project and let us know what happens.
    FWIW: I would probably have remmaped after cc and grade in Resolve  or used a DI.
