Missing Metadata panel in Lightroom 3.3

I just upgraded to v3.3 but seem to have lost the Metadata panel. It simply isn't there anymore (on the right in the Library module). Does anybody else have this problem? Can I just install 3.2 on top of 3.3 to get it back?

Have you tried right-clicking or control clicking if on a Mac on one of the elements that is there (in the right hand panel)?
This should bring up a list of all the available elements for this panel. Select the Metadata option to get the panel back.

IPTC extended metadata panel in Bridge CS5

Hi, hope someone can help me here.
I am working in a museum digitizing paintings and using Bridge CS 5 to enter the metadata. IPTC extended is ideal for that, but I can not access the metadata panel to the side. I have found it in the preferences (and did all the clicking and customization) but it still does not display. I assumed that because there were preferences it must be accessible but I am not finding that to be the case. I have accessed it through the info panel in Photoshop but I don't want to have to open every image just to add this stuff, why can't I access it through Bridge?
As a note, I have also downloaded the panel update from IPTC for earlier versions, but I don't have access to those versions at work, just CS 5, so that won't work as a workaround. The site says CS 5 is ready to go out of the box.
Can I access the extended metadata panel in Lightroom? Am I just missing something? Please help.
Thanks.
Miles

Miles:
As Rich Wagner pointed out, the IPTC Extended is not accessible via the Metadata panel within Adobe Bridge for CS5. I would hope that this is only a temporary situation, but have no inside knowledge as to when this might occur.
Use of the Metadata Templates is one way to add "batch" metadata that is only available in the IPTC Extended metadata schema.
Another option you might want to check is the IPTC-PLUS toolkit.
http://www.iptc.org/goto/?iptcplustoolkitadobecs
This is a java driven separate dialogue that can be applied to one or more images from within Bridge and includes all of the fields within the IPTC Core, IPTC Extension and PLUS metadata schemas. You can download the IPTC-PLUS toolkit from the link above. A users guide with full instructions on how to use the various fields as well as how to install are included in the download package.
BTW, John Nack blogged about this option back in July. http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2010/07/iptc-plus-toolkit-extends-bridge-guides-photographers .html
Hope that helps.

Metadata Panel missing in Bridge

I have the latest version of CS4 (11.0.2).
I was working in Adobe Bridge when an error msg. appeared saying that Bridge had a problem and would close. I rebooted, and when I accessed Bridge again, the Metadata Panel was missing. I have "Metadata Panel" checked under the Window menu item, but that doesn't help. I've unchecked and rechecked it, but to no avail.
Any thoughts?

I just fixed the problem by resetting the preferences. I found another problem in the forum that was solved in this manner, and I tried it. It worked, but I have no idea why.

Missing apply during import panel in lightroom 4

Missing apply during import panel in lightroom 4.

On the danger of stating the obvious: Right-click means clicking with the right (as opposed to left) button of your mouse.

Missing metadata browser/panel

The tutorials refer to a metadata panel or browser, on left side of screen. Nothing like that shows in my version. How do I get at it?

In Lightroom 2 the Metadata Browser panel is replaced by the Metadata Filter element of the Library Filter bar, which is located at the top of the thumbnail grid. You need to tap the "\" backslash key to toggle the Library Filter on/off.

Lightroom 5 - metadata panel

I was importing some photos and the metadata panel disappeared. It was there when I started. When I right click it is not even in the list. What did I do and how do I get it back?
Thanks!

Nevermind. I had a brainfart.

File Info panels in Lightroom.

Hello, everybody.
My workflow involves the use of Photoshop, Bridge and more recently I decided to make Lightroom part of it also. As described in Martin Evening's "The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book" I am trying to use Bridge as a front end for Lightroom and think that both applications really complement each other well.
Now, to my questions:
1. I am trying to find the File Info panels in Lightroom that can also be accessed in Photoshop and Bridge. I must have missed the obvious but I haven't been able to find it. Could you point me in the right direction ?
2. Where is the keyword catalog for Lightroom located ? What is the proper syntax for this file ? Is there an application I can use that will allow me to create my own keyword catalog that can then be imported into Lightroom ? Last but not least, can Lightroom have more than one catalog installed ? What about Bridge ? Can it also have more than one keyword catalog installed ?
Thanks,
Joe

Those panels are specific to Bridge, Photoshop and other Adobe suite apps. Sadly, they don't exist in LR. Instead, use the Metadata panel.
LR's keywords are stored inside the LR catalogue - there is no "keyword catalog for Lightroom" concept. You can import a list of keywords using the Metadata > Import Keywords command. This list will be a txt file which you can prepare in any text editor or in Excel. To see the format, add a few keywords in Lightroom, and create a txt file using the Metadata > Export Keywords command. Then just edit this file, or copy its format - eg indenting child keywords.
Fr now, if you are asking questions like these, I would recommend sticking to one tool, a single Lightroom catalogue, for entering your metadata. Until you find your feet, using more than one tool will only make work for yourself and will result in inconsistencies. Also, treat yourself to a copy of Peter Krogh's DAM Book (his forum is good for metadata workflow issues).

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

If you mean that the Details section is no longer visible, then right-click on one of the other section titles like Basic or Tone Curve, etc, and put a checkmark next to Details.
If you mean that the Details section title is visible but you can’t see the sliders, then just click on the little triangle next to Details to expand the Details section to see the various sliders for Sharpening and Noise Reduction.
If neither of these is what you’re taking about, then please show us a screenshot of the righthand panel in Develop.

Custom Info Panel as Bridge MetaData Panel

Hello,
I have built a Custom XMP InfoPanel that shows up in CS6 Bridge just fine! But for ease of data entry we want it to show up in the Bridge MetaData panel. How is this done with the latest best practices?
I have looked everywhere found a number of ways, but ALL are out dated! The XMP FileInfo SDK doesnt cover this.
Thank you
Dean Krueger

Hi Science_DC,
    You are missing the zstring in your label or description and the same issue is with properties too. For testing i changed only two properties but you need to do the smae for others too. I tested after using the ZString and it's working fine in Bridge too. Please find the original and modfied code (only for two properties)
1. Your original properties.xml is
<xmp_schema prefix="custom" namespace="http://my.custom.namespace/" label="<Your label>" description="<Your Panel Description>">
        
        <xmp_property name="Text" category="external" label="<Property Name>" type="text"/>
        <xmp_property name="Text2" category="external" label="<Property Name>" type="text"/>
</xmp_schema>
Insert the ZString like below (inserted text are in bold)
<xmp_schema prefix="custom" namespace="http://my.custom.namespace/" label="$$$/Custom/Panel/Label=<Your label>" description="$$$/Custom/Panel/Description=<Your Panel Description>">
        
        <xmp_property name="Text" category="external" label="$$$/Custom/Panel/Property1 Name=<Property1 Name>" type="text"/>
        <xmp_property name="Text2" category="external" label="$$$/Custom/Panel/Property2 Name=<Property2 Name>" type="text"/>
</xmp_schema>
2. Put that propery file in Custom File Info Panels/4.0/panels (at the same place where DCIM.xml and mobile.xml is)
Following is the screen shot which I got after ZString insertion (CS6 Bridge)
If it doesn't work, could we do remote desktop?

What happened to exposure-related EXIF values in the Metadata panel?

In Bridge CS5, the EXIF section of the Metadata panel would have an "Exposure" entry with info like "1/50 s at f/2.8". This appears to be missing in Bridge CS6. The option is there and checked in Preferences, but it never shows up in the panel itself. I've looked at raw files from the Nikon D700, Nikon D800, Canon 5D and Canon 7D... no exposure information shows up.
I know Bridge/ACR can read the info because it appears in the Metadata Placard, but that is not useful to me. I often need to select a range of images and quickly see if they all have the same exposure. In Bridge CS5, the exposure settings are displayed if they are all the same, otherwise "(multiple values)" is shown. The placard, on the other hand, simply goes blank once multiple images are selected, even though they all share identical exposure settings.
Bug, or "feature"? Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399 64-bit, ACR 7.1.

Anyhow, I was just trying to explain why I use the Exposure entry in the EXIF panel. Regardless of why I need it, it still appears to be a bug, since I can enable/disable it in Bridge preferences, yet it appears to have no effect in the panel itself.
Brian,
Sorry, I did get a little carried away and sometimes tend to forget that everyone has it own needs and workflow
Regarding the other posts I can only confirm that as soon as I alter my DNG files the exposure line (that in default settings is not selected in Bridge Preferences BTW) disappears (I have set to not show empty fields) and after clearing settings the line fills back again with the info for exposure.
Did not check other lines but maybe there are even more.
This one seems to have slipped through during the 64 bit transition and you should file it as a bug indeed because CS5 has correct behavior for this.
You might best do so your self (your discovery) on the Photoshop.com page
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/
and inhere select 'a problem' and describe this behavior.
About your workflow, I tried Peters script several years ago but could not get it to work to suit my workflow. I also have no need (nor wish) for such a large production number but having get used to a workflow and not being able to is quite frustrating.
However I have changed my workflow multiple times due to changed options and often it appeared for the better
I only use ACR mainly for color temperature and exposure to bring back highlights. Often with selecting multiple files in Bridge and with right mouse click copy paste ACR data to have a good start but I do need to fine tune a bit afterwards in ACR. Maybe I give the script another go.
My process is based on the excellent ideas from Guy Gowan, who has a remarkable fast and amazing workflow in PS itself using adjustment layers based on channel masks. And after running the process also easy to fine tune with percentages using button mode in action panel.
As said, everyone has his own workflow

Missing metadata entry

Not sure if this is a Bridge or a Camera Raw issue ...
In Bridge, the Metadata panel will display---among other things---the Camera Raw settings for raw files that have been processed in ACR. But one setting is missing there: the value of the Clarity parameter. This applies to Bridge 2.1.1.9 for Windows in conjunction with all ACR versions, including 4.5 Beta.

IPTC Extension fields do not appear in the Metadata panel (Bridge CS5)

I can see and edit them from the file info (cmd-I) but I cannot get them to show up in Metadata panel. They are listed as a set and individually in the Metadata preferences but no amount of enabling/disabling with or without restarting Bridge will coax them to appear. This is a little disappointing as they are all available in the Lightroom 3 metadata panel.
Is this a known problem/feature/bug????
tks, louie

I heard on another forum that it is just a mater of time before this is fixed.
Times seems to fix everything. However the big question is: will you still
be around when the result is there...

Customized metadata panel?

Can I create a customized metadata panel that displays just the fields of my choice? For example, just country, state, city, sub location, GPS, title, caption, label, keywords.

Well, it won't necessarily be any simpler (in fact, one might consider it less simple) to do using a text editor, but if for whatever reason you still prefer a plugin-less solution (roof-roof), here it is:
* Create a directory in with your Lr presets named 'Metadata Field Lists' (exactly), e.g.
* Download a starter template from here:
http://www.robcole.com/Lightroom/Metadata Field Lists/All Possible Items.lrtemplate
(you may need to right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) and choose "Save Link As..." to download)
* Copy it to 'Metadata Field Lists' folder and rename it 'My Metadata Field List #1.lrtemplate' (or whatever you prefer as long as it ends with .lrtemplate).
* Customize using text editor - be sure to change the title and ID at the bottom to "match" (by example/analogy) the name you gave the file in previous step.
* Restart Lightroom
Note: the starter template has (almost) all possible items (e.g. excludes custom metadata, but you don't have any, yet), so your job is to delete stuff, and re-order to your liking.
Also, if you can figure out how, you can make selected fields multi-line, and move the label to the top of the field, and/or add (optionally labeled) separators...
Have fun, and don't forget: if you're not having fun, consider jf's plugin (meow)..
Cheers,
Rob

Where do I find the original filename in metadata panels?

I posted this question about retaining the filename but got no answers, so I'm trying again. It used to be in LR prior to Version 2 that you could select "Location" in the Metadata panel and you would see the original camera-generated filename. All my pictures in my LR database have this up until I upgraded to Version 2. Now, it's not there anymore. I want to be able to trace back to the original RAW file if the LR database copy goes corrupt (which has happened three times in 2 years). Any help would be appreciated - I can't locate any forum question/answer that addresses this.
