Possible to export photos from Adobe Bridge directly to Lightroom?

I have thousands of images previously imported and processed in Adobe Bridge. I would like to open my original folders in Bridge, review the images and export only selected images directly to Lightroom. Is it possible to do this or must I import the original folder directly into Lightroom and make my selections by unchecking boxes?
I would also like to import my keywords list from Bridge into Lightroom and apparently that can be done under the Metadata tab in Lightroom, but how do I navigate to the keyword list in Bridge,? Where is it located? Thanks. Bernie M

Judith:
Bridge does have a keyword hierarchy (Keyword sets). I'm not sure if it is brought in to LR as such, but the keywords do come into LR adequately for my purposes. Also, please remember that I am now only using Bridge for older archived folders that were originally processed in Bridge and all new photos are imported directly to Lightroom.
When I select images in Bridge and drag them into Lightroom, all unselected images remain in their original folders, as do the selected images. The selected images are just for my Lightroom Library -- for my normal working practice. If I understand LR, the images brought into LR are not new copies, they are in a sense "aliases" for working purposes and the originals reside in their original folders. In fact if you have the original folders on an external harddrive that is not connected, you cannot modify the images in LR until you reconnect the external drive. So, when you say you load everything into LR you should be aware that the original images are NOT in LR but remain in their original folder, wherever that resides.

  • Syncing photos from Adobe Bridge?

    I have hunted across the web and haven't even found a page that discusses the question, let alone answers it:
    Is it possible to sync photos TO an iPod from Adobe Bridge?
    I suspect the answer is no (or at least, not directly).
    Ideally, what I would like to do is "sync selected collections" to my iPod, including both ordinary collections and smart collections.
    (If you're not familiar with Adobe Bridge—it's a file browser/organizer that, unlike iPhoto, views the actual native folder structure on the computer, rather than having its own database separate from the file structure.  Ordinarily you use Bridge to look at photos—or video files or whatever—directly in their containing folders.  However, if you want, you can create collections or smart collections.  These are exactly analogous to iPhoto's albums and smart albums, so I won't waste time describing them in detail.)
    Since I suspect there is no way set up within iTunes or iOS to sync from Bridge's collections, I am looking for workarounds that will allow me to do this.
    The collections, incidentally, are really just XML documents containing a list of file names (including the full path for each file).  Smart collections are XML lists of criteria.
    I have monkeyed around with aliases and symbolic links coupled with the iTunes "sync photos from folder..." dialogue, and it appears that only hard links will work—not symbolic links to files, not symlinks to directories and certainly not aliases.
    What's needed, then (and I believe this is the only way to accomplish my objective without doubling the hard disk space taken up) is a script/droplet/workflow/whatever that will take the collections from Bridge and create hardlinks for all photos from all collections, in a new directory (with the descriptive title "iPod syncing photos folder with hardlinks of collections' photos"—or maybe something shorter, heh heh.)
    Can anyone scripting savvy point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this?

    The solution I finally came up with involves hard links, and two separate automator workflows.  I posted about it in detail here: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=103600
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Is this workflow possible? RAW photos from Camera to iPad3 to Lightroom on iMac desktop?

    I would appreciate any advice you can give me - I posted the same question on the Adobe Lightroom forum to see if anyone over there knows, but since this is iPad-specific, I thought I'd ask here also:
    Workflow:  Will this work?  Camera RAW to iPad3 to Lightroom???
    I would like to use my new iPad3 in conjunction with my already-established Lightroom workflow on my desktop Mac.  What I have in mind is to shoot in RAW (Sony SLT A-65 - 24.3 megapixels) and then, in the field, transfer my photos from the camera to the iPad3 (64GB version).  On the iPad I might do some rudimentary editing - deleting duds, etc. - but I will still do all my significant editing in Lightroom on the Mac.  Thus, I need to export the photos, from the iPad, in either RAW or DNG and import them into LightRoom once I get back to my office.  My questions are:
    Is it possible to import RAW photos into the iPad3 and either keep them in RAW or convert them to DNG?
    Is it possible to export RAW or DNG photos from the iPad3 into Lightroom?
    What app(s) do I need on the iPad3 to make this happen?
    FYI - I am using Lightroom3, but will upgrade to Lightroom4 if that makes any difference in whether this will work or not.
    Thanks so much, in advance, for your suggestions and your advice!

    MtnTess-
    Importing photos into the iPad can be done with Apple's Camera Connection Kit.  The CCK consists of two adapters:  an SD adapter and a USB adapter.  If you do not already have the CCK, I suggest you get one whether it fits your workflow or not.
    You can import Raw images in additon to JPEG (or instead of, if you only take photos in raw format.)  I do not know if you can display Raw images on the iPad, and it may depend on which camera you have.
    I do not have Lightroom, so do not know about its ability to import photos from the iPad.  Aperture and iPhoto both have the needed import capability.
    Even if your proposed workflow will work, I do not see an advantage to using the iPad as an intermediate platform.  I would transfer photos directly from the camera to the iMac.  You can copy them into the iPad for display purposes, but you do not have to delete them from the camera until they are safely stored on your computer.

  • Is there a way to export photo images and their metadata from Adobe Bridge to MS excel?

    Is there a plugin, or script that allows photos and their metadata to be exported from Adobe Bridge to Microsoft excel?

    I would like to see the description with the image when it is attached to an email.  I would also like to be able to create a DVD of the images that would include the descriptions when the DVD is played back.
    For that you will need iDVD to create a slideshow of the images and then display either the Title, Description or both as shown below and then burn to disk creating a video DVD to play on a TV set:
    If you want the description on the image itself you'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of those below or the free watermark iPhoto plugin, BorderFX.

  • Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files

    Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files in excess of 250MB. I cannot resize as the large files are needed for enlargements. Have all sorts of problems trying to manipulate, add effects and saving most large files. I need some serious processing power. Can anyone suggest what Mac i should purchase? I thank you in advance for your help :-)

    It sounds as if you're having some system-related problems now, unrelated to processing power as such. In particular, a buggy video driver can cause everything to slow to a crawl.
    Medium format files are big, true, but not so big as to cause significant slowdowns on a normally functioning and reasonably current computer. A laptop will always be slower than a well-equipped desktop system, though. Mac vs PC plays no part in this, performance is unrelated to platform.
    Bottlenecks are different in ACR and Photoshop, so that should give you a clue. ACR is computing-intensive and mostly limited by CPU speed. Photoshop, however, is mostly bandwidth-intensive and mainly limited by memory and disk throughput. It's also sensitive to GPU issues.

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
    My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
    Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.

  • How can I access my cloud files from Adobe Bridge or Lightroom?

    Since we still do not have the ability to share folders or perform a sync with ACC I'm betting this question is not answerable, but I'm hopeful. It would be really great if Bridge, and I'll use Lightroom if I must, could access the files within the Adobe Creative Cloud. OK, I understand that sync isn't going to happen, that the cloud is not meant to be sharing or collaborative in nature but rather a tool allow you to send a single file to another Cloud user to get their comments or have them download a JPG. OK, that's fine, a VW is never going to be a Cadillac, but is it possible to modify Adobe Bridge or even Lightroom to look in the users Creative Cloud folders and display thumbnails of the images? This way the user can see a file he wants to work on, allow Bridge or Lightroom to export the file to his PC, open it, work on it and save it. Is any of this even possible today?

    Which OS do you have? In case of using Mac OS X 10.7 and later or using Windows 7 (maybe working on Vista too, but tested on Win7), Adobe CloudConnection is out now. If you use Snow Leopard 10.6.8, like I do, you have a problem xDD

  • How to export photos from ipad to sd card

    For some reason my ipad doesn't recongize readers attached.  Or maybe a better question is how do I know if ipad recognizes reader? How do I export photos from ipd to SD card?

    You can only use the kit to copy photos from a card (or direct from a camera) to the iPad's Photos app, you can't use it to copy content off the iPad.
    To copy photos to the iPad via the kit, then if you are copying the photos onto the card yourself from your computer then you will need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
    To copy photos taken with the iPad, copied to via the kit or saved from emails/websites etc from the iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • How to export photos from iPhoto to external hard drive keeping Events structure (files and titles)

    Hello!
    I’ve been looking for a Automator application that does this for quite a while now.
    Basically I want to have an Automator application that saves a copy of my iPhoto pictures in a folder, inside Finder. Like a backup. Later on, I can save those “folders and files” on my external hard drive.
    What I want it to do is this:
    1) Export photos from a selected Album or Event on iPhoto. Using as title: “Event name” – “number” (I mean the number of the file: 1, 2, 3 …)
    2) Save them in a folder in Finder that I want.
    3) Organize the photos in different folders, the same way they are in iPhoto.
    The idea I had, was that it would do this automatically every time I launch iPhoto, as if it was synchronizing the photos into that folder.
    And then, every time I connect my hard drive, it copies these “real” folders into my hard drive.
    Is that possible? If yes, could you help me creating it, or tell me how I can do so myself, or where to download something like it?
    Thank you a lot! Kind regards,
    xanacarfran2008

    Is this waht you want to do?
    It's built into the File Export function of iPhoto 9 (11).  Select what every photos you want and use that option to put each photo in a folder with the Event title it came from as in this test of six randomly picked photos:

  • Exporting photos from album to disk as jpeg files

    I am using PSE 10 on a Mac and I would like to export photos from an album as jpeg files to the hard disk.  I would like to rename the files so that the first image in the album will have a the album name and index 1,  the second image will have the same name and index 2 etc.   Is it possible to do this? If so how?
    Hans Brodin

    Choose your album in Organizer and press Cmd+A (select all) then Cmd+I to open them all in Full Edit which will place them all in the project bin.
    Then use the menu:
    File >> Process Multiple Files
    Choose opend files for the source (from top dropdown menu).
    Use the rename function replacing document name with index or whatever name you want.
