Pushing Keyword and Descriptions in PE4 to DNG files

I have a quetsion on assigning keywords to files. I use DNG files and want the descriptions and keywords I assign in the PE4 organizer to flow to the metadata of a DNG file. (I would like to use the organizer in PE4 becuase its well feature offers advantages over the Bridge CS2 options.)
When using DNG files in Adobe Bridge the keywords and captions posted in the metadata of the DNG file flow directly to the PE4 organizer.
When using PE4, I think I would need to go to the File Edit mode to change metafile properties. Saving this information in this mode creates a second file -- something I don't want right now. Does anyone have expereince in pushing keyword and captions/descriptions from PE4 organizer to the metadata of a DNG file? (I am a convert to DNG becuase it does not use sidecar xmp files, rather the metadata is embedded in the image file itself.
Thanks in advance to any thoughts or suggestions.
Douglas Meredith.

Dear Colin:
Thanks for the suggestion; however, I have tried to use the File/Write Tags for both DNG and JPEG photos and the metadata for the original photo file did not change.
So, my quest continues.

Keyword and description not included in the Page Properties window

There is no Keyword and Description option in the Page Properties window (metadata). The only item available is HTML as <head>. How do I get Keyword and Description options included?

A master page has no keyword or description section, because it isn’t exported as HTML.

Adding keywords and description to filename

I've built myself an online gallery system to let my clients view and purchase their photos online. To streamline my workflow, the script that imports my photos and resizes them for web display will also parse the file name to pull out a description and tags (keywords). So I went in and added descriptions and keywords to a few test images and went to save them out to try running through the script, but when trying to save from Camera Raw neither keywords nor description were available to add to the jpg file name. I figured I could get around this by simply using Bridge to rename the NEF files using the keywords and description, then I could just have CR save the jpgs using the current filename, but even Bridge doesn't seem to be able to access this metadata (and this would add addition time to the process anyway).
I know I can work around this by simply batch renaming the sets of files that I would otherwise add this metadata to, and creating the file names manually before export, but that would add a fair amount of time into the process and eliminates me being able to use keywords in Bridge. I work two jobs right now and anything I can do to my workflow to shave precious minutes off of it is huge to me.
So I guess my questions are:
1) Is it possible to get keywords and the description into my filenames (without spending more time than this process was designed to save)?
2) If not, what's the point of having that metadata?
3) Is this functionality available in a newer version of PS?
I'm using Photoshop CS3 and the format my final JPG files need to have is: "[4 digit sequence number]_[Description]_[comma delimited keyword list].jpg"
Thanks for reading, and hopefully helping.

Sorry about that, was too early in the morning when i posted that. No, you can't use Batch Rename to add keywords to files, i was thinking about metadata in general. The point of keywords is that you can search images for keywords and you can also use the Filter panel to show only images that contain certain keywords.
If you want Bridge to have this functionality then i suggest that you make a feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

Keyword and description fields missing when add bookmark

When view bookmark properties in bookmarks sidebar these fields appear

You can make the fields visible with code in userChrome.css ()they have visibility:collapse).
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

Hey guys,
I have created my podcast in garageband and then uploaded it to Iweb. I submitted my podcast to itunes and it has been approved. The title of the Podcast is Heaven's Lounge and I put it in the music category. Below is the link.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=262795345
However, when I do any type of search it says podcast cannot be found.
I have been reading alot of post regarding Itunes summary, keyword and description tags.
How do I go about adding keywords and description tags? I can't figure it out in Iweb.
Someone please help.
Thanks

Thats fine, but if you want to sync and backup to itunes and icloud then turn icloud off then sync to itunes, then turn icloud back on and sync and back up to icloud, i always do both to have more than just one of them.
Shouldn't really need to do that. I have iCloud turned on on my
iPhone all the time, as I do on all my Macs. I am still able to backup
and sync apps and music to iTunes via USB. I do keep "Backup to iCloud"
turned off in iCloud preferences on the iPhone. I do occasionally turn it
on and do a immediate backup to iCloud then turn it back off. Can't have
too many backups.
Actually did it this morning while contemplating whether to update to 11.

IPhoto Keyword and Descriptions

Over the last year, i have spent a lot of time scanning over 1,400 very old family photos into iPhoto 09 and have added keywords and descriptions. Now I would like to provide the enhanced pictures along with the keywords and descriptions to various family members as files on CD or DVD, but when I create a CD with the picture files (as .JPG), it doesn include the keywords or descriptions. Is there way to include the keywords or descriptions along with the photos so they can be viewed by users who have Windows PC's or Mac's? Thank you.

Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) checking the appropriate boxes to include the metadata - the selected metadata will be written to the EXIF and ITPC fields in the photo so any photo viewer can see it

CS3 - Keywords and Description Error

I have tried to update our Keywords, and get the following error:
If I click OK twice, it goes away, and I am able to type new keywords in. However after entering new keywords and clicking OK on that screen, I get another error: "You cannot perform this action in this region of the page" and any new words I entered are cleared.
Can anyone help me? What I am doing wrong?

I just had this happen for the first time too, wondering the same thing you are Aust.

Is it possible to embed keywords assigned in Lightroom 4 into DNG files?

Keywords I assign to photos in Lightroom do not show up as "tags" when I view the photo's properties in Windows Live Photo Gallery. Is it possible to embed keywords assigned in Lightroom to the properties of the photo file?

Thanks very much for your response. Ctrl-S saved the keywords to the DNG file properties. However, my original question was wrong. I should have asked how to save the keywords assigned in Lightroom to the properties of a TIFF file. Ctrl-S in Lightroom does not seem to embed keywords assigned to a TIFF file. When I check the properties of a TIFF file in Windows Live Photo Gallery after I have assigned keywords in Lightroom, the keywords assigned in Lightroom do not appear as "tags." Do you have any additional suggestions?

Keywords and Description

Hello,
So I entered in the description I want to show up under my website in google, and lots of difference keywords for people to use to find my website. Both of these don't seem to be working. I put it on my 'home' page. Should I be putting it on the 'masters'?
the url is www.mattschwab.tv

You have done it correct (You may want to add a bit longer description?).
It can take a considerable amount of time depending on how popular the site is. It can take weeks or even months for Google to spider it.

How can I check if there are meta tags and description tags for my pages on website?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

Iport of photos from Picasa breaks all tags and descriptions

Since 2003 I have managed all of my photos with Picasa on my PC, I have added keywords and descriptions to the photos. This is stored in the photos and is recognized without any problem by, for an example, Flickr.
I transferred all of my photos to my mac and imported them into iPhoto. The import itself went by without any problem at all. I was happy until I discovered that all å, ä and ö had been changed into other letters. I really wouldn't want to manually edit the tags and descriptions of more than 5000 photos just because iPhoto isn't able to read data that already is there (other services can read it without any problem at all).
How can I get iPhoto to recognize the tags in a correct way?

Usually I'm using English, but the behavior is the same no matter what language I use on my Mac.

Is there a way to connect mega keywords and descriptions to the pages in iWeb?
Also, I have 2 small videos on a page and the first (top) one plays fine but the bottom one doesnt play in Firefox on a mac. It plays on a PC fine. Any ideas?

Thanks Roddy. I changed them from quicktime to flash and added a snippet html piece a guy showed me and now they work fine.

Editing a DNG file and saving it again as DNG using Photoshop

Hi everyone,
I have a set of .dng raw images which I would like to edit using Photoshop and save back out as .dng files. It sounds like a very simple task, but I have been struggling with this for half a day.
To give a concrete example, I have two dng images from the same camera. I want to copy an object from one image and paste it to the other, and then save out the output as a .dng file. This should take me like 2 minutes in Photoshop, right?
Well, when I open the files, it first brings up the Adobe Camera Raw tool, but this only lets me do very basic edits (I can't figure out how to copy an object from one image to another, let alone perform the necessary edits to blend them seamlessly.).
So I click "Open Image" to get them into Photoshop, where I can do all of my necessary edits (copy and paste, brushes, etc.). However, after I am finished and I try to save my edits, Photoshop only lets me save the output in .psd (along with other formats) but not dng. I need to save it back out as .dng, as the next program in our workflow pipeline requires .dng files as input. So how do I do this simple task?
Why can't I save my resulting image back out as a .dng file? I tried saving as .psd and then using Adobe DNG converter to turn it into a dng, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that. I also tried saving as Photoshop RAW, but for some reason the converter can't convert from Photoshop RAW to DNG. It doesn't make any sense to me.
I know that Photoshop knows my camera parameters because it was able to read the original dng files properly in the first place. So why can't I read in the .dng image make some edits and then save it? How are people editing dng files?
Thanks for your help.

Also, there is no way to turn an image back into raw image data after it has been edited in Photoshop. It would be as difficult as uncooking an egg.
I understand that this is difficult if I am doing arbitrary image editing operations, since those operations may not be properly defined in the RAW space. But in this case I am cloning pixels from one .dng image to another. Shouldn't this be possible?
For example, assume we have 2 dng images and we want to take the left half of one and paste it in the same position over the other. I am not familiar with the dng spec, but at some level it should encode the values at each pixel (perhaps with the appropriate camera curve). So I just simply want to overwrite the values of one .dng image with values at the same pixels of the other, and since it's the same camera with the same settings used for both this should be possible, right? In the worst case, I could write a program based on the DNG spec that parses the two dng files, overwrites the necessary pixel information simply using the second image's data, and then writes the dng back out. But this seems like a complicated way to do something that there should be an Adobe tool to do.
Perhaps it would help if I tell you exactly why I need this for. We are capturing raw video using the Blackmagic Cinema Camera which outputs a directory full of 2.5k dng images for each take. We were doing a take of a scene using a tripod, but an otherwise great take was ruined because at one point a crew member poked their head into frame. So I want to use information from the other dng frames to overwrite this portion of this image to hide this problem.
If these were regular images (.jpg, .tif, .exr) it would take us no time in Photoshop to use the information from the other "good" frames to fix this problem seamlessly. However, we would like to keep everything in dng format so that I can then read everything into DaVinci Resolve for color grading correctly. Any idea on how I can do this, if I can't use Photoshop?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Lightroom and Samsung GX-10 DNG files

Hi
i've got a problem with LR and the samsung GX-10 DNG file format.
It semmes that LR does not read correctly this Raw file
at the begin of the rendering, the image has good colors but they change at the end of the rendering. Colors are more dark and finally the photo is not nice.
I've done the same test with raw therapee and the rendering is better.
Have you got informations about.
It's such a pity because LR is great. i like it !
regards

yeah,, I know about raw data , and yes, wrong or not, the rendition of gx-10 pictures are very "bad" compared with other softwares and with my eyes, and I think that you can understand when i said "bad" no?, there aren't a wrong or correct in raw color but the people speaks about the wrong o correct colors all the time, i think that you understand when speak about bad colors, a bad WB , etc.
I know that i can make my own profile but is not easy, to generate a good profile I need a Macbeth ColorChecker or something like that for example and precise sources of light (like a tungsten) and taking account about that samsung cameras are "clones" of the pentax ones and that samsung shoots in DNG format (and not a propietary raw format) seems easy solve the problem about color interpretation of GX-10. With time I will buy a color-checker and try, but would be great a correct interpretaion of the own samsung colors
PD2: When i know about samsung "adobe-DNG" capacity, i didn't expect have problems with adobe soft and color intrepretation or something like that.
PD: Sorry , I don't speak english well, and so I can't express me very well , only basics
