Roundtripping to Photoshop and metadata

I'm surprised I never noticed this before, but it looks like if you haven't saved your metadata before editing a copy in Photoshop, any metadata that has not been saved is not in the copy. Is this the way it should be for any reason? You do not have to have saved metadata when you export (well, am I sure about that?).

>I've found I get the develop adjustments from lightroom without editing with lightroom adjustments. All I have to do is enter develop, click on edit in external application i history, and they are there............... I have to do a reset. I commented on this some time ago and nobody answered. So now I'm using this to my advantage.
Yes, and it confused me as much then as now. The only thing I can think of is that you have auto adjustments switched on at import. When a non raw file is imported there should be no develop adjustments of any kind applied to the file (see attached screenshot).
>Ian, your explanation that it's a feature doesn't explain why if we save the metadata then it does get applied to the edited copy (except ratings).
When you "save" the metadata, etc you have written in back into the
original file outside of Lr (inclusive of ratings, keywords and labels). Until such times as you use "save" the metadata, etc are unique to the Lr catalog and internal previews (think of them as virtual metadata and/or adjustments, they live in the catalog, not the actual file). In the case of PSD, TIFF and JPEG the adjustments will not even be applied to the file until you export it, thus creating a copy or overwriting the original. In other words, "saving adjustments" to a PSD, TIFF or JPEG does not alter the rendering of the original.

Photoshop and Metadata handling.

We have two related issues we're trying to solution.
(1) If we create a blank Photoshop file ("template") that is merely a size, resolution and color profile, when we add an image (that does contain metadata), the image's metadata is not retained in the template metadata. We need to be able to transfer that image's metadata, automatically, to the template. (We do not want to have to copy/paste.)
(2) Let's say we now have a template with 1 image and associated metadata. We now need to add another image(s) to this template and have the second image's metadata also transfer automatically. (This auto-transfer of metadata would occur for any subsequent image added.)
We are using CS4 v11.0.2.

Bridge CS6- Thumbnails gone and metadata too!

Hi everyone.
I am in panic mode.
I am running Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4) And PS CS6. I recently updated something Can't remember if it was DNG and/or Camera Raw.
My problem started today when i went to view a folder of DNG images in Bridge. Initially the thumbnails of the images showed up, but then one by one, the thumbnails turned into the Adobe DNG icon. This is happening with tiff files too.
I went to Tools>Cache>Purge Cahe for Folder... That did not help. I simply can not re-generate the thumbnails.
I've also noticed that when I click on almost any image, my metadata does not show up in the Meta Data Panel in Bridge.
Another odd thing is all my images are keyworded. I used to be able to click on an image, and see in the Keyword Panel the keywords I chose for that image. That is no longer the case, however when I open that image in Photoshop CS6 and get file info, I see that my keywords and Metadata is there!
And the very last weird thing: If I go to the Bridge menu>Camera raw preferences, nothing happens. I used to be able to set my TIFF and JPEG handling options there.
This happened as I was finishing archiving about 20,000 images so you'll understand that I am a little bit more than upset....
Your help would be most appreciated.
Jonathan

After reading a few things online I decided to try re-installing the DNG/CR Update 8.4.0. That did not help.
I then decided to delete the ACR cache files, the Adobe Bridge 256, 1024, and Full cache folders, since there were tens of thousands of them.
I realize that Bridge might have to rebuild and it would take a while, but was wondering if something got corrupted there.
(I hope this wasn't a mistake).
I relaunched bridge, and as expected, none of my images have thumbnails, but I also see no way to re-generate those!
BTW- All this has happened with my back-up of this archive on a seperate HD.
I am unable to get the CR preference window to show in Bridge but I am able to acces the prefs from within PS CS6!
Going crazy!

Slow to create Organiser Catalog & Thumbnails in Photoshop and Premiere?

This is a newbie question ... I tried to find an answer, however most posts seem to be about specific issues.
Background
I have just upgraded my PC to an intel quad processor (6600), new motherboard, 4gb DDR 800mhz ram, 512mb geforce video card and new 500Gb SATA2 HDD.
I've purchaesd and installed Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere 4 and am now trying to get all my photos and videos into the organiser.
Issue
I have moved all my photos and videos to a specific folder and have run the Get Photos option in photoshop organiser. It finds something like 11,000 items and loads them up. From this point there are no thumbnails displayed, they are all greyed out and it says "Generating Thumbnails" in the bottom left of the frame. I left this runnning overnight, and in the mornign there are still no thumbnails displayed (slider all the way to left to show max number of thumbs).
What I was hoping to do was to load up all images and videos, then gradually work my way through them assigning ratings and metadata ... seems that it is taking an awefully long time to load ... am I following the wrong approach?
Another related issue is that when I load premiere 4 and select the "Organiser" tab, the system seems to hang for a long time when displaying video's only (about 30Gb of videos) ... if I try to page down on the thumbnails of videos, the system hangs and takes about 5mins to re-fresh the view.
Maybe I'm following the worng approach in trying to organise all images and videos at teh same time ?? ... any ideas on how I can do this more effectively, as at the moment it seems that the organiser in Photoshop and Elements runs extremely slowly.
Cheers

Ben,
I suggest loading all your photos first and getting that straightened out before tackling Premiere. So first, start with a fresh catalog and import just the photos into it.
The PSE 6 Organizer has lots of problems generating thumbnails when you first load a catalog, but most people have been able to work through those problems reasonably quickly.
If you have lots of raw files, you need to follow the recipe in this article:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b53a81
Otherwise, try rebuilding the Organizers thumbnail cache:
1. In Help > System Info, find the folder containing your catalog.
2. Exit PSE.
3. In that folder, delete the file thumb.5.cache.
4. Restart PSE.
5. Edit > Select All.
6. Edit > Update Thumbnail.
This can take a long time, roughly 10,000 JPEGs per hour.

Question. CC for Lightroom and Photoshop and, in say 5 years or so, become inactive.

What access would I have to my photos if I sign up for CC for Lightroom and Photoshop and then become only an occasional user. Will I still be able to find my photos using Lightroom? Will I be able to search for photos using keywords? Will I be able to see metadata?
Thanks.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not auto rotate SOME images.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not rotate SOME of my vertical images. Most other photos taken in the same time frame and with the same camera display perfectly.
Orientation is checked for display under Preferences, Metadata, Camera Data.
There also seems to be a discrepancy how Orientation is described under Metadata for those images which DO auto rotate : sometimes it is -90 (which is how I hold the camera for verticals and which displays on most verticals) and sometimes it is "normal" even when it has auto rotated the image. I do not understand this difference.
"Normal" is also used to describe the orientation of those images which DO NOT auto rotate for viewing.
The photos in questions were taken using a Nikon D-300 which is programmed to indicate the orientation of the camera and has always been programmed to do so.
I know I can manually change the orientation but we are talking about hundreds of images (I have over 10,000 photos in all; most of which display fine).
What should I be looking for to explain and correct this issue?
I appreciate anything you can do to help. Thank you.

Thanks for responding to my query. I'll check out the thumbnail size.
It is just so curious that 90% of the verticals auto rotate and the rest do not. The ones that do not rotate are even from different years (other images in those years work fine), although all taken with the same camera.

External editor (PS) and metadata

Hello,
I have my iPhoto 5 library sorted by date and for the most part, any albums are also sorted by date. I prefer to keep iPhoto as the default editor because the red eye tool works most of the time and I like being able to see a larger picture when I double-click on a thumbnail. For other editing, I export the photo, edit it in photoshop and then reimport. I save the photo in photoshop format so I can maintain layers, etc, just in case I want to go back later and change something. The problem is that saving as photoshop rewrites any metadata so when I reimport the photo, it gets automatically sorted to the wrong place.
I would like to keep the time/date stamp in the metadata. Any ideas how I can retain that metadata, but still edit outside of iPhoto (ie in Photoshop)?
Steve

I picked at photoshop a bit more and found that the picture files retain metadata of the date shot. The issue then is that iPhoto's sort by date seems to look at the date modified instead of the date shot. This might be more of a feature request than a real question, but is it possible to have iPhoto organize it's library by date shot, then by date modified (for non-date-shot date embedded photos)?

I keep getting 'camera raw editing now enabled, camera raw requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature' i have run photoshop and the mini bridge in photoshop and it works. camera raw in bridge itself keeps giv

I tend to use Bridge ALOT and just recently i have come across the warning message above, t won't let me open my RAW images in Camera Raw in Bridge. Please could someone help me solve this problem it has hulled my work and its pilling up behind me
Thank you

Details, please. Platform, exact version of Photoshop and of your OS, what trouble shooting steps you've taken so far, etc,

What is the optimum core configuration for a new Mac Pro to process and manipulate very large (80 megapixel) images using PhotoShop and Camera Raw?

Hello:
I will be using creative techniques to process and manipulate a large number (hundreds) of very large (80 megapixel) images captured using a medium format digital back (Phase One IQ180).
Final output will be digital fine art imagery printed using an Epson 11880 at large sizes (up to 60 inches x ?), retaining the highest possible quality and resolution. I will be using Adobe CC PhotoShop and Camera RAW as well as Capture One software. PhotoShop filters will be used extensively.
The Mac Pro needs to be optimized for the above purpose and be useful for at least five years. I plan to max out all the other options (RAM, graphics cards, storage). Performance is more important than cost.
The few discussions I have found that mention optimum core configurations seem to lean toward 6 or 8 (but likely are not taking into consideration my need for manipulating a large number of very large files), so I am looking to this foum for opinions.
Thank you,
Kent

See if this helps

Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
I have:
Photoshop CS4
Camera Raw CS4
Canon 5D Mark ii
I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update ) this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
This led me to the video.
To the point.
Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
Them " Preferences "
then "General "
Then " Plus-Ins"
At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
Hope this works for you as well.

Yes. Many Creative Cloud plans include Acrobat Pro DC with Document Cloud services. Explore Creative Cloud plans.

Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

What is difference between adobe photoshop and photoshop extended cs5

what is difference between adobe photoshop and photoshop extended cs5

Hi,
The biggest difference is the 3D feature set is only available in Ps Extended CS5. Exclusive to Extended CS5 also are timeline for video editing, Dicom format support, Stack mode blending, analysis measurement tools, and some 32-bit painting capabilities.
Some things have changed for the Photoshop Extended CS6 version, mainly enabling more of the video editing features for both products.
