Save Color Label Set with Collection

I'd like to be able to save a Color Label Set with a Collection. I'm getting ready to process a bunch of images and I have two destinations for them: a web site slide show, and Flickr. I want to do a slideshow of a small subset of images, but I want to post to Flickr all photos with a rating of 3 or greater.
I'd like to be able to set up a specific color label set with a color for "slideshow". But, I probably wouldn't use it all the time. It would be great if that specific color label set could be saved with a Collection of all these photos I'm going to work on. That way when I come back in a year and see green photos I get the right text instead of whatever color label set I'm currently using.
Sure, I can manage this by using some naming convention for the color labels, but it just seems like a natural fit for something that should be able to be specific to a Collection.

Press J to toggle the grid view styel. Only two modes show the color label squares.
It could also be that you have turned of grid view extras. You can find the option to turn these on in the menu View - Grid View Style.
It could also be that you have changed the option to show the labels Library View Options.
(Press Command+J to access).
Look that one of the fields under Compact Cell Extras contains the option Label.

Only one color label set per photo???

I had thought I could make good use of color label sets to visually organize page-layout/photo-groupings from collections, like those three red ones will go to page 3 and those 2 blue ones on page 4.
AND then I though I could just switch to a Printing label set to take my photos through a "fix then print" "ready to print" "printed" set of cues.
BUT seems like if I switch to different label set, then all markings of previous set get hidden and if I relabel a photo that used to be yellow in the previous set red then it overwrites the other set as well?
The idea of sets then doesn't make much sense then because it's so easy to overwrite information applied from a different set.
any thoughts? looks like I can only use the colors for one thing and so it now seems a waste to dedicate it's use just to indicate that pics still need to be sent out for printing. Perhaps I'll have to setup keywords for that instead - but they aren't so visual.

Collections, Metadata like keywords, are for your long term Ids. Color Labels, Picks and Ratings are for shorter term operations, as I see it.

One picture in more Color label set?

It's possible to have more "label text" on one picture?
I have more "color label set" (category, portfolio, web....) but I can't join the same picture to more color label set.
How do you use label set?

No, you can only have one colour per picture.
Consider using Collections for "category, portfolio, web...."

Color label setting problems in Develop module

Today is the first day with Lightroom 3, where I have over 200 photos from an event, that I am walking through each photo. I am in the develop module and I am setting the color label to red or blue. What seems to be constantly (not every time) happening is when I click the color for the label, LR will move to the next photo, but not apply the color label.
As I write this I'm trying it out to notice a pattern. What I see is photo 1, I click on the red label and the photo is labeled red and LR moves to photo 2. I click on the red label and LR does not set any color label and moves to photo 3.
Another thing that happened is I was then at photo 3 and clicked on the blue label. LR did not set the blue label but jumped to photo 4 and put the blue label on that photo.
This is very annoying.
Where might I report this bug to Adobe?

Same bug as with ratings. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/679696?tstart=0
Flagging via the toolbar, also shows this problem.
As noted above, use keyboard shortcuts.

How to save Color Correction Setting as a file?

I'm new to premiere pro cs6. Is it possible to save a color correction setting as a file? So I wont have to manually adjust every Video file I insert to the timeline to match the previous. Help Please. Thanks.

To expand on Jim's comment, as this is a semi "non-destructive" editor, meaning the things you "do" to a clip don't actually change that clip on the hard-drive but are stored in the project files for that clip until you export the project ... this program is built around storing the details of the effects and then applying them in real-time to footage as you edit it.
So use that capability. Build up your modifications of the original footage in layers and that way you can turn on/off various parts of your "looks" as you want and as it makes it easier to work. Planning out the layers of effects/changes is a good part of mastering the tools available in PrPro.

Color label sets

Is there a way to create more color labels than just the ones that LR defaults to? Here's my use so you'll know what I'm trying to do. I use a different color for the "model" photo of a particular insect family. This allows me to search using this color and use the photos as my "easy cheat sheet" for making IDs. Since there are more than 5 insect families, I need more color options. Can I create them? Thanks for the help!

You are limited to five colors.
I would recommend using a keyword strategy instead.

Saving Color Swatch Sets with Files

I don't know why this is so hard to do in Photoshop. How can I save a custom color swatch window for all my different files individually. I am wanting to do exactly what Indesign and Illustrator does. I open a file in Photoshop and it brings in the last color pallet I used, instead of the color pallet I used for that file. Is there any way around this?

ID and AI are using simpler objects and colors associated with those objects.
Photoshop works with images with millions of pixels, none of which may directly relate to specific swatches.
You can save and switch swatch preset files if you like. But swatches are not carried along with the document in Photoshop (because it's like trying to carry every grain of sand on every beach in the world).

Lightroom color labels lost on transition from one pc to another

I started using a mac laptop in the field and always used windows pc at home. A portable hard drive holds the lightroom catalog. It's fat32 formatted so it can be used by both mac and windows.
A catalog made by the mac lightroom opens fine in windows. However, all the color labels are lost. The flags and stars are retained.
If a color label is changed on a photo by the windows version of lightroom, then when that catalog is opened on the mac, that photo has no color label. (even though the mac originally gave it a color label)
And all the original color labels that were made by the mac magically return as they were assigned.
To trouble shoot this, I installed the Lightroom 3.6 trial on 2 other pcs - one runs windows 7 32 bit and the other windows 7 64 bit. These installs see the mac created catalog properly.
All the color labels are there and changing one on a windows box is properly reflected on the mac when that catalog is opened.
This is so annoying.
My main pc must have an allergy to my mac.
I removed and reinstalled lightroom on my pc-same problem.
Now i have to figure out what is interfering with my main pc lightroom install.
It cant be lightroom cause i removed it and reinstalled it. but it might be one of the plug ins i use. these magically reappearred even after i reinstalled lightroom after removing it.
Anyone have suggestions?

The color labels are preserved between different programs (for instance between Bridge and Lightroom) and I imagine between different LRs on two different computers only when the texts entered as description for the color labels in >Metadata >Color Label Set >Edit is absolutely identical on both computers down to upper / lower case, spaces, numbers, hyphens, etc. If one dexcription for - lets say the red label - deviates from the other by only a semicolon the label will not display properly.

Lightroom 5 and Bridge 6- Color Label and Keyword compatibility

I've added color labels and keywords to images in Lightroom 5 but I'm not seeing them in Bridge CC.
Lightroom Metadata > Color Label Set is set to Lightroom Default (Red-Yellow etc.
And Bridge Preferences > Labels is also set with "Red, Yellow etc" text.
In other words they are the same, But I'm not seeing the color labels or the keywords in Bridge.
Thanks,

The answer to this problem is that, in order for Bridge and Lightroom to share labels etc. Lightroom has to write its metadata into xmp sidecar files.
To do this go to: Lightroom > Catalog Settings > Metadata Tab and check : Automatically write changes into XMP.

Lightroom CC isn't including color labels when images are imported

I've tried this several times, but it doesn't work. Lightroom CC will import metadata and even star ratings, but it won't import the color label data assigned to the images from within Bridge. How can I get that information to be imported?
In other words, working in Bridge CC I assigned star ratings and color labels to a folder full of JPG files. When I import those files into Lightroom CC, the images, metadata and the star ratings are imported, but no color label data was imported. None of the images have color labels when viewed in LR. They still retain the color labels when I view the files in Bridge CC, but they don't appear in LR.

I just struggled with this for an hour. Any changes made to labels inside Lightroom 5 didn't show up in Bridge CC after reading metadata from file, and imports into LR5 did not properly show Bridge CC's label colors. Instead, only a tiny white rectangle at the bottom right of each labeled thumbnail showed in LR5.
Finally figured it out. In the Lightroom 5 file menu up top, go to:
Metadata --> Color Label Set --> Bridge Default (select this option)
'Lightroom Default' was previously selected in mine, as I suspect all Lightroom 5 installs are initially.
Make sure that the names beside each color are identical in both Bridge & LR, or you will still have syncing problems.
This should fix your problem!

Can Bridge not read / see the Finder's color labels...?

I have got a whole stack of images files, in a few nested folders on my Mac, and they have all been painstakingly individually color-labelled in the Finder with various colors.
I now want to manage these files and perform various actions on them, based on their colors, and so I have opened up the folders in Bridge, but Bridge is not showing the colors of the files.
I know Bridge has its own color-labels set-up, but this does not work in conjunction with the Finder, so even if I went through and re-labelled them all in Bridge, the changes would not be reflected in the Finder -- and I do still need to view the color-labels outside of Bridge / in the Finder, because I won't ONLY be using these files from within Bridge.
So, simply put, is there no way I can get Bridge to read and display the color-label information as shown in the Finder?

So, simply put, is there no way I can get Bridge to read and display the
color-label information as shown in the Finder?
No, you can't see those finder labels in Bridge.
There is however a reasonable simply workaround I would think.
In Finder create several new folders, for each label one folder.
Open another Finder window and put this in column mode. Use view options in
Finder and add the column 'label' to the window. Now press on the name label
at top of this column and your labels are selected per color above each
other.
Drag and drop them manual to the new created folders. And you can easily
repeat this for the other nested folders.
You can also add the new color label folders temporally to the favorite
column left at the finder window so drag and drop is even more easier.
After this in Bridge point to each folder and assign a suitable bridge label
color to it. Now you can work with Bridge color labels
Also in Bridge you have options to rate with stars and add keywords so
filtering has dozens of ways to retrieve your grouped files at once using
the filter panel.

Color labels problem, in french version

In english :
Hello
I was testing with the beta and lightroom beta 2 version 3. Satisfied, I bought french version 3 today. Unfortunately I have a small problem:
color labels have not been recognized during the transition to the french commercial version 3. The reason seems to be related to a translation problem. Example: color purple ("pourpre" in french) appears not with the same color, but with the text, instead of the icon, "purpule". Same for the other colors.
How to get my color labels?
Thank you.
In french :
Bonjour,
je testais lightroom avec la beta et beta 2 de la version 3. Satisfait, j'ai acheté la version 3 française ce jour. Malheureusement j'ai un petit problème :
les libellés de couleurs n'ont pas été reconnus lors du passage à la version 3 commerciale française. La raison semble être liée à un problème de traduction. Exemple : la couleur pourpre apparait non pas avec la couleur correspondante, mais avec le texte, en lieu et place de l'icône, "purpule". Même chose pour les autres couleurs.
Comment récupérer mes libellés de couleurs ?
Merci.

Snoopy,
I think your assumption is correct, your problem is due to the different wordings in the labels (I presume you were running LR3 Beta2 in English).
LR did wirte the word "Purple" into the label column of your catalog, when you marked an image as purple. Now, with the french wording, LR interprets the word "Pourpre" in the label column as purple, and nothing else. You can see these associations in the Library Module, Metadata menu / Color label set / Edit.
To solve your problem, I would do the following for each of the color labels:
Activate the Metadata Filter, with the column "label" showing
filter on a specific label term (e.g. "Purple")
Select all filtered photos
Mark them as "Pourpre"
This will reassign the current (French) terms to your photos.

Applescipt manipulating color label

In manipulating image version's color label,
set color label to no color label,
It results in browser's label column,"no label" not a nomally "--"
Is there way to set label to "--" ?
-- some operations to determine color label here reseult to vResult
-- inside tell image versions
if vResult is equal to "" then
set color label to purple
else
set color label to no color label
end if

Looks like the color label is just a string that Aperture interprets to actually turn on the color. So for example an image marked Orange has an orange dot and the string "Orange" next to it.
So as a long shot you can try try setting the color label in the script to Null (or the applescript equivalent) or even just "".
On the images you've set the color label to "No Label" with the script, do they still show up in searches for images with no label? If they do then does it really matter what they look like in column view?
regards

LR 1.2 Export Catalog does not export Color Labels

I've used the export catalog several times to update Meta Data on a 2nd PC while traveling, etc. then move it back to the original catalog. I thought before that my color labels were lost, but this last go-round I had a lot of pictures tagged with specific color labels - none of which made it to the exported catalog. Bug? Or did a miss a setting some place?

Okay, here's the deal.
Colors are just convenient ways to change the "Label" metadata field, and the color label filters are just convenient ways to search on that field *using the current color label set*.
Lots of things regarding colors make more sense once you realize this.
