Star rating disppear from images in Lightroom

When shooting tethered, my client has chosen the images and star rated those she likes. When I imported all the raw files into Lightroom 5.4, all the star rating are missing.
How can I see the star rating again in Lightroom? I cannot remember all the images that are chosen.
Can someone please help?

I have a feeling the * are lost; but as others, I can only understand the importing of the untethered files which I guess were not starred.
After the bull has escaped>>To keep the order as photographed you only needed to select "capture time" for Sort. Files could be moved into one job folder and everything is in order as long as any different cameras have the same time. I have made THAT mistake
Sorry, not sure that is any help for you atm.

How do i prevent lightroom from automatically applying a star rating to my images during my import?

i have consistently imported images, apply my metadata preset, location(folder).
i then scroll thru my filmstrip and apply star ratings.
suddenly my images are appearing with a one star rating automatically.
not sure why?

The first place to check is your Metadata Preset you are applying on/just after import. Is it applying the stars?

Star rating changes date modified!

Why would changing a star rating on an image change the date modified and the sort order if I'm sorting by date modified. This makes no sense! I have not edited the file. Which file was edited last is far more important than when I gave a file a star rating.
Also when a file is saved as a different file type it loses it's star rating! So then I have to go back and rate it again and it changes the date modified!!!
I have used Bridge a long time and have not noticed it doing this. Am I just going nuts and it's always done it this way?

Yeah I've heard that before but it's really not. In date modified you want to know when the file was edited last not the star rating changed. I change star ratings all the time. That gives me another way to sort the images. The way it is now all the modified files get scrambled. It's frankly absurd. You would never see that in Photo Mechanic or iTunes, etc. If people want it to work like that it should be an option in preferences.

Star Rating bar does not appear with images imported from file

Using Elements 11, cannot get the Star Rating bar to appear under images imported from file, although the intro to the program shows this as happening automatically.
Hope this goes through, as I have also created an account, but the question does not seem to be get a post.
Help!

Lightroom Star Rating Loss on Import

Hello everyone!
Longtime LR user, new to the forums and looking for a bit of insight.
When shooting on deadline, I start my workflow by running my images through Photo Mechanic where I star rate, caption and FTP a few. Afterwards I typically head home and then import my images into LR for further processing and cataloging.
What I've discovered is that I will occasionally lose the star rating on about 65% - 75% of those images if I begin to evaluate the them immediately after they've been imported.
(Typically importing between 1000 - 3000 RAW images with "Minimal" previews.)
(Evaluate by showing larger previews or asking to just see starred images.)
This problem does not occur if I give LR about 7 to 10 minutes after I've imported the images and then ask to see only star rated images. When I give it that extra time after import, my star ratings will invariably show up every time without problem.
I have taken note of the fact that even when selecting "Minimal" previews LR will still "process" the files as I can see their color shifting photo after photo within grid mode as I sit in front of my computer. It is my presumption that it is during this time that LR is evaluating the XMP info and adding that info to the catalog. I presume this because it seems that after LR has completed this process all of my star rated images will show up.
If this is in fact what is happening, part of my problem is there is no way for me to determine when LR is done with this initial "processing". This is because it seems LR begins "processing" whichever images are currently being displayed. I know this because as I scroll down the grid of images I see the color shift to begin on the frames that I've just scrolled to. Consequently I have no way of determining when this initial "processing" is done other than to give LR 7 - 10 minutes.
I should also mention that I have on occasion quit LR, reopened the folder containing my images in Photo Mechanic and all of the star ratings show up as they should. I have then quit Photo Mechanic, restarted LR selected all the images and then prompted it to "Read Metadata from File" but it still does not adapt the star rating that is associated with each image.
The only way for me to fix this issue is by removing the folder containing the errored images, re-import it into LR, give LR 7 - 10 minutes to "process" it's contents, and hope that when I do go to look at only starred images it will have completed it's initial processing to reveal all of those images that have been star rated.
Re-reading this I see that it's a mouthful but do hope that you might be able to answer these questions:
1. Is it this "processing" that I'm waiting for Lightroom to complete upon initial in import?
2. Is there a way for me to tell when that "processing" is complete?
3. Why doesn't forcing LR to "Read Metadata from File" overcome this problem?
Currently running LR 3.4.1 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8.
Thank you sincerely for your help ( :

Hi Bill
The new people icons in PSE11 & PSE12 are not the same as keywords. You could use them as the basis to add keywords (names) in PSE and perhaps write metadata to files. Then start over in Lightroom:
File >>New Catalog
Choose a new catalog name and save.
When the empty Lightroom catalog opens - try the import from PSE again.

Missing stars when importing edited images from Bridge - why?

Why do my previously rated images from Bridge appear without the stars after conversion to DNG and importation into Lightroom? I am having to use the "Update DNG Preview and Metadata" under the Metadata menu to see the stars again. I thought with CS3 and Lightroom 1.3 metadata between Bridge and Lightroom automatically shows up?

It works on my system.
(Rated in Bridge Content Tab by clicking on Star Rating on bottom of thumbnail frame.
Went to Lightroom, Import Photos from Disk; chose "Copy photos as Digital Negative (DNG) and import", chose a folder to "Copy to" etc.
The photos appeared in Lightroom with Star Ratings on Thumbnail frames and in the metadata panel.
I used Bridge CS3 V2.1.1.9, Lightroom V1.3.1 on Windows XP Pro SP2.)

No images in Lightroom 3.4 after upgrading from 3.3

Hi all,
after upgrading from 3.3 to 3.4 and registration process I can't see any images in Lightroom. All functions are there, but no images are seen. All images have a grey background. I rebooted the computer several times, no effect.
I am completely confused with this. Can anybody give me a hint, please?

Why can't I delete images in lightroom but can remove them from catalog?

Just recently I have been experiencing difficulties in deleting images in Lightroom 5. In the develop module, I select the image I would like to delete, I choose delete from disk, and choose permanently delete them, and nothing happens. I try flagging it with an X, and under photo menu delete all rejected photos, but that does not work either. What may I be doing wrong?

Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

How do I import GPS information for all of my images from Bridge into Lightroom 5.3?

After importing my images into Lightroom 5.3, I discovered that the GPS location data was imported for some images, but not for others. When I checked the metadata files for the same images in Bridge, the location data was present for all of my recently downloaded images.
Why would Lightroom import the GPS data for some images and not others?
Is there any way to import the location data from the Bridge metadata files into Lightroom?

Tony,
Thank you for your suggestion. I had already tried several approaches along those lines without success. In the end, the GPS data was still present in Bridge metadata file for each image, but not in the Lightroom metadata files for the same images.
So, I went back to Lightroom, and did some further exploring on the internet for solutions. Just as I was wondering whether or not the problem might be rooted in my download presets (i.e., setting copyright into, etc.), I stumbled across a reference by a Pentax owner that identified the same problem. Here's the link:
http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/115-pentax-k-5/203274-gps-data-not-importing-into-light room-4-2-a.html
In a nutshell, I can download all of the metadata, including the GPS location information, but only if I do NOT use any metadata presets. If I use a metadata preset when downloading my images, no GPS data can be seen in the Lightroom metadata files, but it does import into Bridge's metadata files. I've now tried this both ways, several times now, and have verified this result.
I also tried re-downloading images with no presets, and replacing (copying over) the image from my original download. This did not solve the missing GPS data in the Lightroom metadata. From this point, all that I could think of doing was removing all of my recent downloads from Lightroom, and starting over. However, I'd already started editing my images, and I didn't want to lose that time.
So, I re-downloaded all of my recent images from my memory cards as a copy into each file without any metadata presets. Then, after selecting the copy first, followed by selecting the original (order is important), I toggled 'Sync Metadata' under the Metadata tab in Lightroom. Voila, the GPS data appeared in the original metadata. When this is done for all of my images, I will delete the second copies in my files. Once I am satisfied that everything is okay, and my images are backed up satisfactorily, and only then, will I reformat my memory cards.
This whole experience has surfaced an interesting quirk in Lightroom, or in my Lightroom settings that I don't understand. It may be something that Adobe might want to look into further, if others are finding a similar problem.

How to move images from Picasa to Lightroom 5 on a mac?

How to import images from Picasa to Lightroom 5 on a mac?

Hi, lnmyers,
I have thousands of pictures stored in Picasa, all of which are stored in my Picasa Web Albums. They are no longer in a directory on my hard-drive, that particular hard-drive having died ages ago. Thank goodness I uploaded them to Picasa's cloud before the hard-drive died. Should that ever darken, I am in trouble. I digress. I downloaded the pictures I wanted from Picasa Web Albums to my new external hard-drive that I set up and attached to my mac. For example: I had a an album called "California 2013" stored in the Picasa cloud. I downloaded the entire album to a folder on my Seagate external drive that I call Lightroom within which I have a folder called California 2013. It took about twenty minutes to get them all (300+ photos). Then, I pointed LR to the California 2013 folder on the Seagate external drive when I wanted to catalogue the pictures into LR. I did not worry about metadata; I took whatever came with the pictures and didn't worry about it. I added copyright, keywords, and ownership info with LR.
I hope that helps.

How to save images from Photoshop to Lightroom 5.4?

I edit images in Photoshop CC, save and I don't see the images in Lightroom. This started happening when I upgraded to version 5.4. I've glanced at other threads that spoke to the same issue and I've tried all of the suggestions to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if this is because I am using IMAP to connect to gmail so it doesn't really see them (but seems to work with other pictures emailed to me) or whether it is due to the iPhone 'embedding' the images rather than attaching them?
Photos sent as true attachments to the message are not embedded with the iPhone's Mail client. Photos sent as true attachments are displayed inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, which is not the same as being embedded.
Doing this with an email client on your computer, there should be nothing special or different with the photos emailed by your iPhone with your Gmail account. I regularly send photos with my MobileMe account from my iPhone, and I can save the photos sent with my MobileMe account from the account's server stored Sent mailbox with the Mail.app on my Mac. I haven't tried to save all photos sent from every sent message in my account's Sent mailbox in bulk, but the photos are sent as true attachments to the message.

Why can't I delete an Image in lightroom 5, but can remove it from a collection?

Just recently I have been experiencing difficulties in deleting images in Lightroom 5.

I try flagging it with an X, and under photo menu delete all rejected photos, but that does not work either. What may I be doing wrong? Thanks for all your help.

I came on here wondering the same thing after trying all the things you just mentioned! Can anyone tell us how to delete photos? Thanks
