Where to find PSE Notes in Lightroom?

Until recently, I used Photoshop Elements (PSE) to scan family pictures and save them as TIFFS. All the information I found handwritten on the back of the photos, I copied onto the "Notes" field in PSE's "Properties - General". I have done some tests and confirmed that this information is actually written in the file.
Now, I'm using Lightroom - and very happy with it - but I can't find these Notes in the same files. I've looked everywhere in Metadata, but just can't find them.
I'm assuming that information added in PSE should be visible in Lightroom, so any idea on where they could be?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I've had a look at your sample file and the easiest way to do this will be with Exiftool . Download a copy of EXIF tool - for simplicity I suggest the OS specific package rather than the native perl version - and you will be able to use one of the following commands to move the metadata from the PSE specific location to one Lightroom can access.
The following commands have some common elements:
-P to preserve the current dates/times on your image files
-r to process all matching files in the current directory and all of its sub-directories
-overwrite_original_in_place to modify the existing file without creating a backup
*.tif to process all tif files, and combined with the -r this will match tif files in the current and sub-directories
Feel free to remove any of those arguments or change the target (*.tif) file specifier to something that better reflects your environment.
You only need to run one of the following commands.  I've included these two options depending upon which destination field seems most appropriate for your catalog.  For these commands to work you will need to use the PSE browser to write all metadata to file first.  EXIF tool only works with the metadata in the file and can't access your PSE catalog directly.
exiftool -P -r -overwrite_original_in_place "-XMP-album:Notes>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.tif
The command above copies the Notes information into the Caption field visible in most of the Lightroom metadata tagsets.
exiftool -P -r -overwrite_original_in_place "-XMP-album:Notes>IPTC:SpecialInstructions" *.tif
The command above copies the Notes information into the Instructions field visible in the Lightroom IPTC and All metadata tagsets.
I had thought about adding this to the plugin but given it is a fairly uncommon requirement it will probably just confuse people.  So I've changed my mind on that front.
Let me know if you have any troubles with following the instructions above.

  • Where to find release notes for firmware v20 of 58...

    Anybody know where i could find the release notes for firmware v20? I wish to know what are fixed. Thanks!

    Changelogs are considered confidential information by Nokia. You'll not see an official document reporting the changes made. What you might see is leaked documents on some websites, and you have to take those with a pinch of salt.

  • Where to find release notes for CR XI R2 FP 6.4?

    The zip files for Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Fix Pack 6.4 don't include a readme.pdf with release notes.
    Nothing found on [http://help.sap.com/businessobjects/|http://help.sap.com/businessobjects/] either.
    Where can i find infos about what has been fixed?

    What I found somewhere:
    ADAPT01318486 FixPack6.4
    Description:
    Customers in a time zone with Daylight Savings Time could experience issues with recurrences running continuously during certain situations.
    New Behavior:
    This problem is resolved. When moving from Standard Time into Daylight Savings time, existing recurring schedules that run daily continue to run at the originally specified time of the job schedule.
    Fixpack 6.4 is and will be the latest build.
    Really strange that no one at SAP SDN (like Don or Ludek) has somewhere the complete PDF-File with the fixes for 6.3 and 6.4....? Maybe somewhere a leak where the file has fallen in...

    Where do I find my "Notes" on my MacBook Pro ?  I have them setup on iCloud, not on my Notes tab on Gmail.  I think they are in iTunes but, cannot remember where to  find my Notes. Thanks.

    Ok to clarify you don't NEED mountain lion.
    I will say its functionality with notes and other iOS functions is greatly improved in Mountain Lion (notification centre as another example).
    SO
    If you have Lion, your notes should appear in the Mail App. If my memory serves me correct they appear in your inbox like an email. Go to system preferences, then "mail, contacts & calenders", select your icloud account from the list and it should tell you which things you have switched on or off, ensure Notes is ticked to on
    Sorry i cant give more clarification because i've upgraded myself so cant go back in time and check, lol.

  • I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
    People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
    ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
    Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
    So IMO we can divide image processing into:
    operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
    operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
    When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
    Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
    ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

    where to find out with serial number to verify whether my dslr is genuine or not?

    Hey guys!
    The following information can be found at https://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/gray_market
    Information on Parallel or "Gray Market" Products
    Canon sells and supports Canon-brand consumer and professional products in the U.S. through Canon U.S.A., which distributes these products through its authorized dealers and distributors. Canon U.S.A. is the only authorized importer of these products in the U.S., and provides industry-leading customer service and support for them. Products distributed by Canon U.S.A. are "localized" to meet the needs of customers in the U.S. market and are engineered to comply with local safety regulations and governmental requirements. As such, these products come with different accessories, manuals, and warranties than the versions intended for sale in other global regions such as Asia. Any Canon-brand products which are imported and sold other than by this method are referred to as "parallel," or "Gray Market," products (collectively, "Gray Market Products").
    Hazards and Difficulties Associated with "Gray Market" Products
    Customers in the U.S. may find that Gray Market Products do not meet their expectations because they were not intended by Canon for sale in the U.S. In some cases, sellers of Gray Market Products may attempt to localize the products themselves by adding, changing or removing certain accessories from the products, which may result in the following:
    including in product packaging illegal or counterfeit accessories, such as batteries, chargers, and ink tanks, which can cause injury and seriously damage your Canon product;
    an incorrect power cord or adapter which was not provided, or quality checked, by Canon;
    incorrect software or illegal copies of software which may not function;
    poor photocopies of the original manual;
    a fake Canon U.S. warranty, a warranty provided by a third party, or no warranty at all; and
    a device with a serial number which cannot be registered with Canon in the U.S.
    Customers should also be aware that Gray Market Products may not be eligible for:
    coverage under a U.S. warranty;
    U.S. promotions, including mail-in and instant rebates; and
    technical support
    If you are in doubt about a seller, or whether the products it sells are intended for the U.S., please visit http://usa.canon.com/authorizeddealers for a list of Canon U.S.A.'s Authorized Dealers. New and genuine Canon products intended for sale in the U.S. can only be purchased from Canon Authorized Dealers in the U.S. or from Canon U.S.A. directly.

  • Hello, I have long been using Mozilla Firefoh, but I can't restore a theme (in the browser before I used the theme in anime), I do not remember how to install it and where to find, maybe it was not a topic, and skin. Please help me solve this problem.

    (in the browser before I used the theme in anime), I do not remember how to install it and where to find, maybe it was not a topic, and skin.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

    I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

    Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.  Please uninstall iTunes,  then install iTunes again.  Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    Many thanks. That issue will be causing the iTuneshelper error message too.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.
