Why can't I add keywords in Lightroom 5.7 at Photo/Add Keywords?

Why can't I add keywords in Lightroom 5.7 at Photo/Add Keywords?

You need to be much more verbose about "can't".
Any error messages?
Make sure the right pane of tabs is visible. The menu command is just a jumper into the "keywording" tab.

  • RENAME:  When I rename a photo why can I not find it doing a search?  The photo obviously keeps its old name even though it has a new one   IPhoto 09

    When I rename a photo why can I not find it doing a search?  The photo obviously keeps its old name even though it has a new one>  IPhoto 09

    Thanks, that makes sense.  If I do a search in IPhoto I find it.  I have 6 grand children and also have had my camera for quite awhile and it starts file names over again after 10,000 pictures. (I don't have all these on the computer) but now I have some files with the same name  ie  img_4   and img_4
    Thanks again for your help!!

  • 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.

  • Why can I not upload slideshow in lightroom to business catalyst

    Lightroom upload to business catalyst will not work... sends back unknown error

    Ok, now there is some clarity... thank you.
    However you are trying to load a slide show exported in what format from which version of Lightroom to which version of Muse??
    However I would suggest you also post in the Muse forum as it is likely the answer is there...

  • Why can't I change an iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) photo book layout without the page going blank?

    When working on a photo book, I can initially drag and drop photos into the predetermined photobook layout designs without any problems.  But when I want to change one of the pages from the iPhoto predetermined layout (e.g. from a 2 photo layout to a 4 photo layout) the page will go blank (by that I mean it will only have the background design) and will no longer allow me to add photos to the page, or choose a text only layout, or any layout other than a blank background design.  I can delete the page which won't let me add photos anymore, and then add a new page which will, but the page layout is again a predetermined layout, which I want to change (e.g. a 2 photo layout, when I want a 4 photo layout).
    As stated in the question, I'm running iPhoto '11 version 9.4.2, updated via the App Store in November 2012.  I'm running the program on a 2011 iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with OSX (10.8.2).
    Please help.

    Sound like you're trying to drag a photo to a folder which will automatically create a new album in that folder titled "Untitled".  Make sure it's an album and not a folder you're trying to drag to.

  • Why can't I type in the To field to email photos from within iPhoto?

    I selected some photos then Share > Email. I can type in the Subject and in the body of the email. I can select the To field but when I type nothing shows up in it. Stumped. I'll email by dragging into Mail, but I'd like to know what's up.

    Set up iPhoto to use Mail instead of iPhoto for the mail client in the General preference pane:
    If you want a template use one of Mail's many stationary templates:
    Try the following to get iPhoto to accept text in the To field of iPhoto's mail window:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Why can't I find and open a text layer on photo (psd file) for editing using an iMac?

    When I open Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit a text layer on a 511KB 412x292 psd photo the text layer is not shown.  How do I open the text layer?  How do I edit the text layer?  How do I save the finished work product?  The background layer is locked.  I can't unlock it.  Do I have to unlock first or do what?  I have tried any number of approaches none of which open the text layer for editing.  I would greatly appreciate help in resolving this issue. 

    How do you know there is a text layer? All the layers should be shown in the layers panel.
    The background layer is always partially locked and that has no effect on editing. You can ignore that.
    Would this be a comp layer or part of a layer group created in full Photoshop, by any chance?

  • Why can I no longer select albums. folders etc when syncing photos from iphoto

    When I go to sync my iphone 4s with IOS6 I am no longer to use the option on photos to sync selected albums etc.  I only get the option to sync ALL photos. Am I doing something wrong here?

    Are you still at iPhoto 9.4? If so, try updating to 9.4.1:
    iPhoto 9.4.1
    If still no joy after the iPhoto update, delete your existing iPod Photo cache. For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

  • How to view/browse photos by keyword?

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum and Lightroom. I am testing Lightroom 4 to see if it fits my needs.
    What I can't seem to figure out is how to browse photos by keyword without creating a smart collection for every keyword. Can anyone enlighten me if this is possible?
    I have used Bibble for a few years now and this is something I used alot.
    Regards
    Stian

    Over on the right, in the Keyword List panel, point at a keyword and you will see an arrow on the right edge of the panel, to the right of the number of photos. Click on that arrow.
    Alternatively, in the Filter Bar, select keyword as a search criterion, then click on the desired keyword (optionally ctrl-click on multiple keywords)

  • Why can't lightroom across different folders like Photoshop Elements can?

    I have access to Lightroom through CC and I'd like to use it more, but it cannot do a very basic thing that Photoshop Elements, a consumer-oriented product, has been doing for years. That is, stack across different folders. I keep my large RAW files on an external hard drive but keep the edited .jpg files on my computer's main drive. In the Elements library I stack those photos and any other versions such as .psd files. Very useful and I don't understand why this has never been possible in Lightroom.
    An additional wish is that I could import my Elements library into Lightroom, complete with stacking, keywords, etc. That would be fantastic.

    This blog will explain how to install Elements as an external editor in lightroom.  The main thing to remember it to point Lightroom to the EDITOR and not the Elements Startup screen where you can choose Organizer or Editor.  If you don't point to the EDITOR the photo will not show up in Elements

  • When loading Elements 10 why did it remove my Nic Software add-ons in Lightroom 3?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nic programmes but no success. And it is all now so slow that i am thinking of reinstalling everything. With Windows 7, 8 gb of memory and and i5 Intel processor, my computer should be able to handle this. Elements 7 was already there and working well, so I must have done something wrong. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    thanks for the advice. I will try it outDT

    Hi, After installing NIK plug-ins, Please check on C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\External Editor Presets folder.Here you can see some Nik- plugins templates , open any template in Notepad and see "ExternalEditorFullPath" verify this path is right and whether .exe file is present at this location or not.Also verify the status of this path and .exe location after using the PSE.I am confident, this is the issue of file path mismatch. Thanks,earth-star.

  • Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious,  common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?

    Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious,  common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?
    I've seen this requested in several past Lightroom versions.
    Is Adobe not addressing this basic feature for a reason?, I mean, even Aperture has this feature, it can't be that hard to add? Can it?
    Maybe Adobe isn't reading the feature request?

    Honestly, I am hardly qualified to even guess - there are tons of bugs reported that would be easy to fix, but aren't, features that would be useful and easy enough to implement, but aren't. Things like focus points which seem like a no brainer but are never implemented - your guess is as good as mine..
    But to be clear: focus points are different for different cameras, and are stored in proprietary metadata. - not impossible to get at, obviously, but requires some programming/maintenance..
    Worth noting: Apple is shutting down their Aperture business. Yeah, they support focus points and all kinds of good stuff, but I guess Aperture isn't a real money-maker for them (lotsa maintenance work, but not a lot of revenue) - relatively small market.
    Adobe has been working on Revel, and Lightroom Mobile.., instead of focus points (and bug fixes, and...) - my guess: that's where the money is, or where they think it is.
    Cheers,

  • Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

    I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.
