Why is metadata so different in Prelude as compared to Lightroom and Bridge?

As a still photographer now shooting video, I'd like to have a similar workflow for video clips that I have for my still images for metdata entry. However, metadata seems to be completely different for video. I'd like to be able to enter common metadata entries for my still and video images at the same time. Both Lightroom 4.2 and Bridge CS6 make it look like this is possible, but the metadata only seems to be available from within those programs and doesn't transfer outside the program either in the file itself or in xmp sidecar files. I looked at Prelude and the metadata categories are completely different. I'm mostly concerned with the IPTC fields and the GPS fields that Lightroom applies using the Maps function. I understand that video has additional fields unique to video, but IPTC and GPS seem like they could be shared. My ultimate goal is to catalog the video files in our DAM, Canto Cumulus, which is accessible by hundreds of users. Photo Mechanic seems to write IPTC to an XMP file for video files, which can be read by Cumulus. It seems like Adobe should have similar functionality. Am I missing something?

  • Why Does the Photograph's Preview Change in Lightroom and Bridge? | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this video tutorial Julieanne explains one of the great mysteries of Lightroom and Bridge – why Lightroom (or Bridge) displays a photograph one way and then changes the way it looks a moment later. It will all become clear with just a little information about how digital camera files are captured and displayed by different applications.
    http://adobe.ly/LiGnOc

    This tutorial was outstanding in explaining why Bridge and LR may have different renditions of the same photograph as well as why it changes after a few seconds.  This camera calibration video is one of the best that I have seen.

  • Date Time Original different in Lightroom and Bridge

    Why is it that the Date Time Original in Lightroom is affected by whatever time zone the PC is set to? This is not the case in Bridge.
    Example:
    I fly from San Francisco to Washington DC and set my notebook's time zone from Pacific Time to Eastern Time upon arrival. I also make the necessary adjustment to the Time on my camera. I shoot a photo at 6pm in Washington DC, upload it to my notebook and import it into Lightroom. Lightroom shows a Date Time Original of 6pm. So does Bridge. So far so good.
    I return back to San Francisco and set my notebook's time zone back to Pacific Time. In Lightroom, the Date Time Original of that photo is now 3pm. In Bridge, it still gives a Date Time Original of 6pm.
    Confusing? Yes, especially when traveling across lots of different time zones. In some cases, the Date Time Original will change not only the time, but the Date as well (if the change crosses midnight).
    Try it for yourself. Take a look at the Date Time Original of any given photo in Lightroom, change the Time Zone on your PC, and see the Time change for yourself.
    Since Bridge and Lightroom are both Adobe products, I have to wonder why they display EXIF times differently. Is this a bug? Or intentional?

    I have been als been plagued by LR displaying the capture time to be, say 3 AM (03:00), when I know I took the picture at 1 PM (13:00). I decided to try and see why this happens. With the help of Phil Harvey's exiftool, I can see that my Canon cameras embed the time into the EXIF data without any time zone information i.e.: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23.
    Here is what I found:
    If the image is now edited with Bridge, the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23-08:00 (time zone of the editing computer for the date the image was made. In this case the date was before daylight savings time started.)
    When edited with GeoSetter (good for adding GPS information) the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23+02:00 (time zone for Cairo where the picture was taken.)
    Lastly edited with LR, the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23-08:00
    When the above images are viewed in LR, using PDT, they display the time as 17:09:23 except for the image tagged with the Cairo time, which displays 07:09:23. If the computer's time zone is changed the displayed time changes accordingly.
    If the images are displayed with Photoshop CS3 all the times are correctly displayed as 16:09:23 as one would expect.
    It appears that the factoring in of the time zone into the displayed time was a conscious decision by the Adobe designers. A decision that several of us are not happy with.

  • Lightroom and photoshop display colours differently??

    I have just done a colour critical shoot of fashion garments. There is a dramatic difference particularly noticeable in Purple colours between Lightroom and Bridge. Lightroom displays it as blue and Bridge displays it correctly. I cannot figure out why this is - it means that I cannot work in Lightroom as I am not sure if the colour is correct or not.
    Please - if anyone can shed some light on this I will be eternally grateful.
    By the way I work on a mac with CS3 and the latest lightroom - on a calibrated system so it is not a calibration issue.
    Marc

    Are you sure that bridge is actually generating previews from the RAW and that you are not just looking at the camera-generated jpeg preview embedded in the RAW? This is pretty typical for bridge to do. The camera-generated preview generally looks very different color-wise from Lightroom and ACR because the camera manufacturer. Test this by double-clicking the RAW in bridge. Usually the color will be quite different from the preview you see in Bridge. After you close ACR, the preview will get updated in Bridge too. The reason behind this color difference is that camera manufacturers use secret, proprietary algorithms to determine the color from the camera's raw sensor data. This color is not necessarily correct, but what they consider "pleasing." If you shoot RAW, your RAW converter supplies its own interpretation of the data. Usually based on shooting color patches with the same camera.

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

  • Why are there 2 different customization directories seen in MDS repository

    We are upgrading from 11.5.9 of the applications to 11.5.10. We have noticed that before we apply any personalizations to 11.5.10, there are personalizations already out in the MDS repository in a customizations directory. The customizations directory is in a different location, however, than the customizations directory that is created when we create 11.5.10 personalizations. The already existing personalizations in the MDS repository have a 'customizations' directory that is immediately after the <application name> directory (ie: /oracle/apps/icx/customizations/site/0/por/rcv/webui/IcxPorRcvHomePG). The new personalizations applied to 11.5.10 have a 'customizations' directory that is right after the whole document path (ie: right after webui directory), but before the document name (ie: /oracle/apps/icx/por/rcv/webui/customizations/site/0/IcxPorRcvHomePG).
    My 2 guesses as to why these 2 differnt customization directories could exist are:
    1) the path to the customizations directory changed from 11.5.9 to 11.5.10 and the one with the customizations directory immediately after the <application name> directory is the path to old personalizations from 11.5.9
    OR
    2) Oracle puts their own customizations in and the Oracle customizations are found in the path where the customizations directory is immediately after the <application name> directory.
    Can someone please enlighten me as to why there are 2 different paths to customization documents?
    Thank you,
    Paula Jernigan

    Paula,
    I am assuming by directory you are talking about the path in MDS.
    I am pretty sure I have read that the path for customizations did change. We are using 11.5.10 so I cant be sure.

    What do you mean by "different"? (In our
    experience, Oracle html output has too many
    columns, which are not visible in the
    browser but are obvious in Excel.)
    We build our own html programmatically, so
    that Excel matches the browser more closely.

  • Why do I get different tag icon combinations?

    This is really bugging me and I can't fing an answer anwhere.  I've just started organizing my photos by adding albums and keyword tags. I add the album to all the pictures and get a green album icon on the thumnail.  Then for most of the images when I add a tag the album icon is gone and is replaced by a beige tag icon.  But for some of the images, when I add the tag I get separate green album and blue tag icons. Why do i get different icon combinations depending on the image?   Please help!!.

      Yeah I’m sorry it’s not been fixed. I did complain to Adobe shortly after PSE9 was issued, when everything got given an orange tag. It seems to make no difference what icon you choose from the list, it ends up with something that looks like a luggage label colored beige. Of course the keywords will work but it’s all a bit frustrating.
     

  • Why do we have different partners KU?

    HI Guys
    It might sound like a dumb question but I am trying to understand why do we have different partner profiles for KU type.
    I understand they are different customers and hence different but...
    My scenario is we are posting ORDERS (IDOCS) for 6 different customers. Currently we have 6 KU profiles. However suggested approach is since all of them are only doing ORDERS and same IDOC (version etc) to make them all as only 1 KU.
    I hope that clarifies why I am asking the above question. I am trying to establish the pro's and con's of each approach.
    regards

    Dear Mimranacc,
    You maintain partner profile for each partner and maintain inbound and outbound parameters. Receiver partner number will be different for each partner in the IDoc data. Also, you would maintain outbound parameters. Here you will specify where to send data.
    Regards,
    Naveen

  • Why my raw looks different in lightroom and camera's raw processing software

    Hi, I am using a Sony A-100 and just start using Lightroom to process my raw file. I quite like lightroom's interface and its workflow, however, a a problem disturbing me is the image look quite different in sony's raw processing software and in lightroom (just import without any editing). In sony's software, the WB and exposure is correct and I don't need to adjust so much. But in lightroom, the color always looks warm and image is underexposure.
    Is it a common problem or it is just a special case as to sony's dslr camera.

    The main reason is that each different software is interpreting image and color data in its own way due, I guess, to different processing methods.
    In that way, digital is not different than film : no film render colors and contrast the same way.
    You have to choose what fits the best for you.
    As an example, I think ACR / LR handle Canon files pretty well ( quite close to Canon's propietary raw converter - neutral settings - ). On the other hand, Nikon owners have more troubles and seem to prefer Capture 4 or NX renderings.

  • Why is the connectionUri different in WSManConnectionInfo object for exchange and windows?

    For exchange the connection uri used is :

     WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://machineName/powershell"), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange", ExchangeCredential)
    To connect to windows, the uri used is

     WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://machineName:5985/wsman"), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell", credential);
    Why is there a difference in the connection uri for exchange and windows?

    Hi Cmm user,
    You can refer to WSManConnectionInfo Constructor (Uri, String, PSCredential) to understand.
    uri: The URI that defines the connection endpoint where the remote runspace is opened.
    shellUri: The URI of the shell that is launched when the connection is made.
    credential: A
    PSCredential object that contains the user account that has permission to make the connection.

  • Why the colors look so different betweet my Camera Raw and Bridge?

    We know that after editing images in Camera Raw, thumbnails in Bridge will updated according to the new xmp files.
    However, for some of my Raw files, the colors look very different in Bridge after makeing adjustments in Camera Raw, I can see more red in those phoots. But when I reopen the file in Camera Raw, all the colors are just correct.
    For those photos without applying xmp files the colors looks exactly the same in Camera Raw and Bridge.
    Does this means that my Camera Raw and Bridge use different color space? How can I fix this problem? Thank you

    If you want help, you need to specify your platform (Mac or Windows), the exact versions of your Operating System, Photoshop, ACR plug-in and Bridge.
    Also look at your Bridge preferences and tell us what you have your Thumbnail preferences set to.
    Re-setting your preferences and purging the cache would also help.  It could be something as simple as a corrupt cache.
    Bridge is Color Managed, but it does not use a color space of its own.  It applies the color space with which each image is tagged, it assigns sRGB to untagged files.
    When was the last time you calibrated and profiled your monitor?
    Details would help.
