Will Export Keyword Tags

Hello,
I am using Lightroom 2.6 and have noticed what seems to be a new option in Keyword Tags, i.e. Will Export. I cannot find any reference to this through Lightroom help or  The Adobe Lightrooom 2 Book. Can anyone tell me what this tag does?
Thanks.

"When you select photos that contain keyword tags with synonyms, the synonyms appear in the Keywording panel when Keyword Tags > Will Export is selected."
Here is the reference: Lightroom Help
(3rd Paragraph)

  • To be able to Export Keyword Tags to Excel or as a CSF file

    I am using PSE 10 in Windows 7 environment. Have thousands of photos and hundreds of Keyword tags and many Categories and Sub-Categories.
    It would be nice to have these Tags & Categoris names in an Excel file (or, comma separated text file)  that I can use to easily see what Tags I have so that I don't create new tags with slightly different names. Such an easy-to-access and mange Excel file will be very helpful, I think, to the overall cration and management of Tags.
    I have done quite a bit of research on the web and also in PSE forum, but have not found any ways to do this.
    Is this possible? Sure would appreciate any help and ideas.
    Thank you so much.

    Thank you all for your help. I have solved my problem - with your help. Solution was simple:
    Save the Keyword Tags as the XML file from the drop down arrow options of the Keyword Tags. Saved it on desktop - but I guess you can save it anywhere you want. Opened MS Excel. Click File/ Open and Selected the XML file saved earlier. In the Dialogue Box that opens up, selected the "As an XML table" option. In the next dialogue box, showing "The specified XML source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create schema based on the XML source data.", clicked OK button.
    Excel now creates the table and it filles the schema as the Column names. I deleted the columns that I don't need - most of these are values expressed in hex or some other numbering system. I kept FIVE columns that have the Keyword Category and the Tags names -
    tagset-item-value-name
    tagset-item-value-name3
    tagset-item-value-note
    tagset-item-value-name6
    tagset-item-value-note8
    Now I can play with them as I need - sort, resquence, print, etc.
    Hope this helps others. And, again, thank you for your help.

  • Hierarchical keyword are flat in the keywording pane (will export mode)

    Hi,
    Let's say I have this hierarchical structure of keywords
    Birthday
         Bob
    Friend
         Alice
         Bob
    The "Friend" group is used to identify people present in photo.
    But when I shoot Alice at the Bob's Birthday, the exported keywords are : Alice, Birthday, Bob (Friend keyword is not check for export)
    I understand it's mainly because hierarchy is not handle by jpg format but I'm looking for a workaround.
    Something like automatically convert hierarchical link into the sign '>' to produce a result like : Alice, Birthday>Bob
    But I don't know if this is a good idea to proceed like this.
    Don't pay too much attention to the example which is very basic. For this kind of structure, I think the best way is to replace "Bob" by "Bob's birthday" to remove the duplicate keyword. But I have more complicated use cases and removing duplicate keyword is not always so easy.
    So, did you have some "export tips" ?
    May be the problem come from my keyword structure ? Is it evil to have duplicate keyword in different "folder" ?
    Thanks

    I have give it a try but I have the same problem as decribe here.
    Plus, when I check "Write keywords as Lightroom hierarchy" all keyword are exported.
    This is fine when you import the file elsewere because you get all the tag hierarchy but this is not what I need :-(
    Thanks for the reply

  • Will LR3 automatically transfer keyword tags of photos created in PSE when importing the photos

    Hi eveeryone,
    I am new to LR3. I would like to import all my photos into LR3 and all these photos have keyword tags that were done in PSE. Will LR3 automatically import the keyword tags too? If not, how would I do it?
    Much appreciate your feedback.

    The answer is "NO", because importing is the WRONG thing to do here.
    The proper procedure is to have LR3 upgrade your PSE catalog. In Lightroom, File->Upgrade PSE Catalog. All your tags will show up in Lightroom as keywords. Couldn't be simpler!

  • Keyword tag file for export

    Is there a keyword tag file I can export to use in Lightroom?
    Thanks, Doug Smith

    I tried that
    What did you try?
    PE only gives me the option of writing an .xml file
    I already explained there are several ways to go here, and so I can't understand why you feel the only option is writing an .xml file (which, by the way, is not one I am familiar with)
    It's like the fact that LR won't recognize my 6,000+ .png files,
    It's like the fact? Oh.
    Lightroom does not recognize .png files. They cannot be imported into Lightroom. You need to convert them to .jpg or .tif or .psd if you want them to be indexed in Lightroom. Which of course is a different issue than the one I thought we were addressing.

  • Private keyword tags with synonyms exported?

    With Lightroom 3.4.1, is there a known issue with private keyword tags being exported? I have some tags that have "Include on Export" unchecked, and I never check "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy." Even so, I've seen them in the exported files. It seems to be ones that have Synonyms.

    An asterisk in that view means that you have multiple images selected, and that keyword (or synonym) is defined only for some of them.
    If it is synonyms that are being exported, it is because the keyword settings say to suppress exported the keyword, but to export the synonym. There are checkboxes that control this, though two of them are sub checkboxes only available when the first is enabled.
    Note that first-class non-synonym keywords that happen to match a synonym defined in another keyword are unrelated.

  • Possible to export keywords for images in a catalog?

    I have a fairly large catalog with scanned images (several thousands of images). The images have a number of keywords each and many have descriptions and titles. From this, I would like to create some sort of web site where this information is preserved. The web that I'm envisioning should list all the keywords that occurs in the catalog, and if you click on a keyword it should show all images tagged with the keyword.
    However, with Lightroom 1.2 it doesn't seem to be possible to have the keywords included in the web gallery. Or am I wrong? Is it possible somehow?
    My next way of attacking this problem was to use the xmp sidecar files. Since the keywords are stored in the sidecar xmp file, I thought that I would be able to retrieve the keywords from the xmp-file with the help of some scripts and XSLT. Yes, a little extra work involved of course, but still doable. Unfortunately, since I've got TIFF files and not RAW files, the xmp data is embedded in the TIFF file and not written in the sidecar xmp file. Is it possible to have the xmp data written to the sidecar file also for TIFF images?
    Yes, it should be possible to extract the xmp data from the TIFF files, merge all this data into a big xml file and then process that with an XSLT script, but I would rather avoid poking inside the TIFF file, if at all possible.
    If I can just get some sort of mapping between all images and the keywords, preferably in an xml format (html or plain text would also do) I should be able to build the web myself.
    Any advice on how I can achieve this?

    yes it is possible to do this, but it is a bit complicated. Under the share menu choose export media. In the dialog that appears you can choose audio only. There are options for AAC, AIFF etc. The problem is that it will export all of the audio from your project so if you want only audio from a particular clip to be exported you need to create a new project and then copy/paste the clip into the new project. You can then export that audio as described above. An alternative is to create a new empty compound clip in the browser and open it in a timeline and copy/paste your clip into it. You can then export audio only as above. Once you have edited the audio, import it into FCPX and add as attached clip to the original clip. You can either drag the volume of the original audio down so it is not audible or detach the original audio and delete it. Not as simple as in previous versions of FCP but do-able.

  • PSE 13 "Import Keyword Tags From File" Fails

    Whenever I try to do the above command, it fails. As shown in the attached figure it gets to 9%. Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this error?
    Thanks in advance.

    is there a way to import tags from PSE 12
    The PSE 12 Organizer and LR 5 use different file formats for exporting and importing keyword hierarchies. PSE uses XML format, while LR 5 uses a tab-separated format.  If you're a programmer or technically minded, you could convert from one to the other using your favorite scripting language.
    But the approach suggested by dj_paige can be modified to accomplish what you want without scripting, by copying the keyword hierarchy from the "upgraded" LR catalog that was created from your PSE catalog to your "good" LR catalog:
    1. Make a manual backup of your "good" LR catalog: Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog.
    2. In LR, open the catalog that you created previously by upgrading (converting) the PSE catalog -- you can usually get to that catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
    3. Go to grid view in the Library by doing Window > Library followed by View > Grid (usually you're already in Library grid view, but just in case...)
    4. Make sure the Keyword List panel is showing on the right by doing Window > Panels > Keyword List.
    5. You should see the keyword hierarchy from your PSE catalog.  If you don't, stop and post a screen shot of the entire LR screen.
    6. Do Metadata > Export Keywords to export those keywords as a LR-format text file.
    7. Open your "good" LR catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
    8. Do Metadata > Import Keywords and select the file you exported in step 6.
    9. All the keywords that were exported in step 6 will be added to the current catalog, and there will be duplicate keywords if there were already keywords of the same name in the catalog.  Those new keywords will not be attached to any existing photos in the current catalog.

  • Problem Exporting Keywords in Lightroom 5

    I recently converted from Lightroom 4 to 5.  I just noticed that not all my keywords are exported to my jpeg file.  For example I have the following keywords in Lightroom; Horizontal, Landscape, National Forest, Scenic.  My exported jpeg has only the keyword Landscape.
    In the Library Module, when I click on the dropdown Keyword Tags and select "Will Export", I only see the keyword Landscape.  I'm not sure what this "feature" is all about.  Can someone explain it to me.  I need to be able to export all keywords.
    This problem seems to be consistent and I have a test file set up so I can repeat the problem.  Only certain keywords are not exported.

    Thanks for your help.  I really appreciate it.  After checking some other keywords, I think this problem involves a minority of my keywords.  I tracked the problem down to October 12, 2013.  That was the day I installed Lightroom 5.  Something must have happened in the catalog conversion.
    I'll try exporting the keywords to see if I can identify the problem keywords.
    Thanks again!!!

  • Problems Exporting Keywords from LR5.3

    Hi,
    I do all my keywording in LR and have it set up in various hierachies or nests and have made these "organising" keywords non-exportable.  Prior to running an export, to convert to TIFFs  I have checked what words will export and I am having problems that not all the keywords will export, even though the tags are celalry marked for export and to include included keywords if it is "hidden from export" organising keywords.  For example in one image I have location nested as UK, England, Midlands, West Midlands, with all of them marked for export and "West Midlands does not export. 
    I have seen various posts about similar issues, but I have checked that all keyword tags are set to export ok which seemed to be the primary issue. 
    Any thoughts or input gratefull received. 
    Thanks

    Have you taken a look at the logs for workspace/biplus? If so, anything relevant?

  • How to transfer keyword tags

    I have a seperate PC PSE8 organizer that I would like export just the keyword tags file to my new Mac PSE10 to use with a seperate new database.  Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    A better way to do this would be to install PSE 10 on your windows computer (if you have the boxed version you have both platforms) and update your catalog to PSE 10, then do a full backup using the organizer's backup command to a removable drive, then restore the catalog to the mac.
    EDIT That's unless you just want a list of keyword tags to save time when working with a whole different set of images. But transferring a catalog will also preserve albums, version sets, etc.

  • Exporting keywords with file

    somewhere, much earlier, in this forum i asked how i could export my files with only assigned keywords. I DO NOT want the "parent" keyword. For example if GRANDMOTHER (parent) contains mary (child) I want only the mary exported.
    I read that the answer is in the "edit keyword tags" dialog box but I cannot make it work for me.
    Lightroom 2.6, imac i7,8gb,system 10.6.2

    That's how Aperture works anyway - only the keywords that you have actually added will be included in the IPTC data of exported files, parent keywords aren't included.
