    Missing Folders

    When I try to move a folder from one location to another I get a message the the folder already exists there. However the folder name is not visible at that location. I am guessing that it exists in the catalog but why does it not display? This just happens in one master folder. I can move...

    Save Metadata to files

    I just received the following message after importing a file I edited in Elements. "One or more of these photos has been changed in an external application. Should Lightroom overwrite the settings on disk?" I have no clue what this means. Does anyone know what settings are they referring to.

    Save Metadata to files

    Since I discovered my tags and captions missing one time I assume that means they were not in the catalog. Wouldn't I be better off if I "saved to file" so I could restore from file. Is there any downside to saving to file? What do you mean by metadata in the original, is that the data stored...

    Save Metadata to files

    On a few occasions I have found that Keyword tags I have added to pictures have disappeared. I was told I needed to execute the command "Save Metadata to files". Question 1: Is there a way to select all files in catalog and then execute that command? Question 2: If I do not save it to files...

    dating an image

    I just imported a file to PSE with date 9/1/1978 12:0:0 AM in lightroom. I changed the date in PSE to 9/1978. Lightroom has an option of ? for the day of month. I removed file from lightroom catalog and imported it again. The date displayed in Lightroom is 3/27/10. I tried to attach it to...

    dating an image

    I am using Lightroom version 3.6. Lightroom can store date/time original and date/time digitized, also the metadata includes something called just date/time and another Date Created. Many of my photos are scanned from old pictures and slides. Lightroom does not allow you to change the...

    Can you select all images in catalog

    Selecting all images in a folder is easy, but I have many folders and I want to save all metadata to files. Doing this one folder at a time is taking forever.

    Inserting labels into multiple images

    Is there a way to insert the same label into several images at once. When I select multiple images and enter a label, the label only goes into the first image.

    Where are titles and captions stored

    Titles and captions I see the command "Save Metadata to File" under the Metadata Tab, but this just applies to the one image selected. Is there anyway to have Metadata saved to file for all images in the catalog. I have several thousand images and it would take a long tome to save all...

    Where are titles and captions stored

    I just had to restre some images from Mozy backup and the titles and captions are gone. Are these stored in the catalog? Is there anyway to get that info back without going back to an old catalog?

    Editing Capture Date and Time

    I made the suggestion to LR to change this more than a year ago. They apparently don't think those of us scanning images are worth much effort.

    Editing Capture Date and Time

    The funny thing is that the change happened while I was working in LR and elements. One group of pictures worked (dates in both aps the same) and then the next group did not (different dates between aps..

    Editing Capture Date and Time

    Still no one has responded to the main problem as to why the date/ time in LR is not the one displayed in Elements. Before last week they were the same. Something got changed in one of these programs and I'd like to know what.

    Editing Capture Date and Time

    They all get changed, but not to the same time. The time is set relative to the time of the first image. This is similar to the time zone adjustment.

    Editing Capture Date and Time

    This is what I do, but while Elements lets you do this to a batch of images, LR requires you to do it one image at a time. Very time consuming.

    Editing Capture Date and Time

    LR apparently is structured to meet the needs of professional photographers and unfortunately ignores the needs of amateurs who are scanning in old family photos. When scanning photos sometimes you only know the year, sometimes the month and year, sometimes the day but rarely the time. In LR...

    Import Destination

    Can someone tell me how to reset or change the destination of images input from disk? I want to keep the original folder and not create a new folder by date.
