    Importing from Android

    The problem is that on mobile devices using MTP you can't browse into folders on the device. The pictures are actually all seperated on the file system in a DCIM folder but the album art is somewhere else but it mixes together in LIghtroom. What I have been doing is just moving the pictures...

    using Picasa face recognition to add keywords that show up in Lightroom

    Here, for anyone finding this thread in the future, I found this very useful in comnparing all the different options we have. I'd like to get away from Picasa entirely but don't want to lose the days I spent tagging faces. http://davoweb.net/2014/01/face-tagging-and-lightroom/

    using Picasa face recognition to add keywords that show up in Lightroom

    For some reason this doesn't seem to work for me. Where should they show up? I'm still struggling with this and a s a result I haven't name-tagged naything in 2 years. All my solutions have failed and I'm getting frustrated by my lack of a properly name catalogued LR file.

    Importing from Android

    Hey all, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. My photos come from a few different places but primarily they are from my Galaxy S4 smartphone, my DSLR, and my GoPro camera. When I try to import from my Galaxy S4 however, Lightroom pulls in all this cover art as well from Google Play Music. As an...

    Issue with seletions

    Well rebooting my computer seemed to fix it. Bizarre.

    Issue with seletions

    Hey guys, just recently upgraded to LR 5.3. Anyway, I have a bizarre issue. I just did an import of (9) images that I scanned in (ultrasounds from upcoming baby #2). Anyway, whenever I try to adjust the timestamp on the images to the actual day they were captured, it adjusts all 9 images, even...

    Is there a way to search images by history?

    For example, I am trying to find all images that had a certain preset applied to them.

    Adjusting date / time on import

    OK thanks. Too bad there isn't a way to identify all these that are out of order. I'll just have to make sure I keep them in the Last Import folder and move them appropriiately. Would be cool if LR had a tool to identify images where EXIF doesn't match the folder it resides in.

    Adjusting date / time on import

    Hey all, I have a gopro that I used to take videos with, however the date was incorrect. I wanted to "shift" all these dates. I have NOT yet imported them into Lightroom, because I don't want them to go to the wrong folders. If I import htem, then adjust the date / time, will the files move to a...

    Using mouse scroll wheel to zoom in / out in library mode

    So there is no selective zoom, you can only go between the predefined levels?

    Using mouse scroll wheel to zoom in / out in library mode

    Is there any way to use the scroll wheel to zoom in library mode? I hate the fit / fill / 1:1 / 3:1 / dropdown system. Scroling the wheel moves a zoomed image up / down and shift-scroll moves it left right, but it would be way easier to have scroll zoom in and out and just use the hand to grab...

    Creative Cloud only?

    Overall I don't like this move. I only upgrade my CS suite every 4 to 5 years to make it more economical. This is so expensive now :(

    Picasa Update - Experimental Feature allows "Write Faces to XMP"

    Going to try this soon, but I'm very excited about this. It's been the one thing missing for me in Lightroom. If this actually writes to the XMP and is visible in LR I will be one happy camper.

    Adding notes to photos

    Does capture time to exit adjust all at the same time ? That won't work as the pics are mixed in ... just looking for a quick way cycle through and adjust dates. Is the capture time what I want to adjust PR is there a different field I should be updating

    Adding notes to photos

    On a side but related note... since these were all scanned in they have dates of 2012 on them. I want to change the dates to reflect when they were taken. They are all over the place, so I think i have to do this on a photo by photo basis. Is there a quicker way to do this than entering the menu...

    Adding notes to photos

    Is there a way to add notes to photos? Is this the same as a caption? I am working through several thousand pics of my father's that I had scanned in. A lot of them have hand written notes on the back I want to transpose as best as I can. I don't think keywords are the appropriate place for this.

    Your Keywording Best Practices

    Thanks again all ... as I said I just have to get over the perfectionist hurdle that I have. I get overwhelmed thinking about the infinite # of keywords that could be there and then getting stuck with using a keyword in one set of circumstances but not using it later and as a result losing a...

    Your Keywording Best Practices

    When I did try doing this before I also ended up with issues with consistency. Basically if I searched for "dog" I would get some photos of dogs, but not all of them, as some of them I just labeled with my dog's name (maui, kona) so it wasn't that great. I think I need to really think about it...

    Your Keywording Best Practices

    Thanks guys, this is really helpful, and the research you mention Tony Jay is exactly the reason why I was (am!) overwhelmed by all this, the worst scenario I can think of is spending days tagging and keywording images only to find at the end that I have some fundamental flaw in my structure...

    Your Keywording Best Practices

    Hey guys, I have currently over 31,000 photos in my library. There was a point in time when I was keywording some pics in Picasa but I became overwhelmed because of inconsistency and so forth. What are you best practices for effective keywording? I came from Picasa and I had location and...

    Hyphens to underscores in folders structure or vice versa

    Is there any way other than doing each one individually to batch rename folders? I like using the folder structure I have in LR which is simply Pictures/YYYY/YYYY_MM_DD/img1.dng, etc. Lightroom imports everything as YYYY-MM-DD instead of YYYY_MM_DD I don't really care which way I use it but...
