USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 2 84 Organizing photos in the catalog Copy and paste metadata between photos Copying and pasting metadata from one photo to selected photos provides a fast way to add information and IPTC metadata to photos. Using the Copy Metadata and Paste Metadata commands saves you the effort of repeatedly typing the same metadata into photos. 1 In the Grid view, select a photo that you want to copy metadata from and choose Metadata > Copy Metadata. 2 In the Copy Metadata dialog box, select the information and IPTC metadata that you want to copy, and then click Copy. 3 Select photos in the Grid view, and choose Metadata > Paste Metadata. Synchronize metadata between photos in the catalog Specific metadata in selected photos can be synchronized with metadata in another photo. This provides a fast way to add information and IPTC metadata to photos. Synchronizing metadata saves you the effort of repeatedly typing the same metadata into photos. 1 Select a photo in the Grid view that has metadata that other photos will synchronize to. This becomes the active photo. 2 Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select photos that will synchronize with the active photo. Shift-click to select contiguous photos. 3 Do one of the following: • Click the Sync Metadata button below the panels on the right. • Choose Metadata > Sync Metadata. 4 In the Synchronize Metadata dialog box, select the metadata that you want and then click Synchronize. Note: The metadata you select to synchronize overwrites existing metadata in the selected photos. Synchronize Lightroom metadata with Camera Raw and Adobe Bridge By default, Lightroom metadata is saved to the catalog file. For Camera Raw, Photoshop, and Adobe Bridge to view changes to Lightroom metadata, including Develop module adjustment settings, metadata changes must be saved to XMP in Lightroom. When you save metadata to a raw file, the changes are saved in an XMP sidecar file. With other file types, the metadata is saved in the file itself. Note: Keyword hierarchies created in any of these applications are preserved, and no data is lost, even though they might not appear in one or more of the applications. Versions earlier than Camera Raw 4.1 may not recognize some of the Develop module adjustments made in Lightroom.
