USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 2 85 Organizing photos in the catalog Automatically save metadata changes to photos in Lightroom The easiest way to make sure that Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw see metadata changes made in Lightroom is to automatically save those changes as you work. 1 Choose Edit > Catalog Settings (Windows) or Lightroom > Catalog Settings (Mac OS). 2 In the Metadata tab, select Automatically Write Changes Into XMP. View unsaved metadata Lightroom displays three types of icons in the Grid view of the Library module to identify unsaved metadata: Metadata File Needs To Be Updated Indicates unsaved metadata changes made to the photo in Lightroom. Metadata Was Changed Externally not applied in Lightroom. Indicates metadata changes made to the photo in an external application and Error Saving Metadata Indicates an error saving metadata in Lightroom. This icon appears when the same metadata for a photo has been changed both in Lightroom and externally. Display these icons using the Grid view options. 1 In the Library module, choose View > View Options. 2 Click the Grid View tab in the Library View Options dialog box. 3 Select the Unsaved Metadata option in the Cell Icons area. Note: You can also look in the Metadata Status field in the Metadata panel to see if metadata needs to be updated. Resolve metadata conflicts between Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, and Camera Raw ❖ To synchronize metadata in the Lightroom catalog, do one of the following in the Grid view of the Library module: • Click the Metadata Was Changed Externally icon or the Error Saving Metadata icon on a thumbnail. To apply the metadata from Camera Raw or Adobe Bridge, choose Import Settings From Disk. To disregard changes from Camera Raw or Adobe Bridge and apply catalog metadata to the photo, choose Overwrite Settings. • Select a thumbnail with a Metadata Was Changed Externally icon or an Error Saving Metadata icon and choose Metadata > Read Metadata From File. Click Read to overwrite catalog settings and apply the changes made in Bridge or Camera Raw. Metadata panel actions Clicking the buttons to the right of the metadata fields in the Metadata panel lets you perform a variety of actions, such as opening the folder in which an image appears, saving metadata to the file, resolving metadata conflicts, jumping to a virtual copy's master, and more. Hold the mouse pointer over each button to display a tooltip description. Updated 03 September 2009
