  1. I made a post a couple months ago about why when I worked on an image in ACR, it wouldn’t open in PS. Suggestions were made about version, and recently I discovered I had the latest ACR but not the latest, 2023 Bridge. I actually had it on my computer, but it wasn’t in my Mac dock, the older version was. I fixed that. Yesterday, I went through LR & developed images, then opened & finished in PS. I worked on more later in the day, bypassing LR & developed in ACR/PS and it all worked as it should. Today I opened Bridge to do the keywording. I have always done my keywording in Bridge, always will. What I found, though, was where the old keyword box was, also with a caption box, had been changed to something I imagine is what keywording in LR is like. I hate it. It has hierarchies (I guess, who the heck knows, I sure don’t). There is no caption box. This whole thing is absolutely foreign to me & I hate it. I had a perfectly smooth way of doing captions & tags all of these years from day one. If it ain’t broke, why fix it? People who don’t want to tag in LR shouldn’t have the same thing forced upon them in Bridge. Is there something I’m missing, a way to get “the old” boxes back in Bridge 2023? I poked around for a long time in it & got myself in trouble, almost didn’t get my thumbnails back the way I like. If I hadn’t saved my workplace, I wouldn’t have. Will I have to bring up the older version of Bridge just for captions & tags? To say I’m chewing nails is an understatement.
  2. For those of us who don't submit via FTP with keywords already in place, wouldn't it be useful if there was a facility to keyword images whilst they are waiting in QC? I understand that there is a risk that they might fail QC and then all that effort would be wasted but at the same time it would speed-up the clearance process and you wouldn't have to wait for QC to complete to then keyword your images. You may ask why I don't submit via FTP with keywords already in place and that would be a very good question (old habits die hard, I guess).
  3. As I've mentioned in another thread, I'm using some pandemic time to root through old slides/negatives/prints, and digitize selected images. I started off on a particular topic, but have expanded scope to try to digitize selected images from all pre-digital years. Our digital family collection starts in 2000; the old slides start about 1940, with prints going back to around 1900. I expect it will amount to a couple thousand images or perhaps a lot more. I'm curating with inclusion in mind. I'm shooting the 35mm slides and negatives and 6cm slides with DSLRs, and will be scanning prints with flatbeds, and am happy with those techniques and results. I'm not looking for advice on this aspect. I'm post-processing with Lightroom, and am pretty satisfied with restoring colors, removing color casts, etc. I'll be posting the results to some hosting site for family use, and will want search capabilities, so am trying to build in any metadata/keywords that will be needed. So far, I've put best-determined year-month in the keywords, added rudimentary captions, and changed the metadata capture dates. I've decided to add to the keywords: names of people in the image; year; location; event; maybe image source (family collection, medium). I want to avoid continually coming up with more types of keywords and repeatedly backfilling what I've already done, so any advice on keywords/metadata will be much appreciated. For a hosting site, some suggestions have been Smugmug, Adobe Portfolio, and Google Photos. I'm looking for security, good search capabilities that will use my metadata/keywords, ease of adding more images, low cost, and a record of site permanence. Any discussion and suggestions are welcome. I also welcome discussion of everything I have not thought of for this project. thanks Bill Kuta
  4. Hi All I have just upgraded to windows 10 which has finally killed my legacy keywording workflow I am looking for a tool that can help me: 1. easily sort individual keywords 2. remove duplicates 3. if it can also suggest additional keywords that would be great 4. if it could correct or warn about my atrocious spelling - even better Some of you oldtimers will be able to recognize this as the now, completely dead (not mostly dead), ImageKeyworder Thanks for any and all pointers and suggestions
  5. Can anyone recommend a good program for captioning, keywording, cataloging and searching a very large library of labelled pictures? For years, I used iview Media Pro (and predecessors) but the current owners have stopped supporting it, and it's now almost useless. Any suggestions welcome. Many thanks.
  6. Interesting read on the meaning of images, artificial intelligence, and keywords. https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/art-design/2019/10/trevor-paglen-artist-who-created-imagenet-roulette-thinks-ai-taking-us
  7. This came back to my attention this morning while looking through All of Alamy searches. I've known about this for years, but also seem to have forgotten it for years. Apologies to those for which this is old hat. Let's take Washington, DC. "DC" is the official US Post Office designation for "D.C.", which is an abbreviation for District of Columbia. If you enter a keyword of "D.C.", any subsequent search for it on Alamy will strip out the punctuation and search for "d c". If you enter a keyword of "DC", the Alamy search will look for "dc". If you have only one of "DC" and "D.C." keywords for an image, that image will not come up for the other keyword. Searches on those two keywords show that some images have both and some have only one or the other. And All of Alamy results show that both forms are used for searches. There are lots of other examples, such as "USA" vs "U.S.A." So my questions: How much do you take this into account for keywording? What are some major examples?
  8. Hey all, it's about a year ago that I made my first submission to Alamy. With over 6000 photos online and with only a few sales yet I'm thinking about improving keywords and captions. Do you have any ideas what I can do better, should avoid or what mistakes I should definitely correct? Please note that I have already read the guides on keywording on Alamy. Or do I just need more patience? Cheers, Caspar
  9. Can anybody advise me whether, or not, the 'Discoverability' bars actually move at all? I haven't got many images up yet, but the ones I have are fully key worded to the extent that I can't add any more. The "Discoverability' bar is still stick in the orange sector (poor discoverability) and I don't really know what I can do to get it to budge. Is this a Beta feature? Thanks, Barry
