No, I was getting those two confused as well, clearly they both begin with 'E', it must be that, like 'Vaccine' and 'Virus', people do that all the time!

All LR does is build a card file library which points LR to the file you want to work on in your folder and opens it in LR. The image file stays on your disc or whatever. Allan I understand all that, Allan. MDM explained it to me ages ago. He gave it up as a lost cause, 😂 so don’t you start! I don’t want to. Period. Thanks anyway. They don’t call me Betty Bullheaded 🐂 LaRue for nothing! We all have a workflow that works for us. I have mine, and I like it, it’s familiar. Every so often I see posts where someone is having trouble with the catalog, and at this stage of my life, I have enough troubles. Murphy lives in my house, slapping his Laws on me often enough.

Just to put you in the picture I have been using LR for years too and I have NEVER had a problem with the catalog. All I can think is they are doing something wrong. Here come d'red arrows.

But not the negation, so i might just add editorial as a KW, and i'll have it after the next batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Phil Robinson Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 It's fiddly and time-consuming but you can use pseudonyms. If you have hundreds/thousands of images you want to change at once, you can make up a new pseudonym and as you amend them, assign them to the new pseudo. That will immediately be reflected in searches in Image Manager and you can do the next 500, put them in the new pseudo, and so on. When you're finished, put them all back.

That sounds like a good idea, I use Filemaker a bit and when searching a database there is an 'Omit' check-box, quite handy, saves having two cases for every criteria. I'd love to have it in AIM, find all images that don't have a particular keyword etc. You can do compound searches as well, find all with 'A' that don't have 'B' etc. If it bothered me then I could easily turn the download csv into a straightforward Filemaker database to do this kind of thing. In fact if I used the Lightroom Bridge Alamy plugin I could find and update particular groups of images. You've set me thinking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly do it to make sure I didn't miss US/UK spelling and variants. Typing "Colour -color " will return all the ones i forgot the US spelling for example. What is missing is the negative of the Checkbox, one i really want is one to highlight all the images i forgot to add the additional info. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
