Chester_Brown 10 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 When I keyword in LR5 and upload them and go to manage them, I find all my keywords are gone. Am I missing something, or doing something wrong? I upload to the Live News feed, and they show there. Thanks for the help. Link to post Share on other sites
fotoDogue 564 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Keywording in Lightroom only seems to work if you export the files from Lightroom with the "All Metadata" selected in the pull down menu. Edited March 19, 2015 by fotoDogue Link to post Share on other sites

Martin P Wilson 1,140 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 And they will be in alphabetic order, so you will lose any effort you put into ordering or grouping them for Alamy's proximity and keyword groups. Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 14,688 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 And, if you use the batch edit mode to keyword and enter and save anything in the comprehensive field, you will lose all of your LR keywords. Once done not rapidly forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites
Chester_Brown 10 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 So as I understand it, I keyword in LR5, for my purpose or if I send it elsewhere, but also have to keyword it in Alamy once it is in manage images. Link to post Share on other sites

You have to move the keywords around but at least they are already there to copy and paste from. Pearl Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using Lightroom 5.7 and it doesn't alter my keyword order in any way. They come out in Alamy Measures in the same order they went in. Link to post Share on other sites
Martin P Wilson 1,140 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks, that's useful. Last time I tested LR (probably 5.0) it was ordering keywords even on images that I had keyworded outside LR. It was one of the reasons why I moved away from it. I even had exchanges with Adobe about it. I will be able to reconsider LR if I switch away from C1Pro. Link to post Share on other sites
John Richmond 1,158 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 But LR is duplicating the first 60 characters of the keywords and adding them to the end. I can't find a way of stopping that. Link to post Share on other sites
