Building an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Metadata Preset.mp4

Why abbreviations only for states and provinces? Abbreviation for a State or Province may not be known to those viewing the metadata internationally.

@dustoff499 Using the full state, or country, name in the image location metadata fields and the abbreviation in the photographer's home or office location fields makes it easy to differentiate between the two when you are using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom text search tool.

Another Great Vid, you might have to change it again at some point if your address changes, email address changes, home address ETC

Great video! I have successfully managed to edit all my metadata. However, whenever i export my pictures to a jpg file, and when i rightclick>properties on the file, the 'author' section is not named after me. How can i edit the 'author' section in the lightroom metadata settings?

[thelightroomlab]

@metastate69 Controlling the author section might require setting a copyright within your camera. That field is often a mirror for the camera's copyright info.

Check out the LR2/Mogrify plug-in from Timothy Armes. We have a video on how to use it to create borders on our site.

How can I import selected meta data on to the image,so its visible for anyone when I upload it to the web( facebook).Coz I get a lot of people asking me abt the lens info,shutter speed,iso...etc

Thanks in advance

@sharik4ever I wouldn't want any of that displayed on the image, lots of sites (like Flickr) allow you to display the metadata alongside the image, might be a decent compromise?

@sharik4ever

Doubt you can do that on Facebook. But, there is an add-on for Firefox, which can read the data if it exists in the image. BUT, believe that Facebook removes metadata when it is uploaded. With the addon you just rightclick on an image, in the menu there is an item EXIF, just click it. If it is there, it will show it.

Doubt you can do that on Facebook... BUT, if you go to Jeffreys site and get his EXIF program, it will show what is on Facebook and a lot of other sites.... I keep it in my "Bookmark Tabs" on Firefox. When you have the page with the picture open, just click on it to load and display the info.

Then if others ask, just send them here:

Personally, do not know why anyone bothers to ask or even wants to know.

Every time we take a photo, the lighting is -different- so the settings always vary. Take them even 10 minutes apart, and they can be different if there are scattered clouds. If they really want to know generally what settings to use, just learn the formula for Bright Sun, Cloudy days, Shade, etc. But, most cameras except my first ones back in the 30's, 40's, and 50's have meters on them. . . ..

@Kingair315 Dear Kingair315, I think that you are missing a critical point here. Yes, lighting changes constantly but marking your copyright and adding metadata about you the photographer is essential. This image doesn't change from camera to camera, scene to scene, or composition to composition. It's the information about you the artist that belongs in the metadata template.
