![]() ![]() This has been a constant feature request since v1 in 2007. Also, Lightroom is less costly and more functional for Art Historians. ![]() If this is confirmed, large institutions can plan on buying Lightroom as a better (future proof) pre-upload (and personal collection) organizer for large sets of images vs Bridge as Bridge relies directly on a file system and the file system can become a very disorganized place. So I'm wondering if Adobe's already standard XMP "Custom File Info Panels" functionality will be implemented in Lightroom v4. The fact of the matter is the world just doesn't use only IPTC anymore. They have already embraced Bridge as a defacto with its custom file info panels but Lightroom still doesn't support that even though it advertises its strong metadata credentials. ![]() Large institutions and individuals alike are needing to quickly batch edit large amounts of raw scans and export/embed with compatible image metadata. ![]() VRA Core 3 and 4 are being supported by major applications across the web. So, it's 2011, and we still don't have Lightroom metadata support like Bridge. aspect-ratio would be another popular derived item (cropped-width/cropped-height). Maybe pre-program that one into the included custom-metadata plugin so users would also have a ready-made example to follow. Of course users would need to be able to manage custom metadata fields without editing lua files, but dynamic metadata definition is needed by plugins anyway.Įxtra special bonus idea: Allow advanced users to use expressions to created derived metadata types, so users could create pixel-count metadata item from width x height metadata, as example. *** - Maybe an even better idea: package a Custom Metadata plugin with Lightroom, pre-installed in Lightroom, so users have the capability AND have a plugin that will also serve to break the plugin ice, so to speak. PS - *Please* at least fix the SDK to support all data types. This can be done now with plugins like CustomMetadata (although all items are treated like text in smart collections and library filters - a sore point for me), but I think this needs to be built into Lightroom. Enumerated Set of Values (dropdown lists). Some use keywords and existing IPTC text fields as work-arounds, but what's really needed is a way for users to define custom metadata dynamically, to include types: It has come to my realization that a fair number of feature requests could be satisfied simply by allowing users to define custom metadata *without* having to install a 3rd party plugin.Īll too often users want to "make notes" about a photo, or associate photos somehow, or record some photo status. ![]()
