P: IPTC information in Info Panel

Adobe needs to include IPTC information in the file INFO in Lr CC. This is the industry standard for file information and a requirement of most photo agencies, so why isn't it in CC? Cloud storage is great but without IPTC it's not of much use to those submitting to an agency.

I am requesting the inclusion of additional metadata fields, specifically the IPTC Extension fields, within the Information pane. I wish to switch from Adobe Bridge to Adobe Lightroom Cloud-based to view local photos.

My work requires IPTC metadata for headline, caption, credit, and date. Currently I have to edit in CC, export into classic, and edit there, or edit it directly/through windows explorer.

I use Lightroom on iPad and computer, in the iPad version it is quite good and easy to use, what it lacks and is very necessary in a tool to put metadata, which it does have in the desktop version, for those of us who work In the media it is a basic tool

It would be nice if you could extend the metadata customization in the cloud-based version. In Lightroom Classic it gives you way more options. 

 

I know that you can add Copyrights but it would be helpful if you could alter the ITCP data even further. At least so you can add an author to photografs.

 

Extend the ITCP data customizer please.

Lightroom is used by professionals. Especially editorial photographers. But they are forced to move edited images to a desktop to add and edit simple IPTC captions. Lightroom desktop has IPTC implementation so it can't be too hard to bring it to Lightroom for iOS. The LEAST adobe could do is allow the 'Description / Caption' dialogue box to be resized so a user can see and edit multiple lines of text in the field and be able to filter and search on the description.

Lightroom is used by professionals as a professional tool all over the world. Many photojournalist use Lightroom and need to use other apps to enter and edit IPTC data. IPTC should be incorporated directly in Lightroom.

Are there plans to capture and view all the camera meta data for a photo in Lightroom cloud base application? Of course we can see ISO, shutter speed, aperture but why can't we see the other data that's available on the camera for a photo? For example, exposure compensation, metering mode, the focus point on the photo, etc. If I copy a photo from the camera memory card to a computer or even an iPad, much of this data is captured. But when the photo is imported into Lightroom it appears to be no longer available for viewing. Seeing this data would assist in improving my photography skills, as I could better learn what worked and didn't work.

In Lightroom Classic (and many other image processing applications - such as Google's defunct Picassa), there's a lot of metadata available about each image. In Lightroom (Creative Cloud), the metadata offered is limted to this:

  • Camera used
  • Lens used
  • File size
  • ISO
  • Focal length
  • Aperature
  • Shutter speed

 

In my situation, I'd like to be able to see what shooting mode I was in when I took a photo (PASM or Auto). Lightroom (Creative Cloud) doesn't provide this information. However, if I export an image as a JPEG and import it into Picassa, ALL of the metadata displays. So the information exists, it just is allowed to display in Lightroom (Creative Cloud) .

Yes, I could import an image into Lightroom Classic, but that's not the point. Viewing an image's metadata should not require jumping through hoops. This is basic stuff.

 

If I've missed something obvious, let me know (but a chat with Adobe Support concluded that I haven't missed anything).

 

Finally, I did check to see if a more complete amount of metadata is viewable when accessing images on the Adobe cloud ... Nope! It's the exact same information that displays when using the app.

 

Are there more of you like me that would like to see this added in?
