P: Support for keyword and metadata editing

The good news is that LR Mobile runs on a different release cycle, so there is still some hope!

Just wanted to update a bit on the keyword issues in the third party app (Photosmith). The problems were actually due to my errors. However the procces to add keywords, partcularly new ones, is convoluted and it is very easy to end up with stuff that needs to be fixed after syncing to Lightroom.

Agree and yes; the ability to edit captions and key words is what I would like to see most and it would save me a lot of time. I too currently use a third party App with the same issues as you. Hopefully we will see an update to LR Mobile soon and not have to wait for LR7!

Though it has nothing to do with this topic, on the plus side for LR6 it does now support the TIF format for both import and editing. Perhaps a step in the direction of RAW support?
I'm assuming by access you mean editing metadata because you can view some real basic metadata (camera type, lens, aperture etc) in LR mobile.

And LR6 (CC) is disappointing because we still cannot access metadata through the Mobile App!

Ditto for keywording and titles too!

The main purpose of obtaining CC for me was the need to sort out and attribute photos quickly on the go, without much editing, but lack of keywording functionality makes my purchase just useless! And there is no reaction from Adobe on this subject for a year - it's just a shame!!

Ooppps! I'll admit I have not used Photosmith in a while and decided to keyword some photos on commercial breaks while watching some TV and, low and behold, the hierarchy problem was fixed in an update that occured since the last time I used the program. Interface is still unweildy though.

Are we ever going to see keywording in Lightroom Mobile? Ever since the release of this product that is the feature I have been waiting for. To be honest I have no desire to edit my photos on my iPad and have been searching for a way to use this product in my workflow. Adding flagging and rating was a step in the right direction however not enough to give it a spot in my workflow. Add a well integrated keywording method and it's definitely there. I'll admit I currently use a third party app that allows me to do keywording that then syncs back to Lightroom. It works OK but there are some consistency issues with preserving Keyword hiearchies that are irratating. I'm assuming it would be easier to solve these problems in the Lightroom Mobile to Desktop sync.

Plus if you need to create a new keyword in Photosmith you can only do it at the top level of your heirarchy. While not a deal killer, it is pretty irratating to have to relocate those new keywords thw next time you are in Lightroom on your copmuter. And honestly, I find the method used by Photosmith to assign keywords to be rather klunky.
