Hi there,

I have a question about Metadata in Lightroom Classic - I believe I've encountered a bug, but I may just not understand it correctly - Copying meta-data from one image to a duplicate image does not seem to copy any meta-data other than capture date and time, despite "Check All" being selected in the copy step.

I've captured a short 2 minute video to demonstrate the specific issue im facing with Metadata in Lightroom.

How can I copy over all the metadata from the original file to its duplicate?

There is no bug here, just a limitation. Lightroom cannot copy/paste EXIF metadata, only added metadata.

Thanks for the reply! Sucks that its a limitation.

Is there any workaround I can attempt?

The problem lies with Luminar Neo. Can you use that as a Photoshop plugin rather than stand alone? If it runs as a Photoshop plugin, then it is unlikely that it will strip the metadata from the final image, because in that case there won't be a new tiff that overwrites the existing one.
