Hello all
Probably something simple
But even after selecting "read metadata from file" in the Metadata drop down new Lightroom CC
no införmation is coming up on photos processed in a previous Lightroom [4 I think, I'm asking for a friend in need]
Is there any other work around to retrieve old Metadata on these files? any special settings?
Many thanks in advance, hope everyone is having a decent day!!!

If you're using a newer version of LR, trying to access photo metadata from an older version:
By default, photo metadata added within LR is stored in LR's catalog but not written back to the photos. If you still have the LR catalog for the older version, then open that catalog in the newer version of LR by doing File > Open Catalog. That will make a copy of the older catalog and convert it to the newer version, and all the metadata should be visible.
While it's possible to write the metadata from the catalog back to the photos, it sounds like it wasn't done in this case. If you don't have the older catalog, you may be out of luck.
More details about the exact versions of LR involved and the steps taken with the photos to get them into the new catalog would help clarify.
