Exporting with Title, Caption, and other Information

In lightroom I have the option to title an image and caption it. I would like to export, or email the images with that information attached, so I don't have to manually add that in an email. The images are paintings and so it is important to the client that I add information like the title and the dimensions of the painting in. And I added that all in lightroom – but is there a way, when I email or export them the images, that the information is also attached?

Correct answer Jim Wilde

It depends on what you mean by "attached". If you mean a separate text file containing that data, then Lightroom (CC or Classic) cannot do that (although there may be an export plug-in for Classic that can).

If using Classic, when you export and you select the "All Metadata" option to be included in the Metadata panel of the export dialog, the data is included in the appropriate section of the file header of the exported file, and can be seen by viewing the file properties in a file browser (Finder/File Explorer).

If using LRCC, that data is included automatically in the file header of the exported file and can be viewed in the same way.

How do you make sure the medadata is "attached" if using lightroom cc?

You’ve posted to an ancient thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same one you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better off posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information, including system information, a complete description of the problem, and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

 

If the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

This thread will be locked. 

 

Thank you!
