Lightroom Mobile Keywords

When I load up a synced collection with my Droid and add photo keywords, they don't appear on my desktop app. All other meta data does.

Are these available on the desktop or only mobile?

Correct answer 99jon

Which desktop? Lr CC or Lr Classic?

Lr CC sync’s originals

Lr Classic sync’s smart previews

Keywords should be available in the LR CC desktop app but not the Lr Classic app.

I use Lr since V2. I have about 40.000 tagged Images, which are mostly tagged years ago. Yesterday I purchase Adobe CC and now I like to try out the new possibilities.
There is not one image in my library, that was tagged after purchasing Adobe CC.

Yes, writing to XMP is on and I also have write metadata to the files again. But still... like I write above.


Can you clarify the sequence of events? Earlier you said some keywords had transferred, now you're saying none have? Which is it?

The correct sequence should be:

1. Apply keywords in LR Classic, write them to XMP (either automatically or via Ctrl-S).

2. Add selected images to collections, set those collections to sync.

3. After the photos (smart previews) have uploaded, start new LRCC on the desktop (or phone or tablet or Web), wait for all images to sync down from the cloud.

4. Select an image in LRCC, go into Detail view, click on the tag icon bottom right and you should then see the keywords that you applied in Classic.

Have you done all that in that order?
