Mono Sound Posted October 17, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I startet shooting analogue again at the beginning of the year, and (sadly, as far as my wallet is concerned) think that I am now hooked. I do however have one question : if, like me, you use Lightroom for your analogues/scans as well as digital photos, how can you feed LR with the most important EXIF Data ? I am not thinking about Aperture or speed, which I rarely note, but more of the basics such as Film, NativeSpeed, Speed at which it was shot, push/pull information ? thank you Mono Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Hi Mono Sound, Take a look here Organising your files. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LarsAC Posted October 17, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 17, 2016 My recommendation is to buy an enlarger and a set of binders, that's what I did at least. Something like this might be an alternative you are looking for instead: https://mkaz.com/2015/09/09/exif-data-for-analog-film/ Regards Lars Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwj Posted October 18, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 18, 2016 You could use key wording, which I believe can be done at the time of import. I'm too lazy for that, or I don't remember, so what I do is number each roll of film, and then when I scan it I name the file Roll#_Image#, so for instance a file might be called 34_02. Then on the actual negative which is sleeved, I have a little sticker that has the roll number, date, EI and developer on it. None of that information is in LR though, but if I'm curious I can go back and look at what film I used for a particular shot. On the other hand, I'm sure you can get plugins to edit the exif in a way that will suit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted October 18, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 18, 2016 I use keywords (but in Bridge) for these things. They're also recognised when uploaded to Flickr, though that may not apply to you. I will only assign a few keywords, trying to keep it simple. br Philip Hello, I startet shooting analogue again at the beginning of the year, and (sadly, as far as my wallet is concerned) think that I am now hooked.

EoinC Posted October 18, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 18, 2016 I use keywords in LR, assigning them to the batch when importing the scans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
