imported_jim Posted December 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good news : for newly LR2.6 imported DNG files, LR2.6 shows the "estimated" f/stop used. BUT for DNG files which has been imported by a previous LR version, this information doesn't appear. What to do to display this information in LR2.6 for these "old" DNG files ? Any idea ?

farnz Posted December 26, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2009 I have an idea that the CornerFix software from Sandymcg offers this functionality. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted December 26, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 26, 2009 Select the folder containing the photographs, then CMD (or Ctrl) A to select all the files, then select menu option Metadata>Read Metadata from files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photon42 Posted December 31, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 31, 2009 Select the folder containing the photographs, then CMD (or Ctrl) A to select all the files, then select menu option Metadata>Read Metadata from files. A word of caution: yes, it works, but it also removes all your data entered, if you haven't yet saved the metadata to the respective files. So before hitting Metadata>Read Metadata, maybe do Save Metadata to File (Propeller S for the keyboard-inclined).

Guest V64 Posted December 31, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 31, 2009 Om my Mac (G5), with multiple images selected ( in Library mode, Select All or Command/Button) the 'readmetadatafromfile' appears to set the est. aperture only on the first file selected - the rest appear to be unchanged. So I have to 'one at a time'. Any comments will be welcome DavidH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the menu entry says Read Metadata from Files, then this applies to more than one file for sure. Regards Ivo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selecting them in the thumbnail/filmstrip area does not really select all the images. I have always had a problem with the way this works. You think you are selecting the images but any adjustments or actions taken when doing the selection in filmstrip area only happens to the one active (brighter) image. The other image are a darker grey then the active image. At least that has been my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted December 31, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 31, 2009 Actually I just tried this by selecting the image in the Content/Grid View area and got the same result as selecting them in the Filmstrip area, only the active file was updated. I then went to the Metadata menu item and selected Read Metadata from file, without seelcting any files, and ALL the files got updated. I also notice that now the real lens name and Max F/stop shows also. Instead of just 35/50/whatever mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird - I find that the 'readmetadata from file ' menu item is disabled - unless one has at least one file selected! in either the Grid or firlm strip area!

My mistake. I tried it again without having any images selected and I got the same as you. So It would seem I had at least one image selected when I used the Read Metadata From File menu option.
