The catalog's metadata needs to be updated. - select "All Photographs" in the Library module, Catalog panel - Set Grid view - use the filter bar, Metadata switch, set the first column to "Lens", and click on "Unknown" - Select all - use the "Metadata->Save metadata to file..." command to write out all keywords and other IPTC metadata to the file system for this set of files - use the "Metadata->Read metadata from file..." command to refresh all the metadata for this set of files
Lightroom will re-read the original files' metadata and the metadata you output from the catalog this way, integrating and updating all original image files with the newly incorporated lens names. It will not refresh the metadata shown by virtual copies, however, so if you use virtual copies in your workflow you'll still have some "unknown" lens even for image files which it now knows about. Of course, if you're persistent, you can fix that too ... ;-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
