I concur with Glenn that minimizing camera metadata does not work when exporting TIFFs. It works only when exporting to JPEGs. An Adobe rep at a LR seminar I attended in 2007 was surprised when I demonstrated this. He said he would get back to me, but never did. Most files I send to clients are TIFFs, not JPEGs, so the Photoshop workaround is necessary to strip all metadata. Then, the desired IPTC metadata has to added.

@ Rich

When you are done cropping an image, do not double-click nor close the crop tool; Just go to the next image and you will still be in crop mode. Only close the toll when all images are done.

Matt,
What’s up, are you OK? No new posts since last Friday?

Another great tip Matt,
But doesn’t LR already have a bit of its metadata stripped anyway?
Using a simple exif viewer (I use the excellent firefox one written by Alan Raskin araskin@allstream.net) shows more details than LR.
Is it possible to get LR to show more metadata ?

Hi Matt,

Is it possible to check on both “Minimize Embedded Metadata” and “Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy”? When I check on Minimize Embedded Metadata the other grays out. Any idea why we can’t get both?

It does not work exporting tiff’s at least in version 2.2 have not tried it in 2.3. Any one else have any other input on the tiff export?

Hi Matt,
Love the tips and tricks… I have a question completely off topic, but was not sure where to post it.
Q. While in the develop module and moving from image to image is there a way to set up Lightroom to open the image and automatically go into “Crop Mode”. While it’s not a big deal to hit the R button, I do it on almost every image I process and would like to automate the process if possible.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

Hi Matt,

I was wondering why this video isn’t on iTunes? I normally get them downloaded automatically but for some reason it has the GPS video as the latest one.

Thanks

Thanks for the video.
I actually just discovered this feature and love it. The best thing is that it keeps your copyright info in the metadata, while stripping everything else out. Great for sending to clients.
