USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 3 Organizing photos in the catalog

Shift By Set Number Of Hours (Time Zone Adjust) Changes the capture time by the number of hours you add to or

subtract from the original time. Change To File Creation Date For Each Image Changes the capture time in the camera EXIF data to the file creation

date. If you select this option, skip step 3. 3 In the New Time area of the dialog box, do one of the following:

• If you selected Adjust To A Specified Date And Time, type a new date and time in the Corrected Time text box. You can also select the date and time values and then use the Up or Down Arrow buttons to increase or decrease the values.

• If you selected Shift By Set Number Of Hours, choose a value from the pop-up menu to adjust the time forward or back. Important: If more than one photo is selected in the Grid view, Lightroom changes the capture time for the active photo by the specified adjustment. (The active photo is previewed in the Edit Capture Time dialog box.) Other photos in the selection are adjusted by the same amount of time. If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, the capture time is changed only on the active photo. 4 (Optional) To revert the capture time back to the original, select the photos in the Grid view or the Filmstrip and

choose Metadata > Revert Capture Time To Original.

Create and apply metadata presets Create a metadata preset Specific metadata can be saved as a preset for reuse on one or more photos. Using a metadata preset saves you the effort of manually entering the same information for different photos. 1 From the Preset menu in the Metadata panel, choose Edit Presets. 2 Type information for any of the following groups: Basic Info Lets you enter metadata for a caption, rating stars, and a text label. IPTC Content Writes metadata for a brief summary of the photo, a newscode found at the newscodes.org website, and

the name of the person who wrote the photo description. IPTC Copyright Writes metadata for the name of the copyright holder, usage rights granted for the photo, and web address of the copyright holder. IPTC Creator Writes metadata for the name, address, contact information, website, and job title of the author of the

photo. IPTC Image Writes metadata for a publication description using guidelines listed at newscodes.org, a description of the photo using guidelines specified by newscodes.org, and information about where the photograph was taken. IPTC Status Writes metadata for the title of the photo, any job number used for the photo assignment, instructions for transmission, usage or rights of the photo, the name of the photographer, company or agency, and the owner of the photo. IPTC Extension Writes metadata for five categories of supplemental information about the content of the image:

Administrative, Artwork, Description, Models, and Rights. Keywords Writes metadata for the listed keywords, appending them to any existing keywords applied to the photo.
