Control Z Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I'm giving Bridge a try. I've been using Lightroom for the past few months after Apple stopped developing Aperture. In Bridge, I navigated to a folder of photos that I've worked on. Some have metadata added through Lightroom, such as star ratings and keywords, and many have been adjusted using Lightroom. However, those adjustments, star ratings, and keywords don't show up in Bridge. Is there a way to get that information in Bridge so I can search my photos and continue to work on edits that I've already done? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Z Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) I have a Mac desktop running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 and Lightroom cc. It is over 2 years old, and has 20GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 136GB free out of 2TB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I used the trial version of CleanMyMac3. I am in the process of replacing internal HD with a 1TB SSD for system, apps, etc. and keeping photos and other data on the existing internal HD (which was replaced recently by the Apple Store).

Will it work retroactively, or only for edits going forward? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd hazard a guess that opening all the files again in LR would be no less time-consuming than retagging all the files in Bridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Z Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 So if I open the photo in the LR develop module it will write all the edits to the xmp file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Z Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Viewing the files in Lightroom with the xmp box checked in preferences did the trick--thanks! Edited April 22, 2016 by Control Z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
