Note: Before defining your Lightroom
Metadata Preset Details, make sure you’ve created one or more preset
names in Maintenance > Digital >
Lightroom Metadata Presets.
Defining the preset details is basically setting up a table of rules that let Spectra/Stratus Desktop know what a Lightroom rating, color label, or keyword
should “equal” in Spectra/Stratus. Examples include:
-
An image with a rating
of no stars in Lightroom should be marked as “Not Selected”
in Spectra/Stratus. -
An image with a four
star rating in Lightroom should be marked as “Selected”
in Spectra/Stratus. -
An image with a red
color label in Lightroom should be put in an image group called “Outdoor.” -
An image with a yellow
color label in Lightroom should be put in an image group called “Special
Effects.” -
and so on…
When you’re ready to define the preset details, open Maintenance
> Digital > Lightroom Metadata Preset Details.
-
Select a Lightroom
Metadata Preset from the drop-down list. -
To add a detail line, click once in the blank
row or click New on the ribbon. -
In the first column, select a Metadata
Type. These are items that have been assigned in Lightroom,
including Color Label, Image Rating, and Keyword. -
In the second column, enter or type the Lightroom
selection that you will be defining for Spectra/Stratus. Note:
When typing in color labels or keywords, make sure to type it in exactly
as it appears in Lightroom, including capitalization. -
In the third column, select whether metadata of
this type will translate to a Selection
or an Image Group in Spectra/Stratus. -
Finally, in the fourth column, enter or select
the specific selection rating or image group.
