LR 4 metadata Overwritten...sometimes
« on: March 15, 2013, 10:12:02 AM »
My workflow practice is to do preliminary edits and metadata application in PM and then import the selects into Lightroom for processing.
After this point I try do do all metadata changes in Lightroom and auto save to xmps which PM recognizes.
Occasionally I will need to change the metadata after the file is in Lightroom (to correct an error etc).
If I do it in PM, I then read the metadata on the file back into my lightroom catalog to keep everything up to date....
Sometimes this also overwrites my cropping and image corrections....most of the time it doesn't.
Anyone know what controls this?

Marc,

Does it matter which file format(s) you're working with?  I don't know why the problem would be happening because I have not seen it happen myself.
