Dessie,
Im new to Photomechanic only using it for 6months now im a sports Photographer . My work flow i ingest pics caption them first then export them to lightroom for edit i then export them from Lightroom to folder in desktop and then drag them back into photomechanic then send to publisher captions stay with them . Is there anywhay when you make the edits in lightroom that they would change in photomechanic as well instead of putting them out to desktop first then bringing them back in . Ps i hope this make sense Cheers Dessie
Multiple exports should not be needed. In Lightroom you'll need to use the Metadata menu's "Save Metadata to file" command which operates on a selection. So select the photos you want updated and then use that command. PM should now be able to see your updates.
I believe this can be made somewhat more automated by opening up the "Catalog Preferences" dialog, clicking on the "Metadata" tab and setting the "Automatically write changes into XMP". If that setting works for your images then you won't have to do anything for PM to see your metadata changes.
