problems with lightroom and color class

[eja]

Here are my settings for pm. I can't get it to recognize the stars or the color class.  I'm using Os 10.4.11 and PM version4.6.1 and Lightroom version 2.3

1.tiff and 2.tiff.

3.tiff are the Lightroom settings.

Any help would be appreciated.  I read one thread and tried to set my version up as noted, but I must be missing something.

Thanks

Is Lightroom producing updated XMP sidecar files for your RAW files?  What file types are you working with?

Well, I"m not sure how to tell if LR is producing the updated sidecar files.  I am working with Nikon NEF files.  After some fiddling I am now able to get the color class to recognize be recognized in LR.  I had to tell it to read the new IPTC/XMP data.  I'll have to check on the star rating tomorow.

Thanks

All you need to do is use the Finder to check to see if an XMP sidecar file corresponding to a NEF file you changed in LR exists and the date of the file seems reasonable.  If it doesn't exist or is older than expected, then you need to get LR to create/update the XMP sidecar file.

Ok, I got the problem solved with color class on my desktop.  On my laptop however I can't get it to work.  I have the same settings as described in the manual and still no luck.  When I update color class in lightroom it is recognized in pm, but not the other way around.  When I tell LR to read the new metadata, it doesn't appear to be reading it.  I look on the LR metadata display and it still shows the old Label and not the new ones I created to match LR.

Yes, I tried reverting in PM and deleting xmp/iptc data, but that didn't work.  Any suggestions?

laptop has 20.4.11 and PM 4.6.1

Could you post screenshots of your General, Files, and IPTC/XMP tabs in the Photo Mechanic Preferences dialog?  Use the 'Additional Options...' link while creating your reply and you can upload JPEG images.
