Apply metadata to photos when importing
In the Import Photos dialog box, choose any
of the following options from the Metadata menu:
-
To not apply metadata to photos during import, choose None.
-
To apply a set of metadata that you saved as a template, choose a metadata preset from the menu.
-
To apply a new set of metadata to photos while importing, choose New and enter the information in the New Metadata Preset dialog box.
-
To add keyword metadata to photos while importing, type the keywords in the Keywords text box. Use commas to separate the keywords.
Note: When adding metadata to photos, Lightroom doesn’t apply
the data to proprietary camera raw files but to their sidecar XMP files.
