If we’re about to start working with images already inside Lightroom, this change isn’t retroactive so let’s hit Command-A or Control-A to select all the photos we want to use and then choose Metadata > Save Metadata to Files. Make sure there is a check mark next to “Automatically write changes into XMP”. From the Catalog Settings window (access via Lightroom menu on Mac, Edit menu on Windows), choose the Metadata tab. This way, any of our metadata changes like keywords or copyright are written to each image’s XMP file automatically. But I digress…īefore we start, let’s make sure Lightroom is set to automatically write changes to XMP. A lot of sports photographers that I know start with Photo Mechanic. This is the method that I use so Lightroom can apply my file-renaming structure, keywords, and copyright to the images. While you can use Photo Mechanic to ingest (another term for import), I’m going to assume your images are already inside Lightroom. Ok great…but now how do I put this workflow into place? This means that pressing 0-5 works as it does in Lightroom and rates the images with a 0-5. Under Accessibility, change the Single Key Shortcuts to be “0-5 sets Rating”. There are two settings inside Photo Mechanic that you’ll want to check are enabled.ġ. Believe me…I know it sounds like a complicated process, but it’s very quick and easy to do. Inside Lightroom, I can read the metadata and voila…my star ratings from Photo Mechanic appear in Lightroom. I use stars to rate my images and Photo Mechanic can write the stars to XMP metadata files. ![]() There’s almost no waiting to view your images and the only time it’s been slow for me happens when my computer is running slow. Lightroom’s raw processor is what generates the previews, but Photo Mechanic doesn’t have a raw processor because it’s using a camera-generated preview…so it’s blazing fast. ![]() Photo Mechanic is a lightweight piece of software that actually displays the same JPEG preview image that your camera shows on the LCD screen. Waiting for Lightroom can feel like an eternity, so we can use another program called Photo Mechanic to quickly browse and rate our images. Sometimes you just need to turn around images really quick when photographing an event like a wedding or party, maybe a concert or show…even just a quick portrait session. ![]()
