Photo Supreme

I have struggled since "day 1" with the way other software reads metadata embedded by PSu. The method of selecting "labels" inside "categories" is super convenient, but SOME other software "double down" with adding the "flat" keywords AND a bogeyed up version of the hierarchal list. Apparently PSu ...

Thanks Hert. I will dig into that. The images associated with this issue most recently are from a Sony RX100Va, so it may be camera specific. These images were first "seen" by PSu and not previously manipulated by other software.

Thanks. This is extremely helpful to understand. I do not "ask" PSu to create stacks, but I do see it running during import as an activity. This may turn out to be useful now that I understand what it means.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I assumed that "Convert Metadata to XMP" does mean create an XMP file inside the same folder as the original file. If that is not what it is intended to do, then WHAT is it intended to do? I am happy to do as you recommend, however I have not found the "Repository" area ...

SOME, but not all of photos will have a colored line under the thumbnail, which is not a color flag. Photos in the same folder, same camera, same date etc will contain different colored lines...or none at all. I have been through the manuals looking ...

v2025 build 2025.0.2.7404 (A.64bit) Mac Studio

When rotating thumbnails 90 degrees left, the "[" bracket rotates them 180 degrees left every time, resulting in a need to rotate them RIGHT with "]" bracket, which rotates the required 90 degrees to get thumbnail in proper orientation. I do not see ...

v2025 build 2025.0.2.7404 (A 64bit) macOS Sequoia , Mac Studio

Metadata for HEIC files is "saved to files" via menu and cmd-S. ON1 does see the keywords and star ratings, but Graphic Converter does not AND Apple Photos (which is where I also store exported compressed files) live. The option to ...

Thanks Hert....as additional info discovered after my original post, it became noticeable that it was the same folder of photos that was constantly being "worked" (thumbnail and synchro). I did finally cancel the process and when I reopened PSu, the process did not restart. I did a catalog compact ...

As reported in a different post, I have been struggling with whether to "Write hierarchical keywords" in Synchronization settings. I finally opted to do this, and after making the change, I did a "write metadata to files" in all 58000 + photos. Then I did a folder verify (binary) to capture the ...

I have committed to PSu as my primary DAM and think it is superior to everything else I've tried...BUT...keywords written into xmp files are read by ON1 (and also Photo Mechanic 6+) as follows: A photo in PSu with keywords "2024" (under category "Years", keyword "Denver" (under Category "Places ...

YES...I think what was happening is that I was switching between PSu and ON1 and it was the apparent incompatibility of keyword metadata between the two that was altering what I was seeing in PSu.

I stabilized the issue by avoiding the use of ON1 (2025) on my main computer ( Mac Studio) to isolate ...

Using macOS Sequoia / PSu build 2024.2.2.6668 (A 64bit)....Each time I open PSu, more of my Categories are appearing as ADDITIONAL categories under Miscellaneous. I have repeatedly opened each of these Miscellaneous-new categories, highlighted the thumbnails and dragged them to their original main ...

RECENTLY (perhaps after upgrade to macOS Sequoia) HEIC files from iPhone15Pro (and Fujifilm X-T5) seem to be handled by PSu normally except the "labels" (keywords) are not being stored in a manner readable by editing software (ON1_2025, Graphic Converter 12, and Apple Photos). Prior to macOS upgrade ...

This is ONLY happening (to my knowledge) with Olympus TG5 (tough) raw files. The user manual states that "ORF" files are supported, but perhaps not ALL of them. I can (and have) imported them into catalog with "keywords" assigned in earlier / other software. Those keywords are visible as expected in ...
