Hi all

I hope someone can help me.

I use Lightroom 3 to organize my pictures and adding keywords.
The problem is that whan I export them in a Tiff format and open it in adobe photoshop most of the keywords i have inserted before are gone.
Is there any setting I have to look for?

thanks

well
first of all consider English is not my first language so maybe I express myself in a non proper english :)

I discovered that only 65 character of the keywords are exported within the Tiff file :(

that means that i have to do the job of keywording 2 times

anyway thx for your reply Kerioak
 
Your English was perfect in this instance, I just found it strange that only some of the keywords were exported rather than none or all. I have had a quick look online and found this, would it apply to your problem?

Maybe also try - in Library view - Metadata - Save Metadata to file to see if that helps ?

Thanks Kerioak
but the first link does not apply to my problem since I use lightroom 3 and I need to export keywords to a Tiff file.
I have tried as you suggested to save Metadata to file but did not work.

Once I have inserted keywords in Lightroom 3 I expect them to be in the Tiff file after the export operation.
As I said it seems that only 64 character of the keyword metadata field are exported in the Tiff file. :'(

Hi again
I posted on the Lightroom forum and I have got an answer
I post here what was the problem just in case someone is interested :)
the problem was that between a keyword and another I did not put the comma

"The max length for a keyword in the IPTC spec is defined as 64 characters. Put commas between the words to make them separate keywords and you'll be fine."
