With the new Lightroom Classic V11 we have all sorts of new tools but a lot of other enhancements and improvements were included that might be missed.
View metadata for target photo When multiple images are selected, you can now choose to view metadata for the active image or across all selected images. To view the metadata for the active image, select Target Photo or select Selected Photos to view metadata of all the selected images. By default, Target Photo is selected as the option to view metadata.
You now have control over how you update and display metadata. You can customize and arrange metadata according to your preference in the Metadata panel.
Customized Meta Data Panel
Click ARRANGE in the customize panel and ou can also change the order and rearrange them
EDIT ONLY MODE
Click on the eyeball next to Default and it will take you to Edit Only mode this speeds up batch editing of metadata for multiple images.
CHANGES TO SAVING TO XMP
In the past every edit you did and every slider you moved was being saved in real time to xmp files. This greatly slowed down the performance of lightroom and therefore I didnt recommend automatically citing changes to xmp.
However, with the new Lightroom Classic those edits will be saved into XMP only AFTER active image selection changes.
As I have multiple backups of my catalog I still dont select this preference but for those who do you should see a significant improvement in speed.
Suzanne is a professional freelance photographer whose work regularly appears in Arizona Highways Magazine, as well as numerous national publications such as National Geographic,Outdoor Photographer, Digital Photographer and calendars for the Nature Conservancy, Smith Southwestern and The Global Action Team.
Suzanne is a photographer, speaker, author and educator. Teaching Lightroom and Photoshop in private and group settings.
Suzanne was born and raised amidst the green rolling hills of the English countryside but is now completely at home surrounded by the arid desert and swirling sandstone of the Southwest. She finds Arizona a land of intense beauty and preposterous contradiction. Her photographs capture the diversity of waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, autumn leaves and desert sands, from the magnitude of the immense landscape to the smallest, most discreet of details.
The desert can be unforgiving of even the smallest errors, treating the unprepared harshly. But, for the few with passion, those who are willing to begin their trek at the end of the road, the secret world of the Southwest is revealed. Suzanne loves to challenge the ruggedness of the land, the great distances to be traveled, and intense weather conditions to capture images of Arizona and the Southwest that expose its many treasures and extremes.
Her images reflect her keen sense of curiosity, patience and the ability to see the world and its magic places in new and creative ways.
