    Exclamation (!) on images from a tethered shoot

    SF Ellen Community Member

               I completed a tethered shoot last night, and today I noticed am exclamation point on two of my images (After my first edit, I have 217 images). When I click on the I get an error message about saving from the disk or catalogue-I have attached a screenshot of this error message.

       

      Can anyone translate this message for me?

       

      I'm on Mac running 10.6.8, Lightroom 3.6, and shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II. I literally just got my camera back from Canon, where it was being repaired for a dysfucntional port, so I am really hoping this is not an issue with my camera.

       

      Thanks!

          This message can appear if you are automatically applying metadata to the image upon import. Since the metadata has not been saved to the drive yet, it wants to know if you want to update the files on your drive or go back to the original metadata thats on the drive.

          So import button if you want to go back to the original metadata or overwrite button to update the files on the drive.

          Its a good habbit to get into is save the metadata back to the drive when you can, that will make sure any other app that reads the metadata is using the latest data and should anything go awry with your catalog, you will have less to do to restore that catalog.

           

          The other time you will see this message is when you use another app like Adobe Bridge to update the metadata. This allows you the opportunity to update your catalog. That would be a time to import settings from disk.

          I hope that helps.
