Daminion and Lightroom Tagging Integration Guide

This guide provides detailed instructions on integrating tagging between Daminion and Lightroom. It outlines two primary methods for displaying Lightroom’s people tags in Daminion. The first method involves tagging your archive in Lightroom using facial recognition or other tags, saving these tags to the file’s metadata, and then importing the files into Daminion, which will automatically recognize and display the tags. The second method allows for simultaneous work in both applications. It emphasizes the importance of enabling auto-synchronization in Daminion to prevent overwriting tags. The guide includes step-by-step instructions for ensuring that tags from both applications are correctly synchronized and displayed. It concludes with a reminder to verify metadata in Lightroom before assigning new tags to avoid data loss. A note on creating backups of the Daminion catalog is also included to ensure data integrity during testing.
