I made a slight change in my metadata preset thinking that it would be quite simple to update every photo in my catalogue with the new one. To my horror, it looks like each photo will have to be brought up one at a time, changed, and then saved. I tried everything I can think of including selecting all the photos within a folder and then making the change, but no luck. I also found a Sync Metadata button but that didn't work. There must be a way to set all my photos to the new metadata preset. HELP!

What are you trying to change?
Some metadata remains unique to each image, whilst some can be common throughout.

In the Library module, select all the photos you want to update.
Right click on any selected photo, click on "Metadata Presets", click on your preset name and then click "All Selected" in the "Apply Metadata Preset" window that appears.

I finally got my desk caught up enough to dedicate some time toward this project and it went without a hitch! In fact, in didn't take long at all. I did want to follow up by thanking you personally for extending yourself to help me. I am very grateful for the labor your knowledge spared me. Thanks again, Bob
