Thank you so very much for this informative video, Rob. I needed to do this exact thing. It appears that someone has tampered with your template. Would you be able to make available the correct Google Sheets template again?
Thanks so much for this video! Is it possible to add additional data besides name to be added to the QR code that is sent to LR? student id, grade, teacher??
It works for me in LR Classic on Mac, July 2024. I had to install the plugin manually through the Plugin Manager in LR, and give permissions when using for the first time. To get around it being from an 'unidentified developer', I had to run it to the point where Apple wouldnt let it run, cancel it, then go into System Settings>Privacy & Security>scroll down to Security and where it says to 'allow anyway' (this only shows up after trying to run it first). It then ran fine the next time. Hope this helps.
WOW thanks for this info. I have been shooting (worker) with a volume photographer and thinking about doing the same but not sports mostly couples, events, and portraiture.
That's what is nice...it can work for any even where you have to attach an order form to a file and face. :) I use it in schools frequently. I honestly don't know what I did before this.
Hi Rob, thanks for sharing this method for volume photography. How do you print out the QR code with names showing. This way, we can photograph the card and student at the same time as opposed to the "screen capture" method you have in your video.
Hi David. There are a number of ways to print out the QR code...you can print them from a database, you can print them like mailing labels, you can print them on stickers, cards, etc. That being said...I've tried this in the past. It is difficult to 1. make sure each kid has the correct card and 2. prevent kids from folding up the paper. Once folded, it's difficult to read. I've also had photographers goof up the focus on the QR shot, which makes naming the kid impossible. I've found the screen capture to be the best, easiest way. Let me know if I can help with this process. :). Rob
@@RobSigler Thanks Rob for getting back to me so quickly. I was trying to print the names along with the QR code image for a hard copy, but the image was too small.
This is great Rob, been looking for this type of solution. How do you handle kids that weren't on the list provide by the club? Can you generate a new QR code on the fly?
If a new kid shows up, just type their name in a blank field and a new QR code will pop up. So you DO need internet access...usually not a problem with today's phones. I just make a hotspot with my phone, and connect my iPad to it's wifi.
You can also add notes to their name, for example, if mom walks up and says "Make sure you retouch his zit!", you type that into the field next to his name, and the QR code will show that text when the file is renamed.
@@RobSigler Thank you. I also had a comment in one of the Facebook groups that you could have a few extra codes say 1-10 and just ad the details on a sheet and copy across later, I guess that could work if WiFi or mobile data isn't an option.
@@RobSigler Hi Rob this is awesome information! I'm an old fart so i don't know much about how to go about formatting google sheets but do you think you can develop this awesome concept further so that it can do the following - basically eliminating paper registration? 1). A customer scans a QR code (using her phone) that brings her to a registration page. She then inputs her or her sons/daughter name (whoever is going to have a picture taken), her email, & phone number). Google sheets then generates a QR Code with all those additional info. 2). The new QR code just generated can then be used by a photographer to identify the subjects before taking their pictures and renaming them later in LR. 3). I also would like for us to be able to Print info or convert it into a CSV format for other uses, like making followup, marketing, or use for automating the putting name of subject on their pictures, etc. Thanks so much.
TheArtisticPhotography.com thanks for the questions. I’ll answer the best I can...You can make a QR code that points to a website. So, you could put a QR code on your mailer/info letter, etc. Parents could scan the code, then enter the information. You could use any number of methods for creating a registration form (like wordpress plugins, etc). The tricky part comes in getting the database information into Google Sheets. You CAN do everything you want using a program called “FileMaker Pro,” but it’s more expensive than Photoshop. And by the time you learn the steep learning curve, it might be easier just to hire an assistant to do all of your dirty work. :). Best wishes...Your ideas have sparked my brain...I”m going to look into this (because I could use this technique too!)
Thank you so much! I needed to update this post, after a little bit of back and forward on my Mac, it IS working after so many years!!! You made my day, my month, my year!!! I would like to know what photographers do these days, are there other AI apps/systems thart can help to do this job? 🤔🤔🤔
Aaw Rob You are a STAR Mate🙏 This is a well detailed tutorial and am definitely going to follow the steps. Very informative and will be back with feedback. Many thanks Rob😇🙏
The general concept of this approach still works. You can get a barcode scanner, and zap it at the picture of the QR code to rename your files. I currently use SmartShooter by Tether Tools, zap the QR code with my barcode scanner, and it types the name of the file while shooting tethered. When not shooting tethered, I use Photo Mechanic and import using one subject per camera folder. This way I don't even have to scan codes.
Rob, Thank you so very much for providing such a great process. I do have a question, if I wanted to print out the QR codes to have on hand, do you have any way to do that currently?
Hi Abel! Thanks for watching my video! There are tons of apps for phones and computers that can help you print QR codes. A basic google search will turn up hundreds. You can also print them using any graphics application like photoshop, etc. you can even print them from spreadsheets.
Rod, so I had my shoot (about 375 kids) and The QR codes helped immensely in renaming. However, there have been a couple glitches you might want to know about. Like the qr code detector picking up codes that are NOT there. These kids have mesh jerseys. I think its seeing a code in the mesh. Only happened on about five or six.
Hey Paul, I know its been over 2 years since you wrote this, but I think I have come across the same problem as you. Did you manage to find a work around ?
You can use the same QR code for the same kid...that's why we add the 4 digit sequence number at the end of the file name. Jane_Davis-0001, Jane_Davis-0002...So once you sort your files by name, you see all of Jane Davis's pictures. So you'll see her in multiple costumes.
Hi Rob, great video - however I think ive followed your instructions correctly but Lightroom is no renaming them in sequence per barcode group of images. It's naming them all sequentially so the second barcode image in the collection is say 12345678-004.jpg not 12345678-001.jpg what have I done wrong?
Just curious if the LR Barcodes plugin is still working, we have used it in the past but it now is throwing an error "zdec" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. Anyone else run into this issue? and possible workarounds or other plugins that work?
@@RobSigler Sorry that you've turned into customer support for this company. Post your venmo or paypal and I'd gladly send you allll my money to get this to work. I'm having the same zdec issue and it's not reading a random .txt file that doesn't seem to exist.
@@cvzphotography I wish I could solve everyone's problems with the plugin, unfortunately, I'm not the developer. It still works on my M1 Mac, and it works for me. (don't you hate when people say that?). I'm not sure what to tell people now. I wish the developer would start updating this.
Hi Rob, Great video! Is the excel spreadsheet able to function outside on a standalone, non connected to internet platform? I haven't messed with it yet and just wondering since more than likely, I won't have access to Google when using it. Thx
Tony Palmieri unfortunately you’ll need the internet to look up the QR code’s. You could always print them ahead of the job, then just photograph them with a camera (and not screenshot). You could also save the QR code as a Jpg and save them on your device. I hope that helps! Best wishes.
@@RobSigler Yes thanks. I see the field and the site it refers to, to generate the QR code in the cell. Makes sense unless you have specific software to generate and code it yourself...blah blah... more work :). Thanks again
This is great! Thank you for this. I am curious about how this could work if you didn't have their names. I'm looking to do a headshot event and I just need to associate a QR code to a gallery.
Thank you for this. Has anyone been able to run this on the newest Mac OS. I am receiving an error message and asked to delete the plug in as it cannot be verified to be free of malware. I'm currently working on photos of 200 athletes and would love to not have to rename all the files individually.
I'm currently having the same issue. Even after changing my Mac security settings to allow the program it's still not working. It's saying a .txt file is not working. Did you ever find a fix? The company I just started working for loves this renaming process and i've never been able to get it to run smoothly. It's an ancient program and the support is nonexistent.
Hi Rob - This is great, Thank You! I am using Google forms to populate my Google Sheets which seems to break/delete the code from the cells. For example, it works fine when I prepopulate the cells in column B with your code and then manually fill column A in the sheet just like your template. However, when the information gets input in Column A via a google form response the code seems to disappear on that line in Column B? Any idea why?
I have a question. I take photos of our students. In the past, we print their names in big letters on yellow paper. They hold up the card, we take a photo. Then we take the card and take their real photos. Can we print a large QR code on the card rather than do a screenshot? This would keep it all in sequential order.
Sure...you can do whatever works. You can always sort your photos by capture time, and that will keep them in order. Tether Tools makes a plugin for LR that can read the QR code and rename your images automatically. I hope that helps.
Hi rob, I am looking at using this system for the first time. Is there anyway making the qr code larger? and also adding more information like team name etc. Thanks
I solved de issue. For some reason doesn't show any info on the last popup window but if you do the data propagation the data it's there. And the plug in do its job right. Thanks for the amazing video I just finish a 700 students school in a fraction of the time.
I'm getting an error during barcode detection. It seems that after 4 pictures, the plugin is trying to write to a read only file. I went to the containing folder and tried to take off the read- only property, but windows wont change the permissions. However, it seems to do the first four perfectly. Help!
Does this not work on iPhones? I've created a list with codes on my laptop, but the QR codes do not appear in the Google sheet when I open it in the sheets app on my iPhone 11 pro.
Tommy Botello Photography Hey Tommy...just spoke to you via FB, but just to everyone knows...don’t use the SHEETS app. Access google sheets by using Safari if your on an iPad or iPhone. Go to sheets.google.com. :)
Do you know if it's possible to have the student names save as hyperlinks? Basically instead of using the search field to pull up the QR code possibly just clicking the student name. That would save some time I would think.
Great question. I'm sure it's an option. I'm not a Google Sheets expert. If you post this question on the google sheets forum (just google it), I'm sure you'll get some helpful replies. Best of luck!
Important to note that it does not work on RAW images. So if anyone tries to "Run Barcode Detection" on multiple files it will not work. My QR codes were taken with a phone so they were jpg but when selecting a whole team photos that include the JPG bar code photos, and the RAW images, there was an error. I needed to manually select just the bar code files, 'Run Barcode Detection" and only then run the "Metadate Propagation"
Everytime I try to run the barcode detection it tells me it's unable to run because it's from an unidentified developer, but doesn't give me any options to approve access. Anyone know how to fix this?
Looks like this has finally broke after many years of reliable use. We have many staff members who use this and it seems to work for anyone who has already installed the plugin but not for any new users. I'm afraid to upgrade my LrC. If anyone can find a solution for this we will happily pay you.

@@RobSigler I just wanted to share with you my solution of doing this same task. It's by no means as good a video as yours and I'd need to go into more detail about how to quickly add people to your private facial recognition database, but I hope it gives an idea of how simple it can be to rename these images in bulk based on who is in them: ruclips.net/video/S245HRl7EBg/видео.html
