EXIF tag used as 'Description'

What EXIF tag does iPhoto 09 use as description when I import JPGs? With iPhoto 08 it worked when I set the 'Object Name' before importing but since I upgraded to 09 that does no longer work
I can still see the description for photos I imported when I still had 08, all that I imported with 09 have no description set.
Any ideas?

Added the tags using exiftool, below are all the tags set on my test.jpg file:

Reading EXIF Tag Attributes

Image FIles have Properties like Width, Height, Duration, Bit Rate, Date Created, Date Modified, Date Picture Taken etc.
I need to read these attributes ( EXIF Tag ) of these Image Files before uploading them and storing them separately in the SAP system. Does anyone know how this can be achieved thro ABAP please
Thanx in adavance

I doubt you'll find something like that in ABAP. If I were you, I would try to execute a command-line third-party application from ABAP.
You can use for instance [ExifTool|http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/]. I use it to work on my personal photo collections and works very well reading exif tags information, and can be used in both Linux and Windows, in case you need to save it within the Application Server.
Cheers,

Lightroom version number in Exif tag "Software"

Since today I'm using "Lightroom 5.3 RC for Windows". When I export to jpg the Exif meta data contain a Exif tag "Software", the value is "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.0 (Windows)". Why doesn't this tag show the version number "5.3" (or "5.3 RC")?
This behaviour has been at all prior Lightroom versions I know.
Kind regards,
Eckhard

I could verify, the bug has been fixed in the final 5.3 version. Thanks!

Display format for Exif Tag: ExposureTime

Hello,
I'm a user of Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0, in which the image editor component displays "File Info" (Exif and XMP information) embedded in the image file using the Adobe Photoshop Information Panels, which are XMP files (
DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://ns.adobe.com/custompanels/1.0").
Unfortunately, my camera embeds the Exif tag
ExposureTime instead of the Exif tag
ShutterSpeedValue.
In the camera1.txt XMP panel file, the ShutterSpeedValue field is defined as (the Adobe Forum Web UI will break the formatting)
static_text(name: '$$$/AWS/FileInfoLib/Panels/Camera1/ShutterSpeed=Shutter Speed:', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);
edit_number(format: apex_shutterspeed, precision: 2, format_addin: '$$$/AWS/FileInfoLib/Panels/Camera1/ShutterSpeedFormat=^0 sec',locked: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'exif', xmp_namespace: 'http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/', xmp_path: 'ShutterSpeedValue');
I changed this to:
static_text(name: '$$$/AWS/FileInfoLib/Panels/Camera1/ShutterSpeed=Shutter Speed:', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);
edit_number(format: decimal, precision: 4, format_addin: '$$$/AWS/FileInfoLib/Panels/Camera1/ShutterSpeedFormat=^0 sec',locked: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'exif', xmp_namespace: 'http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/', xmp_path: 'ExposureTime');
in order to display the correct Exif tag.
But how can I display the usual reciprocal shutter speed format ("1/160th sec") instead of the decimal format ("0.0063 sec")?
Any help much appreciated!

Don't know about the display format problem ... but there seems to be another quirk. Obviously you are confusing shutter speed with shutter speed value. These are two different things. The shutter speed value is the inverted base-two logarithm of the shutter speed in seconds. Example: shutter speed = 1/128 s --> shutter speed value = 7.
By the way, there's a similar difference between aperture and aperture value; the latter is twice the base-two logarithm of the f-stop number. Example: aperture = f/8 --> aperture value = 6.

EXIF Tag problem / unknown lens

Hi everyone,
I imported a few raw files in lightroom 3.4.1 (mac version, but this is irrelevant), all of them are from Sony cameras and different lenses.
From the command line, exiftool always reports the correct camera model/lens, but lightroom often does not.
From the exiftool documentation, it seems that Sony has a specific EXIF tag for the lens model, called "LensID".
However when LR generates the xmp, it does write some lens information in it, but I cannot understand where it reads from.
For example, I run a sample query on a raw file, which LR correctly identifies, asking all possible lens-related fields:
exiftool -Lens -LensID -LensModel -LensType -LensMake -LensSerialNumber _DSC0350.ARW
Lens ID                         : Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
Lens Type                     : Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
and in the corresponding xmp file I have:
<aux:Lens>DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA</aux:Lens>
<aux:LensID>46</aux:LensID>
and if I query directly the xmp file (which exiftool can do):
exiftool -Lens -LensID -LensModel -LensType -LensMake -LensSerialNumber _DSC0350.xmp
Lens                            : DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
Lens ID                        : Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
So, the LR-generated "Lens" field in xmp is a *different* string.
If I repeat the same procedure on some different raw files (from different sony cameras), I get different results: most times the xmp contains no lens field, and LR says "unknown lens", even if the ARW does contain the same information shown above.
If I manually fix the xmp with exiftool and I force LR to reload metadata from files, then I get the lens identified.
Is it possible to fix this situation somehow?

In my opinion, it is not possible to get a reliable lens identification with Sony/Minolta cameras unless you have a lens lookup list which fits your actual lens collection. So that means that you either have to buy lenses which fits the lookup list in your identification tool, or use an identification tool which allows you to modify the lookup list. The latter option excludes using Lightroom for lens identification, as far as I know. I don't know about exiftool.
Old Minolta IDs have been reused by Sony when they released similar lenses, which I guess is acceptable but can result in Sony lenses being recognized as Minolta or vice versa. Even worse is that third party lens makers have released a lot of lenses where they use a more or less random ID from the Minolta lenses.
Here is an example of lenses using ID 25611:
Minolta AF 75-300mm F4.5-5.6
Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DL Macro
Sigma AF 300mm F4 APO Macro
Sigma AF 500mm F4.5 APO
Sigma AF 170-500mm F5-6.3 APO Asph
Tokina AT-X AF 300mm F4
Tokina AT-X AF 400mm F5.6 SD
Tokina AF 730 II 75-300mm F4.5-5.6
Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO Macro
Sigma AF 500mm F7.2 APO
(And now I just discovered that this list is incomplete, since the exiftool link posted by ixtab alos lists an ID 25611 Sigma 800 mm which is not in my list.)
To some extent, the correct lens can be picked from the list if combining ID, max. aperture and focal length from the EXIF. If ID is 25611, max. aperture is 4.5, and focal length is 500, it can only be a Sigma AF 500mm F4.5 APO.
But if ID is 25611, max. aperture is 5.6, and focal length is 300, there are actually 4-5 different lenses which match. With a little luck you only own one of those lenses and can give that lens the highest priority in the lookup list. That is why it is so important to be able to modify the lookup list.
I use a command line tool called alphalensinfo which does just that: Uses the combination of ID, max. aperture and focal length and allows you to modify the lookup list. The information is written into an .xmp file which is imported with the image into Lightroom.
I know that exiftool can do something similar, as stated earlier in the thread, but I have no experience with using it for this purpose (even though I actually do use exiftool in the same batch process to rectify the Orientation tag of the photos).

solved by myself.
also if there's port 8084 configured on server properties, jboss start using 8080 (maybe i've done some error while registering jboss, i dunno but i'm a newbye of eclipse). So changing port to 8080 in server properties for jboss solve the problem.

Any easy way to get EXIF info into the Description?

I'd like to use the Share feature in iPhoto '11 to ... well, share a bunch of photos, including their EXIF info in the Description. Out of the box it looks like the only way to do that is to hand-enter all that data, which is a PITA. Anyone know of an iPhoto plugin or other way to automate getting at least some of the EXIF data into the Description field?

I would have bet a great deal of money you'd go on to question why I was sharing on Facebook instead of elsewhere, even though that's wholly irrelevant to my question. How does my "explaining" it help answer my question?
For those not ignoring me and instead actually interested in being helpful rather than boosting their post count, the reason I'm sharing on Facebook is because that is where the group is based with whom I'm sharing the photos. The EXIF data isn't critical, just helpful. I'm not trying to share full-resolution photos for people to download and print but rather sample photos with various lenses and configurations to give a general idea about what said lenses or configurations do for the photo, and providing the EXIF info is helpful. Right now I'm entering it into the Description field manually, but given that the data is right there I was hoping someone else would have also seen this need and created a solution.
Anyone?

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page

You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

Bookmarks sync erase new tags, labels and description on former synchronized bookmarks

hello,
on firefox 32.0.3
bookmarks synchronisation erase recent tags, labels and description during the sync.
this happen on already sync bookmarks on which we add some tags, labels and description, but not on new ones.
no error message when logging or unlogging.
thanks in advance
best regards

Hi ebntv,
Thank you for your question, I understand that after a recent sync to your sync account that there are Recent Tags, descriptions and labels missing. However it is only the older Bookmarks that are affected.
I have attached two screenshots to clarify to make sure I understand the feature that is affected:
# The first has the default recent tags and list of all tags.
# the second is an older bookmark visited 32 times that has all of the details after a sync.(However it never had a description or keyword)
Which information is missing exactly?

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand.

Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested.

How to remove tag using filter

I want to use a filter to remove tags already on emails. I can add tags using a filter but cannot see how to remove tag using filter.

The FiltaQuilla add-on provides a "remove tag" option.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filtaquilla/
http://www.ramsden.org.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
But, out of interest, what's the use case for removing tags by filter? Tags are normally used to facilitate or prompt human intervention and I don't immediately see the value of clearing a tag in a filter. Why tag if a filter will be dealing with it anyway?

Is it possible to find the meta tags used in a different website?

I have a potential client that wants to know the meta tags used in a different site from his own. Is that possible?

View page source in browser. FYI: Major search engines don't pay attention to Meta keywords. So I don't think there's much to be gained from this. What matters most is the actual page content.

How can I use FK description in a BC4J data query component?

Hi all,
I am facing the following problem.
Although I use renderers in the DataEdit component for displaying the descriptions of the FKs this is not useful for the BC4J data query components.
How can I get the same functionality as in the dataEdit components?
Thanks in advance,

Anfortunately,
This is not the same when I have a DataQuery component.
The question now becomes as following:
