GPS Altitude Not in Extended Photo Info or EXIF Dat ahwne exported

Hi,
I have my own website that uses a Goggle Maps plugin to read and show GPS info for photos I upload. When I use Places to capture that info the Altitude info is not stored either in iPhoto's database or in the EXIF info for the photo when exported. Is there anyway get this info stored in the database and phot when exported?
The Google Maps plugin on my site makes use of the Altitude details to show a more close up image depending on the altitude chosen. Without this info the site just shows a extremely high level world map with a pin showing in the country where the picture was taken. Not particularly useful. So I have to go and edit each file on my website and manually add this info. Which is very time consuming.

Jennec
iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
There is no provision in iPhoto to add altitude at this time - iPhoto should maintain the EXIF data that is imported - if it is not then I certainly would report that as a bug
When I show extended photo info in iPhoto for photos it shows the altitude - I presume it exports - will test later

IPhoto editing GPS 'Extended Photo Info'/ 'Location'

iPhoto 09 V8
Photos in the library without the GPS Data in the 'Extended Photo Info'/ 'Location' wish to manually update.
Also edit the GPS field.
How can I get access to this field?
Also, when importing 'new' photos is there a process to add the GPS Data at this time?

True, but I am a new Mac user, just had the machine a week. Just wanted to get going....new toy and all that
I plan to spend a few weeks using it, finding software etc, adding /installing apps etc and then when the new HDD's (3x 1TB WD Blacks) arrive, do a complete fresh install of OS and software I need.
What with different video/audio/Vinyl ripping/GPS and system apps, I have probably installed/uninstalled about 30 apps in the last few days. A fair bit of crap seems to be left in User Libraries when apps are removed. I though I had left software that leaves bits of itself all over the system when it is removed behind with Windows, but obviously not So once I find my way around a bit, I will be doing a clean OS re install once i find software I am happy with.
Was planning to create the iPhoto library, back it up re install Leopard and drag it back.
If I gotta do it again , then so be it....now to find some geotagging software that I like.
Photoshop Elements....that can edit metadata/EXIF tags in Windows at leastmaybe it will be the same in Mac?
Aperture? I have bought that, have not looked at it yet though.
Was expecting a much easier job of it. All the hype I have been hearing about Macs from mates made me thing theywere real easy to use, did not crash/freeze up etc. Mine has hung 4 times already, twice on shutdown, and also randomly when using iPhoto.

"Extended Photo Info" lost/invisible after migration to new Mac with 10.6.2

I just migrated my iPhoto library to my new Mac running OSX 10.6.2 from a Mac running OSX 10.3 I did this by copying the "Pictures/iPhoto Library" folder to an external drive. Today I tried to use "Show Extended Photo Info", and information appears to be lost? There is no Camera or Exposure information. I re-imported a photo from an old e-mail, and it does have the information! Do the Event/Location/Face features cause this to be deleted from my photos? I used these feature a lot before noticing anything was wrong.
Any ideas? Can I somehow check to see if the JPEG file still has the information? It is not too late to re-do the library import. I cannot live without the exposure information, as I like to play with my camera settings.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. After copying the library to the external HD did you open it directly with iPhoto? When iPhoto 09 converted that library to the latest version it would not have done anything to lose the EXIF data which is stored in the library's database files.
You didn't import that library into a new library did you? If you didn't then try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto 11 "Show Extended Photo Info" item under "Photos"

In my iPhoto 11, under Photos in the menu bar, the first item is "Adjust Date and Time".
I do NOT see "Show Extended Photo Info".
How do I make this menu item appear?

You should post in -> Forum : Installing and using iPhoto '11.
How do I make this menu item appear?
You don't.
Click the little white i at the lower right of the photo to see the photo info.

Brightness in Extended Photo info menu

Does anyone know what the numbers refer to in the Brightness line of the Extended Photo Info window?

Some photos misses some EXIF data

Hello,
I'm wondering why some of the photos on my iPhone are missing some EXIF information like the date when the photo was taken or the GPS data.
All the photos were taken with the default camera app and were copied to the Mac via iPhoto and Imagecapture. So what happened? Are the EXIF data really LOST?

I have this same issue. It seems that more photos are being recorded without time/date and camera info than with this info.
I hope someone can help us fix this issue asap!
Thanks!

When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost. What rational is behind this?

When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost.
What rational is behind this?

Thanks for your reply on this!
One issue seems to be with Foto Library app itself. When running an auto-correct there it looks like EXIF will be stripped more or less completely.
Second issue is in iPhoto app on iOS when working on RAW. When exporting to the roll the EXIF is modified in a way. It was keeping most of the EXIF in case of Canon 5D MKII that I tested today, but the EXIF data is definately changed, e.g. lens type is different because maybe some fields are ignored there. Also the images are silently scaled down by 50% which is kind of annoying.
The initial problem was observed with a Pentax K7 and I will need to reproduce the issue in this config I assume. Maybe tomorrow I can do this.

Extended photo info

The extended photo information suddenly only appears in abbreviated form. The exposure information no longer appears.

There is a +very subtle+ disclosure triangle to the left of each of those headings.

Very, very subtle.

Search extended photo info?

I have years of photos organized in iPhoto '09, and have been trying to find a way to do searches using the data included in the "extended photo data" with no luck. I need to separate photos by camera used, and can't figure this out. Any ideas, or would an upgrade to Aperture be in order?

Hi thomtom: I use iPhoto '08, so it may be slightly different, but try this. From the File menu > New Smart Album > From the resultant menu select "Camera Model" and then select the particular model of camera you wish. The pictures will then sort by the specific camera model.
Hope this helps

GPS info in EXIF data

I have read the threads regarding GPS data and Aperture. I understand how to insert GPS info in the raw files and then import that file into Aperture.
Is there a way to add GPS info (latitude and longitude) into an existing Aperture image or library without having to re-import the file? I don't want to do this for every image I have, but I would like to do it for my favorites that show up on my web site. I would prefer not to lose all of the adjustments for images that I have already slaved over.

Hello Kjell,
maybe you give gpsphotolinker a try. Before you
import your Fotos into Aperture you can manipulate
the exif with this app.

Thanks for the tip. However, I do not shoot jpeg images, and would like a solution that supported my RAW/Aperture workflow - hopefully letting me avoid having to export my entire library out and re-importing it in again after the work is done.
Ideally, I would like a solution that would enable to to update my Aperture library from time to time using location information from a set of .gpx files, and for that to work, I would need some piece of sw that let me read out exif date/time data and compare with the same data in .gpx files and write back appropriate data when a date/time match is found.
However - not sure if Aperture would allow me to write exif data into the library at present?

CS6 Bridge "Not Displaying Subject Distance Information in Exif Data"

In Bridge CS5 the "Subject Distance" information is displayed for Zoom lenses which report distance information, under the Camera Data (Exif) panel.
In Bridge CS6 either 64 or 32 bit, no "Subject Distance" information is displayed for the same files, which report this information under CS5 bridge.
I have checked that the "Subject Distance" is checked and turned on under the preferences section. Not sure if the data is either not being read or just not being displayed.

Thanks Ian,
Read Metadata from File isn't the answer since doing this obliterates everything that has been added to the metadata since the original import, but does add the Subject Distance. I'm using RAW (NEF) files without xmp sidecars. If I save to xmp and then Read Metadata from File, it works. I just hoped there might be a simpler way to get the Subject Distance into the catalogue. I also have many jpg images in my catalogue (before I started shooting raw) and the xmp solution can't be applied to those, although I could save the metadata to the jpg files (I don't really want to do that either). I originally started with a Nikon D50 and those images have Subject Distance in their Exif data, so the information is there for all my images, I just need an easy way to get it into the catalogue.

Editing with the iOS 8 Photos app strips EXIF data from photos.

The new iOS 8 Photos app has some nice editing features and extensions from other apps is a good idea, however any editing done strips out all of the EXIF data from the photo.

I have the same problem. It's awful; if you edit and upload georeferencing and other stuff is lost. Fail.
It didn't strip it when I edited in Snapseed and then saved back to the photo library.

IPhoto 11 "Show Extended Photo Info"

This selection, under "Photos" in the menu bar, is NOT THERE in my iPhoto 11.
My first selection is "Adjust Date and Time".
What is happening here?

All of that information is now in the Info Window. Click on the 'i' lower right.

About Extended Photo Info.

When I select a photo and and to look at the info it's all there EXCEPT under Exposure (what I'm really interested in) there's nothing. And that's so too with photos that have been on iPhoto for years and used to have that info. What's going on, please?

Sorry folks --- the answer is indicated in the More Like This list to the right. When one goes to Exposure there is actually an almost invisible triangle to the left of the word that one has to click. Duh.

Extended photo information

I am using a new camera. A Canon Powershot SX20 IS. I am using the iphoto application to bring photos from the camera to my computer. ( Not the Canon software)
After I have imported a photo, when I go to Extended Photo information, I get very limited information. For example I do not get ISO readings.
I was watching a presentation by another person today on Iphoto. She got much more information from the Extended Photo Information drop down menu? the information is useful in improving your photo shooting. It just wasn't there on my computer. It was there in my camera, but I erased the images after uploading them. Is there a way to access this information in iphoto? Or, do I have to use the Canon application to upload the information?
I usually transfer photos from Iphoto to Photo shop for editing.
Thank you.

with no information it is hard to say
just to be sure that you have done it correctly since you do not tell what you have done - select a photo and under the photos menu ==>show extended photo info - make sure that the sections you want are open - there is a VERY light open close triangle just to the left of the section name
