Lost metadata in file after attempt to Save RAW As JPG in PS CS3

Someone in other place in this Forum advised me that this will be probably more appropriate place to ask these questions, so I will give it a go. Below is a copy of my post on PS Windows thread (well, two posts really edited into one):
Hi,
I have just found out that after I open RAW pictures from my Canon 5D (but same happens with pictures from Canon 10D) in PS and than try to save them as JPGs, I loose majority of my metadata from the files (after right click on filename in. I can still Windows Explorer and clicking Properties or simply adding additional columns in Win XP Windows Explorer detailed view.
So same picture, without any editing at all, just opened as RAW file (which it is a CR2 or CRW file in Canons), and then saved as JPG, suddenly does not show the date of picture taken, focal length or exposure time are all gone. Does not matter if I try Properties in Win Explorer or say Properties in MS Office Picture Manager.
Was trying to look for any setting in PS that would set the ability to save or abandon saving of this type of information in JPG file but could not find anything of this kind.
What is interesting I went back to my pictures I have saved from RAW to JPG using same PS years ago, and I this was not a problem. Everything was saving OK.
So in summary:
1. This would not be a problem related to camera (it is unlikely that same problem would occur on two different models at the same time - even though both are Canons)
2. It must be a way to force the Photoshop to do that, I f I was able to do it successfully, almost without knowing, before.
Therefore, I would think that either:
1. There is some set of defaults somewhere in PS that I have accidently turned off causing my PS not to save this metadata properly or in full, or
2. That it came as some kind of bug with some of the updates to PS CS3 that I was getting over last year from Adobe.
Has any one else encountered similar problem? If yes, what did you do to resolve this issue?
I will be very grateful for any help, as I am not a frequent user of Adobe Photoshop and may just not be very familiar with the part that regulates that type of issues.
And I do not use the Save for Web option.
I just used (in PS CS3 running on Win XP Professional with SP3) the Save As from File menu.
What is also strange is that if I use File - Open command and get the first window with Open dialog box, where you have some basic options for opening/converting RAW format pictures (this window does not come up when I open JPG files) and I use existing there button to Save (which does not actually allow to do any editing of the picture before such way of saving) all Camera Properties, or that metadata, is actually saved into the newly created JPG quite correctly.
However if I use button Open in that conversion dialog box, and than save already opened RAW file as JPG, the majority of that data is gone (date picture taken, exposure time, aperture, focal length, exposure compensation steps etc).
I can see that RAW file has all this in the sections called EXIF and XMP (under File - File Information) but Save As does not add this info in the JPG files for some reason.

No, not really, because I ma not sure what it is for.

  • XMP metadata lost from PNG files after saveing

    Hello,
    i am using Photosop CS3 SDK. through my plug-in I put some metadata in the file using XMP SDK 4.4.2.
    For PNG files, if the file is modified and saved, all the XMP metadata is lost from the file.
    The following steps are being done.
    1. Put some metadata in PNG file using SXMPMeta::SetProperty and SXMPMeta::AppendArrayItem
    2. modify the file (changed brightness, contrast, flattened the image).
    3. Save this file.
    After saving all the xmp metadata is lost from the PNG file. This works for all other formats.
    What can be wrong that I am doing?
    Is there any other way to put XMP metadata in file?
    Thanks,
    Hitesh

    That's probably because PNG doesn't save or read XMP metadata.
    There really aren't standards for metadata in PNG. (though a few products have tried adding it in ad-hoc ways, without documenting their efforts)

  • Lost some Note files after upgrade to iOS 5

    After I finally succeeded updating to iOS 5, I found some of my Note files are missing
    My update failed the fisrt time with "Unable to restore iPhone" error. I rebooted my Mac and tried the update again. It went the again the "Prepare...", "Sync for restore" again and this time the update worked. But I lost many Note files.
    I wish the backup process is more trouble proof, maybe entirely separate for the update step in which I can for certain save the content of my iPhone.  Then after the update, restore the backup.

    Already tried re-syncing and rebooting both devices with no apparent effect.

  • Missing original files after attempting to move all files to external drive

    After reading numerous threads regarding iTunes not being able to locate the original file after moving it to an external drive, I'm in a slightly different boat since most seem to be able to "locate" their original music. It appears the order in which this is done is particularly important and I suspect this is where I screwed up. I posted this earlier in response to another thread mistakenly under iTunes for Windows, but now I'm realizing where I may have made my main mistake.
    Over a year ago, I had moved my iTunes folder from my Music folder from the HD to my 250 GB external drive. I did not rename it. Kept it the same name. Went into the Advanced folder in iTunes Preferences and chose to use the external drive as my source for music and everything worked fine. Don't remember consolidating and it appears based on the way that I did it, I may not have had to.
    Recently I found a folder in my Music folder on the Mac's HD titled iTunes and assumed this was holding the original files and that my iTunes wasn't actually running from my external drive at all, but that it had been using the HD on the Mac the whole time (didn't realize that it kept a copy there). So, I took that file and moved it to the external drive. Not sure if I "replaced" it or "deleted" the old one on the external drive (it was late and it was a few days ago). Now I'm realizing that I probably took out my true original files as now all that is there is about 16 music files under "iTunes Music". I tried consolidating and this didn't make any difference since it just consolidated all of the same files. If I open iTunes and hold the option key down that doesn't make any difference either since it still can't find the originals.
    Now that I realize what I've done, thinking back I should have been more surprised that it was only 1.3GB of music when really my library is closer to 40 GB. I've just lost a lot of music. Is there anyway to retrieve the rest of the original library or am I cooked?
    Many thanks for any help.

  • HT201272 I lost all my files after dowloading Icloud and updating Itunes on 24 September 13.  having reloaded the computer and and files from an Emergency Backup folder I can no longer see My Library in Itunes or in Itunes store, and my ipod and ipad aren

    can anyone help with retrieving My Library in Itunes and Itunes store - having updated Itunes and Icloud on 24 September 13, my computer failed and I lost all my files which were eventually backed up to an Emergency Backup.  my computer is now working again and I have down loaded Itunes and transferred all the files from my Emergency Backup.  Non of the music went back into Itunes, so I had to find these files and manually moved them to Itunes.  The music is now in Itunes, but I no longer have the folder named My Library, which I think is the reason my Ipad, ipod no longer sync any additional music I have added to Itunes. Does anyone know how to rectify this please.
    Many thanks.  Crusey

    iTunes expects files and folders to be in very specific locations.  When you start iTunes it looks for a file called library.itl which is in the iTunes folder.  It then uses all the references in that file which tell it where all your media files are located to build up the view you normally see.  Probably you moved the library file so iTunes cannot find it and it will make a default one which is empty.  When you plug in your iPod it isn't recognizing the library since it is not the same one to which you synced last.
    Simply put, you need to undo all your file moves.  Not as eaily done as stated but since I cannot quite see from here exactly what you spent an hour doing last night it will be up to you.  Did you make a backup before doing all this?

  • Since latest Firefox automatic update, any downloaded jpg is saved as a firefox file and I cannot save as a jpg. Why?? Help please!!

    Since the latest FF automatic update - any jpg I send to myself I cannot save as a jpg. This is so frustrating. I use my camera phone to take shots of our library activities and then to make newsletters, website updates etc. Just started this week. Today is the first day I noticed this problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today 7/28/10

    You can rename the files and give them a .jpg file extension.
    You can force that while saving the file if you add quotes around the name: "image.jpg"

  • After installing cs4, camera raw no longer available in cs3

    New computer, mac pro 2.8, 10.6.6. On previous and other macs I work on, I'm able to open jpgs and tifs in camera raw with the cs3 or cs4 bridge. Have current versions of camera raw for each app, but cs3 bridge no longer has options for opening jpgs, tifs, or dng files in camera raw. I still have prefs for camera raw in cs3 bridge. Do I need to build new cache for cs3 alone? Have newest DNG converter, would this have screwed up my cs 3? Any ideas?

    Actually fixed major problem by purging cache, except dng files that I could open before in cs3, now only recognizable in cs4. Things could be worse, I suppose.

  • HELP I seem to have lost all my files after turning on Filevault

    Hey all,
    im completly new to all things Mac, everything has been great so far but now i seem to have lost everything.
    I turned on Filevault protection then shutdown my Macbook, came back to it a couple of hours later and now all of my files, itunes music files have gone, all of the settings and preferences seem to be back to the factory settings, and well everything has dissapeared?!! any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I have no idea how Apple would handle this. I would hope they would tell you to go into an Apple store and have someone there look at it and fix it. That would be very good advice. Trying to fix a problem like this over the phone would be really hard.
    Clearly, your system is no longer mounting your sparseimage file the way it should. The good part of this is that your files are still relatively safe inside that sparseimage. I would not try to turn filevault on or off again. That could be dangerous. Your goal now is backup.
    In the terminal, you can type "open /Users/.stuartcampbell/stuartcampbell.sparseimage" to mount that disk image as a new volume. Hopefully, you can log in as "stuart campbell" and do this. That would be really good. If you can, log in as "stuart campbell", open that disk image, and copy all the files you find into a new folder named "saved files" under the "/Users/Shared" folder. You want to get your files out of that sparseimage and into the real file system.
    Once you get your files out, you can try to turn filevault off again. My hunch is that FileVault is already off. I think your system has created a new home directory for you named "stuart campbell1" because the old one was corrupted. If this is so, you can safely copy all your files from the sparse image into this new account, overwriting anything you already have. (Just make real sure that your current home directory really is just blank data!!!). At this point, you should be running again, with your home directory being named "stuart campbell1".
    If all this is true, try the following. Rename that old "/Users/stuart campbell" folder to /Users/stuart campbell.old". You can run NetInfo, go into "Users", and change your home directory back to "stuart campbell". Then, before doing anything else, rename "stuart campbell1" back to "stuart campbell". Save your NetInfo changes, quit, logout, cross your fingers, and log back in.
    I realize this is very complicated and more than you really want to do. I don't see any way around it. It is very difficult to know exactly what state your system is in and exactly what is going to work and what won't. A trip to the Apple Store or a similar place might be a good idea. I say might because there is no guarantee they can fix it either. There are still way too many steps that say "If this works" and "try this".
    There are some key things to remember and do in any case. Try to open that disk image and get your files out.
    Don't fiddle with any account security settings until your files are out of there.
    Once your data is secure (or rather - in a safe place), you can feel free to fiddle with account settings and swap out those directories to get back to a good state. I can assure you that it will take a bit of fiddling and may not work at all. Just get your files out there and we can get you up to speed again after that.

  • I lost my Indesign files after deinstalling, any way to get them back?

    I deinstalled Indesign this morning and it removed everything, including the files I had created. What the hell? Did it just move them somewhere else? Are they lost? I put more then 3 weeks of work in there. Thankful for a quick and helpful answer!!!

    Uninstalling the application will not delete your files.
    They should be whereever you saved them.
    That said, for future use, you might want to give this a read:

  • DISASTER!  Lost a .java file after a Project Rebuild

    Is there a way to get it back?  It was the Component.java file.  When I open the component and go to "Implement" it says the file is gone.
    Is this file stored in the ear file that's uploaded to the server?  How can I retrieve my last deployed application?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Hi,
    The latest deployed project and its corresponding files you can get it from
    C:\Documents and Settings\youraccount\Documents\SAP\workspace\yourproject
    ( in case after few chnges if you say rebuild project older project will be modified with latest changes.My suggestion you can have timely back up in to onther workspace i mean another directory/folder so that you can retrive/import your older projects to NWDS).
    Apart from this i am not finding any other solution
    Hope it helped you

  • Bluetooth lost on PowerPC G5 after attempt to connect with iPhone 4s

    I became the proud owner of a new iPhone 4s. All went well and things connected until I went to try and connect via bluetooth. After going through the usual pairing sequence I now find that my bluetooth is greyed out and unable to be switched on.
    Bluetooth has always been something which has functioned well for me and I haven't had to work to hard to make use of it. This is a bit of a hassle.
    Anyone any suggestions? I have also tried to do the same conection with my G4 laptop but the iPhone does not like this and says it is not a supported device.
    If there is anyone with any expertise in Bluetooth matters than can advise then I'd really appreciate some inputs.

    I know that this one has no doubt slid down the list but I was wondering if anyone can cast a fresh eye over this for me. Its very frustrating.
    Is there any way that I can get the bluetooth connectivity working again on my machine.
    When I go to preferences the 'On' and 'Discoverable' are both greyed out and can't be selected.
    Is there an issue aside from the way this occurred which can be causing this?
    Any inputs would be much appreciated.

  • Can't open iMovie files after they are save to my external firewire HD

    I am using a MacBook Pro for iMovie. Because I was running out of HD space, I started saving files onto my external Maxtor 250GB HD. The files are saving fine, but when I try to open the files through the external HD, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    Hi Pancho 1 - you should have no trouble working on
    an imovie project that is stored on your external
    drive. The problem could be a wrongly-formatted
    drive. It should be Mac OS Extended, not formatted
    for a PC. You can check this by Control-Clicking its
    icon, and then clicking 'Get Info'.
    The format can be changed in Disk Utility, but note
    that you must firstly store important files
    elsewhere, as re-formatting erases the disk.

  • Lost all iPhone files after iMac restore

    Hi there,
    A family member when trying to back their iPhone onto our old iMac, used the iTunes 'Restore' function which wiped the iPhone. 
    I assume the files should be somewhere on the iMac.  It is an old G5 running OS/X 10.5.8.  The iPhone is a 4S running IOS 6.
    Any ideas if the photos, music and apps files can be found? 
    Many thanks,

    Thanks, this is what we now understand.  The issue seems to be some form of idiosynchrocy in the older Apple operating system.  Later uses of the same function provided a 'Backup First' option.  So it goes...

  • Lost LR3 developed files after upgrading LR4

    I purchased the upgrade to LR4 and installed it, however when I imported a folder it didn't carry over the developed files in lR3. Can anyone help walk me through how to do this?

    First a grain of caution: create a backup from your LR3-catalog in LR3, close Lightroom.
    No LR version is open.
    Start then from Explorer on Windows (or Finder on Mac) and locate your LR3-catalog, to open with LR4. Then it will tell you to upgrade. Wait a bit (for me with 90'000 images some 5 minutes), then you have LR4 open with the newly converted catalog.
    (Your LR3-catalog should stay untouched, but then you never know - better safe than sorry, that is why I advise for a last backup.)
    When you open Lightroom, you usually have already a catalog open. Then you could only "Import from Another catalog", which needs to be converted to LR4 before. Same is true if you have a LR4beta-catalog.
    Good luck,
    Cornelia
