LR 1.3 Export of NEFs to JPEG Loses EXIF Data

When I use Lightroom 1.3 to export Nikon RAW (NEF) image files to a new directory as JPEGs, all of the camera EXIF data is missing in the exported JPEGs created by Lightroom.
In my Lightroom Catalog Settings, every option is checked on the Metadata panel (Include Develop Settings inside Metadata in JPEG...., Automatically write changes into XMP, and all Metadata browser categories).
On the Lightroom Export dialog, File Settings Format is set to JPEG, and Minimize Embedded Metadata is not checked.
My images files are from a Nikon D200.
I run on Windows XP SP2.
Any suggestions, or is this a bug?

What are you using to look at the metadata? If you do not check minimize metadata I always get everything written. Some programs cannot see the metadata though.
>In my Lightroom Catalog Settings, every option is checked on the Metadata panel (Include Develop Settings inside Metadata in JPEG...., Automatically write changes into XMP, and all Metadata browser categories).
This is irrelevant. For the exported jpeg, the only thing that matters is the export dialog. Also you should generally NOT enable automatically writing XMP data as it will slow down lightroom considerably (see the FAQ and the sticky threads).

  • Export of RAW files loses EXIF data

    I am having a problem when I export files out of the PSE Organizer from RAW format to JPG that I am losing EXIF data on the resulting JPG file.
    I am using PSE 6 on Windows Vista and primarily manage my images in RAW format (Nikon D300 NEF) within the Organizer. I am using the latest Adobe Camera RAW plugin ver 5.1 but I have tried this with the last three Camera RAW plugin versions without any difference.
    I typically need to get the RAW NEF images into JPG format to post them to my blog so I normally select several NEF files at once within the Organizer then CTRL-E (or File, Export, As New Files), select JPEG, then Export.
    The resulting JPG file has no EXIF data for the camera (e.g. Camera make, model, f-stop, exposure, etc) that was on the original NEF file. I am determining this by right-click, Properties, Details on the file within Windows explorer.
    Other tests I have done to diagnose this are:
    1. Opening an NEF file in Full Edit mode from the Organizer then doing a File, Save As (JPEG), the missing EXIF data *does* get saved properly. The problem with this approach is that it is not suitable to export hundreds of NEF files.
    2. I downloaded a trial version of PSE 7 and it behaves identically to PSE6 in this test.
    3. I downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 2 and the export feature works properly in this test.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    My observations of what is happening is exactly what you are seeing with one exception about the XMP update. <br /><br />My reply that I posted about seeing the XMP file being updated was based on the observation that when I did a File > Write Keyword Tag the time and date changed on the XMP file as seen with Windows Explorer. I also looked inside the XMP file with a text editor and saw the updated comments and tags inside. See this section of the XMP file that shows the comments and tags:<br /><br />------------<br /><rdf:Description rdf:about=""<br />    xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"><br />   <dc:creator><br />    <rdf:Seq><br />     <rdf:li>Baden Smith</rdf:li><br />    </rdf:Seq><br />   </dc:creator><br />   <dc:rights><br />    <rdf:Alt><br />     <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">Copyright - Baden Smith - All Rights Reserved</rdf:li><br />    </rdf:Alt><br />   </dc:rights><br />   <dc:description><br />    <rdf:Alt><br />     <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">Fishing boats sailing by our balcony at dawn in Zanzibar</rdf:li><br />    </rdf:Alt><br />   </dc:description><br />   <dc:subject><br />    <rdf:Bag><br />     <rdf:li>Africa</rdf:li><br />    </rdf:Bag><br />   </dc:subject><br />  </rdf:Description><br />------------<br /><br />My original question posted was about the export to JPG and not seeing the camera EXIF info being exported.

  • IPhoto '08 loses exif data when exporting RAW to JPG

    I'm using a Canon 40D shooting only RAW. I just recently noticed that when I export to JPG, iPhoto loses quite a bit of important EXIF data, including, aperture info.
    Is this a known issue, or is it something unique to my system?

    I guess I misworded it. I understand that the info doesn't go away or come back. Either there's a problem in both Finder and flickr (I've uploaded the file to flickr.com) where neither finds the info in the jpeg or there's a problem in the way iPhoto writes the EXIF data to the file.
    Today, I downloaded EXIFViewer for an alternate look at the EXIF fields and the aperture data is there according to EXIFViewer. So, now I think the bug may be with flickr. Can't really call it a bug in Finder, since the expected functionality for finder is not to get "aperture info", but "More info."
    In any case, these are the fields in the More Info:
    |RAW:Name_|_RAW:Value_|_JPEG:Name_|_JPEG:Value|
    |Dimensions|2586x3892|Dimensions|2586x3892|
    |Device make|Canon|Device make|Canon|
    |Color space|RGB|Color space|RGB|
    |Profile name|Adobe RGB (1998)|Profile name|Generic RGB Profile|
    |Focal Length|44|Focal Length|44|
    |Alpha channel|0|Alpha channel|0|
    |Red eye|0|Red eye|0|
    |FNumber|4|
    |Exposure|1/60|Exposure|1/60|
    |Last opened|Monday, May 19, 2008 6:31 PM|Last opened|Today, 9:31am|
    And the meta info on flickr is here:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/carloscervantes/2536040124/meta/
    Again, no aperture data in either flickr or Finder.

  • Exporting RAW to JPEG, losing EXIF data

    Hi,
    When I am exporting a RAW image from Aperture to a JPEG image I'm losing metadata. Specifically: Lens, Serial #, Flash exposure and focus data. I always select 100% JPEG with the "include metadata" checked.
    Any suggestions or is this a bug?

    I know this is an old thread, but I have the same problem and am hoping perhaps to get some new feedback.  I also have used all the same settings,
    the best quality settings that I can do on export, but the quality I get when I convert to JPG is very poor. I do save at 100% because I want to send some of my images to stock agencies that want JPGs but at the very best possible quality.  I have experimented in changing the resolution to 300, resizing to 18MP (which is the native size from my camera (Canon 7D), leaving the resizing box unchecked, and tried all all levels and types of sharpening, and none of these settings makes any improvement.  I honestly do not think this is an issue of color calibration.  The images that I get when I convert from RAW to JPG are are very poor quality, but not so much noise as they appear pixelated.  I am going to try to attach a screen capture of a RAW image and a JPG that has been converted.  Realize there is a bit of loss of quality in both of these images as they were done by the print screen function, then saved as BMP and then JPG..But doing it this way actually produced a much better quality image than exporting the RAW file to JPG in LR3. Both of these images were saved at 100%
    The image at the top is a small segment of the RAW capture at 100% and the bottom one is a segment of the same area of the exported JPG at 100% Note the writing and how it is very pixelated. I think you would agree that it is quite a deterioration in quality.  Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I'm sorry that the images do not appear to be showing up on the thread.  They do show up when I uploaded them and when I edit them, but I don't see them once I do the update.  Any suggestions there would be appreciated as well.
    Thanks.

  • How to export and NOT include metadata or EXIF data

    When I export versions, each photo has the metadata included. How do I export without any information in the photo?
    Any exported photo I do and you open it in EXIF Viewer, all the camera info, exposure etc… is all there.
    I export to JPG from NEF D300 files.

    In the "Export Presets" you can de-select the option "Include metadata" at the top of the window. If you want to then you could create a new preset that does not include your metadata, so that you have one with and one without metadata.
    When you export your files then be sure to select the correct preset.

  • EXIF data lost when edited and exported to Picasa web

    I use iPhoto 6. If a geotagged photo is scaled and exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data are preserved and recognized by Picasa web. But if the same photo is edited (crop, contrast...) and then exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data don't appear. I've tried the export operation manually and through the plugin, but it always happens the same. How to avoid this? Does it happen too with iPhoto 8? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes and no. With iPhoto 8 you can export with an option to include the keywords, titles and comments. But I don't know if geotags are included. Ask in the iPhoto 8 forum as I know geotags have been discussed there. Do a search in that forum for "geotags" or similar.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • LR3.2 export - no more EXIF data on JPEG

    Hello everybody,
    trying to get some help...
    My setup: iMac 24 running OSX 10.5.8 and Mac Book Pro 15" same OSX.
    In both I'm using LR 2 for years, and couple of weeks ago I purchased the LR3.2
    My photographs are in my galleries in Smugmug.
    The images I want from my Nikon D 700 (NEF files) or other cameras I uploading for years in the Smugmug account
    by sending initially the images in a reduced size and JPEG format to my desktop, and upload from there .
    In the Smugmug clicking on the Info button anybody can see the EXIF data.
    Now after the upgrade to the LR3.2 I got a problem: from the MBP everything is fine like before.
    From the iMac - that is my main computer - the JPEG files will not carry the EXIF data. Nothing.
    I did check the settings on the iMac and MBP, and are absolutely identical. However something might be different.
    I wrote to Adobe, and after two weeks, 5 mails, and a few hours on the phone  twice (shared the screen, so they can see it in life demo , what is going on - otherwise is hard to believe it...) nobody knows the solution.
    I called Apple , and because is not their software, they couldn't help.
    Tried the Delete and Download again and reinstall stuff, but is still doing the same thing.
    Anybody has the something like this?
    Any hints?
    Thanks in advance
    Joe

    Well the files are reduced to 1200 pixels in longer side in LR. But would be a very strange thing to be a problem because the image is reduced to any specific size.
    And as I said: the settings are identical in LR2 and LR3 and in both computers (iMac and MBP) .
    The two LR2 is exporting with EXIF and the LR3 on MBP does. The LR3 in iMac is the only stripping the info.

  • Import from HD folder with NEF and JPEG files-Can't see JPEG files

    I am using Aperture 2 and I am trying to import from an external HD folder of images, with both NEF and JPEG files of the same photo. Using the import function, the import pane only shows the NEF file, not the JPEG file. Is there a setting somewhere that will allow me to see the JPEG file also, so I can import only the JPEG. (note: if I move the JPEG to a different folder away from the NEF file, then the JPEG appears and I can import it.)
    PS I am importing only the JPEG because I have a Nikon D60, which is still un-supported.

    You could import both, select all images afterwards, select 'Create version from master jpeg'(alt-J), unstack all (shift-cmd-K while everything is still selected), sort by file size to separate the raws from the jpegs, and delete the raws.
    Or run the raws through Adobe's DNG converter (which in its newest version, 4.4, supports the D60) and use the DNG baseline support until Apple (or rather Aperture) supports the D60.

  • Exported JPEG doesn't contain all EXIF data

    Hi,
    I'm using Übermind's Maperture plugin to add geotag information my pictures. While this works perfectly, I found out that exported geotagged pictures to JPEG missed the coordinates and possibly other EXIF fields. Is there a fix for this ?
    Thanks
    Matthieu

    Here is the explanation from Ubermind, I emailed Apple. Hopefully they will cooperate.
    "Why don't some images I have geotagged with Maperture export the GPS metadata with the image?
    When embedding GPS metadata (EXIF) via Maperture in Aperture to either master or version images, the metadata is saved directly to the image file and displays in the metadata browser. When exporting master images, this newly embedded EXIF GPS information is also exported with the master. When exporting versions of any image with newly embedded GPS (EXIF) metadata, it is stripped away on export of the version. We are speculating that since Maperture edits the image after capture, it is out of sync with the Aperture database of information acquired at import. It seems the issue actually stems from the fact Aperture does not specifically allow editing of the EXIF metadata in the UI, but Maperture must edit this information in the background via EXIFtool. So Aperture is not registering this change in metadata when the version gets exported from the library."

  • Is there a way to export a slideshow to JPEG without a background?

    Hi, I'm using LR4 to do a basic sign with many text overlays on a background image in Slideshow.  I would like to export this image as a jpeg and then print it as an 8x10 to put in a frame.  However, when I export the slideshow to jpeg or PDF, I'm getting the black background behind the image.  I have nothing checked in the "Backdrop" menu on the right hand side.  Is there any way to remove this background in slideshow?  Is there a way to do this in another module instead?  I want more than just a watermark so didn't think Print was the right way to go.
    Example of my print preview below with black background.

    Looks like you won't need to use the Develop module–Follow the below instructions
    1) An 8" x 10"  image with 300 ppi resolution = 2400 x 3000 pixel dimensions. Make sure your background image has at least that resolution or higher!
    2) Next from inside the LR Slideshow module drag the 'Top' guide all the up so the image fills the frame vertically:
    3) Next go to 'Export JPEG Slideshow' and manually enter Width = 2400 & Height= 3000. The exported Slideshow JPEG should be perfectly cropped and sized providing the original background image is 8x10 aspect ratio:
    4) You are ready to make your print!
    P.S. Please excuse my typo showing 3000 x 24000 it should read 3000 x 2400!

  • Why are my files exporting so small? (15 mb RAW files exporting to 2 mb JPEG)

    I'm trying to export RAW files into JPEG for a client and haven't experienced this issue before. I shot on large format RAW and original files are around 15 mb. When I export them in lightroom they end up around 2 mb. I know that I can still print large files from this but I'm worried that my (wedding) clients will see the file size and worry about enlarging prints, etc. Is there a way to export them so they are larger? I'm currently exporting at 100%. Help please!

    File size really doesn't provide useful information. And since JPG is compression, I see nothing unusual about a 15mb original RAW exported as 2mb JPG. If you are worried about file size, then you are not looking at the right numbers.
    You need to look at number of pixels in the original image, and number of pixels in the exported file. Anything else will lead you in the wrong direction.
