Missing Camera and Lens Metadata after iPhoto Import

I've noticed that the Photos for Mac app seems to have "lost" all of the Camera and Lens Metadata associated with each of my photos. Has this happened to anyone else?
No matter which photo I choose, the Info inspector window shows "No Camera Information" and "No Lens Information". I've confirmed that the Camera and Lens metadata is still present in the original iPhoto Library.
If I create a new iPhoto Library with just a dozen or so pictures and then choose that Library when launching Photos for Mac, by pressing the Option key while clicking the Icon, the photos are imported with the Metadata intact. Clearly something went wrong with the import of my much larger main iPhoto library. (The main library has over 100,000 photos in it.)
I'm wondering if there is some way to force Photos for Mac to re-index the Metadata. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael

I have the same problem.. no lens metadata
will rebuild library with alt-cmd-start-Photos help?

Missing camera and lens profiles in CS6 upgrade

I have just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 on OSX 10.7.5 and am running the latest software (ie CS6 13.05 and ACR 8.2.0.94). My old Canon 7D profiles are available in CS6 but I can't see any profiles for the latest cameras like the Canon 6D or Ricoh GR (among several others), which are meant to be supported. Is this a known bug and/or is there some fix?

I had lots of hassle installing CS6 the first time (ie installation error code U44M1P7 - tried lots of workarounds to no avail) so eventually deleted both the old CS5 and CS6 and did a fresh install of CS6. This worked fine and didn't appear to have any problems in then running all the latest software updates. However, the camera and lens profiles I was expecting to see in ACR and PS Lens Correction Filters just aren't there. I'm just using PS CS6.

Lightroom, 5.5, Mac version: lens metadata incomplete and/or inconsistent. Photos taken with the same camera and lens display the lens metadata differently in LR 5.5, but are the same in the original files

LR is putting different descriptions of the same lens, used with the same camera, in the metadata of photos taken on the same occasion.
For example:
The following two images were taken with the same camera and lens.
They were imported at the same time into LR by copying.
The only difference in treatment is that the first was an untouched out-of camera jpeg, the second had been flipped using Preview on the Mac.
The one that was flipped has a full description of the lens, the one that was untouched has an abbreviated description.
When you show the file in the Finder and read the metadata using Preview, the correct full lens description appears.
Why is LR displaying the metadata differently for these two files?

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

Lens Correction won't list my camera and lens

Why won't the Lens Correction filter recognize my camera and lens, which is shown in the metadata below the correction window? I had been using the venerable Canon 5D Mk II and now the Mk III. For images taken with the III it doesn't even list Canon in the Camera dropdown -- too new? Even with the II, I had to choose the camera manually and then choose the lens from a very tedious list, and had no indication if it was using the focal length in the case of a zoom, or the aperture.
I do strongly prefer to do this correction in Camera Raw or Lightroom, and realize it needs to be done on an uncropped image to be accurate. I'm probably missing something, but why even present it as an auto correction if it can't use the metadata? Why not just limit it to the manual correction?

Lens Correction within Photoshop - CS5 E and CS6 E- Shows camera/lens info for the 5DMkIII in the lower left hand corner, but nothing in the drop down menu.
CS5:
CS6:
But with both CS5 E and CS6E, it's the reverse here. Bottom left corner doens't show camera information, but I can select it manually from the drop down list. Also, I can select the other items just about the drop down menus list.
CS5
CS6
Sorry for appearing to post duplicate images, but they aren't. It's screen captures from both CS5 Extended and CS6 Extended.
Anything from Canon 7D and earlier (including most of the Canon Powershots, but not the G1X), I get all the options in the drop down menus on the right. Canon 5DMkIII and Olyumpus OMD EM5, nothing.
I hope that's documented enough.

Cleaning Your Camera and Lens

Like everything we own cameras and lenses get dirty and should be cleaned from time to time. It’s really not too difficult, but make sure to do it right. The feeling of scratching an expensive lens while trying to clean it is something you’ll regret for a while.
Items you need to clean your camera and lens
Brushes
Air Blower
Lens Cleaning Liquid
Cleaning cloth or Tissues
How to clean you camera and Lens
First you should take a brush, designed to clean photography equipment, and brush off all surfaces.
Now take the Air Blower and blow any remaining loose debris (i.e. sand, dust, etc…) off the camera and lens surfaces. Pay special attention to crevices. You should also make sure to blow out the memory card slots and accessory ports.
Next get your Cleaning Cloth/Cleaning Tissues wet with some of your Lens Cleaning Liquid and clean all surfaces. When cleaning glass surfaces, like lenses and LCD screens, make sure to move the cloth/tissue in a circular motion. I personally like a Microfiber Cleaning Cloth over tissues.
I would not try to clean the rear lens element of a DSLR or Compact System Camera (CSC), beyond just blowing any dust off of it. Being that the rear lens element should almost always be protected from the elements it shouldn't need to be cleaned much.
Do not use compressed “air” on a camera. Unless held perfectly upright for short amounts of time, these can emit aerosol and the pressure involved can damage some areas of a camera.
There are techniques to clean a camera’s sensor, but other than blowing off the sensor with a blower, I would recommend not doing this yourself. Although you can do this, it would be terrible to damage your camera’s sensor. If your camera’s sensor gets dirty, have it professionally cleaned. A professional knows what they are doing, and if they happen to make a mistake, they should cover it.

There are two ways to approach this:
*Leaving feedback for the developers about the functionality of this icon in [https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/firefox?#moreinfo]
*Suggest a functionality alternative in bugzilla cc sevaan -> however including the steps to reproduce, what is expected and what actually happens in the bug description is very important.

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work. Can you help?

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. Can someone help? I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

How do I download camera and lens profiles?

I am new to CC. How do I download camera and lens profiles and install them in Photoshop and LR5?

Hope this answers your questions. If not check back.
Lens profile support | Lightroom 5, 4, 3 | Photoshop CS6, CS5 | Camera Raw 8, 7, 6
You did mention Photoshop CC, and Adobe Camera Raw 8.6 does have a lens correction tab
8.7 Release Candidate has updated ones as well. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-7-cc.html

I want to enter the info specific to my camera and lens into the lens corrections options in P'shop 2014 and L'room 2015 but they're not on the list. (Nikon D-750 with 24-120 lens). How do I fix this?

I recently upgraded from a Nikon D-7000 to a D-750 with the Nikkor 24-120 mm lens but they aren't on the list of options in either P'shop or Lightroom under camera and lens profiles. Since every tutorial I viewed on the 24-120 lens suggested fixing the distortion issues in P'shop, how do I make the choice without those specific products being on the list? (P'shop 2014, L'room 2015)

A few do shoot in JPEG...I definitely do not!
You're welcome!

IPhoto updated after a restore and now I am missing photos and cannot further update iPhoto

I needed to restore my iMac after the hard drive crashed. I use TimeMachine and the restore process went OK. However, when I restored I noticed I had a new version of iPhoto. I previously had a really old version and now I had iPhoto 11. It appears that I have been updated to iLife 11. All was good, but I soon started to notice some issues:
(1) Some photos are not displaying in iPhoto. Basically there is just a dotted square where the photo should be. The meta-data is present (e.g. camera details, etc..) but when I select the "Reveal in Finder" menu option, I get "The operation can't be completed becasue the item can't be found". Note that this is only for a small % of my photos. The large majority are OK.
(2) I am unable to update the iLife apps in the App store. I receive the following message if I try to download an update: “You have updates available for other accounts…” I have only ever had 1 account.
Help appreciated.
I am running OSX v10.8.3 on a 2.8GHx Intel Core I7 27inch iMac.
Regards,
Anita

Anita,
“You have updates available for other accounts…” I have only ever had 1 account.
You may accidentally have created a second account.
How exactly did you restore your iMac after the hard drive crashed? Did the store, that replaced the drive, install MacOS for you and you used Migration Assistant to restore from Time Machine afterwards, or did you reinstall Mt. Lion yourself and used the Setup Assistant to restore your mac from Time Machine, or did you restore manually?
If the Store set up your mac and you migrated later, any new installed iLife apps may be tied to a different AppleID or no AppleID at all. Did you already sign into the AppStore with your AppleID (from the "Store > Sign In" menu)? Check, if the new version of iPhoto needs to be accepted to your Apple ID - in this case it will be in the "Accept" panel of the "Purchased" tab. If available, press "Accept".
Did you buy your Mac second hand? Then the preinstalled iLife apps may be tied to the AppleID of the previous owner. In that case contact Apple Support.
Regards
Léonie
Some photos are not displaying in iPhoto. Basically there is just a dotted square where the photo should be.
Once the update problem is solved, I'd try to rebuild the iPhoto library.

Missing Camera and Exposure information by using Aperture 2

I am using Aperture 2 and .mac web gallery. However, I note that the Camera and exposure information are missing for photos if I use the Aperture 2 for uploading my photos. However, the Image and File information are okay.
By using the iPhoto, the Image, File, Camera and Exposure information can be shown in my .mac web gallery. Which setting should I use in Aperture 2 to allow me to upload the photo information in my .mac Web gallery? Thanks.

In the Web Album settings you will need to change the settings to upload "Optimized Image" in order to get metadata included in the images you upload to .mac.
You current settings only upload small JPEG versions of your images.
Please, note that the upload time will increase significantly when you change to "Optimized Images" since they are much larger.

Photos don't get deleted after iphoto import, help

I posted this in the iphoto forums but got not answers....
photos remain on my iphone after have imported them into iphoto and selected 'delete originals' after import
anyone know a fix?
thanks!

me too!
Here is my setup and my steps.
I am running iTunes v9.0.1 and iPhoto '09 v8.1 and Mac OS X 10.6.1 and a first generation iPhone.
STEPS I TOOK
1. I plug in my iPhone and iPhoto Launches (as expected)
2. I see my iPhone in iPhoto under devices and it's selected
3. I click on Import All…
3a If I tick "Hide photos already imported" on, iPhoto does understand that the Photos have already been imported.
4. I click on the Import All button and tick "Apply to all duplicates" and choose Don't Import so that I don't end up with duplicates
5. After all my photos have been imported a window comes up with the message, "Delete Photos on Your Camera?" — I click on Delete Photos
6. The photos remain on my iPhone. (Arghh!)
I have tried to tell iTunes to "Sync photos from" and chose a small album in the hopes that this would trigger something but it only adds the small album and keeps the photos that are still on my phone that I wish to remove.
Has anyone found any further information on this issue?
I tried some other things.
-I started up iPhoto while holding down the alt key and created a new Library to isolate my library
-I created a new library
-I chose to import
-When prompted I chose to delete the photos from my iPhone
THIS WORKED! (finally)
OK, something interesting happened this time. On my iPhone, my Photo Album contains a Camera Roll (1) (in brackets there is a one, indicating one photo and next to 'Camera Roll' there is a preview of the last photo I took with the camera. It is not literally the last photo I took with the camera, in fact it is the last photo I took before updating my iPhone - I have updated my iphone twice since that photo was taken. Anyway I click on that photo and I get a blank library on my iphone. Not sure if the preview thumbnail should be there but now my iPhone is blank.
Next I quit iPhoto.
I relaunched iPhoto (with alt being held down so I can choose my main library - just to be sure of things)
Now that I have all the photos off my iPhone I am happy but this deserves more testing just to be sure this isn't a sticky issue.
Does anyone else have any other ideas on this issue?
PS I had already tried a restore and restarted my iPhone to no avail.
Thanks

Anyone having problems tethering there camera and aperture 3 after upgrading to OS Lion?

After installing OSX Lion I have not been able to capture via tether with my Canon 5d and Aperture 3. I can see the camera and tranfer images but I am not able to tether.

Hi, I guess everyone is having a little bit different tethering issues. Mine was I couldn't get my files transferred into library. I would able to connect the camera, and even fire the shutter from computer, but nothing transferred through. I would just see a message says proccessing, then nothing, and shot counter stays at 0.
Later on I found the solution for THAT problem. Turned out Aperture was taking pictures, but they stored all my photos in a root folder inside the library, and I was not able to see any previews in the aperture interface, which totally defeated the purpose of tethering. The work around for me after many trail and error was, I had to leave the "Version Name" block to Master File Name when I start a new tethering session. I can not use Custom rename feature, or nothing would get transferred...
Hope this was your problem, and that's the way to solve it. I know some other people having disc permission issue and USB related issue...

Fuji xt-1 camera and lens support

I just purchase the Fuji XT-1 camera and lenses, I don't see lens support under lens correction in the development module, I don't see Fuji supported.
Is there support for Fuji and the x series lenses?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

The XT1 files have built-in lens correction in Adobe raw converters, although in the sample file I found, it was only for Chromatic Aberration, so the lenses must be very good if they don't need distortion correction:
