Possible to extract "Maker Note" metadata from a JPG?

Hi
I am trying to access the camera-specific "Maker Note" metadata that is stored in a JPG image. As far as I can understand, this data is not recognised by Bridge since it is not associated with a standard "Namespace". This is probably due to it being very camera/model specific.
Can anyone point me towards the method for accessing this data - even in a RAW/binary format? I do not mind having to interpret and parse this data myself. I am just trying to find a way to actually read the data.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Regards, Nigel

Hi Herrmueller
To clarify my original posting - I am trying to find a method of accessing the Maker Note data using Javascript in Bridge.

Is it possible to copy or export metadata from Folio Producer?

Hi,
Is it possible to copy or export metadata from one issue in Folio Producer and import/apply it to a different issue in Folio Producer? Or create a master metadata template that every issue build could use? It would save a lot of time and typing not having to re-enter the same information every month when releasing the next issue for departments, bylines, etc.
Thanks!

Bob,
Do you know when exporting metadata from Folio Producer will be available, and will it export directly to another rendition, or would it export to a sidecar.xml file?
The workflow my team prefers is to build our 1024x768 folio first, add metadata via Properties in the Folio Builder as we add articles, share the folio with editors and advertising sales, make edits and updates, then when all content is approved, create the 2048x1536 rendition folio using multiple importing of articles.
Having the ability to export from an existing folio in Folio Producer would save tons of tedious copying/pasting to get a sidecar.xml.
Hopefully when this becomes available you'll have a big announcement. (Please?)
Thanks in advance.

How do i remove the exif metadata from my jpg file produced with a digital camera photo?

How do i remove the exif metadata from my jpg file produced with a digital camera photo?

The excellent and free utility Irfanview has the option to remove the EXIF data.
Simply open and the file and do a Save, or Save As with the original name.
Surprisingly, the default is to not keep the original EXIF data.

Howto Extract Exif GPS Metadata from JPEG?

Hi,
i want to extract GPS Metadata from a JPEG.
The JPEG is a photo taken with an HP iPAQ hw6900 PDA.
Serveral application like exif-o-matic can extract the GPS latitude/longitude metadata.
As described in the Oracle interMedia/Multimedia Userguide "Chapter 6 - Working with Metadata" i use a pl/sql procedure to extract these metadata.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28415/ch_metadata.htm#CIAEFDGH
I insert a row and extract the metadata but in the exif xml column there are no gps metadata only width/height and so on.
How do i extract these informations?

I got an XML document with no GPS metadata.
With "select p.image.getMetadata('exif') from photos p where id = xx;" i got sys.xmltype(sys.xmltype)
and with "select p.metaexif.extract('/').getStringVal() from photos p where id = xx;" I got an xml string like these
<exifMetadata xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

In the oracle xml shemata specification exists a gps section but in my example there is no gps metadata
You can find the jpg at http://public.tfh-berlin.de/~s21656/HPIM0014.jpg

Modify LabelGraphics.js to extract other XMP metadata from images

This script works flawlessly. However, I would like to be able to extract other XMP metadata than just
//XMP description
        case 2:
            try{
                myLabel = myLink.linkXmp.description;
            catch(myError){
                myLabel = "No description available.";
            break;
        //XMP author
        case 3:
            try{
                myLabel = myLink.linkXmp.author
            catch(myError){
                myLabel = "No author available.";
I have developed a custom info panel (based on the generic one) with following "properties.xml":
<xmp_definitions xmlns:ui="http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/fileinfo/ui/">
    <xmp_schema prefix="custom0" namespace="http://my.custom0.namespace/" label="$$$/Custom0/Schema/Label=Ref_SAP" description="$$$/Custom0/Schema/Description=This example panel contains most of the options available for the 'Generic Panel'.">
        
        <xmp_property name="Ref_SAP" category="external" label="$$$/Custom0/Property/TextInputLabel=Referentie nummer SAP:" type="integer"/>
        <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>
    <xmp_schema prefix="custom1" namespace="http://my.custom1.namespace/" label="$$$/Custom1/Schema/Label=FRANS" description="$$$/Custom1/Schema/Description=This example panel contains most of the options available for the 'Generic Panel'.">
        
        <xmp_property name="Titel_FR" category="external" label="$$$/Custom1/Property/TextInputLabel=Titel FR:" type="text"/>
        <xmp_property name="Tekst_FR" category="external" label="$$$/Custom1/Property/TextInputML_Label=Tekst FR:" type="text" ui:multiLine="true" ui:height="100"/>
        <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>
    <xmp_schema prefix="custom2" namespace="http://my.custom2.namespace/" label="$$$/Custom2/Schema/Label=VLAAMS" description="$$$/Custom2/Schema/Description=This example panel contains most of the options available for the 'Generic Panel'.">
        <xmp_property name="Titel_VL" category="external" label="$$$/Custom2/Property/TextInputLabel=Titel VL:" type="text"/>
        <xmp_property name="Tekst_VL" category="external" label="$$$/Custom2/Property/TextInputML_Label=Tekst VL:" type="text" ui:multiLine="true" ui:height="100"/>
        <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>
    <xmp_schema prefix="custom3" namespace="http://my.custom3.namespace/" label="$$$/Custom3/Schema/Label=NEDERLANDS" description="$$$/Custom3/Schema/Description=This example panel contains most of the options available for the 'Generic Panel'.">
        <xmp_property name="Titel_NL" category="external" label="$$$/Custom3/Property/TextInputLabel=Titel NL:" type="text"/>
        <xmp_property name="Tekst_NL" category="external" label="$$$/Custom3/Property/TextInputML_Label=Tekst NL:" type="text" ui:multiLine="true" ui:height="100"/>
        <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>
</xmp_definitions>
Now I would like to adapt the LabelGraphics.js to retrieve the information stored in the fields "Titel_FR", "Tekst_FR", "Titel_VL", "Tekst_VL", "Titel_NL", Text_NL". These fields contain fixed text that goes with the image and should be retrieved in several "goes".
Question 1: is this possible at all ?
Question 2: how to proceed ?

How to make a wallpaper from a .jpg file?

I want to make a wallpapaer for my ipod touch from a .jpg file. I do not have photoshop. Is there a way to do this? I can't figure it out.
Thanks.

From itunes, I go to "sync photos from", and hit "choose folder", then I go to a folder on my pc that has many jpg files. When I click on the folder it says "No items match your search". itunes isn't recognizing the jpg files on my pc.
Any ideas?

Extracting "File Properties" metadata from Photoshop CS3

After processing scanned images in Photoshop CS3, I am up loading them to a DAM solution that has the capability to extract embedded metadata using custom defined keys. I would like to know the syntax/structure of embedded metadata labels that display in the "File Properties" template of Bridge CS3 (e.g. File Size, Dimensions, Color Space) so that I can extract that metadata.
Thank you!

I have this printer and use Leopard, but I don't have this problem I am useing the 6.2 driver. There are two drivers on their website, I am using only the driver that came with the machine. I would re-install the driver. Secondly and this caught me up a bit at first. You open the CS print manager, press print and then the Epson driver emerges, there i s no direct access from CS3 to the driver. Secondly in the Epson driver there are two or three set of drop down menus, the one that permits setting the paper profile is not exactly where you expect it, just have a look through all the menus(I am not sitting in fronto of my mac right now so I am of limited help). Good luck.

Is it possible to extract data with jdbc from msword???

I need to extract data from word.
Is it possible and can I do that (if you've got code it would be nice)
Thanx

I am not sure whether it is possible but if ever, it must be with a Microsoft COM object. i.e. you have to write a COM-Wrapper java class to access the content of a word file.
The best way i can consider is to use the OLD Visual J++, which was deprecated after .NET and C# were introduced.
It may still function, if your project is nothing commercial.

Possible to extract R3 attributes directly from portal?

What does the method getTransientAttribute() do?
Thanks

Hi,
Object getTransientAttribute(String namespace,String name)
Generic get method to access additional transient attributes.
These attributes are contained in separate namespaces, and
are accessible via their names. Attributes that are in no
distinct namespace are formally located in the namespace
null.
Note: the transient attributes are instance specific.
Parameters:
namespace - namespace the attribute is in (may be null)
name - name of the attribute
Returns:
the values of the respective attribute, or null if this namespace
or attribute within this namespace does not exist

How can I make individual files from one jpg file?

I have a disk of 78 scanned images that I need to split up into individual images so I can work with them.
I am very new to Adobe and can't figure this out on my own. I am sure that it is a simple solution or at least I hope so.
Any suggestions?

As far as I know, each image should already be its own file. Is that not the case? Exactly what type of files are these anyway?
Or are you saying that there are multiple photos scanned side-to-side and edge-to-edge in a single file?
Because these two require different techniques...

Plug-in to Extract Camera RAW Metadata

Hello,
I am new to Photoshop plug-in development and reading the Photoshop SDK helped a little, but not much.
Because Photoshop doesn't have the tools and also because there are no plugins available that are capable of extracting all or specific metadata from different RAW camera files that my company needs, I am left with the job of writing a plugin to specifically extract the necessary metadata from these RAW camera files.
I am looking through all the categories of different types of plugins(import, export, file format, filter, etc.) that I have to decide that fits the purpose that I am trying to accomplish. Being new at this, I am even stuck there.
So if anyone have some tips that can get me started and help me on my way during development, any help will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
T. Tran

I'm in the same boat.
I'm also trying to extract some metadata to incorporate into a web gallery template (specifically to show the original filename against the current filename for tracking, and archival cross-reference). Dealing with a large number of images (in the hundreds of thousands) any way to do this would relieve a lot of redundant data entry.

Access custom metadata from another plugin

I was wondering if it would be possible to access the custom metadata from one plugin from another plugin.
I know you use the _PLUGIN object when you read or write the metadata with a plugin.Is there any way to pass the varible to another plugin, maybe stored in a xml or text file in the modules folder? I also see where you can use the "unique identifying string" or plugin.id. Is this id differant for every installation of Lightroom?

Allen, I'm pretty sure the answer is no - you can't access another plug-in's custom fields.
I'm sure I have read this limitation somewhere - even if I can't now see it stated explicitly in the documentation. If anything, the docs imply getPropertyForPlugin can do so by specifying the LrToolkitIdentifier value (which you may be able to pass as a preference). So this doesn't work:
getData = photo:getPropertyForPlugin("uk.co.beardsworth.missing", jbMissing )
It is an important point though that one plug-in should be able to access another's custom fields. Obviously one can think of many ordinary circumstances where it would be handy, but I'm more worried about the longer term DAM viability of custom metadata. Let's say I decided to release a plug-in based around custom fields and users entered metadata which had some value to them - whether that's just input time or business data (eg client or agency account number). Now move on to LR3 and the plug-in no longer works - I've disappeared, driven mad by SDK changes, or you're unwilling to pay my extortionate plug-in upgrade fee.
Now what happens to that valuable metadata? The data is still in the database but you can't read it because the original plug-in's unavailable, and Adobe's built-in "All" Plugin Metadata panel only shows data from enabled plug-ins. It's not in the XMP either. You're stuffed - unless you're resourceful enough to reverse engineer chunks of the plug-in. Assuming that I encrypted my plug-in's code, that means you're going to have to dig around the SQL to figure out my plug-in's ID and its field names. Only then can you create a plug-in to rescue your custom data. And you've got to hope to hell that my plug-in didn't encrypt or obscure the values you entered.
For me what this shows is
1) You're taking a big risk if you store valuable custom metadata - if you can't sort it out yourself, should you do it?
2) You should ensure any plug-in with custom metadata stores its field definitions in unencrypted files
3) The All Plug-in Metadata panel needs to show all plug-in metadata
4) The SDK should allow you to get custom metadata from other plug-ins
4) Custom fields should be mapped to XMP
Short answer - No.

How to extract hyperion planning metadata to sql by ODI?

I don't find any LKM for that. How to achieve it? I just wonder why Oracle doesn't provide it ?

Hi,
No you can't directly extract metadata from planning, this follows on from the HAL days where you couldn't do it either.
It is possible to extract the dimension information from essbase which is nearly the same, it just needs a bit of transformation.
I did write a couple of blogs covering this area, try [here |http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/12/odi-series-essbase-to-planning.html] and here
Ok?
Cheers

Export Exif Maker Notes to jpeg

Hi,
I hoped LR4 would export the maker notes section from my DNG or PEF raw's to the jpeg.
This section contains so much interesting information and I'd really like to see it in the jpeg too.
Please add an option for exporting maker notes.
Best regards,
Christian

Yes, it is by design.
That is because maker notes are not preservable -- they contain unknown data that cannot be preserved after editing (or really any change to the file).
Previous attempts to preserve maker notes resulted in crashes on various devices and programs because the contents of the maker note were preserved and not updated (but couldn't be updated because the contents are unknown).
