Reading Image Metadata..

Hi,
I am converting some PHP pages to JSP. There is an image gallery page where images are being displayed and also the comment and Author names is displayed under that image.Those things are set as image metadata.
The code for doing this in PHP looks like....
$exif = exif_read_data($full_file_path, 0, true);
foreach ($exif as $key => $section)
foreach ($section as $name => $val)
echo $section['Comments'];
echo $section['Author'];
How can I achieve this in java i.e. how can I read author and comment metadata fields using java....
Thanks & Regards

Read image metadata

Hi All,
Question: Can we read image meta data from CS extension code by any way ?
I tried it with xmp core library and passed a jpeg file to xmpMeta object which expect a String, a XML or Byte Array as argument:
private function getImageMetadata(jpeg:File):void
                              var meta:XMPMeta = new XMPMeta(jpeg);
                              var packet:XML = meta.serializeToXML();
                              var photoshop:Namespace = XMPConst.photoshop;
                              var value:String = meta.photoshop::AuthorsPosition;
If I was able to convert jpeg file to Byte Array, I my guess to be work but I'm not able to find it workable.
Can someone help me to complete the task?
Thanks

Read Image XMP Metadata

Hi All,
Hope I'm not spamming this thread to your mailbox as I felt this question asked in unrelated forum.
Question: Can we read image meta data from Flex ?
I tried it with xmp core library and passed a jpeg file to xmpMeta object :
private function getImageMetadata(jpeg:File):void
                              var meta:XMPMeta = new XMPMeta(jpeg);
                              var packet:XML = meta.serializeToXML();
                              var photoshop:Namespace = XMPConst.photoshop;
                              var value:String = meta.photoshop::AuthorsPosition;
                                trace(value); // returns null, not sure why
Can any one help me to get the image metadata.

Read-image-file show jpeg photo cause error

I use read-image-file to show a jpeg photo (edited by ACDSEE) cause frm-47100. I know that Oracle may not support the Jpeg format of ACDSee. But, anyone know how to solve this problem. (I have to keep using ACDSee)

If you remove the metadata from a JPEG it should usually do the trick. I don't know how to do that in ACDSee, though.

LR 1.4.1 not reading GPS metadata

I recently geotagged a number of files (Nikon NEF) that I had previously imported into LR. I know I should have geotagged first, but oh well. Anyway, I tagged the photos in a separate directory (made a "working" directory for the tagging in case something went wrong) then copied the files back to the original directory, overwriting the untagged versions. I opened LR and did a "Synchronize folders" choosing only to sync metadata. In Library view, with the metadata pane set to "all" I still do not see GPS info. Any thoughts? This is my first try at geotagging, so I could easily have done something wrong.
Update: I did a test image (to which I had not made any changes) and chose "Read metadata from file" instead. The GPS info appeared. Of course, this poses a problem since that action on a larger scale will overwrite keywording, etc on the files. Definitely not an option.

OK Carl that makes more sense. The first question is did you update the images metadata from within LR before geotagging it outside of LR? If you do this then any geotagging you add to the file will only add to the metadata not delete any. It sounds very much as though you didn't update the file from within LR first. Now, having said that I'm not entirely sure how much is saved in the database and how much is saved in the metadata itself - I have a sneaky suspicion not everything and perhaps a quick visit to the FAQ's might help here or someone else will jump in.
A little OT I know but seeing as how you mentioned it. I am not a big fan of geotagging tracks from my unit (Garmin 60CSx) as I find the accuracy is dependent upon several variables e.g. how often the unit records a point and are the unit and cameras clocks exactly in sync. My preferred method is to set a Waypoint changing the default name to that of the image number. Back on the puter it's simply a case of marrying up the image number and the Waypoint number which is dead easy with my preferred geotagging application - RoboGeo.

Update image metadata programatically

Hi
I developed a plugin, which changes exif information of the image (using a third party program). Is there a way to inform Lightroom programatically to refresh image metadata? Right now I have to right-click on the folder and choose "Synchronize Folder...".

There's at least one ODBC driver for SQLLite http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/, and maybe command line access to the database too
But there's nothing directly through Lightroom, and you won't be able to code Lightroom to refresh EXIF data. There is no coding mechanism to write to EXIF fields or to refresh the image (ie sadly you can't automate Metadata > Read Metadata).
If you write directly to the SQL while LR is open, the best you can expect is that the EXIF will use updated data from the database when you next click on that image in Library. However, you are likely to encounter database locking problems and stand a good chance of corrupting the database. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here?

Muse image metadata and global caption styling

When will Muse be able to import image metadata and perform global caption styling with accurate positioning for lightboxes and slideshows?

I've done some testing.
if images are uploaded to the Facebook Wall, the Comments field that Aperture presents before uploading the image becomes the Description field on Facebook.
however, if the images are uploaded to a known Facebook Album, the Version Name becomes the Description.
both of these situations are not logical. in the case of uploading to the Wall, 'Comments' should probably be 'Description'. I'll report them to Apple's bugreport.
images seem to be scaled down to fit within 2048x2048 pixels.

Image metadata is not retained(stripped) in lightbox slideshow widget

How is this corrected

Can someone at Adobe please confirm that there is no reading of the image metadata. I thought it was limiting that it was only the caption field available. I am stunned if this is the case that no metadata is being read. I am working on a photo web site and got to the point of importing photos with the 'captions' checked. Huge surprise. It is hard to believe that something as fundamental as basic metadata fields (caption, title, filename, copyright) isn't pulled with the image and available as needed. C'mon, you are the company that has Photoshop and Lightroom. Do you guys talk to the other teams?
I was looking at Muse galleries as an alternative to the LR web module for 2 reasons: one is flexibility in layout, and the other is speed, since the LR gallery export cranks along at a glacial pace to the point of being almost unusable. And this is the LR4 upgrade; much slower than LR3. See the LR threads on this if you're interested. Still waiting for that fix.
The thought of manually entering caption info to a dozen galleries, each with 20 or 30 images, is nonsense. This makes Muse a non-starter for photo galleries. This is basic capability. Adobe should be embarrassed that LR4 doesn't do what it should in this regard, and that the feature needed don't even exist in Muse. Everyone expects a few bugs in the early days of a new software, but not missing essential, fundamental features to make web galleries useful.
Rant now over and I will happily apologize if the metada fields are, indeed, available. Please explain how. Thanks.

Image Metadata Editor

I have been looking for inserting descriptions into my pictures. Unfortunately, there isn't any option to edit Metadata in File Explorers (I tried Thunar and Nautilus). I wouldn't like to have a photo gallery software just to do that, and, by the way, I couldn't find any of those that allows me to edit metadata in a straight-forward way. I have to navigate through a lot of menus in order to do that.
Basically, I was looking for a plugin or other software that enhanced the "Image" tab on Thunar, so I could see and edit all file metadata there. Honestly, I don't know how do you guys keep your photo albums organized without this feature.

I've found Shotwell pretty straightforward to edit tags. However, I personally also use feh + dmenu + a script I found somewhere to view and edit metadata. The latter method I find quite speedy when I've imported a bunch of photos. The script is
image-metadata.sh:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo -e usage: "$0 <action> <filename>\n actions: edit-comment, edit-tags"
exit -1
fi
action=$1
file=$2
if [ "$action" == "edit-comment" ]
then
commentText=$(echo | dmenu -t "$(exiv2 -Pt -g Exif.Photo.UserComment $file)")
if [ $? -ne 1 ] # not aborted
then
if [ -z "$commentText" ]
then
exiv2 -M"del Exif.Photo.UserComment" $file
else
exiv2 -M"set Exif.Photo.UserComment $commentText" $file
fi
fi
fi
if [ "$action" == "edit-tags" ]
then
exiv2 -Pt -g Iptc.Application2.Keywords $file > /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
selection=$(exiv2 -Pt -g Iptc.Application2.Keywords $file | dmenu -sb "#000" -nf "#aaa" -nb "#222" -sf "#509ba6" -fn 'Deja Vu Sans Mono-14:bold' -l 10)
if [ -n "$selection" ]
then
exiv2 -M "del Iptc.Application2.Keywords" $file
while read keyword
do
if [ "$selection" != "$keyword" ]
then
exiv2 -M "add Iptc.Application2.Keywords String $keyword" $file
else
deleted=true
fi
done < /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
if [ -z $deleted ]
then
exiv2 -M "add Iptc.Application2.Keywords String $selection" $file
fi
fi
rm /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
fi
if [ "$action" == "show" ]
then
comment=$(exiv2 -Pt -g Exif.Photo.UserComment $file)
exiv2 -Pt -g Iptc.Application2.Keywords $file > /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
echo -n Comment: $comment, "Keywords: "
first=true
while read keyword
do
if [ $first == "false" ]
then
echo -n ", "
fi
echo -n $keyword
first="false"
done < /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
echo
rm /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
fi
It requires exiv2, iptc, and dmenu. (Also ttf-dejavu, but you can edit out that font choice ) The script is not mine; unfortunately, I cannot remember where I found it.
Then in .config/feh/themes, put
tag --action2 ";/path/to/image-metadata.sh edit-comment %f" --action1 ";/path/to/image-metadata.sh edit-tags %f" --info "/path/to/image-metadata.sh show %f"
Browse pictures with "feh -Ttag *.jpg" for instance, then press 1 to edit tags, press 2 to edit comments.

How do I edit image metadata?

What I would like to be able to do is something like:
  tell application "Image Events"
  tell pic
    make new metadata tag with properties {name:"creation", value:cr}
  end tell
  end tell
Only, sips/Image Events doesn't support setting most image metadata. Any suggestions as to how to approach this problem?

Thanks. Lightroom 2.4, unfortunately, isn't very scriptable. This is ironic, since the program itself relies on Lua for its interface functionality. I will probably, eventually, manage to compile Exempi and the Python XMP Toolkit and do the job that way.

Reading JPEG metadata

Is it possible to read the metadata from an imported JPEG or a JPEG selected with Image Field during execution?

It is possible to get quite a bit of information from imported files via DataObjects, but I can't seem to get my existing description/metadata/EXIF data. Below is a code snippit showing that path and size work correctly but description does not.
'Code for Get Data Object Button Click
var myDoc = event.target;
var count = 0;
var sFile = "myFile" + count;
myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile);
var sFileName = myDataObject.path;
count = count + 1;
'Code to display each attached files name/size on Button Click
var myDoc = event.target;
var d = myDoc.dataObjects;
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
app.alert("Data Object[" + i + "]=" + d[i].path + " and the file size is: " + d[i].size);

WDS 2012 Image Capture - Stuck at 50% "Capturing Windows image metadata..."

I have tried capturing a few images after running sysprep, and they are getting stuck at 50% completion, never moving past after hours of waiting. "Capturing Windows image metadata...". If I look on the WDS server I see that the file

Has anyone ever experienced this, or have any ideas of how to troubleshoot?
Thank you!

Hi motenoob,
What system edition and MDT edition you are capturing? If it is Windows8 or 8.1, it seems is the know issue, you can refer the following KB:

Write/read image to avi file, VI works incorrectly from the second run

Hi everybody, in my labview I write image from IMAQ USB to avi file and read image from avi file, the VI runs correctly at the first run then after that it goes wrong, I can write/read only one frame and it terminates automatically. Does anybody know why and how to solve this?
Thanks a lot,
Hannah

Without seeing your code I can't comment specifically, but if it runs correctly the first time and then stops be looking for something that is not getting reinitialized correctly. Also what exactly do you have to do to get it to work again? Close and reopen the VI? Restart LV? Restart the computer?

Hi Sindhu,
By default any operating system file extension starts after the dot. So in this case when it says 2 dots it will think there is something wrong.
