Access Image Metadata in a jpeg?

An image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it.
The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name,
address, title, description, etc.
Is there any way to access this information using Flash so
that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be
generated automatically?

Look at the documentation for the BitmapData class. I think
this provides you with access to the raw image data.
Look at the documentation of the jpeg i.e. the JPEG header
format. I think you might be able to parse out some image label
data from raw JPEG header. This would be one way. The second way is
to pass the name/caption of the image in the HTTP server response
and parse it using the URLLoader object. Read documentation of
URLLoader.

    As far as I know this is not possible with AS3 directly, but
    if you are interested you could check out the as3corelib at
    http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/
    They have some pretty nifty JPEG things going on there
    (although I do not know if this includes metadata - but I hope
    so).

  • Access Image Metadata

    Hi!
    I'm attempting to create a photo uploader as part of a school project, and I was wondering how I can access, and edit, the metadata for the images I'm uploading.  I want to change the tags, description, etc.  I tried Googling, but it didn't return anything I can use.
    I also suspect it might not be possible to edit metadata in Flex.  If so, is there another way I can do this?
    By the way, I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 Premium, with Flex 4.5.1 SDK.
    Cheers
    Mark

    I've not tried this but it looks promising

  • How can I access images from IPhoto on my Mac to Photoshop CS6

    How can I access images from IPhoto library on my Mac to Photoshop CS6?  I enable jpg with format "Photoshop" and this is what comes up -  "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Photoshop is not a format.  It's an application.
    What you are looking at are not true JPEGs, just iPhoto's "tease" representations of the hidden images it swallowed, as explained above.

  • 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?

  • Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

    I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name.  This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

    Jason,
    I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
    The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
    Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
    The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
    The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
    Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
    Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
    The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
    I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
    If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.

  • How to access images in my localmachine without deploying them

    Hi
    I am trying to access images in my localmachine from an ADF Application (11.1.2.4). If the source of the images is an url address it works fine. However, if they are in my local machine I don't know how to make it work. I don't want to deploy them with the application. I want them to be referenced like:
    file:///C:/images/bla/bla.jpg
    I might be failing is something really silly. Apologies in advance.
    Regards

    You can only address images inside your web root directly. The application can't just reference your file system.
    You can archive this using a servlet which you call via an url with parameters (e.g. the filename) and send the image from there (where you have access to the file system).

  • How to access images files outside an ear file

    I tried accessing images that are not part of the ear file which i deployed. And
    which created on a fly during the execution of applicaiton. I get URL not found
    error, can any one let me know if is there any way where in i could access the

    ASAP.
    Thanks
    Anastasia

    Generally, accessing files that are not within your
              war hierarchy is not allowed. Everything the webapp
              needs should be contained within the webapp.
              WebLogic does have an extension known as "virtual
              directories" which does allow you to access content
              outside the war. There is information on it at:
              http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/ConsoleHelp/war_webappext_virtualdirectorymapping_config.html

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Access CDF MetaData from Region Template

    How can I access the MetaData of a CDF from the Region Template?
    I have read that I can use DOC_INFO, but this does not seem to work. I tried:
    DOC_INFO.dDocAccount and got nothing.
    I tried:
    executeService("DOC_INFO")
    DOC_INFO.dDocAccount
    Thank you in advance for any help.
    _t                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    If you're looking for the CDF that's assigned to the region template, use:
    <!--$#active.[metadata field name]-->
    For example, <!--$#active.xDescription-->
    If you're trying to get from a different CDF, use:
    <!--$dDocName="[Content ID]"-->
    <!--$executeService("DOC_INFO_BY_NAME")-->
    <!--$#active.[metadata field name]-->
    For example,
    <!--$dDocName="CONTENT123456"-->
    <!--$executeService("DOC_INFO_BY_NAME")-->
    <!--$#active.xDescription-->

  • 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.

  • Access image files on mobile device

    Hi
    I've just started playing about with J2ME and was writing a application for my mobile (LG8120) ... it a simple applicaion, an image scroller. Allowing the user to scroll around a large image using the keypad ... Anyhow, i've come across a snag! .. How do you access images off the mobile device?, such as taken by the camara, or sent to me ... basically file access! ...
    thanks for your time ...

    For image access you have 'Image' class and 'ImageItem' to display image on form.
    You can either get image from resource file (bundled with jar) or via HTTP.
    For resource file use :
    getClass().getResourceAsStream(imageFile)
    For HTTP use:
    HttpConnection newHttpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(imageUrl);
    To create image use:
    Image.createImage()
