Aperture Not Displaying Altitude Metadata from Camera

My camera records GPS data including Lat, Long and Altitude. When I import my images into Aperture 3.5.1, the metadata shows the Lat and Long information but Altitude shows up as 0m.
I know for sure that my camera is recording the altitude information because when I use the OEM software supplied with the camera I can see the altitude data in the JPEG file.
It also appears that when I import photos into Aperture with GPS data it seems to strip the altitude metadata from the file.
I saw a similar question asked previously: Is this a bug in Aperture that it will not read/accept Altitude metadata from certain cameras?

Is the altitude stired in the EXIF tags?
When I import image files with EXIF tags for GPS, I will see in Aperture all tags, that are also visible in Preview. For example, in Preview:
And after importing into Aperture:
I have never seen Aperture stripping EXIF data from the original image files, only not displaying EXIF tags, that are camera specific. But the EXIF tag "Altitude" is always displayed correctly in my library, if it is set. I suspect, that your camera is using a different tag, so the camera software understands it. So, as a test, check, if Preview can show this tag.

Bridge CC (mac) does not display EXIF metadata info of my camera

below is the screen shot of the error:
i deleted CC prefs, uninstalled/reinstalled, tried many things. problem persists. any ideas, can you please help?
by the way, it does not display TIFFs:
thanks in advance,

For anyone who may find this post wondering why they can't see the specific EXIF data for each photo... "Show Metadata Placard" may be what you're looking for. Click the drop down at the top right of your Metadata panel and tick "Show Metadata Placard." This will display a panel that looks like the info. panel on your camera (shutter speed, f-stop, iso, white balance, etc.).
I had to figure this out after getting frustrated by the fact that Camera Data (Exif) in the Metadata panel only shows the "Max Aperture Value" of the lens instead of the aperture value that you actually shot.

Bridge CS6 not displaying complete metadata

I have CS5 and am playing around with CS6. So far so good, impressed overall.
I like to have Bridge set up to display the Metadata for each image, and when I view the metadata, it is not as complete as what I see in the CS5 version of Bridge.
Specifically, I like to be able to see the Subject Distance, which is recorded for the camera/lens combination I'm using. In Bridge CS5, the Subject Distance displays just fine, but it is completely absent in CS6. I have confirmed this to be the case with my Canon 1D Mark IV, and my wife's Canon 7D.
Also, I like to see the ISO as well. In Bridge CS5, it shows nicely as "ISO Speed Ratings" while in Bridge CS6, it shows as "(ISO) Photographic Sensitivity" - kind of excessive. If I only check the "ISO Speed" - nothing shows up.
To verify this, I made sure *all* metadata options in the Preferences menu were selected to display, but despite this, the Subject Distance is not being displayed (and the ISO labeling is a bit wordy for my taste).
Also, I posted this in the PS General Forum, and received a reply from one user that for some of his old NEF files, Bridge in CS5 and CS6 displayed the subject distance properly, while for some newer NEF files, it showed in CS5, but not CS6.
I assume this is a bug, where Bridge is having trouble reading the metadata fields for different raw files, but I welcome any advice on how to get it to display Subject Distance, which is contained in the metadata. And hopefully pointing out this bug will lead to its getting fixed sometime down the road.
Thanks.

Curt,
I posted here, since it's a Bridge Function, not really Camera Raw. Bridge is where the metadata is being displayed, where the Preferences identify the particular metadata fields, etc.
And while I understand the need to do my share of sleuthing in tracking down a problem, to better define it, I think the cause here will be sporadic, rather than systemic. As you saw with your own files, some old NEF files displayed fine, newer ones didn't.
Some cameras store Subject Distance in the MakerNote fields, others don't. Some lenses provide the data for Subject Distance in cameras that do record this information, while others don't. So there is a myriad of factors involved here, and any additional sleuthing would just identify particular instances where Adobe's routines aren't correctly identifying and reading the MakerNote data.
I've identified 2 current cameras, which clearly demonstrate the problem. Adobe can examine their routines for these cameras and fix them. And if/when others come forward having discovered their cameras also show this problem, those can be corrected as well.
As I said, I think this is more likely to represent particular quirks in their routines as they're implemented for specific camera models, rather than a systemic, universal problem.
I spent a few hours looking for another program that will find that information, and was amazed to see how difficult it is. Even Canon's own Digital Photo Professional does not provide Subject Distance, which shocked me. I tried PIE, Opanda, iEXIF, Irfan, Faststone, and a few others - none of them correctly found/displayed Subject Distance.
The only one I found was ExifTool, using the mod with the GUI. This displays it in the "MakerNotes" fields, and interestingly shows 2 data points: FocusDistanceUpper and FocusDistanceLower, both in meters. The single datum displayed by CS5 Bridge is inbetween these 2 values - not quite the mean, but close. And as documented above, CS6 Bridge displays none of these.

Raw and jpeg will not show when imported from camera

I am doing a OCA degree in digital photography using aperture 3 . I have been asked to take Raw and J pag , open up in the program I use. And not the differance and the make changes.
I have 1d MK III and 7 d I cannot get both file types to show side by side.. Some one tell me how to do this please. I must have clicked , ticked something , that I cannot find to put right again.

As always, start by copying the images on to a folder on the hard drive and then backing up the folder. Never import directly from camera or card into Aperture or any other images app.
Then since this is an exercise not a batch workflow, simply rename the RAW and JPEG versions of one image and separately import each renamed version into Aperture. The two should each be Masters, one from the JPEG original and one from the RAW original.
Note the JPEG may initially "look" better on the (relatively low resolution) display due to in-camera presets like sharpening, etc. not present in the RAW file. However the RAW file contains much more image data, is much more editable and is capable of making superior (relatively very high resolution) hard copy prints.

Aperture won't import photos from camera?

I'm a longtime Aperture user and have the very latest update from Aperture V.3.1.1
For some reason, I was able to import 10 photos fine this morning, then wasn't able to do it again. I have my Canon camera importing through a USB cable directly, and Aperture recognizes that the camera is attached, and lists it the import list. However, the images on the card are not displayed.
The card and camera are in good working order, and I was able to import the images to my harddrive with OSX's 'image capture' application, then into Aperture from the HDD.
I have rebooted the computer, camera and Aperture multiple times. Anyone have suggestions?

Glad to help.
And thanks for confirming that *Do not import duplicates* works for someone other than me

Aperture not displaying MobileMe Galleries

I have a half-dozen MobileMe galleries that I am using to allow clients to view image proofs. They are password-protected and hidden from my Gallery page.
When I opened Aperture this morning, it does not show the MobileMe item in the project pane. None of the galleries are visible. I tried creating a new gallery with a single image, and I was able to publish it. The MobileMe item appeared in the project pane as usual. I quit Aperture, and when I re-opened it, the MobileMe item is again not displayed.
When I try to access any of the galleries directly via Safari, but with Aperture open, I get a message that says, "This page is currently being published. Please try again in a moment." I quit Aperture, and then I can access the galleries as usual.
The only change to my system recently was that I upgraded to OS X 10.5.7 on Friday, and I haven't opened Aperture since the upgrade.

Let me emphasize that I have not experienced this issue. I suspect that rebuilding the Aperture Library might be of benefit -- try rebuilding the Aperture library. Launch Aperture and hold down the Command and Option keys until the Rebuild Library dialog appears.

Ideas about viewing/displaying XMP metadata from Reader ?

Hi,
We are using Acrobat 9 to add XMP metadata to PDF documents.
These documents are viewed by the others employees with Acrobat Reader.
Since "File->Properties->Advanced Metadata" and "Custom Info Panels" are not available in Reader, how can we display XMP metadata ?
Do you know some ways or plug-ins to do this ?
Our custom XMP metadata schema have more than 20 fields, so I don't want to put all these informations in the "Keywords" field of the document properties.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you !

Michael... what you are describing above is not accurate. The iPod Classic does NOT have the capability of using the "Album Artist" field from iTunes to sort music. This particular metadata field is not even available to the iPod Classic. Only the "Artist" field is available. (It is the other way around with the iPod Touch, iPhone, and Ipad -- for these iOS devices, the "Album Artist" field is the one that is available, and not the "Artist" field.) There are numerous posts here in the discussion forums from other folks who are frustrated by the same issue. The iPod Classic can only sort and group songs together by "Artist" -- that is, the track artist. And the track artist is often quite different from the album artist. For example... I have 29 different Barbra Streisand albums in iTunes. For all of them, the album artist is "Barbra Streisand." There are several different track artists however. Most of them are just Barbra Streisand. But she also does a duet or two on several albums. So there are track artists like... "Barbra Streisand with Kim Carnes," and "Barbra Streisand with Barry Gibb," and many more like that. After syncing to my iPod Classic, when I sort on the iPod's "Artist" field, I get about 25 different iterations of "Barbra Streisand and .... " as the artist. Yes, "Barbra Streisand" does appear among them. But the only songs that are listed under "Barbra Streisand" are those that she sang by herself, and where she is the only track artist. Given the setup of the iPod Classic as it is now, using firmware version 2.0.4, it is NOT possible to use the Album Artist field to sort and group songs together.

Aperture not reading DNGs created from some E-M5 raw files

Aperture happily read DNGs created from dpreview's Olympus E-M5 sample raw files using Adobe DNG Converter version 6.7.0.339. However, it refuses to read the raw files created by E-M5. Is anyone getting this to work? If so, how?

Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed. Your camera should be supported by update 3.13: The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
Aperture > About Aperture
Supported by Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.13
Canon EOS-1D X
Nikon D800E
Nikon D3200
Olympus OM-D E-M5

Download the latest from here:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

Form does not display all records from table

Hi guys
I modified one form that was based on a signle DB table. I removed certain fields from the table and added some extra fields to that table. Then based on the new table I also modified the form and removed the text items related to old fields in the table and added new text items pointing to the new fields now. II have checked all the new items properties and they have don't seem to be wrong or so. But now the problem is the form does not display all the records from the table. before it used to display all records from the table when qureied but not now. It only certain records from the table containing all new data and also old data but the form does not display other records though I don't see any obvious discrepancy. Remember that the before doing the modifications, I have table back for the old, created another table that contained new records for the new fields, and then I inserted the old records and updated the new table data in the new table with these new table values. So this way I have got my new table. Could someone help why the new modified form fails to display all records from the new table updated table though it display some of them successfully.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

hi
Set the block property of "Query All Records" to "YES"
hope it will work.

Multi-Select Box Not Displaying Values Passed From Grid?

Coldfusion 8
I inherited an application and am trying to maintain and improve it... hit a snag today.
I have a multi-select box that is not displaying what I expect. The values come from a ColdFusion grid which is based off a database query.
Here is the code for the select - does not work - nothing is selected:
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="true" queryposition="below" selected="USER_IDS" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
Now if I change the multiselect to a single select like below - it takes the first item in the field list (from the grid) and selects it in the drop down.
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="false" queryposition="below" selected="USER_IDS" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
Or if I assign a variable like this and use the multi-select code it seems to work as well.
testlist = "22,26";
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="true" queryposition="below" selected="#testlist#" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
I have displayed the value of "User_IDs" in the grid and in the data entry part of the screen to see values of: 22,26
to make sure that wasn't my issue.
Do grids and multiselects require something additional? Any advice on how to resolve?

Problem was related to some javascript for the select box. There was a function for a single select box but not a multiple select box - this fixed it:
if(theForm.elements[i].type == "select-multiple"){
                    var selectBox = theForm.elements[i];
                    var sbname = selectBox.name;
                    cpvalue = String(eval('record.data.' + sbname));
                    var NotifyArray = cpvalue.split(',');
                    for (var j=0; j < selectBox.length; j++) {
                        selectBox[j].selected = false;
                    for (var j=0; j < selectBox.length; j++) {
                        sbvalue = selectBox[j].value;
                        for (var k=0; k < NotifyArray.length; k++){
                            if (sbvalue == NotifyArray[k]){
                                selectBox[j].selected = true;

Bridge not deleting loaded images from camera

Hi Adobe et all
Bridge has started to not delete the files from my camera once loaded into Bridge.
Camera is Canon 60D and has operated fine since going Creative Cloud, re the deleting process.
I would say about 5 weeks ago noticed that although the Delete Files was checked (once loaded) it now does not work. Have tried unchecking and then rechecking - worked a few times but now doesn't want to know.
Any ideas anyone - bug or an overflow somewhere?
Regards crotchertywouldlikeittowork

Any ideas anyone - bug or an overflow somewhere?
I can only repeat and support Curt. I really hope this would be as designed, to my opinion it should not only be impossible to use Photodownloader doing so, it also should be forbidden to do so on import.
It is a bad idea to use other then in camera software to delete your files (use the camera menu for the delete all if you wish so) but I prefer to always format the card in Camera to start up with a clean card.
Mind you, you really should not delete files from cards nor format cards before you are sure your files are all OK on your system and if you have made at least one proper back up of the files on a separate disk.
Not only first check the thumbs being build correctly in the Bridge Content Panel. Also randomly check files in Bridge by selecting the thumbs and see if the previews are build in HQ. Thumbs often reflect the embedded jpeg, preview reflects the original jpeg or Raw file.
CF cards are very cheap nowadays, also an extra HD is not expensive. Your precious files should be treated careful, deleting them on download using Photodownloader is very dangerous. You won't be the first to discover your files not being imported correctly while at the same time being deleted from the card...

Mountain Lion won't display .MTS files from camera SD card in the finder

OS Mountain Lion will not show .MTS files from my camera SD card in the finder.
I don't want to play them. I just need to see a list of the files so that I can copy them off the card onto a hard drive. I know how to convert them.
I have a Panasonic High Def video camera that records .MTS files.
I understand how to convert MTS files for editing in Final Cut Pro. It is not a problem. I have been doing this with no problems using OS 10.7.5
I plug in my camera, and the SD card shows up as a hard drive in my finder. I click on the hard drive icon and it opens several folders. DCIM, MISC, PRIVATE.
I click on the PRIVATE folder and subfolders open. I click on the AVCHD folder, and then go down to STREAMING, and there are the MTS files. I select them and import them into BIGASOFT video converter and convert them to .MOV files, which I can edit in FCP.
So that works great in OS 10.7.5
Here is my problem:
On my new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.3 I plug in the camera. It reads the SD card.
I see the folder DCIM and I see the folder MISC. But the PRIVATE folder (where the .MTS files reside) shows up as a QuickTime icon. I click on that, but the MTS files do not show up.
I don’t need to play the MTS files. I don’t need to know how to convert them. I can do that.
I right clicked on the PRIVATE (not folder but QT icon) and selected "show package contents." That gave me another list, with an icon for AVCHD, but when I right clicked again and selected "show package contents" the MTS files would not appear.
I just need to be able to see as a list and copy them on to a hard drive. Why does Apple make this so hard?

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO RECOGNIZE AND IMPORT MTS FILES. (No help from Apple.)
After 4 frustrating hours and about 40 useless minutes wasted on Apple Support chat, I figured this out.
Okay, here are the steps to allow Mountain Lion to see your MTS files on a Panasonic camera SD card and import them:
Click on your camera SD card.
RIGHT Click on PRIVATE icon. (This used to be a folder, now it is a Quicktime logo.)
Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
Click on AVCHD
Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
Click on BDMV
Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
Open the folder called STREAM
There are your MTS files. Select them and copy them to a folder on your hard drive.
Purchase some type of video converter (I paid 30 bucks for Bigasoft Converter and it works.)
Import the MTS files into the video converter and set the commands (This is several more steps, which you will have to figure out.) This will take quite a while for large, High Def files.
Save converted files to your hard drive.
NOW, finally FCP X will let you import and edit your files.
Thanks Apple for adding 12 steps where it should take one. “Log and Transfer” or IMPORT. You should fix this.
It took me about 4 hours of frustration to figure this out. Apple support chat service was no help at all. The girl in chat had no understanding of video files.
Thank you Apple, for hiding these files behind your Quicktime logo, thanks for adding extra steps and decreasing productivity. I've been using Macintosh computers since 1987. I would not own a PC, but Apple is not what it used to be. Why would you not just let the .MTS files show without hiding them?

PDF not displaying in Portal from UWL : cl_fitv_navigation= navigate_to_object

Hi Experts,
We are using a custom webdynpro application for the approval of expense claim.If I am clicking the link from UWL, a new window is opened and it is showing a blank page and PDF is not displaying in the browser.

We have used the class 'cl_fitv_navigation' and method 'navigate_to_object' to display the PDF.
Also I have debugged the same method and could found that the codes are different for calling the application from portal and for using SE80.
Kindly let me know what could be the issues or if I missed any parameters.Also please let me know if I need to check any related R/3 configs and parameters maintained in R/3.
Thanks & Regards,

Why can I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.
