Bridge CS6 overwrites EXIF data and changes image orientation.

Hi,
I seem to be having issue with Bridge CS6 overwriting or corrupting my image EXIF data.
The situation is this, while in Bridge CS6, I open a folder with some images in it. There I select one image. Right-click on it and select File Info. In the XMP dialogue box I fill in the fields I need and save this file as a template. Then, I select the rest of the images, go to Tools and choose Replace Metadata. In the fly-out, select and click the template I've just created and this is where I have the issue. All the updated images now have the the same date and time. I NEVER had this happen in Bridge CS5. In Bridge CS5, while all the IPTC data was overwritten, the EXIF data was left alone. This does not seem to be the case in Bridge CS6 where both the IPTC and EXIF data now seem to be overwritten. If this is the case, need to ask why?
Hope someone here can confirm and comment on this. Cheers.

Then, I select the rest of the images, go to Tools and choose Replace Metadata.
You have to choose 'Append Metadata' this adds the template to the already existing data instead of overwriting the already existing data.
And without knowing your needs or workflow, why don't you create a template (or some extra if you have specific difference you often use) with the most common and always used info (copyright etc) and add this to al your files.
Then when in Bridge choose the metadata panel with IPTC core section in view.
Select the files you want to alter and in the Metadata click on a field with the pencil icon (means you can add info to it) and fill in the fields you need the info in. If keywords needed switch to the keyword panel to add the wanted keywords to the selected files.
Just another approach that might be more suitable and faster.

Bridge CS6 displays some jpg and tiff images overexposed--answer

This forum somehow makes it difficult to follow up on my own post. I wanted to thank the two people who provided thoughts--all good thoughts. The person talking about the different versions of ACR got me thinking, and I noticed the little circular icon on the upper right corner of the affected images. I right-mouse clicked those images and selected 'clear settings' and now those images show up as they should. Thanks, folks. But, Adobe forum, how come I had to create a new post just to say this?

You should see a reply button on the bottom of each post, if you are signed in. Look in upper right corner it should say Welcome ______ .
If you are responding by e-mail rather than from the forum I can not say as I have never used that form.

EXIF date and time data issues

I have several thousand images shot during the same trip, on two different cameras. The date and on one of the cameras was not correct. I corrected the date on the images using PhotoInfo 2.0.1
The problem is that Bridge CS3 is not recognizing the new date on all of the images. Most of the images show and can be sorted in Bridge by the new, correct date. However, any image that I altered in Bridge (rotated, cropped, opened in ACR, rated, etc...) prior to correcting the date in PhotoInfo is not showing the new, corrected date in Bridge.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Anyone know of a solution?
I have been struggling with this issue for quite a while so any input will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem - corrected the EXIF date and time and still wrong sorting. The thing is that Bridge sorts the files by "Creation Date", the date and time you also see in the Finder. So I found an application that can change that, too. But still Bridge sorts the files in the wrong order! Displays the old time, too.
After several times of emptying the cache, sorting is now ALL messed up (without any kind of logic), I don't know how to fix it.

Inconsistent import of EXIF data for RAW images

As of the last month or so I have started to notice import issues related to EXIF data within Aperture. When I import images from a card into a new album, some of the images import EXIF data and others do not. This behavior is seemingly random and affects a subset of all images. Even images taken on the same card with the same camera seconds apart can have differing behavior. At first I presumed that it was a faulty CF card but I now see this behavior across multiple cards (CF, SDHC). Even more perplexing is that the EXIF data will be associated to some images when I import once, and after reimporting the same images once agin from the same source, some do not have the EXIF data. This inconsistent behavior leads me to believe there may be a bug in the import process.
Has anyone had a problem like this? Any advice?

Yes, it is weird. My experience matches zeroorone's. No EXIF inf. showed. I wasn't using a metadata preset that showed _all_ EXIF, but a lot of it, and all the "important ones". It seems reasonable to assume that none of the EXIF was showing.
Brand new installation of everything, less than 1 week old, all up-to-date (I am re-installing everything, slowly; porting nothing except some pref and support files, and data files). Only happened once so far (but on three consecutive imports).

When you remove the obvious,
that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
Short version:
When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
ie.
if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
X
Y
all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
Best,
Jim

Bridge CS6 photo downloader freezes and will not allow import.

Hello,
I'm running Windows 8 and CS6. Whenever I try and import images from an photo card, Photo Downloader freezes. Only way to get out of dialogue box is to X out. I cannot import or set up default folders, file names, etc.. This never happened to me on earlier versions of Bridge. Any ideas? Happy to provide more specifics if helpful or relevant.

Do you have another reader? USB dedicated to specific size is most reliable.
If not you can try from camera, although this is the most error prone.
Also, it is recommended by many that you do not delete and format card in computer, but this should be done in camera each time.

How to check image GPS data and get image file from image field

Hi Naill,
First I have to say thankyou for your answer.
About my (1) question, My image fields have set to be a embedded data and I try to test many example script of image fields.I can get image content type, image size. But that not work when I used ImageField1.desc.embeddedHref.value. It's response as "Unknown Embedded URI". Therefore, image field is and embedded data. How can I access filename?
(2) In that forum. As I see, his problem is about how to automate change image field with href image file. But I want to extract an exist embedded image in PDF form to normal image file with original metada (such as extract image filed to .JPEG with GPS data. Same as before attached in PDF form.). There has any concept or solution in this problem?

Can exif data be changed in photoshop

I am engaged in a nasty lawsuit and now I have a question. So I hope you can help me further.I have a question about adobe Photoshop CS2.
I have added in the annex 2 pictures of properties of a photo. The photo is on 1-10-2010. All the exif data from the camera stand in it too (see CANON EOS 350 d still camera data). Now my question, if you the picture edited in Adobe Photoshop CS2 can then also the date of recording of the photo? I.e. this date change? Continue then the exif data exist, or disappear than the camera data if one adjusts this date in Adobe Photoshop and you only see the "updated" date taken. I have always understood, that if one changes, the date of recording the exif camera data disappear from the picture. In this case, the exposure time, the camaramodel etc.. I understand that you have a create date (exif) original (recorded)
to illustrate the RAW data of the photo:
<exif:DateTimeOriginal>2010-10-01T11:39:18</exif:DateTimeOriginal>
<exif:DateTimeDigitized>2010-10-01T11:39:18</exif:DateTimeDigitized>
and a create date and modify date (date of operation) in photoshop.
To illustrate the RAW data from the same photo:
<xmp:ModifyDate>2010-11-30T20:09:55+01:00</xmp:ModifyDate>
<xmp:CreateDate>2010-10-02T20:29:54+02:00</xmp:CreateDate>
<xmp:MetadataDate>2010-11-30T20:09:55+01:00</xmp:MetadataDate>
<xmp:CreatorTool>Adobe Photoshop CS2 Windows</xmp:CreatorTool>
In this case are the exif data for the original date of recording of the camera and are the xmp data for the dates of editing in Photoshop?
Can anyone confirm this, or is it different story. In advance, thank you very much for the effort, I would very much benefit from

Thanks, where can I find these 3 dates, when looking at the photo (picture). Because above I have an </exif:DateTimeOriginal>2010-10-01T11:39:18 and then I have a
<xmp:ModifyDate>2010-11-30T20:09:55+01:00</xmp:ModifyDate>
<xmp:CreateDate>2010-10-02T20:29:54+02:00</xmp:CreateDate>
Are these the 3 dates you meant?

Need help with EXIF date on raw images

I have just over 100 images (taken by 2nd shooter) that have the wrong EXIF date (JPEG and raw). They were taken with a 2nd camera that was off by +15hrs 57min.
There are many programs that will easily edit the EXIF date/time on the JPEGs, but they don't work with the raw images.
I've read that Lightroom can compensate for incorrect dates upon import, but after searching, I can't find any information on how to do it. Can someone please help?

I got EXIFTool working and solved my problem down to the exact second.
I was able to sync the times to within one second, based on one one particular event. One shot, taken with camera 1 was right before a handshake, while both people were extending hands, the other shot, with camera 2 (wrong EXIF date) was the actual handshake. I used this information to determine that camera 2 was 15hours 57minutes 18seconds fast.
Using EXIFTool GUI, I modified the date/time shift to decrement 15hours 57minutes 18seconds for all images from the second camera (both raw and JPEG). After this was complete, I checked the times, and the two frames (before and during the handshake) were only one second apart, and in correct sequence.
I imported the images from both cameras into Lightroom and had it rename the images based on time down to the second (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-filename).
Now everything is great!

DNG EXIF data and NEF

When importing to L2 and convert to DNG does ALL the EXIF data come across?
I ask this because if I open a NEF file with Capture NX2 I can see details
about my off camera flash groups that I have used.
L2 does not seem to show this which is OK, I'm more concerned that If I
convert to DNG then this information will be brought across in the hope that
a future version of Lightroom will display it.

You can do this with iPhoto, Aperture or any serious Photo app - for instance Photoshop Elements or Graphic Coverter.
But a note of caution: Not every app on Windows actually writes these keywords and comments to the IPTC data of the photo (none actually write to the Exif - there is no area for Keywords and Comments in Exif) so best to be sure that this is actually being done before committing.
You can view the IPTC data of a file using Graphic Coverter - and you can download a free trial. Open one of the pics and see if it sees this data.

Exif data when exporting images

Hi, I have question about Aperture writing its signature in the exif data when i export pictures to websites like Flickr, in the past i used DPP, and it always shoved "digital photo professional" under more properties, just this is missing all the rest is there.
Is there a way i can get Aperture to get that pice of information in there......?
Jess Thorsen

There's a simpler method which you might consider using.
What file naming convention are you using on import? Why not rename your camera files on import into Aperture something like " dateclient_joboriginalfilename ". You could then either use that, or export with that name plus a sequential numbering scheme.
Or -- the same as Viren's excellent suggestion -- select all the files you are going to export, create duplicate versions, with the duplicates still selected create a new Album containing all of them, then use Aperture to rename the Versions prior to export and export using the Version name. Versions don't use much space (they are text files), and you end up with an Album of neatly numbered Versions of just the photos you've given to your client +with the file names of their files exactly the same as your Aperture Version names+.
