Bridge - Exposure Camera Data (Exif) metadata display problem

I'm working with raw files with thumbnails displayed in Bridge Content. In Bridge preferences > Metadata I have Exposure and Exposure Bias Value checked on. (These are the first two lines in the metadata panel.) When I select a raw file in Bridge the Exposure and Exposure Bias Value metadata are displayed in Bridge Metadata panel as expected. When I open the raw file in acr 7 and make some edits, click Done in acr and return focus to Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail is updated but the Exposure line in Bridge metadata panel disappears -- the Exposure Bias Value is the first line of the metadata panel. If I clear the settings, the Exposure line and data return to the metadata panel. I also have 'Exposure' selected for one of the additional lines in thumbnail metadata, where the exposure data is correctly displayed even when the exposure metadata line is not shown in the metadata panel.
I do not see this problem in pscs5 with acr 6.7 beta. Is there some setting I need to check or is this a bug?

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 and Camera Data (EXIF)

I need to know how, using Bridge and its metadata routines, to include EXIF data into a record set.
I am a digital archivist of old, long out of copyright books, manuscripts and other ephemera. When scanning an old book I scan them as signatures. Each scan will have two pages which are split, i.e. page 1 and page 4.
Page 1 (the original scan) contains the camera data. The page four image, copied out of page 1, does not contain any camera data when saved. After processing page 1 I add to it the applicable metadata for the volume and export it as a template, applying that template to the record set.
However, the Camera Data (EXIF) does not get applied to all the pages in the record set. Is there any way around this?
Cordially,
A. Wayne Webb

Bridge CS4-Changing date in metadata

I had the wrong date and time in my camera (Canon 1D M III). How can I correct this in the metadata?
Thanks,

If I remember correctly, from discussions some time ago, there is no option to change "date shot" in Bridge. Might be able to do it in other programs.

OCE with metadata - display problems

Hello, I'm having problems with an OCE that retrieves metadata informationon Hyperion Intelligence Designer 8.3.2.138. I have 2 databases on the same server, both are MS SQL Server 2000.One holds application data, the other holds Metadata [for severaldatabases]. My OCE basically connects to the application database to retrieveapplication data and uses the same connection to retrieve Metadatafrom the other database. What I then do is: - Create a new document with the OCE described above - Table names are shown with the correct metadata aliases - I add one or more tables to the query - Column names are also shown with the correct metadata aliases - Column remarks can also be viewed and are correct (no tableremarks have been configured) - I add one or more of the columns to the request line in thequery and hit process. What I see is: - The correct number of rows are retrieved but the display isincorrect (the text at the bottom of the screen will typically say'50 of 50 rows' or similar; this number is always correct) - Any numeric columns of size > 4 are displayed as blank - Any varchar columns are displayed as blank - All datetime, date, decimal and text fields are displayedcorrectly. - If I take any of the non-displayed columns and make it a computeditem it displays. For example, if I had a varchar(50) column calledBrokerName, if I put BrokerName in the request line of the query,nothing is displayed. However, if I do an LTrim() or an RTrim() ora Lower() or an Upper() or a Reverse() or a Substring() etc... onBrokerName, the result displays as you would expect. I get similarresults with numeric columns and the associated numberfunctions. All rows of data, no matter what the type, are displayed correctlyin a query that uses a (different) OCE that connects to theapplication database without also connecting to the metadatadatabase. I have been trying to resolve this issue for a day and a half andam hitting a brick wall. Can anyone out there help? Many thanks,Keith

hi bob robson,
for installing 10,4 tiger, you need an Apple which has built-in fireWire. this means that at least iMac 400 or a later model. 640 MB RAM is enough for installation. By the way, iMac G3 (640MB) is not an enough explanation to classify your mac.
skype 1,4 needs:
Macintosh computer with G3, G4, G5, or Intel processor
Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or newer. (The widget requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.)
128 MB RAM
20 MB free disk space on your hard drive
Microphone
Internet connection (either dial-up: minimum 33.6 Kbps, or any broadband: cable, DSL, etc.)
so if your iMac is 400Mhz or more and have 10.3.9 or 10.4.x installed, yes you can use skype.

Revel date editing/metadata display feature

The Revel app for IOS allows you to edit the date of a photo, but this feature does not seem seem to available via the Revel website, Windows 8.1 app, or Android app. Is this something that will be added soon? Also, I think there needs to be a way to edit metadata, or at least SEE it.

I was playing with it, checking it for you on a project with one MXF HVX-200 clip and it just crashed. Haven't ever tried to change my meta data before, no need, unlike you the HVX writes it for me.
Can't help ya man. Might be a coincidence or might be real problem.

Bridge CS6 not reading file metadata

Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4, Mac OS X 10.9.2, Photoshop 13.0.6 x64.
In Bridge, only the File Properties info appears. Data for other categories such as IPTC Core and Camera Data (Exif) no not appear although checked in Preferences, but after opening a file in Photoshop the info is all there in the File Info window. If I try to append or replace data using a template, the choice is grayed out. Keywords I have created in the past appear in the metadata window, but none are checked for saved files. Thumbnails are also very slow to build. Even reading old files from a CD in Bridge fails to show data like EXIF.
I've tried deleting and rebuilding the cache, trashing prefs, no help.
Maybe this is caused by a problem with OS X 10.9.2? I don't believe I had this problem before thatchange a few weeks ago.
Thanks for any help, Ross

For legacy files, which seem to be pre-2007, the metadata fields seem to be read-only, I can't enter or change a field such as description, for example. Even newer folders have spotty reliability, some files show metadata and others don't.
I restored my cache from a backup and that helped some, but didn't really solve the problem. Next I guess I'll try to restore my boot drive. The CS6 installation (not CC) was via a download, so I'm not sure how to reinstall that, and I don't want to lose all my customized windows, keywords, etc.

Camera data subject distance missing in CS6

This is another strange problem. I noticed that recent shots with any of 3 Nikon cameras, D3, D4 and D300s lack the distance data in CS6 Bridge. But older shots do. I narrowed the change to about June 10, 2012. Before this they have the subject distance and June 12 pictures and later don't. It seems that this is the time when I configured or installed CS6 which was a free upgrade after getting CS5.1
When I open CS5.1 Bridge though, even the most recent shots have subject distance.

Curt Y,
Thanks for your response. I was aware of the thread you reference. In fact I have implemented the excellent workaround described by Paul Riggott in that thread.
Nevertheless that thread fails to provide an answer to the original question: Why is subject distance correctly displayed in Bridge 5 and that field completely absent in Bridge 6.
In my case this is true for both native NEF files and when the same file is converted to DNG.
It is true for both old and recent files and for files from D700 and D800 cameras.
In the case of these two cameras, the Subject Distance is found under the Makers Notes but is not found under the Exif data as reported by ExifToolGUI. This last finding confirms the observation of DLC (reply #4) in the cited thread.
However if one examines the advanced tab in file info, one finds the following:
In both Bridge 5 and Bridge 6 there is an entry under Exif Properties labeled "Subject Distance"
So the question remains: why is this datum displayed in the Camera Data (Exif) Panel of Bridge 5 but not in Bridge 6? And what can be done to correct this glitch?
Addendum / Correction
I have just discovered the following: Older (raw) files which had been previously opened with Bridge 5, regardless if they were edited or not, when now opened in Bridge 6 do show the Subject Distance in the Exif Panel.

CS6 Bridge "Lens Specification Data" appears incorrect (W7 Pro 64Bit SP1)

Viewing Camera Data (Exif) in CS6 Bridge
Noc ahgnges to default settings applied in CS6 Bridge
Observed Results:
The new "Lens Specification Data" under the Camera Data (Exif) appears to be be correctly reporting the lens type but shows the lens as "f/0" which is incorrect
This appears to be the case with pictures taken with two different lenes both of which are reported as f/0
Further up in the same tab the "Lens" data is correctly reported for the lens type and maximum aperture.
Expected Result:
Wasd to see the maximum aperture of the lens reproted in addition to the lens type, which I would ahve expected to be the same data as reproted under the "Lens" information higher up in the same panel.
Which begs the question what is the difference between the "Lens" information and the "Lens Specification Data" meant to be ?
Observed these results with the following two lenses:
EF-S17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
System Info:
Won't let me paste in :(

Hi Baichao,
Thank you for your response.
The camera in questions is a Canon 7D (actullay I shoot with a pair of 7D's and the results are the same for both cameras), the files are both .CR2 and .JPG, with the same results being seen for both file formats. the images have not been edited in any other applications but viewed immediately after donwload to the PC from the memory card.
I have also viewed these and other older images in both the CS6 and CS5 versions of bridge for comparision purposes and see the same differences irrespective of how old the image is or if its been previously edited in CS5 for both .CR2 and .JPG files.
In addition I also don't see an indication of the subject distance displayed in CS6 bridge, although the option is selected and works as expected in CS5 bridge.
I will send you a seperate email with screen shots showing an example in both CS5 and CS6.
Regards Mark

Problems with the "Date Created" Metadata in Adobe Bridge

Hi everyone.
I am currently working on an electronic photo library for our organization. Part of my mandate is to add a Date Created metadata on all the photos since it is very important to know when the photo was taken. Some photos were dated since 1980s. Since we do not have the digital version of the old photos, we end up scanning these and, in effect the date specified on the "Date Created" was the date it was scanned.
I have the date of some of the old photos when it was taken, but for some, I only have the month and the year (sometimes, just the year). Inventing a day and a month is not an option.
Is it possible to enter a month-year or just the year on the Date Created field under Metadata?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
.m.u.r.d.o.c.h.

The problem is that dates are recorded in the file in different schemas. Bridge is displaying the XMP Date Created field which was likely derived from the original Exif date (probably DateTimeOriginal, but may be DateTimeDigitized). This will be the date recorded in the file by the scanner software at the time it was scanned.
The IPTC Date Created field is handled differently. It seems counterintuitive, but if you work in the news business you will know that news photographers often use the IPTC Date Created field more like a "date submitted" or "date scheduled" property, so that photos for a particular shoot which may have been captured over multiple days will sort together. Because of this, most image browsers will not update the XMP Date Created (or Date Taken) fields when the IPTC Core date is changed.
You can edit the original capture date in various programs, which should cause both the Exif and the XMP Date Created fields to be updated. Two that come to mind are Lightroom and BreezeBrowser Pro (for Windows). I've found that with certain images it is necessary to use both programs to get all the dates to line up.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Bridge display wrong RAW data in metadata panel

Create a .PSD file with a raw file opened as a smart object. (CR2 files in my case)
Save the file.
Open the file.
Edit the PSD file and change some basic raw settings.
Save the file.
Look at the Camera Raw metadata in Bridge. It shows the raw meta data from the raw file originally opened. Not the current raw settings of the raw smart object in the PSD file.
With my currnet files Bridge shows the process 5.7 settings since that is how the PSD was created. The file(s) have all been switched to process 6.7 in the PSD file so the metadata displayed is even further from reality.
I believe the current raw settings of the raw smart object should be shown since they are the ones used to render the image. The original settings have no meaning in the current document.
I reported this ages ago in CS5.

I'll try to reproduce this; thanks for reporting it... We are not ignoring you, we just have a lot of forum posts to reply to and it takes a bit of time. We are trying to ensure everyone is loaded and installed first, then bugs, and the rest....Really, it is not a black hole you are posting to! Sorry for the delay.

Problems with Metadata displaying in bridge.

all of a sudden my raw files shown in bridge do not show the metadata info. It does show the information in camera. If I make any changes to any files in bridge it does not show the changes in the thumbnails but if you open the file the image is changed.

This would mean you are using embedded thumbnails.

Bridge reports impossible Camera Data

I'm new to Bridge (CS6). There are certain instances when I am puzzled as to how Bridge handles the Camera Data it reports for each photo. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. Example:
I was running some fill-flash tests using a Nikon D3200, a Tamron 150mm-600mm f/5.0-6.3 zoom lens, a Tamron 2x teleconverter, and an ancient Vivitar 283 with a flash extender. (With the teleconverter, the Tamron f/5.0-6.3 becomes an f/10-13 lens.) An incident meter registered f161/3 at 1/500 for ambient light. For all test exposures, the lens was kept at 600mm, shutter priority at 1/200, evaluative (matrix) metering, ISO 400.
When I examine the exposure information in Bridge, I notice that:
Some exposures show an f-stop between f/13 and f/14 at 1/200, and a focal length of 1200mm, which is what I expect.
However, some exposures show an f-stop between f/2.5 and f/4.0 at 1/200 with a focal length of 10mm. Again, the lens was fixed at 1200mm (600mm x2 with teleconverter) and an aperture of f/13 wide open, so this exposure information appears to me to be impossible.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Use some other software that reads and displays an image file from your camera meta data. So you know what your camera has written. See if the error is in Adobe software or your Camera's firmware. EXIF data is generated in your camera.

Which cameras save autofocus EXIF metadata

When I try and use the Show Focus Points overlay, it appears that Aperture does not have that information. I find nothing in the manuals for my Sony Cameras about saving this EXIF data, and I was wondering if it is not saved, or if Aperture just does not understand it.

"Yes" seems to be safe answer. But I want to emphasize that we still don't know whether the information
- is not recorded, or
- is recorded but not recognized by Aperture.
You could fire up the app Sony includes with their cameras and see if displays the focus area used by the AF system. You might be able to extract this and store it in Aperture as a custom metadata field (just as values -- you'll never get these to show as an overlay in Aperture).
My guess is the information is recorded in the "maker notes" section of the EXIF. Aperture rarely (perhaps never) uses the maker notes.
