Changing camera model in metadata

I have a series of scans of slides. One of the disadvantage of being, blessed with years, is that I took a LOT of slides. And one of the advantages of same blessing is that most photos were taken with one camera... back when cameras were expensive watch-like machines.
At any rate, the scans don't identify the camera. I'd like to edit that, and don't seem to find a way in Lightroom to accomplish that.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Changing camera model showing in the Dock on the iPhoto icon

Hi, something that has been bugging me for over a year, I at one time had a Canon G3 camera and this is what is showing in my dock area on top of the iPhoto icon. I now have a Nikon D70, it would be nice if I can get this in the place of the G3. How do I get this all in order?
Cheers, S.

Turn on your camera. If your camera needs to be set to a certain mode to transfer photos, do so now (check your camera manual if you're not sure how). The camera (or more precisely, its media card) appears on the Desktop as a mounted volume.
As I was using a card reader the iPhoto icon holds my old camera model, plugging my Nikon directly from the camera changes the iPhoto icon to the my Nikon model. Too easy.

How to change camera applied Metadata - Camera Model.

I have 1000's of imported scanned film images in my Aperture library. The camera model metatag reads Nikon Cool Scan (name of scanner I used). How can go in and edit this this tag to change to actual camera model used to take photo? I'd like to do a batch change of the metatag - but this one is not available to change. Any ideas?

A little application called PhotoInfo by Jim Merkel claims to edit such EXIF data, but I have not had success with it making changes stick for creation dates. I am in the same boat with scans, but don't want to record camera data in the scanned file (I find it helpful to know the device that produced the actual image). I want to change the creation date to the picture's creation, rather than the digital rendition of it.
Regardless, look into PhotoInfo and the batch change options it has.

Camera model not supported. how do i change this

I have got a new laptop and have installed Elements but when i try to open a file it says camera model not suppoted. this worked on my old laptop how can I change this

Use Help / Updates to update the Camera Raw plug-in. You must have done this in the past on the old laptop, but when you installed on the new laptop, the ACR version is the original one that shipped with your Elements, rather than the more up-to-date one.

Adding camera make and model to metadata

Hi All,
I have a lot of slides to scanned and imported into Lightroom. How can I tag these images using the metadata field Camera Make and Camera Model to reflect my camera make/model.
Thanks,

Jim,
I found it a bit intimidating also, but needed a way to add lens data to some images, so bit the bullet and gave it a try. Had some learning problems along the way, but discovered the ExifTool forum. The author is extremely helpful and always seems to answer w/i 24 hours. The more I use it, the more I like it. Give it a try, it's very powerful.

Metadata doesnt populate Camera Model in iPhoto anymore

I have a smart album setup that collects all pictures taken with "Camera Model - is - Apple iPhone". I has worked up until the beginning of 2009. On January 1st, everytime my iphone imports pictures into iPhoto it doesnt have "Apple iPhone" as the camera model, it is just blank and i cant seem to find a way to edit the info back in. So now my Smart album doesnt update with new pics taken with my iphone, can anyone offer some assistance on how to make it keep the camera model upon import or show me how to edit that info so iPhoto will recognize it?

Iphoto was the same at the time, iPhone is the same...
If you look at the post jan 1st pictures that were imported from an iPhone and you click "Show extended Photo Info" from the "Photos" Menu the Camera model and make fields are empty.
If you look at the pre Jan 1st pictures that were imported from an iPhone and you click "Show extended Photo Info" from the "Photos" Menu the Camera model and make fields state "iPhone" , "Apple", which makes my smart album work.

CS5 RAW Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.

I rented a Nikon D600 & D610 and CS5 cannot open the RAW files, i do not have any issued with my D700 RAW files. I am getting this error message -

Can anyone please help?

Sorry, I am on a MAC. I downloaded the link you provided and it's giving the same error message as above. Running CS5.
The error message you gave is from Camera Raw. I thought you said that DNG Converter didn't work?
The link I gave you is an article on getting your raw files to open in Camera Raw. Did you read it? I lazily gave you the link because this is one of the most common problems in this forum, and I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I could break it down for your specific case, but I was hoping you could read through the article and work it out for yourself.
But, here goes:
Your cameras are newer than your raw converter, so it won't understand them.
CS5 comes with Camera Raw 6, which can only be upgraded as far as 6.7.1. You can find out which version of Camera Raw you are running in three ways: in the settings title bar (Cmd-K), in the plug-in title bar (press F to start/stop full-screen mode to reveal the title bar), or Photoshop's Help menu (About Plug-ins).
Downloading raw files from newer Nikon cameras with old versions of Nikon Transfer will actually make them unreadable in Adobe software. They can be fixed with a free utility. Again, it's all in the linked article. You should be using up-to-date Nikon Transfer, or Adobe Photodownloader to avoid this problem.
All being well, you have good raw files on your computer. You can convert them to dng using Adobe DNG Converter. IF you are on OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard, you CAN'T use the latest version, because Adobe stopped support. But, if you ARE on a later OSX, you can download DNG Converter 8.6.
DNG Converter is designed to convert FOLDERS of raw files at a time. You select a folder of raw files, and tell it to create DNG copies. BUT, you have to set up the converter before you start using it...
If you load up DNG Converter, you'll notice a button labelled "Change Preferences". Clicking this, you'll see the first option is "Compatibility". Here, you must select the appropriate setting for the version of Camera Raw you HAVE (see above). If you can't work this out, just pick "Camera Raw 5.4 and later". THEN pick a folder of raw files and convert them to DNGs.
All the above is already in the article, but I gave you a personalised response. If you still can't get it to work, please give us more than one sentence. Tell us exactly what you tried, and describe exactly what happened. Which version of OSX you're running, what device and software you downloaded your raw files with, how you used DNG Converter, and so on.
I really should be in bed.

IPhoto does not recognise the raw files(.NRW) from my new Nikon camera model P7100,any advice please as running latest version of iPhoto(9.2.1)

Since changing my little everyday camera to a new Nikon Coolpix P7100 iPhoto cannot import any of the raw files(.NRW),says it does not recognise them.
I have updated iPhoto to the latest version(9.2.1) but still cannot open them.
Any ideas please

The raw from the P7100 is not supported at this time.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:

Changing camera profiles in LR 2 and ACR 4.6

How does one change the camera choices in the Camera Profile panel in LR 2 and ACR 4.6? The only camera specific model that shows up for me is the Nikon D2X, and I shoot a Nikon D200.

I'm not interested in profiles that don't match my camera, but I was interested in using the D200 profile since that's what I shoot with. I've never heard anywhere that the D200 and D2X render identical files. so, when I talked about choice, I merely meant that I'd like to have the choice of using the profile for my particular camera. When Adobe lists the supported camera models, they do not say that one camera profile fits several different models that have entirely different sensors. I know for a fact that the D200 and D40 do not render identical files, yet both are restricted to using the D2x file, all of which seems a bit strange to me.
I don't expect an exact match, as I know that Adobe cannot simply copy Nikon's algorithms. Since these Adobe profiles are an approximation because of that, I would think that a profile closer to my model would be available. I know that all thw Adobe software gets from the camera is the white balance, and everything else in the Adobe profiles is generated bt Adobe to try to match the Nikon profiles as close as possible without a direct copy.
There is a major difference in how the various cameras render images, just open them in any of the various incarnations of Nikon Capture, and you'll see exactly how the camera renders an image. In conclusion, it does not look like Adobe supports the D200, and in spite of their claims to the contrary, what we get is a generic profile that is supposed to fit models with entirely different sensors.
Why even list the D200 if indeed they do not allow me to use a profile that more closely resembles the one from that model?

How do I read the camera model and manufacturer from IMAQ in LabVIEW?

Hello All,
I have a machine vision application for automated test. I am required to save the image for each test for quality purposes. Since LabVIEW interfaces the CameraLink camera thru the IMAQ driver, various cameras can be used without changing the LabVIEW application. I need to store the basic configuration information, including camera model and manufacturer, with the image. I am able to read some parameters from IMAQ (like bit allocation and shutter speed) using the Read Attribute VI, but unable to read model and manufacturer.
Does anyone know how to read camera make/model from IMAQ in LabVIEW?

With this VI, any camera attribute that you can see and set in MAX, you should be able to see and set in LabVIEW. These are attributes that are defined in you camera file. Since Model/Make is not an "attribute" that you necessarily set, it is not included in your attributes tab in MAX.
If your camera file included a model attribute, then it would show up in MAX under attributes and you would be able to read it using the above-mentioned VI. The only thing I can suggest is perhaps use some File I/O instead of IMAQ VI's and read your camera file, if the ones you have are consistent in structure.
Hope this helps!

Unable to change Date Created in Metadata

Please help with my first post...
Unable to change Date Created field in Metadata.
I am a newspaper photographer sending .jpg pics with captions to my office from my iMac. They are viewed at the office on Windows PCs using SCC MediaGrid.
When changing Date Created in Metadata Invalid Format warning appears "Format should be ISO 8601 XML compliant, that is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm[:ss][tz] (eg 2006-07-11T13:14:30-07:00)"
If 2009-09-26, for example, is entered then exported pictures opened up in Photoshop or shown on SCC MediaGrid do not display the date.
To get dates to show up I first have to open a pic in Photoshop, go to File Info, enter 26/9/09 in Date Created and Save As.
Next I have to Import this into Aperture where the Date Created shows as "20090926".
Using Lift Metadata and Stamp Metadata the date can be transferred to other pics.
Now when I export these pics the date does show up in Photoshop and SCC MediaGrid.
Can Date Created be typed straight into field in Aperture?...Very important when pics go into archive on a server.
Also if I hit Return key in a Metadata Caption, to type on the next line, both lines will appear as one with a small square in-between them when viewed on SCC MediaGrid on a Windows PC.
Thanks in anticipation.

Nick I don't generallt use the IPTC metadata, so I'm not sure I will be too much help.
What version of Aperture are you using? I tried both things and I didn't have any problems with the latest version of Aperture on my Mac.
I was able to enter a date into "Date Created" both with and without the time-zone adjustment. Can you tell us the exact string you tried to enter into the "Date Created" and exactly when you get the error? I tried to enter my time zone (eastern US) as "-5:00", but Aperture wouldn't let me enter the 5 and popped up the error message when I typed that key. I had to use "-05:00".
As for the caption, when I hit return, Aperture ends my edit. I cannot reproduce your described behavior of actually getting a new-line into the field. I suspect your problem (although I don't know how you get to your problem) is one of the following:
1) The IPTC standard doesn't tell if the software should use a Unix-style end-of-line (which is a line-feed), or a DOS/Windows style end-of-line (which is carriage-return followed by line-feed). Aperture may put in the Unix-style and your Windows programs don't know what to do with it.
2) The IPTC standard does indicate the end-of-line style, but either Aperture or your other programs don't follow it.
or
3) IPTC Metadata doesn't actually support end-of-line, so Aperture should not allow you to enter multiple lines, but it has a bug so it does allow you to do that.
Can you tell us where exactly you are editing the caption? I tried it in the inspector pane (on the left) in the "Metadata" tab, and then I hit the "IPTC" button at the bottom of the tab.

I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Element

I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

How did you try to install ACR 8.8. The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma. This one tells you what your camera needs: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html This one tells you what version of software you need: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6. (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13. Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter. Download and install it from here for FREE: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890 Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use. That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom. DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless. There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

I have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance

i have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance. If not, is there a different route i can take to get those recordings in to my mac pro?

See if the cam shows up under Devices in the Image Capture app.
Image Capture is located in your Applications folder.
Launch Image Capture then connect the camera.
The camera should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.

My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

What kind of Mac to you have? This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire. If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
ETA: Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go. You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.
