Control metadata at exported versions

how to export versions with iptc annonations but without exif camera data.
it’s only possible to choose between export with or without metadata, but not to control which metadata is included in the exported version.
sometimes i prefer if clients don’t see my camera exif infos.
hope there’s a solution in aperture. sure i could contoll it afterwards with other software, but it should be possible in aperture.

Same problem here. In one project 4 out of 33 pictures were completely off the mark. The common factor seems to be that the corrupted images had been cropped, and Aperture messed up the area to crop at export time. Exporting them individually afterwards worked fine. Exporting two other projects with non-cropped images worked fine.
As this is the kind of processing I intended to use Aperture for, it is very annoying to say the least. I was about to buy the non-trial version tomorrow, but I now hesitate a lot - especially as I have not got any answer to my question in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1402056&tstart=0 , which potentially could have achieved similar things using AppleScript.
Did anyone log a bug report for this yet?

  • Missing caption metadata in Export Version

    I have a new Canon SX260. When I export version from Aperture 3.3.2, caption info isn't included in the exported file. Location and EXIF are included. Exported versions from my older Canon S2IS and from my iPhone do have caption info.  I can export the metadata into a text file OK. Export preset has "include Metadata" checked. I would expect that Aperture creates a new JPEG with space for all the metadata even if the original file didn't have the space.  Any suggestions to getting the caption included in the exported version?

    In a separate thread, this solution was provided.  Now all the captions that I exported show up int he caption field when I re-import the photos.
    Re: Exports Don't Include IPTC/Copyright Info
    Nov 8, 2012 6:39 AM (in response to jas)
    I had jpg (not raw) images in Aperture from both a Nikon D5100 and a Nikon AW100. I added captions to the images and then exported them as jpegs. The D5100 jpgs show the caption under Preview, the AW100 jpg do not.
    I found a work-around using the free program exiftool (google it) and Terminal.
    In terminal I changed to the folder which contained my AW100 images and then entered this command to re-write all the IPTC data.
    exiftool -iptc:all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe  ./

  • Oracle 10g R2 - Metadata Issue With Version Controlled Resources

    We are trying to utilize the Oracle 10g R2 feature that allows user-defined metadata to be attached to XML DB resources. However, we are encountering errors when we try to append/attach metadata to a version-controlled resource (VCR). The following steps were followed:
    1. Register a new schema to be used for metadata (XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema).
    2. Add a new resource to to the XML DB and make it version controlled (DBMS_XDB.createResource and DBMS_XDB_VERSION.makeVersioned).
    3. Checkout the newly created version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB_VERSION.checkout)
    4. Add metadata to the version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB.appendResourceMetadata)
    However, after step 4, the errors shown below are encountered:
    ========================================================
    begin
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qmxStrCopy: INLOB 2], [], [], [],
    ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XDB", line 890
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    ========================================================
    The steps followed for adding metadata to a resource were taken from Chapter 26 of the "Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide 10G Release 2" (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb_repos_meta.htm#sthref2302).
    Is is possible to append and maintain metadata to an XML DB version controlled resource (VCR)? If so, what are the correct steps to do this? Note that if this is tried with a resource that is not version controlled, then no errors are encountered.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Ernie-
    Thanks for responding...but still have a oroblem. Here's what I'm doing:
    In Aperture I choose a "version" that has been Adjusted (croped, etc.).
    - Go to "File"...'Export"..."Version"
    - In next window for "Export preset" I choose "JPEG-Fit within 1024x1024"
    - Click on "Export version"
    The exported version then showes up in "Finder" under "Pictures"
    - Next I open "Mail" (version 5.2)
    - Adderss email to friends in England.
    - Click on attachment (paper clip)
    - Choose my "version" from "pictures"
    - Back in Mail, click on "Format"..."Make Plain Text"
    - Send
    My friends receive it as "bmp", not JPEG, with no Metadata.
    If I do the same procedure but under "File" choose "Export Master", they receive it as JPEG and also the Metadata.....BUT, of course, no Adjustments, such as croping, that were made to the "Version".
    What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to save the "Version" as a "Master" and then send it as a "Master"?
    Thanks,
    Nelson

  • Exporting version with metadata

    Hi there,
    this is probably an easy question. If I have a file (RAW or JPG), make some changes on it using aperture, including changes in the metadata such as adding tags and possibly GPS data, then how do I export the edited version so that the metadata of the export reflects the changes I have made within aperture?
    Currently I command click on the photo and ask to "export version". I select the "JPG - original size" option, which, upon inspection, has the box "include metadata" ticked. But the exported file only has the metadata that came from the camera. Keywords are always gone and GPS data is often (?) gone.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Gil

    Apologies. Just found an earlier thread which deals with this bug in aperture:

  • Can I choose what metadata is exported?

    I'd like to export photos with some metadata (copyright, date, etc...) but not with others (camera model, lens model, etc...) Is there some way to control what metadata is exported with a file?

    You do not have much control over that.
    You cannot prevent the export of the EXIFmetadata tags. They will be exported with originals or edited versions, since they are stored in the original image file.
    When you are exporting original files, you can disable the export of IPTC metadata, for the edited versions these data will be included.
    Also, in the Preferences > Advanced panel is an option, to enable/disable the export of location data with the images.
    One way to prevent the export of certain IPTC data would be to simply duplicate all versions to exported, collect the duplicates in an album, and flag them,so you can easily recognize them again. Then batch change all duplicates of the image versions and erase the metadata tags that you do not want to export. Export the edited duplicates and delete them afterwards again.
    This will only worrk for the IPTC tags; to prevent the export of EXIF tags you would need to clear the EXIF tagswith exiftool or a similar tool. Aperture will not allow to change them.

  • Problem in crystal report viewer control's toolbar "export"button using SSL

    Hi,
    I would like to ask. My project is using BO XI Release 2 and VS-Studio 2005. Initially my project doesn't use SSL... At that time when i view the report with crystal report viewer control and can export (using built-in toolbar "export button"). Now project is using SSL and canu2019t export the error is

    Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.u201D
    Actually this error can solve "Cache-control" change to "no-cache". But I donu2019t know in crystal reportu2026
    Anyone can help ???
    Thanks

    In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and ensure "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is unchecked.
    Default is to have that option checked. 
    It was considered a IE security issue that IE saves all content to temp disk location unencrypted, even those pages served by HTTPS (for example, let's say you use HTTPS to download your bank info, and it's stored to temp disk for someone else to retrieve later).  So more recent versions of IE implemented that option setting.
    How that option setting works is strange - it downloads the file, saves to disk, then deletes the copy from the disk immediately, before passing it to the application responsible for the MIME type.  So the application tries to open a directory path to a non-existing file.
    Issue is specific to IE, and it's not something you can control via the SDK.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Cannot Export Versions with Aperture 3.3

    After upgrading to Aperture 3.3, I lost the ability to Export Versions of my files. Exporting Originals works just fine, but I need to I export jpegs for my work. What I end up getting now is a jpg with a totally black image. The metadata is intact and the size and jpeg format are correct, but the image is just black. I have already tried Repairing Permissions and Repairing the Database in Aperture with no change. I have not yet tried "Rebuild Database" but I do not think that is the problem because I am able to Export images from my Aperture Library files using iPhoto without a problem. Please help.

    I am exporting with a preset that I have set up. Here are the settings:
    Image Format: JPEG
    Image Quality: 10
    Size To: Fit Within (Pixels) Width 1024 Height 683
    DPI: 132
    (No Gamma Adjust)
    Color Profile: Use Source Profile
    (Black Pint Compensation NOT CHECKED)
    (Show Watermark NOT CHECKED)
    Okay, the good news is that I tried other settings and it worked. Tiff works just fine and exporting the preset jpeg setting (full size, half size) works just fine. I then deleted the export setting mentioned above and created a new one, but it does not work.
    So, I am almost there. I appreciate your suggestions so far as some of them worked. Any more ideas?

  • Cannot export versions

    Using latest version (3.5.1) of Aperture on Mavericks, all latest updates installed on MBP Mid 2012, export versions stopped working completly after succesfuly exporting cca 1500 images.
    Originals I'm trying to export are RAWs (Canon EOS60D .CR2, latest firmware on the camera), referenced images on local drive.
    Have tried different locations for export, fixing permissions on Aperture Library, reboot the machine, nothing helped. Have tried multiple and single image export. Wouldn't suspect low memory, 16GB installed.
    I'm trying to export full size JPGs with into custom folder name with version filename. Have tried on several aperture libraries, none works. I'm stuck

    Thanks in advance for any idea on how to make export verions work again.

    You seem to have already tried a lot of the right things.
    You didn't mention 'Repair Database' so I would try that option next (as always, ensure you have a good backup). 'Repair Database' is accessed from the same screen as 'Repair Permissions.
    If that option doesn't help then, my next step would be to test it with a new user account.
    First creat the new account from system preferences.
    Then log out of your current user account and log in with the new one.
    Run Aperture from that account (you'll get a new empty library so will have to import a few photos).
    What this lets you do is see if the issue is system-wide (for all users, even though you may be the only user) or thw issue is localised to your account.
    If it still doesn't work with that new account, it's probably system wide. If it does work, the problem is localised to your user account, and there are additional troubleshooting steps you can follow, like removing presets and preferences. See HT3805 for trouble shooting basics and how to preform these.
    The fact that it stopped working after such a large export is possibly interesting. Exported versions is a peice of metadata that Aperture tracks, so it's easy to imagine how a small glitch may have caused a number of problems. However, repair database should sort any minor database problems out.
    Have you rebooted your machine since that export? Perhaps a temporary chache needs clearing.

  • Aperture not exporting metadata when exporting masters

    It says here (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302943) that "by Design" Apple doesn't allow you to embed the metadata into an exported master file. Any idea why this is 'by design'? It doesn't make sense.
    Their 'work around' is to double your work by exporting masters (with no metadata) and then exporting versions (say, as JPEGs with metadata) and keep both files together.
    I am trying to archive copies of Masters along with their metadata and want to avoid duplicating work that is grossly inefficient.

    Well, DNG export could really be the option for
    people who require raw + added metadata in one file.
    There's another thing that interested me _soooo_
    much in your reply% it's about connection between raw
    files and editorial. I don't shoot for magazines yet
    (though I will be soon enough ))) ) but I'm surprised
    clients require raw. Or it is your preferrable way of
    giving your work out?
    As a PE, I require RAW files, as 9.9 times out of 10 my color house is going to be better than the photographer at preparing the image for print. This is the same for most of the higher quality publications out there.

  • Keep video metadata after exporting MOV files

    Hello !
    I use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
    I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
    Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
    If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?
    Thanks

    Cragen,
    A very Good Day!
    Lightroom does not read metadata from the video files till the version 5.3.
    However, the functionality may came as a feature in the coming version of  Lightroom!
    If the same is not visible in Lightroom make sure the files are copied to the system and then check the same in Lightroom

    Let me know how it works.

  • Crystal Report/STRUTS: Error (404) when clicking on Control Buttons (Print, Export, Next, Previous, etc...) on report viewer

    Post Author: jwenny
    CA Forum: Deployment
    Need help badly!!!
    We are using the crystal reports plugin for STRUTS.
    We are able to display the report in the crystal report viewer.  However, when we click any control buttons (print, export, etc...), then we get:
    JSPG0036E:  Failed to find resource /Report-viewer.jsp
    We then moved Report-viewer.jsp to the WebContents folder (root directory) and got a different error when we clicked any control button:
    Error:  400 page not found
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?  For instance, is there a setting or parameter that needs to be set?
    Greatly appreciate any help!

    HI,
    Whenever we print the viewer does an auto postback, I believe due to this some of the values are getting missed. Moreover we are referring to the viewer and reportdocument object, it seems. So can you try this simple code in an application to see if it helps:
    ReportDocument rdoc = new ReportDocument();
    rdoc.Load("C:\TASKECrystalReports\Intraday.rpt");
    rdoc.SetDatabaseLogon("uid","pwd");
    rdoc.SetParameterValues("parameter name","value");
    CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = rdoc;
    Helps?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    you have a database version 10.2.0.1.0, but SOA needs 10.2.0.2 or higher. Update your database using the latest patchset.

  • In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

    In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

    I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
    Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

  • Poor image quality on exported version

    I am trying to export versions of my photos to a folder on my external drive. Every time I do this the resulting jpg is washed out and has poor resolution + a ton of noise. The resulting image is substantially lighter than the images in my aperture window, yet the histogram does not indicate that the images should be that light or washed out.
    The images are all starting as RAW images. The export settings are for image quality 12, 300 dpi, sRGB, original jpg. I have onscreen proofing turned on and set to sRGB. My print lab said that the image quality could be 10, but when they looked so horrible I bumped them up.
    I had Aperture for a long time before upgrading to Aperture 2 in March. From March to August I did not have any problems, so this is a more recent problem. I have not yet upgraded to Snow Leopard. Please help!!! Thanks!!!

    Hi
    a. make a DiskImage first and test this with Apple DVD-player.
    (File menu and down "Make a DiskImage")
    b. I only use streamingDV - no .m4v or like (may be it works - I don't know)
    else
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    Yours Bengt W
