Display metadata on image when exporting?

I have a client who would like to see a date & time stamp displayed in a corner of all the images when I export them from RAW files. Is this possible in LR 3.4, and if so, can someone please tell me how/where to look? I've been all over it, can't find it.
Thanks
Andy

There's a limited capability in the Print module (i.e. using the Print to Jpeg option), though not sure it will allow both date and time. A much more flexible option, which would allow you to do exactly what you want, is the export plug-in LR/Mogrify2.
Don't think LR/Mogrify 2 works in LR5.6. I can't get it to put anything on the image when exporting.

Displaying Metadata on Image

Hi, I'm new to Lightroom and was curious to see if there is any way to display some of my metadata on my image and export it so that when I view the picture later, for instance, the bottom left corner of the image would show the data and location. Essentially, I'm looking for the same functionality as in the slideshow mode, where I can create a custom text box that displays certain metadata fields on each slide. But, correct me if I'm wrong, the slideshow only outputs to a .pdf and there is no way to save the text on each image. The reason I ask is that my Grandma got a digital picture frame for Christmas and it would be helpful to her if the year, location, etc. were visible somewhere on the photo being displayed. Thanks for your help.
Chris

Yes, with my LR/Mogrify plugin.

ID CS hangs on one particular image when exporting to pdf

I use ID 3.01, and have created a two-page folder, with 10 images. I cannot create a pdf, because ID hangs when downloading one image during the export process. It's an 8-bit CMYK Tiff, one layer only, saved without compression. The only thing that makes this image different, is that it has some InDesign text and graphics on top of it. (I tried to remove all the text and graphics, and I also tried embedding the images before exporting, but it made no difference)
The image opens without any problems in Photoshop, and is editable. I have also tried to do a Save As under a new name, which didn't help. The image originates from my Nikon D70, but so do other images too.
The folder is due to be printed on Thursday, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

As this is a camera original file, are its resolution settings in a normal range? I.e., verify in PhotoShop that it's not trying to put >5000 pixels into either 0.1 inch or 5000 inch (your numbers may vary).
I've had ID behave erratically with such files, which was solved when I changed the resolution settings in PS.

Shuddering of image when exported to Quicktime

I've just edited a 13 minute video. I am experiencing such bad shuddering with the image on export to DVD and Quicktime it really can't be watched. It's been explained to me that it could be the rendering process. Here is what occurred:
1) Video was shot on Panasonic SDR-H80. Standard Def hand held camera. It records onto hard-drive in the camera. Recorded on aspect ratio 16.9. The manual says the 'signal system' is CCIR: 625 lines, 50 fields PAL colour signal.
This camera is not compatible with Final Cut Pro, so...
2) I downloaded MPEG Steamclip to convert EVERY clip into Quicktime movies and imported them into FCP.
3) Settings: Here's what I did:
Easy Set up.
Sequence Preset: DV PAL 48 KHZ
Capture Preset: DV PAL 48 KHZ
Device Control Preset: FireWire PAL (this might be the wrong setting as I imported the files?)
Playback Output Video: None (not sure how this happened)
Playback Output Audie: Default
Edit to Tape/PTV Output Video: None
Edit to Tape/PTV Output Audie: None.
In System Preferences I set my scratch disks to the appropriate folders I set up for the project.
Audio/Video Settings set to: DV PAL 48 Khz (Sequence Preset and Capture Preset). Device Control Preset: Firewire PAL
Video Playback: None (only other option was Digital Cinema Desktop Main - didn't know what this was, so left it)
Audio Playback: Default
In User Preferences I just checked the Render folder and it was set to: Render and Playback for 'Filters' 'Frame Blending for Speed' and 'Motion Blur' and Render 'Playback' 100% and Resolution '100%'
If anyone has any suggestions as to why this 'shuddering' seems to be occuring I'd appreciate your thoughts.
I am based in Australia.

Missing image when export to pdf & in High Quality Display

Customer sent me this file so I have no history. Latest version of InDesign. There are a few images that when I select the box it does not show it as linked, but there is an image there. These same images/boxes disappear when I select View>High Quality Display & they are also missing when I make a pdf. Many other images are linked and work fine. What's going on with these other images/boxes? Embedded maybe? I don't have experience with embedded images, how do I get them to show when making a pdf?

Is this what your looking for Peter?

Warning: iOS 8 Resized My Images When Exporting Via Image Capture

I have an iPad Air and I take lots of pictures. I installed iOS 8 last night. I don't like the lack of a Photo Stream and a Camera Roll, but I am willing to try new things, so I decided to clear out all the images from my iPad and start from scratch. Unfortunately, I've run into a pretty bad reproducible bug.
First I copied all the Moments (i.e. Camera Roll) Photos on the iPad to my Mac using the Image Capture app. I've been doing this for years. Everything came out fine with those photos.
I also had several iCloud shared albums so I decided to start over with them as well. Hmm, how to copy them over to my Mac? I tapped one picture and tapped "Share -> Save Image". OK that worked! So to save some time I tapped "Select" and then tapped all the pictures in the folder. Once again I tapped "Share -> Save 20 Images". Worked fine. Deleted the shared album. Did this with five other albums. Now everything is clean and I can start figuring out how this works from scratch.
OR SO I THOUGHT. Once the pictures were on my Mac, I realized the pictures I exported one at a time were fine, but the ones I exported in groups came out at odd low resolutions - 257 x 342, 256 x 384, 268 x 332, instead of the full resolution of the original pictures.
Luckily I had copies of all these pictures backed up, but this is not appropriate behavior. There was no warning that the pictures would be saved at a lower resolution. I'm not even sure the Photos app "meant" to do this. Why weren't the full sized images exported? Has anyone else had this experience? Could someone check and see if this is happening on their iPad?

The photos in this thread are the same exported files that are in the slideshow. As you advance through the slideshow(try looking at the shadows to right of the subject and his sunglasses), you'll see a change in tone/saturation that, however subtle, is quite alarming for a consistent workflow.
I always work with calibrated display profiles, and was told by Aperture Pro support to try the export with a standard, device independent profile to rule out a display profile related issue. I told them on the phone that while I'd try it, that would not be a viable solution long term for me, or any other professional, as different screens need to have independent, calibrated profiles for a consistent working environment.
That said, regardless of the display profile(I tried multiple scenarios - including calibrated profiles), the exported file is always the same on the same machines - and as I said before, distinctly unique to each machine. The display profile should have nothing to do with it anyways, as that is simple a translation of the the 'static' data onto a specific screen. I'm not saying the screens look different to me, I'm saying that the exported files are different when viewed together on any one screen.
These are all fresh installs of the same download; no settings in the software have been changed, except for what I've detailed above. The processing of the color/export should be the same from the same file in the same library with the same adjustments and the same software settings, but it's not.
Can anyone try this same test in another environment? Or does anyone know how Aperture might leverage hardware perhaps in it's processing of color?

Pages 5.0.1 rotates images when exporting PDF

In two sperate occasions I have inserted an image into a table cell, and also a shape. I've scaled the image to the size of my liking. When I exported the document to PDF (file > Export to > PDF) the PDF displays the images rotated 90 degrees and stretched to fill the size of the cell, or shape.

I thought Pages 5 doesn't allow image insertion in Table cells?
Has this changed in Pages 5.01?
Either case it still seems buggy.

Indesign CS4 adds square boxes around images when exporting to PDF

When I export a brochure created in InDesign to PDF, for some reason the .pdf file (only the PDF - the InDesign version doesn't show these) shows faint squares around images/graphics that have shadow effects applied. These appear around photos, as well as graphic objects that have a solid colour background, for example an orange circle. Some suggested rasterizing images in Illustrator and that didn't help. Transparency doesn't seem to be at fault either. Would anyone have any idea what may be causing this and how to remedy the problem?
FYI, the PDF export pre-sets in InDesign are as follows (I only mention options that are checked, the rest are turned off):
COMPATIBILITY: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)
GENERAL:
     HIGH QUALITY PRINT (modified)
     Export Layers:Visible & Printable Layers
COMPRESSION:
     COLOR IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 300 pixels per inch for images above 450 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Image Quality: Maximum
GRAYSCALE IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 300 pixels per inch for images above 450 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Image Quality: Maximum
MONOCHROME IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 1200 pixels per inch for images above 1800 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Compression: CCITT Group 4
FYI - I use Mac OSX 10.5.8 and InDesign 6.0.3.
I have attached the PDF for your review.
With many thanks,
Alex

BTW, don't use OSX's preview to look at PDFs created by InDesign if they take advantage of high end features such as live transparency.
Preview simply isn't up to the task and you should be using Acrobat or Reader.

Crop mark on image when exporting to PDF

When I export my INDD file to PDF, crop marks appear on one of the images (an EPS file) in the converted document. The crop marks do not appear in the INDD file, nor are they part of the original EPS file. Any idea what's happening and how to get rid of it?

Screen shots would help here, but the first thing I would try is replace the EPS file with a native file format, either .al for vector or .psd for raster, or PDF for mixed content.

Broken image when exported to MS power point presentation

Hello All,
I am having issues with Xcelsius, I always export dashboard into a powerpoint presentation and for some odd reason today it shows up as a broken window. The file I am working on has 2 .swf files along with a selector which switches between both files. When I export the file and it opens up in powerpoint everything works smoothly but once I save it and re-open it, that's when the broken image comes up. Please does anyone know what could be causing this issue? I need to get this fixed asap because this is for a presentation Below is what it looks like.

Hi, XcelLovr
I have experienced the same thing with Microsoft Office 2007. I had created PPT presentation, it had worked fine but after reopening it became broken. I solved this problem and now it works fine.
Unfortunately, I don't have determined solutions but I recommend to try the next things which I did:
1. Install the FP2.1 on Xcelsius
2. Decrease security in Powerpoint Macro Settings -> "Enable all macros",
ActiveX Settings - "Enable all controls"
3. Install the last version of Flash player (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/)
4. Clean temp folders - as I understand Xcelsius firstly creates tmp file inside Temp folder then Xcelsius tries to make it embedded inside Powerpoint presentation. So, the problem can be connected with this thing.
4. Try to manually insert Xcelsius objects into Powerpoint presentation:
    - Create SWF file inside Xcelsius
    - Create powerpoint presentation by using Microsoft Powerpoint
    - Save it as PPT (2003 version)
    - Open Developer Tab (if it's hidden you should make it visible) inside Powerpoint
    - Click Insert control on this Developer tab (icon with hammer and forceps) in Powerpoint
    - Choose Shockwave Flash Objects in appeared long list "More control"
    - Draw the control on a slide
    - Choose the control and click properties
    - Find Movie property, indicate destination of your SWF file
    - Make EmbedMovie "True" - it will put SWF file inside PPT presentation
   - Save and check
By the way, I found a property there "FlashVars" it seems that it's possible to integrate different Xcelsius objects inside presentation by using Visual Basic and this property.
5. Try to install Office 2003 with deleting office 2007
Perhaps, my recommendation will help you to solve the problems.

Blank Images when exporting?

Hi I exported a .pages document into .doc to send to a PC and some (not all) of the images are missing, a container of the same size being there instead. When sent back to me and opened in pages again, the images are still missing there. I am unable to find any documentation on this so I thought I would ask here. Can anyone advise what might be causing this? Thank You.
Regards

Hi xroox
Helps if you give more information. eg what format are these images and have you applied any special formatting to them like Instant Alpha and reflections which Word would not understand.
To resolve problems you examine the specifics of the issue to see what works and what does not work.
Certain images convert cleanly, others do not. Find out what is different and you will have found out the incompatibilities between Pages and Word and avoid them.

Sound slightly faster as images when exporting from PRE9 to DVD

Hi, I just finished cutting a film on Premiere elements 9.
Everything is fine. I do a final rendering by hitting the return tab. Then I edit my DVD
menus. Then I save the project and burn a dvd.
So far so good.
The dvd looks very nice.... expect when people speak, the sound comes a quarter of a second too early, before the mouth even opens, which is very disturbing. How can I fix this problem ?

I exported the project to a .wmv media file and the sync was correct on that output.
On the PRE project, I don't see any red lines above the time lines except above some titles.
The settings selected are format HD 1080i
25,00 img/s
dv 2527x576i
conversion method 24p
interlaced images
export is dv 2527x576i
does it help ?

Losing image when exporting from CS5 to PDF

Hi All!
I am working off of a file that was sent to me by our designer. I made a few small changes to some text and went to export to PDF and one (and only one) of my images is lost in the PDF!
The image was originally embedding in a .idml (mark up) file when it came from the graphic designer. I worked in that file and saved it as an .indd file (CS5) and exported. I then tried to delete the file and link it, no go. Re-embed it, still nothing. I've now tried exporting it once again to .idml and exporting to PDF with no success.
I then went in, opened the original .idml file and exported to PDF without making any changes and I'm still losing the image! My graphic designer is able to export just fine on his end (I'm pretty sure he's working on CS6) and we've had the peice printed once already, so I know it's something going array on my end.
I've also tried changing various export settings with no luck. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Is CS5 patched to 7.0.4?
Is the image on a master page?
Is it visible when you switch to Preview mode?

Will aperture auto advance to display each new image when shooting tethered?

I've tethered successfully with the Canon 6D using either Lightroom or Aperture. When using Lightroom, it will automatically load the new image for display on my external monitor. I cannot find a way to have the same result with Aperture and I would much prefer to use Aperture so the images can be imported directly into the Aperture library. Am I missing something or is this not possible? I like to work from the camera, not sitting at the computer.

Short answer: Yes.
When you initiaite a thethered session, there is a checkbox in the tether HUD that turns auto-advance on or off. The default is on.
If you have tried it and it doesn't work, what are the symptoms?

Illustrator is chopping off a part of my image when exporting

Okay so I have an image I created on a canvas that is larger than the image. When I export the image as a png, I get the image without any of the white space there was surrounding in illustrator and a very small part of the image is actually chopped off ... Is there anyway I can get illustrator to export the entire canvas or at least not chop off a part of the image if it is going to auto-crop?
Thanks

Add a rectangle the size of your artboard, or at least larger than the rest of the artwork, fill it with white but no stroke and send it behind the rest of the artwork. Save and export. The result should be the size of the white background.
Not a good solution if you want the background transparent. In that case, put a stroke around the rectangle but no fill. Then, upon export, open it in Photoshop and crop out the stroke around the outside. If you are using some other program to manipulate it, you should be able to crop out the stroke there as well.
