Elements 11 Editing EXIF for film scans

I have started shooting analog (film) photos and importing the results to my IMAC as scanned images.
This populates the EXIF with all the scanner details. I would like to edit the EXIF to show my analog camera and film details instead.
Is there an Elements-compatible tool for this or a stand-alone editor?

Since there is no data to read from films photos, you have to enter manually all the information you may wish to save. With digital you can automatically get
- exposure and camera settings
- date taken
and many more.
If you know important data like film type, exposure and camera settings as well as date taken with scans, you'll have to enter that data manually.
In both cases, you'll enter manually other personal information like places, events and persons.
Once all that information is entered in the catalog, you can save it either to the files themselves (in the metadata section) or to an xmp sidecar file for raw files. With scans (jpegs or tiffs), that data must be saved to the files via the 'write metadata to files' command in the organizer.
Does this help ?

Editing metadata for 35mm scans

is there any way to edit the metadata fields for tiff scans that are imported into aperture, specifically the grayed out fields (shutter speed/aperture/ISO).
Most of my work pre this summer has been film, and I have no metadata for any of those images.

I looked at the data dictionary for Aperture (using Script Editor), and saw this:
EXIF tag n : This class represents an EXIF tag of an image version.
elements
contained by image versions.
properties
name (string, r/o) : This is the name of the EXIF tag.
value (anything, r/o) : This is the value of the EXIF tag.
IPTC tag n : This class represents an IPTC tag of an image version.
elements
contained by image versions.
properties
name (string, r/o) : This is the name of the IPTC tag.
value (string) : This is the value of the IPTC tag.
So basically the EXIF data is all read-only... there's no easy way to change it.
If you were REALLY a database expert you could probably write a program that would issue SQL statements to Aperture's built-in SQLite database to change the values in the tables, but... that's just not practical and the chances for bad things are pretty high.
I'd suggest some custom IPTC fields for this.

Editing 8 MM film scanned to .AVI file

I've had a bunch of 8mm film scanned to .AVI format. I want to edit it into a nice movie or two. In the event viewer and project viewer, the clips seem fine, but when I play the clip, it gets cropped -- no matter which of the three aspect ratios I choose. Is there a way to make a custom crop for 8 mm film?
Thanks.

When film is transferred to video there is a choice -- capture the full film frame which because of film judder may cause film's "frame-line" to become visible. Or, zoom in slightly, and eliminate this possibility. This would mean the top and bottom will be cut-off when viewed on a TV because it is assumed you'll watch your videos on a TV which as "over-scan."
It sounds like when you put a clip in a project it is cropping as would a TV. This it would do so you can play video on a computer which does not have "over-scan."
You could try creating a 16:9 project and put each clip into the project as a PIP over black or even colored mattes. Then export at 720p. You could make this interesting by varying the placement of the PIP and even putting title captions around the video.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 will not recognize Epson V600 Photo scanner for film ?

For some reason the WIA support in PE9 will only recognize the scanner for reflective prints not film, why ?
But, in the PE 6 the Epson V600 scanner is recognized for film scanning,, in professional mode and automatic.
Any clues ?

Editing EXIF with external editor from Elements 10 Organizer

Hello there.
I'm experiencing a kind problem.
I'm editing exif gps coord with external program.
Organizer config set to "Edit with GPSView", where GPSView is external GPS coords setter.
I'm setting the coords, the edited file copies itself, so, I have 2 files - with old GPS, and new GPS.
Then, I'm making "Flatten version set" - and then I have 1 file, with new GPS.
After that, when I'm tryin to edit same file's GPS once again, Elements turning GPS values to old values, which were before any exif edit.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a bunch of files to edit GPS, and its really breaking me - it is unable to edit even GPS with these "Elements".
Please, help.

Just a suggestion as I am not using GPS tagging : did you try the option to 'write metadata to file' (shortcut Ctrl W) after flattening the version set ? Does it make any difference?

Lightroom 4 doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9/10 for external editing

Hi,
I own Photoshop Elements 9 and recently decided to install trials of Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 10. For whatever reason, Lightroom doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9 or 10 for external editing. I need to make sure this functionality works before proceeding with purchasing Lightroom and possibly Photoshop Elements 10. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Matt

List of supported Nikon cameras. I think you're out of luck for tether-shooting.

Notes on Nikon cameras
If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are only downloaded to the computer.
Only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time.
Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6 are not officially supported for the D3x, D90, and D5000, but they can still work.

Will the base 13' Air suffice for Film editing for a college student?

I was considering the machine due to it's portability and low entry price but I am concerned about it's possible lack of editing power for my college courses.

That is completely subjective. What are college level films? How do they differ from any other type of film?
Go out and buy a base model 13" Air and test it. You have 14 days from date of purchase to return it for a full refund. If it doesn't meet your need then either get one with a faster CPU and more RAM or buy something else that will work at the speed you want. It is not about will it do it, it will do whatever you want. It is about the speed it will do the work you want it to do. Again this is subjective as only you can tell if it is working fast enough for you.

HELP! Extremely Worried for Film Project (lost files) (please read urgent)

Okay so here is the dilemma-
Here I am tonight, plugging away at the editing process for a short film that I filmed in California back in February, and have had various other film producers and buddies filming at random times out there since. I had all of my footage on a WD Storage drive (this included pretty much all of the video files), and I had already imported all of the files into premiere and was about to begin editing the footage with them. Suddenly, I noticed that I was going low in memory space on my hard drive that I was working on, so I saved my Premiere File, then selected it, dropped it over into the WD Storage Drive that also contained all the footage from the film, and clicked on it to open it from there. However, when I opened the premiere file this time, it asked me to located "MVI_6104.mov", the first .mov file out of 400 that I had in there... and I couldn't find it. I looked for the source files in the new hard drive I'd just moved my premiere file into (where they just were at), i looked for them in my old hard drive, and in the three additional hard drives I have sitting next to my Mac... but the files had simply vanished without a trace. I checked the trash, nothing, and I havent deleted any files all night. They're simply gone, and I've hand combed every inch of every hard drive... will someone please help me? Without this footage I am dead and I am willing to get it back at all costs. Already ran a few of the free data recovery scans, but to no avail.. they picked up nothing. I literally have no idea what happened and I am currently having a panic attack. Thank you so much for your time and I really hope you can help me find an answer.
Thanks.
-Colin

@JudeCotter-
The files used to be in a clearly marked folder on my hard drive labelled "Death Rides The Apocalypse Source Files" (the name of the film). I've searched every hard drive I own for the files and nothing. I can't find even a trace of them existing in the first place. The entire folder that used to be there is gone along with the files! Very strange.
@shooternz-
Thanks. I searched the external drive first with data deletion recovery services, then by myself and I hand combed through all of the folders and video files. I even specifically searched the drive for file names in case I missed something, but nothing. I run OS X 10.6.8, and Premiere Pro CS5.5 The original source files were on the external hard drive with a tetrabyte of space that I attempted to move the PPro project onto, but now their original folders, names, files and everything have literally vanished. The project file doesn't matter since I just started editing but I lost all of the footage in there. The external hard drive still has around 765.3 GB of space left so I doubt I killed it simply moving a project over , but you never know. It was odd, when I moved it, the "Move In Progress" window with the twisting progress bar flashed for a second that it was to move 186.5 GB (which would accurately be around the amount of footage we had), but suddenly flashed and just moved it over in a second. Maybe this will shed some light. I'm extremely confused and worried. Thank you.

Does photoshop elements enable save for web for a batch of photos?

does photoshop elements enable save for web or ready for web for a batch of photos ?

Hi Patonabike,
You can batch save images as jpeg, png, tiff etc. using Process Multiple Files. This feature will even allow you to batch resize them (as long as they are the same orientation and aspect ratio). However, the resulting images may be larger than what you would get if you individually did 'Save for Web' because 'Save for Web' removes the photo's exif data (and Process Multiple Files won't).
With that said, it depends how you are editing your images and the results you are looking for, if you just want to rescale them or batch edit them - this is one way.
Hope it helps!

My suggestion:
Read the help file carefully:
http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/workspaces.html
Now have a look at the the organizer display layout. Just over the main display panel where thumbnails are shown, there is a drop-down menu to choose the sort order. I assume you are on a recent version of Elements? If you are on PSE12 or 13 you can choose the chronological order (ascending or descending), the filename order, or the import batch. Additionally, if you are viewing an album you can have a manual custom sort.
My other advice is that before you use the organizer, you take the time to read this help file carefully:
Elements Organizer Help | Creating and editing catalogs
The organizer is a very power tool if you understand what it can do and if you don't have misconceptions about how it works. It's a powerful toolset based on catalogs. It can handle and manage folders and files, but that's not its main purpose. Its ability to manage the information included in the exif metadata of your files and the important information you enter with categories, keywords, captions, notes, ratings or the way you include pictures in albums, creations, stacks or version sets is very powerful.

QM for Film Mfg. Industry

Dear All,
I want to know about Quality Management in Film Mfg. Industry / Paper Industry.
Please tell me, where i can get information for this.
I have a query in QM for Film Mfg. Industry.
The problem is:
Film production is in ROLLs. Base unit of measure is KG.
I want to segregate defective area inside the roll, while usage decision. area is in sq.meters
There is no extra field for this in standard transaction, as per my knowledge.
Please help.

I can't help you specifically with your question. But you might want to look at SAP's Mill products solutions. What you describe is very similar to what happens in the mills that produce things like carpet or rolled sheet metal. The carpet and metal are made in rolls measured in sq. ft. but very often managed and stored as EA. Defections are related to certain areas of the roll.
The following is from SAP's documentation on this solution, bolidng is mine.
Purpose
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Will Premiere Elements edit a HD video from a 5D Mark II

Hello,
This may sound like a dumb question but I have been unable to determine it in my research so I thought I would ask. I am looking for a simple software to do minor edits on a HD video from my 5D Mark II. I really don't want to spend 500.00 on software right at the moment so I'm looking for a cheaper solution. Will Premiere Elements edit one of these videos? It seems like the Macs do the job but I don't have a Mac Any help would be appreciated.
Kim

The bigger challenge isn't just that this is Quicktime video -- it's that this is video from a still camera, which often uses non-standard codecs to create more compact video files.
You can try to convert the video to DV-AVIs using one of the free tools listed in the FAQs to the right of this forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
But you definitely won't be able to edit video directly from that camera in Premiere Elements without running into lots of problems.
