EXIF camera metadata in filmstrip

Hi,
I'm working on macro insect photography, and I used to find it really useful to be able to hover my cursor over an image in the filmstrip and see the aperture, shutter speed and ISO pop up. It was great to be able to see at a glance what sort of settings were producing better photos. Now, however, when I hover the cursor over an image, it's the date and time of capture and the size of the image that pop up (and the file name as before). I've combed through Preferences to see if it's a Lightroom setting I can change, but I can't see anything relevant. I've googled away and searched these forums, also to no avail. I know I can go to the Metadata panel in the Library module to see those photo attributes, but that's more cumbersome than what I used to be able to do. Is there any way to revert to the seeing the aperture etc at a glance the way I was previously able to? (I'm using Lightroom 3, pondering upgrading to 4).
Thank you.

The information that you see in the pop-up on the Filmstrip is whatever you have currently selected for the Loupe View Info Overlay...go look at the View>View Options menu and have a play with the various options there. It may be that one of the two Info Overlays is already set to display what you want, in which case make sure that particular overlay is the "active" one and the filmstrip pop-up should then work as you want.

Canon XF camera metadata in CS6

Hello,
Can you see camera metadata, like Shutter Speed, F Number, Gain, Color Temperature etc. from Canon XF files, directly in Premiere Pro? I can't find this properties in Metadata Display menu.

...if I can see it in Premiere Pro, updating dinamicaly when I scrub or play selected file in timeline.
That would be nifty!

Can EXIF (or metadata) data be manipulated in LR?

Can EXIF (or metadata) data be manipulated in LR?

In the main LR doesn't touch EXIF data, there are some exceptions, you can for instance change the date in the EXIF, EXIF data is part of the original file and LR is none destructive and doesn't make changes to the original file, with this exception. If you really want to change EXIF data you will need to do this outside of LR using a EXIF editor. As far as other metadata goes, that is exactly what LR does. It will read and write metadata both in its catalog and either to the file or to a sidecar file in the case of propitiatory RAW formats. It writes this metadata in the xmp format.

I updated cs6 camera raw and now can't see the camera metadata I used to see and cannot find it in photoshop itself.

I updated cs6 camera raw and now can't see the camera metadata in raw that I used to and can't see it at all in photoshop. can this be fixed?

Lightroom removes the camera metadata on import.

Lightroom removes the camera metadata on import. It started I think when I turned on the option for finding locations through GPS data. I have since turned it off but it still wipes camera data on import. Please help.

So I don't know what happen but my photos were being put into an auto-upload folder when synced before I sorted them out. Occasionally I would start editing the photos here. At some point during that process Lightroom had asked me about auto looking up location data off the gps data. So now under metadata right where I found the camera, lens and all that information I was to find empty gps data listed. I tried removing and re adding that folder and resyncing the metadata but nothing worked. I turned off the gps setting which I thought was causing the problem but it didnt fix it. So I reloaded the photos onto my pc and put them in the proper folders and loaded them into lightroom that way. Bingo! Camera data! I dont know what really happened but I think when I changed that setting permanently caused a problem with my auto-upload folder. I will try again to load photos into Lightroom via the auto-upload folder and see if it is missing data. I will respond when I have tried that. Thanks for all the responses.

Is there a solution to the data/time camera metadata problem?

After a lot of testing I've nailed down a serious flaw with Lightroom, and I'm wondering if people have any sort of solution, either from within Lightroom or externally.
When Lightroom is used to export JPEGs, the exported files have the correct Image EXIF data stamped in the Date/Time Original and Date/Time Digitized fields - it matches the date/time of the RAW file, which is exactly what you'd want and expect.
What it doesn't set correctly though is the JPEG file Created, and file Modified dates - they are set as the date/time the JPEG export was done from Lightroom. There are many applications that sort based on the last modified date of the JPEG, and it's illogical that Lightroom wouldn't have the JPEG file metadata match up with the EXIF data. I can't think of a single scenario where you'd want to have two different time/data stamps in the image that you just exported.
Using ACDSee I can batch change the JPEG file Created and file Modified dates to match the EXIF data. It's an added step I shouldn't have to do, but I can do it. What I *can't* change in batch mode with ACDSee is the Camera Date/Time time - which, you guessed it, is stamped with the time that the JPEG was *created* during the export, not the time that the camera was set for when the RAW file was captured, which is what it SHOULD be set to. It should be stamped with the EXIF date/time original data. I think I already know the answer to this, but is there any setting in Lightroom that addresses this issue?
I've seen others recommend EXIFtool but using a command line tool isn't what I consider a reasonable suggestion. Are there any other tools that might help me here?

Jason -
 
 You mentioned that the CreateDate wasn't set correctly in your files. For my JPGs exported from LR, based on Canon CRW raws, the CreateDate does match the DateTimeOriginal. ExifTool is reasonable enough for me; here is a sample output of ALL the date/time related fields in one of my exported JPGs.
 
 
[File] File Modification Date/Time : 2007:07:28 11:25:31

 As discussed by other posters, I agree that the ModifyDate needs to reflect the most recent activity on this particular file, and is not related to the original capture time.

Correct and update EXIF camera information

I have a number of pictures for which the EXIF data do not import fully. Although the EXIF data are completely visible in Canon DPP e.g the lens will not turn up in the exif data list in Lightroom.
Re-importing the Original photograph does not work, even when I change the name.
When I try a tool like Exiftool or lens tagger, it may change existing items, but missing lines like that of the lens information will not be added when this is missing in the first imported photo.
Because the lens data is not in the editable/synchronisable list of the EXIF data I do not know how to get the data in.
Anyone who has an idea to get my EXIF list in Lightroom repaired ?
I use Lightroom 5, single version, on Windows 7

I verified that in my LR 5.7.1, no Lens is displayed by LR for this file. However, it appears that the file has been manipulated by software other than LR, modifying to not strictly conform with the standards:
1. Exiftool issues the following warning:
[ExifTool] Warning : [minor] Adjusted MakerNotes base by 26
[ExifTool] Warning : MakerNotes pointer references previous MakerNotes directory
[ExifTool] Warning : InteropIFD pointer references previous InteropIFD directory
2. The file stores many tags in both the EXIF IFD (as it should) and in the Interoperability IFD (as it shouldn't).
It's very possible that these nonconformities (especially the first one) are tripping up LR when it's trying to read the lens information. What other software has manipulated this file?
Try importing a new photo directly from the camera into LR, with no other software for downloading from the camera. Does the Lens show up in LR's Metadata panel? If not, then take a file directly from the camera's card using Mac Finder / Windows File Explorer, and upload it to Dropbox (not this forum, which sometimes in the past has modified posted images). Then post the Dropbox link.

Viewing Camera Metadata

I have a D200 and a SB800 flash unit. I am trying to view metedata in regards to the setting of the SB800 external fash unit. I notice that when I import pictures from my camera I can view the fash exposure compensation of the pop up flash. I would like to be able to know what compensation the external flash was set to.
It does not seem to matter how I use the falsh, either a TTL unit in the shoe of the camera or a remote using comander mode, the settings are not imported as metadata.
Any Advise??
Thanks,
Kevin

Are you certain they're not in there? Be sure you're viewing the expanded metadata view -- there is lots more EXIF info in there but you have to get out of the basic template to see it.
I certainly know that I can get notice that the flash did fire... I don't know that I really have paid enough attention to know whether it was at say -1/2 stop exposure compensation.

Camera Metadata and Aperture ?

Hello A2 testers ,
Does the lens info appear in the A2 metadata panel now ? Or do we still have to had it by hand even if the info is inside the exif ?
Regards,

Interesting, I just saw the lens Model metadata. I have a Canon 350D camera and 2 EF L lenses + 1 EF-S lens.
The last one put the information to the exif field but not the L lenses.
Anyway Tx !

Howto Extract Exif GPS Metadata from JPEG?

Hi,
i want to extract GPS Metadata from a JPEG.
The JPEG is a photo taken with an HP iPAQ hw6900 PDA.
Serveral application like exif-o-matic can extract the GPS latitude/longitude metadata.
As described in the Oracle interMedia/Multimedia Userguide "Chapter 6 - Working with Metadata" i use a pl/sql procedure to extract these metadata.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28415/ch_metadata.htm#CIAEFDGH
I insert a row and extract the metadata but in the exif xml column there are no gps metadata only width/height and so on.
How do i extract these informations?

I got an XML document with no GPS metadata.
With "select p.image.getMetadata('exif') from photos p where id = xx;" i got sys.xmltype(sys.xmltype)
and with "select p.metaexif.extract('/').getStringVal() from photos p where id = xx;" I got an xml string like these
<exifMetadata xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</ExifIfd>
</exifMetadata>
In the oracle xml shemata specification exists a gps section but in my example there is no gps metadata
You can find the jpg at http://public.tfh-berlin.de/~s21656/HPIM0014.jpg
thanks in advance

EX CAM metadata problem ? Files being lost

Hi all,
I am not a particularly experienced editor but i have been using PP CS5 for the last few months to edit some EX CAM (EX) files that i shot on an EX3.
The strange thing is...though everything has being going fine up to now...in the last couple of days...PP CS5 has started losing track of some of my EX CAM clip files. For example, I have a 1 hour 20min file that i have been working with (not very intensively...just doing some titling and so forth)...it was shot in an EX3 and the mp4 files spanned across two cards when it was shot. Up to now...dragging in the first "EX clip" in the series has predictably also brought in all the other "clips" and the whole file has played seamlessly as one file and in the right order. But now, when i save and shut down my PC, the next day when i start up the project, the file has diagonal gray bars across portions of it in the sequence timeline and PP seems unable to find those clip portions of the file. Down the bottom of the PP screen I get the little yellow progress bar graph saying "CONFORMING mp4"...But after it finishes this process, it still fails to find the missing parts of the EX clip.
Some times it even starts to get confused and gets the clips in the wrong order (eg clip section 6 appears as section 1).
It seems to me that PP is either not reading the metadata correctly, or the EX metadata has been corrupted. I have checked the BPAV folders and everything seems there (though i didn't open up the CUE files). I also checked the mp4's and all the raw mp4 clips are there and playable.
Can anyone tell me what is happening ? If this continues, my whole project will be screwed....i have thousands of EX clips and it would take months to drag them all into the project and order them manually.
The drive that the files are on is a Western Digital Black Caviar and it is not a networked drive. I am doing very lightweight editing with very few effects and there have been no performance issues with the system (no drive speed issues, no RAM issues, no video card issues so far). I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I should mention i am running the accelerated GPU workaround "hack" with an Asus EN-GTX260 1GigDDR5
Cheers,
Pete

Hi,
My problem is solved...thought i would post the simple fix.
All i had to do was start a completely fresh project, import the same problematic EX3 assets into that new project (via Import command) and then drag that clip into the timeline and instantly all EX clip links were restored ...and here's the weird part, they were restored not just in the new project but in ALL other projects that used those EX3 assets. ie. by doing this, my original project was also repaired. Don't ask me why...I'm just happy.
There is another thread on the same topic overe here ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/3362918#3362918 ) if anyone is still having problems.

Missing Selection in Lightroom 3.2, Metadata

In the local Lightroom 3.2 Documentation it indicates that the options for the Library, Metadata, Options include …
Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog / Viewing and editing metadata
View photo metadata
In the Library module, the Metadata panel displays the filename, file path, rating, text label, and EXIF and IPTC metadata of selected photos. Use the pop-up menu to choose a set of metadata fields. Lightroom has premade sets that display different combinations of metadata.
With one or more photos selected in the Grid view, or with a single photo selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, choose any of the following from the pop-up menu at the top of the Metadata panel:
Default
Shows the filename, copy name, folder, rating, text label, and a subset of IPTC and EXIF metadata.
All
Shows the filename, copy name, file path, rating, text label, and all EXIF and IPTC metadata.
All Plug-In Metadata
Displays custom metadata created by third-party plug-ins. If you don’t have any plug-ins installed, filename, copy name, and folder are displayed.
EXIF
Shows the filename, file path, dimensions, and EXIF camera metadata such as Exposure, Focal Length, ISO Speed Rating, and Flash. If your camera records GPS metadata, the information appears as EXIF metadata.
EXIF and IPTC
Shows the filename, size, type, location, metadata status, as well as all EXIF and basic IPTC metadata.
IPTC
Shows the filename and basic IPTC metadata: Contact, Content, Image, Status, and Copyright metadata.
IPTC Extension
Shows the filename and IPTC metadata for model and artwork releases and other types of licensing rights.
Large Caption
Shows a large caption edit box and the copyright box.
Location
Shows the filename, copy name, folder, title, caption, and location fields.
Minimal
Shows the filename, rating, plus Caption and Copyright metadata.
Quick Describe
Shows the filename, copy name, file path, rating, and the following EXIF and IPTC metadata: Dimensions, Date Time, Camera, Title, Caption, Copyright, Creator, and Location.
In the Metadata panel, if an IPTC metadata field displays an arrow, clicking the arrow is a quick way to find and view all photos containing the specific metadata.
If multiple photos with different metadata settings are selected, the metadata fields display <mixed>. To show the metadata for the photo that’s targeted (active) within the selection, choose Metadata > Show Metadata For Target Photo Only. If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, the Metadata panel displays metadata only for the active photo.
The 3.2 version of lightroom does not include the ALL choice. Is this correct?
Thanks

The All option does appear to be missing in 3.2 (not sure if it was in 3.0 or not). In any case, I usually develop my own templates manually. You can also try out the plug-in at: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-presets which should generate the desired template (including an "all" template) if you so desire. I am not related to this developer but you might take a look at his site for other plug-ins that might benefit your workflow.

Can't minimize metadata exporting from Lightroom 1.4.1

I want to strip out EXIF camera metadata when I prepare TIFF images for clients. I've tried setting the "Minimize Embedded Metadata" toggle in the Export dialogue of Lightroom 1.4.1, but this only works when I am exporting JPGS, not with TIFF or PSD files. How can I strip out camera and exposure info for TIFFs and PSDs?

hi,
If you just bought the pre then its best to contact your carrier for help. If sprint cant help you or still having prob they will usually escalate the call to palm tech itself.
On your case the prob really is difficult cause you need to sync first your data into ICAL/ADDRESSBOOK and the only way to do that is to use isync or other third apps program out there. The setup of isync is quite complicated.
Its best your guided properly..
hope this helps..

EXIF, metadata and iPhoto 6

Hello,
I am trying to understand how iPhoto 6 deals with EXIF and metadata: namely, what is preserved during import and what is lost (if anything) during export.
I read many posts on similar topics, but I am not totally clear.
I use iPhoto 6 as my photo library and Photoshop Elements for advanced editing. Up until now I have imported the pictures straight from my camera into iPhoto.
1. Do I loose any EXIF data when importing into iPhoto?
2. Are all EXIF data retained when I export from iPhoto?
3. As for metadata (keywords, comments), I believe they are lost if I export photos. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Trick question... Here's a link to EXIF Properties for your reading pleasure...
I rarely use iPhoto to download images, I will usually use Image Capture. Family type images downloaded using iPhoto and then exported into an Image Editing software will usually give me this window 'The Exif of the file is corrupted (it contains 2 orientation tags). So only one tag will be used (depending on the prefs).' I have't tried to analyze what that means but I am only working on family stuff...
Downloaded images through Image Capture will contain more info as well as the same info load up ok in my Image Editing software. (Graphic Converter)
Images used between Macs and PC's will not display the same Exif info, at least not using my current Image Editing software (2 apps) on my PC.
I think there's a ton of variables to be considered, my only advise would be to download via Image Capture, this seems to retain more file info and then import into iPhoto after doing any digital optimizing, which is what I do. So essentially, I use iPhoto to store and index finished images but I still retain the orginal in a separate folder. It's a cumbersome method but my only guarantee of retaining as much info as possible as well as the orginal image.
