EXIF Data Lost for Edited DNG Files

I'm having an issue where my photo's EXIF data is lost when I export the picture from iPhoto. This only happens after I edit a RAW (DNG) file and export it. If I export the RAW file before editing the EXIF data is fine. Is this a bug?
System Info:
iPhoto v.7.1.3
RAW format type is Adobe DNG.
Camera is Pentax K10D
Mac OS X v.10.5.2.

I've been having the same trouble for a few months now. All EXIF is lost, including GPS and focal info. It only occurs when you edit a RAW/DNG file and have the "save edits as 16-bit tiffs" selected in the preferences. Please, Apple, help! This is a significant issue when exporting photos! That info is essential.
thanks,
Brett

EXIF data lost when edited and exported to Picasa web

I use iPhoto 6. If a geotagged photo is scaled and exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data are preserved and recognized by Picasa web. But if the same photo is edited (crop, contrast...) and then exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data don't appear. I've tried the export operation manually and through the plugin, but it always happens the same. How to avoid this? Does it happen too with iPhoto 8? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes and no. With iPhoto 8 you can export with an option to include the keywords, titles and comments. But I don't know if geotags are included. Ask in the iPhoto 8 forum as I know geotags have been discussed there. Do a search in that forum for "geotags" or similar.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

EXIF data lost from many photos

I was looking through some old pictures taken with a Canon EOS 5D which I sold some time ago.
There were around 3800 pictures.
I discovered that 480 had no entry in their EXIF data fields for BODY SERIAL NUMBER and LENS. Other fields seem intact.
All the other photos had all their data fields present and correct.
Admittedly these pictures have been copied/moved from one PC to another more than once over time, but there again, so have all the thousands of others which have not lost their data.
I did find duplicates of a handful of the errant pictures and the EXIF data fields for these were complete.
Perhaps something has been lost in the copying/moving of these pictures.
The copying/moving has been done with both Adobe Bridge and Windows.
Has anyone experienced this phenomenon?
How might I ensure that it does not happen again in the future?
Or is there some reason other than copying/moving by which the data could have been stripped and why only two fields of EXIF data and not all of it?

I've been having the same trouble for a few months now. All EXIF is lost, including GPS and focal info. It only occurs when you edit a RAW/DNG file and have the "save edits as 16-bit tiffs" selected in the preferences. Please, Apple, help! This is a significant issue when exporting photos!

Safari shows "The network connection was lost" for all flv files on the internet. Firefox plays all

I upgraded to the lastest version of Flash to fix what I thought was a problem in Firefox. That problem turned out to be something else but now Safari will not play ANY flash content. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have even installed an older version. All of these have the exact same result. Flash works in Firefox but not in Safari. I have cleared the cache. I have gone into the flash securty settings and deleted all content. Nothing seems to change this. Anyone have any ideas?

Plug-Ins are installedand keep in mindthis problem affects all 3 browsers i am using IE9, Safari5 & Firefox 19NOT a SPECIFIC browser issuewhich is why i think it's either "Flash" (Adobe) or streaming web-site (Freedocast) issue.

How do I update Date Time Digitized to match an updated Capture Time for a DNG file?

I am updating capture time based on GPS Time (a bit OCD, I know) but when I change Capture Time the Date Time Digitized value does not change. This in in LR 4.3 and is not affected by whether on not the Catalog is set to 'Write date or time changes into proprietary raw files'. Maybe this is a problem for DNG files only.

GreSep wrote: I saw another LR discussion that said that with LR 4.3 updating Capture Time would also update Date Time Digitized but it does not do so for me on my DNGs (and as of last month ALL my images were converted to DNGs).
One or two intermediate versions of LR 3 (perhaps Lr 3.6) set DateTimeDigitized when you gave the Metadata > Edit Capture Time command. But for people managing scans in which the capture time of the original image was different than the scan time, this behavior overwrote their scan times, so Adobe backed out of that change. Before and since those versions, the Metadata > Edit Capture Time command just changes the EXIF:DateTimeOriginal and related fields in XMP and IPTC.

Changing Date and Time with dng files

My camera settings for date and time were wrong.
So some of my files in Lightroom 3 have the wrong dates.
This morning I downloaded Photoinfo 2.0.1 but it doesn't seem to want to accept "dng" files to change the info.
It will accept "jpeg" files no problem.
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks

Open the Catalog Setting panel (Lightroom menu on Mac and Edit menu on Windows). Configure the Metadata>Exif tab as shown in red on screenshot. Select your images and choose Save Metadata to File (Ctrl/Cmd+S) from Metadata menu (same menu as Edit Capture time. This will save the date/time changes back into the file rather than just the catalog.

EXIF data dropped when editing in Photoshop Elements 6.0 from iPhoto 8.0?

I've seen various posts about EXIF data issues, mostly about geo info. My question is:
Does iPhoto not include the EXIF data when you have it set to edit your photos in Photoshop Elements 6.0? The reason I ask is because I can easily see the EXIF data in iPhoto but when I choose to view the file info in PSE, it's not there - or at least in the detail that it was in iPhoto (i.e. camera make/model, aperture, ISO setting, shutter speed, etc.).
Anyone else notice this? What's going on here? Is this an issue with iPhoto 8.0?
Thanks for any insight and input.
Best regards,
Jason

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
I believe is you use PSE this way and then export out of iPhoto as Terence suggested you'll get the metadata.

From Bridge To PS To Export - EXIF Data Lost

Hi all,
I'm wondering what happens to my EXIF data when I import a Canon RAW file via ACR from Bridge to PS. When I export the file as a JPG and then right-click the jpg properties, none of the camera data is recorded. Perhaps there is a tick-box I've just not ticked?
Also, if I add keywords in Bridge, should they carry through the export process? I'm interested to know if it's possible to auto complete the keyword field in flickr when uploading an image.
CS5 with W7 and Canon 5Dii RAW.
Thanks in advance.

Can you be a little more explicit about the exact steps you're taking?
I just opened an image from Bridge into Photoshop by right-clicking a CR2 file, choosing Open In Camera Raw, then hitting the [Open] button in the Camera Raw dialog. Then I did File - Save As - JPEG, and all the camera metadata was retained (per Explorer's Properties, Details tab).
When you say "export", exactly how are you saving the file? With File - Save For Web & Devices, there's a Metadata field that allows you to specify how little or how much to keep.

Is it dangerous to edit DNG-files with different programs?

Hi there,
does anybody know if problems/damages appear, if i manage the same DNG-file in ACR and Aperture like rebuilt the embedded preview?
Aperture is designed to do nothing at th master file, but if I open a DNG-file in ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) to update the preview to see them in correct in the Finder and iView, I‘m not sure if that’s good for Aperture?

Hi!
You can edit any .html file in Notepad by right-clicking on the file and clicking '''Open With...'''
When you're done editing, just save the file in Notepad. Then you can launch Firefox, go to the Menu, and then click "Open File". Choose your .html file and it will launch in Firefox. If you edit the file and then save, you just have to refresh the page in Firefox to see your changes.

I hope that solved your problem!

Exif data lost?

whenever i work with RAW files in Aperture, i always loose the exif data. Even the camera make does not show up when i post to flickr. I have all updates for aperture.
My cameras are Rebel XT and Leica DLux3

what does the preset that you are using to export the images say about exif data ???
there is a checkbox that includes or strips the metadata for presets ...
check that first ...

Using DNG SDK for 10bit DNG files

Is there any simple way one can use DNG SDK to write 10bit DNG files?
From what I have seen, DNG SDK can only validate/read/write 8 or 16bit files. I have quite a lot of 10bit raw data to be saved and performing a 16 bit conversion would be both time and space consuming.
If there is no simple workaround to achieve this, is there any chance for future SDK versions to support nonpower of 2 pixel bit depth?
Thank you for your time.

> See these specifications for more information on TIFF and TIFF-EP
I do know that specification. However, DNG deviates from the normal TIFF in enough points to warrant explicite specifications, particularly because several cameras' raw data is compressed in like but not identical ways.
> I'm curious if CR will open 10bit DNG....
The Pentax K10D creates 12bit, uncompressed DNG in this packed format and that will be processed by ACR correctly, so I guess you won't have any problem.
On the other hand, it is interesting, that the DNG converter stores 12 and 14bit data in 16bit form, thereby avoiding the issue; a huge waste of space.

GPS EXIF data corrupted for photos taken in portrait orientation

With photos taken in portrait orientation, the GPS data is corrupted for the photos in the modified folder, specifically, the longitude is changed from -83.435516 to 83.435516. Doesn't happen with all photos taken in portrait orientation, and I haven't seen it with any photos taken in landscape orientation and modified. I understand that iPhoto rotates portrait photos and places them in the modified folder when importing. When I look at the originals with Preview, their GPS data is OK, but the photos in the modified folder have incorrect information. Looking at the GPS data from within iPhoto doesn't show a problem, but that's probably because it doesn't refresh the EXIF data.
Anyway, is this happening to anyone else and is there a fix?
I'm concerned because I've spent all this time geocoding these photos, and now I don't know which ones have the correct data, and which ones are messed up.

Larry,
I'll try that, just to be safe. I played with it some more and now I can't reproduce the problem even with auto-rotate on. So, maybe it was fixed with 7.1.4 and I'm still having problems because the photos were imported in a previous version. The release notes only say "addresses minor issues." Hard to tell what that's supposed to mean.
Thanks!

Metadata in Bridge CS3 lost after editing NEF file in Capture NX2

Entered keywords and metadata in Bridge CS3, edited NEF file in Capture NX2 and then all metadata in Bridge got lost even if I did not edit any metadata in Capture.
Original Bridge metadata are still saved in XMP file but Bridge does not show them nor can search or sort photos by them.
Is it a Bridge bug or is it connected with any settings?
Win XP, Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9, Capture NX2 2.2.0, Nikon D300
Will appreciate any help, thanks a lot.

First I renamed photos in Bridge - sidecar XMP files were created with the new filename already, added some keywords and metadata in Bridge. Edited photo in Capture but not changed the name again - the result was the Bridge does not show edited metadata and keywords anymore even all those info are still saved in sidecar XMP file. Capture apparently does not change XPM in any way.
It looks like all the problems are connected with renaming files in Bridge before editing them in Capture as if Bridge cannot read XMP after Capture added its own info in NEF file.
