EXIF imports

I recently purchased Aperture 2 and after downloading some images from iphoto, the metadata in aperture specifically "exposure" is 0. In iphoto exif data tells me which mode the image was shot in ie; aperture priority, shutter priority, etc. I have tried updates the exif from master in Aperture, but the "exposure" is still 0. Is this a glitch in the software or something that I'm not doing or doing wrong. All the other exif data is transferred ok. Any help will be appreciated.

Lightroom modifies EXIF after import?

When I import photos with Lightroom, they seem to loose part of the lens data that DxO uses to process images with. For example, a photo with the lens Nikon 12-24mm f/4 AF-S will just be 12-24mm afterwards, and DxO won't know which lens algorithm to do the processing with.
Is there something I'm missing, or does Lightroom always modify the EXIF like this?
TIA.

I'm importing as they are, either RAW (NEFs) or JPEG. I know Lightroom isn't supposed to touch the EXIF, but somehow the lens data gets missing or corrupted, and I'm wondering if theres a setting on Lightroom that does this? I notice the Lens info gets turned into the same as whats in the Lens tree in the Metadata Browser.

Displaying Exif info at the import screen

Is there a way to view exif info of each photo on the LR 4.2 import screen. I'd like to view Exif data before making the decision to import the capture but can't figure out how to do this. Ideally it would appear as a 'tooltip' when hovering over the image in gridview, or, when looking at a single image it using the "I" key should display image info like it does in other modules of LR4. Are there any plugins that could do that?
Thanks!

I don't think this feature exists.
I believe the philosophy here is import the photos, then use the power of the Library Module if you want EXIF information.

Import EXIF tag to new App Yosemite Photos

Hi
I have custom metadata EXIF tag in my photos, how can i import to keywords in the new App Photos ?
it's works for dataTime et GPS position (in EXIF metadata).
Thanks
Francois

I am still missing these photos. Any suggestions out there?

Lightroom Import: How to load Exif metadata description

Exif schema contains a description tag, which I would like to populate as part of the process of importing images from camera. Would you please show me how that can be done. I cannot locate rhe correct property in the import dialog.

Are you referring to the EXIF:ImageDescription field or the EXIF:UserComment field? When LR imports an image, those fields get automatically imported into the LR catalog. They appear in the Metadata panel on the right. EXIF:ImageDescription will be displayed as "Caption" under the Default metadata set, and EXIF:UserComment will be displayed as "User Comment" under the EXIF metadata set.

Lion corrupting EXIF information when importing into iPhoto '09?

Hello,
I use DXO to process my RAW images and get them into iPhoto '09.
Since the upgrade from Snow Leopard, my JPG pictures that had perfectly valid EXIF headers before import into iPhoto
$ jhead <path_to_file_before_import>/IMG_0343_DxO.jpg

end up with empty EXIF after the import:

This was definitely not a problem with Snow Leopard (same iPhoto '09, I have not changed my workflow for years).
Looking at a picture I imported with Snow Leopard (different camera body, but I checked with both):

Anybody noticing the same issue?

hi djiti,
DXO up to date,
Lion up to date,
iPhoto up to date (? I want to hear you say yes),
I am at a loss.
Some apps do not read the same info in the same place in the exif: iPhoto reads the "Creation Date" from "modification date" created in another app, for example; I use "A Better Attributes" app, to change the Exif in that case. But I have never seen that the Exif is "corrupted" by a photo app.

EXIF time difference once images imported into Organizer in PSE8

I have been frustrated for a very long time and did some reading on the web - The solution: Sorry it is a bug
in PSE* and cannot be fixed!!!!!
The problem: Once I have imported images into PSE8 Organizer the EXIF time is converted to exactly two hours earlier, i.e. to GMT whereas I am at GMT+2. Note that the time on my Canon 7D and my computer (on windows 7) are correct!!!!!! If I do not use organizer, I do not have the problem!
From what I have read it is a bug in PSE and there is no permanent fix, but really.... How can Adobe not solve the problem?
Will it help if I purchase another copy of PSE8, is there a PERMANENT fix available and if so, what?
I am really frustrated, as I want to use the organizer, but cannit do it as the time is of great importance to me in my wildlife photography!!!!
Anyone?
Rudi

Wonderful! This EXIF standard, 2.2, http://www.kodak.com/global/plugins/acrobat/en/service/digCam/exifStandard2.pdf explains to me that the original form of the material digitized could be a "slide", "paper", "map" and so forth; so it's a standard for many types of digital still "cameras", not just a standard for typical, portable consumer cameras. EXIF time recording is first described on page 55.
Most of the time (or all of the time for me?), in Lightroom, the "date time original" and "Time Date digitized" has been the same and changing the original date will obviously (?) change the digitized date, too.
Thanks!
PS: re-reading my post, I don't want anyone to think I was really getting RAW data from my Sony. It's a great little pocket camera but it only produces JPG's.

Inconsistent import of EXIF data for RAW images

As of the last month or so I have started to notice import issues related to EXIF data within Aperture. When I import images from a card into a new album, some of the images import EXIF data and others do not. This behavior is seemingly random and affects a subset of all images. Even images taken on the same card with the same camera seconds apart can have differing behavior. At first I presumed that it was a faulty CF card but I now see this behavior across multiple cards (CF, SDHC). Even more perplexing is that the EXIF data will be associated to some images when I import once, and after reimporting the same images once agin from the same source, some do not have the EXIF data. This inconsistent behavior leads me to believe there may be a bug in the import process.
Has anyone had a problem like this? Any advice?

Yes, it is weird. My experience matches zeroorone's. No EXIF inf. showed. I wasn't using a metadata preset that showed _all_ EXIF, but a lot of it, and all the "important ones". It seems reasonable to assume that none of the EXIF was showing.
Brand new installation of everything, less than 1 week old, all up-to-date (I am re-installing everything, slowly; porting nothing except some pref and support files, and data files). Only happened once so far (but on three consecutive imports).

Does the ipad preserve full resolution and exif data on imported photos?

If I import photos to my IPad2 using the 'camera connection kit',
a) How do I transfer those photos to my windows computer ?
b) Does the IPad2 preserve the full resolution and EXIF data etc of the photo ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

There is help in this article (but basically your computer should see the iPad as a camera and should appear in windows explorer if there are non-synced photos i.e. taken with the iPad, transferred via CCK, or saved from emails/websites etc) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
And, yes, the full photo and it's info is stored/copied i.e. they are the same as on the memory card.

Customizable EXIF Data import filter

A lot of EXIF data recorded by the camera doesn't show up in Aperture. And some EXIF data shows up in Aperture with meaningless numbers instead of clear text.
While it may be too much work for Apple to support the EXIF for every camera out there, the solution could be to integrate a customizable EXIF converter into Aperture. It is all about matching numbers to strings and Aperture could choose the right set automatically upon the camera model EXIF tag during import.
Make the sets exportable, so people can share their work.
Could look similar to the Spotlight search window, e.g. a popup to choose from the not already assigned EXIF tags, next to it a text-field to assign a meaningful label for the tag. Below either a checkbox to accept the value as is or expandable key/value pairs for the number coded EXIF data.
A + Button to add more keywords (and repeating the whole procedure above).
Come on Aperture team, it is that simple, I'm sure you could implement it in Aperture between dinner and afternoon tea.
Greetings
Peter

I am talking EXIF (data generated by my camera)
Some miising info, Camera make, Model, Lens, ISO, Focal Lentgh, Aperture, Speed, White Balance. etc etc
I veiw the miising info in Bridge CS6 its all there.
Camera Make model....Canon EOS 1DX
Aperture version 3.4.5
The problem has been happening aloong time , but I see on some images I took in 2012/11 on my Nikon D700 the Exif is there.
I have had some images off the CANON EOS 1DX so its not the camera.

EXIF at import; some OK but some MISSING?

LR 1.3.1, PC with Windows XP. Imported several dozen images all made with the same HP camera. All of the image file numbers are sequential. Only a few contain the EXIF info. For instance, numbers 570, 573 have EXIF but 571 and 572 do not. Previously imported images (already in LR) from THAT SAME HP camera DO have the EXIF and all the Canon EXIF has always been fine.
Fortunately, these are personal images, not business, but I'm curious and cannot find a reason for the missing info. Any idea about a cause?
Joia

PS7 and Elements 5 both have the capability to remove the EXIF, depending on what you do with the images inside of them. I'll bet that's exactly what happened.

Does importing GPS track override EXIF tags?

Hi,
I recently took a bunch of pictures on a trip with a camera that embeds GPS location tags in photos' EXIF tags. These photos are now in Aperture and show up well in the "places" view.
A friend also had a GPS tracker on the trip and gave me a copy of the ".log" file. It would be cool to import this into Aperture so that in "Places" I can see the full track in addition to the photos along the way.
My question is: if I do this, will Aperture try to re-locate the already-geotagged pictures based on the track? For a number of reasons (e.g., slightly-mismatching camera clocks, or photos taken on short side-trips that the GPS did not come along for) the existing tags are much more accurate...
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
Not a lot of Places experience around here, but in my educated guess, Aperture will not do that automatically. If you choose to have Aperture tag your locations through its Places function, then you will probably be replacing that embedded GPS data.
I.e., importing a track log is a separate function from assigning pictures to the locations in the log. It's your choice when to do either.

White balance doesn't match CR2 EXIF colour temperature after import?

Why does Lightroom make it's own choice of white balance for "as shot"?
My CR2s from both a 40D and previous 350D all exhibit a shift in colour temperature compared to the EXIF data. It's not even consistent and a sequence of shots can visibly differ.
I know that camera auto white balance has its issues, but it does look like the camera makes a better initial guess than LR....
Thanks,
Barrie

The numbers are dependent on the mathematical model used to model the distribution of wavelengths in the lightsource. The details are rather heady, but indeed, the black body temperature is not as well defined as you might think. This is because a lightsource is seldom an actual black body radiator (not even the sun is due to atmospheric absorption, diffuse scattering on dust particles, and Raleigh scattering on the air molecules). If it were you would not need the "tint" number to describe it. There are quite a few different models for this in use and so it is not strange to see different numbers for the same conditions. In ACR/lightroom they are even dependent on the camera profile if I understand this correctly. Bottom line is that what is neutral in the camera system is neutral in the ACR/Lightroom number system. That's all you need to know.

Which date data - EXIF, XMP, IPTC - does AP read on import?

I'm importing some film scans and files created from digital cameras into my Aperture library. Most of them already have IPTC matadata added, this would have been done when the scans or JPGs were originally made.
I'm having trouble where the IPTC date and XMP are different. This will be because the IPTC date is the date the image was taken while the XMP date is the date the file was created. Aperture always wants to use the XMP date which is invariably the wrong date!
For example, I have a JPG file which - according to Photoshop's File info - was taken on 30 March 1997. Under the 'Advanced' tab in Photoshop CS5's File info I see:
photoshop:DateCreated: 1997-04-30
xmp:CreateDate: 2009-10-07
The xmp:CreatorTool is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and the xmp MetadataDate and ModifyDate are the same are the CreateDate (which all include the time but I don't think that's relevent here). There is no other date metadata.
So I made this JPG by exporting it from Lightroom on 07 October 2009. Now when I import it to Aperture the IPTC Date Created is show as 07/10/2009, not 30/04/1997.
So Aperture is treating the file creation date (xmp:CreateDate) as the date the image was made? Which, to my mind, is wrong unless you only ever have digital camera files in your library. Or Lightroom was wrong to write the xmp:CreateDate as the date the file was created? But being as Adobe control this XMP space...
What do you think?

I have just purchased MetaData Browser, an iPad/iPhone app which allows me to see the metadata actually copied to device. Most all of the data is there EXCEPT the photo's File Name, Version Name, Caption and a few other IPTC fields. This additional data is on the original picture stored in my Aperture library on my MacBook. Why would these fields be excluded in the transfer process? Guess I'll have to take this up with Apple directly. Of course, even with this data included, Apple's Photos app does not recognize ANY of the metadata or make it available to the user in any form.

IPTC Date from the file properties (EXIF) at import?

Is it possible to fill IPTC Date Created Field from the raw-file properties at import to LR4?
It would be nice – and time saving.

Thank You Geoff & Ian
My mistake. I had a checkmark in the empty date-field in my standard metadata-preset. I now understand, that the date-field shall be left blank with no checkmark in the preset to get the date correct in IPTC. Thank You again.
