EXIF when exporting?

Hi there,
it seems that iPhoto is not capable to add the EXIF data when exporting a file. Is that true? And that the only solution is some EXIFtool hack?
Thanks for any advice!

There is a way to write keywords and comments to the orignial files for use by applications that can read the EXIF and IPTC fields. See the first part of Tutorial #1.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Lightroom 4 - GPS coordinates not saved in EXIF when Exporting JPGs

    I have updated GPS coordinates using the new Map module but these are not output with the EXIF when I export JPGs.
    I have ensured that Remove Location Info is unchecked.
    I welcome any advice
    regards
    JWW001

    As requested I attach screen shots of the LR4 metadata panel after I have updated the coordinates in LR4 and also the LR4 export dialog. Also a JPEG of the exported photo which still has the original coordinates untouched from the camera along with the EXIF coordinates. These are incorrect as the camera hadn't acquired the satellites. LR4 has successfully exported the copyright information.

  • Problems with EXIF when exporting portrait style pictures.

    So, I just recently upgraded 09 with the intention of using it to organize my photography work. I didn't work much with 08 and didn't have any photos in it so I don't know if this has always been a problem or not. When I import photos that have been shot vertically, in portrait mode, something is being done to the EXIF data, other than it being rotated. My camera has auto-rotate on and they were originally transfered with the software Canon gives you. Anyways, when I export these photos, whether by dragging tot he desktop or File >> Export, and then open it in another program, such as preview, and attempt to view the EXIF data, it's nonexistent. I should mention that these photos were not edited in any way in iPhoto, just imported and then exported. Also, the EXIF data can be viewed in iPhoto, just not anywhere else apparently.
    I've sort of solved the problem just by trial and error but I still don't know what causes it. When I select these photos and use "Revert to Original", they export perfectly and have all the EXIF data. Also, if I edit the photo somehow, enhance, etc., the EXIF seems to come back when I export. This only seems to affect the photos shot in portrait so I can only imagine it has something to do with how iPhoto deals with the autorotate function on already rotated photos. I decided I would try to import directly to iPhoto rather than import from camera with the Canon software and then import into iPhoto to see if it was the Canon software but the same issue occurs. So, my options at this point are to just select all my photos that I import and revert to original or turn off autorotate on my camera and sift through my photos and manually rotate them. The former isn't a huge deal but it would be a lot more convenient if all my EXIF didn't get erased every time I take a portrait shot in and out of iPhoto. Other than that, I don't seem to see any option to change how photos are imported but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
    I was wondering if anyone else has this issue, or if it was a problem in iPhoto '08. If it matters, my camera is a Rebel XT.

    When iPhoto rotates the auto rotated photos from your Canon the modified file that gets creates loses much of the EXIF data. To get the EXIF data included in the file you have to export the file to the desktop via File->Export->File Export and select the option to include the title and keywords.
    Another way is to turn off the auto-rotate in the camera, upload to the desktop first where you can losslessly rotate those files with PhotoTool CM orXee. Then import into iPhoto. That way no modified file is created and if you drag the photo to the desktop you'll be getting the original file which contains the EXIF data.

  • EXIF data filtered when exporting to Flickr

    I've noticed that some EXIF data seems to be filtered out when exporting photos to Flickr via Aperture's built-in Flick exporter.
    For example, if I export same photo using Flickr's upload page, then using Aperture's built-in Flickr exporter, then re-download original back to my computer, the fields like "lens size" are missing from the copy exported by Aperture.
    There's few other fields that are silently filtered out by Aperture. Looking at the differences between two copies of the same photo re-downloaded back from Flickr, examples include fields such as digital zoom, subject distance, focus mode, macro mode, firmware version, serial number, owner name (and the list goes on)...
    While one could argue that some fields contain personal information, there's my real name on my Flickr account, so having serial number or owner name in EXIF data removed is kind of pointless for my use case. Also, there's tons of photos I exported in the past to various photo sharing sites containing these headers anyhow.
    I'd really like to preserve some interesting and useful (technical) fields such as lens size or subject distance. Is there a way to tell Aperture "I don't care, the world already knows this stuff, don't filter EXIF info when exporting"?

    Hi Raja,
    Not sure, what version are you in, but must not be in latest.
    You have to write a e-text to get csv/txt of the desired format.
    By default, if you are not in latest version, you will see some data when you select csv without E-text template

  • When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost. What rational is behind this?

    When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost.
    What rational is behind this?

    Thanks for your reply on this!
    One issue seems to be with Foto Library app itself. When running an auto-correct there it looks like EXIF will be stripped more or less completely.
    Second issue is in iPhoto app on iOS when working on RAW. When exporting to the roll the EXIF is modified in a way. It was keeping most of the EXIF in case of Canon 5D MKII that I tested today, but the EXIF data is definately changed, e.g. lens type is different because maybe some fields are ignored there. Also the images are silently scaled down by 50% which is kind of annoying.
    The initial problem was observed with a Pentax K7 and I will need to reproduce the issue in this config I assume. Maybe tomorrow I can do this.

  • Keeping Exif intact when exporting to Jpeg?

    Howdy -
    What setting do we need to avoid - so that Exif can be displayed when exporting to jpeg?
    example - posting jpegs on a photo forum
    thank-you ~

    If you want EXIF data to be available, do not check "minimize Metadata" upon export.

  • Where can I give feedback regarding Aperture? I'd love to see the ability to removes EXIF data when exporting, especially to social networks.

    Robert,
    For any normal Export, simply cilick the list of option and further click on Edit.  There deselect to include Metadata, and there will be no EXIF data exported.  But no copyright info either.
    The option already exists to do what you want.  Once a normal Export has deselected that, I believe even exports via plugin for say FB will not have it either.  I tested with an export to SmugMug after deselecting in an earlier ordinary export, and EXIF info was not transmitted.

  • Lightroom looses EXIF Thumbnail when exporting

    I already have deselected "Minimum Metadata", but Lightroom 1.3 as well as Lightroom 2 Beta doesn't embed an exif thumbnail when exporting.
    Is there any trick to do that? Other Data like camera model or shutter speed isn't affected, and the original image imported into lightroom had an exif thumb.
    Thanks for reading

  • Which Metadata option when exporting from Aperture?....

    When Exporting a single Original (never edited) CR2 file from Aperture 3.6 to my Desktop there are 3 Metadata options :
    1) - Don't include IPTC
    2) - Include IPTC
    3) - Create IPTC4XMP Sidecar File
    As I have no idea what 'IPTC' etc is, which option is best to later Import into Capture One, please?

    IPTC are all Metadata you assigned in Aperture or in other applications, as opposed to the EXIF metadata embedded in the photos by the camera. The camera tags would be in the EXIF.
    The get an idea, what is in clouded in EXIF and IPTC, open the Inspector in Aperture in the sidebar and switch the view to "IPTC info". That will show you a list of all tags, that will be included, when you export from Aperture with IPTC included.
    You can only export modified versions with IPTC, since Aperture will not modify the original file on export. That is why you can add a sidecar files, that lists all tags, and many applications are able to read this sidecar file, when you import photos.
    I want the camera EXIF data to be exported with the image file.
    The camera EXIF are already embedded in the original image files. When you export the originals, the EXIF will be included, independent of your setting for IPTC.
    You can test, what will be exported, by opening exported files in Preview and opening the Inspector (Tools menu > Show Inspector)
    You can see all EXIF and IPTC tags that have been exported with the photo.

  • Loosing CREATION dates of pictures when EXPORTING

    Hi,
    When exporting pictures into other folders I loose the creation dates of these pictures. For the exported pictures I get the date of exporting instead of the dates when the pictures were taken.
    Drag and drop doesn't help either.
    Is there a way to keep this valid information for the exported pictures?

    You need to distinguish between the FILE info and the PHOTO info.
    The Finder quite correctly gives the creation date for the file: that file is created when you export the pic.
    The Photo data is preserved in the EXIF information, and although the file is a copy, the correct EXIF data is exported along with the Photo.
    For an example of an EXIF viewer check out EXIFViewer
    Bear in mind, that if you have edited the photo it will reflect the date of editing in the EXIF data. If you want to the actual data you'll need to examine the Original File.
    If you want to edit the Finder info on the File to reflect the EXIF data, there are several apps that will do this, including A Better Finder Attributes X . But there are others.

  • Pages 08 and Hiding Extension when Exporting

    Hi. I am still using Pages 08. Often, I export my documents in PDF and Word format. When exporting, there is a little checkbox labeled "HIde extension." However, when I leave that checkbox unchecked and export the document, Pages still hides the extension. I then have to go the Finder, the Get Info panel and uncheck the box there. Some days, I export a number of documents and I'm finding it frustrating that Pages won't display exported files with their extension showing even when I've told Pages not to hide them. If there's a solution, please let me know. Thanks.

    This behavior was described several times but it never surfaced on my machine.
    As far as I remember, nobody described a workaround to get rid of this erratic behavior.
    Of course, don't hope any change to this app which was replaced by iWork '09 in january 2009.

  • What is the difference between formats when exporting playlists in iTunes?

    The available options are plain or unicode text, XML, M3U and M3U8 when exporting a playlist. Is there a difference in "functionality" of a particular format or is it merely a matter of compatibility with a particular platform or software? In particular I am trying to figure out if a playlist from iTunes would be able to be read and "processed" on a flash drive plugged into a late model car stereo which has a USB port.
    MacBook 4,1    (13-inch Early 2008)
    OSX 10.6.8
    iTunes 11.3.1 (2)

    .m3u8 should be the same as .m3u but with slightly different handling of Unicode characters that fall outside of the standard set of ASCII symbols. iTunes can import and export all three formats but .m3u is probably the one your car stereo will be looking for. iTunes will export a playlist with absolute file paths for each track however for your purpose what you probably need is all of the tracks placed in the root of the drive and to edit the .m3u file to exclude all but the filename so that a relative link from the same folder as the .m3u identifies the file.
    I wrote a Windows only script for this task a while back, as discussed here: Re: Copying playlist to USB ?

  • SWF animations not working properly when exported as PDF from InDesign

    I'm using InDesign CS5 and have created a document that I want to add interactivity and animations to. I've created buttons and page destionations, etc, which all work perfectly  when exported to a PDF but the simple animation that I wanted to include don't work. The animations have been created in InDesign then selection exported as a SWF file and then imported and placed in InDesign and then exported as an interactive PDF where the animations either don't work, haven't been picked up or don not work as they should. What am I doing wrong, how do I get the animations to work correctly?

  • TOC in PDF does not include Link OBJR tags when exported from InDesign

    I'm using InDesign CS6 to export a book file to a tagged PDF. When I run the accessibility checker in Acrobat 9, I get errors about items not being contained in the Structure tree. These missing items are links for the TOC and the Index page numbers. When I look at the tags, the Link OBJR tag is missing for these elements. I can't possibly manually add them all in. Other links e.g. cross-references, hyperlinks, automatically include these Link OBJR tags when exported. Why does the TOC and Index not do so?
    I've asked this question in the InDesign Forum and no one seems to know. If I don't put these tags in, what does that mean for accessibility of the document?
    Thanks for your help

    Glad you found something that worked.  For the future ... I found that if you create the PDF from BOOK and following these steps you can get the hyperlinks to automatically tag.  This will work if you are getting editable hyperlink boxes for the TOC -- I find that it is creating these (although I could swear it didn't earlier).  Anyway:
    1. Select all chapters in the book and create PDF with hyperlinks and bookmarks. Save as TEST.PDF
    2. Open the PDF and in the Pages Panel extract the page or pages containing the the TOC from the PDF.  Save this as TOCtest.pdf
    3. Delete the Tags from the TOCtest.pdf file --  in the Tags Panel, select the Root tag, right click and select delete
    4. Select Add Tags to Document to this same file.
    5. Examine the tags to see if all the OBJLINKs are tagged. Repeat steps 3 and 4 again (sometimes it doesn't autotag correctly the first time).  You may have to manually correct some of the structure -- headings and/or artifacts on these pages. 
    6. Save again.
    7. Go back to the main document TEST.PDF -- delete the TOC page or pages from that document (assuming you didn't when you extracted.)
    8. On the pages panel, Insert from file and choose TOCtest.pdf -- insert before the first page. 
    9. This will bring in the newly tagged TOC and it's tags HOWEVER the tags will be out of order in the tags panel. They will be at the bottom and you will need to find them and MOVE them where they should be. 
    Still more effort than you should have to but it worked for me.
    Not sure how to record a bug with Adobe, but my testing in CS5 shows that this is NOT a new problem.  CS5.5 did the same thing for me.

    There is a workaround to move from 1.5 version to the older 1.4 version. But this could be specific to the browser setting the JRE version.
    Excerpts from sun docs:
    However, a user can still run older versions. To do so, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel for the older version, then (re)select the browser in the Browser tab.
    Example:
    Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
    Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
    Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
    Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
    If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
    Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
    Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
    Details are here
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
    My system (Windows XP) has the version 1.5_09 set as the default. However i just installed JRE 1.5_06 and would like to revert back to _06 as the default JRE..
    Will update if i find more information
