Exporting version with metadata

Hi there,
this is probably an easy question. If I have a file (RAW or JPG), make some changes on it using aperture, including changes in the metadata such as adding tags and possibly GPS data, then how do I export the edited version so that the metadata of the export reflects the changes I have made within aperture?
Currently I command click on the photo and ask to "export version". I select the "JPG - original size" option, which, upon inspection, has the box "include metadata" ticked. But the exported file only has the metadata that came from the camera. Keywords are always gone and GPS data is often (?) gone.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks a lot,
Gil

Apologies. Just found an earlier thread which deals with this bug in aperture:

Export versions with ratings (IPTC)

Hi,
Is there any way to export versions with included ratings (stars in IPTC)? They are absent on versions export but are included only in XMP sidecar with exporting originals.
I would need ratings exactly in exported versions. Maybe there are some apple scripts or automator actions?
Thanks!

Hmmm...
Hm... when I rate photos in iViewMedia Pro or Lightroom they export (or embed) ratings in IPTC just fine.
and
It is rating field. If you'll look into jpeg you can clearly see: <xap:Rating>5</xap:Rating>
You’re right. It is a Ratings Field. But it’s not an IPTC field, that’s an XMP field. There is no IPTC ratings field.

Cannot Export Versions with Aperture 3.3

After upgrading to Aperture 3.3, I lost the ability to Export Versions of my files. Exporting Originals works just fine, but I need to I export jpegs for my work. What I end up getting now is a jpg with a totally black image. The metadata is intact and the size and jpeg format are correct, but the image is just black. I have already tried Repairing Permissions and Repairing the Database in Aperture with no change. I have not yet tried "Rebuild Database" but I do not think that is the problem because I am able to Export images from my Aperture Library files using iPhoto without a problem. Please help.

I am exporting with a preset that I have set up. Here are the settings:
Image Format: JPEG
Image Quality: 10
Size To: Fit Within (Pixels) Width 1024 Height 683
DPI: 132
(No Gamma Adjust)
Color Profile: Use Source Profile
(Black Pint Compensation NOT CHECKED)
(Show Watermark NOT CHECKED)
Okay, the good news is that I tried other settings and it worked. Tiff works just fine and exporting the preset jpeg setting (full size, half size) works just fine. I then deleted the export setting mentioned above and created a new one, but it does not work.
So, I am almost there. I appreciate your suggestions so far as some of them worked. Any more ideas?

Adding and /exporting/ image with Metadata problem

i have been able to add metadata to an image i need to publish but for some reason i am having a problem figuring out how to export this metada with the image.
i see i have an option to export as original or as version. does this affect whether metada has been exported?
also, can i export as PNG as get the metadata in the image or do i have to use something like jpg for some reason?
finally, is there a way to verify that the metadata has been exported along with the image to my desktop before i upload to the web?! it seems really sort of odd to have to re-import the image into Aperture to test the exported image to see if the metadata is there. i mean, i am glad i just did this with the image and metadata that i exported b/c the metadata is not there but it seems like this could be simpler.
TIA

What export preset are you using? Did you check the box to include metadata. This is all in the manual. PNG has poor support for metadata so you're best sticking to Jpeg. You can check for the metadata in Preview, or an of a 100 other photo apps.

Exporting raw, with metadata settings

is it possible to export a raw image from aperture with the settings applied in aperture (either as dng, if imported as such, or with xmp sidecar file)? i only see export options for a version (tiff, jpg, etc) or original (as shot or originally imported). but what if i decide i don't like aperture and want to go over to lightroom or back to bridge ACR or any other system?
aperture isn't what i want it be yet, and although i have hopes that it will be soon, i don't like the idea of spending a lot of time applying settings that i will lose if i decide later to move to a different program (lightroom, etc) later.
powerbook 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

that really is a big commitment then... for something that is in my mind severely flawed and only a work in progress. and incredibly slow not to mention. i spent a lot of time on some vacation photos recently, not even a job, and now i feel those photos are going to be forever stuck in there if i later decide to abandon aperture.
i think it's going to be a duke out between lightroom and aperture, but at least a migration from my current workflow - bridge/acr - will be a two way street with lightroom. (actually, currently lightroom is unalbe to write to dng files, which is amazing since it is an adobe creation, right? but at least they are aware of the issue and have rightfully called their program a beta version).

How to export date with metadata

How do I include date when exporting metadata (not with the image).
I can't get Aperture (3.1.2) to export any kind of date. It shows the date field field, but the value is blank. Using Automator I can extract and export IXIF date which includes the time. I'd like to be able to export the date without the time code.
Thanks for any help.

In the Metadata tab of the Inspector, choose IPTC Core. Then, in the Image brick, click in the Date Created field to set it. See if the date now exports with your metadata.
Let us know if that works. Thanks

Exporting photos with metadata

I have exported my photos but the Create date is the date that I exported - i.e. I have lost all the meta data regarding the time and date the picture as taken. What is the option that I need to tick for this data to be exported such that my photos retain their original create date?
Thanks
James

James
Select the file in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue have the option to write the tags, captions, titles and location metadata to the file.
The date and time data is written to the file anyway.
but the Create date is the date that I exported
Are you looking with the Finder? The date and time on the photograph is contained in the Exif metadata. The Finder is unaware of Exif and shows you the date and time of the file. View the pic with an app that is Exif aware.

Export videos with metadata to Final Cut Pro?

I would like to use Aperture 3 for reviewing video footage from my SLR and adding notes, ratings, etc. Has anyone come up with a way to get this metadata exported from Aperture and imported into Final Cut Pro? I can export a simple tab-delimited file from Aperture, but is there a way to get that in a form where it can become a bin in Final Cut Pro. (I think Batch List import in FCP will only work for capturing stuff from tape -- my clips already exist on the hard drive.)

Do you want to reedit them or do you just want to work with material generated in imovie. Not sure about the first, but for the second, export a quicktime movie. IMovie works with DVstreams which can cause problems in fcp.

Exporting OMF with metadata?

I'm working on a short film, and I'm trying to export an OMF to the sound designer. He's working in ProTools, and I know nothing about sound editing stuff, but he's telling me he's not getting the meta data from the original sound files. Now I've tried Every kind of OMF and AAF export I can find in Premiere, but nothing seems to work.
So is there a way to export an OMF that points to the original audiofiles, instead of writing new ones? Or some other way to keep the original meta data of the file?

Not sure what metadata your sound designer is looking for, but try not "encapsolating audio." I believe you have to manually locate your audio files and reconnect them when you send it to ProTools. Also, I've also had better experiences outputting OMFs from Audition. Send you sequence to Audition and then create your OMF from there.

How to export files with metadata information displayed?

I want to wash my .jpg files through LR 5 in order to display the filenames. Via the Slideshow module I have been able to select and direct the displaying of the desired metadata option. When I export the files the displayed metadata information does not make the trip. Any assistance is appreciated.

I have given my filenames descriptors, for instance, 0000100 - Jerry rock climbing in Custer State Park SD. Importing into Lightroom allows me to display the filename metadata. Exporting the files generated in Lightroom to Photoshop Elements allows me to then create a slideshow in which I have more audio flexibilities.

Exporting Raw with metadata ***?

When is Apple going to figure out that MOST publications require raw files or DNG's with META-DATA embeded? How the heck are we supposed to export our raw files with META-DATA????????/
It seems to me that Aperture does most other things well, but this is a serious flaw.

If you want to embed IPTC caption info into your RAW file, you might want to consider Camera Bits, "Photo Mechanic."
It can be used to write IPTC caption and other fields directly to the RAW photo. It can also be used to do the same to jpeg photos without adding a generation of jpeg to the photo. You can make all the changes to the IPTC text you want as many times as you want without opening the photo.
The program is a favorite among photojournalist and I still use it with Aperture.
Apple claims that Aperture's inability to save IPTC info to the file is a feature when it is one of its biggest drawbacks.
Aperture's mission statement of "Aperture never touches the original file" needs to change to "Aperture never touches the original PHOTO"
I WANT to save my caption and copyright info into the the original file, not a separate sidecar that can be lost and editors don't know what to do with.

Export Version with Master date/hour file

Hi,
I did some modifications on some RAW files and i'd like to export them as JPG because it takes less space...but when i export it, it doesn't keep the RAW medatada, i mean, i'd like to keep the original date of when the picture was taken...is it possible ??
Thanks for your help !

If you're looking at the date in Finder, Finder reports the date of the file not the imge in the file. To get the image capture date you need to look at the EXIF data.

Control metadata at exported versions

how to export versions with iptc annonations but without exif camera data.
it’s only possible to choose between export with or without metadata, but not to control which metadata is included in the exported version.
sometimes i prefer if clients don’t see my camera exif infos.
hope there’s a solution in aperture. sure i could contoll it afterwards with other software, but it should be possible in aperture.

Same problem here. In one project 4 out of 33 pictures were completely off the mark. The common factor seems to be that the corrupted images had been cropped, and Aperture messed up the area to crop at export time. Exporting them individually afterwards worked fine. Exporting two other projects with non-cropped images worked fine.
As this is the kind of processing I intended to use Aperture for, it is very annoying to say the least. I was about to buy the non-trial version tomorrow, but I now hesitate a lot - especially as I have not got any answer to my question in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1402056&tstart=0 , which potentially could have achieved similar things using AppleScript.
Did anyone log a bug report for this yet?

Have been trying to export versions to a friend in the UK as JPEG. He receives them as bmp and no Metadata. Tried all the JPEG settings in Image Export with no success.

Nelson

Ernie-
Thanks for responding...but still have a oroblem. Here's what I'm doing:
In Aperture I choose a "version" that has been Adjusted (croped, etc.).
- Go to "File"...'Export"..."Version"
- In next window for "Export preset" I choose "JPEG-Fit within 1024x1024"
- Click on "Export version"
The exported version then showes up in "Finder" under "Pictures"
- Next I open "Mail" (version 5.2)
- Adderss email to friends in England.
- Click on attachment (paper clip)
- Choose my "version" from "pictures"
- Back in Mail, click on "Format"..."Make Plain Text"
- Send
My friends receive it as "bmp", not JPEG, with no Metadata.
If I do the same procedure but under "File" choose "Export Master", they receive it as JPEG and also the Metadata.....BUT, of course, no Adjustments, such as croping, that were made to the "Version".
What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to save the "Version" as a "Master" and then send it as a "Master"?
Thanks,
Nelson

Exporting Images With Only Specific Metadata

How do I export images from Aperture with only specific metadata. Example: I want to export my images with only the copyright IPTC metadata (and maybe the keywords or contact info etc., but I don't want the world to see the EXIF data.
Aperture manual (page 507 I think) says to do this I need to make a separate version with only the metadata I want to appear. Er right? How does one do that then Apple!? I know how to make another version by the way, but how can I switch off/strip the exif, but keep the IPTC? Surely the monment I tick the include metadata checkbox in the Export panel and hit go this EXIF data will be inserted as it is inherent with the file?
Can anyone enlighten me please?
Kevin

Time to hit the Aperture feedback page. If you include metadata, you include the EXIF data.
About all you could do is export with no metadata, import the new 'stripped' file and then lift-n-stamp the IPTC data onto it, then export that.
