File Info not saving in PS

Upon entering File Info and saving the image in Photoshop, all metadata disappears. However, If I apply a metadata template in Bridge, the metadata stays. What may be causing the File Info to not save with the image in PS?
Usig Bridge would be okay, however, I want to create layered images and keep all the metadata. If I attempt to do so in PS, the metadata for all image layers disappear.

PNG file format does not support layers. Even Layer document that support layers may well not have meta data for all images used within a composite. Composites images made using Photoshop place to place in image files as smart object layers may have meta data for placed in image files in the smart object layer's embedded object but that metadata would not be available for use within Photoshop. You would need to open the embedded object in the appropriate application or plug-in to get at that metadata. In fact a composite image file with image file meta data is most likely for the meta data of base image used when the composite image files was created.

  • File Info not saved (.gif) (Ps CS6 Extended, Mac)

    I'm not certain that I've been building my workflow properly before, so if this was not supposed to be supported, I'm open to that possibility:
    Modifying the "file info" for a gif file (in my case, "General" tab, "Document Title" and "Description") doesn't actually get saved with the file - or, at least, if it is saved, it's not visible when re-opening the file.
    I believe that I understood that metadata for .png format isn't supported, but I thought that .gif was. 
    (Test case is easy: open .gif file, add a Title and Description, save, and re-open - information is gone).
    Thanks for any help anyone has...

    hi Chris & thank you for your response
    it doesn't seem possible to add File > Info to a .png image in Photoshop itself. i've tried it a few different ways.
    (shoot, actually i should try adding it again in Ps to a .png file and then see if Bridge can read it. hmmmm??)
    in an other thread: [ http://forums.adobe.com/message/5642141#5642141 ] Gene told me that i could select Copyright and Contact Info from the Metadata drop down menu in the Save for Web panel to add the info to a .png image but this didn't work.
    i don't know if Ps is having one of its "fits" or what but nothing seems to be working.
    after a bit Gene was able to tell me that i can add File Info to .png files in the Bridge Cs6 or CC (no idea what the difference is between Ps Cs6 and Ps CC) and so i tried that and it worked.
    however, it appears that Ps still cannot read the data/info when the .png image is opened in Ps itself. Only readable in Bridge.
    which brings me to an other Q ... what's the point of Copyright info that can't be read? i am not being sarcastic i just really don't understand. granted, i need to read up on this topic but was hoping you could share your thoughts/knowledge w/me   oh, and if you have any handy links i would also much appreciate it. thanx 4 ur help!!

  • Want to re-name photos in iphoto.  info not saved

    I am trying to date all the photos in iPhoto.  I just did about 300 and none of the info is saved.  What am I doing wrong? 

    When you change the title underneath the thumbnail in iPhoto all you're changing is the title and not the file name. To change the file name you need to export the photo out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the option to use the Title as the new file name selected.

  • File-File Info not working

    I was told that I could find the image count of my camera if I view the advanced section of "file info" but I have found that "file info" does not even function.  I have tried NEF files, JPEG files, PSD files and no joy.  All I get is a blank window.  I can't close the window, I can't close the program, I can't do nuthin'...
    I have to go to Task Manager and close the program from there.  My system is 64 bit Windows 7 running Photoshop CS5 64 bit.  (I tried running the 32 bit version of PS and had the same issue.)
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Any ideas?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Randy

    I'm assuming all your CS5 updates have been installed.
    If the File Info window is hanging,I would try resetting Photoshop preferences. (Hold down alt-shift-ctrl keys and click on the PS icon) When asked to discard prefs,choose Yes,
    If that fails,get your original disk or installer and use the Repair option.
    I'm not having this problem,but those are the first two I would try.

  • XMP Files missing/not saved?

    Please pardon the post of this redundant - I searched and couldn't find anything that helped...
    I'm using Lightroom 2.6 on Windows Vista. I've toggled the xmp switch so that XMP files should be saved.
    I make changes to metadata - primarily keywords, location, captions, etc., and when I go to the folder where the images are stored, there are no xmp files. I did a hard drive search for *.xmp and found old files from a LRv1 catalog, but not for those files I just edited.
    Other than the Edit Catalog Settings Metadata switch, is there some other place these files could be written to?
    Thanks in advance.
    Clayton

    For raw camera files LR will create .xmp files and for the others, dng, jpeg, tiff the data is stored within the actual file.

  • Flash Professional CC - "File File Info" not showing in menu

    The menu item "File>File Info" does not show for me. How do I add metadata to my file?
    Even in Bridge CC (64bit) when I select the file and then click an item in the IPTC Core section it states "This property cannot be modified".

  • "Date Modified" info changes even if file is not saved (MS Office 2008)

    I recently upgraded from Office for Mac 2004 to the 2008 version (v12.2.4). Since upgrading, I've encountered the following issue that is a huge problem. Me and several people in my office need to access Word .doc files on our network. These files are all organized in folders, and within those folders, the files are organized and sorted by the Modified Date (most recent at the top). Now...if you open an old .doc file for whatever reason and then close it (WITHOUT saving), the Modified Date will change to the current date and time. In Office 2004, the Modified Date remained unchanged until you click Save. This happens with the autosave feature turned on or off, so that is not a factor. The Modified Date changes if you open a file and immediately close it or if you leave it open for several minutes before closing. This is a huge issue for our company, as the organization of our files is becoming more and more distorted as we access these .doc files many times per day. For what it's worth, this does not happen with .xls files, only Word files.
    I am not sure if this issue has ever been resolved. I've done some research and have found no solution. This is the only relevant thread I've found for this issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1029626
    Any suggestions???

  • Keynote files are not saving in iCloud for access by other devices

    I have a Macbook Pro and an iMac.  When I save a Keynote presentation on the cloud, so that I can access it from the other device, I can see that the file, but there is a message below it that says "waiting". 

    I just can't get a keynote file on my Mac to show up in iCloud on the web or on my new iPad Air 2.
    The file is in the "mobile documents" folder but it is NOT showing up on my iPad. I need this for a presentation tomorrow on my iPad.
    There's no indication on my Mac that there is any problem. It just doesn't show up on my iPad, where I need it.

  • Meta-data changes on video-files 2GB not saved when on NAS

    Hi,
    the following happes to me since a few days in itunes:
    When I try to change e.g. the title-tag of a *.m4v from "Winter 2013" to "Winterholiday 2014" the changed name gets displayed,
    but if I call the edit-window (CMD-i) again the old name appears again.
    I investigated and found the following, experimenting with 10 files of different size & video-types:
    -If the file is stored on the MAC's HD, everything works as expected, no problems.
    -If the file ist stored on a NAS, the problems comes up, if the file is larger than 2GB
    -If the file is stored on a network-share of an other computer, problem comes up, if file is larger the 2GB
    -No difference, if the share comes as AFP or SMB or NFS
    I also tried setting up the NAS, no help...the only thing which solved the problem was downgrading to iTunes 10.7...which is not really usefull if one wants to use the iTunes Store
    Any hints what I could try further ?
    Regards

    Hi.
    How are the rights configured to be inherited? Could you do a "icacls <folder>" on each level and post it back.
    Also worth considering is that this is a Linux Samba system, so it might not work as a regular windows system.
