Getting metadata into jpeg files from RAW

I am transitioning to using RAW files more often. I add metadata, including GPS info, captions etc. Then invariably I need to get JPEGs to someone and have to go through the hassle of exporting the RAW as a JPEG with the metadata.
Is there a way I can get that metadata into the sorta sidecar JPEG file on my Mac without having to go through the export process?
I suppose I could designate the preference that on import the RAW and JPEG were treated as separate files; could I then just copy the metadata in? I haven't really worked with separate JPEG+RAW before. Would it happen automatically if I stacked them? Haven't really explored that.
It just seems that every time I have decided to use the RAW invariably I need the JPEG and if I don't have LR available (say I'm working on someone else's computer but accessing my own files) I'm stuck.
thanks,

Not in Lightroom. Maybe with ExifTool.

Exporting is a hassle? Maybe Lightroom isn't the right program for you.

Yes, you could copy and paste (which in Lightroom is called "sync metadata"), but you would have to do it pair by pair, and then save the metadata to the files, and you still wouldn't get sidecar files.
Now, if you don't want the "sorta" sidecar files, if it will work for you to have the metadata written to the JPG files themselves (not sidecar files), then you can tell Lightroom to automatically write the metadata to the JPG files. But ... see my next comment

Sorry, but exporting is really the only way to make edits and other metadata available to non-Lightroom programs. If you just want the metadata but not the edited photo, then have it written to the JPG files, but you won't be able to see your edits outside of Lightroom (or PSE or ACR or PS).

I cannot get .arw or jpeg files from my Sony A6000 to be taken into my Lightroom 4.4 via the normal "synchronise" process. I have updated my Pc to Adobe RAW/DNG 8.4 with no improvement. Can you help please?

With regards to your .arw files:
You need to either purchase and install Lightroom 5.4 -- OR -- download and install and use the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4, did you actually launch and use the DNG Converter?
There should be no problem importing JPG files into Lightroom from your camera, what happens when you try? Is there an error message?

How to insert xmp metadata into jpeg files?

Hi
Is it possible to automatically insert the metadata
with the script using text extracted from my database.
I have to insert the metadata into lots of images which are uploaded to a site.
Thanks

A scripting tool you may use, although complex, is ImageMagick. It allows loads of image manipulate but also handles data.
Another options is DBGallery, which will very easily allow XMP data to be written to hundreds or thousands of files at a time, but not via script (it's a Windows application). You can see a quick screenshot tour of it's IPTC/XMP capabilities here.
Hope this helps,

Cannot save JPEG file from RAW file edit.

After editing NEF raw file 8 bit channel in Elements 9 > open image> edit again> save as JPEG maximium> OK. Then end up with broken file image in organiser. Will save as a PDF file. Edited JPEG's saved. Previous edited NEF files (sucessfuly saved as JPEG) will not save as JPEG this time. OS MAC 10.6.8. Do I need to re-enstall? Dread the thought of re organising thousands of images even when tagged.

When you click on the open image button in the Camera Raw dialog make sure the dropdown menu doesn’t show 16 bit. If it does change to 8 bit and then click open image. You can only save jpeg in 8 bit mode.

How can I get data in flat file from Pool table and cluster table ?

Hi,
I am working in one Achiving project. My requirement is to get data into flat file from Cluster table and pool table.
Is there any tool avilable to download data into flat file from pool table and cluster table ?
if table name given in the selection screen then data will be downloaded into flat file.
waiting for quick response.
Best Regards,
Bansidhar

Data cannot be retrived directly form the cluster table
as the Cluster results are stored in Cluster Key say for example PCLkey
and form that Key we need to fetch the data
these clustes are not the part of PNP or PNPCE tables
for ur info kindly check

Now I have to covert my i tunes to MP-3 formate to insert them into a power point presentation These songs are in my i tunes library on my computer I know how stupid it sounds how to I get them into a file on my computer seperate from my i tunes library

S LIKE i BOUGHT SONGS NOW THERE IN THIS I TUNES LIBRARY THING NOW HOW TO GET THEM INTO A FILE SEPERATE IN MY DOCUMENTS ITS LIKE HOW DO i BREAK INTO THE I TUNES STORE ON MY COMPUTER AND GET THE MUSIC i BOUGHT AND PUT IT INTO MY COMPUTER FILE DOCUMENTS SO i CAN PUT IT INTO POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS AND IN A FORMATE COMPATABLE WITH WINDOWS POWER POINT. I DID IT ONCE SEEMS LIKE I FORGOT THE RECIPE I DID IT WHEN MY KEY BOARD WAS DOWN JUST WITH THE MOUSE I MAILED IN MY LAP TOP GOT THE MUSIC OFF INTO A M-P3 PLAYER GOT IT BACK GOT THE I TUNES CARD DOWNLOADED SONGS NOW THERE TRAPED IN MY I TUNES LIBRARY LOL !!! ???

One way friends of mine have done it....use iTunes to burn a music CD with the songs (presuming it can still do that, haven't tried it in a while)
THen close iTunes and open windows media player. Use that to convet the CD file to MP3 (media player's default is to pull things in as wma, so you may need to change the preferences to mp3, or i'm pretty sure wma's work in power points)
Once media player converts the format you can insert it into your powerpoint.

Import metadata to jpeg files

i want to import massively metadata to jpeg files.
Can you help me to import metadata such as keywords.
I have already tried with xmp toolkit of Adobe but the metadata
is not readable from file info in Adobe Photoshop CS2
What seems to be the problem ?
I 'm using windows xp

I can probably help with this.
I have a script called TagFromFilename that can apply fill in the details that can be extracted from the file path if the .wavs are stored in the layout <Album Artist>\<Album>\[D-]## <Name>[ - <Artist>].<Ext> where D is an optional leading disc number and <Artist> is an optional trailing artist (otherwise both artist and album artist are set to the grandparent folder). You just need to make sure that before you add the tracks to iTunes, that it won't rename the files. You can do this by turning off the Keep option if the files are inside the media folder, or the copy option if the tracks are located outside.
Alternatively I have another script called ExportImport which allows for almost any editable to be adjusted, as long as you can export the internal track IDs of each track and then marry them up with the data you want to import. See Batch Add Comments Tag Solution? for a previous example of how if might be done. I'll gladly go into more detail if you tell me what fields you already have and what identifying information is present.

To keep a back up of original Jpeg files from camera or not?

Somewhat new to Mac coming from PC world. I also have a PC lap top that I have some of my pictures on. I have all of my actual jpeg files from my old PC on the Mac and then have imported copies of them into iphoto.
I have searched these discussions and can't find my question answered so hope I can explain and get an answer.
I think I understand how iphoto works and about the library. I am enjoying using it, but with problems others have from time to time I would think most people would still want a backup of their actual jpeg files stored on DVDs or external hard disk is storage space is not a problem. I can see if you only use a Mac and keep a backup of your iphoto library you would be fine, but if you changed back to a PC this library backup would not work and you would still want a copy of all your original jpeg files to start over on a PC.
Do any of you keep a backup of your original files backed up?

I definitely know not to make any changes in the iphoto library itself.
Good that goes a LONG way toward avoiding problesm
If I understand you correctly is there a way from within iPhoto to isolate all of your orginal files, if that is what you want, to transfer just them to an external in order to then load on a different PC computer i.e. my laptop?
iPhoto does that - all originals are in a folder in the iPhoto library named "originals" - you can copy it for use somewhere else (I do not recommend it but you can and if you make no mistakes it is safe - i make lots of mistakes so sty out of my iPhoto library) or select the Photos you want elsewhere and export with kind = original
I have a 2TB WD external drive I am using with Time Machine, so my iPhoto library is backed up there. Would you also suggest, to be perfectly safe, backing up the iPhoto library to a 2nd external.
I personally do that - it is certainly a personal choice and and be overkill - but I do it
As I add new pictures to iPhoto and backup to this 2nd external would the library file just overwrite the previous backup?
again your choice - I keep about 4 versions plus the current one on my internal drive which get daily cloned to my EHD - essentially overwriting the old so my EHD is never more thatn a day behind my main system (except when I do an major upgrade and turn the EHD off for two to three weeks to be sure the upgrade went ok)
I don't want to sound paranoid, but I just cringe when reading posts of people losing all of there pictures.
Its hard not to be paranoid when everyone is out to get you - and hard to be too paranoid when it comes to backups - bad stuff will happen
But as to reading about people losing all of their photos - that does not happen - in all of the posts I've read here I have not seen a single case of iPhoto or the Mac losing a single photo - iPhoto has lost track of them (mostly due to user mistakes - sometimes computer glitches) and people have had to start over with their originals losing their keywords, edits, etc but no photos actually lost
So the short answer - I like having both a clone and a TM backup plus the other ones I make - it may be too much for you or you may do more - TD adds a web based backup to his scheme for example

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
I will appreciate your assistance.

Hi,
Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?
I would like suggest you use Clean Boot to troubleshoot if there is third-party software conflict:

Use of XMP Custom Panel to automate insertion of metadata into PDF file.

I'm new to the world of XMP so please bear with me.
I'm exploring ways of automating the insertion of metadata into PDF files, either at the time of creation, or through a batch process. The metadata values for a given set of documents would be static, so these could be "hard coded" into the mechanism use to insert the metadata.
Would an XMP Custom Panel be something I could use to achieve this goal. If so, can you please provide some details on how to go about doing this.
Thanks in advance.
Louis

Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

Getting a list of files from a shared directory

Hi All,
I need to get a list of files from a shared directory on another server and put them in a HTMLB TableView element with links to the files.
I was not successful with CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES. This method works in test mode, but gives me a gui_not_supported exception in BSP. I guess BSPs are not allowed to use this.
Is there any other alternative?
I need to be able to upload the files as well.
Thanks,
Roman
Message was edited by: Roman Dubov

Hi again,
Not sure about the shared directory files list...
In my opinion, this cannot be done using BSP.
But, you can try using VBScript to access the file system with object of that sort :
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
it is only a thought and you can be sure to cross security problems by accessing files through a Web application...
Best regards,
Guillaume

How to get InputStream of uploaded file from request?

The situation:
Client is uploading xml file to server.
<form METHOD=POST ENCTYPE = "multipart/form-data" action="SendFile" accept="text/xml">
<input type="file" name="SentFile" />
<input type="submit" value="go"/>
</form>Then I need to parse data from file.
I want to use method javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(InputStream is)
But, how to get InputStream of uploaded file from request?

You cannot get the InputStream of the uploaded file directly. The InputStream you can obtain from request.getInputStream() contains a lot of other data as well as the uploaded file. You will have to parse the data in the InputStream to find the data that belongs to the file.
A short cut is to use the HTTP Multipart File Upload available from www.jenkov.com. It simplifies file upload and makes it easy to obtain an InputStream for only the uploaded file. It also handles upload of multiple files. It is free, open source, Apache license, so if it doesn't fit your needs, you can always read the code and see how it works. Then write your own upload servlet.

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

Option to include personal-LR-keywords into DNG (or/and into jpeg) files ?

Is there an option, or a way to
include personal-LR-keywords into DNG (or/and into jpeg) files ?
Or, sorry, did not check it out.. : maybe it's allready automaticaly the case that a DNG (dng, by definition, also incorporates xmp, right?), when opened/imported in someone-elses computer/lightroom.. will positivaly respond to the creator's keywordings of that image?

The place option is usually not available for 16 bit files, so when editing images in acr
change where is says Depth to 8 Bits/Channel or after you open a 16 bit file, go to
Image>Mode>8 Bits/Channel.
