How do see what lens I used?

I was doing a photo shoot and used many lenses but now as I am going through the pictures a few weeks later I cannot remember which pictures were with which lens. How can I get Aperture to tell me what lens I had on the camera? I know it's in the metadata somewhere....

To reply to Barry and expand the discussion about a feature I feel is useful and should be included....
Nikon Capture includes a lot of data in the EXIF, including (yes) the exact name of the lens (AF and AF-D are differenciated). I don't own any lens without a cpu but I can venture a guess that since they don't have a CPU they cannot tell the body who they are... ect...
Now the problem with Aperture finding this info is that I'm not sure whether Nikon gives access to all the EXIF to anyone, via an API. If indeed Nikon withold some fields, some other software companies have reverse-engineering it. that part is unclear to me.
Currently my method is to keep an eye for the EXIF field called 'Maximum Lens Aperture'. The info is often wrong (ex: f/3 instead of f2.8), but still telltale enough!!!
In general I agree that I would like aperture have the same kind of info Capture has, and intend to lobby Nikon for this to happen.
At present I'm not very happy about Nikon being a software company because there is a conflict of interest for my own use.... but that's life

  • How to see what processes are using my memory?

    I recently added more RAM to my system and I always keep Activity Monitor running with the memory usage icon on the Dock to see how much Lion and my programs use.
    I noticed that even several CS5 programs running at the same time won't use that much, the program I've seen uses the most is Aperture, using anywhere from 500MB on start to 2.5GB while viewing--not editing--photos.
    My questions is, when my system is running normally it uses from a quarter to half the total memory available but just now it's using more than three quarters and it's running not even half programs I use everyday. I quickly added up the memory being used and it's just missing out A LOT. I'm adding a screenshot of Activity Monitor for you to see.
    I now that restarting the system (or by using the purge command in Terminal) will free up memory but this really puzzles me and I'd really like to know what's happening--BTW, even though several GB are missing, the computer is nowhere nears slow, at least.
    Where are all the other processes using the rest of the memory?
    I'm using OS X 10.7.3 Server with 16GB of RAM on an iMac.
    Thanks for all your help,
    Gustavo.

    You will never be able to get those numbers to add up.  This topic has come up before.  Examples:
    Memory used by unknown processes
    Where is my memory?
    And others.  You cannot use the numbers in that display to add up.  Even doing top in terminal produces conflicting numbers.  Many process are dynamic and may be missed in these displays.
    FWIW, here's an apple article on the Activity Monitor memory display:
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used
    Editorial: In my opinion I do not recommend always running Activity Monitor (or top).  The constant poling and display does have some affect on performance and cpu utilization.  That's why it always usually appears near the top of the process list when sorted by percent cpu unless really outweighed by something much bigger.

  • Is there a way to see what applications is using my mobile account for internet instead of using BIS?

    HI
    Is there a way or a app to download to see what applications is using my mobile account/airtime instead of using the BIS service? The reason for asking is that my airtime is being used on its own, without my knowledge. Please assist.

    so if we do have the same apple id is it possible to delete if from any of the other devices or any where I can just unactivate them from my apple id account to where it would delete the message if they happened to get it?

  • How to see OBIEE processes status using OPMN

    Hi All,
    I installed obiee 11g on windows server 2003 64 bit, all my processes are up and running as I look into the Fusion middleware console. I was trying to see the status through OPMN. I tried access the opmn by going into the folder
    Middlewarehome\instances\instance1\bin
    I double clicked opmnctl windows batch file but nothing comes on the screen. I don't see any black window coming up and showing me the status of all the obiee processes running, I notice that clicking opmnctl launches a black window but it goes away within seconds ?
    Can anybody please tell me how to see my system components using opmnctl?
    Thanks,
    Ronny

    Hi,
    Try to run CMD prompt and change the Drive to opmn and run the command like this,
    D:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl status
    For more refer below section,

  • How to see what Tables are being used in all reports

    Post Author: tmashley
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hello,
    How can I see what database tables are used in all my online reports? I have around 1000 reports posted to Enterprise over 6 different datasources. If possible I would like to see the fields within those tables that are being used to.
    I am using Crystal Reports XI Release 2
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I don't think you can see the databases of the reports unless you download the report onto your pc as a Crystal Report format and then open it under Crystal Reports.
    This way it will open the report within Crystal Reports and will show you the datasource it is coming from.
    I doubt if you can see them online.
    Kind Regards

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

    The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

    Hi If you have another Apple  device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

    Hi,
    You can use the "DBA_SYS_PRIVS" data dictionary view to see a user's system privileges.
    You can use the "DBA_ROLE_PRIVS" data dictionary view to see a user's roles by filtering on the "GRANTEE" column.
    Finally, you can see what direct grants a user has on tables, views, packages, types, procedures, functions, etc. with "DBA_TAB_PRIVS"...
    Hope this helps...

    Can you figure out with whom your MacBook is communicating? Try launching /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app from an admin-privileged account and type 
        tcpdump -i en1 host 192.168.1.101 
    where the gray entries are variable entries, "en1" is what I think is the interface address on MacBooks for Airport, which I assume you are using as your connection to the router, and the "192.168.1.101" should really be whatever is the 192.168.x.x address for your MacBook. (If you get a message that says "no IPv4 address assigned" then en1 is the incorrect interface; look at /Applications/Utilities/Network Utility.app's info panel to find your active internet interface).
    tcpdump will display packets and the IP address with whom your MacBook is communicating. It will also show MacBook port and distant end port numbers, which may help you identify what application or service is communicating, and to what application and service at the distant end.
    /Applications/Utilities/Network Utility.app's lookup and whois panels should help you figure out to whom that IP address belongs, which may shed some light on why this packet traffic is happening.
