How to keep Metadata on exported JPEGS?

I've being editing pictures in Lightroom for a while, but I have not being paying attention to the metadata issue until now. I need the metadata for Geotagging my pictures, but the problem I encounter is that after I edit them in Lightroom and export them as JPEGs none of the info that comes in the RAW files gets exported with them (like date and time pictures were taken, camera and lenses settings, etc).
These are the catalog settings I'm using:
When I try to sync my JPEG pictures with any GPS files they only detect the time and date the pictures where edited or modified and not the actual time and date the pictures were taken.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks Bjorn, it was so simple. I just exported my last hiking trip and was able to show the GPS metadata in Everytrail.com.
Thank you again!!

How to control resolution of exported jpeg

I know I can control the resolution of an exported jpeg through the UI with the Export JPEG dialog box. I'm wondering how to access that setting with the object model. When I export to a jpeg with my script, it seems to use whatever resolution setting was last selected through the UI. I would like my script to explicitly say what resolution to use.
Thanks!

Hi Mathew,
Please check the below JS code. I am not use the UI just Prompt to get the input value of resolution.
var myPrompt = prompt ("Enter the Value Resolution Value", '300')
var myFold = Folder("~/Desktop");
var myFile = new File(myFold +"/"+"csmphil.jpg");
SaveAsJPEG(myFile);
function SaveAsJPEG(myFile){
    try{
        app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = parseInt(myPrompt);
        app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;
        app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING;
        app.selection[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, myFile);
        }catch(e){};
thx,

How to preserve metadata when exporting non-jpgs from iPhoto?

I have a problem with an iPhoto library, and need to move the photos to an undamaged library. (I have been able to confirm that the problems are specific to the library and not to individual images or with other iPhoto libraries on the same computer, and rebuilding options have not helped.) I can export the processed jpgs intact with the metadata (titles, descriptions, keywords) that I added manually in iPhoto, import them to another library, and the metadata is intact. But unless I convert the TIFF and NEF originals to jpgs, they lose the metadata on export.
Is there a way to get these original format files into another library with their format and metadata intact?

1. Why not simply rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager
This will do that process for you - and preserve as much of that metadata as possible, along with Albums and much of your organisaion.
2. You can't export the Original plus the added metadata, then you wouldn't be exporting the Original. You can export the Tiffs as tiffs though, and that can include the additional metadata.
3. There is no way to write the additional metadata to the NEFs.

How to keep 300dpi resolution when saving a jpeg from illustrator

I have an illustrator cs4 file set up in 300 dpi. when I save it into a jpeg, it automatically downsizes it to 72 dpi and the quality of the image is really bad. how do i keep a 300 dpi resolution when I save my document to a jpeg file from illustrator?

Use file >> export >>jpeg>resolution >> custom 300
Sounds like you were using save for web.

Keep video metadata after exporting MOV files

Hello !
I use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?
Thanks

Cragen,
A very Good Day!
Lightroom does not read metadata from the video files till the version 5.3.
However, the functionality may came as a feature in the coming version of Lightroom!
If the same is not visible in Lightroom make sure the files are copied to the system and then check the same in Lightroom

Let me know how it works.

How can I keep metadata on an embedded EPS file in AI?

How can I keep metadata on embedded EPS images (from Photoshop) in Illustrator, like it does for JPG?
The top image is an eps I embedded, and the bottom one is a JPG. They are both located on a remote server.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I do the same thing as you do...
My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

How to keep true black during export?

Hi!
I cannot figure out how to keep my true blacks when I export using Adobe Media Encoder... It always seems to boost my blacks to 7.5 ... But I want my blacks to stay at 0.
How do I do that?
I tried different exports... like Quicktime for instance. But they all do the same.

Hey Craig --
I think I undersand what's going on: You say this happens with all formats (not just QT), right? This is because Premiere always maps RGB 0-255 <-> YUV 16-235.
Any exports via AME force an intermediary RGB conversion -- even if the output is YUV (MPEG2, H.264).
I'm not sure about QT but in Video for Windows (like .avi) the RGB->YUV transformation is handled by the codec, not the interface.
Many DV codecs for example (Matrox, Canopus, Cedocida) allow you to choose the way these range conversions are handled. It Matrox parlance, there is "Standard" (16-235) and "Expanded" (0-255).
The only way I've found to preserve the full range of YUV sources (including superwhites and superblacks) from Premiere is to export with DebugMode FrameServer in YUY2 mode. The caveat here is that sources that are RGB (or made to be RGB by applying filters) will always be scaled to 16-235 when output as YUV.
In some ways none of this matters: MPEG2 DVD, for example, should always be limited to this range. Furthermore most media players, etc. will convert YUV 16,235 <-> RGB 0,255 also, so it should appear correctly on playback in any case.
Does this make sense?

Aperture Exporting JPEG's from RAW: file size and quality questions?

Hey Everyone,
So, I'm using Aperture 2 and I've got some questions about exporting from RAW to JPEG. I shoot with a Nikon D70 so original RAW files are 5-6mb in size. After doing some basic post processing when I export the pics at "full size" with picture quality of 11 out of 12 then the resulting JPEG is about half the file size of the original RAW file. For example a 5.6mb RAW becomes a 2.6mb JPEG. The resolution in pixels per inch and and the overall image size remain unchanged. Have I lost picture quality due to the exporting JPEG being smaller in file size?
My friend who works with me prefers to edit in Photoshop and when he follows the same workflow his saved JPEG from the identical RAW file in Photoshop is minimally smaller in file size, say 5.6mb to 5.3mb. He's telling me that my Aperture edited photos are losing quality and resolution.
Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size? I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
I've bee told that Aperture has a better compression engine and that the resulting files are of the exact same quality because the PPI and image size are the same. Is that what explains the much smaller file sizes in Aperture?
I tried changing the picture quality in the export menu to 12 out of 12, but the resulting JPEG then becomes larger than the original RAW at over 7mbs.
Can someone please help me understand this better? I don't want to lose picture quality if that is indeed what is happening.
Thanks in advance for your help.

JPEG is a "lossy" file compression algorithm. Whether Aperture or PS, *every time a JPEG is saved some loss occurs*, albeit minimal at the 11 or 12 level of save, huge losses at low save levels. Some images (sky, straight diagonal lines, etc.) are more vulnerable to showing visible jpeg artifacts.

*Both of you are losing image data when you save to jpeg.* IMO the differences between the apps is probably just how the apps work rather than actually losing significantly more data. The real image data loss is in using JPEG at all!
Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size?
I doubt it.
I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
The issue here is not how many pixels (because you are not varying that) but how much data each pixel contains. In this case once you avoid lossy JPEG the quality mostly has to do with different RAW conversion algorithms. Apple and Adobe both guess what Nikon is up to with the proprietary RAW NEF files and the results are different from ACR to Apple to Nikon. For my D2x pix I like Nikon's conversions the best (but Nikon software is hard to use), Aperture second and Adobe ACR (what Photoshop/Bridge uses) third. I 98% use Aperture.

JPEG is a useful format but lossy. Only use it as a _last step_ when you must save files size for some reason and are willing to accept the by-definition loss of image data to obtain smaller files (such as for web work or other on-screen viewing). Otherwise (especially for printing) save as TIFF or PSD which are non-lossy file types, but larger.
As to the Aperture vs. ACR argument, RAW-convert the same original both ways, save as TIFF and see if your eyes/brain significantly prefer one over the other. Nikon, Canon etc. keep proprietary original image capture data algorithms secret and each individual camera's RAW conversion is different.

How do i convert raw to jpeg in aperture

How do I convert raw to jpeg in Aperture 3 ?

I find all this rather strange! I often convert RAW to Jpeg if I want to keep an image for reference but it doesn't merit or require the 8 to 10MB of the RAW file (on my computer, my external drive, or anywhere else). For example, I take photos of artefacts in museums, and I also photograph the labels/legends beside them, for reference. I can keep those solely as quite small Jpegs since I'm never going to want to print them.
(No, I don't want to switch settings on the camera while I do this - I'll only forget to switch back, and then have loads of low-res Jpegs that were meant to be glorious RAW).
In other software I've used, there's a batch convert that makes this very simple. Seems that in Aperture I'm obliged to export and then re-import. Not a big deal, but a slight pain in the arse all the same, and a little odd.
Anyway, thanks to the above posts, I now know how to do the export-import malarkey. I couldn't find it in the manual.
cheers,
Helen

Better documentation of how LR handles metadata

I would like the on-line help to accurately describe how LR handles metadata, especially writing them in files like DNG and TIFF, the usage of sidecar files (.XMP), and how all of that interacts with Adobe Photoshop CS and its Browser, and Photoshop CS2 and CS3 and Bridge.

The short answer is that the IPTC, EXIF and other built-in core metadata is written to DNG and TIFF and JPEG and travels with the file and can be viewed in any application that provides xmp functionality to view it - like a File Info... menu item. Metadata about changes made to the file and how it looks is not carried as embedded metadata when the image is exported. There is no functionality in CS2 or CS3 to view a sort of history file with images alterations.

Bloated exported jpegs??

I start by importing a 4 meg file (jpg). Apply a few Lightroom tweeks and export jpg (quality 100%) and file size triples to 12 megs. Why so big?
I can lower quality to 80% and then it is pretty close to the original. But I prefer not to do this.
I have also noticed a much bigger file size when exporting web galleries and have to drag the sliders down to about 60% quality to keep files small for web viewing.

Lora, here is what I think is happening. The JPEGS you started with are expanded to uncompressed images within LR's rendering pipeline, simply because they have to be in order for LR (or any other imaging application) to work with them. At this point, they in memory and are MUCH larger than the JPEG files you started with since they are not compressed.
After processing, when you tell LR to do an Export, the JPEGS you started with are expanded to uncompressed images within LR's rendering pipeline, simply because they have to be in order for LR (or any other imaging application) to work with them. At this point, they are MUCH larger than the JPEG files you started with.
LR then proceeds to apply all of your edits to the files, and then it creates new JPEGs in whatever folder you told it to export to. The new JPEGs are compressed using the settings in the Export dialog, and if you choose a higher image quality than the original JPEGS, they can certainly be be larger than the original files.
Note that I am NOT saying that the new JPEGs will actually be higher quality than the originals. JPEGs use lossy compression, so whatever compression was used to produce the original JPEGS threw content away that can never be recovered. But the LR doesn't care about that, and works on the contents of the file as it had pristine originals to work with, so it's very possible to tell it to produce JPEGs that are larger than you started with. It's just that there is not much point to actually doing so.
Don's suggestion about Auto Export doesn't really apply here, since it refers to files that are within the Library. Exported files, such as we're talking about, will ALWAYS get the metadata written into the file, unless you have turned on the "minimize metadata" checkbox in the Export dialog. I'd have a hard time believing that this is the sole cause of the size increase, though; metadata shouldn't take up more than a few kilobytes even in a worst case scenario.
Bottom line: set the Export JPEG quality to your needs, without regard to what the original JPEG sizes were.

Exporting Jpegs from Lightroom - DPI question

When I export Jpegs from Lightroom, I set the dpi to 300 pixels per inch. I do not specify a max width or height. When I view these files in Adobe Bridge (CS2 or CS3) the file info says 300dpi. However, when I open the files in Photoshop and select image size, It says 72dpi and has the document size set to very large. I realize that I can enter 300 dpi and uncheck the resample box, I am just confused as to why this is happening.
My concern is, that I upload my images directly to my lab after exporting from Lightroom. Will this cause problems?
Thanks in advance!
David

the image resolution is a combination of the two parameters you mention: size and dpi. a very large size at 72 dpi is equivalent to a small size (like 3x5) at very high dpi. for printing you want at least 240 dpi at the largest size that allows you to keep that resolution. for screen presentations or your web site you want jut 72 dpi. 72 dpi and 2x3 inches will require a very small file size.
I suggest you to export images at TIFF and not JPEG as that will allow you to preserve the image quality when doing editing in PS.
In my case I export TIFF for PS (when I need PS editing) and 72 dpi JPEG for my web site (that way if somebody downloads my image illegally thy get a poor resolution copy). But since LR works very well for me 90% of the images re just kept in raw mode and I print from LR.

Hi Maheedhar,
You need to use function module POPUP_GET_VALUES.
If you want see sampl eprogram for this check the program RSSPO410.
Execute this program and input Example2 = X in the selection screen.

What's the deal with large white blocks in exported jpegs

I just exported my first job I ran through Aperture. Out of 736 files, 9 were flawed. When opened, the exported jpeg had a missing section of the photo, that was all white. The white block appeared in random spots but always on the edges. The problem didn't occur the second time around with the same 9 files/ this time processed in a batch of 9.
I need to know how to export files reliably - in my workflow, I don't have time to double check file quality.
Has anyone seen this issue? I've seen it with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
I'm shooting with a 1ds mrkII.
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

i've seen this too, in other odd ways. it seems to affect the images that i've spotted (with the patch tool) and have other corrections/adjustment applied. its almost like the GPU gets too overloaded to accurately recreate all of the image mods. the image seems to be segmented into smaller rectangular sections that probably get loaded into the video card's memeory and the adjustments and corrections are applied on smaller, more managable sections. when the image is stitched back together something goes horribly wrong!
the sections tend to be mis-matched with some completely black, some that have black spots where the patch tool was applied, other sections have what looks like a white overlay that's 50% opaque. sometimes even my thumbnails come up with the same results as these malformed exports. i've been able to shake them back to normalcy by toggling one of the corrections (spot/patch, highligh/shadow, etc). after the thumbnail updates properly, the export usually works fine.
this is definitely a bug with aperture and i would report it as such. attach and send the image to the bug report if you can!
scott
ps: for what its worth, i'm usually shooting with my Nikon D200 these days.
