I'm losing date photo was taken when exporting from Lightroom.

The photo taken date is being replaced with the date that I'm processing the photo with Lightroom.  The photos I'm currently working with were taken over 10 years ago with an early generation Olympus digital camera.  Does this have anything to do with my problem?  I must be doing something incorrectly, can anyone give me advice.  T

Rob - I am working with old images from an early generation digital camera but yes the image capture date does show correctly in Lightroom for most of these images.  However, I just realized thinking about your question that some of the photos could be scanned from a film image and do not how a capture date in Lightroom.  The exif data is entirely different for these.  The photo processors I used in those days were providing a CD along with the negatives / prints so I may have just answered my own question.  Thanks for the questions and help to both.

  • Saturation Loss When Exporting from Lightroom.

    This happens to me when exporting from Lightroom 2 or 3. It happens regardless of the color profile, file format, bit depth, image size, compression, or the method of export. I regularly profile my one-year-old iMac monitor with an Eye One Display 2. My working color space for Photoshop CS4 is ProPhoto. After exporting, I am viewing the images in Photoshop, Safari, Firefox and Apple Preview, with the same result. I have used pretty much all the available export methods in Lightroom, including exporting with Lighroom ad-ons such as SlideshowPro. And, conversely, if I edit an image to my liking ourside of Lightroom, there is a saturation increase when I import it into Lightroom.  The effect tends to be most obvious and bothersome with shots taken outside on sunny days, with lots of blues and greens.  I am shooting raw files with a Canon 5d II and I use the Adobe Standard profile in Lightroom.
    There is a section at the back of Martin Evening's Lightroom book where he talks about the Lightroom color space and Lightroom versus Photoshop curves, which seems to relate to what I am seeing, but I have the feeling that what I seeing is more pronounced than what he is talking about there.  It is a real dullng of the look, not merely a slight difference in how the colors are rendered.

    Looks like Lightroom doesn't like your display profile.
    Try removing the profile (don't know how to do it on a Mac) to leave your display uncalibrated. Are the colors still different in Lightroom and Photoshop?

  • IPhoto - sort images my date photo was taken (metadata)

    The Sort by Date Photo functunality in iPHOTO appears to be flawed.
    I opened up my photos in Photoshop, and looked at the METADATA for when the photos were taken.
    When I sorted them "By Date" in iPHOTO, they looked in an odd order.
    Then I figured it out.
    They were sorted by the "date" THEY WERE MODIFED IN PHOTOSHOP (the date stamp on the file).
    This has nothing to do with the date the photo was taken (in the metadata), which is what most photographers would be interested in.
    How do you get iPHOTO to actually sort event photos by the DATE the photo was TAKEN?

    Were these photos edtied by PS outside of iPhoto and imported or from within iPhoto with PS as the external editor of choice? Are they jpeg format?
    No matter if I edit outside of iPhoto or from withing iPhoto the files are sorted by the EXIF Capture date.  Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Printing the date photo was taken Elements 8

    Yes I have searched and found one entry about PSE5 but wasn't my question. When I print a photo and select the "More Options" button and then select "Show Date", I get the current date along with current GMT time. I just want the date the photo was taken in the bottom margin, the way it is done in Lightroom 1.3.1. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? How do I make this happen?

    The only work around in PSE8 is to double click on an image in the Organizer and then type the capture date information that is automatically displayed in the bottom left; into the caption field. Then select caption in the print dialog instead of date. It’s not ideal but it works.

  • How to add a new metadata field to iPhoto where new field is calculated as age in years and month based on a specific date and the date photo was taken ? I want to calculate and display the age of my two kids on every photo.

    Hi
    How can I add 2 new metadata-fields to every photo in iPhoto ?
    The new fields should state the age of my kids in years and months based on the date that they were born and the date that photo is taken.
    Exampel:
    My son is born 01.01.2010
    My daughter is born 01.01.2012
    Photo taken by data
    Aage of son
    Aage of daughter
    01.07.2011
    1 year 6 month
    not born yet
    01.01.2014
    4 year 0 month
    2 year 0 month
    I would like to be able to search by kids age and get the info displayed when doing slideshows.
    How to do this in iPhoto ?
    Any alternatives to accomplish the same ?
    Kind regards

    It can't be done with iPhoto.  There are some DAM (digital asset management) applications that can write to other IPTC fields that iPhoto can't read. One such app is Media Pro 1.
    However you would have to calculate the age for each date and add it to one of the fields. There are online age calculators that can do that for you: Age Calculators
    If you go thru that much trouble then use iPhoto, make the calculations and add the age to the Description field.  Then you can use Smart Albums to search for 1year 6 month text.

  • Pictures all grey toned when exported from Lightroom 4.

    They look great in Lightroom and then look/print grey toned when exported, even photos that have not been edited.  Fix?

    Can't think of any ICC profile LR would allow that would produce a grayscale appearing document. Wondering if it's another of those 'corrupted' display profile issues where a grayscale treatment is being applied to the images but in LR it isn't showing? This IS a strange one.
    What if in the Print Module you Save as JPEG, Gray?

  • Black and White Gray Scale Photos Are Dark When Exported from Indesign to PDF

    When I print right from InDesign the black and white photos look great.  However, if I print the exported pdf file, the black and white photos are much darker.  Is there something I should be doing upon export so that they will look as they do in InDesign?
    Thanks,

    I have tried different settings in format and color space all with the same results. I'm sure it has to do with system not being calibrated. I'm not to computer literate so not sure how all this works. The other programs must go along with my computer and moniter settings where LR and Elements produce their own rendering independent of settings. Yes, I checked and Elements renders like LR. I found some other forums that discussed similar problems but with color rendering. HMMM, just tried something. In Picassa I switched to Linear Gamma 2.2 in display mode and the LR edited photos look correct. So it must be something along those lines being the problem.

  • Photos are dark when exported from LR

    I don't know if this has come up before, didn't find it in search. When I work up a photo in LR I get it where I want. I then export to another folder. When I view that photo in any other program it is very dark, though importing and viewing in LR it looks fine. When loaded to a site like Flickr it is also dark. I don't have a calibrated moniter but think the rendering should be the same or close between all programs on the same setup. Is there an adjustment in the LR program for rendering?

  • Receiving an error report when exporting from Lightroom - Why?

    I use Lightroom, always have. Started editing on a new computer (given to me by an associate as my computer has crashed) - the specs are sufficient to run Lightroom, and 9/10 times it gives me an error message that says it can't export photos. Every once in a while it will actually export the photo, but there's no rhyme or reason to it - Please help.
    The error message only says "Not enough memory" - no other details, no nothing.

    Hi,
    minimum requirements are from sales people, optimal ones form the working people...
    Try to close all other (backgroud) programs.
    Which camera you are using? Try to export with diffent settings. (Why only @60 when you want to print?, Why sharpen for Mate if you want to e-mail?) If you want to print, I would use TIFF.  Try to export images in smaler packages (2x 50 pictures, instead of one 100 pictures job).
    Try to disable the wateramarking.

  • Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

    Hi there,
    Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
    When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
    Here's an example:
    I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
    If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
    Thanks in advance
    John

    I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:
    Image at 50%
    Image at 66%
    Image at 100%

  • Pixelated images when exporting from Lightroom

    I recently switched from A Windows PC to the MBP Retina 15". I imported photos to lightroom from my external hard drive in RAW format to lightroom, edited then exported firstly as jpeg resized to 630 x 420 at 150 dpi. The images came out pixelated so I tried exporting at 300dpi even though the images are for web use. They still came out pixelated. So I tried exporting as .tif files at 300 dpi and still they are coming out pixelated... does anyone know why this would be? The raw files don't look pixelated at all.

    PART I
    Viewed at 100%, I see no "pixelation" or any other distortion of any kind whatsoever.
    Only a 100% view (1:1) shows you your true image.  At smaller percentage views, pixels have to be discarded; at greater percentages pixels have to be made up (invented) by the software.
    With the Retina screen you're bound to see very strange things, unless you're using the latest and greatest versions of Photoshop and of your video card, and utilizing the Retina features of the software.
    PART II
    JPEG is a lousy, lossy format for maintaining image quality.  Every single time you open or create and save a JPEG, the image quality deteriorates, no exceptions.  Even at the highest quality of compression.
    To take a very low resolution JPEG, like you did, and subject it to such a massive enlargement is to ask for demand trouble.  Not only are you also magnifying all the JPEG compression artifacts, but you are "inventing" an inordinate amount of pixels.
    If you have to enlarge your images often, start with an image file that has NEVER been a JPEG.
    PART III
    Photoshop performed superbly in your case.  That is a remarkably fine enlargement, especially considering the miserly JPEG you started from.  Rejoice!

  • Get too small pictures when exporting from Lightroom

    I shoot in both cr2 (23 MB) and Small-jpeg. Afterwards I upload the pictures to Lightroom and have the appear in the catalog as one picture. Here I make all the editing and when I export the picture back to my harddrive as a jpeg I can only get a file of 3-500 kb. I know I have made some croping - but not that much. It is like Lightroom is working on the jpeg picture and not my cr2 picture. Do anyone have a clue to what I am doing wrong? It may be a setting?

    The size of the cr2 file i 21 MB (and it has a jpeg sister of 930 kb) - and the picture is cropped - but how do I read the cropped dimension? As I am shooting bird picture I normally crop a lot - but my picture are still of an ok size
    I can see your screenshot, and looking at the actual pictures that were exported (thumbnails in the filmstrip at the bottom) helps understand why the jpg files are small: your pictures are mostly a smooth blue background (sky) with a tiny bird in the picture. These files are highly compressible in the jpg format, as there isn't a lot of detail in them. I would expect that the resulting file size would be rather small, even if the original files were large.

  • Corrupted EXIF data in photos exported from Lightroom CC

    After upgrading to Lightroom CC EXIF can't be read by some apps. "Re-saving" a file in Photoshop fixes the problem. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.5. Are there any plans to update and fix the EXIF data generated when exported from Lightroom CC?
    Also, this command fixes the issue with Create Date part of EXIF.
    #!/bin/sh
    exiftool -AllDates="$(exiftool ${1} | grep 'Create Date' | awk '{print $(NF-1), $NF }')" -overwrite_original ${1}
    The reason I'm asking is because we run a site where "Create Date" read from JPG's EXIF is crucial and it's a matter of letting users upload the pic or deny uploading.
    So again, any plans on the fix?
    Regards,
    Pawel Kadysz

    I confirmed that the Exiftool command line:
    exiftool -m -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe file.jpg
    removes the ICC Profile, which could account for significant color differences, considering that the profile is Adobe RGB.  I think this may be a bug in Exiftool, so I filed a bug report.  (But it might be that Exiftool just can't handle the non-standard layout of LR's JPEGs.)  The author is typically very responsive.
    I tried some alternate Exiftool command lines that touch as little metadata as possible, and this one seems to address both of LR 6's JPEG problems:
    exiftool -m '-exif:datetimeoriginal<exif:datetimeoriginal' -xmp-crs:all= file.jpg
    The -m option ignores minor errors and issues, in particular, when there are more than 1000 entries in the XMP metadata.
    The '-exif:datetimeoriginal<exif:datetimeoriginal'  option sets the EXIF Date Time Original Field with its current value; this tricks Exiftool into rewriting just the EXIF metadata without touching the other metadata segments (e.g. the ICC profile), addressing the first JPEG problem.   (You could use any EXIF field that's present -- I picked DateTimeOriginal since every camera adds that.)
    The -xmp-crs:all= option option deletes all of LR's develop settings from the XMP metadata, addressing the second JPEG problem.That metadata is not ready by any programs other than LR, as far as I know. 
    I've tested this new command line on a couple of pics, including the example you provided above, and it appears to work correctly.  But given that we're dealing with buggy output from LR that doesn't conform to the de facto and de jure standards, it's hard to have high confidence without testing on dozens if not hundreds of pics.

  • On iPhone 6, How do I display the date, time, and location where a photo was taken

    On my previous iPhone (4S), I used the "Info' option in iPhoto to see where and when a photo was taken. I have a new phone (iOS 8.3) and iPhoto is not supported, so I have to use the Photos app. I cannot figure out how to see where and when a photo was taken in the Photos app. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

    Hello there, marklewis.
    When wanting to find location information of photos on your iOS device in iOS 8, the online User Guide provides some great information for how to search:
    View photos and videos - iPhone
    View by location. While viewing by year or by collection, tap . Photos and videos that include location information appear on a map, showing where they were taken.
    While viewing a photo or video, tap to show and hide the controls. Swipe left or right to go forward or backward.
    Search photos. From Albums or Photos, tap to search by date (month and year), or place (city and state). Search also keeps your Recent Searches on hand and gives you a list of suggested searches.
