Importing Canon EXIF data into Lightroom

Hi,
sorry if this is a stupid question...
I noticed that when using Canon Image Browser software, that the amount of image information is much more extensive than what I can see in both LR and in Bridge. As an example: In Canon Image Browser I get data for flash exposure compensation, in Bridge and LR I do not have detailed flash information.
Any suggestions?
Also, does anybody know if it is planned to add the feature where you can see the AF point(s) (again, I see it in Image Browser, but not in Bridge or LR)
Thanks,
VR

Most Canon's MakerNotes tags are "public secret", which means: there's no official documentation, but everybody knows them :-)
As FEC info resides in the same (MakerNotes) section as some other info (which is recognised by LR), it shouldn't be difficult for LR to show FEC value too. I believe there could be other problem...
LR should deliver same infos for all camera brands and maybe FEC value of some other brand isn't so easy to "decode". So, it wouldn't be "fair" if LR would show particular values only for some brand. There's no other reason I can think of.
In regard of focus points.. I don't miss that info at all -and even Canon's DPP doesn't show them up.

How do you import photos from a Canon EOS 60d into Lightroom without distortion of photos?

Is there a plug in needed or how does one get the photos from Canon EOS camera into Lightroom? My come through looking distorted and noisy.

Ok, full story...
I have a Canon EOS 60D and was editing in DPP software that came with the camera.
I wanted more editing options so I bought Lightroom.
All of a sudden photos that look good at home were being sent to printer and I was being told they couldn't print them at all. If I take the exact same photo, import it into the DPP software and edit it to look good on my computer and send it to the same printer they print it with no issues.
I was selling on Deposit Photos some, now they won't even accept my photos the quality is so bad. But again, same photo edited in DPP they accept again.
THere are two issues I am having, the one going to the printer or deposit photos is they leave my computer looking bright and good to me and get to the other site so dark you can't see the photo at all.
The biggest issue I have been noticing is if I shoot with 200, 320 or 400 ISO, they look very fuzzy and I thought pixelated at first. After reading forums with other Canon users having the same issue, people are saying it isn't true pixelation. That the real problem is Lightroom not being able to intrepret the data so they look like there is a lot of noise and I have a bad picture.
Before reading forums, I had also emailed Canon to see if there was an issue with my camera. This was Canon's reply.... If you are recording RAW image files, are you using the Canon software to convert them to jpg or a third party program? Sometimes programs like Lightroom and Photoshop do not interpret the files correctly and the result could be noise or a colorshift. Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the RAW plugin for which ever software application you are using, or try using the Digital Photo Professional software included on the EOS Solution disk.
I use Lightroom 4 and it has been updated regularly to the latest updates as they come out.
I shoot in RAW only and never shoot above 400 ISO, usually 160-320 range.
I have taken the same photos at 400 ISO and opened them in the DPP software and there is no noise at all, nice and clear. I am only having this issue when I put them into Lightroom.
I would really prefer to edit in LIghtroom as you have a lot more creative options there but there has to be something I need to do that they work in Lightroom as they do in DPP. I have also used NERO in the past with no issues. The printer person I send to is accepting them in Photoshop.
Do I need to purchase some sort of plugin to have them work in Lightroom? Distortion was a bad choice of word, more fuzzy noise look then true distortion, sorry about that confusion.
Thanks

Import GPS metadata info into Lightroom

How do I import GPS metadata info into Lightroom from either my camera or from disk? I'm using lightroom 3.2. It shows up in CS5 Bridge, why not in Lightroom?
oracle 52

I downloaded the plug-in and used the metadata file preset for geo-tagging plus all the others in Adobe Lightroom 3 prior to "import" using the "Add" submenu. Only under the geo-tagging preset in Metadata did I see the "labels" of latitude, longitude, etc. However, the metadata for each of the photos for these labels were blank. Yet, when viewing these photos on Nikon VX from which the photos was imported shows the correct GPS coordinates. Why isn't this data being displayed in Lightroom as it appears from the original file on my hard drive?

Importing non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database

Hi:
I will have to import non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database. The systems the data is coming from are the following: CODA, Timberline, COMMS, CMS, LIMS. These are all RDBMS, sql-enabled systems. We are talking about pretty big amounts of data (a couple hundred GB combined).
Did anybody go through a similar exersize?
I know I'll have to setup nls_length_semantics to CHAR.
What other recommendations could you guys give?
TIA,
Greg

I think "nls_length_semantics" isn't mandatory at this point, and you must extract a little quantity of information from every source and do some probes injecting them into the Oracle10g database.

Import CSV/Excel data into Flex Datagrid using Java/JSP

Hi,
Is there any way we can import excel/csv data into flex datagrid component.
I see that is been done using php in this site. http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You can store the list of data from the Excel sheet that you have read already into an ArrayList
Then go through the JDBC tutorial, and learn how to insert a single record into the table.
After you understand how to insert a single record, you can iterate through the ArrayList of data and insert them into the table in the database.
If you know JDBC, see if you can use OR Mapping frameworks like Hibernate or iBatis, they make it very easy to manage database in Java.

How to import Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5 keeping 16bit?

I have a problem importing Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5. I have seen articles that I should change them into DNG by Phocus.
When a photo is converted into DNG file it seems that it becomes 8 bit when I open in photoshop. Since I am shooting with RAW, I'D like to keep it
in 16 bit. Am I making sense? Or I am missing some information regarding DNG and 8bit business?
Please teach me the best way.

If opening directly from LR into Photoshop check your pref settings.
Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing (Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing on Mac OSX)
The usual choice is to render a 16 bit tiff or PSD file. Make sure it’s not incorrectly set to 8 bit.

Porblems importing Canon C300 footage into Premiere Pro CC 2014: only import 30 seconds

Hi! I'm having problems importing Canon C300 footage into Adobe Premiere Pro 2014. I'm taking the files directly from the media browser to I can only import the first 30 seconds of each clip.
Why can be that? Do I need a specific plugin?
Thaks for your help

Since you did not perform the copy process yourself, my thinking is that maybe something went wrong when it was done. Far too many people don't understand or follow the process that works.
My recommendation would be to get your hands on the cards and do it again, making sure to use only Explorer or Finder for the task.

Inconsistent import of EXIF data for RAW images

As of the last month or so I have started to notice import issues related to EXIF data within Aperture. When I import images from a card into a new album, some of the images import EXIF data and others do not. This behavior is seemingly random and affects a subset of all images. Even images taken on the same card with the same camera seconds apart can have differing behavior. At first I presumed that it was a faulty CF card but I now see this behavior across multiple cards (CF, SDHC). Even more perplexing is that the EXIF data will be associated to some images when I import once, and after reimporting the same images once agin from the same source, some do not have the EXIF data. This inconsistent behavior leads me to believe there may be a bug in the import process.
Has anyone had a problem like this? Any advice?

Yes, it is weird. My experience matches zeroorone's. No EXIF inf. showed. I wasn't using a metadata preset that showed _all_ EXIF, but a lot of it, and all the "important ones". It seems reasonable to assume that none of the EXIF was showing.
Brand new installation of everything, less than 1 week old, all up-to-date (I am re-installing everything, slowly; porting nothing except some pref and support files, and data files). Only happened once so far (but on three consecutive imports).

Work-around to import Elements 7 catalog into Lightroom 2

I know I can't import an Elements 7 catalog into Lightroom 2 because they were released at nearly the same time. But I want to do it anyway. What is the best workaround?

You can write the PSE metadata (captions, tags, GPS locations) to the files with psedbtool. When you import the photos into Lightroom, this data will be read into the Lightroom catalog.
You will lose PSE Notes, version sets, stacks, albums, creations and a few other things.

Need a method for importing Palm III data into a Palm Centro

I just bought a Palm Centro (Verizon), with the expectation of importing data from my old Palm III. From the Palm III Desktop, I exported Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos into separate folders (this was done on a Windows XP PC) and copied the resulting folders & files onto a flash drive. But when I try to import these files into the Palm Centro desktop (on a new Mac Pro with OSX), the backup files are not in a "recognized format." Does anyone have a process for reliably getting the Palm III data into the Palm Centro? Also, is there an easy way to purge unwanted Contacts/Calendar events from the Palm Centro handheld? With all the trial and error, its accumulating a lot of garbage. Thanks...

Click on the following link for the upgrade guide on kb.palm.com
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=12926
You will need to hard reset the Centro in order to clear out the Centro before sync'ing. Click on the following link for the hard reset procedure.

There are links on the pages to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.
You could try to export the data in each category in Palm desktop, save to the flash drive and import the data.
Click here for the data export procedure.

Make sure you select "ALL" for the range during the export procedure. If you don't, it will only export the currently selected record.

How can I import an Aperture Catalog into Lightroom and retain the RAW file as well as the files with the edits?

I have several catalogs in Aperture that I would like to import to Lightroom 5 and I want to retain the original RAW files as well as the files with the edits. How can I do this?

Well, you can bring in the raw file (without edits), and you can bring in a rendered RGB file (e.g. jpeg or tiff) with edits baked in, but what you CAN'T do is bring in a raw file, with the non-destructive Aperture edits, and have Lr translate those Aperture edits into Lightroom edits.
Put another way: no raw converter/editor can understand the edits of any other raw converter/editor. So, you have to work with a rendered version, and/or re-edit from scratch in a new raw converter/editor.
PS - it would be feasible to write a rough translator which approximated raw edits in one world into edits in another, but such does not exist yet for Aperture -> Lightroom, that I know of.
