Importing JPG w camera data

Question: I'm working with Lightroom for the first time, and I can't figure out how to display the camera data (lens type, shutter speed, etc) in the Library mode. I'm running Lightroom on a Mac importing data from Nikon D200. I know the data is there because I can sort based on lens type, but not display the data. I don't seem to able to set up the metadata to display it. Does someone know how? Manual doesn't help. These are mostly JPG pictures.

If you hit Cmd-I, (i) as in Info., you'll bring up some info. To change the info, go to View-> View Options (Cmd-J) to customize.

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card. JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card, is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

Thanks Larry,
I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?
I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens, composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time, camera settings, lens type). A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop. I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day. If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans

Importing camera data into motion.

Hi,
Does anyone no if it's possible to import 3d camera data from either realviz, boujou or maya into Motions' camera.
Cheers

Howdy,
The folks at The Pixel Farm have made a Motion export module for PFHoe/PFTrack that will write out cameras or entire scenes. As for Boujou/Maya/etc: Motion's project format is all XML, so you could write a script that converts from those other formats into Motion camera data.
I've been debating writing a Maya->Motion converter, as every tracking app supports Maya, so it could be used as an interchange format. I just didn't know how many people would really have use for it.

Importing Camera data from C4d?

Can anyone tell me me how to import camera data from c4d into shake?

First of all, this plug might help you:

I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format" They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD. What is the fix to this problem?

I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem. Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem? It will only accept import from a CD.

Why don't imported jpgs appear in the library?

I've imported jpg photos from my desktop. They appear in the PROJECTS list. I can label the faces. However, they do not show up as a project, nor in the photos nor in the faces, nor in the last imports. What's up? How do I fix the problem?

I can see how that can be confusing. Here's the full list of supported cameras for tethering. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
Long story short, Adobe use the camera manufacturer's SDK, so support is usually waiting on Canon. They've recently updated their SDK but there are some crashes which they have yet to fix, before Adobe can do too much, so we don't have an idea on date yet, sorry.

Import jpg in PRE13 is not working

I just downloaded Premiere Elements 13 to create a slideshow. Whenever I try to import my jpg files, I get an error message.
I resized all files to 4096x2731 pixels with PS Elements 9 but it is still not working. Does anybody know how I could fix this problem?
Thank you for your support!

Lena
1. First thing, I need to make sure we are in sync on...where are you trying to create this slideshow?
I have been assuming in the Elements Organizer 13/Create/Slideshow workspace. Is that correct?
2. If so, open Premiere Elements 13 Editor to its Expert workspace, and import these problematic jpgs into a new Premiere Elements Editor project, using Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets. Do you get that far without any errors?
3. Can you open jpg stills with no raw image origin in Premiere Elements 13 Editor or Elements Organizer 13/Create/Slideshow?
Thinking ahead to another mini test..
For troubleshooting purposes only at this time, can we take Lightroom out of the equation?
Will your original raw image import into the Camera Raw version that you have in Photoshop Elements 9? If so, import the raw image there, edit in the Camera Raw dialog, from Photoshop Elements save as jpg and resize jpg. Does that jpg from Photoshop Elements now import without issue into Premiere Elements 13 Editor and or Elements Organizer 13.
We will be watching for further developments.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Images stripped from Camera Data after Export from Lr

Hi,
I've just opened images in jpg format in Ps. The images were exported from Lr and for some reason all the Camera Data is gone...
I went through all the settings in Ps and Lr and didn't find anything...
I'm enclosing a screenshot.

Hi, this is a similar to an earlier post and here is my reply:
In the Export Dialog Box, under Metadata, make sure that you checked the box for "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy", in this way all your keywords will be carried over to Photoshop. Conversely, if you do not want your keywords or other metadata to show in Photoshop, then check the box for "Minimize Embedded Metadata". I hope this helps.

Hello bbryson68,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're wanting to move iMovie project and event data to another drive. I found the following information in the iMovie help that answers your question.
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Work with multiple libraries

Extracted C4D Camera data from Cineware does not align.

My fault for not trying a simple scene in C4D and making sure this would work.
But alas, I spent the better part of the day animating a Camera (using the CSTools DocuCam setup) in Cinema. It's excatly how I want it. The camera rig is parented to a null which is simply changing its position around the scene. I'm also keyframing a target null that the DocuCam is following. The DocuCam has several xpressions that cause it to "wiggle" and quickly zoom in and out to give a handheld feel.
First attempt, I brought in the C4d (r14) file into AECC and hit Extract Camera data. Solo'd out just the DocuCam (the currently selected camera in the C4D source file), and added a Solid to the Comp. Scrubbed through the timeline to see if it moved away from the Camera as expected, and it is totally misaligned. The camera doesn't rotate or perform any of the same movement as it did in C4d.
I also tried baking all the keyframes for each of the elements in the c4d file, and re-import. Not any better. All the frames for the camera do import (without the nulls, etc), but again, it looks like I'd have to muck around with some nulls in AE to (maybe) get everything to align.
Hoping I'm missing some obvious solution to the problem, or my expectations are out of whack.
It will be annoying to have to CameraTrack my 3D rendered scene, when I have all that data in C4D.
Other attempts included:
Trying to use an .aec file and that only imported 1 keyframe for the camera, despite the baking method.
Repeat same procedure, this time with External Compositing Tags attached to the camera and assoc layers. Even attached it to a dummy object (Cube) in front of the camera and tag'd it.
Crazy project, super deadline, thought this would be the right workflow. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Rick – I appreciate the advice.
To answer your question, I have the latest version of CC, just released a couple of days ago, and I'm running C4D r14.041 (not Lite).
Just to make sure we are on the same page. I don't want to use the AE camera to affect the Cineware layer. I want to extract the camera from the C4d file, so I have a 3D camera in AE, and can then composite other elements over (or "into") my 3D scene so those layers align visually to whatever we are seeing in the C4D scene.
In fact, I didn't even plan to use the Cineware layer once I got the C4D data, rather planning to render out of C4D an image seq and import back into AE.
Basically, I have a 3D scene of a town, some buildings... then I want to composite some explosions, etc... but don't want to do that in C4D on planes, but would rather do that as separate layers in AE, so I can control effects on those individually, and then color-grade everything together (with the rendered scene below).

Camera Data missing

I'm having a problem with the embedded camera data that is stored with a photograph. I'm not sure but every once in a while PS deletes the data from a photograph when I edit the photograph. This is not happening every time. Some photographs I edit all the data is still there after I edit. Others I edit have been changed. All the camera data is missing and the original creation date, the date the photograph was taken is changed to the date I edited the photograph. The creation date and time is important to me to keep photographs from different cameras in the correct sequence of real time. Is this normal for PS or am I causing it?
Mike Terrien

Curt;
Took a number of my photographs and made editing changes to them that I frequently do. No data lost, no date changes. I don't know what happened to the other images that changed so I guess I'll have to continue on. I'll keep a closer eye on images I change and see if it happens again. Until then I would say this discussion can be closed. Thanks for your help.

Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

And even if you could, it wouldn't be worth it. Raw files are 12-bit (or more) with much higher dymanic range than jpegs. The result is that (in the original raw file) you have flexibility to change white balance, change tone curve, recover detail from highlights and shadows in ways you can't with 8-bit (usually lossy-compressed) data in jpegs. But having thrown that extra information away to create a jpeg, you can't get it back. It would technically be possible to convert that jpeg data into raw format, but you would gain nothing by doing so and end up with a file much larger than the jpeg. In fact if this theoretical conversion went the whole way to re-create a Bayer sensor array of data, you'd be throwing away resolution.
