IPTC and EXIF image data

hi,
anyone found a way to read/write exif or iptc image data?
thanks,
steffen

There are a few projects I've seen that are working on EXIF
libraries. A quick Google search turned up this library that might
be worth looking into.

Fair warning, I haven't tried it, but it's worth looking
into. It even appears to be well documented:

  • Is there a plugin available to manage IPTC and EXIF-data within PSE7

    And why does PSE7 not supp
    ort this anyway?

    When you import a photo into your catalog, the Organizer will also import tags, dates/times, captions, notes, star ratings, and GPS locations from the photo's EXIF metadata (including the IPTC and XMP sections of the EXIF).   You can then edit that information in the Organizer and write it back to photos using File > Write Keyword Tag.  You can view almost all of the EXIF fields of a Photo in the Properties window of the Organizer.
    In the Editor, you can view the EXIF metadata with the File > File Info command, and you can edit a few of the fields (but not most of them).  PSE 7 supports "custom info panels", scripts that you can add that will let you edit EXIF metadata.  This is an undocumented feature inherited from full Photoshop, but you can get hints about it here:

  • What is the fastest way to record and write image data?

    Hello,
    I am new to labview and am using the IMAQ software package to record and write data from a CCD camera to the hard drive. The end goal is a program that records and saves as much data as possible as quickly as possible, for experiments lasting on the scale of days. I have been experimenting with the snap, grab, and sequence methods of recording. To save the image data I was told by NI customer support that TDMS streaming would be the fastest method. I have also been experimenting with the TDMS VIs, however I have found the IMAQ Write File 2 VI to be faster in practice. Am I doing something wrong with the TDMS file structure? Is there a more efficient way to convert IMAQ image data to a dataform that can be written as TDMS? I am posting two of my programs to provide a clearer example of what I am trying to do. The first takes a snap of the image and appends it to a TDMS file. The second is the fastest I have found so far and uses Grab to record the images and the IMAQ Write File VI to save them. 
    Thanks

    Hi
    For me it is no surprise that the second VI is faster then the first one, the reason is you can not compare this two VI with each other.
    In the first VI you work with TDMS files, in the second with png files. That would be much faster, because TDMS files need a lot of diskspace.
    Second point, why do you open, write and close for eacht iteration of the for loop a TDMS file in your first VI? That need really a lot of resources, so it coudn´t be fats as well.
    Save your converted pictures in one array, an after the acquisition you can save it in one TDMS file. When you need for each picture a TDMS file you have to know that this need some time to do this.
    So now for the architecture of your first VI, please look to the LL Sequence.vifrom the examples (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\IMAQ\IMAQ Low Level.llb\LL Sequence.vi), there you can see how an acquisition of a number of images have been to do.
    When you like it really fast, you make a producer/consumer architecture (see examples in LabVIEW for that).
    So in the first whileloop you acquire the images, write into a queue and in the second, parallel whileloop you read the queue and save the images. (see attachment)
    Hope that helps
    Kind regards

  • Editing EXIF Image Date?

    I accidentally set the date information of my camera to an incorrect year, which I noticed when I imported the fotos into Aperture.
    Is there any way to correct the image date from within Aperture? - Ideally in the master file?
    Using a 3rd party app would be acceptable as long as it is free, as I only need to correct 10 fotos.
    Thanks, Hans-Uwe

    There is a program caled EXIFtools that can alter the image date - there is no way tochange that, even for versions, in Aperture (a much requested feature for all sorts of reasons).
    If you do change the masters you'll have to re-import as Aperture will not pick up exif changes to the master after import.

  • Media manager and EXIF rotation data

    My parents have FiOS and I recently helped them setup the Media Manager software so that they can view their pictures on the TV.  It works great, except for images that have been taken with the camera rotated.  Most other applications (Picasa, Canon ZoomBrowser, etc) are able to read the EXIF and rotate the image accordingly.  What is Verizon's timeframe for implementing this fairly basic feature into Media Manager?  If it is there, I apologize, and please let me know where it is - I was unable to find it.

    When you say rotate the photos using media manager, I assume you mean the PC component?  I suppose I could do that,  but that's really annoying (like you said).  Also, the problem is that then I believe that wouldn't they show up rotated wrongly in all of the other software (zoombrowser, picasa, etc) that does support the exif data for 'this side up' ?
    When you say you don't use it anymore, have you found another solution that can export photos to the Home Media DVR?  That's what my parents really want - the actual PC software, they'd prefer to use Picasa etc as that's what they're already used to. 

  • Printing Problems with Elements 8.0 and EXIF time data

    I've been using Premiere Elements 8.0 in Windows XP Professional for a couple of years with no problems. I shoot mostly in JPEG. I've always imported my images using a card reader (the same one). About a year ago suddenly I ran into printing issues. When I imported my images and tried to print them Elements crashed just at the point where it should begin the actual printing.  By chance I discovered that if I adjusted the time EXIF on the images in Elements by either hours or days, back or forward and adjusted them back to the original time/date the problem disappeared. If I had shot in RAW and edited these images there were no problems with the resultant JPEG.
    I noted the discussions about Elements changing the time in the EXIF and checked for this but this hadn't happened. The EXIF in camera and in Elements were the same. I also checked this against the time settigs of the camera and they were the same. I shoot with a Nikon D300.
    I backed up my images and did a complete re-format of my computer so that it was back to its ex-factory settings, re-installed Elements, restored my catalog from the backup and the problem still arose. I'm reluctant to upgrade to Elements 10 until I (hopefully) I find out  if (a) anyone else has the same problem; and (b) if anyone who had it has fixed it.
    Any ideas would be very welcome.

    Miceal,
    I am confused. Do you mean Photoshop Elements? Premiere Elements does not have a Print function. On can Export/Share, but not Print. For Photoshop Elements, you will want the PSE Forum.
    Good luck,

  • Finder and EXIF - creation date

    The 'date of creation'  of pictures, normally stated in the exif-file of the picture, will be used to sort the pictures after the date of creation, as in iPhoto and any other photo program. In the finder, however, another 'date of creation' is used.
    Is it not possible to force the finder tot use the exif data? What data is the finder now using?
    Regards,
    Goos.

    In the finder you can show and sort on EITHER the modification date or the creation date of a file. I believe by default the finder view only shows the Mod date and not the creation date. So if you go into view options and then turn ON showing the creation date column (you can also turn off the mod date column if you like) give you the correct date and time or did iPhoto mess those up as well? If they are there, then now all you have to do is resort by that new column in the finder.
    Otherwise, you will have to use a third party application to batch modify the date and time of the files to match those contained in the EXIF metadata. There are a large number of programs that will do that including Graphics Converter.

  • CS4-Exporting Keywords and other image data

    I've been spending quite a bit of time going through my very large image library assigning keywords, filters etc to the images and am surprised to find there doesn't seem to be any file I can backup to preserve all this data.
    Next month I will be buying a new Windows 7 system and am hoping all this time I've put in will not be wasted when I transfer CS4 to the new system.
    Is all the data (keywords, filters etc) somehow embedded into the images themselves or do I need to back up a file?
    I'd really appreciate any help with this.

    Pg,
    Here is my experience with Bridge in its various guises.
    I started with Photoshop 5 entering metadata into my digital collection.  I then progressed to PS 6 and 7.  Up to this point I had to do it all by hand.
    After purchasing the full CS2 package I fell into love with Bridge as I could now setup templates.  When managing tens of thousands of files templates made my job a whole lot easier.  Bridge CS2 had no problems reading the metadata from my Photoshop files with metadata embedded.
    After earlier this year upgrading to CS4 I had no problem viewing and manipulating my metadata.  Since the information is embedded in the photos themselves it does not matter what viewer you use.  That being said I find it disheartening that Win XP does not recognize my metadata.  I suspect that Windows creates cart files to store its info in.  Or perhaps in a file within its structure.
    So go ahead and upgrade.  As long as your metadata is embedded in the file itself you should have no problem.  Unless I was just lucky.

  • Bridge CS6 overwrites EXIF data and changes image orientation.

    Hi,
    I seem to be having issue with Bridge CS6 overwriting or corrupting my image EXIF data.
    The situation is this, while in Bridge CS6, I open a folder with some images in it. There I select one image. Right-click on it and select File Info. In the XMP dialogue box I fill in the fields I need and save this file as a template. Then, I select the rest of the images, go to Tools and choose Replace Metadata. In the fly-out, select and click the template I've just created and this is where I have the issue. All the updated images now have the the same date and time. I NEVER had this happen in Bridge CS5. In Bridge CS5, while all the IPTC data was overwritten, the EXIF data was left alone. This does not seem to be the case in Bridge CS6 where both the IPTC and EXIF data now seem to be overwritten. If this is the case, need to ask why?
    Hope someone here can confirm and comment on this. Cheers.

    Then, I select the rest of the images, go to Tools and choose Replace Metadata.
    You have to choose 'Append Metadata'  this adds the template to the already existing data instead of overwriting the already existing data.
    And without knowing your needs or workflow, why don't you create a template (or some extra if you have specific difference you often use) with the most common and always used info (copyright etc) and add this to al your files.
    Then when in Bridge choose the metadata panel with IPTC core section in view.
    Select the files you want to alter and in the Metadata click on a field with the pencil icon (means you can add info to it) and fill in the fields you need the info in. If keywords needed switch to the keyword panel to add the wanted keywords to the selected files.
    Just another approach that might be more suitable and faster.

  • How can I get the image data from Clipboard with LV

    Anybody knows How can get the image data after pressd "print screen button" with LV?
    I want to program a software which can save a image as a bmp or jpeg etc, and the image data is from pressed print screen button. 
    How to get it out from clipboard. I am trapping about. thanks in advance.
    Try to make everything Automatic

    You can have a look at Rolf Kalbermatter's post here (give him stars) or, if you're using scripting, you can use the Application class Get Clipboard Image method.

    hi
    how to load and view image data with georaster in oracle spatial ?
    can you help with the steps involved ?
    regards

    I'd suggest you start by looking at the GeoRaster documentation:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11827/toc.htm
    I'd also suggest checking out GDAL as a way of loading data into GeoRaster:

  • [ANN] GeoIPTC 1.0 : geocode your images using metadata standards (IPTC and XMP)

    Hello,
    GeoIPTC is an innovative tool to add geographical identification to your images (geocoding) according to IPTC and XMP metadata embedded in images.
    GeoIPTC reads all IPTC and IPTC Core metadata embedded in an image, isolates localisation data (City, Location, Province/State, Country Code and Country Name), then sends a request to a Geocoding Web Service and finally gets latitude/longitude coordinates.
    To say it briefly: GeoIPTC gets geographical information from the postman address embedded in image.
    Main features
    * Gets full sets of image standard metadata
    * Automatically gets longitude/latitude from widely used Geocoding Web Services like Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps or GeoNames.
    * Locate automatically images on Maps Services like Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps and MapQuest
    * Generate automatically KML or KMZ placemarks and locate single (one image) or multiple (many images) placemarks on Google Earth with full IPTC/IPTC Core metadata
    * Set automatically single or multiple images with appropriate Exif GPS coordinates

    Note the last paragraph in the original post which explains how Flickr handles resolution changes without breaking the rectangles. Perhaps a more straightforward approach would be to store both the rectangle coordinates for each rectangle AND the image's width and height at the time the rectangles were created. Then if the image is scaled, the rectangles can be scaled accordingly. For example, if a rectangle is at x=100,y=200,w=50,h=70, the "original dimensions" are 1000x2000, and the image's current dimensions are 500x1000, then an application could assume the image has been scaled down by (500/1000=) 0.50, and so the x,y,w,h of each rectangle could also be multiplied by 0.50 (x=50,y=100,w=25,h=35). I'd recommend storing floating-point values so that multiple scalings don't make the rectangles "creep".
    Of course, it is possible that really the image was cropped rather than scaled, but fairly unlikely you would happen to crop it the same percent in both directions. Even if an image is cropped, someone could manually repair the rectangles by sliding and scaling them until the fit back on the faces (unless most of the faces were cropped off).
    A rectangle-aware application could scale and translate the rectangles during a crop or scaling operation, but other applications could still survive scaling if they at least preserve the XMP tags as-is.

  • How can I see the entire image date in Metadata EXIF DD/MM/YY?

    I cannot see the full image date under metadata EXIF, just the day and month. Could you help me to see the year the picture was taken? Thanks a lot.

    Where are you not seeing the full date information?  If it is on one of the Browser Metadata Overlays, you may have to increase the size of the thumbnails or remove some of the other data being shown (and/or the metadata labels).
    On my Metadata Overlays for Browser, Viewer, and Tooltip, as well as on the Metadata tab of the Inspector, the full date-time stamp is shown, e.g.:
    10/26/11  4:23:41 p EDT

  • Images resized and exif stripped when emailed ?

    Does any know why the iPhone resizes images (to 640x480) and strips out EXIF data when you email a photo. However, if you download the photos you get the full size and EXIF data ?
    As i often like to email photos direct to Flickr from my iphone it is very annoying to end up with a poorer image than what i should have.

    Hello All,
    Great news for the Apple iPhone.
    Just downloaded 2.1 software update, and the Geotagging correctly geotags the southern hemisphere, now adds a GPS Time-Stamp as well as the GPS longitude & latitude info to the EXIF.
    AND, when you e-mail it or transmit the image to a secure server, mobleme, Flickr . . . ALLL OF THE EXIF DATA STAYS INTACT, INCLUDING THE GPS METATAGS . . .
    AND THE SIZE OF THE IMAGE HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM 1200 X 1600 TO 600 X 800 . . .

  • Iptc and xmp, data important for organizing photos?

    HI, I keep encountering these two acronyms (IPTC and XMP) while working with my photos in Aperture.  Are these data important, should I be doing anything with it?  Essentially what I am doing is, after importing photos from iPhoto, I am filing to Folders, Projects, and Albums (some Smart). Thanks

    Astechman,
    EXIF (which you didn't ask about) is Exchangable Interchange Format, and those fields are generally physical attributes about your photos, as recorded by your camera.  Things like date/time, aperture, shutter speed, etc.  Some people like to think they should be able to change those, but that doesn't make any sense (except if your camera's clock is wrong.)
    IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) data is used in digital media as metadata for the author to put things.  These include things like keywords, location narratives, copyright notice, photographer name.  I.e., things that don't have anything to do with the camera or the physical attributes of the photo, but about the subject/content of the photo or the photographer.
    XMP adds onto IPTC, and is often associated with a "sidecar" file, in which a digital asset manager system (DAMS) saves extra metadata to such a file.  (Aperture is a DAMS, but it does not use sidecar files; it keeps data like that within the library.)
    As for what you should be doing with it -- that's up to you.  How much metadata do you want associated with your photos?  Fill in those fields and just ignore the rest.  I tend to fill in keywords and copyright, and that's about it, but there are many other fields that may be of interest to you.
