IPTC Info in Metadata Boxes?

When you add a new metadata box to page, is it possible to have that metadata box populate itself with the City/Country IPTC info?
I can't seem to find a way to change (add/remove) the metadata fields in the drop down menu.
I'm trying to make a contact sheet that includes the City and Country where each photo was shot.
Thank you,
Kenny

The metadata is recorded by the camera. Aperture simply reads what data the camera recorded. I'd suggest you update your camera firmware, if an update is available. My experience with this is that the camera body manufacturer's lenses are often much more reliably identified.
Regardless, not all lens information is available for all cameras; it's currently a hit-and-miss technology.
I'd say don't worry about it much.

  • Importing .xmp sidecar file doesn't populate IPTC info??

    Good evening everyone.  I've been trying to import .xmp files alongside some of my old movies to save me from having to retype the IPTC info such as location, etc.  I have a folder which contains the .mov file I want to import, along with the .xmp file of the exact same name.  I thought this was automatic (at least from my perspective), put I guess not?  The .mov file imports just fine, but Aperture doesn't seem to populate any of the metadata fields with any info from the .xmp file.  I've tried this with different videos/xmp sidecar files with no luck.  Am I stuck re-entering all the metadata by hand?  I really don't have much info, but I have several hundred files I'm trying to re-import, so it could be a long week.  In case it helps, here's the xmp sidecar file that was created when I used iView Media Pro software pre-Aperture:
    Thank you!!

    The Photoshop and/or Bridge forums would be more likely places to get answers to your questions. This forum is inhabited more by programmer types interested in implementing the XMP specification in applications we write.
    I'd expect CS2 to ignore CS1 panels so I doubt that's the issue. Panels don't interfere with each other--they just offer different views of the data. In any case, move the extra panels to your desktop and see what happens.
    As far as I know, all you need to do on the Mac is drag the CS1 application folder to the trash to uninstall it.

  • Recent Aperture Update Not Exporting IPTC Info?

    Has anyone else noticed that when exporting an image from the most recent update of Aperture, the exported image/jpeg no longer contains any of your IPTC Metadata? Facebook sees none of the captions nor does WordPress. These two issues alerted me to check info etc. from within Preiew and nothing is showing up. Nada, zilch, zero. No copyright info. no photog info, nothing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but can others check for Metadata IPTC info on export and report back? Thanks.

    Problem partially solved but still wondering about the PNG issue.
    Jim,
    PNG is a great lossless image format, but afaik, there is no standard how to embed metadata in png files.
    Perhaps these links will help:

  • File info or metadata

    I cannot seem to find a way to enter the job name into the "file info" or metadata in Photoshop CS. If the job name was entered in a previous version of photoshop such as PS7 it will appear in the file info under the advanced tab underthe XMP Basic job ticket properties but cannot be edited. As a work around I am using PS 7 to enter my job name and then using CS for everything else. There must be a better way. Am I missing something?

    Ahem, well this is interesting.  I haven't found a way to write a custom panel to display the JobName in CS and make it editable - perhaps a limitation to the panel language.<br /><br />One option is to create a template to apply to multiple files - either through the flyout menu in File Info, Replace in the Advanced panel or via the File Browser > Edit > Replace Metadata.<br /><br />Below is a template that I created.  Best way to create your own is to save a template with the JobName property present, then go in an edit the file to remove the other template data and retain the jobName section as I did below.<br /><br />Edit the jobName value between the tags and rename the template - then use the Replace command to apply it to files in CS.<br /><br />Not a pretty work around.  Otherwise I would suggest using another field going forward.<br /><br />Gunar<br /><br /><?xpacket begin='Ôªø' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d'?><x:xmpmeta xmlns:x='adobe:ns:meta/' x:xmptk='XMP toolkit 3.0-29, framework 1.6'><br /><rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#' xmlns:iX='http://ns.adobe.com/iX/1.0/'><br /><br /> <rdf:Description rdf:about=''<br />  xmlns:stJob='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/sType/Job#'<br />  xmlns:xapBJ='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/bj/'><br />  <xapBJ:JobRef><br />   <rdf:Bag><br />    <rdf:li rdf:parseType='Resource'><br />     <stJob:name>new info goes into here</stJob:name><br />    </rdf:li><br />   </rdf:Bag><br />  </xapBJ:JobRef><br /> </rdf:Description><br /><br /></rdf:RDF><br /></x:xmpmeta><br /><?xpacket end='r'?>

  • Synchronizing caption info in Metadata

    Can I synchronize Caption info in Metadata across multiple computers? Our Master images are located on a server at my studio. If I add a caption to an image from my computer, then go to another computer in my studio, and synchronize the folder that the image is located in, the caption does not show up in the Metadata.

    On your computer, Cmd S saves the metadata back to the images (or a sidecar file). You can switch this on automatically if you wish - at first it'll slow things down but it's quicker after the first run. On the other computer, Library > Read Metadata from File.

  • How to turn off the floating metadata box

    The floating metadata box, how does one turn it off?

    "t" toggles the Metadata Overlay Tooltip on and off. 
    Welcome to Aperture  .
    At some point soon you should customize all seven of the Metadata Overlays.  Information on them is on this page in the User Manual.
    I recommend adding all metadata fields to List View - Expanded.  This is as close as Aperture provides to a spreadsheet view of your Images and their metadata.  You can sort by any field.

  • Metadata box content remains static once created?

    Hello,
    I started using the Metadata boxes for books. Unfortunately, I noticed that once a metadata box is created, it remains static. In other words, any subsequent change to the metadata information encapsulated in the picture is not reflected / updated in the Book.
    Is there a "refresh" button that I'm not seeing? Please don't tell me I have to delete and re-create each box that have updated metadata information?
    Thanks for any tips.

    I get "live" updating of the metadata text in my book pages as soon as I finish entering the new text in the Metadata Inspector (ie, when I <tab> out of the Inspector's field.)
    However, I'm using metadata boxes that are defined +and linked+ in a Master Page. Could that be the difference? Or did this change as of 3.1.1?

  • Dynamic character count info as text box resizes

    Not knowing Javascript, does anyone think this is scriptable?
    When clicked inside a text box the info panel tells you how many characters are in view in that text box and how many are overset... it doesn't however display that info if you are resizing a text box by dragging one of the handles... do you think there may be a way of getting it or having onother info panel that displays how many character are inside the text box and how many are overset and it dynamically changes the read out as the user resizes the text box.
    Regards, Tim

    I don't think Javascript can do stuff "dynamically" -- you'd have to press a button to get the updated values. This sort of things is possible with InDesign, but it'd require writing a full plugin. Writing plugins is not for the meek, the faint-hearted, or the kind of people that enjoy their sanity.
    (OTOH I've been wrong a few times: APID, Rorohiko's script extensions -- http://www.rorohiko.com/ -- can perform a few tricks that used to be plugin-only. Check their website to see if there is something that sounds like your request.)

  • Lost IPTC Info

    I needed larger storage so I installed several internal HD's to cover future growth. After "upgrading" to CS4 and copying everything over, I seem to have lost a lot, not all, IPTC data on my images. Or should I say, more accurately, I lost all IPTC data on many images, not on all images. Metadata involving photo technicals are all still there, just not keywords and such.
    Is there any way to get it back?
    Thanks
    Petroffski

    By COPYING I mean dragging, from a mirrored RAID, 750 GB worth of digital photofiles, mostly modified RAW images, to an internal 1.5 TB HD and 300 GB worth of scans with IPTC data attached to another 1.5 TB internal HD. All of these RAW images and scans had IPTC metadata added as XMP sidecar files. All looked well. The raid was broken down to be used as backup disks and only after that, found out that probably half of the thousands of images had ALL of the XMP data files missing. All that they had was as-shot information, no keywords. XMP files were gone.
    Surely something happened during the drag and copy but that is not my concern (well maybe a little). I do have all of these images and XMP files backed up. I was hoping to avoid recopying these files from the backup.
    I just wanted to know if there is some place that the XMP files might have gone. I've since learned that if they are not with the file, they do not exist any more. If I'm wrong about this let me know as at least 20 hours of copying could be cut short. Otherwise I am now (shoulda done this in the first place!!) using my backup software to copy the pics and XMPs to their respective HD's.
    Thanks-

  • Photoshop changes file info xmp metadata - unknown to public domain?

    Curious if anyone has feedback or solution for the following:
    My PSD file's metadata enters photoshop with "unknown" as the copyright status, and then after I save it in a new format or with a new name
    , I notice that in Bridge the copyright status shows up incorrectly as "public domain." This is incorrent and should not change on
    its own. I've been using Photoshop with Bridge for many years, and have never seen this...

    I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
    in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
    is no longer the node that can be appended.
    Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
    <rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
    it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are  XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
    with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

  • How do I remove this black metadata box?

  • Get Info panel metadata all gone after upgrade to Yosemite!

    Shortly after upgrading to Yosemite I discovered that all the metadata I had typed into the Get Info panel for a multitude of image files has been wiped out! Need less to say I'm ****** off. What happened and is there any way to recover this info? On a related note I also discovered that the field where you type info now behaves like a tag entry field, where typing a comma creates separate snippets of text. Whose brilliant idea was that? Is there a preference that can be reset so the field will accept text normally? Thanks.

    I have the same problem, and no I haven't moved it.. but it's back to the default WIKI after the upgrade..
    It seems there's the data in there.. a good 7-8 gig's worth, so I'm not thinking that's the default/empty data.
    There IS a
    Config
    Config.original
    Actually.. I'm not sure about the exact wording cos I can't access the computer as Yosemite is hanging right now.. **** Yosemite, I'm never going there again...

  • Trouble maintaining original "date taken" info and metadata when exporting TIFFs from original CR2 files.

    When exporting TIFFs (from original RAW), I noticed my metadata said the "date created" was the day of export. I want to be able to access the date the original image was taken as opposed to the day I exported it. Is there a way to maintain original date of image taken in my info? I couldn't seem to find it after I exported my TIFFs...

    I just tested this with LR 5.5 Mac OS 10.9.3 and it works correctly for me.
    To troubleshoot your problem:
    1. Which version of LR and which platform (Mac, Windows)?
    2. Which tool or command are you using to examine Date Created of the exported TIFF?
    3. Upload a sample TIFF showing the problem to Dropbox or similar and post the URL here. This will allow us to take a look in detail.

  • Flex 3 Passing Event Info via Metadata

    As an opener, I am a complete new Flex user and a total novice.  This is my first crack at it and first post.  Now my problem, I am modifying and updating some existing Flex 3 code using the SDK.  I have completed all updates save one, The Alert messages HAVE NEVER WORKED, so I am trying to get those working.
    The application uses a parent mxml file, FileUploadApp.mxml which sets the stage and a canvas.
    That file uses a subordinate mxml file, FileUpload.mxml does all the work and places items on the canvas.
    FileUpload.swf is created, then included in FileUploadApp.swf.  Everything works except the Alert messages.  Communication from FileUploadApp.swf is as two fold:
    1) variables and constants are defined in FileUploadApp and used by FileUpload.
    2) evemts are defined in FileUpload and passed back to FileUploadApp via metadata.  All events are being passed back except button/mouse events.
    FileUploadApp code:
    <mx:Canvas width="400" height="300" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
    <com:FileUpload
      width="100%" height="100%"
      uploadUrl="{_strUploadScript}"
      uploadComplete="Alert.show('File(s) have been uploaded.', 'Upload successful')"
      uploadIOError="Alert.show('IO Error in uploading file.', 'Error')"
      uploadHTTPError="Alert.show('Upload Server Connection Lost.', 'Upload Failure')"
      uploadSecurityError="Alert.show('Security Error in uploading file.', 'Error')"
      btnCancel="Alert.show('You have canceled this upload.', 'Upload Cancled')"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
    FileUpload code:
    <mx:Metadata>
    [Event(name="uploadComplete", type="flash.events.Event")]
    [Event(name="uploadProgress", type="flash.events.ProgressEvent")]
    [Event(name="uploadCancel", type="flash.events.Event")]
    [Event(name="uploadIOError", type="flash.events.IOErrorEvent")]
    [Event(name="uploadHTTPError", type="flash.events.HTTPStatusEvent")]
    [Event(name="uploadSecurityError", type="flash.events.SecurityErrorEvent")]
    [Event(name="btnCancel", type="flash.events.MouseEvent")]
    </mx:Metadata>
    btnCancel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onbtnCancelClick);
    var mevt:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent("btnCancel");
    dispatchEvent(mevt);
    <mx:Button id="btnCancel" toolTip="Cancel upload" icon="@Embed('assets/cancel2.png')" width="26" click="onbtnCancelClick()"/>
    When the "btnCancel" button is clicked, the user should get the Alert message "Upload Cancled'.  All the other Alerts from events except the button events are being displayed.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    rtalton
    There are two mxml files:
    FileUploadApp.mxml => Sets the stage, some constants, some variables, all the Alerts from events and the canvas.
    There is a subordinate file, FileUpload.mxml =>  does all the work, has the images that are placed on the canvas and processes all events, but passes the events back to FileUploadApp.mxml to process the Alerts.
    FileUpload.mxml is compiled to FileUpload.swf and included into FileUploadApp.swf, all in the same compile.  Only FileUploadApp.swf is used in the Flash Player.
    Do no know why this path was chosen, as in my original message, this is code I am modifying and updating.  I have everything else running correctly except the Alerts.  I tried moving all Alert processing to FileUpload.mxml to avoid passing the event through metadata, but no joy.  The Alerts have to be processed where the original blank canvas is defined, that is FileUploadApp.mxml.
