LR v1.0 missing some very common EXIF data.

Just like in the beta, LR v1.0 is missing some of the main EXIF information that I see with other programs. I know about the setting to tell LR which EXIF data to show, and it's set to "All," so this isn't the problem.
My Minolta A2 RAW shots, for example, don't show the 35mm equivalent focal length. I find this data VERY useful in my work flow, so I really miss it. It's just too hard to have to constantly calculate this data since my cameras don't all have the same sensor size. I'm also missing quite a bit of the "camera specific" fields such as red-eye mode and some of the metering mode details. All of this info DOES show up in several other programs I've tried.
The EXIF info is clearly there, and it's common enough that other programs "see" it, so why is LR giving me such a limited list? It seems very odd to me that such a mainstream company like Adobe would display so much less of this data than software from several other MUCH smaller companies.
Thanks,
Larry

I just read over the instructions and tried Jeffrey's Metadata Viewer "Builder" tool, and it's really nice -- the instruction are clear and the Builder is quite intuitive. A big Thanks to Jeffrey for creating this and to Sid for pointing me to the page.
I was dumb and missed the intruction and creation pages at first, so here are some direct links for other people that may be as slow as I was:
Instruction page: http://regex.info/blog/2007-02-20/386
Preset Builder: http://regex.info/Lightroom/Meta/
One note: Jeffrey points out in the instruction page that the 35m Equiv Focal Length is not displaying in LR at the moment for some reason. He said he submitted this bug to Adobe. I wanted to mention this because this was a specific field I wanted to display, but apparently it's not possible to see it in LR at this time.
Thanks again,
Larry

  • New whistles and bells all very nice, but I miss some very basic tools

    Hi,
    I have been een LR user since a lon time, and I need to say that I really like the changes to the Development module.
    However I could not believe that we now have a bookmaking element, how sad is that while we are still missing some fundamental tools.
    I honest can not undertsand why this book stuff has been selected , which professional photographer will ever use this ?
    Instead I would like to have seen, utilities to correct perspectives and planes. Yes , the lens corrections can do a lot, but why not a Tilt/Shift feature ?
    That would allow use to corrected architectural images (such lines etc.....) without having to bail out and correct it in CS (transformations).
    Am I the only one that thinks this way, and just maybe AD will understand that they are spoiling the photographers tool for popularity .

    Many "professional" photographers would make use of the the Book module ... I make books for my clients routinely ... mainly wedding albums. I have and use InDesign, it's a wonderful tool ... but frankly, ID is overkill for many photo books. Wedding albums generally use very little text (which is where ID really shines) however, the big problem is ID can't work with RAW files ... by being able to design my albums directly in Lr ... it would save countless hours dealing the the thousands of extra derivative files needed to use ID or other album software ...
    Just the time savings of jumping from the Book module to the Develop module to make imediate adjustments to an image that would be instantly updated in the book can save hundres of hours in the course of a year for quite a few folks who earn a living with their photography ...
    Lr is not all I want it to be. Nor am I as excifted about some features I don't use as often as others may do. Though I usually won't question those persuits or label them as frivolous. Quite often, too many "professionals" throw out that term and forget they are not the only ones earning an income in the process and that they should show a little more tolerance as development moves forward. There should be room for everyone and acceptance that we all have different needs to accomplish our goals.

  • Lightroom strips very valuable EXIF data - details

    Hey everyone - I've just been playing around with some EXIF stuff, and I noticed something very concerning.
    I do a lot of macro photography, specifically with Canon's MP-E 65mm 1x-5x Macro. This lens records its macro magnification factor in the EXIF data, and does so far more accurately and conveniently than I can.
    I know that Lightroom and Photoshop strip out A LOT of obscure EXIF data when processed, but this magnification data is extremely valuable when reviewing my photos at a later date.
    I can provide sample files if needed, and here is my observations so far:
    - data stays intact when converting from .CR2 to .DNG
    - data is stripped when converting to JPG, TIFF, and other formats
    - data is stripped by both Lightroom and Photoshop
    Here is the EXIF data (from exiftool) right from the Canon CR2 or DNG file (both are identical):
    http://don.komarechka.com/exif/exif-original.txt
    Here is the EXIF data (from exiftool) from a jpg that has gone through Lightroom:
    http://don.komarechka.com/exif/exif-lightroom.txt
    You'll notice a HUGE amount of extra data in the original raw file. It is certainly worth noting that the EXIF data in a JPG, unaltered from the camera, contains all of the same data as the RAW file.
    So, is this something that has been overlooked, is there any way to change this behaviour? Even though Lightroom might not be able to decode this data, I don't see a reason why it cannot be left intact.
    Thank you.
    - Don Komarechka

    clvrmnky, thanks for your response.
    Here's an example for you, the one I've been giving:
    I shoot with a special macro lensm the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro. This lens does not zoom, but the magnification can change from 1x to 5x.This lens communicates its magnification to one decimal point accuracy to the camera, which adds it to the maker notes.
    This is important in reviewing images for a number of reasons, including calculating the effective aperture and depth fo field. This is a valuable piece of information that is stored within the makernotes that is removed from the image when sending it through LR, Photoshop, or ACR.
    That isn't the only valuable information, however.
    The makernotes will tell me if the image was captured using LiveView, if Mirror Lockup was used, if the shot is part of a bracketed set, what the internal camera temperature was, etc. etc.
    I'm not sure you've justified your reasoning behind why this block of data shouldn't be blindly copied. If it is removed simply because it is not understood, I would like the option to understand this data on my own, using third-party tools, after the image has left LR.
    I understand that this can be proprietary, but likely far less so than the RAW file formats that LR and ACR already understand. It would be trivial to understand where this block of data begins and ends and to leave it in the file on export.
    I think this would allow for more in-depth searching based on metadata, for whoever wants to take up that torch. For example, what if I want to see all macro photos I took at a 4x magnification or higher. What if I want to see all photo I took using LiveView. Even if LR doesn't want to do this, stripping the data out prevents anyone else from doing it in the future.
    Well, there is an SDK for metadata that has been around for awhile, which allows for custom metadata definitions. But, according to the SDK:
    "Values stored in custom metadata fields are stored only in Lightroom's database. In the current release, a plug-in cannot link custom metadata fields to XMP values or save them with the image file."
    So, this is more for searching and interfacing with tagset plugins.
    Even so, using the SDK to get at maker notes is a losing proposition.
    Note that some metadata is proprietary and will not be read into the database. This is to be expected. Lr is not an arbitrary metadata reading app, and there is no guarantee that any app could read all metadata. For example, Lr tries its best to get the serial number info, but this is because there is a lot of value in that for other Lr operations. So the contortions necessary to reliably get that is worth it. Another example is lens info (which is a twisty maze of passages; no app is ever guaranteed to actually retrieve lens info reliably in all cases) where there is a lot of value trying to extract the information that makers often store in very interesting ways. In some of those cases I think Lr will look in the maker notes, but only after exhausting other avenues, and with the caveat that it may never be able to get some information. The app does its best to get at the most valuable info it can get that fits with the standardized metadata models in place.
    However, the key here is that maker note data is not in exported files that Lr makes, because it is not normalized data that belongs to the vendor. (This obviates the recommendation of using Metadata Wrangler, which can filter out only that metdata that exists in Lr; I had vaguely remembered a setting that referred to this section but was wrong.)
    The field and data formats are not standardized, so you are asking Lr to understand most or all data from all or most lenses and bodies (all of it in varying degrees of similarity and difference) not just data from this lens and this body.
    This is also not a trivial matter of "copying" the maker notes over, because copying implies parsing and duplicating what is essentially unknown formatted data containing proprietary data, possibly by custom serialization routines. Remember that maker notes were never intended to be editable, and could be composed of any number of data formats. Some cameras make maker notes that are megabytes of nulls and nothing else!
    I think you are out of luck for this specific case.  Perhaps with EXIF 3 we will have a more standardized interface cameras and software can more easily interoperate on shared data. Makers need to stop using the maker notes! It was always an egregious hack.
    One workaround I can think of is to have a post-export action that uses EXIFTool to update exported images. For those cases where it matters, you could create your own "sidecar" file that has only the maker notes, and then shove those into the JPEG after they are created, or just read it from the on-disk copy and then put it in the new file (possibly in the same directory and added back into the catalogue for convenience.)

  • I recently reinstalled Snow leapod on my mac because I was having problems. I backed up everything onto disks, but after formatting, i quickly realized that some files did not transfer. I am missing some very important video footage. Please help me!

    I recently re-installed Snow leapod onto my macbook. Previously the system was running snow, I believe I may have visited a corrupt website or something. Anyhow, I backed up all of my information onto disks before reformatting, and the format went well. However, I realized after the fact that some important video footage did not transfer to my DVD-R's that I saved my data too. Is there any possible way I could recover this information? I'm trying to recovery software I found recomended online, but im not sure what the outcome of it will be. I know things are not looking good, but was hoping someone could please help me.

    Also, as for what I did. I put the OS disk into my computer, restarted it and ran through the screens to completely reinstall the OS. Then, I had to install my Snow Leapord CD because my origional OS was not the newer SL. Its my own fault, I just didnt think of every file off the top of my head before startign the process. I assumed everything was on the backup disks I had just burned.

  • Correlating some parameters in EXIF data

    Is there any way to correlate parameters such as Exposure Program and Metering Mode in the Advanced tab for EXIF properties of File Info shown in Photoshop Elements 4? All that is listed is a number rather than Aperture for Exposure Program of Matrix for Metering Mode. The camera is a Nikon D40X.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. On a one time or 30 day basis you can use the demo version of iView MediaPro to write the keyword, title and comments to the original file by following the instructions in first part of Tutorial #1. The demo is only good for 30 days so you can at least get your current files embedded.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Missing some records after Loading Data in Oracle 11g Release 1

    Hi All,
    I wrote a script to load one million records into the database using all insert commands.
    I know there is a faster way using SQL Loader- but i am in the process of learning but ran out of time.
    Anyhow, 1 million data was injected into the database but only 999998 records are there....does anyone know why?
    Is there a way I can find out which data was rejected?
    thanks

    Hello,
    It could be nice that your script spool a log.
    By that way, you could more easily catch the error and the detail of the rows rejected.

  • Missing EXIF data when using other photo apps besides "Camera"

    I have recently been trying to use the EXIF location and camera info information created with images in the iphone 3GS and noticed that the only image files that have the full EXIF data attached when imported to my computer are the images created using the iPhone native Camera app. I have numerous photo apps that take great photos which when downloaded are missing almost all the EXIF data.
    What is up? Is apple requiring third part apps to strip the data or somehow blocking them from capturing the EXIF location data for download?
    I know many of these apps are using the location data to geotag the images and link to maps.
    Thanks for any info!

    Thanks, I posted it there! Actually I have been searching for some site to officially post a bug report to Adobe, but didn't manage to find it myself...

  • Exif Data Not Showing Up in Web Gallery?!

    Actually it is showing "max aperture" but not the actual aperture I shot at - I now can see shutter speed... but the aperture I used for the shots aren't showing up - either way, I had fun shooting the eclipse last night!

  • IPhoto exif data

    Does iphoto strip some of the exif data from photos? I'm currently using iPhoto as my photo management tool and I also use photoshop elements to do some editing. When I view the photo info in iPhoto, it seems like the data is pretty skimpy.
    Specifically, I'm looking for white balance data (right now). I'm taking a photography course and was testing different white balance settings... and those settings aren't showing up in my photo info. I REALLY don't want to have to buy another program like Aperture, especially considering I already have photoshop. If iPhoto has this info somewhere, can you help me find it?!?!
    Please help!! Thanks!

    Erin:
    iPhoto doesn't strip the data it just doesn't read all of it. You can get all of the data read by using a 3rd party application likeEXIF Viewer. Just put the app in the Dock and drag a photo from iPhoto onto it. It will open and give you the following information:

  • ITunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs

    Can somebody help me?
    I have:
    + iPod Touch 4th Generation 32GB
    + Wi-fi connection
    + iOS5 installed
    iTunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs. The only tabs that's showing on my iTunes are Podcast, iTunes U, Search and Downloads
    Also, whenever I try to load un Podcast tab, it ALWAYS say Your request could not be completed.
    Thank you very much!

    Where exactly are the tabs that are showing, are they a list at the bottom of the page and next to it is the "More" option, or are you referring to the options on the More tab? You can move these options between the bottom of the page and the More section.
    Is that the problem, or is there something else missing? (Perhaps it would have helped if you had mentioned what is missing). If it's the Apps section you are looking for, it has its own App button on the Home screen.
    As for the problem with downloading Podcasts, I would try getting them in iTunes on your computer if you cannot download them via the Touch's Wi-Fi.

  • Missing/Corrupt EXIF Data

    I was looking at a folder of images today, and noticed that the camera data was not showing up and the images looked out of focus. Moments later the camera data showed up but the images still looked blurry (thumbs). Suddenly all the thumbs in the folder disappeared, being replaced by the .nef icon. I mean instantly, they all changed to the icon. I tried to open but got the message:
    "Could not complete the request because it is not the right kind of document. "
    So I tried to open it using DXO and it returned :
    "This image cannot be processed since its EXIF data cannot be read or is missing".
    Right click the image and the File Info is missing from the menu.
    How does this happen? I have opened these images in the past. I can imagine the instant insanity should all my .nef's suddenly do this!
    I am using Bridge running Photoshop CC on Win 7 64 bit. The .xmp data exists according to Win Explorer. There is no Bridge cache showing for the folder in Win explorer.
    I am unsure as to whether this belongs here or in Bridge or???

    I don’t think WFW would know about any outsider accessing the file on dropbox since it runs on your local computer.  If this is the first time you’ve used dropbox, it may have been asking for permission for dropbox to access your local system via the public network (there are local, domain and public tiers in the firewall rules) since dropbox synchronizes things between computers via the data stored in the dropbox cloud storage. 
    In other words, I downloaded the file to my local computer using the public link you provided, and wasn’t logged in as you, so would have been accessing the dropbox cloud for retrieve the file but not be logged in as you, but I don’t think the WFW would know I was doing anything for that interaction because that is between me and the cloud, not something on your local computer.  Depending on how you answered the WFW question, you may have blocked dropbox from doing its normal things.  You can get into the WFW configuration in Admin Tools (or maybe Control Panel) and enable things for a particular program that you may have disabled by mistake.
    Back to the corrupted file issue:  spot-check a few of the bad files on the backup, right-click Properties, and look at the Created Date and Modified Date, compared to the expected date the backup first would have copied them, to see if either indicates the date the zeros were written.  You might want to compare those dates on files that are ok, to see if there is some difference in pattern.  It is possible the backup software updates those dates to be what the source files dates are which might mask the backup-software's last-copy date, which is what you want.
    If you can determine the date for the zeros and it is fairly recent, then the system event log might list something as having occurred. 
    If there haven't been any viruses, then I'd say it was a transient condition, either in the circuit-boards or cabling or the hard-drive media, itself. 
    Has the computer ever locked up so you had to turn the power off to get control back of the mouse? 
    You can test the hard-drive media for errors by chkdsk d: /r or chkdsk d: /b (or the gui-scandisk equivalents) to scan for data errors--iffy media problems.  Move any virtual-memory swapfile off that drive if you want to test it while the computer is running.  Maybe do a plain chkdsk, first, one where you don't fix problems and don't test the media, which would find problems indicated with zeros in the directory-structure, first.  And if you find any of those, disconnect your backup drive in case the "fixes" corrupt even more things and that gets replicated.
    A chkdsk that fixes media problems will likely take several/many hours.

  • EXIF Data Display missing

    What I'm really missing in Album is displaying of some EXIF-Data (Shutter Speed, ISO).
    Other Apps like QuickPic show in three small rows the important data. But because of Google's restrictions I can not delete images with this app, so it's uncomfortable to switch between two apps.
    I would love this in the Album-App.

       I'm feeling totally ignored.   

  • EXIF data missing

    For some reason when I connect up my camera to aperture it no longer copies the EXIF data across to metadata. I get the photo's however no metadata ( focal lenght, AWB, etc). Sure I have done something stupid however can not resolve issue.

    Does it look like this?
    That is the view I get, when I open a jpeg, that has been edited by a program that does not save the jpeg, like with Panorama Maker.
    For some cameras only certain fields will be missing, like "Lens", when I import them directly, like this. Aperture simply cannot understand the EXIF tag for the lens model.
    But if all EXIF fields are missing, that looks like the files are not correctly imported from your camera.
    Are you importing into Aperture using the "Import panel"? What is your Aperture version?
    Can other programs read the EXIF correctly? If you import to a folder in the Finder and look at the EXIF with Preview or another program, are the data there?  Have you tried importing using a card reader instead directly from the camera?  Or importing from a different card?
