Making exif data viewable in flickr

I'm trying to make my photos exif data viewable to the public in my flickr account but can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks

I selected the All option in the Metadata dialog box for publishing photos to flickr but there still isn't any information regarding aperture, shutter speed, camera, lens, basically all the information anyone ever looks at exif data for isn't there. I also set my flickr account to allow everyone to view the exif data but thers still isn't anything showing?

EXIF data filtered when exporting to Flickr

I've noticed that some EXIF data seems to be filtered out when exporting photos to Flickr via Aperture's built-in Flick exporter.
For example, if I export same photo using Flickr's upload page, then using Aperture's built-in Flickr exporter, then re-download original back to my computer, the fields like "lens size" are missing from the copy exported by Aperture.
There's few other fields that are silently filtered out by Aperture. Looking at the differences between two copies of the same photo re-downloaded back from Flickr, examples include fields such as digital zoom, subject distance, focus mode, macro mode, firmware version, serial number, owner name (and the list goes on)...
While one could argue that some fields contain personal information, there's my real name on my Flickr account, so having serial number or owner name in EXIF data removed is kind of pointless for my use case. Also, there's tons of photos I exported in the past to various photo sharing sites containing these headers anyhow.
I'd really like to preserve some interesting and useful (technical) fields such as lens size or subject distance. Is there a way to tell Aperture "I don't care, the world already knows this stuff, don't filter EXIF info when exporting"?

Hi Raja,
Not sure, what version are you in, but must not be in latest.
You have to write a e-text to get csv/txt of the desired format.
By default, if you are not in latest version, you will see some data when you select csv without E-text template

Exif Data to Flickr not the complete list.

I noticed that after I edited a photo and uploaded it to Flickr,that some of the METADATA from the Aperture page ie: lens model,lens distance etc is not being included in the Flickr EXIF data, most of it is there but a few items don't seem to be sent with the editing... why is this so...?
Mike

Mike, it could have something to do with Flikr. I have noticed similar problems when uploading images to Flikr via the built-in Flikr upload in Aperture. I'm not saying it would be any different if you uploaded the images to Flikr outside of Aperture, but you could give it a try. If your EXIF data is showing in Aperture, than it most likely has something to do with the way Flikr is handling your images once uploaded. Either way, don't expect to get much support from Flikr.
Most recently, I have noticed that time and date aren't showing up properly on selected images in Flikr after uploading images to their servers. Now this could be due to something in my images, as these particular images weren't the originals off of my camera. However, that data does show up in Aperture, and therefore must be embedded in the image files, so not sure why Flikr wouldn't capture it.
I'll be paying attention to this thread to see if anyone has any further ideas.

IPhoto not exporting Aperture EXIF data

Does anyone know why iPhoto will store the aperture value from the original EXIF data, however it will drop this information when exporting? I store my pictures on flickr and keep the EXIF data visible, but no matter how I export it will continually cut out a lot of EXIF data, including this important piece of information.

How are you exporting? Are you using a flickr plugin for iPhoto? If so that's what's stripping the info from the file. If you export from iPhoto to the Desktop via the File->Export->File Export all of the EXIF data is preserved and you can include the keywords, comments and file name.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

From Bridge To PS To Export - EXIF Data Lost

Hi all,
I'm wondering what happens to my EXIF data when I import a Canon RAW file via ACR from Bridge to PS. When I export the file as a JPG and then right-click the jpg properties, none of the camera data is recorded. Perhaps there is a tick-box I've just not ticked?
Also, if I add keywords in Bridge, should they carry through the export process? I'm interested to know if it's possible to auto complete the keyword field in flickr when uploading an image.
CS5 with W7 and Canon 5Dii RAW.
Thanks in advance.

Can you be a little more explicit about the exact steps you're taking?
I just opened an image from Bridge into Photoshop by right-clicking a CR2 file, choosing Open In Camera Raw, then hitting the [Open] button in the Camera Raw dialog. Then I did File - Save As - JPEG, and all the camera metadata was retained (per Explorer's Properties, Details tab).
When you say "export", exactly how are you saving the file? With File - Save For Web & Devices, there's a Metadata field that allows you to specify how little or how much to keep.

IPhoto '08 loses exif data when exporting RAW to JPG

I'm using a Canon 40D shooting only RAW. I just recently noticed that when I export to JPG, iPhoto loses quite a bit of important EXIF data, including, aperture info.
Is this a known issue, or is it something unique to my system?

I guess I misworded it. I understand that the info doesn't go away or come back. Either there's a problem in both Finder and flickr (I've uploaded the file to flickr.com) where neither finds the info in the jpeg or there's a problem in the way iPhoto writes the EXIF data to the file.
Today, I downloaded EXIFViewer for an alternate look at the EXIF fields and the aperture data is there according to EXIFViewer. So, now I think the bug may be with flickr. Can't really call it a bug in Finder, since the expected functionality for finder is not to get "aperture info", but "More info."
In any case, these are the fields in the More Info:
|RAW:Name_|_RAW:Value_|_JPEG:Name_|_JPEG:Value|
|Dimensions|2586x3892|Dimensions|2586x3892|
|Device make|Canon|Device make|Canon|
|Color space|RGB|Color space|RGB|
|Profile name|Adobe RGB (1998)|Profile name|Generic RGB Profile|
|Focal Length|44|Focal Length|44|
|Alpha channel|0|Alpha channel|0|
|Red eye|0|Red eye|0|
|FNumber|4|
|Exposure|1/60|Exposure|1/60|
|Last opened|Monday, May 19, 2008 6:31 PM|Last opened|Today, 9:31am|
And the meta info on flickr is here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carloscervantes/2536040124/meta/
Again, no aperture data in either flickr or Finder.

Batch Change "Date Modified" to match Exif Data After iPhoto Export

Among several other posts about similar situations, I have found none that directly and simply resolve this issue.
My wife imported a bunch of photos into iPhoto directly, but I wanted them in a folder on the hard drive.
I pulled them out of iPhoto into a folder, then deleted the ones in iPhoto so that I could sort them and reimport.
I then realized that the photos all now showed the date they were imported into iPhoto as their created/modified dates, which makes it impossible to easily sort them by the date of the pictures.
I checked the Exif data, and it has preserved the correct creation date event though checking "info" on the pictures shows create date the same as modified the same as iPhoto import.
Is there an easy way to batch change an entire folder of pictures to change the Created/Modified dates to match the Created date from the Exif data?
The only other similar posts had answers that reccomend a piece of software that does not seem to actually do this, and one that suggests some sort of confusing script that I don't really understand.
Please help - I have a bunch of family photos that I really need to fix.

shootShifter helps to redate and rename complete folders of images based on the EXIF data or Finder dates.
So it will do batches.
I also believe that exporting the Original (File -> Export: Kind Original) will make all of this unnecessary.
I don't like having them only in iPhoto so I organize the originals into folders by choronological event then import them so I have copies outside the iPhoto library to put elsewhere.
You understand that you're using twice the disk space there, right? And that it's quite unnecessary. All iPhoto does is to put them in folders too. Have you looked inside the iPhoto Library ever?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed. Your photos are in the Masters folder.
Standard warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

IPhoto '08 corrupts EXIF data on export

Hello All,
In using iPhoto '08 (including the latest update to 7.1) I am noticing the when I export files the EXIF data is getting corrupted.
My original files are fine--all EXIF data shows up properly, and galleries which I post to that are capable of displaying EXIF data display it just fine. However, when I export a file from iPhoto to JPG format, the galleries are unable to display the EXIF data. Using the Firefox extension, 'EXIF Viwer' ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905 ), I see there are errors in the data (screenshot here: http://jaaulde.com/exif_viewer.png )
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jim

Jim:
It may be the server side software that's causing the problems. Another thread went thru something like this extensively and we found that files from some cameras, Canons for one, are not read properly by the software. We've downloaded the files and read the EXIF data and it was all there. I have a gallery of files from various cameras as an example: http://gallery.mac.com/toad.hall/100196. Click on the "i" button in the slideshow and you'll see those that get the EXIF data correct, primarily the shutter speed, and those that do not. I don't remember the thread but you can search this forum for "EXIF web gallery" or similar.

EXIF data - Why is so much is missing in LRx but in RAW / DNG / CR2 images

I've seen the limitations in the EXIF data as shown in LR. I've seen the comments that it would be SO useful to sort / filter by all the EXIF data available in LR.
However LR shows a small proportion of the information that is available in the Meta data but there is missing EXIF data, that is of use to users, not every day, but it is there and with the aforementioned improvement of searching / sorting / grouping / stacking, I'd like this data to be accessible.
I was looking to find all the correctly exposed images in sets of 3 auto bracketted images -2, 0, +2 from todays shoot but this info is not listed in LR
So I looked in PhotoGrok, and it told me that the image I was looking at was AEBBracketValue -2, ie 2 stops under exposed in a set of auto bracket.
It also told me my camera was 37º when I was shooting in Cape Town this morning. It most certainly was not that warm outside.
My reason for finding the correctly exposed images in the sets was to see if they had sufficient exposure data to be used as one image rather than combining the 3 bracketted images using fusion / enBlend software to rescue the shadow detail and highlight detail in my shoot.
If you do play with PhotoGrok, you see more info than may be / is / could possibly be useful. But it does list a great deal.
I do get the basics
exposure
aperture
focal length
35mm equivalent
focal distance
hyperfocal distance
colour balance
AEBBracketValue
and the list goes on.
More importantly, this data has been extracted by LR from Canon 5DII CR2 files to DNG, so LR can see all this info.
Anyway, that is my request.
There is limited EXIF data displayed in LR, there are requests for sorting / searching / listing / stacking by more of the meta data that LR accesses.
I would like to see much more of this data available to be sorted / searched / stacked, so I can find amongst all the EXIF data, the AEBBracketValue = 0, ie correctly exposed images.
Rob Cole - Does your anyfilter access more of this info?
Hillrdg- you asked me to give my motivations for making suggestions, so I''ve taken your advise on board and to substantiate my argument.
yes, there is a workaround - It is to sort all the photos by capture time or file number and arrange them into 3 images in a grid view and just select the correct column, but this is slow. More importantly, this request is about vastly improving access to EXIF data and for other uses of the vast amount of EXIF data available in images.

Now I was under the impression Preview/Versions only take up a miniscule space on the HD since they don't FULLY copy the master file, they more create a bridge between the two that amounts to a few MB. Is it possible that it's taking up a much larger amount than intended here (a la the same basic mail attachment problem, but with Preview)? If so, what directory would that be located in?
Apple's documentation on Versions and what is kept in the Versions database is misleading, in my experience, though others will argue to the contrary.
In any case, all the Versions files and the database that keeps track of them are in an invisible folder in the root directory called
.DocumentRevisions-V100
The easiset way to check its size is to show invisible files by pasting the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder
press 'return' on the keyboard.
Now navigate to the hard disk in Finder and you should see DocumentRevisions and its size.
To turn off invisible files, use the same command as above but replace TRUE with FALSE.

Save keywords in exif data

I am a new Mac user nearly completely reprogrammed from MS, but I have one issue that is keeping me from switching 100%.
When I use Vista's image manager or Picasa, I can embed keywords(tags) right into the images (which are stored on a server), and that embedded keyword data is then available to all other users of the images. This to me seems fundamental to image management today (even Vista has it standard).
Does someone have some method to get keywords into the exif data of the original file? I don't want to mess with exporting/copying etc.
Apple? what's up with this? The keyword tool is fantastic, yet nearly useless to me...
Thanks.

mlwruble:
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.

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!

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:

EXIF data lost when edited and exported to Picasa web

I use iPhoto 6. If a geotagged photo is scaled and exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data are preserved and recognized by Picasa web. But if the same photo is edited (crop, contrast...) and then exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data don't appear. I've tried the export operation manually and through the plugin, but it always happens the same. How to avoid this? Does it happen too with iPhoto 8? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes and no. With iPhoto 8 you can export with an option to include the keywords, titles and comments. But I don't know if geotags are included. Ask in the iPhoto 8 forum as I know geotags have been discussed there. Do a search in that forum for "geotags" or similar.

Exif data when exporting images

Hi, I have question about Aperture writing its signature in the exif data when i export pictures to websites like Flickr, in the past i used DPP, and it always shoved "digital photo professional" under more properties, just this is missing all the rest is there.
Is there a way i can get Aperture to get that pice of information in there......?
Jess Thorsen

There's a simpler method which you might consider using.
What file naming convention are you using on import? Why not rename your camera files on import into Aperture something like " dateclient_joboriginalfilename ". You could then either use that, or export with that name plus a sequential numbering scheme.
Or -- the same as Viren's excellent suggestion -- select all the files you are going to export, create duplicate versions, with the duplicates still selected create a new Album containing all of them, then use Aperture to rename the Versions prior to export and export using the Version name. Versions don't use much space (they are text files), and you end up with an Album of neatly numbered Versions of just the photos you've given to your client +with the file names of their files exactly the same as your Aperture Version names+.

Exif data lost?

whenever i work with RAW files in Aperture, i always loose the exif data. Even the camera make does not show up when i post to flickr. I have all updates for aperture.
My cameras are Rebel XT and Leica DLux3

what does the preset that you are using to export the images say about exif data ???
there is a checkbox that includes or strips the metadata for presets ...
check that first ...

EXIF data for PNG files

I seem to have lost all EXIF data for pictures that I first converted to PNG format, and then edited in iPhoto.
The EXIF data is still there in the copies of the files in the "Originals" folder in the iPhoto Library. If I open these files with Graphic Converter, I can see the EXIF data.
But the EXIF data seems to be missing from the PNG files in the "Modified" folder.
Is this some sort of quirk with PNG files in iPhoto?
Dual 867 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I just googled this and the issue appears to be that png does not support EXIF data, or if it does, only in a very limited way. I'm no expert in this field but have a read of this:
