Meta data & Exif data in MobilMe Web Gallery - where did it go?

I can't seem to get web gallery to publish the meta data with the photos. When you visit the web gallery website, clicking on the image thumbnail reveals options to click the "i" button which supposedly allows viewers to examine meta data & exif data.
I would be greatly appreciative if someone could confirm or disconfirm this issue for any web galleries they have created.
Thanks in advance,
CD

The only way that I get EXIF etc metadata to show up on the information page in web galleries is to enable downloading of images. This seems to do the trick in making the info page work. I have not tried disabling download in the settings, republishing, and seeing if the image metadata still displays. Just one more quirky thing about webgallery - what really stinks is there is no way to get Aperture to put downloadable images with an sRGB profile into a webgallery. Even if the original is an sRGB it converts the downloadable version to AdobeRGB.

Exif Data Not Showing Up in Web Gallery?!

Some of my exif data is missing from my web gallery! f-stop, shutter speed missing.. check it out:
http://gallery.mac.com/johnnymcclung

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!

I want to customize the "HTML Gallery" web gallery template in Bridge CS6.

Using Win7 64bit + PS CS6 64 bit ext on a 16GB PC. In which folder do I find the web gallery templates for Bridge CS6? Is there info available on how the programming/configuration works with the info passed by Bridge - filename, contact info, copyrights, description/title, email, etc.
Please point me to any sources of info.
I lke the idea of setting-up a gallery directly from bridge. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi JJMack,
Can you please explain how you use Phoshop Scripts to generate web galleries? I've created a Photoshop script to bulk add captions/descriptions from a text file to image files, so I have some JS scripting skill. Are you willing to share your scripts?
I really like the ability to setup the oder of my gallery in Bridge (images in rows and columns) then directly generate a small 20-40 image gallery, with descriptions, file names, etc.
I'm also looking at Lightroom 5 to produce small web galleries. It appears that the post-processor from Turning Point is suggested.
I only use the Bridge as a metadata Editor and I do not use Lightroom. I know the Bridge can be scripted where files can be selected in Bridge the passed to Photoshop and Photoshop Scripts like the Image Processor scripts through Bridge talk. My script does not have Support for the Bridge through Bridge talk. You may be able to add that support, My Scripts use some of the metadata fields like Photoshop Wed Galleries used them and also has an option to support EXIF information. When the Web Gallery is created Photoshop starts your web browser on it like Photoshop Web Gallery feature did so you can verify it, My Script does not Upload the galleries to you web server like the Bridge output module can. I rather use FTP then tie up Photoshop transferring the gallery over the web. My Scripts are just hacks of a Script Jeff created for the Simpleviewer Flash Web Gallery, The script support that Flash Gallery and their other Flash Galleries and the Flash WS-Slideshow Gallery so mobile devices without Flash support can not view my galleries. So some nice tablets with High resolution displays are not supported, The Scripts basically uses canned HTML for the Gallery Viewer and writes the XML file for your Images getting the information for title and description ect from the image files metadata, The Format of the gallery is also controlled in the XML file written by the script. I just hack at JavaScript and because I don't use the Bridge for selection and order it did not brother me that Jeff's code did not support or use Bridge talk It simply includes all image from a folder into the gallery it creates. It uses Photoshop Script to create the gallery tree with Thumbnails and web size images with optional visible watermark text stamp, Web image size is set like fit image my scripts default size is 1600x1200. All my Photoshop stuff is free and downloadable from this link

Editing Web Gallery options and Cmd-I

When I created a web gallery I did not check the option "Allow photo uploading by email". Now that the gallery is up, I'd like to enable that option but I can't figure out how to do it. The only way I've found to do it is to just republish the event as a new web gallery. That's not ideal.
I went to the gallery's web page but couldn't find a way modify any options there either. Am I missing something or is the only way to change that option is to delete and recreate the web gallery? If I do that then any links I have sent out to other people becomes invalid as a new URL is created.
I also noticed that the "Smart Album Info..." (Cmd-I) menu option is active under Photos in the menu bar, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Chip

Choose the Web Gallery in the source list on the left, and click the Settings button in the toolbar. You'll be able to change settings there, including allowing photo uploading by email. Even though the button says Publish, it will simply update the settings for that web gallery.

Meta data missing in Web Gallery

When uploading images to my web gallery Aperture generates small and medium size jpeg files of my images. These jpegs does not include meta data. Has anyone seen this too?
If I select to "Allow" "Downloading of:" (Optimized Images, Actual Size Images, Optimized & Master Images) then Aperture will generate large size jpegs that include meta data.
Can it be right that you have to upload and generate the larger optimized jpegs in order to show meta data in your web galleries?
I am running Aperture 2.0.1 and Leopard 10.5.2

It seams that others have seen the same minor bug or feature as outlined above. Question seams answered.

Web Gallery - Changing Exif data

I was setting up a web gallery and liked the EXIF example, however, it showed the Camera model (OK) but also the serial number which I don't want there. Is it possible to change this?
Cheers Peter

There is undocumented and
absolutely unsupported way of adding formatting information into the Text Template Editor that will allow you to add line breaks and make the text bold etc.
It uses the form:
<ag:formatted><br /></ag:formatted>
for line breaks and
<ag:formatted><b></b></ag:formatted>
for bold. Just place your text or token in between the <b></b>
What ever appears between the<ag:formatted> tags HAS to be VALID XML or it will simply break. That is why the br tag has the trailing / on the end. This is the equivalent of <br></br>
I will make a text template as an example and post it later.

CS3: Save For Web and keeping EXIF data???

I thought CS3 made a change to allow maintaining EXIF data within a file when using the Save For Web Option. I have Not found any option or preference for this. And when I use the Save For Web option, I loose the original time/date the images were captured. Since I use 2 different cameras where the file names are different, I rely on this Image Creation date when sorting them within an on-line gallery.
So my question is, IS there truly a way within CS3 to maintain an images EXIF data?
thanks;

[advertising link deleted]

I've done this in the past, however... These images then show a color shift when displayed in a web gallery. I am trying to avoid this, that's why when I heard (thru several sources) that in CS3 the "{Save for Web" could/would leave EXIF data intact vs. earlier versions of Photoshop. The "Save for Web" option does display image colors correctly.
This is bad enough, when, while calibrated, colors in Wen galleries appear different between my Mac and PC displays (desktop & laptops)
...but then this is a different issue all together.

Web gallery is no longer date sorted?

Hi all,
Hopefully this should be an easy one for you to help me with...
- I have a web gallery via iPhoto '08 of my twins for all the relatives to see. If I look at the web gallery album in iPhoto, the photos are sorted in date order which I have selected to do so.
- However, if I access this gallery over the web the photos are not in date order, so now I have pictures of my little ones at 3 months, intermingled with photos of them at birth. All very confusing for the eager viewers.
How do I fix this so it will always be sorted by date?
Thanks in advance.
Dan.

Dan:
Yes, there's a "quirk" in that. Here's how to get around it. Sort the gallery in iPhoto by date and then move one photo to another position and then back again. Hit the publish button and the online gallery should update to the order that's in iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Add exif-data while / after saving for web?

I use "save for web" quite often. However; i would like to add some exif-data to the picture after it is saved. Is there any way to do this with JavaScripting in Photoshop (CS3) ?

There are limits to the kind of exif data that you can alter in an image. Most
of it can't be touched. You need to use an external app like Bridge or exiftool:

Removing Exif Data with out using "Save for Web"

I have very large files. I need to remove thw EXIF data. I do not want to use "save for web" because it impacts the quality and size (recompresses) of the files. I need the files to remain un changed except for the removal of the EXIF data.
I have a large number of files to do this to.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks Tai Lao for the shortcuts.
I have RAW files to start. I "process" them and convert to jpg. Then send them to the client. But there are times the client doesn't need to be able to view the EXIF data, soooo....
1. I'm working on seting up an action to convert the processed RAW files to TIFF first,
2. then, using the shortcuts you listed, set up an action to take the tiff files through the process to strip them of the EXIF data and,
3. then convert the resulting "EXIF-less" TIFF files to jpg - also using an action. I'm going to try to build one action to do the whole thing but so far I'm still experimenting... I have to keep the file names...
Anyway, I'll post my findings.
Thanks
To whomever left the info about Exiftool - Thanks for that info as well. I'll check it out but is seems a bit too complicated for large numbers of files.

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.

Web Gallery Data preset?

Is it possible to preset the data for the web gallery fields? I realise there is a drop down for previously used terms, but it would be faster if I could save settings that will apply to every gallery (eg. contact name, mailto, web address etc.)
Thanks

David,
After you have everything set as you like it, click "Add" under "Template Browser" and give your new template a name. Ckicking on that will bring back all of your preset data each time you want to create a new gallery.

Web gallery - any way to use IPTC data by itself beside metaset??

Hi,
I try to customize a template. I know that I can use the metasets to include the requested metadata - BUT is there any way to use other fields?
so far I found
PageTitle
metavalue
But even those spaceholders can't be used as i.e. the alt tag.
Is there any way to get for example the Image Name (or other fields from the database) as a space holder??
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks

Hey, wow that was a quick reply
Well all my photos are in Aperture, so I did think that I could grab the EXIF data from there and then place them in text boxes on my pages. I have hundreds of photos and doing it that way could take a long time! I was curious to see if there was something that would automate this for me within iWeb. For example, RapidWeaver allows you to check a tick box to display EXIF data under each photo. That's what im looking for within iWeb

Flash (Photoshop) Web Gallery data

I have created a web gallery using Photoshop CS2 to allow my
clients to proof their images. From this gallery I want to allow
them to flag images they like then submit the selections to me via
email. Currently they are using the gallery just to view the
images. There is not a way to mark the images or to submit them via
email. The clients have to manually write down the file names, type
and email, and send it to me.
1. Can the function of selection boxes be added to the web
gallery? I do not own the full flash program.
2. Can the file names for the selected images be put into an
email to me using a submit button?
How are both of these task performed?
Thanks

1) Yes it can but you will need to modify the flash movie so
*someone* will need to know how to change the flash movie.
2) Yes this is possible but you'll either need your flash
movie to talk to the server and have the server send the email or
figure out how to get Flash to use the client's mail program. They
may or may not have one installed. Here's a tutorial for the second
option:

Data not dynamically updating in photo gallery

The page in question is
this
photo gallery.
The primary issue is when one thumbs through the images, the
"photoID" does not update. It remains at the first "photoID" that
is encountered, and in this case, it is 729. The "title",
"description" and so forth remain locked to the first entry as
well, yet the photograph updates "@path".
I've been working at this for almost two days and have tried
almost every possible combination. I've copied over the older
framework files from my other site (which has this working
successfully), modified it to work in this instance, and it fails
here. The XML output is correct.
function photogallery(){ //Photo gallery
?>
<div class='right'>
