O.T.  Exif Tool

ExifTool - Read and Write Meta Information
ExifTool is a Perl Module with an included command-line application for reading and writing meta information in image, audio and video files. It recognizes EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3 meta information (and more!) as well as the maker notes of many digital cameras including Canon, Casio, FujiFilm, JVC/Victor, Kodak, Leaf, Minolta/Konica-Minolta, Nikon, Olympus/Epson, Panasonic/Leica, Pentax/Asahi, Ricoh, Sanyo, Sigma/Foveon and Sony.

I just saw that too, I think I will get it.
My G5 iMac just had a problem with the power supply. However, its a known problem and will be repaired by Apple for nothing. I will get a new power supply and a new logic board free.
Actually I turned it off before the logic board got fried, I could smell the power supply and shut it down before it cooked off.
First problem Ive ever had with any of my Macs.
All the wedding pictures are sitting on it,,,,,,,
Oh well, it will only take a day to fix.

  • Exif tool and Export Jpeg and Tiff files

    I run Lightroom 4.4 under Apple OS X10.4.4
    When I export files Exif Tool (in Graphic Converter) under ICC header shows for Jpeg "Primary Platform = Microsoft and for = Tiff Apple; and under ICC Profile Color profile for Jpeg = HP but Adobe 1998 for Tiff.  I can see that there is a difference between the profile for Jpeg and Tiff (eg sRgb and Adobe1998) but don't follow why the Primary platform differs and shows Microsoft for Jpeg and that the jpeg profile is HP.  Can anyone explain, please, and dose it matter anyway?   Thanks  Clive

    A overview of ICC profile tags is here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/ICC_Profile.html
    Why the difference in the PrimaryPlatform tag, I don't know, it does not matter.
    The ProfileCopyright tag is HP for sRGB, Kodak for ProPhotoRGB and Adobe for AbobeRGB (1998) of course.

  • Loss of Captions only in Olympus Camera photos

    Loss of Captions only in Olympus Camera photos after migrating from Mac OS 10.5.11 and AP2 to Mac OS 10.6.4 and AP 3.03
    I have had a problem where the captions written in Aperture 2 on a PowerMac G5 PPC running Mac 10.5.11 are no longer visible after migrating the photos to a new iMac running Mac OS 10.6.4 and AP 3.03. This occurs only in photos taken on Olympus Digital Cameras, no other brands are affected that I’ve seen (i.e. Nikon, Casio, Canon, Pentax). It occurs in both Preview and Aperture 3, replacing the previous Caption data with “OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA”. However, if the same photo is returned unchanged to the older Mac, the correct captions are still visible. Also, Graphic Convertor and CS2 are able to read the correct captions in the IPTC data on the new system. Brand new photos imported directly into AP3 in the new system do not seem to be affected, although I have not used it enough to be sure that it will not happen in the future.
    I believe that this is a problem with a change in how the new Mac OS reads IPTC data. I think the new system reads data from the EXIF (and XMP) fields in preference to the IPTC information, and if there is any information in those other fields, it will not read the IPTC caption. For most camera brands this is not much of a problem, because they do not automatically place any caption information in these fields. However Olympus seems to desire to place it’s name everywhere in the metadata, and their standard metadata include writing “OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA” in the EXIF caption field (a very good reason never to use Olympus cameras in my opinion). If you ever have used Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (I have used fairly old versions only, this may have changed) to edit your photos in Aperture or previously in iPhoto and then migrated to Aperture, I noticed that the photos then have XMP metadata with “Olympic Digital Camera” written in many different fields, which also takes precedence over the IPTC caption in the Mac OS 10.6.x.
    It is a very difficult problem, as once the AP2 library and referenced masters are brought over to the new system and upgraded to AP3, everything looks fine initially in the AP3 Library - even the captions are still there. However, pretty soon Aperture will start to realize that something has changed in the masters (even though nothing has really changed in the photo itself, just the way the system reads the IPTC metadata) and it will start to update the library, replacing your captions with “Olympus Digital Camera”. If you catch it early and try to stop the “updating” by using the “Write IPTC metadata to Masters” command, it will often not do anything, sometimes it will fix the problem for some photos and other times it will proceed to overwrite your previous captions with the Olympus caption - so don’t do that! I have tried all kinds of work arounds, and many of the more obvious options don’t help. I contacted Apple Support and Aperture, their response was that it was Olympus’ problem and a problem with the IPTC conventions. Olympus had no useful options either.
    The best solution I have found so far is using ExifTool to remove the EXIF image description field, and the whole XMP box if the photo has been edited with Adobe products in the past. It’s time consuming process and a little intimidating for a terminal neophyte like me, but it’s easier than rewriting thousands of captions (and even if you do rewrite them in Aperture, Aperture will still change it back to “Olympus Digital Camera” once it decides that the master is somehow different than before). I will try to describe what has worked for me - some situations may be different. In particular, I suspect that writing the IPTC data to the masters upon exporting them for migrating to the new system makes this problem worse, as it causes Aperture 3 to realize that something has changed in the masters and make it update them; however often the masters without the IPTC will not be recognized for reconnecting. Consolidating the photos projects to be exported to the new system seems to help prevent problems within Aperture with the captions, but if you ever export the masters or use referenced masters, the problem will still be there until the EXIF caption is removed. I previously exported the masters (with the IPTC written them upon export in AP2) and then reconnected them in AP3, but this often seems to cause more problems with lost photos, time changes (mostly in the Adobe edited photos) and AP3 recognizing the master as “changed” and updating it, thereby losing the original captions.
    Rule No. 1 - if at all possible, keep a copy of your original masters and Aperture 2 libraries as back ups (and it’s nice to be able to use them on your old system) - I’ve had to re-use them several times until I got things right. If your AP Libraries and masters are on a external HD, it may be best to make an exact clone of it (with the exact same name for the HD), so that you will not have to reconnect or relocate your masters.
    You will probably want to see if you really have this problem before trying to fix it. Open the master taken with an Olympus camera that had a caption written to it in Aperture 2 in Preview and look at the caption information (command-I) under IPTC - if it says “Olympus Digital Camera” where you previously had something else, then it’s a problem. Under the TIFF (which is really from the EXIF data) box in Preview information, it will say the same thing under image description. With the same photo, if you import it into Aperture 3, it will also have “Olympus Digital Camera” as the IPTC caption. If it is already in Aperture 3 from a previous version, if you click on the photo for a full view, you may see the previous caption “update” to “Olympus Digital Camera”. Your actual master is okay (you can look at it in CS, Graphic Convertor, or an older Mac running 10.5. If you have never written anything in the IPTC caption, this problem is not visible, but you still have the EXIF Olympus caption waiting there to cause trouble in the future.
    If you already have problems with changing captions on several photos in Aperture 3 Libraries, it is usually easier to just start over than to fix the photos one by one. Most fixes keep on reverting back until you get rid of the EXIF:ImageDesription box with “Olympus Digital Camera” in it. My process has been as follows:
    Export the Aperture 2 Projects with consolidated masters to an external HD or your new computer.
    2. Prior to opening an Aperture Library that you are migrating to MacOS 10.6 - Aperture 3, importing a project , or reconnecting to the masters from an imported Library or Project, use ExifTool to remove the EXIF image description in the masters. If you have used Photoshop or Adobe products which leave an XMP metadata field, it is probably better to remove this also at the same time.
    To use ExifTool:
    I will describe this in more detail for those of us (like myself) who know nothing about using terminal.
    A: Download and install the free EXIF-tool. (Many, MANY thanks to Phil Harvey, I think that it’s thanks to people like him that the world progresses).
    B: I found it helps to have just one folder where I run ExifTool on the same HD where I am planning to store my Aperture Libraries and-or referenced masters. Name it something like “EXIF-ProcessingFolder”, and then you can move the projects or the folders with your masters in and out of it without having to copy them, and you can always use the same script - which help prevent errors! Put the unopened projects or folders with the masters you want to remove the EXIF image description into this folder. Don’t forget to keep a back-up copy of your photos!
    C: Open Terminal (under Utilities in Applications). You will see
    “last login: xxxx on ttys000
    Network name: ~username$” and an open box (which becomes solid grey when active in terminal)
    Note that your mouse will not work in Terminal, you must use the keyboard and arrow keys to move around the text (copying and pasting does work).
    D: First we will “change directory” to get to the place we want to work on:
    -in the open box at the end of the last line in the terminal, type “ cd “ (space-cd-space, no quotation marks) - the space after cd is important - and then drag and drop the icon for the “EXIFProcessingFolder” that you made in the previous step on your HD to the open box after “ cd “. Before you hit return, copy the file path (it will look something like ” /Volumes/NameofYourHD\ Folder/ Subfolder\EXIF- ProcessingFolder”), and copy it into the PASTEFilePathHERE part of the command line below. (I keep several copies of the command line on a document to paste and copy from). THEN hit return, and terminal will tell you where it is at like this: “NetworkName:EXIF-ProcessingFolder UserName$”.
    E: I like to check where I am at this point, so I type in “ls” (I remember it as “let’s see”) and hit the “return” key to see the contents of the folder where the terminal is at. It should return a list of the different projects, folders or files in the EXIF-ProcessingFolder. That’s good. (If it doesn’t do this, start over with the “ cd “ command to change directories until you’re in the right place).
    F: Now copy the entire command line including the substituted “PASTEFilePathHere” from below and paste it into the open box in the terminal and hit return. It will start processing your photos. You can watch its progress if you want by looking at the Date Modified of the Subfolders (but not files). When it is all finished, there will be a message in the terminal stating how many files were processed, how many were changed and how many unchanged. It may take a while; often I will receive some error messages in the terminal while it is working, mostly about duplicate rotation information - I just ignore it.
    G: When it is finished, type “exit” in terminal, it will reply with “logout [Process completed]”, and then you can quit Terminal. I have not found out the way to stop the process if I need to while it is running, so if I need to I quit terminal, and that stops the process.
    Here are the command lines to use with ExifTool
    (copied and modified from Casamagnolia-wSzxs8’s post)
    To delete the EXIF:ImageDescription of photos in a folder without subfolders: (you do not have to paste the folder location with this command, but the terminal must be in the correct directory)
    exiftool -P -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= *.jpg
    To delete the EXIF:ImageDescription of Aperture Projects, Aperture Libraries or photos in a folder with subfolders (i.e. if your folders are separated by dates) - (it’s all one line without a return, you need to paste the File Path from step D above over the “PASTEFilePathHere” and then copy the whole thing and paste it into the terminal; mind the spaces; if you include the return at the end it will run as soon as you paste it into the terminal.):
    exiftool -P -r -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= PASTEFilePathHERE
    (an example of final script for recursive folders): exiftool -P -r -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= /Users/userName/Desktop/EXIF-ProcessingFolder
    please note that this script will change files in the file path pasted into the command, even if you are not currently in that directory from step D above.
    To delete the EXIF:ImageDescription AND the entire XMP metadata fields (for files previously processed with Photoshop, which now have the Olympus Digital Camera in several XMP fields) of photos in a folder with subfolders (i.e. if your folders are separated by dates) - (it’s all one line without a return, you need to paste the File Path from step D above over the “PASTEFilePathHere” and then copy the whole thing and paste it into the terminal; mind the spaces; if you include the return at the end it will run as soon as you paste it into the terminal.):
    exiftool -P -r -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= -XMP= PASTEFilePathHERE
    (my limited explanation of the commands are -P saves the date-time of the original format; -r processes the sub-folders recursively; -m decreases the number of error messages; -overwriteoriginal_inplace copies the original file and pastes it onto the changes; -EXIF:ImageDescription removes the EXIF:ImageDescription metadata box; -XMP removes the entire XMP metadata file (I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of just the fields with Olympus Digital Camera written in them, and I don’t see any loss of information that I use, and as an added benefit, I suspect that it helps prevent incongruencies in reading the time & time zone between Aperture and PhotoShop).
    After processing the files with the ExifTool, I then move the projects or folders of referenced masters back to where I intend to keep them permanently (so that I don’t have to relocate them in Aperture later on after reconnecting with them).
    Import the project or upgrade the library in the new system with Aperture 3. If the Aperture Library is already connected to the referenced masters, do not to open it before you have removed the EXIF:ImageDescription from the masters, as it will start to change the caption information in Aperture, and then you will have to manually change the captions back in Aperture.
    If the library is using referenced masters and these are in a new place from the last time the library was open, reconnect to the masters by going to Located Reference Files under the File menu, and navigate to where the masters are and reconnect all. Sometimes some photos will not reconnect, in which case you’ll have to re-import them. You will not need to reconnect the photos if you have already been using the Aperture Library and the photos are already connected, but it would be good to make sure they are all still connected.
    Check to see that the problem is fixed - open some of the previously affected masters in Preview and you should see the correct Captions now. If you had already been using the Aperture Library and the caption still shows “Olympus Digital Camera”, check the master in Preview to make sure it’s fixed, and then change the caption in Aperture. Check your library for captions with “Olympus Digital Camera” (in the search box - Add Rule - IPTC - Caption includes...); if you have used Photoshop in the past to edit your photos and didn’t remove the XMP boxes, check them also (by searching in EXIF:Software - Adobe in the search box) for “Olympus Digital Camera” captions and check the time of the photos (they may be 1 or more hours off). Be sure to click on a photo to make sure it won’t “update” and change the caption again.
    I hope this helps other people with the same problem. It took me ages to get it figured out and it is a very tedious and time consuming process. I wish Apple would consider how this could all be avoided. Please feel free to add suggestions or comments.

  • How can I display and use the full RAW file?

    Hi,
    my camera (Canon S95) has a sensor with 4:3 aspect ratio and thus saves all RAW files in this format. Additionally, the camera can automatically create JPGs with a cropped ratio (e.g. 3:2 or 16:9). This is very helpful because you can see the target format already on the camera screen (with black bars on top and bottom), which helps the composition. However, when processing the photos on the big screen afterwards, it often also helps the photo to adjust the ratio a little bit and therefore use the additional information saved in the bigger 4:3 RAW file. This works very well with many of the freely available software tools.
    The problem found in Lightroom is now that it only shows the RAW photo in the cropped format and up to know I have found no way to display or use the full RAW format. So my question is: Which settings do I have to change to use the full format? What do I need to change?
    Searching a little bit on the web I found many other photographes having the exactly same problem with many different cameras. However none of them reported to have a solution for this. Still I am pretty sure that there must be a solution, since otherwise this would be a really heavy bug within Lightroom and I cannot imagine that Adobe would leave this matter unsolved.
    So I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
    Many Thanks

    Hi Jao, Victoria, Lee Jay,
    Thanks for clearification. Do you have additional information about when this fix will be available and whether at least some popular old cameras will be supported?
    What I do not get is why Adobe would need to redo all existing cameras. I think this is a more general issue, where Lightroom misinterpretes the exif data which includes both the exif image height/width as well as the cropped image height/width. Intepreting this information correctly, any software should be able to display both - the full image and the cropped area (as shown by many cheap or free software tools). In the internet I found another workaround for the issue in Lightroom, which is undermining this point: When setting the cropped image height/width to the numbers of exif image height/width manually (e.g. with exif tools), Lightroom actually is able to display the full 4:3 picture.
    So this bug should be easily fixed for all cameras and I have no clue why Adobe still has no fixed it with Lightroom already available in version 4.2.
    Cheers
    Martin

  • Pictures with GPS-data will not be shown in list-view (PSE 11, Win7)

    A lot of pictures of my collection do have GPS-data in EXIF-header. Sometimes they are shown on the world-map, sometimes not. In list-view they are never shown. The list-view knows only locations, which are matched with PSE.
    The EXIF-input was made by two different tools (Holux GPS Software and Geosetter 3.4.16).
    How can I get the list-view for the saved files without using PSE adding location?

    Many modern cameras add GPS co-ordinates and these will usually show in the info panel of the Media module under Camera Data >> GPS
    I guess your exif tools work differently to a camera. Are you able to embed the metadata into the image files before importing into PSE Organizer?

  • How to edit in photoshop cc from LR 5 it won't read the file, please help me!!!

    I can not get my updated lr 5 and photoshop cc to work together? I don't know how to fix this problem but it will not read my file to "edit in" photoshop cc. Please help me understand the change I need to make to help this process along? I know Lr 5 created a new version of the same catalog from lr 4.4 today. I just don't know how to make this work????

    Yes I'm having the same problem... it does say "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC" on my newly downloaded version of both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC (both downloaded from Creative Cloud Desktop)

  • How should NEF files from my D300 be dealt with?

    I have a D300 and CS2. I have the CS2 version of Lightroom, PS and Bridge. I've been researching NEF files and their compatibility with the adobe applications I have. I'm confused on the best way to work with NEF files produced by the D300 directly with the versions of PS, Lr, and Br that I have. I hope I can work with the NEF files directly with the adobe products.
    I've learned the following from what I've read. I think each version of Ps, Br, and Lr are very picky on which versions of NEFs they will support. This is due to the constant tweaking of the NEF format. The support for a certain NEF is dependent on when the version of Ps, Lr, and Br were released. In other words, there is only good support for the NEFs that are created by current cameras at the time of the release of the Adobe software. The new software doesn't support the older NEFs.   And the older software doesn't support newer cameras.
    I've also read that I can get around this by converting the NEFs to a DNG file. The articles I read were a little old, but there seemed to be some concern about whether the dng format would stay around for the future. I don't think it had gained a lot of acceptance.
    Can someone please tell me the best way for me to work with RAW files in the adobe software that I have. Is there a plug in available for CS2 that will allow me to use the NEFs produced by my D300? Is my only option to convert these to DNGs before using them, if I want to keep my current version of Ps, Lr, and Br?  If I convert them to DNG is the White Balance data available in Ps or Lr? Or, is the only other option to buy a more recent version of the adobe software? I don't plan to buy any new software now because I can't afford it. Even if I did, I'm concerned about backwards compatibility. Nikon considers the regular D300 as old. I don't think adobe does a good of supporting older camers in the newer software.
    Can someone help me understand the best way to go about this. Thanks in advance for any help.

    All that changes in the NEF file between cameras is the usually camera name line. This is shown by using a Exif editor such as Exif tool and changing the camera name to one supported in the version of ACR used by your particualr version of LR or PS
    When ever a new camera comes out Adobe profiles the sensor to produce a calibration file for use in LR and ACR, so if you just change the camera name you will be stuck with the old calibration data and colour reproduction may suffer. You can,of course, use Adobes free tool to produce your own calibrations.
    Adobe updates ACR and LR around every three months to include calibration data for any camera released since the last update. These updates are free. However once LR or PS reaches a new full release these updates are no longer provided. You have a choice, when working with older software, of either updating to the new version, or using Adobes free DNG converter to convert the file to DNG. Nothing is lost in this process. All the original data is retained. Obviously whatever new things may be included in the latest versions of either ACR or LR will not work in the older versions. So if you use the DNG converter on a camera released since LR 3 came out you can use it in LR 2, but the lens correction tool will not work. Equally if you have LR 3, but only have CS 4 or older versions of PS, you will have to render the file in LR before PS can recognise the lens corrections applied.
    You say that Adobe doesn't do a good job of supporting older cameras. This is strange. All older cameras are fully supported in LR and PS. Adobe have never dropped support for any camera and they also provide the DNG format which ensures both backward and forward compatibility with their software.
    As far as acceptance of DNG as a container for RAW information from cameras not gaining acceptance, again a strange thing to say. Presently it is the only open and documented format available. It has been submitted to the ISO for acceptance as an international standard. It is also used natively by several major camera manufacturers, including Hassleblad, Leica and to some extent by Phase one. There really is presently no other format around. If the manufacturers wanted to get together to develop an alternative nothing is stooping them. Unfortunately the two big players in the market, Canon and Nikon, resist this and continue with their own propitiatory formats. Whilst these may be supported into the future it isn't guaranteed. However as DNG is a fully documented format there is no more reason to think it will stop being supported than any of the other standard formats (such as pdf, tiff and swf) developed by Adobe.

  • Exported black/white pictures are too dark

    Hi,
    My exported black and white pictures are too dark. I checked the pictures and the exif info contains information about the color profile RGB and sRGB (see below), but still the browsers (firefox and safari) ignore this and display the pictures way to dark. Is there a way to fix this? firefox has color management enabled and safari probably too. As for firefox: there are probably users that do not have color management enabled and it should work for them as well.
    Could the problems be due to the reduced 8bit color depth of jpeg?
    Any suggestions are highly welcome.
    Thanks!

    Doesn't this include the profile? I use Metadata wrangler and creative commons and morgify as plugins, but these shouldn't interfere with the profile, should they? I also experimented with disabling the metadata wrangler (by clicking disable), but this did not have any effect.
    Thanks a lot!

  • IPTC Metadata not appearing in 'Get Info' - exported JPG?

    I've just exported a bunch of images (versions) from Aperture to JPG.  I have selected 'Include Metadata' and yet when I open the image and select 'Get Info' the only info being displayed is the info of least importance (to me, with these images), such as device name, colour space, focal length etc etc.  None of the IMPORTANT information such as copyright and author etc are there??  I would expect / hope this info to be embedded so that anyone viewing on either a PC or Mac would see it, not exposure and device related information which is the last thing I'm worried about them getting.
    If I drag the image back into Aperture all the relevant info is there but the vast majority of people are not going to be opening JPGs they get supplied with in programmes like Aperture. At best you might expect them to use 'Properties' or 'Get Info' on a Mac.
    Am I doing something wrong or is this another 'Feature' of ML???  If it is a 'feature' is there a way to actually have Aperture append USEFUL metadata information to JPGs on export, such trivial matters as copyright and terms of use etc.?

    I just tried Preview (which being mostly full time on Aperture I've never used beyond a quick look at an image on the desktop), the info is there, so that's good to know. But you still have to dig for it.  My preference would be to get something up in the basic tools such as Get Info.  Previously, I'm sure I've had JPGs where the info has shown up in Get Info, how long back I don't know.  But my memory MAY be playing tricks.
    I am actually relcutant to trash Aperture due to it's management capabilities and it suits for the limited amount of adjustments I ever do, relying on Nik Software for the rest.  BUT I may consider it if there is another application that does write the IPTC data in a way Get Info can read it.    I'd hope to have copyright info flag up on any machine's 'quick look' application, be it Get Info on OS X or Properties on a Windows (I'll look later what comes up there, I rarely if ever use the Windows machine now).  Maybe it's just impossible.   I'm reluctant to add different applications to the workflow to achieve this, meta /exif tools etc.  It's more to do, more things to keep updated, more things to break as OS X evolves etc etc. 
    in the meantime I have played with various fields in the IPTC data block and oddly, if I put the Copright - 'all rights reserved' text in the 'Instructions' it DOES show up in the 'Get Info' box and the 'Instructions' field is perhaps not too out of place to be seen displaying the copyright text and for me is preferable to editing such items as 'Device Info' to display copyright, which looks really odd and, IIRC, requires and EXIF adit tool. The 'Provider' field may be MORE appropriate but again, Get Info doesn't display entries in that field.  Of course it means that anything that WILL display IPTC data correctly will have the copyright info twice, but I'd rather opt for that AND have copyright correctly displayed in Get Info.  I'll check later if it displays using Windows 'Properties'.

  • Focus points not showing for Nex 7 images in Aperture.

    Whilst it's good that Aperture now supports my Nex 7, I've noticed that focus points don't show and the option in the metadata tab isn't even there with my Nex photos.  It's still available for other cameras though.  Anyone else with the same problem.  Or do I have to wait for another update.  Any comments welcome as it is a feature I use in post processing.
    Thanks
    John

    If you have a tool that lets you look at the EXIF data in the image file you could check to see if this is in facr true.
    The entries you are looking for are the ones that start with AF, there are a few such as AF points in focus and AF points selected. There is also two AF entries that have a series of x and y positions. Those are the auto focus points. If there in there then Aperture should be abel to display them.
    The EXIF tool I use is Exiftool. It's command line so thakes some getting use to but it is definitly worth having on your system.

  • [svn] 658: Fix SDK-14201: Performance: embedded images are written into the swf one byte at a time.

    Revision: 658
    Author: [email protected]
    Date: 2008-02-26 11:28:16 -0800 (Tue, 26 Feb 2008)
    Log Message:
    Fix SDK-14201: Performance: embedded images are written into the swf one byte at a time.
    This changes the way swfs are written out when they contain embedded lossless images,
    such as PNGs and GIFs. The old code had a loop to write a byte at a time; the new code
    does a single biblt. The result is a modest compilation speedup, on the order of
    several hundred milliseconds when compiling Flexstore.

    Thanks John,
    I've downloaded the exif tool + the gui - I can see how it's meant to work and have successfully processed a single file (even when I got the name wrong it still copied exif time data!)
    I'll investigate further on how to do a batch and use command line
    Really appreciate your prompt response to my problem. 
    I will let you all know how I get on - will take quite a few weeks but I am confident I can get there!
    Thanks Mike
    A week later I've now got back into this.  I used the exif gui tool - which was very simple to use once I sat down with peace and quiet for 10 mins!  I successfully copied and updated the correct exif data including capture time from the original backup files.  My metadata keywords remained untouched when I then updated the metadata setting from disk in lightroom.
    exif is a great tool, and I found it easier to use than AM pro - I couldn't  see the photo attributes in the trial download so made it hard to sort by date.
    Anyway my problem was overcome thank you

  • I must be doing something wrong because none of the Adobe software can open my RAW files.

    None of the adobe software recognize the RAW files from my Nikon D7100. I had no problems opening raw files from my D5000.   I even tried to convert them to DNG but that didn't work either. I have used Lightroom, Photoshop CC, Bridge, Photoshop Elements 13, Photoshop 8.  I wasn't able to see my Raw files in windows either until I downloaded NEC codec...and, of course, I can see them in the Nikon software.  I have 8 folders of pics taken with the new camera.  In the last folder, I can see and work with my RAW files and in one folder, there is one RAW file I can work with.  All the rest are blank and won't open.  In one folder, Lightroom won't even show the JPEGs. I shoot in RAW + (JPEG) FINE. I've downloaded all the files the same way.  I will try to download them again, but not all of them are still on the card.  I even tried to convert them to DNG, but if they can't be seen as RAW, they won't convert to DNG. The D7100 has been out for a while, so I can't believe that Adobe wouldn't work for it.

    mellyortendahl:
    The IMG_6564.CR2 file on dropbox is corrupted in that it is missing most of the raw data which is why PS and LR cannot open it.  For this specific file, at least, the camera-embedded-jpg preview is intact and can be extracted, so while not as good as the raw file, it is better than nothing.
    Here is what IrfanView shows for the raw image:
    Here is the camera-embedded jpg-preview as show in Windows Photo Viewer:
    I was able to extract the camera-embedded jpg preview using EXIF Tool, with the following command:
    exiftool -b -PreviewImage -w _preview.jpg -ext cr2 -r ./.
    where ./.means the current folder in the CMD window.  If the images were in a different folder, for example C:\Pictures, then the last part of the command would be -r C\Pictures
    This created a IMG_6564_preview.jpg from the original IMG_6564.CR2 file.
    The next step is to copy all the metadata over from the CR2 to its corresponding preview.jpg file:
    exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%-.8f.cr2 -all:all -r -overwrite_original -ext jpg ./.
    You can read about these two commands, here:http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/exiftool-commands.html#extract
    ExifTool can be downloaded from the Windows Executable box near the top of the page at the following website, and once you download the extiftool-whatever.zip then extract exfitool(-k).exe then rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe and copy it to the folder where your CR2 files reside then run the two commands, above to extract all the embedded previews:

    Finally, it would be wise to determine why the files are corrupted.  Usually it is the memory card, itself, that is going bad.  Are all the images bad or just one here and there?

    Thanks Tony,
    Yes the supplied profile works - in my test shots it corrects distortion and vignetting nicely - but it is a pain to have to pick the proffile by hand for each shot.
    My real issue is Lightroom not correctly identifying the lens and listing it as "Unknown" in the meta data. Was hoping there was a way to teach lightroom to recognize it - or a config file to hack to make it recognize the lens.
    For testing puposes I changed the raw format of my Pentax from DNG to PEF but got the saame result.
    Anyone else have ideas?

  • How to wipe/overwrite corrupted xmp/rdf in jpeg/tiff file

    Is it possible to wipe/overwrite corrupted (incomplete, wrong format, etc) xmp data in the file using XMP SDK only? I mean, is there any way to wipe/overwrite corrupted xmp packet data if I got kXMPErr_BadXMP, kXMPErr_BadParse, kXMPErr_BadXML, kXMPErr_BadRDF, etc using XMPFiles::OpenFile or XMPFiles::GetXMP methods.

    No replies needed anymore. I think EXIF Tool (by Phil Harvey) will do the thing for me and Phil himself crarified things for me in his own forum...

  • Nikon D300 raw files, unable to retrieve the camera serial number!

    Hi all,
    I have just downloaded some D300 NEF files (camera firmware v. 1.2) onto my PC, and both Bridge and Camera Raw display NO camera serial number in all the shots! :-( And when I convert them in DNG, I still don't have any info on the nikon camera serial no. , why!? :-(
    I opened them with EXIF tool and I tested that the camera serial is there in all the NEF's (and also JPEG) files.
    I tried the NEF files from a Nikon D2X camera and, this time, the camera serial is read perfectly from both Bridge, Camera Raw and Lightroom (v. 1.4.1) too. Does someone have any hints!?
    Thanks in advance! ;)

    >then it's either a bug in the application or an application that ignores some very basic rules.
    For as long as Photoshop has been around, any plug-in, with or without an extension will try to be loaded by Photoshop (as well as Bridge). Normal renaming of a plug-in or removing an extension will NOT eliminate Photoshop's ability to load them at startup.
    There are certain symbols you can add to the front of a file name to prevent loading the plug-in. If you want to disable a plug-in on startup you'll need to add ¬ symbol as a leading character and that plug-in will be disabled.
    This is neither a bug nor a failure of the application...it's a special situation that is a standard cross-platform method that Adobe apps have used for years (at least 18 years at this point with Photoshop).
    So, while it may be obscure and obtuse, it's not the problem of Photoshop/Bridge since it's behaving as designed.
    In testing various versions, I often have up to 1/2 dozen different versions of Camera Raw installed at one time. I use the ¬ symbol to disable all the version I don't want to load and make sure only 1 version is named normally.
