Photoshop XMP geotagging corruption

How do I keep Mac Photoshop CS3 from corrupting the geotagging data in the images it processes?  My workflow consists of using Nikon Capture NX2 to generate TIFFs or JPEGs and then I do touch-ups on them in Photoshop.  However, Photoshop gets the time zone confused when it generates the XMP metadata in the files it saves.
Here's an example.  Take a JPEG or TIFF with the following metadata:
[EXIF]          GPSTimeStamp                    : 18:12:58
[EXIF]          GPSDateStamp                    : 2009:08:09
The GPS date/time are always in UTC.  If I merely open and save this file in Photoshop CS3, it adds an XMP section to the file containing:
exif:GPSTimeStamp="2009-08-09T18:12:58-07:00"
which is off by 7 hours because I happen to be in PDT at the moment. The timezone should be Z or +00:00.
There is a bit of corruption in the latitude and longitude as well.  When creating XMP, Photoshop unnecessarily truncates EXIF locations to minutes with four significant digits in the fraction as a result of simply opening and saving a file.  This is less damaging because the error is usually less than a meter as opposed to an offset of several hours.

Have you been keeping up with the updates on PS CS6? While Adobe isn't adding new features to CS6 (as they are to CC) they are keeping up with maintenance issues, bug fixes, etc.
If I were you, I would head to the Adobe Photoshop forum and see if you can find a fix -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop: a lot more CS6 users there.
Good luck,

  • Photoshop 12.1 corruption when using gaussian blur

    Is there a fix for the Photoshop 12.1 corruption when using gaussian blur

    It's not a crash per se... when using the gassian blur filer at some but not all times the file will becomse  corrupted.. it comes up with large flat panels of color. After that point asnything done to the file is destroyed. You have to go back to the last saved versioin of the file. There are many notes on the web about this issue.. It has been occuring since I started with 12.1 about a year ago. Never occurred on other PS apps.
    You have to quite the app and re-launch. Then it works. There is no crash report to make.

  • Photoshop CS2 file corruption with Leopard 10.5.3

    In addition to the network server corruption issue being experienced by everyone with CS3 and OS X 10.5.3, since Wednesday my CS2 version 9 Photoshop files are turned into corrupted, flattened Mexican rug files when I save to my own G5 pre-Intel hard drive. This is specifically happening when I save files to my hard drive and then shut down the computer minutes later. When I restart minutes later, the files saved just prior to shutdown are flattened and corrupted into a very colorful, horizontally banded Mexican rug. Which would be nice if I was designing Mexican rugs, but I'm not. Files saved during the day with no shutdown appear to be okay.
    This has happened twice since Wednesday.
    I also noticed that when I shut down since the Leopard 10.5.3 update, things won't shut down properly and hang. Can't figure out if this is Photoshop, iTunes (it wouldn't force quit), OS X, or a combination. So I have to shut down the power. Both times when I've done this, it resulted in corrupted files, even though their saves were completed prior to shutdown.
    Does anyone know if this is an Apple thing or an Adobe thing? I wonder if this is one of the "issues for which there is no resolution" that Adobe says can happen using CS2 on Leopard.
    Anybody have any solutions to this, other than going back to 10.5.2? I've been backing up multiple copies of files at different times of the day in different places. I don't know what else to do.
    I have 2.5 GB of RAM, 96 GB of free disk space, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL.

    Wendell,
    If your system is hanging upon shutdown, and files being saved immediately before shutdown are corrupted, then I'd say that the save process is not complete when you are shutting down. Otherwise it makes no sense, as your system does not know that you are going to shut down at that point.
    Have you done system maintenance? And immediately before you upgraded to Mac OS X v10.5.x did you boot off the System disc and repair permissions and your drive? And did you boot off Alsoft's DiskWarrior and do the same? And then repeat the permissions repair immediately after the upgrade? Did you reinstall your apps from their original discs? If running maintenance now does not repair the issues AND if your system was behaving properly before, you may want to do an archive and restore to Mac OS X v10.4.11 until Apple has a further fix for Mac OS X v10.5.x.
    Note that many of us who have pre-Intel machines that do not require Mac OS X v10.5.x have not upgraded -- Mac OS X v10.4.x is very stable. It is compatible with all CS3 apps (except as noted on the box by Adobe).

  • Photoshop CS2 file corruption with Leopard 10.5.3 update

    This has happened twice since Wednesday.
    Please note that my Photoshop "save" is completed BEFORE I shut down, by several minutes.
    Also, in both cases, an application was hanging and wouldn't force quit, which initiated my shutting down. First it was iTunes, then it was Mail. So I can't figure out if this is Photoshop, iTunes (it wouldn't force quit once), OS X, or a combination. But the only thing I can do is shut down the power.
    Does anyone know if this is an Apple thing or an Adobe thing? I wonder if this is one of the "issues for which there is no resolution" that Adobe says can happen using CS2 on Leopard. Or part of the Leopard update. Or both cooperating together.
    Anybody have any solutions to this, other than going back to 10.5.2 (or Tiger) ? I've been backing up multiple copies of files at different times of the day in different places. I don't know what else to do. Can't work much longer with corruption over my head. Leopard has been one long big headache.
    I have 2.5 GB of RAM, 96 GB of free disk space, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL.

    The problem, as I see it, is; "which comes first - the chicken or the egg?" To explain, I am currently operating on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.3.9...... and I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Preminum installed on my computer. Okay now my question..or rather questions (plural) are; #1 If I upgrade my operating system to OS X 10.4. (Tiger) is Adobe CS2 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc) compatible with OS X 10.4?
    * Okay let's supposed the answer to #1 is; "yes - it's compatible.....CS2 will run fine on OS X 10.4
    #2 Next question - Will Adobe CS2 run (without any problems) if I were to upgrade to OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? I believe, from what I have been reading the answer to this is; "No, Adobe CS2 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5". Okay let's say that I would then have to plunk the bucks and upgrade to Adobe CS3. On to the next and final question........
    #3 Okay if I were to upgrade my OS to OS X 10.5 what do I upgrade first??? The operating system (which is not compatible with Adobe CS2 or the Adobe CS3 suite (which is not compatible with my present OS (OS 10.3.9)??? I have found nothing at either Adobe or Apple web sites which addresses this specific issue. I guess it's just like people - when your systems and software become outdated, the **** with you.
    Like I said; Which comes first - the chicken or the egg?
    PS: from what I have read on this thread it appears that people really don't read what someone is saying.....you (LoobyDooby) were taking about CS2 and suddenly everyone else stated taking about CS3. It's like tech support........you ask about "apples" and they tell you that "oranges" are not in season.......huh???

  • Photoshop Elements 10 - Corrupt Display

    Good evening -
       I finally broke down and bought a new DSLR camera.  Now, I only need an editing software to tighten up the images.  The only problem I am having is that Photoshop Elements 10 (and 9) GUI does not want to play well with my current rig. 
    Key components:
    1) Win7 Ultimate 64
    2) eVGA 460 1GB
    3) Matrox 3H2Go with 3x22" lcds
      No matter what I try to do, the menu bars are corrupt upon opening PE.   I have tried eliminating any desktop themes, GPU driver is most current, hardware acceleration off etc etc.
    Any thoughts as to what might be going on?  I am sure it's related to scaling of the GUI with the Matrox Triplehead display.   It's the only program I have issues with in terms of working in this 3 monitor setup.
       I have 29 days to nail this issue before I have to wait until release 11 comes out
    Notice the menu bar is transparent?   I am looking for any suggestions.
    This is why I run in x3 monitors...so don't say use one monitor

      The editor prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way - then wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

    After clicking install, Photoshop CS6 will get to about 62% done, when it stops, says there is an error, that the file is corrupt, and that I should try again in a few minutes. Been trying all day with no different results.

  • Photoshop CS6 file corruption

    I am running Photoshop CS6 on a brand new Macbook Pro 13 inch. I haven't even had this computer for 24 hours yet.
    I restored my old Macbook Pro's data onto it via a time machine backup, and everything is running perfectly.
    Except for photoshop CS6.
    I was working on a project and the file suddenly became corrupted. I closed it without saving and reopened the file, and it was still corrupted. I cannot fix it.
    I didn't think to screenshot what had happened, but what it looked like was something like this: IMAGE

    This happened on my old Macbook Pro as well. I thought maybe it was a hardware issue on the old laptop, but now I think it's something else, considering it just happened on my brand new laptop.
    Any ideas on how to repair this would be greatly appreciated! I am doing finals work for school and two of the projects are to be done in Photoshop. I can NOT afford to have this glitch happen to my work again.

  • Photoshop writes a Corrupt JPG in Windows Vista

    Hello
    A very perplexing problem i have run into.
    I have created a panorama with CS5 (running Windows Vista).  This is from a number of RAW images that were stitched together using PS.  I flattened the image and saved it to a jpg format.  This jpg image can be read by Windows Photo Gallery application
    i want to create a larger image (72" long) to print out.  I went back to the PSD file and increased the image size in increments of 10% from ~49 in to 72 in long.  i then saved this image in jpg format (same jpg options).  This image comes back as corrupt when i try to view it in Vista (Windows Photo Gallery). 
    Photoshop can open the jpg image.
    ultimately, i need to send this image to get printed out but i am worried that it is corrupt.   I have tried 3 different Windows Vista computers (laptops to desktops) and the corrupt message is the same
    "Photo Gallery can't open this picture or video.  This file format is not supported, ..."
    i have also tried to open this with Microsoft Paint and it does not work.
    Thank you
    Perry Ralph

    Hello
    Thanks for the message
    What are the pixel dimensions of the JPG you're producing that can't be opened?  Saying it is 72" long isn't enough without also telling the DPI/PPI.  Also, another way to increase the print size of the image would be to merely change the DPI/PPI to something smaller. 
    21600 pixels x 5132 pixels
    300 PPI
    I suspect the Windows programs you refer to are running out of memory trying to open the image or they may have pixel-dimension limits.  Photoshop has tricks to working on large images that the simple Windows programs do not use.
    you might be right.  my desktop PC has 8GM of memory
    Are you working with an external printing service that cannot upsize an image in a way that looks reasonable and they require that you do it for them?
    I haven't asked the printing service about upsizing the image.  i wanted to look at the size first.  i have also sent them an email message asking a similar question

  • Photoshop CS4 images corrupt when opening

    I have problems with Photoshop CS4..installed doftware fine, but when i open any image (raw, jpg etc) they are corrupt....i am running windows vista 32bit....could this be my graphics card thats giving the problem its a ATI Radeon HD2600XT?

    True corruption MAY be caused by bad hard-drive, cable, or ram. What only looks like corruption, (such as having solid fluorescent looking colored areas) but the corruptions goes away, when zooming is caused by video card or card drivers.
    Do you get a corruption warning or do they just appear corrupted?
    A few months ago I had real corrupted files on an XP machine running CS. The problem started after I installed a new wireless mouse. I reinstalled the old mouse and the problem went away. I know that does not seem logical but I swear that it happened.
    Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than myself will be able to offer advice.

  • Trial Photoshop Download is Corrupt - Doesn't Work

    I have repeatedly tried to download the photoshop trial from adobe however the installation fails with an error message "a problem occured while extracting some files.  Check available space on your computer and the write privileges"
    Space and priviledges are not the issue. I am running as administrator on Vista with over 100gb free.  The issue is the file on the server seems to be corrupt.  If I manually use 7zip to explore the archive it tells me some of the files it holds are corrupt.
    Annoyingly I have wasted a nearly 5gb of my 10gb monthly bandwith just to repeatedly download these files, thinking that perhaps somehow the files were corrupted in the download process and thus trying again, but I get the same result.  Never had a download issue while downloading from MSDN on Microsoft, where I regularly and reliably download much larger, multigigabyte files, e.g VS2010, Win7.  Pretty sure this is not my internet connection.
    What doesn't work are two downloads -
    Photoshop_12_LS1.7z is 1,026,293,791 bytes and is corrupt
    DesignPremium_CS5_LS1.7z is 3,052,655,417 bytes and is corrupt
    I did download photoshop elements (900mb) sucessfully.
    Please advise.

    Thanks for the link to your website.    I don't think there are any issues based on your websites info, but I re-cleaned my system with CCleaner just in case.  I also tried a seperate clean machine with a different operating system (win7 instead of vista).  Same problem.
    I initially did use WinRar which reported that error, hence I switched to 7zip because I figured it was zipped in that and therefore obviously more likely to work, but both show an error.
    I would also doubt the archives are damaged on the server or in download however they just don't work (for me)

  • Photoshop xmp metadata editing

    Adobe xmp metadata in photoshop, is there a way to edit script info so files will show the transactions done on a photograph?
    (eg. such as number of times saved, copied, printed, log in time)

    Hi,
    I do not fully understand which kind of script files you want to show or edit.
    You can see all XMP metadata in the "raw packet" view.
    To show or edit XMP metadata properties that does not show up on the panels that are delivered with Photoshop,
    you have to create a "custom panel" to leverage these properties.

  • Photoshop Touch seems corrupted on ICS Motorola XYBOARD 8.2: Bad Screen Flicker

    Hi Adobe,
    I've checked all the other Adobe apps after receiving a new tablet after a theft and reinstalling all my apps. Photoshop Touch, updated in Sept. 2012, which I've uninstalled and reinstalled again, acts very strange; as soon as you try and load a project or import a file from a local folder the screen starts flickering badly and you basically are unable to choose a file from either the local disk, Creative Cloud, Google, etc. If you start a new project the flicker does go away, but if you try again to import an image, the same thing happens, which basically, for now at least, renders Photoshop Touch for me at least, unusable.
    I was kind of expecting to see other people posting about this but haven't seen it which might indicate it's specific to this tablet, which would be really sad.
    Anyway, if someone could comment on whether they've heard of this elsewhere or not, and if so, whether there might be a potential fix at some point, I'd appreciate it. Again my other Touch apps, Ideas, Kuler and Collage have no problems like this.
    Best,
