EXIF data after export LR in Google Photos

• Change of date after export of original photos

  I have a problem when you export the originals of photos of Photos on the hard drive. Some of them retains the metadata (e.g. date of creation) some of them not.

  I'll try to explain what's happened so far.

  1. on 19 December, I upgraded my Mac of Mavericks to El Capitan. I started photo app right after that.

  2. I'm unhappy will all this cross-sync thing. So I turned off the iCloud library.

  3. right after that I received an epost Apple where it says that I have to copy my pictures and videos because the originals will disappear icloud within 30 days.

  4. I go to Photos on my Mac, mark all the objects and go file > export > unchanged original for export. About 200 objects.

  5. when the export is completed I find that some files are dated correctly (in 2010). However, 63 objects are dated 19 December 2015 (the same day I installed El Capitan), while the current date of the creation of a few photos back to 2013. The actual creation date is correct in the Photos app.

  My question is what is happening and how I can recover the original with the original metadata.

  You are confusing the date photo with the file date - the date of the picture as saved in the photo's EXIF/IPTC data has not changed - only the date of the file has changed

  And it was reported as creating file for the original dates change when they are downloaded from iCloud photo library - which for me is not unexpected, because a new file has been created

  The answer is to use software of Photos using EXIF/IPTC data and no files software that uses file dates (which were noted at all to do with the Photo itself)

• Why my EXIF data is not updated in my photo library?

  I'm putting an existing library about 15 k pictures and after import in the Photos app, I can see that the EXIF data for many of these images are incorrect.

  I've updated the EXIF data using a third party application called 'Pull the shifter' and the images but my photo library has been updated, and pictures taken in 2007 are displayed as having been taken in 2005.

  If I update the EXIF through the Photos, it works immediately so I'm guessing that there is a disparity between the library of Photos and real pictures?

  How can I update the library after external changes?

  You can not

  What are you doing exactly?

  You cannot make changes to the contents of the iPhoto library using pull the shifter or any other program except Photo - there is no user repairable in the photo library - once the pictures are imported in the Photos, you can only use Photos of them to change in any way - if the pictures cannot make the changes that you want to then you will need to make the changes before importing the phtos

  You can check the HoudahGeo - it could work within the iPhoto library - last I looked the pictures do not have the API they ned to do the same with the Photos, but it is possible as things hae advanced since I looked

• Images deleted from the camera data after export of Lr

  Hello

  I just opened the images in jpg format in PS. Images have been exported to Lr and for some reason any of all the camera data went...

  I went through all the settings in Ps and Lr and found nothing...

  I have attached a screenshot.

  Hi, this is a similar to a previous post and here is my answer:

  In the export, under metadata dialog box, make sure that you have checked the box to 'Write keywords as Lightroom hierarchy', in this way all of your keywords will be carried over to Photoshop.   Conversely, if you do not want your keywords or other metadata to show in Photoshop, then check the box for "minimize embedded metadata". I hope this helps.

• Corrupted in exported image exif data

  I see what looks like to corrupted EXIF data in exported images such as reported by exiftool.  The problem occurs when you export an image edited from a Q Leica DNG file.  ExifTool reports "warning: possibly incorrect maker [minor] note offsets (fix by 1196?)" followed by the four following fields "

  The name of the file: ~.

  Original directory:

  Index of the file: 3982

  Film Mode                       : ?..?.?.?.".|?

  Levels of WB RGB: 3605.922052 0.951899398 1.068280702

  The Film contains unprintable characters.   The original DNG EXIF data reported by exiftool is

  File name: L1000034. DNG

  Original directory: 100LEICA

  Index of files: 34

  Movie mode:

  Levels of WB RGB: 0.4780578898 1 0.674571805

  JPEG exported from Lightroom 6.2.1.   Same problem with 6.1.something.  No problem noticed edited CR2 or RAF files export.

  Anyone else noticing something similar?   You wonder if it's specific to the Leica Q files.

  From what I can tell, these are the owners for this camera metadata fields. You see errors on these fields with the files from your other devices is because these cameras create these fields in their files. And it really seems to be just this model of camera, I checked with other Leica cameras and still couldn't see these fields that appear. It seems that it is fair field that Lightroom is not familiar with and that he does not know how to work with them (he essentially leaves them empty, with the exception of some fill characters when text is required). Like Exiftool reports, it's a just a warning and not an error. In addition, this caution is minor.

  Here's what Exiftool himself has to say about this kind of situation: ExifTool FAQ.

  What I understand reading FAQ, these fields is essentially the shortcuts that point to other information in the file. The error indicates that these shortcuts (reclining) do not point to the correct location (MakerNotes), or something of the sort. You can force a repair by adding the f (case-sensitive) tag to the Exiftool commands.

  Apart the Exiftool warning, do you experience any interruption of your workflow? Other applications fail to work with these files, or you encounter errors?

• [HELP] Photoshop is remove all my EXIF data

  Hey guys!

  I have used Photoshop CC for a few months now, and I just realized something quite recently. I was downloading some of my photos on Flickr, and they seem to have lost all the EXIF data after going through photoshop. Now, let me explain. I will pull my (JPEG) image in Photoshop, leave it as the standard background layer, run through the Camera Raw Filter and then export it to JPEG. However, all my EXIF data seems to be lost - and it's not just Flickr. I tried to view the EXIF data using a number of different programs, but he seems to have completely disappeared - it removes even the date that the photo was captured.

  If anyone has a solution for me - or if I just some stupid mistake - please let me know!

  Thank you!

  Michael

  Hey sarsaxen!

  Thanks for your reply.

  In fact, I thought that my problem. I had been using the 'Export' function instead of the function "Save as." It's all good now.

  Thank you!

• Photoshop Fix photo EXIF data has been erased for most

  Thanks to the Adobe team for the launch of the app PS difficulty. I downloaded and immediately tried and was astonished to see what he could do. After that I saved my edit of a photo film to my iPhone and the application Exift to verify its Exif data, I was shocked to discover the Exif data of the photo has been removed for most. Please see the 2 sheets of Exif below for your reference: the 1st is one of the original photo. the 2nd is that the difficulty of the PS edited photo where you can see most data has disappeared.

  Thank you'd know by your really and all other users PS difficulty if this problem could be solved.

  
  

  Or maybe there's a way to fix it in the application settings? Please enlighten me.

  
  

  
  

  

  

  Hi Paul, Fix currently does not record the metadata for the exported image. This is something that we are looking at adding in a later version.

• Copy past Photos in the Newsroom and lost photo EXIF data

  Mac Pro OS X El Capitan to 10.11.6 and Photos Version 1.5 (370.42.0)

  Question: when I do a copy paste a photo of Photos to my mac desktop, the copy is made, but I lose the photo information (EXIF data) and especially the date that the photo was taken. I need this date to filter all my photos and then rename them all directly in the Finder.

  Thanks for your advice

  That's right (copy / paste Gets an overview of average quality without metadata updates)-the proper way is to export the photos (menu, file == > export) checking metadata fields you want to include

• Photos - slide show transitions becomes jerks after export

  The slideshow transitions become jerks after export to iTunes.  Sliding panels, classic, etc. normally play in the Photo Slideshow app, but become "sticky" or "jerky" following export.

  I don't remember this problem with iPhoto or earlier versions of IOS - even when the films were anchored.  Is this a known issue?

  How can this be repaired?

• Writing EXIF data (and how to define the side of the photo)

  Anyone had luck writing EXIF data in photos? Reading EXIF data are fairly easy, as demonstrated by "photobomber. Writing EXIF data seems to be more painful, however.

  In particular, I'm trying the face value of the photo.  I found mention on the web page of its existence in EXIF, with the code:

  0 x 4746

  That said, when I check the exif - tag.h, apparently not be listed.

  It is clear to me that this is a deal breaker or not.  The tags are listed in the exif - tag.h the only ones that can be used? Or are they simply definitions of convenience tag codes most commonly used?

  Thank you

  Daniel

  Incase others are reading this in the future and ask yourself how: my conclusion is that the best way to define metadata such as:

  -Photo rating

  -Tags

  -Description

  ... does NOT use EXIF.  On the contrary, it seems that XMP is a much better choice:

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform

  Ideally, BB10 comes with the XMP library, and it can be easily added to your project. (right-click on the project node in "Project Explorer", go to the context menu item 'Configure', then 'add the library')

  Here's the code I added bo my main.cpp:

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // XMP
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  // Must be defined to instantiate template classes
  #define TXMP_STRING_TYPE std::string
  
  // Must be defined to give access to XMPFiles
  #define XMP_INCLUDE_XMPFILES 1
  
  #define UNIX_ENV 1
  
  #include "xmp/XMP.incl_cpp"
  #include "xmp/XMP.hpp"
  
  #include 
  #include 
  
  using namespace std;
  
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  

  ... and here's what I added to the .h file that I wanted to use XMP in: (it does not include the XMP.incl_cpp at the top of the notice)

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // XMP
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  #define TXMP_STRING_TYPE std::string
  #define XMP_INCLUDE_XMPFILES 1
  #define UNIX_ENV 1
  
  #include "xmp/XMP.hpp"
  
  #include 
  #include 
  
  using namespace std;
  
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  

  And finally, here's a big copy and paste part of the key code that I adapted to the code example in the XMP SDK I downloaded separately for read/write some common tags.  Feel free to use this code in your own applications, or to adapt it, if that's helpful.

  Note that the code above makes use of some class member variables:

      int rating;
      QList tags;
      QString description;
      QDateTime timestamp;
  

  One final note: there is a code that deals with the MicrosoftPhoto:Rating XMP tag. It's because I'm on Windows and I noticed that if you click on a photo in Windows Explorer, it allows you to display/change some meta (such as star ratings) data directly in Explorer. When you do so, it sets the MicrosoftPhoto:Rating tag (as well as the tag xmp:Rating, I believe). Once, he put that, if your application updates the xmp:Rating tag but don't update the MicrosoftPhoto:Rating tag and the file returns on Windows, then he continues to use the old notation before your update app. (he seems to ignore xmp:Rating if MicrosoftPhoto:Rating is present)

• Photos of pixilation after export

  Hi, I just noticed that after exporting to an image, the sky seemed very pixelated.

  Although it seems completely smooth in the develop module, even when you zoom in, I seems that the exported photo has low resolution.

  Here are a few testimonials:

  

  

  I hope that you can see what I mean.

  Thank you.

  A quality setting of 60 is aggressive enough, in my opinion. I suggest that you export again with overall quality at 80-85 and see if that solves the problem.

• The bridge in PS for export - EXIF data lost

  Hi all

  I wonder what happens to my EXIF data when I import a file RAW Canon via ACR of the bridge in PS when I export the file as a JPG file and then right-click right jpg properties, none of the camera data is saved. Perhaps there is a checkbox that I have simply not checked?

  Also, if I add keywords in Bridge, they will carry through the export process? I'm interested to know if it is possible to auto complete the keyword field in flickr downloading an image.

  CS5 with W7 and Canon 5Dii BRUTES.

  Thanks in advance.

  Can you be a little more explicit on the exact steps you take?

  I just opened a picture of the bridge in Photoshop by right-clicking on a CR2 file, choose open in Camera Raw, then hit the [open] button in the Camera Raw dialog box.  Then I did file - record under - JPEG, and all the camera metadata has been selected (by the Explorer properties, Details tab).

  When you say 'export', exactly how you save the file?  With File - Save For Web & Devices, there is a metadata field that indicates how or how little to keep.

• Is it possible to stop export of EXIF data option in LR?

  I am in stock photography and a few times I don't want to reveal my details/settings of the camera. Is it possible to stop export of EXIF data option in LR?

  I think that if you want to control all the details on what is being exported and which not, use Jeffrey Friedls metadata Wrangler PlugIn.

• 3.4RC not to export Exif data in JPEG files?

  I just checked and there appear to be no Exif data in my JPEGs exported, even if to minimize metadata is not checked. Does anyone else know this? I missed a few new setting or how to make that clear? Win 7 LR 64-bit, 64 - bit.

  The topic on the feedback site has a recent post explaining the changes in LR 3.4 EXIF/XMP metadata management:
