I shoot in raw, I import into lightroom by doing a sync folder. Then I edit my picture using photoshop cs6. I save it as a jpeg. Finally I export this image as a jpeg to a sub folder called Publish, which means its ready for the web. problem is when i look at image in lightroom on the right side the histogram has no details, it wont show iso, fstop or anything. if I look at my original RAW file i can see the exif info in the histogram but on my final exported image its all gone.
furthmore it looses all its tags and meta data, I have to copy the metadata back to this file. it would be nice if lightroom would reinsert the meta info and exif once its reimported into lightroom.
I have a Metadata preset for my copyright info and eversince I created it, it has been stripping the capture infor from the image (ie Focal Length, ISO, F-Stop, etc), the preset does not delete this info from the image upon import?
Is there a way to export jpegs with some exif info (creation date and tile) which should be saved directly on the image. Like the showing of the timestamp on the picture which can be turned on on some cameras.
Reasoin is: I want to use those pics on a digital image frame and I want to show some image data as well. As there are no options in the software of the digiframe to display exifs I have to integrate them in the pictures...
if it is not possible with lightroom then probably you can tell me another way (bridge, photoshop, ...) - just not manually...
Is there a way to view exif info of each photo on the LR 4.2 import screen. I'd like to view Exif data before making the decision to import the capture but can't figure out how to do this. Ideally it would appear as a 'tooltip' when hovering over the image in gridview, or, when looking at a single image it using the "I" key should display image info like it does in other modules of LR4. Are there any plugins that could do that?
Lightroom 5 doesn't any longer show GPS info from canon 6D in imported rawfiles. This regards MacOS-version. It works in iPhoto and in Lightroom 5 for Windows 8!
Does Lightroom show bearing info in the map module if it was recorded by a GPS and electronic compass sensor? Some GPS devices, like the Solmeta Geotagger Pro 2 records heading/bearing information to the EXIF data as well as geographic coordinates. Can lightroom display this like a slice of the map highlighted from the position of the image, in the direction the picture was taken with the proper viewing angle calculated from the focal length. I guess it would look like a pizza slice seen from above.
I've been playing around with Exif orientation data, and CS4 always shows the orientation as "Normal" in File -> File Info. However, looking at the same EXIF information with other programs (e.g. Picasa), I see the appropriate rotation information, which is consistent with how I took the photos. Is this a bug in Photoshop CS4? I took the photos with an iPhone 4, by the way.
I noticed some of my final jpeg photos were losing the lens info and others weren't. So I tried a couple things and revised all my workflow only to find out the following:
I use Capture NX2 to save TIFF images out of the RAW and then I open them on PS (CS6).
The original RAWs all have the <aux:Lens> tag in them. I checked with Photoshop and Bridge that they are there.
If I open the file with Capture and save it to two different files:
One TIFF and a second one Jpeg, both of them will continue to show the tag <aux:Lens> with the Lens type (again, checked with Bridge and PS).
But here comes the tricky part: if I open these files with photoshop and SAVE AS jpeg (in the same way), the one that originated from a TIFF will strip the "<aux:Lens>" tag on the final picture, while the one that originated from a jpeg will not.
There seems to be a problem on how Photoshop interprets the Exif info while saving from an original TIFF file.
When i shoot " portrait " mode photos with my Nikon D70, PS shows them " upright", although the windows explorer shows them " landscape style ". I guess that PS reads te exif info from the jpg's, and uses this to show me the photos in a usable way. I want PS to show me the photos just like the windows explorer does, so i know wich one to " turn upright ".
Since today I'm using "Lightroom 5.3 RC for Windows". When I export to jpg the Exif meta data contain a Exif tag "Software", the value is "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.0 (Windows)". Why doesn't this tag show the version number "5.3" (or "5.3 RC")?This behaviour has been at all prior Lightroom versions I know.
In my copy of Lightroom 5.3, image info tooltips do not show in the grid view expanded cells even though that option is activated in view options. Is this an issue with Lightroom 5.3? (Note: Image info tooltips in grid view compact cells and the filmstrip do display, however.)
Changed printer from HP to Canon today and cannot get into the print from PSE 9 mac - no image on photo. I re-installed PSE 9 and still the problem remains.
I have a Canon Rebel T3. I switch the camera's white balance depending on the lighting. But when i go to review the files, nothing in the metadata shows what white balance I shot it in. This applies to both jpeg and raw pictures.
It would be nice to see this info so I can compare which settings looked better.
I created a catalog with smart previews from my PC (Win 7, 64 bit) and copied it onto my macbook pro (OSX 10.9.1) via a thumb drive. I can view the photos fine, zoom in and use the develop controls. However I get no histogram, cannot export and below the histogram it just says 'photo is missing'.
The whole point of this exercise was to choose and export lo-res selects to customers when out of the office. I can't do that.
In LR5 when I go to use one of the 5 zone adjustment areas in the Develop module histogram, there is a 2 - 2.5 second delay before I can use them for each image. The individual sliders below, e.g., exposure, contrast, etc, don't exhibit the delay.
This is not the case with LR4.4... and it is a cause of frustration for me due to the slowdown in my wedding workflow. I'm on a Mac Quad Core, 12 GB, SSD, etc, so I'm not sure what the problem is, as I said there's no problem with 4.4. I searched but did not see this problem listed. Also, LR 5.2RC does not fix the problem.
When I choose "Enable Profile Correction" in Lens Corrections panel in develop module, the histogram changes as well as the image itself (gets brighter).
I do see the image change as it applies distortion correctly as well. I go back and hit reset and try again and always happens. I have only noticed this with my Nikon D600 with the kit lens. It did not see this with my D90 - no histogram changes,
This occurs in LR 4.3 and just upgraded to LR 4.4 to see if it was fixed.
The histogram looks normal.
The histogram after selecting the lens correction. The histogram changes plus the RGB looks too symmetrical as well.
Interestingly, I changed it the Make to Canon and it went back to the original settings. I checked other cameras and some behaved like the Nikon. I also went through various len models and some show this histogram fix with some lenses and looks normal with others.
The histogram clipping triangles disappeared in the Develop module. Upgrading from LR 5.2 to 5.3 did not solve the problem, and I can't find an on/off toggle in any of the support sites.
Frequently when I import raw Nikon files to lightroom 4 I initially see a picture with tone and white balance I really like. during this time (2 to 10 seconds) the histogram indicates that it is calculating. When the histogram is finished calculating the picture changes with bad tone (exposure, contrast ...). You can go and manually change the tone settings but it can take sometime and I would rather be able to quickly return to the picture settings that was initially presented. Is there a short cut or easier way?
while importing photos in Lightroom 4 they all are covered with a green layer even on the histogram. Could that have something to do with my configurations? Working with windows 7 prof.
I have lightroom 3. I have set my camera on shooting in jpg and raw. I import them both and get them as 1 picture in lightroom. When I rate the picture with a star and I save it to the exif data it only saves it to thseperate xmp file. Also if I rotate the picture it only writes it in the separate file. I want to save also the exif data to the jpg file. How can I do this in one go?
Here's the bottom line: I understand how to insert coordinates into a photo's EXIF. I can clearly see the coordinates when viewing EXIF within LR4, but that's where the trail ends.
I am trying to view the GPS EXIF data in multiple other programs and I just don't see it anywhere. I also participate in an web sharing site that automatically maps photos upon upload, assuming the coordinates are in the EXIF. This isn't working for me either. As a test I uploaded a file that had coordinates written to EXIF (according to LR4), and then downloaded that image back to my PC, and re-imported it to LR4 ... I can see all EXIF except no GPS coordinates.
For all practical purposes, it appears LR4 is not really writing the coordinates to EXIF except for what is displayed inside the shell of Lightroom.
I have a Panasonic GH3 camera. I would like to add an item that is in the EXIF data of the RAW and DNG file to the EXIF fields kept by LR5. I can see all the camera EXIF data by using the GREAT 'exiftool.exe' created by Phil Harvey.
[URL] ......
Just to start, I would like to add the item "Focus Mode" that is in the "Panasonic" section of the EXIF file of the RAW and DNG files. The Focus Mode field has values such as:
Example 1:
---- Panasonic ---- Image Quality : Raw Firmware Version : 0.1.2.0 White Balance : Auto Focus Mode : Manual AF Area Mode : 1-area Image Stabilization : Off Macro Mode : Off Shooting Mode : Aperture Priority
or, as anoher example:
Example 2:
---- Panasonic ---- Image Quality : Raw Firmware Version : 0.1.2.0 White Balance : Auto Focus Mode : AF-S AF Area Mode : 1-area Image Stabilization : Off Macro Mode : Off Shooting Mode : Aperture Priority
I find this data in both the Panasonic Raw files, and the DNG files created by LR5 (and I was very relieved to find that the Focus Mode is carried forward to the DNG files, since I don't keep my old Panasonic RW2 Raw files after they are converted to DNG!).
So, since this camera manufacturer data *is* in the DNG, LR5 *is* reading it.
Thus my question: How can I tell LR5 to inclued the "FOCUS MODE" value in the EXIF data it creates with each photo?
In Lightroom 3.6 (which I just upgraded to from 3.5), I noticed that when I export photos with the option "Minimize Embedded Metadata" CHECKED, the exported JPG images have no EXIF data at all. This was not the case in 3.5.
I am trying to import plant photos into Lightroom4 with their Family, Genus and Species along with Location keywords, by placing the data in the image using exiftool. But failing. One hierarchy seems to work, but not more. I can replicate what Lightroom creates, but it does not seem to read OK.
