Photoshop :: Save RAW Files To JPEG, Removes EXIF Data?

View 5 RepliesI use lightroom 4.1 on win 7 64bit. I i have a NEF file with all the details, iso, shutter speed, etc. I click on file and tell it to edit with photoshop cs6.
I edit my file, make adjustments, etc then I save for web and put i in subfolder where the NEF file was originally. Now I go back to lightroom and tell to sync the folder where i saved the file.
The problem is the JPEG file has all the exif data wiped out.
I routinely always edit my images in photoshop as i find it much more powerful than using lightroom but what bums me out is when saving it as a jpeg it stripped of all data, and I'm wondering is this caused my lightroom or photoshop.
So to inspect further i open file in windows explorer do file properties and theres no info on it. yet the NEF file has everything on it. So maybe photoshop is somehow removing all this.
I often produce product images for clients that they then supply to their distributors and I prefer that my camera EXIF data not be included (none of their business). I use various actions to produce a variety of sizes and colourspaces (sRGB and CMYK) from the original PSDs. Unfortunately Photoshop seems to lack the ability to strip the camera EXIF data from a PSD file other than by copying the image to a new document. This is fine for a few images. But when you have 50-100 images it's not very practical.
Here's an action that would work:
Note: Image layers are not supported and the colourspace is lost so you will need to make note of the colourspace of the originals.
Action 1 : Open (flatten) and save the RGB or CMYK PSD files as Scitex Format (SCT).
Action 2: Open .SCT files, assign the now missing colourspace tag, re-save as PSD.
I can then add any metatags that should be embedded in these images.
But does anyone know of a plugin or post-processing utility that will strip selective metadata (ie: camera info only, not the metatags with the company info, copyright etc..) from RGB and CMYK 'Photoshop format' images?
For years I have been using Bridge and ACR for my raw workflow. I use only DNG files and have the database turned off so the EXIF data is embedded right into the original DNG file. This means my files are 100% portable without and sidecar.
Can I work with lightroom 4 without having a database? OR can I assure that each DNG file has all it's setting automatically embedded as it does in Bridge?
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

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.

I've just uploaded a picture to my Flickr photostream from within Lightroom 4 release version (Win 7 64 bit). I geotagged the picture in Lightroom's new Maps module and the image shows GPS co-ordinates in the Metadata panel in the Library module.
The photo on flickr has no GPS data and does not appear on the map in Flickr. I've downloaded the original version of the picture from Flickr and opened in the GeoSetter tool, which confirms that no GPS data is embedded in the JPEG file.
In Lightroom 4's "Publish Services" section Flickr does not have the "Remove Location Info" setting ticked under metadata.
EDIT: I've just tried to export a picture using the normal export button in the Library module. In this dialog box "Remove Location Info" was ticked. I unticked it and exported and can confirm that GPS data is successfully stored in this image. It just doesn't seem to get to Flickr using the built-in publishing service for some reason.
I have Photoshop 10.0 (Windows XP) and use it to edit my photos from my new Nikon D300 camera. I create and maintain my images in JPG format as a preference and have no plans of saving in RAW. My D300 includes 40 to 50 camera info/metadata elements including the camera and lens settings at the time the photo is taken. When I do a simple "Save As" in Photoshop 10 to a new JPG file (whether image adjustments are done to the source image or not), the new JPG file is stripped of about half or more of the original camera-specific metadata elements. Is there a Photoshop setting or Nikon/Photoshop plug-in that will force the software to preserve/retain the original metadata? (The Capture NX2 solution is not an option as the one key feature I use is Auto Levels - The Auto Levels feature in Capture NX2 washes out my photos to an undesireable state). Therefore, I need to continue using Adobe for the benefit of their better Auto Levels feature and I also use their automation heavily as I process 100's of photos at a time. The only drawback of Adobe right now is they discard most of the camera specific shooting data at the time of save. RAW is not an option as the file sizes are too large for my storage, sharing and usage needs.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have used a PC for many years and saved files in JPEG with Photoshop CS4 and then CS5 no problem. Recently I bought a mac and upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and then upgraded again to Photoshop CS6 Extended.
Now when I save files as 'JPEG' in Photoshop CS6 Extended they save okay but when I try to open these files in other programs they can't read the file. If I try to attach these JPEG's in an email they send a script and no image.
The only way to send JPEG's by email on my mac seems to be if I right click on the JPEG image and send it that way by email - I can't add it to emails though. Am I saving in the wrong format for a mac ?
Everytime I "save for web" my EXIF data is stripped when using CS3.
I have been told to "save as", instead, but that function doesn't allow me to "save as" jpg's. I assume I must be doing something wrong or have an incorrect preference set.
If I am unable to save my EXIF in jpg's using CS3, can I do so, if I upgrade to CS4?
I've been using an old version of Photoshop for awhile (Photoshop Elements 5.0) and it hasn't been buggy until now. I made a photoshop file, saved it, and when I tried to save it as a JPEG I get an "cannot complete request due to a system error" type message. It's a normal file, simple layers, contrast, brushes, etc., but I've tried opening normal JPEG files, drawing on it, and saving, still nothing.

exif data included that i want to be removed is shutter speed, GPRS location, lighting, time, etc. I would like to get ALL of the data removed.
When I upload jpg files that have been saved in photoshop CS3 to my account on Flickr, an excessive amount of information appears in the exif data. In particular, there is a list of every time that I have edited and saved the file. How can I eliminate this information?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am new to Photoshop Elements. How can I see the exif data of a photo?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I understand it, the EXIF that the camera captures has all of the details about when the picture was taken. Including time picture taken, camera settings & model number, if flash fired or not etc,etc. Some cameras have much more data than others & this can include GPS location & perhaps even more that I'm unaware of.
When I use PSE & add tags I have the option of having the EXIF data on each individual photo file overwritten or added to what it had originally. Is this correct?
What if any other programs read this data, Windows perhaps? And & if so how is this done? Can any other programs make use of this data? For instance if I were to export a reduced size copy of one of my picture & emailed it to someone are they likely to be able to see this data?
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.
I've got a template file, which has my photo stored as Smart Object. There are some filters performed on it, and some groups of filters I select to match the image. It works great. However, the only caveat is that the EXIF data is stored from original image. Photoshop doesn't read the EXIF from the most recently imported file.

View 17 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I've narrowed a problem down to LR 4.2 RC's geotagging: once I tag an image with gps values via the map module in LR I compress/optimise with a tool called Riot [URL] .... but this is reporting the following error with any gps-touched files from LR:
JPEG error: Exif: Suspicious offset of first IFD value
No files have this unless LR tries to gps-tag them. After that happens, my blu-ray player spends 10-15 seconds loading these images to display on a tv, yet if LR hasn't touched them they appears almost instantly. Clearly LR 4.2 RC is doing something to the files (corrupting?)
I'm using a Nikon D80 shooting jpegs.
I process three images with PSP X5 using the HDR feature and the EXIF data is dropped.

[URL]
The software functions by reading EXIF data and, based on this information, determines the camera, lens, and focal length, and automatically corrects lens distortion.
The plug-in is compatible with Photoshop on both the Mac and PC. Unfortunately, EXIF data is not available for plug-ins under PSP. Without EXIF data the user must manually enter camera make, model, lens, and lens focal length. This is a bit onerous for users with zoom lenses.
Work at your end, assuming you have access to a pointer to EXIF data, is trivial. I estimate less than one hour of developer time. As a result, users will have access to automatic correction for distortion via the PTLens plug-in.
I am willing to work with a developer on your end to see this feature implemented in your software.

A call to getProperty returns zero, indicating all is okay. But a call to getSize returns zero, indicating no EXIF data. I tried a different approach. A PSP script, to obtain EXIF data, was successful. But there is no way to pass this information to a plug-in.
Setting an environment variable in the script, and reading the variable in the plug-in, won't work because I need to set an environment variable in a parent process. This is not permitted.
Writing a file from the script, and then reading it back in the plug-in, doesn't work because the script is running in a protected environment where writing files is not allowed.
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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI shoot pictures in RAW (Pentax PEF format) which includes gps data. As the pictures are being imported the Lightroom prompts for reverse geo mapping and detects the data and locates it on the map from map module. However, when exported in JPG, the GPS is missing in the Exif. It was working in 4.1. Again, it did not work sometimes in 4.1.
