Leave exif in file?

[Krazy]

Nice topic guys, but please help me.
After re-installing it on my pc, EXIF data are not visible anymore on JP or any other site.
Can someone tell me how to get the EXIF data there?

Thanks in advance,
Joop

Hi Joop,

The EXIF info is part of the image file itself, so that won't disappear. What I can't figure out from your question is 'what' you re-installed.

Viewing EXIF info of website images (when the image has it stored with it) the formentioned Exif Viewer add-on for Firefox works like a dream.

Hi Krazy,

I reinstalled both Zoombrowser and Photoshop Elements.

Shouldn't be an issue.. perhaps a setting in the programs?

You can check if the EXIF info on your images is still there by right clicking on an image file in Windows Explorer, select properties ('Eigenschappen'), then select the tab Summary ('Samenvatting' ?) and then you should see a button which reads Advanced or Simple.. Click on it if it reads Advanced. Then you have to see all the EXIF info that is available in the image.

Can't help you with the program settings though.. sorry about that.

Ok, it has been said before but i will say it again. When you want to save your picture as a JPG, choose the "Save as" option and NOT the "Save for the web". (I used to do it like this and never had EXIF info in my pictures)

Save for the web will leave out all additional info to get the smallest possible file.

I use Opanda EXIF viewer to check other peoples' pictures and that works like a charm.

I like the whole idea. Would be great if this forum would be able to process the EXIF info and show it next to the photo. Next to the interesting items like focal length, aperture etc, you could also read the position where the picture is taken. As long people start with Geotagging that is. And then we could have something which I like very much, plotting the pics on a map like on flickr.com or locr.com

Here one example.

And an example of how it is used on the locr website

Hi Frank,

That Cougar shot looks familiar! How do you geotag your images? Do you log your locations with some sort of GPS tracker, or just manually with Google Earth/Maps and typing the coordinates into XMP files?

I agree that the EXIF-data are very useful, especially from an educational point of view, but Geotagging..........

Frank, looking at you locr-website I see a header "Gruppen/Flugzeuge und Flieger", so that confirms to me that you love the German language.
Well then, allow me to give my opinion about Geotagging as well in German: Spielerei

Nice pic of that cougar, by the way!

Herr Heijmen.

Long time no speak. Locr is a German website and even if you put the main language to English, you will still see a lot of German. Never mind.. Spielerei, ja richtich, aber ziz hole hobby ist Spielerei nicht ? For me, I like to take pictures as a memory for what I have seen, and Geotagging is a way to remember where I have been. You probably remember that I had this big map on the wall a long time ago, plotting with pins where I had been. This is the same, but then an electronic version. I am still busy tagging all my pictures with Geo-info, but one day the map will be ready ! And as far as I remember you kept track of airfields where you have been right ?

DJ. nice seeing you yesterday! To enter Geo-data into the XMP files of my RAW pictures I have two choices.
1. I have a small device, a I-GotU GPS logger (http://www.navishop.nl/product_info.php ... ts_id/4714" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) which logs time, date and position. Together with the software i can then merge the pictures with the Geo info, as my pictures do have a time stamp as well of course. It is however quite necessary to match the time and date of the camera together with the GPS logger

2. You can also do it manually which is sometimes far easier, if you have been standing on one position and you know exactly where it was. I use the program called Geotagger, which is free. It is available at http://www.geosetter.de/en/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and I can really recommend it. It works with RAW files, and it can also read the log data of most GPS loggers. It is just a matter of seconds to add GPS data to the pictures.

If I then export it to flickr.com or i can export them to Google Earth as well. I am still working on it, but in the end it would be nice to have map with all the dots where I have been.

Here is an example.
