Re: ONE FOR THE COMPUTER BOFFINS
OK Guys. Thanks for all the help. It looks like the import function just doesn't work but I've found a work around. Using EXIF Pilot I simply add an extra tab (Lens Type) and the lens data. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/16360366887/(scroll down a bit) Alan C -Original Message- From: Igor PDML-StR Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2015 7:27 PM To: PDML@pdml.net Subject: Re: ONE FOR THE COMPUTER BOFFINS Alan, Eric has already referred you to the exiftool (and lenstagger if you have LR), and that's what I was going to suggest. However, here is one additional thought triggered by this description: Using an EXIF editor I can add a lens info tab + the lens name manually & then Flickr finds it but it still doesn't put it into the Elements so the Windows EXIF is not the same as the Elements EXIF. Based on this (assuming that you are writing EXIF information correctly, and in the correct field), - I am suspecting that you've already tried what ExifTool does, and that route is not working for you. But I see some possible confusion(s) and possibilities here. 1. You said that you are working with JPEG files, and then you mention "The lens ID is there but not the lens info because it obviously is not in the Camera Raw look up file." Camera Raw shouldn't play any role if you are working with a JPG in Elements. Am I missing something? 2. Now, in case you are talking about a RAW file: I am not sure how the combination of Elements & ACR behaves, but based on what you are describing, I might guess that it might be just ignoring the Lens Info field, only relying on the lens ID and the lookup of that. Typically, (at least that's how it has been for Pentax lenses circa 2-3 years ago when I researched it), lens name is NOT in the Exif. Rather, programs (including the one on Flickr's website) interpret the lens ID. This lens ID tag is in the area of Exif called "Maker note". Now, as far as I know, the tags reserverd by Pentax in that area do not have the information for the lens name. So, when you are saying you are adding "a lens info tab + the lens name manually", - which portion of Exif is it going to? There are various areas of the metadata that you might be righting to. And PE might not be looking for the lens info in the area where you are writing. Flickr might be smart enough to scan the entire metadata for the tags. Also, mind that there is a difference between IPTC metadata standard and XMP standard, and there could've been different standards in different years (IPTC just got updated in 2014). I am too lazy to get into the details and how that may affect your case. I might just speculate that if you are writing something with a modern software (ExifTool) in the area that didn't exist in the specs of the time of your PE version, PE doesn't read it.

Re: Peso- Almond Orchard Peek
On second thought...I certainly get the "glaring" of the sunlight off the white blossoms. I felt the scene needed more than the few blossoms and twigs.

Re: PESO -- Let's do lunch.
The butterfly is cool. I'm not in that big a hurry for winter to end. For me, it just means I got to cut the "grass" again (over & over again). We got some "snow" around here this week. Monday we got about an inch before it turned into a mixture of sleet & freezing rain. Woke up Tuesday morning to ICE; big pain in the patootie because I HAVE TO shovel it off so the mail person won't slip on it and sue me. Lowes was all out of road salt. Just about the time I got it finished we started getting flurries again. I expect that's winter's last gasp around here. The only reason I mention it is the next street over from mine is a main thoroughfare & they've got it closed to replace sewer lines. The detour runs down my block. For the first time since I moved here 40 years ago the city sent out the scraper truck to remove the snow from my street. Note: "grass" in quotes because it's not grass. It's some kind of green weeds. But as long as it keeps the dirt covered I don't have to deal with the neighborhood infestation of yuppie scum house flippers complaining to the city about it & causing me grief.

Re: ONE FOR THE COMPUTER BOFFINS
Alan, Eric has already referred you to the exiftool (and lenstagger if you have LR), and that's what I was going to suggest. However, here is one additional thought triggered by this description: Using an EXIF editor I can add a lens info tab + the lens name manually & then Flickr finds it but it still doesn't put it into the Elements so the Windows EXIF is not the same as the Elements EXIF. Based on this (assuming that you are writing EXIF information correctly, and in the correct field), - I am suspecting that you've already tried what ExifTool does, and that route is not working for you. But I see some possible confusion(s) and possibilities here. 1. You said that you are working with JPEG files, and then you mention "The lens ID is there but not the lens info because it obviously is not in the Camera Raw look up file." Camera Raw shouldn't play any role if you are working with a JPG in Elements. Am I missing something? 2. Now, in case you are talking about a RAW file: I am not sure how the combination of Elements & ACR behaves, but based on what you are describing, I might guess that it might be just ignoring the Lens Info field, only relying on the lens ID and the lookup of that. Typically, (at least that's how it has been for Pentax lenses circa 2-3 years ago when I researched it), lens name is NOT in the Exif. Rather, programs (including the one on Flickr's website) interpret the lens ID. This lens ID tag is in the area of Exif called "Maker note". Now, as far as I know, the tags reserverd by Pentax in that area do not have the information for the lens name. So, when you are saying you are adding "a lens info tab + the lens name manually", - which portion of Exif is it going to? There are various areas of the metadata that you might be righting to. And PE might not be looking for the lens info in the area where you are writing. Flickr might be smart enough to scan the entire metadata for the tags. Also, mind that there is a difference between IPTC metadata standard and XMP standard, and there could've been different standards in different years (IPTC just got updated in 2014). I am too lazy to get into the details and how that may affect your case. I might just speculate that if you are writing something with a modern software (ExifTool) in the area that didn't exist in the specs of the time of your PE version, PE doesn't read it. In case you want to read up on that yourself: http://www.iptc.org/cms/site/index.html?channel=CH0099 HTH, Igor On 19 February 2015 at 08:40, Alan C wrote: I am doing this to try & find a way of getting the HD 55-300 lens info into the EXIF. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
