Extra Camera Info

[DoctorIt]

How come the extra camera info only appears on some of my images within the same gallery? Look at this one as an example:

http://doctorit.smugmug.com/gallery/116497

There is a photo for each day, all taken with the same camera, most (if not all) taken as RAW, similar amounts of post processing, all in PS... but, only the ones after 5-05-2004 (so all except the first 5 in that gallery) have the camera info. Weird?

did you change your raw processing workflow? some converted do not keep the exif from raw-jpg.

A while ago (months now) I got all bent out of shape because my raw files wouldn't show exif in smugmug. Found out it was because they essentially became embedded a different way (so still there, but not as tagged exif) in the PS conversion. So I stopped worrying about it. But, I haven't changed my workfow, and since 5-06-04, all of a sudden my daily photos have exif in smugmug. Check my june album too, all there.

HA!!!

Thanks Andy... wasn't so much a change in my workflow as a change in my tools. I figured it out because after 5-05-2004 there were 2 more random photos (13 and 14) that didn't have exif. Well... a little further investigation showed that those 2 were converted from RAW here at my work machine rather than at home as usual. Hmmm, lo and behold, the only difference is that I had updated the RAW plug-in (v2.2) at home and not at work - EUREKA, I've solved it!!!!!

So I just double checked and tested it out. Processed a photo real quick, updated, rebooted, then reprocessed the same photo. Fixed:

Conclusion: the new v2.2 of PS RAW plug-in also fixes exif handling!!! Hooray for Adobe!

I guess I'll have to update to version 2.2 now - I didi not see any real need for me to upgrade since the 10D was already covered by Adobe PS CS. But if the exif data will be carried along better I will add the upgrade 2.2 to the RAW convertor for that reason alone. Thanks, DrIT!

I couldn't find anything better about, but ended up downloading it so I could look at a friend's D70 file. Glad I did it, nice to have exif on smugmug.
