exif tags

[LOZ]

How do I attach exif tags to my picture posts .I use Rawshooter and the basic tags are their such as camera make ect but when retrieved an posted to this and other sites they are missing .Could this be a issue with firewalls and security I am at a loss with this one LOZ

One thing that is missing from my D70s that my old CoolPix 4500 has is the ability to write exif stuff out to a text file with the jpg.

Irfanview lets you view EXIF and copy it to the clipboard, but only for JPGs, not NEFs, so you will have to do it from the output files from RAWShooter.

This is what i got from Irfanview-

Your other option is some Perl Script that searches through the files and writes it to text similar to what my old Coolpix does. Google away

I'd also like some info on this subject.

Here is what i use and do.

I upload the images on my HDD with pictureproject
Use viewRAW to view the NEF files (only ever shoot in raw format)
Edit the images in Photoshop CS
Save in jpg format and keep the orignal NEF file

How do you embed the EXIF info in a jpg image, ive no idea and no idea where to start looking.

if you use the 'save as web' function it doesnt save the exif date, but 'save as' does.

Try a program called Exifer. Its free http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/

You select the image in question and "Save to file" the exif data.

Then you can do what you want with the image and when you want to reinsert the EXIF data you select the finalised image and "Insert from file", choosing the original images EXIF data.

Thats all too easy!

Ive been saving for the web all the time, dont know why i save at 100% quality anyway.

embi - ill have a look at that, could come in handy in the future.

Thanks

Jamie
