Exif data is totally cut of by Export Persona It is only properly exported/adapted from RAW by File/Export function. Generally: The Exif handling should be implemented much better. In comparison to Lr/Photoshop it is de facto inexistent. Of course there is the "All" view. But in there, I mess up with the countless xml tags, which are quite inconvenient to use - if you don't know the correct meaning by heart - what I do not and I have no intention to learn them. Guys, I want to use the program and not mess around with xml tags I have no clue of Appreciate any help, reply, whatever... Cheers mates, Roland PS: I was not sure, shall I post this under bugs or enhancement requests. Somehow it is like Schrödinger's cat: both

I'm a long time Photoshop user. One of the default things I do before posting photos to the web is add a title, description, copyright info, and keywords to my files. I really, really, really want to be able to do that in Affinity Photo! I've tried using a standalone EXIF editor on my iMac, but only part of the data added is retained when output for the web (after editing in Affinity Photo -- i.e. all keywords/tags are missing).

Hey folks, actually I am very upset at the moment cause I have to repair manually lot of the data from my photos made from my trip in Scotland. Actually I use the raw development from my Panasonic data and this kills and messes up everything in the EXIF. E.g. the GPS data that is recorded well in the jpeg and the .rw2 file from the cam. I open the rw2 and develop with affinity photo and long story short... after the export to jpeg again the GPS data is "modified" means that the longitude is changed from west to east ??? WHY!? Finally all of my pics have been shot in the middle of the north sea now... great! Another thing is the time stamp in the file.. After editing, developing, editing and exporting to Jpeg I place the photos to the Macintosh app Photos to use as library After the import of the files the mess begins... all photos are mixed up and not anymore in the right order. I hit CMD+I for the information ... the timestamp seems to be correct. I dabble click the time to check the timezone ... and it is f***** up.. no time zone and a time which has nothing to do with the original and neither with the editing Maybe someone have an idea how to fix it for the future... now I have edited all timestamps and gps data manually which took me some days what I want to avoid in future...

When manipulating RAW files and exporting them into JPEG, the EXIF data does not contain any clue, that the JPEG was created using Affinity Photo. Most other tools use the EXIF-Tag "Software" to identify, they were used (e.g. Photoshop, Windows Photo Editor, Lightroom etc.). Wouldn't this help to increase the degree of recognition of Affinity Photo?

In AFFINITY PHOTO, EXIF date shot lost on export I cannot find the date and time of shot after exporting the image .psd or .jpg. Date shot is OK when saving in .afphoto format — see screen shots. How can I keep date and time of shot in other formats? Thanks for the tip.

Would be fine if the APhoto OSX QuickLook-addon would also show the associated Exif info for .afphoto files in the finder.

Experimenting with the use of Affinity Photo 1.6.6 for developing raw files, I discovered the camera/lens metadata seems to be missing from the saved .afphoto files. Is this the intended behavior? When I export a JPG, the exif data is present. I'm reading this in my DAM, Photo Supreme, which seems to be one of the few mac applications capable of creating a thumbnail image from the native .afphoto file. Thanks in advance for your answer Bob

EXIF data is lost when sharing images to Apple Photos from Affinity Photo 1.6.6 using File > Share > Add to Photos, please retain this data.

Using the trial version of Affinity Photo I recognized that AP 1.6 is modifying the embedded metadata on export of a jpeg image. Mainly the MakerNotes have been deleted. This worries me because perhaps I can not show anymore sweep panoramas on my Sony TV. I assume that the slide show function of the TV evaluates certain MakerNotes of an image. However I could not verify that because my trial period was too short and has expired meanwhile :-( Who of you AP experts have experience with sweep panoramas and can (or cannot) confirm that AP does not affect this function at all? TIA

I noticed that embedded metadata of an exported jpg image are modified by the Affinity Photo trial version (Windows). Obviously MakerNotes are stripped. That worries me in particular with my sweep panorama pictures of my Sony digicam. I assume that Sony MakerNotes must be evaluated to display a sweep panorama correctly. Unfortunately my trial version expired and I could not check this :-(. My question: is this sweep panorama function affected by AP ? Any experience with AP 1.6. exports of Sony sweep panoramas? TIA

Hello, great tool. I've got AP trial (version 1.6.0.89). The EFIF-Tab shows "n/a" at all entries after opening any file. So with jpegs and raws of different cameras (canon & panasonic). Starting the app as admin doesn't help. Exeption rule on the anti virus tool doesn't help. Installing program in a different folder on d:\ doesn't help. I know inbetween that it concerns the tool exiftool.exe in the resources folder. Couldn't find more help or topics. Addidtional: I work with photoshop (elements for private use and CC in job). May I add a wish for the developers to copy a helpful workflow from photoshop: Increase / decrease brush size by moving mouse left/right while pressing ALT and right mousebutton. Also increase / decrease brush hardness by moving mouse up/down while pressing ALT and right mousebutton. Meaning all types of brushes such as clone brush, paint brush, dodge brush and so on. Certainly a huge wish, but would be definitively an immense help. Collegues always applause, when I show them this trick on photoshop. (Should I create a separate content for this?) Sorry about my english. It's not my first language. Greetings... Juergen.

Hello, I am testing the trial version of Affinity (v 1.6.0.89) to develop RAW files from my Fujifilm X10 camera (.RAF files). When I open the file, the EXIF data is not loaded (all fields are set to "n/d" on EXIF panel). With other software the exif is correctly displayed. Is there a support for Exif data for this specific camera in Affinity ? Regards,

Am I missing something? Im trying a simple workflow: 1. Open a photo from Photos 2. Edit 3. Save back to Photos (export - share) However I try the resultant file loses all EXIF data. This is rendering Affinity almost useless for my as its breaking The way my library is organised. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround? any help appreciated

When I open a NIKON NEF raw picture in Affinity photo the color space and the dimensions are wrong. Affinity shows sRGB instead of RGB / 3900x2613px instead of 3872x2592px / see attached screenshots

How do I edit IPTC, EXIF, GPS and XMP data in Affinity Photo? Sorry if this has been asked before. I just bought it and try to process some of my files. All my files (NEF, PSD, TIFF, DNG and JPG formats) have clean and proper embedded metadata (legacy IPTC (IIM), EXIF, GPS and XMP either embedded or in sidecar files). How does AP deal with that? Where can I edit or at least view this data? Can AP edit XMP and other metadata?

Installed the app recently and I'm impressed what's possible on the iPad Pro. I have selected to preserve the metadata but when I export a photo all is visible except for ISO value. Any idea as to how I can fix this?

Hi there, are you considering to really support a mobile professional workflow? Coming from a job (e.g. wedding), I have thousands of raw images which I have to go through and select the best ones to be edited. Back home, I would like to store them on my NAS and synchronize a specific folder with my iPad. I could then do the culling on the roads, e.g. sitting in a train (offline). Back home, the ratings should again be synchronized to my NAS so I can start editing the best ones on my iMac. Edited photos should then be synchronized via NAS to my iPad, so I can show them to customers... I definitely want to sync via NAS, because I easily end up with more than 100GB of images after a wedding. There must not be any cloud storage involved because this slows down the entire process! Additionally, for travel photography it would be great to back up to my iPad first while traveling. I could then start rating the images with star ratings and synchronize the result as soon as I am back home. This means I neither have to carry a laptop to choose the best images, nor do I have to wait with the rating and selection of my images until I am at home... For my personal images it would be great if all edited photos could be synced to my photos roll on iMac, iPhone and iPad via NAS (with the time when my images were taken, not when they were edited...) looking forward to hearing from you chris

After importing Nikon D7000 NEF files into Affinity, several EXIF data are lost, most important (for me) are the GPS data. Almost all IPTC Content data are lost (Title, Headline, Description, Keywords.) If the same files are converted to JPEG before imported, all data are kept.

I have a Nikon D500 with infinity for windows , the exif of my photos ".nef" are empty! Why ? How to get this info?

I do not see Exif information when editing a jpg from my camera Sony A6000.

Hi, why is shown with a RAW file the correct pixel value but in the EXIF another much smaller value shown. See image. Is it a bug? If Jpg-load and persona develop is both to same. Greeting Dieter

The develop persona is using a different size for my RAW photos, that what is recorded in the EXIF. I attach a screenshot. Now, why is that? It makes me lose my confidence for the RAW converter. Having paid €3500 for a camera body, I am after the highest possible quality for the RAW conversion. BTW, if you are trying to reverse engineer proprietary RAW formats that the hardware vendors seem to have disclosed to other software makers, perhaps it would make sense to coordinate and try to push Sony, Canon etc to the right direction. Our photos belong to us.

Hi, when in AP Photo Persona and doing "New Stack...">Add several Nikon NEF files>OK>Export as TIFF (or any other format) It seems like all EXIF data included in the original NEF files is lost (shot with Nikon D5300). I would have expected AP to keep common EXIF fields at least. Thanks! Xav'

I have been looking at the EXIF/metadata handling in 1.5 Beta 3 and found a few issues. I know it is still early days in the beta cycle and I hope these will be rectified before release. I used a .ORF raw file from an Olympus Stylus 1 as my starting point and simply imported the file and exported it as a highest-grade .JPG file. Here are my findings so far 1 Display .ORF - Some items are missing in the Summary display although they are present in the file “Copyright” “Description” “Author” is also missing but this is present in the raw file under the “Creator” and "Artist" tags so I can understand it being absent. .JPG - Same comments as for the .ORF file above. In addition other items are now missing: “Date shot” “Exp. prog” “Metering” Furthermore, some items have been changed “Aperture” was 2.8 in the .ORF now shows 2/1 for the .JPG “Exp. bias” in the .ORF was 0 now shows 0/1 for the .JPG 2 Metadata Some metadata items seem to have been stripped when converting from raw to .JPG. These include: “Artist“ “By-line“ “Caption-Abstract“ “CircleOfConfusion“ “CodedCharacterSet“ “Compression“ “Contrast“ “Copyright“ “CopyrightNotice“ “CreateDate“ “Creator“ “DateTimeOriginal” “Description“ “DigitalZoomRatio“ “ExifVersion“ “ExposureProgram“ “Flash“ “FocalLengthIn35mmFormat” “GainControl“ “GPSAltitude“ “GPSAltitudeRef“ “GPSImgDirection“ “GPSImgDirectionRef“ “GPSMapDatum“ “GPSSpeed“ “GPSSpeedRef“ “GPSTrack“ “GPSTrackRef“ “GPSVersionID“ “Keywords“ “LightSource“ “MaxApertureValue” “ModifyDate“ “Orientation“ “PrintIMVersion” “Rights“ “Sharpness“ “Subject“ “WhiteBalance“ In addition, some items seem to have been altered: “Aperture” was 2.8 in .ORF is now 2 in .JPG “FNumber” was 2.8 in .ORF is now 2 in .JPG “FocalLength” was 9.8 mm in .ORF is now 9.0 mm in .JPG “FocalLength35efl” was 9.8 mm (35 mm equivalent: 46.0 mm) in .ORF is now 9.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 42.1 mm) in .JPG “HyperfocalDistance” was 5.36 m in .ORF is now 6.31 m .JPG “LightValue” was 10.6 in .ORF is now 9.6 in .JPG Some of these are probably the result of the algorithm Affinity Photo uses to convert to JPG but I would not have expected items such as "Aperture" to change and in fact Lightroom does not change them when exporting the same file to JPG. I guess that metadata handling is not a high priority at this point in the beta cycle and some of the missing items might not seem to be that important. On the other hand, it should not be difficult to just pass values through from the raw to the processed file. When items such as creation time/date are missing it causes havoc when trying to organize the images in a DAM.

Just checked Beta 4 and there is no change from Beta 3 in the metadata handling (as far as I can see) although "- Fixed failure to write metadata." appears in the list of Improvements & Fixes. Maybe it didn't make it into this version or this refers to a different fix?
