terry47 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi All Relatively new to Affinity, haven't used it much since buying on the strength of a trail to create a panorama. Easy to use and creates easy panoramas with very little editing needed of the image after merging. My question is that where does all the Exif data go? I created a pano from 5 shots all of which had their individual Exif data present. The resultant one image had all of its data missing. Now I've had this issue previously with other software but all the camera details were retained only the date and time were blank so that was easy to rectify. Is this a 'design feature' of the app or am I missing something? Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted April 25, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 25, 2016 When you export did you check that the 'embed metadata' option was checked. You should find it in the 'more' options dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry47 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi pauls Thanks for the pointer, hadn't found that one, but I have now and the option is ticked. However it made no difference there is still no metadata attached to the image. I have tried 2 different export formats (jpeg & tiff) but have the same result, no exif data. The 5 images used to create the panorama have their individual exif data, but when combined in File>New Panorama all the exif data is lost on the resultant image. Any other suggestion would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted April 25, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 25, 2016 Would it be possible to post a couple of the images and I'll investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry47 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi pauls Hopefully below are 3 images. The first two are individuals that are included in the panorama, while the third is the actual panorama. I have included them as jpeg images as the originals are in raw and are some 75mb in size and the panorama is in tiff at 340mb, which I thought would be too large to post. Hopefully these will help you, but feel free to ask for any other info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted April 26, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 26, 2016 Can you confirm the version of Affinity Photo you are currently using please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry47 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Affinity Photo version 1.4.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted April 26, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm still getting some exif info in the stitched panorama using those 2 images and that's using the same version as you. Maybe you could copy the corresponding raw files here At an outside guess it may be worth ensuring that you have deleted the trial version and also when you run up Affinity Photo hold down the control key to do a full reset.

Staff Pauls Posted April 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 28, 2016 Exif info is not being retained when using raw files as the source. It is however if the files are exported to Jpeg/Tiff then used for stitching. Issue logged to be looked into. Thanks for reporting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
