sig_eigei Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I just started with Affinity Photo for iPad. In my first 'project' I opened an image from the Photos app on my iPad. I manipulated this image with Af Photo. I then used the export command to share the corrected image with my Photos on my iPad by using Export, then Share, and then the 'Save Image" action. When I open the image in Photos the metadata (camera type, location, etc.) is missing. I have the 'Embed metadata' on in the Export module. Is metadata only exported if you save to a cloud service by clicking OK and then choosing a destination like dropbox? Is this a bug? It seems so. Am I doing something wrong?

Staff DWright Posted January 2, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi sig_eigei, Welcome to the forum Can you please provide me with further information on the image format that you are opening from Photos and the format you are exporting to from Affinity Photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig_eigei Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hello and thanks in advance... I started with an image from the iPhone 7 so maybe it is HEIF format. I then exported to JPEGm saving in iOS Photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted January 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 3, 2018 At the moment when you open a HEIF image from Apple Photo we are sent the JPEG version of the images and it looks like this version also has the metadata removed from it.

sig_eigei Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I see. So that means that in order to maintain the metadata I must first export from the Photos app and then pull into AP? Is there another way this stripping of metadata can be avoided ? I suspect it’s in your hands and/or Apple’s. Thanks for the clarification and I hope this import behavior will resolved in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
