Photo Seller – Importing EXIF data into gallery

[rls]

It would be really useful to be able to import exif data from photos that I have tagged with picasa face detection into the gallery, to enable my customers to easily find there own photos…

EXIF data is part of the JPEG file format, and is already “there.” Perhaps what you are asking for is the ability to selectively display and search for any embedded EXIF data, in uploaded pictures?

[rls]

Yes ,I guess so !

[Peter]

rls,

Can you please provide more details about exactly what you want to achieve and how you want the functionality to work?

[rls]

I would like to be able search on someones name to display all the photos with them in,

I am not sure how Picasa saves the name data, but imagine it is just another field in the EXIF?

Any update on this feature? Any serious person who wants to Download Digital Files will want EXIF data.

THANKS!

Yes the plugin will read exif and iptc data from an uploaded image.

There is also a setting in the “advanced settings” section called “Display IPTC Keywords”

Yes, I already have that IPTC selection enabled. I do not see EXIF on the photo details page.

Regarding which data is pulled: EXIF for the camera’s data, and IPTC for the photographer’s data.

EXIF is what photographers need to see the technical photo properties, such as shutter speed, aperature, ISO, file format, etc. This is written at the time of the photo from the camera directly to the photo.

IPTC is written by the photographer post production to help users “find” their photo and understand what the file contains.

I am strongly encouraging the change to use EXIF instead of IPTC. Especially for digital files, EXIF is superior since it’s more than just “metadata” about the photo.

I do not see EXIF on the photo details page.

That’s because that particular checkbox/feature only deals with the IPTC data.

For EXIF data the plugin uses the data extracted by wordpress when the image was uploaded. For example, if you have exif parameters such as title, caption, image description, the photo seller will use those when displaying the image in its various forms such as photo details page or in the html code for the image thumbs.

The aperture/shutter speed etc data is there in the DB but is currently not being used by the plugin.

Hello Peter,

Have you a roadmap for view those meta-information on our galleries with the WP Photo Seller Plugin ?

[admin]

We will need feedback in terms of how those info could be helpful to show in the details page.
