Paul Barrett Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Has anyone ever seem anything like this? More exiftool work to fix it but just wondered if anyone had ideas about what could cause it. I have done NO editing of data in this area of the library but I have done a few read and write tag actions. Thanks - Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 hello Paul, Did you write this lens info to files manually via exiftool? Did you already fixed it by all files? If not, please send one or two of them. Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Barrett Posted November 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi Daria No, I have done no editing at all either before or since i found the problem. I will email you some files. On looking at another part of the metadata I found something else that is very odd. This refers to a jpeg image right? And it has dimensions of: 2448x3264x24 How about that? A truly 3D image!

Daria Kotilainen Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi Daria No, I have done no editing at all either before or since i found the problem. I will email you some files. Hello Paul, thank you for the files, I imported them into my catalog and got the same structure under the Lens tag as expected. The thing is, Lens is a read-only tag in Daminion which means Daminion cannot make any changes to this tag. It just reads info from the file's metadata and displays as it is. In the file's metadata (and in the properties panel under the General tab) you can find the info about the software used for editing this file. In your case it's Adobe Elements Organizer 11.0. So this odd lens info might have been written when opening and saving images in Elements Organizer. Or directly when shooting. Another odd thing is that these tag values were imported as unapproved to your catalog whereas as approved in mine (the option "Mark imported tags as unapproved" is checked, other tag values assigned to your pics are shown as unapproved) Can you please create a new empty test catalog and import these 36 files there? Just to see if lens tag values are imported as unapproved again. On looking at another part of the metadata I found something else that is very odd. This refers to a jpeg image right? And it has dimensions of: 2448x3264x24 How about that? A truly 3D image! x24 is a color depth.:) regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Barrett Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi Daria, OK, so I did as requested and created a new catalogue and imported the 36 images. They were shown as approved regardless of how the preference was set. PE11 could well be the culprit. Although, 12,500 images in the catalogue were also managed by PE11 once so why just these few? - Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I have a similar problem - much much worse than yours. It seems to happen to images from (mostly) Android tablets and mobile phones. I suspect these devices do not properly comply with the EXIF standards.

TheDocAUS2 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Daria Here is the lens data from Daminion. I need permission to send files, as I do not own them. I will ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 So this odd lens info might have been written when opening and saving images in Elements Organizer. Or directly when shooting. Hello, I have the same problem with EXIF lens metadata written by Apple software and photos taken by an iPhone. The software tag is: 9.1 It's not a problem that can be solved by Daminion. I suggest to write the correct metadata by the ExifTool manually. Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
