Sharing images on another site

Arkayem

I know how to click the Share button and get a Link to paste into another site.

However, this always strips all the Exif data that was uploaded with the original. Is there any way to share the Original image that still has all the Exif data?

Thanks,

Russ

One way to do it:

• On your PC, resize your image to the exact size you want to link to on this other web site.
• Upload that resized image with EXIF to a Smugmug gallery that allows access to originals (you can make it an unlisted gallery, external linking enabled, access to originals allowed)
• Link to the original sized image that you uploaded

This works because the EXIF info is retained in the original sized image, just not the smaller web-sizes that Smugmug generates automatically. So if you do the resizing first and upload that as your original, when you link to it, it will have EXIF data in it.

I understand what you have written, but the original is not one of the options when you click Share. Is there another way to find the proper link to the original?

The only difference in the link for different sizes is at the very end of the URL. You will see -L for the Large size, -O for the original size, etc...

Just take any of the links and put -O at the end instead of the other size designation.

So, if you see http://jfriend.smugmug.com/photos/362007800_iK9gi-L.jpg in the share dialog, you can just change it to http://jfriend.smugmug.com/photos/362007800_iK9gi-O.jpg to get the link to the original sized version.

Got it!

You can give link to the Exif
http://awais.smugmug.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=244682676&ImageKey=Estcp

Replace image Id and Image Key that are underlined and bold

Or Replace M-2 with O for orignal file you uploaded
