posting a pic and embedding the exif from smugmug

Andy · January 27, 2005

if you want to see the exif for this image, simply click on it...

and here's the commands that you need (i've put * in front of the commands so you can see how the commands look. for real-life application, you must not put an asterisk

)

[*url=http://www.moonriverphotography.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=22552492&ImageKey=mRpME*] [*img]http://www.moonriverphotography.com/photos/22552492-S.jpg[*/img] [*/url]

the first part, after the url command, is the link to your exif data.

you must have "photo details" enabled (in customize gallery setup) for the gallery.. then simply click on "exif" (underneath your photo)

and you see the link popup with your exif. on the top of this exif window, there's a hyperlink for "Photograph Details" ... simply right click on that,
select copy to your clipboard, or "copy link" and then paste into the message window.

that's all there is to it

Great info, Andy. Thanks. Just what I wanted.

very cool, smugmug development team! <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/bowdown.gif" border="0" alt="" > <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/bowdown.gif" border="0" alt="" > <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/bowdown.gif" border="0" alt="" >

Note that those commands are specific only to vBulletin-based forums, like dgrin. If you want to do the same thing at dpreview, on your own website, or anything else, you'll have to discover the equivalent commands.

If they support HTML, it's very easy:

<a href="http://www.moonriverphotography.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=11909504">
<img src="http://www.moonriverphotography.com/photos/11909504-S.jpg" border=0 /></a>

If not, you'll have to figure out what their specific software wants, but the important bits are:

Image: http://www.moonriverphotography.com/photos/11909504-S.jpg
EXIF: http://www.moonriverphotography.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=11909504

(don't get me started on why the vBulletin people and everyone else had to re-invent the wheel and come up with a hundred different ways of doing the same thing that HTML already does. Duh).

sadly, phil over a dpreview has blocked any and all html from his message forum softwawre. so you must do it via plain links as in your example 2.

thanks don!

Thanks for this tip. I was wondering how this could be done and your method works well.

Thanks, Andy. That looks more like something I can get a handle on, I hope.

I see 'camera info' but not 'photo details' in 'customize gallery' and I sure don't have an 'exif' link under any of my photos

It should appear as More details: exif. It will not appear if the pic you uploaded does not contain EXIF data. If you are using Photoshop, remember that Save for Web strips out EXIF data. You can get around this by simply doing a normal Save and setting the JPG quality to whatever you were using in Save for Web. Hope this helps.

I never use 'save for web' and the info is all there when I open the photo in PS

Camera Info is what it says now - apologies for the confusion! Turn it "on" in gallery settings>customize gallery

And if you've used "save as" and not "save for web" you'll have camera info available underneath your photo

I have 'camera info' ticked 'yes' but I don't actually see the camera info at all in any of my galleries whether it is clicked yes or no, makes no difference

Loren,

Could you please describe your workflow in post? Software, and exactly the steps you are using to save your files. I just loaded into a private gallery on your site, a small file with exif intact.. you can see the exif button

Let's get to the bottom of this...

Yes I see your test gallery and it is the only place where there is camera info.

I shoot RAW, make some adjustments in PS RAW mode before taking into regular PS window making any final adustments, then 'save as' jpeg.

If I take that jpeg and look at the file info in PS, its all there.

I apreciate the help greatly

You're doing something in your post processing that's changing the exif. I don't know what it is... In your sky gallery

http://lorenwiebe.smugmug.com/gallery/899356/3/33534209

the last shot shows the exif in your gallery fine. The penultimate shot, does not. Very strange. Please be very specific when describing your steps - *exactly* what commands, menus, boxes, etc are you choosing

Well, I didn't shoot in RAW when I took that photo, would something happen to the data in the conversion process?

I just went through several galleries and this seems to play out. Photos that I shot in RAW and converted to jpeg don't show exif and photos that I shot in jpeg do. What I cant figure out is the file info is there if I look at them in PS.

What's your *exact* raw conversion process - steps?

When you open a RAW file in PS it opens in a seperate window, when you finish making any adjustments you want, you click 'ok' and it moves it into the normal PS window where you can do further adjustments if needed, then I 'save as' a jpeg. Not sure what else to tell you, PS basically does it for me.

Welcome,

Coookie!

You can also directly embed:

copy the url from pbase, put the .jpg at the end, and sandwich it inbetween and

commands.

There's an automated way to do it, with the forum editing software, you can read about that by clicking the link in my sig.

lets try another , but im loading from my Pc , data should be imbedded, so someone will have to tell me If they can pull it off the photos. I dont have a gallery here. I have a pbase site that shows the exif automatically , should I also post it there and put a link to the photo and exif?

Maybe try the Firefox BBCode extension

OK, so maybe I'm a complete idiot...
I got as far as "copy link"

that's all there is to it

which window do I paste the link into?

Does Firefox have a problem with this? I click on your Demo pic and some of the others in this thread and get nothing.

Nope. Check your FF setting, stormdancing. Clear cache and cookies, sometimes works. Extentions, if you are running any, can b0rk things, too sometimes
