Trouble with uploading and exif data

drdane

I just uploaded a new shot for the LPS 9 round, but it is not showing date taken, just the date modified. I am travelling, and using my laptop (not my usual machine) - both are pc's (Dell) running XP, though the laptop only has the IE browser, and Photoshop CS, whereas the usual one has FF and CS3.

Photoshop File Info shows all the exif data, including date/time of original, in the file I uploaded (via IE option). I was going to upload it again, using the drag & drop, but after the java program installed, it killed IE, and I had to reopen it - tried to upload twice after that but each time I go to add photos, it kills IE.

I'm heading for Mt Rainier in the late morning, so this is the last shot I have to get this entered in LPS.

If there is a quick fix to get the date taken to show in the exif I already uploaded, that would be the easiest, but I'd also like to get the uploading thing solved.

As an aside, I've been having login problems as well. I have to log in twice with the laptop, and the desktop won't work at all. That will have to wait a week or so, til I get home.

The photo I'm referring to here is:

Hi Dane,

Dunno what you did when saving the file, but I opened it in PS, saved it again, and then replaced the photo on your site. The exif is fine now:

Thanks for trying, Andy, but that link is for a different photo in the same gallery. The one I need the exif for is here:

It still only shows the date modified, which I presume is not adequate for entry in LPS. I'm trying to get it to show date taken.

If I try to upload again, IE is killed (closes immediately) when I click on add photos. This began happening after downloading the drag & drop java program last night. I think something in it did not agree with my computer, as now I can't upload anything!

Any help would be appreciated - it seems like a job for a geek - I'd like to delete it (the java thing) if someone can tell me where to find it.

Thanks

Andy

That's fine, but in the post above you linked this image, and this is the one I spent my time on this morning:

I opened the original in PS. I used Save As and then uploaded it to your gallery - same as you would upload it.

The exif is fine, it's here:

Thanks, Andy!

Got it posted in LPS. I don't understand why all this wierdness is going on, but the other issues will have to wait til I get back home. "The mountain" is calling . . .

BTW, my sincere apologies for giving you the incorrect link earlier - you guys have enough to deal with without that - double Duh!
