My "Photo info" is all warped up Help!

tsk1979

For example
http://tanveer.smugmug.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=280248766&ImageKey=QagJf

Now if I look at the image exif info by downloading it to my computer(save original photo) I see it correctly

I earlier posted it as a smugmug bug, but I guess it has something to do with the exif version etc., I am using.
Here is the exif copy pasted from exif viewer

1.jpg

Any tips to fix the exif to a version readable by smugmug?

what software did you use to process the image? any chance you can make the original-unprocessed-straight-out-of-the-camera file available to me? I'd love to see if I can figure this one out as we've seen this before occasionally.

Sure Ivar, I will do that when I go home.
I use two stage process
1. Use GIMP with UFRAW plugin to generate jpg(I always shoot raw)
2. Use batch process of Faststone image viewer to add the watermark.

I suspect the second stage is the one which causes the problem. I have used UFRAW in the past and never faced any issues, but processing in faststone somehow screwed up things.

I will take UFRAW/GIMP only images and send them to you.

Bump.. Any updates?

tsk1979

Bump again... Or do I use some other software in future for image watermarking(bulk)

I think the software is messing up some things; This is a part of the info on the image linked above by you:

This is part of the info on the photo that you emailed me:

Can you email me the straight out of the camera photo from the one you linked above? Or, link me to the one processed photo that you emailed me on Smug, please. I can't be sure until I can compare the same image

Ok, I will do this.
I will take a simple RAW-jpg pic and the prcessosed version with faststone, and mail you both the images.

That would work

tsk1979

I sent you a pic, 2 copies, one with just RAW-JPG, second copy as watermarking done using faststone.

I don't have them yet, did you sent them to the same email address as where you sent the other ones?

yup, the same. I will try again today evening .

ivar

I got it

i'm off to work now, I'll look at it tonight.

The EXIF data in this case seems to be the same. Also, uploading the two images that you gave me both seem to produce the correct details on SmugMug. I uploaded them to a test gallery, here

Can you get me the original from this one? It seems to be specific to that image. Did you process it in any other way than the ones you provided me with? Do you have other images that behave this way? Or is that one the only one?

tsk1979

Ok, I will send you RAW-JPG conversion for a warped image.

tsk1979

I sent the pics via gmail Ivar, same email address

BUMP Ivar,
I was going through the EXIF.due to software, the F-stop comes out as
7100000/1000000
Instead of 7.1
both are correct.
And the date taken value is same. that is not being corrupted in the EXIF.

But in my gallery, the date taken value goes for a toss.
