Hi there,

Just recently download pixelpost and I was wondering where I go to enter in the EXIF data? I even tried to download the IPTC addon. I put it in the addon directory and it says its on, but I have no clue where I enter in the data, is there a step I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

please read the pixelpost-tags.txt in doc folder, and insert the tag you want.
and the exif data is created by your camera. but you can change it with certain software which I think it useless.

The first two images I posted on my site (http://gabrielloeb.com) worked fine in terms of exif data, but for the most recent (Bleeding Hearts) it did not show up. Is there any reason this discrepancy would exist between two files created on the same camera, uploaded in the same file format?

Sorry to comandeer this but I didn't think it deserved a new thread.

the 3 images had been modified by photoshop, and somehow the exif data of "Bleeding Hearts" was cleared.

Right but all of them were edited with photoshop, how can I fix this?

The only difference I see between this image and the other images on my blog are that this one was taken in RAW form (.NEF).

how did you import your raw files? i find that some programs don't grab the exif data for my nef files.

you'd probably do better to use adobe bridge or some program such as captureone for raw importing. i think exif details are stored in separate hidden files or something for .nef which photoshop probably misses out on if you literally open them up from your camera like that.

Ended up calling Adobe, they say they don't support 7.0.1 blah blah blah buy CS2 for 169$ blah blah. So I guess no RAW images for a while, but I'll get CS2 eventually and post em up.

I've tried importing from Picture Project (software that came with the camera) and it still doesn't save the EXIF data. Also, any image worth putting on the photoblog I save as a psd then as a max quality jpg for the web.

The way you are saving it could be causing the EXIF data to be stripped. I've noticed that in Photoshop CS, if I do a "ctrl-alt-shift-s" (which is to open the save for web window) that process strips all excess data from the image, including obviously the EXIF info. For images that I post on my site, I only use "save as" never 'save for web" for this very reason.
