<EXIF_LENS> ?

[z0nic]

Hi,

I've searched the forums, but none were able to tell me how I'm able to show what lense I used in the spesific image.

Any other EXIF is showing perfectly.

I'm using PP ver 1.5 and the extra_exif - ver 1.1

My photoblog is located here: http://komplisert.net/iblog/

Please advice!

if you read the forum, you would have found that exif informations from different cameras vary
that not all cameras support every paramete
so if you do not tell us which camera you use nobody can give any further info or help

I'm currently using a Canon Digital EOS 350D / Rebel XT.

As far as I am aware the EXIF data cannot tell you the lens - only the focal length.

Happy to be proven wrong though...!

Photoshop can tell the lens used with every picture, so in my opinion so should Pixelpost

sorry to tell you another thing which you might have read already:

Pixelpost is using a standard library for that and so you should claim there
another hint: check for addons
if I remember well, there is an addon with extended EXIF information
but you can find that yourself

and please remember: we must nothing and we should nothing... ;=)

I am using the extended EXIF, but it doesn't give me what I want...
Well, I'm having a week vacation now, so with the right ammount of caffeine, I may cook together my very own addon-thingy....

Thanks for the help so far.... I'll hollar if there's anything else you can help me with.

Have a nice one..!

If you find correct place in EXIF with this data then please post info about it to me - Ill add it into the official version of PP.

It appears that the following info is removed when saving to a JPEG:
contrast, saturation, sharpening, lens, white balance, flash mode

When using the original RAW file, the info is there.

Bad JPEG! :P

I've gone through some of my own pictures, and it appears to be correct

So I guess we're screwed when it comes to reading that info from the JPEG.


So, what I need to do now is to manually edit the pixelpost files to give me some kind of drop down menu where I can add the spesific lense when I upload the files, or something like that.

Any ideas for that? I believe I have to make pixelpost write additional info into the MySQL database...? Or is it a simpler way to pull this off?

at least it should be an Admin Addon
and I am sure you will need to store this info in table, so you might extend one table or add another table for that
