valo_soul Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>Hello Folks,</p> <p> I switched from PC to Mac about a year ago, and I've just noticed that Lightroom no longer seems to export my copyright info in my files. While using PC, if I right clicked a file to see more info, it would also show "Copyright James Jeremiah Cripps", and then my website, etc. On my iMac, with all the same settings being used in Lightroom, I can't see it anywhere. It's acting as though it's going to export the photo with the copyright info in tact, but when right clicking and then clicking "Get Info", there is absolutely nothing showing my name or website.</p> <p> What am I missing?</p> <p>Thank you in advance!<br> James</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>Library, Edit Metadata Presets. In Edit Metadata presets dialog; do you see a saved metadata preset created with your Copyright? </p> Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valo_soul Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>Hi Andrew,</p> <p> Yes I do see one. It just doesn't seem to be using it when I export. I chose it from the metadata presets list, then exported the file with the option "copyright and contact info only", as I don't want everyone to see my camera settings. Nothing there when I look for it.... I just see that it's a JPG, the size of the file, the dimensions, the color space, etc. No mention of my name.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>You probably should also test "<em>All Metadata"</em> for the export. But yes, using just your settings <em>should</em> only export what you asked for. What are you using to view the metadata? <br> I just did an export with your settings and I see my contact and copyright info but NOT camera info when I examine the metadata in Photoshop using File Info. </p> Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valo_soul Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>Thank you, Andrew. When I use your method to examine it, I do see some of the information! When using the MacOS to simply "Get Info", it isn't shown. Apparently this is just a shortcoming of the interface. My apologies.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin_mattson1 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>Correct—Finder's "Get Info" shows very limited EXIF data, but Preview's (the default program to actually view images) "Get Info" will show your copyright info. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave410 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 <p>Sorry to be off subject, but how was the switch from Windows to Mac? Any regrets?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
