metadata

I am a dedicated user of iCloud photo library. This past year, since shared library was launched, I have gone back through my library to clean everything up and share it with my family. This has included adding location info and updating date/time data for photos from other sources. I am now...

When I'm looking at photos the ones received via Messenger have "From $SendersName" in the top center of the pic. I don't CARE who sent them to me, and I wish to be able to just look at the photos as they are without the notation. Is there a way to remove the "From" tag? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, This is about the automatically generated keywords by the Photos AI (e.g. dog, beach, food, car, etc.) not the manually added keywords. When I search for those keywords I get different results on my iMac than I do on my iPhone, even though iCloud for photos is turned on on both...

So I have found a great app (listed on tips below) that will find and will change my metadata if it is actually the correct date. I always double check. And of course I refused for many years to switch from film to digital cameras 💁‍♀️(anyone else out there?📷) till about 2004 or 2005. So...

If I transfer photos taken and edited with my iPhone to a folder on an external hard drive, are the edits baked into the images, or do I need the Photos app to view the edits? Thinking about backing my photos up outside of the Photos app, but I want to back up the original, non-edited versions.

Hi all I currently keep all my photos (~13k) on a Synology NAS in a folder structure based on dates. I don't edit them in any way but I do want to make it easier to find specific photos. I'm looking for an app that allows me to add tags to photos that: a) will be embedded into the photos; b)...

I would like to find files by meta tags(IPTC keywords) as I do on macOS’s Finder.

For a vast number of reasons I cannot get into, over the past month, I have been convinced that someone installed a key logger and other spyware on my Macboook Pro, running Big Sur. Today, I upgraded to macOS v. 11.2.3, and when I logged back in, I discovered a 'recovered files' folder in my...

So I first noticed this on my iPhone but I've now pinpointed it down to what seems like the metadata in the mp3's themselves. If I'm playing a song, once it gets to the end it hangs at "0:00 remaining" and then jumps back several seconds (sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds), replays that last...

I realised today that my metadata template in Lightroom has an error. As a result all of my images need updating. Rather than open every image in Photoshop or re-export thousands of jpegs in different sizes from Lightroom, is there an app for the Mac that can do this in mass for a large number...

If I tether my iPhone to my laptop and just do a straight "import" of a load of photos to a folder on my laptop, will metadata and the "Live" function copy with the photos?

From time to time on these forums I've seen threads where people have been driven absolutely off the cliff by some pecadillo following an OS update. I've previously ignored that stuff or laughed it off. "You were upset because iTunes Match replaced all your rare cuts with generic commercial...

Briefly, very specific question: Mac Photos App: Can select 1 or more photos and from the top menu, can edit the Location, Time Stamp, Date, Time Zone etc., so-called MetaData. IPad Photos App: Can’t find how/where to do this? Is there support for metadata changes to photo(s) on PHOTOS...

I do concert photography and work for a local concert review website and was looking for a website that will resize images to certain size (on the longest side) and/or watermark my photos but also retain the photo metadata. I don't have Lightroom and I am too cheap (and broke) to buy it so I was...

Quicklook and Spotlight plug-ins for metadata viewing worked prior to 10.15. These were very useful for showing publication information details (year, description, etc.). For some reason they no longer work. Maybe all third-party plug-ins for Quicklook and Spotlight are disabled now by the OS...

I have many iPhoto libraries and I am trying to export them all to Photos so that I have a Photos library (System Photo Library) containing all the photographs I have. I want to preserve how the they are exactly on iPhoto, the original date, time, edits, icon positioning in the gallery view...

i want to send a few songs two a friend from a forum, but would prefer he not know my mac username, which is visible, for me at least, in itunes if you click on the song, go to file and see location. my mac username is also visible when you click for more info about the file just in the finder...

Does anyone know a way to download iCloud Photos and keep the file creation date the same as the photo shooting date, and not the downloaded file date? When I download photos or videos from iCloud website, or use any third app to do the same (like anytrans), the downloaded file EXIF data will...

Can anyone recommend a decent metadata editor for MP4 videos for Mac? I need to add metadata information such as Movie Name, Genre, Release Date, Cast Members, Sort Name etc, as well as poster image. I understand a lot of video convertors include metadata editors built-in which is fine...

I was so excited to finally have some more metadata in the new gallery view for the Finder.... but I'm disappointed. Is this only for photos? I would love to have at least the amount of information for video which I also get through Quicktime. Compare the Info between Quicktime (CMD+I) and...
