Picture inforamtion

Is there anyway of finding information and/or name of a picture on a page in Xara Pro 16?
Peter

Not quite sure what you are asking Peter. Can you give us an example and more details what you are looking for?

Peter, Enhamce Photos > EXIF.
Click the dropdown icon and fill your boots.

Bitmap Gallery > Select image: details are listed there.

Select image; details on the Status line.

Gary I realised after posting what I was asking for is not possible.

Thanks Acorn though not sure I understand.

Peter, Enhance Photos > EXIF.

Peter

EXIF in the Photo Tool fly-out gives information on photos if there are first generation and not copied from some other source.

So in my posted attachment you can see that this photo was taken with my iPhone. It also shows the date and other pertinent information.

Thanks Gary

@Peter - so what were you looking for?

P.s. In Gary's image, the drop-down I referred to is just to the right of the JPG filename.

This thread may have gone off the boil.... But, I would like to be able to edit photos, remove blemishes, nadirs etc and then save them with the exif info intact, including geolocation details. This would certainly help in creating interactive virtual reality visits.

Any ideas ?

Stay safe

I think if you make the edits but do not Flatten Photo Group the EXIF information remains intact. Best way to be sure is make some edits on a test image then check the EXIF info.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately this doesn't appear to work....

Everything from the camera is scrubbed and the only details in the exif are Size, Date and storage location :-(

I just checked this out and it would appear that Xara simply doesn't import the GPS exif information, so it can't possibly export it !

You can "manipulate" a photo within Xara and Flatten and mostly retain the EXIF data, but, there will always be exceptions.
Try Clipviewing two overlapping images. Which one wins?

The simplest would be to retain the original, manipulate it in Xara then Export Image.
In MS Windows, you can right-click > Properties >Details and edit in or out the EXIF data.

If just checking, I use the Vivaldi browser and right-click on an image and pick Image Properties.
For fuller detail just then select Copy data to Clipboard to view everything.
Try with http://www.opanda.com/en/pe/images/sample_001.jpg, the image in http://www.opanda.com/en/pe/sample.htm.

For lots of work, you need something like the paid-for Opanda's PowerExif, http://www.opanda.com/en/pe/index.html.
The free viewer is IExif, http://www.opanda.com/en/download/IExif_2.3_en.exe. Be careful if you go through the site as it has a minefield of rubbish Download links for badly advertised rubbish - worse than Magix.
other EXIF editors are available. If you find one for PortableApps, let me know.

It might depend on the kinds of edits made.

I used a photo taken with a Canon DSLR and used the Photo Tool > Photo Heal Tool to remove a gondola and the top of the third balloon and the EXIF info is still there.

But as soon as I flatten the photo, the EXIF information is wiped.

I also used the Photo Tool > Select Colors to Enhance and the EXIF info disappeared.

I used the FX > Color > Color Balance and the info remained. Same with FX Polarized filter. And several other effects and as long as I did not flatten the image the EXIF info remained.

By using "Photo Tool > Perspective Correction" the EXIF is removed as well.

Wish Granted.
The latest incarnation XD17 leaves the exif and geolocation info intact.
Bravo Xara !
