Oh … I’m sorry. I just re-read your post and you already mentioned that the update fixed the missing EXIF problem only partially. Apologies.

Unfortunately the 2.1.3 update did not fix the problem. :-( Indeed, they’ve added a number of EXIF fields, but lots are still missing.

Check out Frog’s blog post:

He did an in-depth analysis of the problem. And I can only agree and confirm his observations. My JPGs lack lens data too. It’s a shame since I’d love to check on some of my older pictures which lens I used for them.

Kent, this is the workflow I’m using:

which is similar to what you described in 1)

Can I ask how you got the GPS information into your master file? Was it geotagged prior to loading your images into the Aperture library? I am finding that my exported versions still do not retain the GPS coordinates from Aperture if I am using a plug-in within Aperture (i.e. Maperture) to add the GPS information. It only seems to work if I do one of the following:

1) Apply GPS information to the images prior to importing them to the Aperture library, using a standalone program such as GPSPhotoLinker.

2) Import the masters into Aperture, use a geotagging plug-in (in my case Maperture), export the Masters out of Aperture, delete the project from Aperture, and finally re-import the masters in Aperture. Obviously this is a tedious process, so I am currently using method #1.

Do you have the same issues? If not, how are you getting around the problem I have described above?

Thanks,
Kent
