EXIF / IPTC problems with identify.exe

[zikarl]

Hi,
in version 6.2.6-5 (Windows) the extraction of EXIF- and IPTC fields works as expected,
e.g:
identify -format "%[EXIF:make]" xyz.jpg ('EXIF' can be written in lower- or upper case]
identify -format "%[IPTC:2:120]" xyz.jpg ('IPTC' works only in upper case)

but after upgrade to 6.3.3-1 something has changed (same file as above):

EXIF works only in lower case: identify -format "%[exif:make]" xyz.jpg
IPTC extraction return no results - neither when written in upper nor in lower case !

Best regards, Karl

We tried

• identify -format "%[EXIF:make]" amsterdam.jpg

with ImageMagick 6.3.3.1 under Windows and it worked fine (returns Olympus). For IPTC, post a URL to your image so we can reproduce the problem (IPTC works for us).

Hi,
please see the 3 Photos on this Link: picasaweb.google.at/zbumsti.

Shot with a KonicaMinolta A2, size reduced by ACDSee to 800x600

They 3 Photos contains: EXIF Data only, EXIF+IPTC created by Adobe Bridge and EXIF+IPTC created by Microsoft PhotoInfo.

The EXIF data(EXIF:make), the title (= object name, IPTC:2:05) and description (= caption, IPTC:2:05) can be displayed correctly with: Adobe Bridge, and Photoshop, ACDSee, XnView, Microsoft PhotoInfo and ExifUtils.....

But only ImageMagick's Identify V6.2.6 show the IPTC data, not V6.3.1 and the last Version 6.3.3 !

Normally I use a german Windows XP, but to avoid any confusion I installed a new plain englisch XP + SP2 on a test-system. No additional programs or drivers were installed, only ImageMagick - problems still there.

Best regards, Karl

When we download your images, they are only about 14000 bytes long and do not appear to have either a EXIF or IPTC profile.

Hi,
don't use the internal function of the IE for download, instead click on the picture-preview and use the link on the right side panel, possible in german language, its called 'Foto herunterladen' (Download Photo).

We can reproduce the problem you posted and will have a fix in ImageMagick 6.3.3-2 Beta within a day or two. Thanks.
