p.1 #1 · Exif data not included in post for the WA


Hello,

I am getting an error that the exif data is not included with my post

Any ideas?

I will include the direct link to my WA submission here.

I have also checked with an online exif viewer and all the exif data is embedded in the image.

If I understand you correctly you are being denied posting an entry into the WA because of this "error" correct? This is a new "reason" as far as I know. Are your images hosted with FM or hosted on another server? I have concluded that if you are not paying to host your images with FM, you are not allowed to play in the WA and/or MA sandboxes. My denial used to state that my image could not be downloaded. This went on for several months before I just gave up trying.

Good luck!

Larry,

I have always embedded my entries from my zenfolio site with out fail. This is the first time I have had this issue when posting. I think it is something on the server side when the it checks for the EXIF.

Larry and Tom.
Tom, I tried to help Larry on numerous occasions with his problem. I was able to post his entry without an issue. YES I have U&S.

I am not sure Fred is denying members the ability to post just because you are not a subscriber. Could be wrong in my assumption but I don't feel that way.

I will drop Fred a "note" on everyone's behalf about this. Including my behalf.
If I can help, just PM me.

Hi Thomas,
Yes, that image has the EXIF stripped.

You can go to this site: https://onlineexifviewer.com/

And drag that image there and see there is zero EXIF. The code needs the EXIF to confirm the picture was taken during that week. If you have the original try saving it preserving the EXIF info.

If you use Photoshop:

• File > Save
• File > Save As (as JPEG with "Include Metadata" checked)

My images include EXIF data. I've been told by others that they do as well.
I just tested my last posted image (the lighter image in Macro/Still life) by running it through the website Fred suggested above. The info is there. More info than I'd like actually.
Thanks for trying though.

Ok Larry. I have been working with Tom and it does appear that how you "Save" the image, in his instance, may be the problem.
Tom PM'd me the image> I right clicked on it and "Saved"..Went to
WA" > Post..IT FAILED NO EXIF!

I went back to the image in Ps re"Saved It"(FYI Jpeg was thee ONLY option available other than PNG....)
IT POSTED FINE..

Check The R&R for "Submitting" an entry. Subscription IS required via 2 ways.

I apologize for saying one did NOT have to subscribe to "U&S or other" to enter.
