Editing Metadata (EXIF)#3

Early testers have asked for more control over the metadata that’s displayed below their posted photo. Currently this is just read from the EXIF data that’s embedded in the image file that’s uploaded to Glass.

+1, adding a film stock field would be awesome as well!

It would be great to also be able to review what Glass sees form EXIF before we post. For me at least the compose screen was empty and asking only for my description. It would allow to make sure I dont share personal locations among other things (I figured it would make sense as part of this feedback but I can submit a separate feedback if preferred).

Agreed on all of this, especially viewing what will be shared as a default, at least.

I think editing or at the very least being able to remove the location is a must - people might be giving away more than they initially intended.

+1 for control over location information.

Yeah, I’m a film photographer, my exif data is useless and it vary from whatever sourse I choose to digitalize them. I could setup my process to add whatever exif data I want, but that makes no sense to my work flow.

To me hiding the date of capture is something I’d like to see

+1, I mostly post film scans and it’s awkward having my a6000 + macro lens show up in the data by accident

This would be tremendously valuable! I do a lot of film photography and have to manually append the exif data and then hope the mapping is right.

Checking on the status of this. It was marked ‘planned’ four years ago.

What s.m.drew said above. This would be such a great feature

I would love it if each photograph posted included the camera data as well as an approximate location, especially the country and town. Also, if the subject is an animal and the type is known, a name would also be helpful. I would also love it if the photographer put their location in their profile.

There are many analog photos out there, waiting to be scanned and puiblished. Having the possibility to set camera and lens from predefined lists of values would make the difference from competitors. Also changing shooting date would be useful, possibly allowing “circa dates”, e.g. specifyingonly the year or a range.

Now setting EXIF metadata implies using a plug-in in Lightroom before uploading to Glass. No possibility of corrections after that, unless deleting the image.
