Layout Change After 2017.9.4

[kiwilink]

Hi Mario!

Thanks for the great update.  My earlier problem with the GMT date was fixed with this update.  However, I noticed that I am seeing something different in one of my layouts and I can't figure it out so I have attached a sample.   If you look at my attachment you will see that some of my JPEGs are showing different footers.   What I used to see I labeled 'Before" and after the update I am seeing "After".

I'm not sure why these JPEG's show the additional footers.  I use these footers for scanned images and media.

Do you have any idea why DSC_7134.jpg shows the additional footer information?  I hit CTRL/SHFT F5 just in case to update the cache and see if this would make it look like the others but it had no affect. 

This is a minor issue obviously but I'm trying to understand why the JPEG's look different using the same Layout.

Thanks Mario!!

What should be there?
You have in the footer 2 right:
{File.MD.Exif::Main\282\XResolution\0}; {File.MD.Exif::Main\283\YResolution\0}

and in the footer 3 right this:
{File.MD.JFIF::Main\3\XResolution\0};{File.MD.JFIF::Main\5\YResolution\0}

and in the footer 4 left this:
{File.MD.JFIF::Main\3\XResolution\0};{File.MD.JFIF::Main\5\YResolution\0};

What want you to there and how written?
It seems to be the resolution, should it be like
300;300 or
300x300 or how?

Sinus:

Thanks for the reply.  The data is correct.  I'm trying to understand why now some of my Jpegs are showing Footer 3 and Footer 4 and others are not.  The pictures were shot with the same camera.  Here is another example. 

Thanks for the reply!

Hm, I see.
So the problem seems not to be the Windows Layout, but the jpgs!?
These jpgs, what shows the additional footers, has this entries, what the others not have:

{File.MD.JFIF::Main\3\XResolution\0};{File.MD.JFIF::Main\5\YResolution\0}
{File.MD.JFIF::Main\3\XResolution\0};{File.MD.JFIF::Main\5\YResolution\0};

I do not know, what this tags are, the other, the second footer has the exif-resolutions and they are ok, it seems.
You wrote, they are scanned images, and hence this can be there, that some images geht this tag, others not.

Maybe you look at the different pictures with the Exif Tool Comander from IMatch? There you could see, what tags are not the same.
And then check, if you scanned these pictures somehow different.

Curious, but I do not know a lot about scanning.

I looked at the Metadata of the attached pictures and I noticed that the XMP TIFF of the pictures showing the additional Footer information say "Microsoft Windows Gallery".  I'm not sure what this means but I don't recall modifying these images.

Thanks Sinus for looking at these.

Sounds like the Microsoft Photo Gallery has modified the metadata in your files.
Always be careful when you let some half-assed Microsoft DAM/Image software touch your files.

Mario:

It appears that I must have rotated some of my JPEGs using Windows before I went to IMATCH many years ago and this looks like the issue.

You have added multiple footers, and some of these will only display if the corresponding data is available. Nothing unusual.

I depends now, what you want to do.
It seems, that the resolution is always the same and the rotated images shows simply 3 times the same resolution.
If you must not have them, you could simply delete footers 3 and 4.

A metadata template which sets all resolution settings to 300 is my preferred answer to this problem.
I run this on foreign files which have the resolution set to the default 72.

The resolution tags are meant to allow the creating device or software to record the intended or actual resolution of the file. To give a processing application a hint about what 600 pixels in the file may actually mean... 1 inch? 2 inches? 4 inches?

Most software ignores whatever is set, whether it is 72 DPI (the default), 96 or whatever. It is interesting if you scan documents or objects. In these cases the resolution recorded by the scanner can be used to display the physical dimensions of the scanned object.

IMatch utilizes this when you display file dimensions in cm or inches. See the corresponding setting in Edit > Preferences  > File Window.
