Barry Beckham Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 When making videos on Photographic topics, one of the most time consuming things to do is display exposure information with an image. Iso, shutter, aperture etc. I would go further and say lens focal length as well is important. I know that for many subjects viewers like to see these settings used, but if there is a way to add them in an auto or semi auto way, I’ve not found it. I use PTE and Camtasia and to add this information is necessary, but tedious in both software. Is this something that is possible to be added in the text template? A template where the user can define what is displayed from the meta data, or am I asking the impossible or the impractical? To add this info the same as we do with the text templates in the O&A screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Beckham Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I copied my text from a word document, so it may have some formatting. Is this better?

Tonton Bruno Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 In my opinion, these parameters are relevant only if the photo is not cropped. I made a script under Photoshop to obtain automatically this presentation, and I can share it with the community, if people ask for it.

Barry Beckham Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 That doesn’t look bad at all, but I’m not sure what you mean by “made a script” How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonton Bruno Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 A Photoshop script written in Javascript for Photoshop language, and Launched by a Photoshop Action. I have to send the script and the action subset, then to describe how to implement them in your Photoshop copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom95521 Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Maybe something like https://exiftool.org/ to add the metadata you want to display to EXIF Info text template? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Thanks, but that’s not really what I have in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonton Bruno Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 To use my script, you have just to copy 3 files on the right directories and then run the Action on any photo under Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
