#304770 - 05/12/2007 05:01 Syncing photos to ipod- Is there a better way?
tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31604 Loc: Seattle, WA	I have an iPod Touch because I wanted a web browser in my pocket. Still not syncing my music collection to it (no point), but I have played with its music features and there are about 10 tunes on there just for experimental purposes. Anyway... I'm playing with the photo features in iTunes and OMG DO THEY EVER SUCK. Problem is, I don't have the photos on my hard disk arranged in such a way that I can sync just one tree-level of folders to the thing. I have a complex hierarchy of folders and I would want to drag only specific folders to the thing, and those would be from multiple higher-level root trees. But it only lets me select a single layer of sub folders from a single main root tree. And if I go choosing a different main root folder to grab a different layer of sub-folders, it erases the photos from the prior main folder. In other words, if I have folder structure of c:\BAR\pics1 c:\BAR\pics2 and I put those on the iPod, okay that's fine. Until I want to put c:\FOO\pics1 and c:\FOO\pics2 on the thing, then it erases the stuff from BAR before the stuff from FOO goes on there. I only see the FOO stuff after a sync, the BAR stuff is gone. With music files, it's perfectly happy to let me just drag the MP3s directly onto the thing from anywhere, emplode-style. It refuses to let me do that with photos. Why the hell not? Anyway, is there something better out there, (edit: yes) or do I just forget the photo features on this thing too? PS: The thing seems to have interpreted the photo rotation of all my photos EXACTLY WRONG. Portrait-rotated photos come up landscape. WTF? I've seen one of these things work correctly, with the photos rotating correctly as you twist the thing through the air. Mine rotates precisely opposite. Edit: As of January 2009, All of the problems discussed in this thread have been solved by the third-party program CopyTrans Photo _________________________ Tony Fabris

drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	All I can really say here is photos on my iPhone are working fine, iTunes lets me check what iPhoto albums and events I want, they sync, and portrait pictures and landscape pictures show up in the right orientation. I have no experience with doing photo syncing any other way though. There is this article in the Apple support system describing how photo syncing works, it may help. From what I see there though, it's not going to deal with your complex hierarchy. It looks like they built support around how the camera import wizard works in XP, and 2 Adobe programs.

Why in the wide wide world of sports does it not understand the tag? And even without the tag, there's at least the aspect ratio of the image, it should at least be able to match that to the rectangular display. Right now, it displays the images with black rectangles on either side no matter what orientation I have the thing at. And I don't use iPhoto... _________________________ Tony Fabris

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31604 Loc: Seattle, WA	Quote: Can't remember if it works for photos or not but you tried double tapping on it to zoom? What ratio are your photos? My photos are the standard 4:3 ratio of the photos on all digital cameras. My problem is only with the rotation. I mis-stated the thing about always black rectangles. I meant that I can't view a portrait photo properly on the thing and it has black rectangles in portrait mode when it shouldn't. Double tapping does zoom correctly, my problem is that I am not supposed to have to double tap my portrait photos when I am holding the thing in portrait mode. By default, my portrait photos come up sideways with black bars when I am holding the thing in portrait mode. Here, I'll draw you a picture...

hybrid8 carpal tunnel Registered: 12/11/2001 Posts: 7738 Loc: Toronto, CANADA	Tony, you're positive your photos are properly tagged as portrait right? This should be in the exif - check with other programs that support the exif rotation. If a photo is not tagged, there's no way for any device to know whether it's a portrait or landscape shot (directly out of a camera). The aspect ratios are exactly the same - remember that the image itelf is still always landscape from the camera. You'd have had to do a loss-less jpeg transformation to actually make it a real portrait oriented bitmap. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

This should be in the exif - check with other programs that support the exif rotation. Yes, the portrait photos open up correctly verticalized when I double click on them in Windows. The application I'm currently associating with JPG is "irfanview" and it's just reading the exif data from the photos and opening them just like any other application should. The photos are the unedited original files, dragged directly off the camera's memory card. The camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9. _________________________ Tony Fabris

I have always had JPGs associated with a third party viewer. Either irfanview or ACDsee. I know about that Windows Picture Viewer thing and I make sure never to use it. In fact, any JPGs that I'd done any file editing upon at all... those come up fine on the ipod. The problem happens only with the ones that haven't been touched, the ones that are unmodified from when I copied them from the camera's memory card. Not only that, I copied them just as straight files, not via a camera-wizard app. _________________________ Tony Fabris

If not then the exif tags coulnd't contain the information needed by the iPod. Editing them (setting orientation manually) would _add_ the orientation data. -Zeke _________________________ WWFSMD?

If not then the exif tags coulnd't contain the information needed by the iPod. Editing them (setting orientation manually) would _add_ the orientation data. -Zeke Yes, the camera DEFINITELY has an orientation sensor, and correctly EXIF tags the photos. I can see the EXIF tags in IRFANVIEW, and the orientation field says the correct things for the landscape versus the portrait photos. Every application I've got on the system that's supposed to handle the rotation of the photos automaticaly, DOES handle the rotation of the photos automatically. IRFANVIEW, Paint Shop Pro, etc., all open the photos correctly, rotating the photos to appear vertical. Please note that in all cases I have NOT saved rotated/corrected photos back to the hard disk after viewing them in these apps, and any options to do so automatically have been disabled. For instance, IRFANVIEW lets me choose whether to do lossless JPG rotation automatically, and I turned that off. If I turn off the feature in IRFANVIEW that uses the EXIF tag to display the photo vertically, and then open the photo, it's sideways, exactly as I'd expect it to be. What I'm trying to say here is: Yeah, everything is correct on my end of things. iTunes just sucks huge drippy green donkey balls, that's all. _________________________ Tony Fabris

They decided to use iPhoto, Adobe Photoshop Album, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Windows XP Camera wizard, or Image Capture on OS X, all solutions Tony isn't using. So because he is going outside the bounds of what Apple added support for, he is having problems. Why the iPod isn't reading the EXIF data I don't know, but all iTunes does is simply moves images. You don't manage anything with it.

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31604 Loc: Seattle, WA	Originally Posted By: drakino Why the iPod isn't reading the EXIF data I don't know More specifically, why *iTunes* isn't reading the EXIF data. The iPod just displays what iTunes feeds it. The argument that "iTunes isn't a photo manager" isn't valid. It is a photo manager and photo synchronization application, albeit a very simple and limited one. In fact, from what I can tell, it's the only app available for synching photos from a Windows PC to an iPod Touch. It allows you to select (in a very limited way) which photos you want to load, then it processes the photos quite extensively for the purpose of adding them to the player. It pre-creates all the necessary thumbnails and zoom sizes, for example. Anyway, whether you call it a photo manager or not, that argument doesn't matter. What does matter is: For the purpose that the photo feature in iTunes is intended (loading the user's photos onto an iPod touch which supports orientation based-rotation), then it is completely logical to expect it to interpret the EXIF data on the photos and do the right thing. _________________________ Tony Fabris

I can't use it to download pictures off my camera, I can't use it to edit pictures, I can't use it to organize pictures, and I also can't use it to even display pictures beyond album art in my music files. You are correct that iTunes is the only photo synchronization tool for Windows. And I will agree that it might seem logical to have iTunes or the iPod read EXIF rotation data, but clearly neither do, and they rely on a proper photo management solution to be used on both Mac and Windows platforms. Odds are Apple looked at the situation and saw that the Windows Camera Import program does the rotation, as do the two Adobe products on Windows that iTunes can sync from, and so the logic was never added on their side. It seems EXIF is going through the same initial implementation pains that ID3 tags did in MP3 files.

Ezekiel pooh-bah Registered: 25/08/2000 Posts: 2413 Loc: NH USA	Tony, Clearly I can't argue, I would fully expect iTunes to do the right thing and read the exif tag. So, now that you've identified that iT sucks for what you want, what's the quickie workaround? Batch process in irfan I suppose. However if you're the curious type, I would suggest the following: We can deduce that: 1) iTunes reads an exif tag for orientation (that's the only place in jpeg for this data), but it's not the tag your camera writes. 2) If it is not reading the tag it is either because a) it's reading another tag or b) the tag contents or format written by your camera aren't handled by iTunes. 3) A side by side exif comparison of an Irfan processed and unprocessed file should yield the difference. 4) If not, then go have a taco and a beer and worry about something more fun. -Zeke _________________________ WWFSMD?

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31604 Loc: Seattle, WA	My impression is that iTunes doesnt bother to read exif data at all. Yeah, batch processing everything sounds like the only solution. If someone made a third party photo uploader, maybe that would be a solution. Actually someone makes something called photopod but it doesnt support this device and its rotation feature is the opposite of what I need. Since batch processing and rearranging my collection is out of the question at the moment, I guess this thing I'd still just a web browser. _________________________ Tony Fabris

As Tom said, it assumes another piece of software got its mitts on the file first, and did the actual pixel-rotation, and therefore it does not need to interpret any exif rotational data.

The file is unaltered from the camera. I simply took the file directly off the memory card and zipped it up. It has never been opened in any application.

For the PC, it only recommends "Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later". It's possible that this free version of Album will work for you. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

My results: Original file - opened with computer monitor sideways in Irfan 3.98. Edited file - opened with computer monitor rightways round in Irfan 3.98. File information in Irfan 3.98- shows the original at 2048x1536. shows the edited copy at 1536x2048. (as does CS2) Exif data in both files was identical (See attached tab-delimited .txt file). That leaves this question: what tag does CS2 use to tell orientation that Irfanview 3.98 and iTunes ignore? -Zeke EDIT: I got Irfanview 4.1 and had the same orientation results as 3.98 (opened original in landscape, re-saved copy in portrait) Attachments tony_file_comparo.txt (301 downloads) Tony_File_Comparo.gif (283 downloads) Edited by Ezekiel (10/12/2007 17:01) Edit Reason: updated _________________________ WWFSMD?

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31604 Loc: Seattle, WA	Originally Posted By: wfaulk Interestingly, the iTouch's manual doesn't mention iTunes for photo syncing. For the PC, it only recommends "Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later". It's possible that this free version of Album will work for you. You're going to love this one. It appearead at first as though this might be my solution. If I drag my example portrait photo (the one I attached earlier in this thread) into Photoshop Album 3.2, it seems to detect the exif rotation correctly and display it correctly on the screen. Now, Album 3.2 doesn't let me synch directly to the ipod. But iTunes does detect the presence of PhotoShop Album and it says "hey, there's a photo in the Photoshop Album. Do you want to sync it?" and if I say yes, it wipes out all the other pictures on the ipod in favor of what's in my photoshop album, and synchs the correct photos from the photoshop album to the player. So far so good. But when I view the pic on the ipod, it's sideways. Just like it would have been if I'd only used itunes by itself. How about that? I used adobe's album-making software, which is specifically supported by apple for exactly this purpose, and synched based on that software, and they still got it wrong. Now you guys can't get on my case for using this thing in a way it wasn't intended. And I can now say with much more conviction that this whole thing sucks big green drippy donkey balls. _________________________ Tony Fabris

While my poke was more of a joke, doing some testing shows some interesting things. I just downloaded your attachment above, and preview opened it properly. Finder also shows the dimensions as 1536x2048. So while iTunes won't magically interpret the EXIF data, it looks like the underlying OS does. Now, if I tell iTunes to sync your photo out of a folder to my iPhone, it still shows up wrong. However, if I import that photo into iPhoto and sync it, the iPhone shows it properly oriented, and I never touched a rotate option inside iPhoto. OS X has a lot of built in photo stuff at the OS level, including RAW support for the major vendors. It doesn't surprise me too much to see EXIF rotation data handled seamlessly, but it does surprise me that the handling didn't migrate to the iPhone/iPod touch OS X.

Yes, I'd expect that. If iPhoto is interpreting the Exif data, and it also has a synch-to-iPhone option built in (instead of needing to run iTunes separately like us windows folks do), then yeah, I could see how it would be able to handle that transparently. It's too bad the "Adobe Albums" thing didn't work in terms of rotation. Because it seemed like it would solve my other problem quite nicely. It would let me drag any photos I liked into albums, while leaving the original photo files alone. Adding the extra step of running iTunes to perform the final synch wouldn't have been a big deal. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Nope. iPhoto doesn't talk to the iPhone for sending photos to the device. iTunes still does the sync to the device, it just reads the iPhoto albums list and uses some iLife API to pull everything over. My guess is that API is responsible for handing over the image rotated properly, based on the fact that iTunes even on a Mac reading photos out of a folder doesn't rotate properly.

drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	(using the tfabris post count increase method) Don't you still have a Mac around somewhere? Any particular reason you aren't using it as the iPod syncing machine? Being that you aren't using the iPod for music, it could be useful to just have a separate machine to sync to it for podcasts and such. Thats all I use my iPhone for on the media side, lots of Twit content and other podcasts, while the Karma is still my portable music player. The iTunes/iPod sync stuff for podcasts is pretty nice.

I will see if iPhoto will let me synch the photos from my desktop machine in the basement across the network. Question about using iPhoto as you suggest... If I use iPhoto on the Mini to organize albums based on photos on the network fileshare, will it insist on writing back changes to those files, or will it clutter that remote directory with database/cache files and folders? Or will it leave the original files alone and keep its dirty little database and cache to itself? _________________________ Tony Fabris

Your going to open iPhoto, drag in your folders of photos, and it's going to import them locally, into it's own directory structure and naming scheme, and create the database. The files on your desktop will not be touched, and won't even be referenced again. There is another way too if you don't want the Mini storing copies. Open iPhoto, and go to Preferences. Untick "Copy items to the iPhoto Library" under Advanced, and iPhoto will just make links to all the files on your desktop computer. If you edit a photo in iPhoto, it leaves the original alone, and saves the edited copy locally inside the library. Move a file on the remote system, and the link will break, so keep that in mind. Database and cache files are all still kept on the Mac.

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31604 Loc: Seattle, WA	Oh, you're gonna REALLY love this one. iPhoto works well for the generalized task of arranging some albums for going onto the iPod. I could drag the desired photos from my file share into iPhoto on the Mac, and they all showed up correctly, with iPhoto correctly interpreting the EXIF data and every single photo appeared in its correct orientation. As you said, it leaves the source photos and folders clean, making its own database on the mac. Great, so far so good. I'm thinking this is going to be a good solution. So I did this for several of my photo folders, a total of 345 pictures. Then went into iTunes on the Mac and hit "sync" and off it went. Cruised along, synched all the photos, then I look at the photos on the iPod and........ They are random. Only about half of the portrait photos are in proper orientation. The other half are sideways as I illustrated earlier in this thread. Hm. Perhaps it's just as I feared and it's not interpreting the EXIF data at all, and the ones that are coming up correctly are ones that I'd somehow managed to pre-process and I don't remember doing it. So I find some adjacent photos on the iPod, where some of them are in the correct orientation and the others are in the wrong orientation. And I look at the files back at the source on the PC. NONE of the photos were preprocessed. All of them are identical, all of them were untouched original source photos. The EXIF "orientation" field is the same for all of them. Just to prove it, I am attaching a ZIP file of two of the photos. On the iPod, one of these photos displays in the correct orientation, the other displays sideways. 484 displays correctly, 496 displays sideways. Note that both of the photos display correctly in iPhoto on the Mac. Also note that it's not an intermittency problem with the orientation sensor in the iPod; The photos that are wrong on the iPod are ALWAYS wrong, and the photos that are right on the iPod are ALWAYS right. I can spin and twist the iPod every which way and it does all the expected rotations of the images. It's just that the "bad" ones are always in exactly the wrong orientation, exactly as if the EXIF data had been ignored. Can anyone see a difference in the two files zipped up here that might cause them to be interpreted differently by iPhoto/iTunes?

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31604 Loc: Seattle, WA	Also: "Random" is too strong of a word. They are in clustered groups. A couple dozen correct, a couple dozen wrong, then a couple dozen correct again. (not exact counts, I'm just giving a feel for how big the clusters are.) The two that I zipped up are from the edge of a cluster. _________________________ Tony Fabris

I downloaded the zip, clicked and dragged the folder into iPhoto 08, and told iTunes to sync the new album it made of the folder. This is on Leopard as well, and iPhoto set to copy files into its own library.

How do you tell with iPhoto? I did the following: - Ran iPhoto on the Mac. - On the mac, opened the network share of \\monkeybrains\c$ (my desktop PC in the basement). - Dragged folders from the share onto iPhoto. - iPhoto now has libraries of my photos. - Closed iPhoto. - Ran iTunes on the mac and said sync photos from the iPhoto libraries. So which is that? Copy the photo or reference the photo? Quote: All this said, it does make sense to just freaking rotate the photos. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. As I just demonstrated, SOMETIMES the software gets it right. Now I want to figure out why and make it get it right all the time. There's also the whole thing about where I'm the kind of guy who likes digging away at a good bug repro to find out exactly what causes it. There's something academically fascinating about this. Why does it work for everyone else and not for me? But besides that, I don't want to batch-rotate my entire photo collection because there's some stuff in there that I don't want messed with at all. I don't want the original files touched in any way. For instance, the folders are full of scattered special sub-folders where I'm doing things like panorama stitches or stereo pairs, where an altered rotation will break it. I don't want to (and shouldn't have to) filter through all of those folders to separate out the stuff I don't want rotated. Yes, I know in the time I've messed with this I could have simply done that, but then there's the whole academic thing. _________________________ Tony Fabris

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. No argument. The problem is that once you dig through all of this, you're going to find that the problem is that the software is broken. And since it's not open-source, you're not going to be able to do anything about it, except, maybe file a bug report. But you could do that now. And then you're left with photos that still don't display properly. To which the only thing to do is either wait for Apple to fix it or rotate them yourself. If you're really inclined to pursue it, though, here's what I'd do: Find two photos, one of which works right, one of which doesn't. Verify that what happens to each photo does so consistently, even through separate uploads of the same file. Then strip the exif headers and create new, ultra-simple ones. Try again. My bet is that something in one of the exif headers is confusing the Apple software. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

If you have iPhoto, you have iLife of some version. The ad was likely for a newer version, so thats an indicator you have 06 at the newest. And some reason your response is making me think of "Do you see a big blue E, or a big green N? Big black nothing? Ok..." :-)
