Flickr removing exif from “shared” images

[maninsuitcase]

When I upload my images to flickr I upload them with full exif. However when I use the sharing code the image seems to loose it's exif. Going to the image on flickr and then using the show exif works so it definitely made it to flickr.

Is this a "feature" because I have a standard non Pro account? Or do I need to turn something on somewhere?

The IPTC data seems to remain so at least it still has the byline, copyright and keywords.

I am checking for the exif using Opanda on windows and also the EXIF Viewer extension for Chrome, both find no exif data.

I've noticed this and I have a Pro account. If you link the original size image the exif stays in tact as below.

I am uploading at 1024px on the long edge though which is no good for here.

Maybe I should just swap down to ~600px on the long edge as it's only for web viewing anyway.

Not sure if you've already made any changes but the exif data is there when I view the attached image in your first post via Kuso

Not made any changes, odd. Does it have the full exif stuff like the apature and shutter etc?

There is a tick box option on flickr in your sharing profile that lets you strip exif data, have a look to make sure this is not ticked.

Could be the problem

Thanks, will have a look when I get home as flickr is blocked at work and I can't get to the menu via their mobile site.

Here's a screen grab of what it showed

Your shot will only retain the EXIF if you link from the original in Flickr.

Chris, 1024 pixels is fine now as the forum has a resizer.

 

[maninsuitcase]

Just uploaded 2 more images. Checked and hide EXIF is set to no, I take i thats the option you mean but the images are all (including the largest size) missing the EXIF. Thoroughly confused now.

 

[Marc]

Hmm, are you definitely selecting Original rather than Large? I've noticed that, when selecting all sizes, flickr defaults to Large

 

[maninsuitcase]

I don't have an original option only large which is the same as the original, would be odd if these were not the same thing.

Isn't the original option Pro only?

 

[Marc]

Large is always 1024 on flickr if uploaded at at least (1024 of course). Original will always be what the photo was uploaded as so if the original is also 1024, it will be the same as Large.

So if the original is a pro option, does that mean you can't upload bigger than 1024? Have you tried?

 

[maninsuitcase]

Some early ones where uploaded at 3000ish and these are only viewable at 1024, seems I need to go pro or just link to the flickr page if people want to see them.

You might aswell go pro, you can keep full sizes up then and you are not limited to 200 pictures on your account. Im have pro and exif is still stripped if i link to a smaller size.
I upload at 1024 but only link as 640, never tried linking at original size. Might aswell test while im here.

Edit - Yep works, exif is intact.
