[Update: LR 7.3.1 doesn't import a number a metadata fields from .CR3 files that are read from other raw formats, including the GPS fields, XMP:Rating, XMP:Title, EXIF:ImageDescription, EXIF:UserComment.  See below for more details.

Dear community,

 

I own a new Canon EOS M50 and took a lot of GPS tagged pictures in my last holiday. Lightroom is importing the CR3 files without any problems, but I miss the GPS position. If I look to the files with the tool of Canon I see, that the position where the picture was taken, is inside of the file. Even if I export the pic to a jpg and import it then to Lightroom I have the position - but I like to have the raw file.

So far I found no way to display the position in combination with the CR3 file. I could put it in manually for each file, but therefor these are to many.

I already double-checked the import parameters and no preset was applied, so I guess this is obviously still an issue of the cr3 implementation in the camera raw module.



Here a link to an example file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtdqMJFRUFadgrYafe8Xh8oe1NJ5fg 




Maybe somebody has an idea or workaround... At least it should be known and be fixed in a future release.



Thanks and regards

Andreas

Here is a zipped folder containing a .CR3 and a .ARW with these fields set:



LR 7.3.1 imports these fields from the .ARW but not the .CR3.  (I misspoke about importing the two EXIF fields -- I got confused.)

Hi,

I was able to reproduce Rating, Title, Description and UserComment not getting imported for CR3 files. Thanks again for the file. I have logged the bug for this.

I've verified that, in addition to the GPS fields, LR 7.3.1 doesn't import the following metadata fields from CR3 files:
XMP:Rating, XMP:Title, EXIF:ImageDescription, EXIF:UserComment
Do you have a CR3 test file with above metadata fields? If so, could you share it to keniya@adobe.com?

LR does import these fields from CR2 files. Most likely this bug is related to the fact that CR3 uses the ISO Base Media File Format rather than the TIFF format used by most raw files.

Dear community,

I own a new Canon EOS M50, Lightroom is importing the CR3 files without any problems, but I miss the stars rating, before indicated direcly on camera. If I look to the files with the DPP4 tool of Canon I see them, but none rating indication is visible on LR CC.

Here a link to an example file with rating 5 stars in camera:

I think that is a bug of LR CC. Maybe somebody has an idea or workaround... At least it should be known and be fixed in a future release.

Thanks in advance & Kind Regards,
Simone

J'ai testé ce fichier sur LRClassic sur Mac, même constat, le champ GPS dnas les méta-données de LR Classic ne sont pas reprise ... donc il manque cette information dans le script de lecture des .CR3.

 La conversion en .DNG ne change rien !
