P: Export As - options to preserve the metadata in the file (keywords, etc)

I would for sure like that. I compete a lot , and in a lot of competiotions , they require EXIF and Metadata , due to avoid AI generated participation. So that would have made it a lot easier for a lot of us.So….VOTE ! :-)

thank you sir....you save me my whole time....thanks again

Photoshop can run a script when a file is exported (via Script Event Manager.)

This is a SAMPLE ONLY script that copies metadata from one open document and saves it into another document. DO NOT USE THIS in production as it will likely copy incorrect data. You would need to parse the XML and modify incorrect values (for example, dimensions.) But it could be done in theory.

var a = app.documents[0].xmpMetadata.rawData;
app.documents[0].close();
app.documents[0].xmpMetadata.rawData = a;

I've been using that to preserve all the metadata. But saving this way strips out Content Credentials on the other hand. Seems like I can't win - I can have just the one.

Update it seems that the copyright setting only apply to JPEG versus PNG. Thanks 

Hello All, 

I continue to get this error when trying to appply the fix that has been issued in this thread, which is "your asset file was exported but there was an error adding metadata to it". Any thoughts? Thanks 

Photoshop version: 22.5.1.
OS: Win 10

Steps to reproduce:
If you want to export jpg with the export function and click in the options that the metadata should be retained, this will not be done. The problem was reported a few years ago, but it still exists.

It would be wonderful if you could include metadata within the export function, which also has a one-click option and saves very quickly.

Actual result: Metadata is not saved despite this option
Expected result: Metadata should be saved or at least the option should be removed if it does not work

Hi guys,

I am using PS 22.5.1. I have 3 storage options and the new storage option for me - export as or fast export would be great, but unfortunately not everything works correctly. There is the option to keep metadata, but if I save my image with this option or without it, all metadata in the image will be deleted.

Save for the Web would be an alternative, since the Metadata are retained there, but with high-resolution data this takes a relatively long time.

So, as with CS, I use the classic save as variant, with the difference that the popup in which I define the Jpeg quality takes a long time to be displayed (it varies between 2-6 seconds). It doesn´t matter if i want to save big files or smaller ones, when I load the pictures into CS, I have the popup there without delay.

I tried exporting my images today like 10 times and tried different settings to try to fix this problem until I found this post. I am astonished and angry that "Export as" does NOT export metadata like copyright info when there is an option for doing just that in the export window. This has still not been fixed since this post originally was posted a couple of years ago. I find this unacceptable and this should work.

Adobe gets paid good money for Photoshop and bugs like this should be fixed when discovered.

Fix this Adobe, please!

Thank you to the posters above - but adding my annoyance - just spent 20 minutes on this only to hit a dead end.  Tried every method to export tags, searched their doc to no avail. Shame on Adobe leaving it up to their customers to document their (expensive) product. What are we paying for if all they're doing is removing features over time?
