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

Well now it's months later. Photoshop is supposed to have a better algorithm for Quick Export and Export as, but still minimal metadata transfers with Export As vs Save For Web. Isn’t it time for someone to step up and work on this? I've posted my workflow elsewhere which describes why I need that meta-data in the file. Please?

I wish Save As  had an option to convert profiles.  That's what is nice about Export As or Quick Export.... SFW is so big and clunky... so many options. I wish ONE was perfect. But NONE are. Exports remove your metadata, Save As doesn't let you convert profiles. SFW is clunky but writes an efficient file. 

SFW would be great... if it worked. Since moving from computer-based app to cloud-based, SFW (legacy) no longer works, leaving me no option but to Export as. OK, you might think, but I'm losing all my keywords and having to reinsert them. It's a pain in the rear. Not only that, but Export As isn't reducing the file size nearly as much as SFW, making my files about x3 times larger, which will have an impact on my blog. Not impressed.

When i export my photos I lose all the information , like what camera I use ... and put my photos on Flickr ... If I use the old save for the web .. I have all the information left.. like my name the camera the aperture, the shutter the iso and so on ... my name and bla bla bla ... with this new thing I don't get anything ... really bad

Well said. The two things that EVERY Photoshop user does are to open and save files. Those should have maximum flexibility and optimization. Instead we get the slow New Document window, the large, ugly Cloud Files button, the half-baked Export feature, and still don't have Image Processor Pro included.

I have to rely on SFW to save full-resolution JPEG files in production use, because Photoshop doesn't have another good way of doing so. Ridiculous.

If that doesn't work somehow, the Pro is also free and seems it would appear under File > Automate when installed correctly.

I'm sorry, but I don't find that good enough. Export As allows us to export layers as PNG or JPEG, in multiple sizes. It allows us to export multiple artboards that are contained in a single document. Because we have Export As, we shouldn't have to figure out how to find and install IP Pro. Running a batch script isn't the same thing in the middle of the workflow as using Export As. We also shouldn't have to use the (Legacy) SFW, one lonely file at a time. And the standard version of Image Processor still isn't good enough. It doesn't include PNG or exporting to multiple sizes at the same time.

Image Processor definitely still has a place, but so does Export As—which should by now be capable of replacing Save For Web.

I don't do web work, but I could use Export As happily if it included at least the choices that SFW has for including metadata. So while it was designed with web designers in mind, that was Adobe's mistake. Deciding features based solely on what Adobe thinks web designers want, excluding everyone else who always used SFW, was short-sighted, and so far, even having a lot of people speak up, they're just leaving the old SFW to limp along to mollify the rest of us.

The last place businesses today are investing is in personnel. And with features like Export As that limp along unfinished, I think it shows.

@4271024 : Is the Pro version still needed? Seems the default version that comes with PS is now ok? (or always was; from a too quick read I got the impression there was nothing to fix, as they misinterpreted Russell's Fit Image for Image Size...)

"We’ve been chatting with the incredibly talented X that now seems to own Image Processor Pro and we’ve had a break through. You no longer need our code. The latest version of the code works perfectly. All you need to do is specify the maximum pixel size of your desired image for both the width AND the high and the Processor works it all out. Superb news."  http://photoshopscaresme.com/new-version-russell-browns-image-processor-pro

So, @7480888 : Image Processor is free and in the File > Scripts list.
If that doesn't work somehow, the Pro is also free and seems it would appear under File > Automate when installed correctly.
In that case, maybe see here...

Then they probably need to remember that this is the first thing listed on their pricing page.

Hi guys,

 

I'd like to use the Export As... option (CMD+ALT+SHIFT+W) when exporting to JPEG or PNG. Onle of the advantages of this is not having the spaces between words in the filename replaced with a hyphen. Ho

wever, this option doesn't export any of the informaiion stored in File Info....

 

While making the video to illustrate the issue, it dawned on me that the only thing that's required is for Export As... to have the same metadata options as Save for Web (Legacy)... After all, the functionality should be the same, regardless of which method is used... right?

 

 

 

Photoshop is a slave to many masters. Save for Web and Export As probably bow down to UI/Web designers more than photographers where file size preferred and assumed sRGB is good enough.
