[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

Lightroom Classic 7.4 should address the issue with GPS not getting read for CR3 files. For issue with other fields mentioned above, we are still looking into it.

I tested with my files and I get the correct GPS position now 🙂

Right, as Smit indicated in his now-deleted comment, reading GPS from CR3 files may be fixed. (I can't verify, since the sample linked above is now gone end ExifTool can't yet update the GPS field of CR3 files.)

But Title, User Comment, Description, and Rating still aren't being read (using the test files previously posted).

Dear,

I answered above about the "rating issue", I can't say regarding the GPS (I don't use it)

Thanks & Kind Regards,

Dear Smit,

I can't find your comment here (but I've seen the preview on e-mail), anyway I can't say about GPS (I don't use it), but I can confirm your phrase: "We are still looking into the issues for other fields." Infact the problem of rating is not solved still in this last version of Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.4.

Thank you in advance,

Simone

Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.4 was released earlier today and should have a fix for the GPS portion of this issue. Give it a try and let us know if you continue to see this problem. Thank you for your patience!

Hi,

Lightroom Classic 7.4 was released today and should address the issue of GPS data not being imported. Please update your Lightroom to the latest version and let us know if you continue to see the issue. Thank you for your patience.

We are still looking into the issues for other fields.

Thanks,

Thanks John for the file. I was able to reproduce Lightroom Classic not importing Title, Description, UserComment as well as rating.

I have added this info to the bug.
