Last week I was experimenting with the different astrotracer modes on my cameras. I expect that the mode is recorded in the exif data. I know that there are programs that will print out all of the exif data based on the file, but it would be very handy to sort the photos, in lightroom, based on this. Can anyone point me to a solution? -- Larry Colen lrc@red4est.com sent from ret13est

The only plug in that I recall seeing is this one: https://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-viewer#:~:text=This%20plugin%20for%20Adobe%20Lightroom,is%20perhaps%20at%20times%20useful. Lightroom is actually pretty weak on what it is willing to give up to it's user regarding metadata. bill On 9/8/2024 4:46 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > Last week I was experimenting with the different astrotracer modes on my cameras.

Thanks a bunch, that was the one I was trying to find, but couldn't remember the name. It didn't do what I wanted with regards to exif data, but it pointed me to this plug-in https://johnrellis.com/lightroom/anyfilter.htm which Jeff recommended as being more powerful than his. In the process it pointed me to Exiftool https://exiftool.org/index.html Which I ended up using, and found out that Pentax does not record which version of astrotracer was used on the image. So, I'll need to actually record time and frame numbers at some time comparing the different versions. BTW, more of John Ellis' plug-ins here https://johnrellis.com/lightroom/allplugins.htm > On Sep 8, 2024, at 6:31 PM, Bill <anotherdrunkensot@gmail.com> wrote: > > The only plug in that I recall seeing is this one: > > https://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-viewer#:~:text=This%20plugin%20for%20Adobe%20Lightroom,is%20perhaps%20at%20times%20useful. > > Lightroom is actually pretty weak on what it is willing to give up to it's user regarding metadata. > > bill > > On 9/8/2024 4:46 PM, Larry Colen wrote: >> Last week I was experimenting with the different astrotracer modes on my cameras.
