The metadata contains shooting information about the photo- eg shutter speed, aperture etc. It can also contain the RAW conversion settings used to process the original RAW photo file. Therefore it’s possible to copy across the settings into your own Lightroom or Photoshop presets to create a similar ‘look’ for your own photos.

metadata

After quickly getting tired of copying settings across manually, I developed a tool which will output a Lightroom or Photoshop preset file based on the metadata found for that Flickr photo. Simply enter the full URL of the photo into the tool below and you’re away!

It is limited to photos which have metadata publicly available. Also custom point tone curve information isn’t converted- as the Flickr metadata page unfortunately doesn’t show all it.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or find any bugs. If you find it useful and have a website, please link to this blog post.

Output:



UPDATE 05/05/2010: Flickr doesn’t show the processing settings on their metadata page anymore – so unfortunately this converter won’t work any longer. Hope you enjoyed it whilst you had time to use it. Since it’s creation it’s done 3962 conversions!
