Image orientation metadata missing

I created a project in May, 2025, with no issues exporting the quality report, mesh, dsm, and orthomosaic. I try opening the file today and the images are missing from the project. I right clicked over the image column and re-attached them. When they uploaded, I received an error message saying the orientation metadata is missing. The photos have not been moved or opened since initially creating and saving the project. The current version I am using is 1.81.1

Hi @tmixon

Can you check if the image geolocation and orientation are on the Camera tab? It looks like these values are not in the exif data of the images. Did you use an external file to import them?

Hi Alvaro,

Yes the Lat, Long, and Alt are in the Camera tab. The images were imported directly from the drones SD card.
