Edit EXIF?

Post by pulancho »

I have a small number of photos (TIFF, JPEG) that have lost the EXIF info because it was stripped out by a program I used. I want to add back some of the info such as the camera, lens, and date so that it will show up in Lightroom Classic, etc.. Is there a way to do it in XnView MP?

XnViewMP does not provide the ability to change exif data, except timestamp, gps data, orientation (and some "XP" fields used years ago)

With XnViewMP, sometimes i duplicate photo1 that has good exif data
Then I paste the graphic content of photo2 that had lost it's exif data
And I save as : photo2
So that photo2 gets the exif data of photo1
And I add seconds to the timestamp

Otherwise Exiftool can be used, but this requires some knowledge... (search for CCExiftool, my own software :D )

I hope at least these EXIF fields so that the info will be shown in Lightroom Classic:
  • camera
  • lens
  • focal length
  • f-stop
  • shutter speed
  • ISO
  • date/time taken
I am using a Mac.

I installed 1.9.2 on my Mac. When I select a photo and then look at the Metadata menu I see Edit comment, Edit IPTC, Edit XMP, Edit GPS data, Edit, and Change timestamp. But I cannot find where I can set/change:

camera
lens
focal length
f-stop
shutter speed
ISO


Maybe I am looking in the wrong place or misunderstanding?

Playing around some more I found that hidden inside Edit there are some more options. I will give it a try and report back.
