Exiftool producers field and country field pdf#PDF with no compression (other than internal zip), PNG (if not forced/specified a lossy mode! ), TIFF (again, if only with zip compression or with none), TGA, PSD (other than loosing the native features from PS which aren't supported !) formats are lossless, so here wouldn't be a danger. I believe it only modifies the header part, but confirm it, as is one danger is re-saving lossy formats like JPG / gif / etc !. Surely it has a ton more options for all that : I am not completely sure about your exact needs, in detail, but, while I have not needed to use it for that specific use, in a fast glance, it has (for a lot of formats, as the application imports/exports a ton of formats) the -comment parameter, to include copyright or any meta data, the -set comment to modify existing meta data, and -strip to remove all meta data, in case you need that. Is a highly useful companion for ANY 2D and 3D package. And is free, completely, also for commercial. saved my work in several companies, specially when time was tight (almost always is.). The tool has a really long history, been used intensively over decades specially in server related stuff for handling image operations in batch, but is useful in so many other ways and uses. It has a command with tons of settings for virtually any need, and beyond. Exiftool producers field and country field free#literally anything graphic, so deep, flexible and powerful, an even more, free and cross platform (win, mac and linux), that I don't know why I hadn't mentioned before. I got back here now to mention one which I forgot to link before, and not sure if has appeared in the thread already. Also because very rarely batch processing is going to be as flexible and/or fast in performance inside a general editing package like PS (way behind than the best specialized tools for that) or Affinity's, as a specialized batch processing tool is, and which does not need even an UI (my fav batch processing tools tend to be command line.) and not having the constraints imposed in a general editing application. I'm absolutely convinced they hear every suggestion (and to an extent that I have not seen before in any company, both as a registered user and customer, like here, but definitely neither working at several of them ), so, while it is a good suggestion -perhaps even already in a roadmap!-, we say that, meanwhile, you get the job done by combining -which you find essential and almost unavoidable to do in any advanced project, sooner or later- an external tool. Any developer company has a roadmap, and schedules. (btw, some of the mentioned photos: Our point is. Some of my photos will be combined with those of another photographer for a magazine article and I wanted to include the © symbol and info for identification purposes if they got the photos confused, that was the reason behind my initial question. I am just a newbie, going to use Photos with Affinity, and I look forward to what I hope will be a good combination after have been dumped by Aperture. Exiftool producers field and country field windows#Windows or third party options was not being discussed and appreciation for the options, but I just want to stay with Affinity. My (polite!) opinion and suggestion is that Affinity provide it. Affinity does not have a © copyright metadata option Hi All, My initial observation, opinion and suggestion still stands: Most pros I know do it this way and later they also add additional specific image infos for their individual archivement/cataloging purposes, or when dealing with image agencies etc. Exiftool producers field and country field software#directly inside the used cams (all DSLRs I use do support this) and thus such infos are then always already there when you're taking the images, if not stripped out by any software processing afterwards. and sometimes XnViewMP or GraphicConverter on Macs for such tasks, on Win I use instead IrfanView!īTW one of the easiest way to overall deal with this is, to already setup/place copyright infos etc. Writes Artist tag to all files in directory /images.Įxiftool -artist="Phil Harvey" -copyright="2017 Phil Harvey" a.jpg Since no group is specified, EXIF:Artist will be written and all other existing Artist tags will be updated with the new value ("me"). Personally I do mostly use ExifTool from a shell. There are also other tools like XnViewMP which do support to do bulk image batch-processing for applying custom metadata. Don't know if anyone is using that one, it's just one of the Mac related GUI tool references from the ExifTool site.
