copy Exif from one image to another

Here's what I do for some digital photos: 1. use gimp to edit (do some cloning touching up) 2. save as TIFF to limit compression loss 3. open TIFF with picasa to adjust color temperature (I really like picasa's color temperature slider) 4. save as JPEG The Exif info is lost in step 2 when Gimp save as TIFF. So I wanted to copy the Exif info from the original JPEG to the final JPEG. Hmmm... never having used Gimp, I can't say, but that sounds weird. If a program I had didn't save the existing exif data whenever it saves the file, I'd toss it and find one that does. It would certainly make it simpler for you to [one-time] find a better program than to [every time] have to manually copy the data over. As I described in another thread, why don't you try using Adobe Lightroom - you can combine ALL those steps (and more, plus file management) into one program which THRIVES on the EXIF data, rather than discarding it. [topic drift] Ken, or any other Mac user: Can you find your photos via Spotlight searching on the Metadata key words, or EXIF info, for that matter? Hmmm, never tried (I just do it in Aperture, which has much more sophisticated search criteria). Hang on, let me give it a shot... Yup. Learched on "lighthouse", and all my pictures that have "lighthouse" as a keyword showed up, even if the name of the file didn't contain it (and getting info showed the keyword). Searched on "digital rebel xt" and digital rebel xti"and all those photos showed up, with the info showing it as "camera model". So yeah, Spotlight allows searching by EXIF keyword. Thanks. Do you still have images you processed in LR, and do they show up? (Mine don't, so don't know whether it's a localized phenom. or something else.) -- John McWilliams |

I never entered any keywords in LR, I did it all (evenon the unrecognized .cr2 files) in Aperture, so there would be no way of telling. I guess I add some keywords to an image in LR and export it, just to see. 'ang on.... .... OK, the results: both LR & Aperture append the keywords to any non-raw exported files, neither append it to the original raw file if it is exported (or a copy of it is), which is probably as it should be when they state that they never touch the original file. So, if you're having problems with LR not appending keywords to exported images (non-raw) it seems to probably be on your system. -- You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. -- Charles A.

But, thanks to what you just wrote, I realize that I was searching on terms that were attached only to the xml sidecars; that the particular images whose key words I was using Spotlight for on that computer hadn't been exported. D'Oh! And, yes, most of my searching will be within Lightroom, but I wanted to know whatever alternatives there were in case I stopped using it. -- John McWilliams |
