Hi,
I am going through some of my old negatives and scanning them in. I have my negatives cataloged, and what I want to be able to do is add the roll# to the EXIF or IPTC data within the file. The only program that I can seem to locate that seems to be interesting enough to do this is called EXIFER. Though if someone else can recommend a better program, by all means I am all ears. Unfortunately, EXIFER does not allow one to edit certain fields (like shutter time, f-stop, etc.)
When editing EXIF data, the fields it gives me to edit are:
- Description
- Artist
- Copyright
-- Photographer
-- Editor - Comment
While this works fine enough, I cannot find any of the fields in DO that will read those particular fields. I would like to be able to hover the mouse over the photo and it shows one of these fields. I searched and tried most of them, but as of yet, have not been able to get any of the above fields to display during mouse hover.
So I guess what I need to ask is:
-
Is there another EXIF editor that will allow me to edit other fields that will show up? I would need something that will run in batch mode. I have no intention of editing EXIF data one pic at a time.
-
Assuming there is no better sofware, can DO8 show the above mentioned fields?
-
If DO8 will not, will DO9 support this? Also will DO9 support displaying IPTC data as well as EXIF?
-
Will DO9 support editing EXIF data?
I tried to use the Set Description in DO, and while it does work, problem is I had a dir last week that had all the data in it. I dunno what happened, i went back to work in that dir this week and all my data is gone. I will have to find the negs again and redo the comments or something. How or why it all vanished I do not know.
Thanks
