RCM Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 This is a great tool. It would be great to have one more easy feature: Add editor for editing Description Data, Tags, instead of having to open photo again with another tool to do this. Thanks.

toe_head2001 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Try the layer properties (right of the layers window) Type what ever info you want to in the box. I'm pretty sure RCM is referring to Exif metadata. I don't always use Exif metadata, but when I do, I use the File Properties dialog in Windows Explorer.

racerx Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The $64,000 question is: Why would one want to edit the exif data of an image? I don't know of any typical image editor that has that capability built-in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null54 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The $64,000 question is: Why would one want to edit the exif data of an image? EXIF data can include things like copyright tags. Additionally IPTC and XMP metadata allows for inclusion of additional data (Description, Source, etc) used in professional publishing.

racerx Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yes, I know about what exif metadata is and what info it holds. I often check the exif data on pictures I took to see which lens I used, F-stop, shutter speed, ISO, etc. There are many ways to strip or edit exif data. I'm curious as the the reason why the OP wants to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 There are many reasons I can think of to need EXIF or other metadata editing tools; color space and embedded copyright info are two I can think of off the top of my head. The thing is, they're all edge cases and (from my experience with PdN development) unlikely to make it into the program. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Rick Brewster Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 A metadata editor would be useful, sure, and I wanted to add one a long time ago. It never made the cut though because it's just not important enough, and it's also a lot more complicated than you might think. EXIF isn't as simple as you might expect. And while the APIs for working with it have become more general purpose, they've also become much more complicated.

Someone else will have already dealt with this nightmare and made things work correctly and debugged it. 3 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
