John Brown Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I edited a photo in Paint.NET and it stripped it completely of the previously entered IPTC and XMP metadata. Is this known behaviour or could the problem be in something else as well? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It doesn't... at least yet... it's in the roadmap for v4.0 check the main website http://www.getpaint.net Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 @MP - Not what he meant. Paint.NET does some funny stuff with metadata. EXIF seems to be safe, but some of the other stuff is lost every once in a while. But you'll have to get Rick for a more in-depth answer. As Miguel said, there is a metadata editor planned for version 4.0. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

John Brown Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thank you, David. You are spot on. A metadata editor would be great, but for the moment I would be greatful if the data already in the JPG file would be left untouched.

david.atwell Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 In retrospect, it might actually be something the .NET framework is doing. I'm not sure. Out of curiosity, what are you viewing the metadata in that's showing it being changed? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

John Brown Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 David, for casual viewing in Windows I use XnView (http://www.xnview.com/) and if I want to be really sure, the best is Exiftool by Phil Harvey (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/). As a test picture I actually used one of the sample pictures attached to the IPTC specs, so the metadata I started with should be really correct.
