Yes, yes, yes! And how is it with that interoperability then? Metadata inside files are the most portable and easily managed.
The *thing* is, writing exif data to jpg/png/tif/... is not *usually* distructive where writing after-the-fact to a raw (original) image may be and may not be noticed immediately. So non-destructive editing of raw files usually employes a *side-car* file or a database where the edits are recorded and applied to the output file, jpg/png/tif/...
So set your meta-data in your camera to be added to the files the camera outputs and maintain pristine originals and do as you please to non-originals.
But to maintain a catalogue of your photos and accompanying side-car files requires an application such as darktable or digikam or photoshop or ... and you may become locked to a particular operating system. All about choices.
Still, "all about choices" :)
Yed. I don't mind to add metadata to RAW files. I work most of the time with JPG (RAW is in an archive) and I wish its metadata to be accessible for various applications. So I choose my tools accordingly... -- Vojtěch Zeisek http://trapa.cz/cs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
