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.
Not all cameras have the capability to add the exif tags that a user may want.
Understood, and I used to write exif/itpc information directly to my raw files and never corrupted one afaict, but have been advised by knowledgable individuals that it is possible and better safe than not. :) Adding information to non-raw files doesn't appear to be a problem and I agree that maintaining side-car or db information for non-raw files is an unwanted chore. But I believe in shooting raw and am not interested in maintaining additional files for non-raw images. A very rare occasional phone image might have need but it would be *really* rare. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
