Edit EXIF?

[pulancho]

I have a small number of photos (TIFF, JPEG) that have lost the EXIF info because it was stripped out by a program I used. I want to add back some of the info such as the camera, lens, and date so that it will show up in Lightroom Classic, etc.. Is there a way to do it in XnView MP?

[pulancho]

No one knows if there is a way to do this?

XnViewMP does not provide the ability to change exif data, except timestamp, gps data, orientation (and some "XP" fields used years ago)

With XnViewMP, sometimes i duplicate photo1 that has good exif data
Then I paste the graphic content of photo2 that had lost it's exif data
And I save as : photo2
So that photo2 gets the exif data of photo1
And I add seconds to the timestamp

Otherwise Exiftool can be used, but this requires some knowledge... (search for CCExiftool, my own software )

i'll extends 'Metadata transfer' tools, so which EXIF fields are needed?

[pulancho]

I hope at least these EXIF fields so that the info will be shown in Lightroom Classic:

• camera

• lens

• focal length

• f-stop

• shutter speed

• ISO

• date/time taken

I am using a Mac.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.9.2. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

I installed 1.9.2 on my Mac. When I select a photo and then look at the Metadata menu I see Edit comment, Edit IPTC, Edit XMP, Edit GPS data, Edit, and Change timestamp. But I cannot find where I can set/change:

camera
lens
focal length
f-stop
shutter speed
ISO

Maybe I am looking in the wrong place or misunderstanding?

Playing around some more I found that hidden inside Edit there are some more options. I will give it a try and report back.
