XnView removes EXIF data?
Posted: Mon May 28, 2012 6:01 pm
I've been using XnView for years, one of the options I use frequently is resetting times to the original times the pictures were taken (I'm not sure about the English menu because I'm using the Dutch version, but I guess it is tools > change timestamp). I used this with many different camera types and it always seemed to work fine.
However, I've just bought a CanonPowerShotSX230HS and when applying the same action I did for years, EXIF data are removed from the pictures, leaving only XMP data (it seems that pictures from this camera that I did not edit have both EXIF and XMP data). How can this happen? I'm only using EXIF data since this is the type of data all of my camera's export, and now this data type seems to be removed from my pictures (with the negative effect that I cannot sort my pictures anymore on data taken). I'm performing exactly the same action on pictures in the same folder, but from different camera's, and this works fine.
