Show White balance
Posted: Wed May 14, 2025 7:49 am
When i press I on keyboard it opens the info window overlay Settings > View > Info is for setting it up.
When i use {EXIF:White Balance} in that overlay it shows Manual: 1 however in exiftool it shows for
Canon [MakerNotes:Image] White Balance: Fluorescent
Sony [MakerNotes:Camera] White Balance: Shade and [EXIF:Camera] Light Source: Shade
Its very important for me to know white balance without running Exiftool every time, is there way to show in white balance as words in that overlay window?
So far i am using this workaround as command i run on bunch of files: exiftool -overwrite_original "-XMP:Instructions<MakerNotes:WhiteBalance" then display in info overlay {XMP:Instructions}, but it takes a while to do it as need to overwrite all files, ideally need another more direct solution.
And there's a problem with that workaround XML:Instructions is ignored if its only inside RAW file, but not in .xmp sidecar file.
