Now I can select a number of photos and give them the exif for the specific lens. In my example i chose name "Set50mm" but i should probably be a little more descriptive. Saved as "Application" (I made a folder for these in my Applications folder). make sure to use the -overwrite_original option for exiftoolĤ. make sure to change "pass input" to "as arguments"ģ. The main things I needed to watch out for wasĢ. Here are some screenshots of the process. In Automator, I choose to make an Application, and chose the "run shell script" as the option.
Hurrah for me :-) though as you say, this may not be practical in your case with many different lenses, sadly. I can now apply them in PM when using my vintage lenses. Well, I did just figure how to create individual exiftool droplets that work with PM.
I know I could use ExitTool on the command line, but I am not good at that sort of thing, and am afraid I would mess-up with files. I've tried a few other Mac GUIs that allow changing the EXIF lens data, but it seem that they do not write the EXIF in a way that PM can read it (or at least that seems to be the case).ĭoes anyone know of a GUI app for Mac that will run in Catilina and write changes in a format that PM reads correctly? However, the developer stopped supporting the app a few years ago, and with the latest version of iOS, it has stopped working altogether. It was a GUI front-end for Phil Harvey's ExifTool, and it worked really well. PM6 is much better than earlier PM versions at getting the automatic data, when it is available.įor quite a while, I also used EXIF Changer by Marc Rochkind to change the actual EXIF lens data. I can do this automatically for chipped lenses by using the lt variable, or enter it manually. My workaround has been to put the lens into into the SOURCE field of the metadata. PM does not allow editing this part of the EXIF. Trying to keep track of which I shot with is something I like to do. I use various Lensbabys and other non-CPU lenses. In particular, if I shoot with a non CPU lens, there is no lens info in the EXIF. PM has always been great at updating metadata, but there are some limitations.
