Can PM change Camera Model in a raw file
« on: March 24, 2014, 04:42:10 AM »
I would like to change the camera model in my raw files. Can PM do this?

I have a new Fuji X-T1, which creates the same tpe of raw file as the Fuji X-E2, however LR 5 refuses to open them. If I could change the model from X-T1 to X-E2 then LR would have no problems! Crazy, I know, and I am sure that soon the model will be added to LR.

No, PM cannot change the camera model.  Exiftool may be able to do that.  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

Thanks for your reply. I have also found ExifTool after making the posting, and was successful in using it to do this.
The command inside Terminal is:
Quote
exiftool -model='X-T1' <folder>

e.g. for <folder> I had pictures/rawfiles

Cheers,

Tip: I'd recommend making a backup of any files that you're trying to alter for non-standard use.
