writing rotation flag in EXIF to DNGs on disk
« on: November 10, 2025, 12:10:52 PM »
I'd like to save the EXIF for the images rotated in PMP to DNG directly, so they are picked up as such by Bridge/Lightroom.  How can I update only the metadata for the files I rotated?  I see I can select the rotated ones from Edit=>Select Rotated.

If you soft-rotated your DNG files with Photo Mechanic Plus, then the EXIF orientation tag data has already been updated in the DNG file.
