Masking EXIF data
« on: March 29, 2017, 06:49:45 AM »
Running PM 5.0 Build 18327 on Dell Laptop and Windows 10.

I saw a comment in an old post (http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=577.0) saying it was possible to "mask" EXIF data in PM but could not find out how to do this.  Is this still possible?

I'm having difficulties with my agency getting corrupt EXIF data from my Nikon D5 but not from my D3s and we have narrowed this issue down to the EXIF data  embedded by the D5 through a long series of tests.  As Nikon don't have an option to remove the EXIF data, I wondered if this mask function would help us?

Thanks - couldn't see it for looking!

Is it possible to set masking for ALL images on ingest, or does this have to be applied to images through the GUI?

You have to use the Mask/Unmask tool.  Masking metadata on Ingest is not a feature in PM.
