EXIF writing

[theim]

Is PM capable of copying EXIF info from a Nikon NEF file to a jpg file of the same name in batch?
I would like to write the EXIF data from roughly 200 NEF files to their corresponding jpg files.


Thanks,
Tom Heim

No, there is no such feature in Photo Mechanic at this time.

I had a similar problem previously since my workflow involves such a step but discovered that PM can generate me the JPGs from my Canon RAW files this way I don't need to copy the EXIF, most of the EXIF data is there in the extracted JPG as well. For me this has been a solution. Maybe it helps you as well.

There is a free command line utility that is able to copy EXIF-data from NEFs to Jpegs. It is called exiftool and is available here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

Thank you szurkebarat and dielinse.  I will give the exiftool a try!

Best regards,
