JPG files request Picture Control info. for Nikon P6000

[dgillilan]

I would like to request the download of the Nikon Picture Control data on the JPG files, from the Nikon Coolpix P6000 camera. You are presently downloading most of the Meta data from this camera, but the Picture Control data is missing.  The data I would like is: "Picture Control Name", "Picture Control Quick Adjustment", "Picture Control Image Sharpening", "Picture Control Contrast", "Picture Control Saturation".  These are all user chosen and are not presently shown in Photo Mechanic Data, and once one chooses the Picture Control, the other choices are within that Picture Control menu. Note that this data is shown for the higher end DSLRs, for example my D700 has ability to use picture controls with even more data than the Coolpix, and these values are shown in Photo Mechanic. I am very happy with using Photo Mechanic and would be more pleased to see the picture control data from the Coolpix also.
Thank you,
Debra Gillilan

We're downloading the entire file when we Ingest.  We may not show all of the special data in your camera, but rest assured that all of the data is indeed there.

If you're willing to send us some sample files then perhaps we can find a way to read the Nikon Picture Control data for your model of camera.

Please click on my name to the left of this message, then click on the 'personal message' link.  I will respond with upload instructions.
