To edit, for example, EXIF metadata, choose Image -> Metadata -> Edit EXIF. To create a template on the fly, press the Edit button next to the drop-down list.ĭigiKam offers metadata editing tools, too. You can apply an existing template to the photo by selecting it from the Template drop-down list. Since digiKam supports templates, you don’t have to enter this information manually. The Information section of the sidebar allows you to enter additional information about the photo such as licensing terms, location, and contact info. You can use the Caption/Tags sidebar to edit basic metadata such as caption (i.e., the photo’s title), author, date and time as well as assign the photo ratings and tags.

You can switch between concise and full views as well as print the metadata, save them as a file, and copy them into the clipboard. Inside each digital photo hides metadata in the EXIF, IPTC, or XMP formats, and digiKam provides tools for viewing and editing this useful information.įor starters, digiKam’s main window features the dedicated Metadata sidebar which lets you view EXIF, Makernote, IPTC, and XMP metadata. Thanks in advance.Transcribed from Dmitri Popov's blog, 22 February 2011 I'd appreciate any software recommendations that are on point. (I realize that you could also convert to TIFF in Capture NX-D, but this doesn't provide the flexibility of raw editing, so let's please restrict this discussion to the EXIF conversion software.) I will need to do this only until Adobe releases a new version of ACR, which may be just a few weeks, so I'm not willing to pay a large fee for the software.


I did this for one file to confirm that it works pretty well, but I don't have time to do this manually for hundreds of images, which is why I'm looking for an alternative batch method.

The background is this: I recently purchased a Nikon D750, which is not yet supported by Adobe Lightroom or Camera Raw, but I learned elsewhere on the internet that if you change the camera model in the EXIF data to D5300, then it works fine. Does anyone know of a good, freely available program for Windows that can batch edit the EXIF data in NEF (Nikon raw) files? I have found a program called Exif Pilot which works for editing one photo at a time but charges $80 for the batch editing plugin, and I would like to find a free one if possible.
