Editing EXIF data/Adding Copyright

[DavidD]

Can anybody tell me if there is a way to embedded copyright details into the EXIF data of an image edited in AP?

At the moment I am having to save the image from AP and open it in Corel Aftershot Pro 3 just to add the copyright info...

Hi DavidD,

 

Welcome to the forums

 

No, it's not possible to edit the EXIF metadata in Affinity Photo except the Description field I'm afraid.

 

Thanks

Callum

That's a shame, it is a very important feature for all photographers...

Thanks, but I am not too keen on using online versions like this, I always forget where they are...

Why not create a shortcut to it, or keep a bookmark in your browser?

DavidD: exiftool is best tool for EXIF manipulation (therefore it is also used in the Affinity Photo :-).

But I recommend using ExifToolGUI (http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/~bogdan/exiftoolgui516.zip) to make it much easier to use.

Well since AP can't, just use a capable third party tool. - There are many tools (image viewers and converters etc.) which can deal with this and also allow to batch process such tasks. Good tools here in this regard are mostly based on ExifTool or Exiv2, meaning they do (re)use those libraries internally or work as a frontend GUI to these.

If you don't want to work from a command shell with the above mentioned Exif tools, you can use IrfanView on Windows and XnViewMP under Windows/Mac here. The later has the advantage to be available for all systems (Win/Mac/Linux).
