Skriv metadata til RAW-filer i digiKam

Fra Mohamed Malik's blog, 1. marts 2011

Næsten alle billeder indeholder metadata, og disse data angiver alle de indstillinger du brugte, dat du tog billedet. Det inkluderer blændehastighed, apertur, fokallængde osv.

Most image management applications allow you to add and remove custom metadata to your files. This can be easily done while using JPEG files. However the same is not very true for RAW files.

When we add more labels and captions to the metadata of an image we need to save it. If you have a lot of RAW files, digiKam gives you the option to write metadata to RAW files as well. However please bear in mind that this feature is still experimental.

In order to enable the writing of metadata to RAW files, you need to edit your configuration of digiKam.

From the main menu go to Settings -> Configure digiKam

Then you will see the configurations menu. On the left hand side select Metadata and enable the option Write Metadata to RAW files

See screen capture below.
