Title: Backup/Restore just EXIF data
Post by: rvicker on July 23, 2020, 06:01:05 PM
I would like to be able to backup just the EXIF data from a batch of *.JPG files to individual data files before editing the images.

Then I would like to restore the EXIF data for each file from the corresponding backup.

I haven't really found the correct parameters as the examples just talk about copying from a full image file to another.

Thanks.

Hi there,

For this purpose, you can use MIE files.
You can find more information about this here:
