Hello.
I am removing the © symbol from a collection of tiff images, and replacing it with the word 'Copyright' instead, in order to meet the baseline tiff format. I had been using the following command:
.\exiftool.exe -L -CopyrightOwner="Copyright De Munt / La Monnaie" "
Since the Exiftool update, this has not worked and I'm only half way though.
What command can I use now to get the same result for the rest of the images?
I would be ever so grateful for your help.
Many thanks,
In what way has this not worked? What is the exact output from exiftool? Are you using some other program to look at the "copyright"?
Double-checking here, I think the problem is that you are using the wrong tag. CopyrightOwner is a structured tag (see the Structured Information page (https://exiftool.org/struct.html)), which is a complex tag which combines multiple subtags. If you don't set the complete structure as shown on the Structured Information page, you would instead set the flattened tags, CopyrightOwnerID, CopyrightOwnerName, and CopyrightOwnerImageID.
The tags you are probably looking for would be Rights, Copyright, and maybe CopyrightNotice, with the last being part of the older IPTC IMM standard.
I checked trying to write CopyrightOwner with some older versions of exiftool, and none of them would write it, instead returning this warning
Warning: Improperly formed structure for XMP-plus:CopyrightOwner
Nothing to do.
