[Originally posted by gillessimon on 2009-05-14 16:56:07-07]Hello,
I am using following command to rewrite LensID from EXIF (SONY Maker Notes) into Transmission Reference (IPTC) so that LIGHTROOM can filter on that last tag and display images selected from the right lens
exiftool "-TransmissionReference<LensID" *.jpg -overwrite_original_in_place
I tried to use same command on a RAW file (SONY A350) as below but fail to get it working
exiftool "-TransmissionReference<LensID" *.ARW -overwrite_original_in_place
Is it only due to ARW file not including IPTC tags??? Is there another tag that I could use in place of Transmission Reference so it is used by Lightroom to filter out my images?

See
this
thread for some reading on the subject.

A possible solution is to create an XMP sidecar file instead of
writing to ARW. I think Lightroom should read such a file
if it exists.
