Hello,
I would like to embed the tiff compression type (g4, g3, uncompressed, jpg, lzw etc) into an exif tag, so I can later find them with an other application (irfanview or imagemagick) and convert them accordingly.
Is there anyone who knows if this is possibile with exiftool?
thanks a bundle,
Michel

Yes, this can be done (as long as the compression type is in the
list of possibilities. See the "Compression" tag in the
EXIF
tag name documentation for a complete list.
But you should be careful when playing with protected tags
such as this since they may affect the way an image is
rendered.
