Hi Phil,

I just noticed in your Exif documentation, that WhiteBalance tag is listed twice: ID:xa403 and ID:xfe4e.
I've looked into Exif specs, but found nothing about xfe4e.. ?

Thanks for explaining
Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,

Only tags with underlined names are part of the EXIF standard. The following comment in the tag name documentation explains the 2nd WhiteBalance tag:

"(tags 0xfde8-0xfdea and 0xfe4c-0xfe58 are generated by Photoshop Camera RAW. Some names are the same as other EXIF tags, but ExifTool will avoid writing these unless they already exist in the file)"

I didn't read the notice at the beginning of page and also didn't pay attention that some tags are underlined and some aren't.
Thanks for clarifying

Bogdan
