Title: Can't change one of two Orientation tags
Post by: den on May 15, 2013, 02:48:34 AM

Hello

I have some thing wired (to me) again... Some pictures have 2 Orientation tags and I can delete/change only one of them. I also tried to rebuild the Exif, but same thing.

Stuff I tried includes this:

Code Select


exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe "DSC_0011.jpg"
exiftool -a -n -Orientation=  -Orientation=  DSC_0011.jpg

And still, there is one Orientation tag left. How can I get ride of it? (I rotate the pictures after whit previous read Orientation.)

Thanks for any help!

You can delete/change the other Orientation tag by specifying IFD1:Orientation.

FAQ number 3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3) talks about this.

Thanks for your help! I totally ignored the 1 behind -G so far...
