Title: Writing multiple jpgs to a single DNG
Post by: shakesbeery on August 17, 2018, 02:30:29 PM
Hi all,

Here's my situation: I have a group of images (from focus stacking) that I'd like to save as a single DNG file. The JPGs are just raw color data--so there is no metadata. Luckily, for each group I have a list of all the necessary tags and their values which are needed to write a coherent DNG file. I think I can convert the tag data to an xmp file, but how do I go about putting everything together so it saves to one file?

Thank you!

Exiftool doesn't deal with image data, just the metadata.  It can't convert image files.  You'll have to look into something else to do that

Ah, OK. That's an important distinction.  :-[ Thank you!
