Hi all--
I am sure this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but I am looking to convert existing metadata to the namespace "XMP-tiff". In particular, I know my files already have BitsPerSample, SamplesPerPixels, ImageLength, ImageWidth, Compression, XResolution, and YResolution, but I need to change them into the XMP-tiff group; in particular, I actually only want these converted, not all of my tags.
Do I use the "tagsfromfile" command? Or a different one?
Thanks in advance.
If you only want those specific tags, then you would have to convert them individually e.g. "-XMP-tiff:TAG<EXIF:TAG". But I'd suggest trying "-XMP-tiff:all<EXIF:all" first. That would cover all XMP-tiff tags, though it might include a few other tags than the ones you listed. Sorry, I'm not taking the time to look up all the tags in the XMP-tiff group and comparing them to your list ;)
That example is part of the exif2xmp.args file found in the main distribution. It can also be found on Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/p/exiftool/code/ci/master/tree/arg_files/exif2xmp.args).
