Hello everyone (and Phil :)
I'm trying to push exiftool a bit further. In my current workflow, I do a lot of manual tagging (adding keywords). There is two case where maybe exiftool could do the job and save me time:
- When detecting "would-be HDR" (High Dynamic Range / Pictures merging candidates): if I have 3 pictures at almost the same time (1-n sec), same meta, but (normally) just a light level difference (ExposureCompensation meta), add tags 'autotagged' 'hdr'
- When detecting "would-be panoramic merge" (later to batch with hugin): If I have a sequence of picture with a time difference less than n sec (usually 1-2), same other meta, add tags 'autotagged' 'pano'. A could-be problem is when I'm doing pano and also taking 2-3 shots w bracketing/different ExposureCompensation. Usually sequence is between 3 to 10 images (x3 if bracketing).
Any idea if it's possible ? or asking too much :-) ?
Thanks a lot.
Julien
Hi Julien,
This is asking a bit much for ExifTool alone, since ExifTool processes images individually. You would need some overseeing application to support the hdr/pano decision logic.

ok, no problem Phil :-)
I know I can be very demanding ;D
Thanks for the quick answer
