-json and -jpgfromraw

[ludde_t]

Hi,
Trying to get exiftool to both extract -jpgfromraw and -json exif output in the same command but I am failing miserably. Is it possible?
Thanks!

To clarify the goal is not having to run exiftool twice on the same image to both extract the preview and get the exif-data...

All you need to do is add the -b option.

Thanks for the reply!
exiftool -json -b -jpgfromraw test.nef > test.jpg
Successfully generates the preview-jpg but does not output the json as
exiftool -json test.nef. does

What am I doing wrong? Want to capture the json to parse it with PHP and add it to a db..

[Phil Harvey]

Remove the -jpgfromraw to extract all tags.

Thanks, but the end goal is to do both? Trying to avoid doing both
exiftool-b -jpgfromraw test.nef > test.jpg
exiftool -json test.nef

But achieving the same result? E.g parsing the json and getting a preview-jpeg outputted to a file..?

[Phil Harvey]

This command extracts both:

exiftool -json -b test.nef

but you'll have to write the JpgFromRaw to file yourself (after decoding from base64, which should be easy).

Thanks! Finally figured it out. Was easy when i figured the base64 was prefixed..

Glad you figured it out.
