Transfer Existing Exif Data to another JPG

[tadej]

Hi,
Sometimes it is good to have just a portion of the original image (area of interest) and save that as a new image.
I am wondering if there is any chance for an easy way to transfer/write all (or most relevant ones) Exif tags found in the original image to a new (cropped) image?
Sure, the new image size tags should reflect the new width/height. The Thumbnail image can be ignored.

See the second example under Copying Examples. That will copy all EXIF, IPTC IIM/Legacy, and XMP (IPTC core/ext) tags that exiftool can copy.

Hi, the suggestion reads like a magic touch. Thanks.

@StarGeek: How do you find the link anchors in the documentation so (seemingly) easily?

Any time I have to look one up, I save it in my clipboard history program.



Then I just have to type the word "option" and the actual option and it's ready to paste into the post.

@StarGeek: Wow, that's not easy.

I thought maybe you used some anchor display add-on, like this, but that was for Chrome, which I don't use.

I have a Display Anchor extension as well.  That's how I get the links in the first place.  Once grabbed, into the clipboard history they go for the next time it's needed.

I also have a short script that coverts these BBCode links into the link format used on StackExchange and Reddit.

Nice.
