| Newbie needs help with Makernotes |
|
Hi,
please pardon my lack of experience, but I can not figure out how to do this:
I lost the Makernotes information in about 600 images dear to my heart. This was caused by Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, which deletes the Makernotes if you edit a JPEG file and save it (at least in the JPEG of my Pentax K100D dslr and others reportes in the forums). BTW: Version 6.0 does the same.
So I am trying to put back essentially just one label LensType, because that is important to me. Alas, Makernotes can be written only as a block and I am asking how I should handle this task.
Makernotes has lots of other information, too, that a specific to the image. I do not need those but do not want to create a messy situation and contradictions in the Metadata.
Could I just copy the Makernotes from an intact file, zero out all fields and just keep LensType? How would I go about that. Or what would be the best way to put back the LensType field of Makernotes?
Any help appreciated.
Thanxx, Mixx
