Copying Canon CR2 metatdata to TIFF's
Phil, I'm trying to copy EXIF and IPTC data from a tagged CR2 to a TIFF version. I'm using -tagfromfile and -all:all but there are tags missing in the TIFF. All IPTC values are missing along with 2 EXIF tags - Lens and LightValue.
Is there an additional option to copy IPTC values?
Not sure why these 2 specific EXIF tags are missing.

Re: Copying Canon CR2 metatdata to TIFF's
LightValue is a Composite tag, not EXIF. There is a DNG Lens tag which could be written to the EXIF, but since you're not talking about DNG files, I think you're probably talking about another Lens tag here. As for the IPTC, it should be copied.

I can figure out what is going on if you send me the image and tell me the command line you are using. (my email is phil at owl.phy.queensu.ca)
