Hi,
I have exiftool version 6.96.
It works great for my digital camera needs. I am at the beginning of a huge (for me) project of scanning in my 35mm negatives and converting to digital (.tif files).
I am trying to set the FileSource (-FileSource) to "Film Scanner" (Value of 1) per the following link:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/XMP.html
(Scroll down to "FileSource").
I've tried:
-FileSource=1
-FileSource=3
-FileSource="Film Scanner"
No matter what I try, the value is reported as:
File Source : Digital Camera
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
-=Glen=-

Re: Help with -FileSource Tag
Hi Bogdan,
Try updating to the most recent exiftool version. As of version 7.01
I allow you to set FileSource. Before that, I was forcing the value to
"Digital Camera" because that is the only legal value according to
the EXIF specification. Sometimes I wonder about the people who
wrote this spec.

Hi Phil,
Believe me, I'm up-to-date with ExifTool all the time :-)
But in this case, I simply didn't check for doing it another way -thank you for correcting me.
