exif invalid after edit with AcdSee Pro 2

Hello,
after editing a picture from my Ricoh Caplio R2 the exif data is invalid.
Geosetter with exiftool can not write GPS data.

ExifTool.exe -L -EXIF:GPSSatellites="0" -EXIF:GPSLatitude=50.94074125 -EXIF:GPSLongitude=6.95738196 -EXIF:GPSLatitudeRef="N" -EXIF:GPSLongitudeRef="E" -EXIF:GPSMapDatum="WGS-84" -EXIF:GPSDateStamp=" +2008:02:21" -EXIF:GPSTimeStamp="20:23:56" -EXIF:GPSAltitude= -EXIF:GPSAltitudeRef= -IPTC:Country-P +rimaryLocationCode="DEU" -IPTC:Country-PrimaryLocationName="Deutschland" -IPTC:Province-State="Nor +drhein-Westfalen" -IPTC:City="K?ln" -IPTC:Sub-Location="Altstadt Nord" "E:\Fotos\Testaufnahmen\Ric +oh_R2\R0011431_AcdseeExif.JPG" Warning: [minor] Possibly incorrect maker notes offsets (fix by 26?) - E:\Fotos\Testaufnahmen\Ricoh +_R2\R0011431_AcdseeExif.JPG Error: [minor] Bad format (0) for MakerNotes entry 0 - E:\Fotos\Testaufnahmen\Ricoh_R2\R0011431_Acd +seeExif.JPG

In the original picture out of the camera Geosetter write the GPS data. In pictures edited with Exifer Geosetter write GPS data too.

original picture

original picture edited with exifer and GPS data with geosetter exiftool

original picture edited with Acdsee

Screenshot Hexdump with Geosetter. Field exifArtist edited with Acdsee Value exifkuenstler,invalid IFD

How can I fix the failure? Is this a bug in AcdSee Pro 2.0?
With other pictures Pentax,Canon I have no problems.

I cant look at your images until i get home next week, but you could try the -F option to fix the makernote offset problem, and -m if necessary to ignore any other problems. - Phil

Hello Phil,

in some case the option -F fix the problem.
Thanks I have add an other pictue with error. Perhaps the reason is the empty exifdescription.

Re: exif invalid after edit with AcdSee Pro 2

Hi Harald,

I'm glad -F fixed most of your problems. The image you attached has a problem with an invalid entry in IFD0, which is a major problem so exiftool can not be used to write to this image. The only way to fix a major problem like this is to make a copy of the image then remove all meta information from the copy (-all=), then use exiftool to copy all tags from the original (-F -tagsfromfile original.jpg -all:all).

- Phil
