Keep backups on hand after cleanup to be able to recover from loss of data. Not all steps has been completely tested yet, so perform your own testing on copies of files before committing. The workflow is provided as is and is developed for Mac OS X and in particular UNIX-users in mind. and filter out (and store separately or give a postfix name) files like screenshots and videos.create a consistent folder hierarchy (YYYY/YYYYmmdd/YYYYddmm_hhmmss.ext).not loose metadata (or as little as possible).change filenames into a consistent one for files and folders.This is a workflow uses largely using ExifTool to clean up a folder structure of files and XMP sidecar files exported from iPhoto, Aperture and Lightroom and its purpose is to : The purpose of this workflow is to clean that up and start fresh. If you were really feeling hard as nails you could add -overwrite_original to the exiftool command and it would not keep original copies of all the files you have probably just ruined.Hjem Biografi Prosjekter Referanser / i media Bilder Bakgrunn Kolofon Thermo-Nuclear Tidy-Up of a digital photo collection Version 7, January 2016Īfter many many years of archiving pictures (I have 300K+ in my Lightroom archive now), changing software and doubling up on many files when moving to a new archive system, I have a lot of duplicates and junk in my image collection. The Newlines probably won't work in Windoze, don't know, don't care, Google probably knows. That command will write into the User Comments field ( which I can see in Lightroom ) something like : You could use exiftool to write tag values to data fields that ARE displayed by Lightroom:Įxiftool '- UserComment < Focus mode : $ The MakerNotes group is a real pickle, a can of worms, a nightmare realm that no sane person would ever enter - I spend a lot of time there, I am writing a frontend Mac app for Exfitool for normal human folks - if I survive, i will let you know the details. There are so many EXIF, and IPTC tags, Lightroom ain't not never gonna be able to display them all. Sorry mate but if you think typing exiftool -afmode is not easy then you are going to be dissapointed.
The easiest way to found out what tag names are lurking in your files is to just call exiftool with a filename, I like to use exiftool -G -t (filename) because it gives the Group names and outputs in tabbed format so I can work with the results. ( the dot will process all files in the current folder )
Just call exiftool with a list of the EXIF tags you want to display, let's say I wanted file name, raw image sizes, shadow tone, focus mode, and autofocus mode then this command:Įxiftool -filename -rawimagewidth -rawimageheight -shadowtone -focusmode -Afmode. Exiftool can be a bit scarey, it is amazingly powerful, but a really simple command will do what you want. I don't know much about how Lightroom deals with EXIF data but I would bet 27p that it does not display Maker Notes data.
