<p>I have encountered an unfortunate interaction
between ExifTool and PSCS2.</p>
<p>This problem occurs when using ExifTool to copy
EXIF from .NEF source images to either .JPG & .TIF
target images. It does not seem to happen with .CRW-derived
images.</p>
<p>If I convert a .NEF to .JPG using ACR, it is
missing the maker notes. I can copy the EXIF data to it
successfully using ExifTool and restore the maker
notes.</p>
<p>If I now edit it in PSCS2, then it is again missing
the maker notes. However if now I try to restore them again,
ExifTool with fail with the error message:</p>
<p><i>"Warning: Entries in IFD0 were out
of sequence. Fixed. - xxx.jpg |
Error: Truncated SubIFD directory - xxx.jpg | 0 image files
updated |
1 files weren't updated due to
errors"</i></p>
<p>As a further test, I reconverted the .NEF to .JPG.
Before I copied any EXIF, I edited it in PSCS2. ExifTool was
able to successfully copy the EXIF data from the .NEF to the
edited .JPG. </p>
<p>However if I again edit the image in PSCS2, and
then try and copy the EXIF again using ExifTool, then the
second EXIF copy using ExifTool will fail.</p>
<p>So, here is the conclusion. For images derived from
a (D200) .NEF, once you've copied the EXIF data from the
.NEF to the derived image, then any further editing in PSCS2
will mean that you can't copy the EXIF using ExifTool any
more, unless you first using ExifTool to wipe the existing
EXIF from the derived image using:</p>
<p><i>"exiftool -exif:all=
xxx.jpg"</i></p>
<p>It's not clear whether this is a problem with
ExifTool, or PSCS2.</p>
<p>If I must wipe the EXIF from the target image
first, is there ExifTool syntax which will wipe the EXIF
from the target image and then copying EXIF from the source
to the target, all in one call to ExifTool?</p>
<p>Regards and thanks for a brilliant
script.</p>
