Manipulate photo exif data with python

[mcstieg]

Hello Alexey and everybody else,

I'd like to manipulate exif data of my photo set. Is this possible via python script?

I'm able to read data in a for loop. But how can I wrtie new data to the .jpg file?

If I do it like this, the data is overwritten in Metashape. But the original file doesn't change...

Code: [Select]

cameras[0].photo.meta["Exif/Make"]="test"

Hello mcstieg,

I think you need to use external Python modules that allow for modification of the EXIF tags/values (for example, PyExifTool), because Metashape doesn't allow to modify the metadata of the original images.

Another way - make external calls to the command-line utilities that allow EXIF data manipulation.
