Editing a ".tiff"'s EXIF meta data:: x,y,z heading pitch and roll

[wvickery]

Hello,

I am new to this and I am trying to wrap my head around it.

I am looking into getting the photo scan software and it seems i am trying to figure out how to add the
X,Y,Z (position) and heading pitch and roll of my image (or camera) as well.

I am using this exif editor called EXIFTool  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/, and i don't understand how to do this.

Can any one help me out or have any useful ideas?

Many thanks,
William

Also using Exiftool, and have created my own tool for batch processing masks adding an alpha channel to Tiffs. Mainly using Exiftool for adjusting the orientation of an image. Example I can give is as so::

exiftool -Orientation="Horizontal (normal)" podrot.tif

Breakdown of command line ::

exiftool    -TAGNAME="info to be used"    "name and location of file to update"

Orientation info used by exiftool ::

Horizontal (normal)   
Mirror horizontal
Rotate 180
Mirror vertical
Mirror horizontal and rotate 270 CW
Rotate 90 CW               
Mirror horizontal and rotate 90 CW
Rotate 270 CW   

All images produced by my setup have an initial orientation value 'Rotate 90 CW'. So I rotate the image and reset the orientation tag.

When it comes to adding/editing for Geotag metadata this should help ::

Exiftool GUI for windows ::

Example of editing GPS data without using a log file or a gui ::

Other tools to look at, if you're using Linux, are ::

exiftran (used for lossless translation of Jpeg images and setting orientation metadata)
exiv2 (used to export EXV/XMP metadata from Raw,Tiff and Jpeg images, then allows you to merge the metadata back to a given file)

all tools mentioned are available via your distro's synaptic or software installer.
