[Digikam-users] How to add some EXIF metadata to a tiff file?

[Ari El]

For the record (and for newbies like myself :), to install ExifTool in Ubuntu
Edgy, you need to install the package libimage-exiftool-perl

Then to change a Tiff's resolution (dpi) you can do:

exiftool -ResolutionUnit="inches" -XResolution=300 -YResolution=300 
my_image.tiff
