[Digikam-users] Re: GIMP and metadata

[Dmitri Popov]

As a workaround, you can save a backup copy of the original photo and edit the original in the GIMP. Use then the Image -> Metadata -> Import EXIF command in digiKam to copy the metadata from the backup photo to the modified original. This is not the most elegant solution, but it's better than nothing.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Dmitri

Subject: [Digikam-users]  GIMP and metadata



This is question somewhat related to DK...but not 100%.

How do you guys do to re-write the metadata that is lost after opening files with GIMP? Or to prevent it from being lost.

As part of my workflow, I pass some pictures from digiKam to GIMP for further enhancement. Every time I do this all the tag, labels, etc are lost. 

Any work around?

Thanks.
