how to add copyright in RAW

[frederic chaume]

Fully agree not to write into Raw files, but for example when I apply 
geotag in a raw file , only XMP is updated and no new version of the RAW 
s created.
Was hopping to do the same for metadata ?

and during import , such operation would conduct to automaticaly create 
an XMP with such information ?


Regards
Frederic
