Re: [Openexr-devel] EXIF meta data attributes in headers

[Thomas Mansencal]

To be honest with you either way I don't mind, I have no particular preferences. I just feel that being able to embed exif data is important. We are doing that at work but this is not using any standards since they don't exists. 

Regarding XMP how would you do that, serialize / dump everything in an OpenEXR attribute?

Thomas,

Why not use XMP instead?

XMP includes all of EXIF + Dublin Core ++

Hi,

I'm resurrecting that thread after 7 years, I basically wanted to know if there has been more discussions about that matter in the recent years.

The fact there is no standard attributes for common camera data prevents a bit the format to be used as a solid input container for photo processing applications or anything relying on EXIF data. For instance if you want to stitch EXR files with PTGui you will have to enter your data manually.

I think it would be really important trying to establishing a standard list of attributes as suggested by Thomas Lock, the exrstdattr already provides a list of them, maybe completing / updating this one?

Cheers,

Thomas
