Today I use ExifChanger for this which itself uses exiftool as I understand it. Thanks for the tip, I will certainly try this to see if I like it. By having multiple copies of the script, it is easy to set relevant lens information for different lenses.Īfter the relevant script is selected from the 'Scripts' menu, a dialog will ask what aperture value it should set.įinally, the script calls exiftool with the lens information and reloads the file metadata from the RAW. The original RAW file does not contain information on the lens, which is evident from the METADATA tool and the watermark. The script contains lens-relevant information and calls exiftool from Capture One.

PS: Anyone know how to cross-post to the Post-processing forum? I hope this helps, be sure to leave a comment if you run into problems! See the images included below for an example. I suggest keeping backups until you are certain that everything works as intended. If you remove the option '-overwrite_original_in_place' on line 16, exiftool will make a backup of the original RAW file and place it next to the modified file. If exiftool is installed somewhere besides /usr/local/bin/exiftool, change the path accordingly on line 16.ĭISCLAIMER: The script changes the exif data of RAW files, which in extreme cases may cause file corruption. Also, open each script using 'Script Editor' (included in MacOS) and edit the lens information in the first four lines of the file. You should make one copy of the script per lens, and change the file name accordingly. The script must be placed in the C1 script folder, which can be opened by selecting 'Scripts > Open Scripts Folder' from the menu in C1. Using some web searches and fiddling with the AppleScript functionality of Capture One Pro on Mac, I found a way of calling exiftool and setting lens metadata without having to leave C1. However, the program exiftool allows for editing this metadata, albeit in a rather cumbersome way via the command line. Unfortunately, Capture One Pro 10 does not allow the user to edit lens-related exif information directly. However, the lack of lens-related EXIF information has been annoying me somewhat. Like many here I enjoy using alt lenses on my mirrorless system. Adding lens metadata directly from Capture One Pro 10 (Mac).
