"...to transfer select metadata to the image resulting from blending a bracketed sequence automatically instead of having to do it manually" ??? Which metadata are you talking exactly ? Gilles Caulier (In reply to comment #2) > Which metadata are you talking exactly ? Since most metadata of an auto exposure bracketing sequence are the same for all pictures of the sequence, like camera, lens, time/date, gps location, aperture, iso setting ... - I think it would make sense to copy all these to the new image. Probably the only difference between the pictures in the sequence should be the shutter speed. At the moment, I use exiftool to copy _all_ metadata of the middle image of the three-image sequence to the blended image. It doesn't really make sense to assign a fixed shutter speed to such an image, but this doesn't matter to me in practise. Afterwards, I also add a tag like "HDR/digikam's exposure blend" to keep track of the pictures I created with this tool. It would be nice if this could be done automatically to make this great tool even more useful! "HDR/digikam's exposure blend" ==> already done in XMP kipiplugins namespace ! http://www.exiv2.org/tags-xmp-kipi.html Code relevant is there : http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/expoblending/manager/actionthread.cpp#415 It will be appreciate to see a patch about corrected and backported metadata from original images to target image.
