SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the ability to add metadata to images in Photoshop when using older lenses with a digital SLR camera. Users noted that the camera does not automatically record lens information in the metadata. It was confirmed that while Photoshop may not directly support this feature, there are third-party applications available that can edit EXIF data, allowing users to manually input the desired settings. Recommendations for tools to accomplish this were also sought by participants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of EXIF data and its significance in photography
  • Familiarity with Photoshop's metadata editing capabilities
  • Knowledge of digital SLR camera operations
  • Experience with third-party software for metadata editing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research EXIF data editors such as ExifTool and Photo Mechanic
  • Explore Photoshop's metadata editing features in detail
  • Learn about the implications of manually editing EXIF data
  • Investigate compatibility of various lenses with digital SLR cameras
USEFUL FOR

Photographers using older lenses with digital SLR cameras, digital asset managers, and anyone interested in enhancing image metadata for better organization and information retention.

I am asking this question on behalf of my brother who has just purchased a digital SLR camera. He would like to know if it is possible to add settings in photoshop metadata that his camera doesn't with his older lenses.

like what?
 
Any. Can the metadata be added to or changed in any way. When he uses his older lenses on the camera the information from them is not recorded in the metadata and he wants to add it manually.

I am not sure about PS, but I think that there are apps that allow you to add data to the EXIF Data.
