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.

Simetra7 said: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.
Simetra7 said: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.
ComputerGeek said:I am not sure about PS, but I think that there are apps that allow you to add data to the EXIF Data.
Simetra7 said:Any suggestions on where to find info on these?
