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.
