Can Gimp save EXIF data in TIF files?
Posted: 11 Jun 2008 at 2:33 GMT
I downloaded recently Gimp 2.4.6 to edit nadir images.

Despite finding a few blogs or forums where users claim they can save EXIF data in TIF files, I cannot find the option anywhere in the save dialog and all files exported with Gimp have lost the EXIF data.

Does anybody know if there is a plugin to retain the EXIF data in TIF files?

Interesting. I checked again but version 2.4.6 definitely loses my EXIF data. Did you have to modify any settings in GIMP to retain EXIF data?
