![]() Officially, the app is in the “Alpha” stage of its development, and Georg has only tested with it JPG, ARW, ORF and RAF files, but in theory, it should happily support any file format that ExifTool does, and that list is extensive. The app is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. This could save you a lot of time in post over the course of hundreds or thousands of images shot with a particular lens. ![]() Having the lens tagged in each of your images means you can automatically apply these corrections when you bring an image up in LR/ACR. This tool allows you to profile your lens for things like vignetting, distortion, and other optical aberrations. ![]() If you’re adjusting the aperture throughout a session, or you’re using a zoom and regularly adjusting your focal length, it’s easy to lose track.īut beyond searching for images shot with a particular lens, why might you possibly want to add the lens to your EXIF data? Well, If you are a Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw user, you can create your own custom lens profiles using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator. I say “all you need to do”, but this could become quite challenging if you’re not taking notes for each of your shots. You can do an individual image, or batch multiple images based on a filename pattern. Note: It is not recommended to put ExifToolGUI.exe into directories owned by operating system (Windows and Program files), unless you know what you're doing. Just unzip ExifToolGUI.zip file into any directory, create Desktop shortcut and GUI is ready to use. Here, all you need to do is select your previously added lens from the dropdown list, choose your aperture and then write the EXIF data out to the images. ExifToolGUI You can download GUI from here. The next step of the process, once you’ve created the profile for your lens is to set up the specific parameters for your images. It understands the difference between primes and zooms, and you can even enter a lens serial number (handy if you have multiple copies of a lens). In the app, you add profiles for each of your lenses. ExifTool is quite powerful, but it’s a command line app, so not very intuitive. In its current form, says Georg, NameThatLens is essentially a GUI wrapper for the free software ExifTool. So, Georg developed his own tool, which is completely app independent as it injects the data straight into the file. If you use Capture One, Darktable, or something else, you’re out of luck. He discovered the LensTagger plugin for Lightroom, but this doesn’t help for everybody as it only works in Lightroom. Georg says he became frustrated with existing options.
