mydirectorypath is the full path to the folder containing the relocated originals, for example "~/Pictures/originals", if you relocate the images to a folder "originals" in your Pictures folder. The Nikon strings have to be replaced by the make, model, and lens of your camera. It should look like this in the Terminal window: Note: The Terminal commands given above are actually only four lines of code - even if they appear wrapped around over more lines. Then I open a Terminal window (From Applications > Utilities) and enter for example the command(s) - to set the lens on my old Nikon F2 scans:Įxiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -preserve "-Make= Nikon" /mydirectorypathĮxiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -preserve "-Model= Nikon F2" /mydirectorypathĮxiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -preserve "-Lens= Nikkor 1:3,5 f=55 mm" /mydirectorypath To relocate, select the images in the Browser and use "File > Relocate Originals". ![]() So I relocate the originals to a folder, where I can access them from the Finder, if the originals are not already referenced. The original master image files need to be accessible to the terminal commands. Once it is installed, I use the Terminal to add lens data and camera make to scanned images. To put the camera information into scanned images I use the commandline utility exiftool. I prefer the image tags to describe the camera that I used to take the shot, and not the scanner that was used to scan the slide. ![]() But what if these tags are wrong? For example, if you scan slides, the scanned image will show the exif data describing the scanner and not the camera data you used to take the picture. ![]() ![]() This is fine, as long as an image has these tags, and they are correct. Aperture does not provide tools to modify the exif tags, that are supposed to be set by the camera, like lens information, camera make, etc.
