photo workflow hell
Once upon a time, I shot all my photos in JPEG, and occasionally managed to find time to post them. Then, I was convinced to start shooting in RAW to have more control over the outcome. Once I did that, I was on a slippery slope, of course. A few months later, someone introduced me to photo processing plugins, particularly Topaz Adjust and DeNoise. Happy with the visuals, I added those into my already-overburdened workflow. And then, recently, for reasons I can't determine, the Topaz plugins started completely obliterating the EXIF data from the photos I use them to process. EXIF data, like GPS coordinates and timestamps in particular, are really important to me. After a few hours of banging my head against the wall of unhelpful internet discussion forums, I arrived at the solution pictured here. I now have to run a command-line utility called 'exiftool' and manually copy the EXIF data from the originals to the edited copies once I'm done tweaking.
Maybe I should just go back to JPEGs...
