still no luck but thanks for the feedbacks The coloerpilot seems to be a paid service and I cant justify it I have a 6-700 $ program (photoshop cs2 ) and I think thats enough for now The problem in brige is when selecting metadata tab and select exposure info to try and change it, it will not and I seem to keep reading in my research on this that they are "read only" files . A 3rd party plug in like "colorppilot farm" exif editor should be the right stuff. I also tried "infraview" and it seems to be able to batch process lossless JPG only not raw . Maybe trying to work in raw and submit raw files to the client is too much to ask with photoshop .
As far as not being able to imagine a use for this exposure info and all the other info included in this metadata I would let you know I am in a situation not of my choosing . I do not want my client to eliminate my position or contracts with him and he is taking any info I give up ( such as exposure info ,techniques , and anything ) to imitate the shots and then do it himself .I offered my service and products (files on disc ) to him , just not the photography lessons . buy an automatic camera and everyone's a professional. Until they realize what you trained and paid for ( your experince ) to be a professional photographer is a whole lot more than just the camera. Thats when they start becoming very interesed in technique and try to mimic the photography , they feel they can do themselves.
Seems when money gets involved in anything you need to fircely protect your position and ideas and intellectual property or it WILL be stolen and you taken for granted or worse. Any expensive lawyer ( and let's face it they are All expensive ) will tell you how difficult this actually is . Let's just hope we all learn this sooner rather than later .
I did also try this fix below but am still not able to make it work in bridge or any other application:
Some photographers may not want clients accessing all this EXIF
information. They may not necessarily like others to know when an
image was made, or the time taken between shots, or even the type of
camera used.
Software is available that can strip EXIF data out. The Adobe Studio
Exchange (
www.adobe.com/studio) have a free JavaScript for Photoshop
called StripExif that will remove all metadata including IPTC. To
use this in Photoshop CS2 you may need to rename the extension from
.js to .jsx.
I think when I tried the above link it forwarded me to the macromedia site .
