Searching for a field with crop

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

I am searching for an _own_ field, maybe xmp, but not something like one of the comment fields and I don't care where, to put in a value like. "1.52". I try to explain, what this value is for. Assume you took a shot with a focal length of 100mm with a given resolution. Then I crop the photo by cutting of the border. The result would be the same as the photo has been taken with 100*1,52=152mm and original resolution. (of course the resolution is now smaller because of the crop, it is a theoretical value). I have found xmp-fields like CropBottom, but no field which fits for this. I would like to use existing fields, not an own xmp-field. Any ideas? I nead this field for a query later.

I would calculate the new EXIF FocalLengthIn35mmFormat and write the appropriate value for this tag.

But if you want to store the cropfactor value directly, you could easily create a user-defined XMP tag to do just that. See the config file for examples. Or if you want to steal an existing tag, maybe something like XMP:Rating?

Re: Searching for a field with crop

Thanks Phil! Is there anywhere a field for "digital zoom"?

There is a DigitalZoomRatio tag in EXIF and XMP.
