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.

possible to use ExifTool to insert GPS Data into PSD file?
Hello,
I am a photographer creating panoramas from multiple TIF-Files (with GPS-Data in EXIF header).
After merging the TIF-images into a panorama the EXIF information is not in the output file anymore since the stiching process involves several files and typically EXIF-Data cannot be combined.

I am wondering now if there is a way to use ExifTool to 'create' an EXIF-Header in the output file (is TIF and/or PSD)?
This would allow me to use an image file as reference and insert its GPS-Data into the output file.
The idea is to have an ExifTool-command-line(s) to process the output files as the are created.

Any suggestions are most welcome. Please feel free to contact me to obtain further information.
Thank you for your attention.
Hans

Re: possible to use ExifTool to insert GPS Data into PSD file?
Yes, exiftool can be used to copy exif information to TIFF and PSD images:

exiftool -tagsfromfile SRC -exif:all DST

where SRC is the source image file, and DST is the destination image. Either image may be of any supported format (JPEG, TIFF, PSD, etc).

Using -exif:all copies only the exif information, but you can copy any other information you want too (you may want to also either copy the XMP information with -xmp:all, or write the EXIF to XMP with "-exif:all>xmp:all").
