PNG Metadata not readable

Marcus Hoffmann
Hi Together, I am changing the Metadata of png images with HoudahGeo and EXIF Editor. Capture One recognizes no changes within the metadata. Even if i use the "Update metadata" function in the context menu.

    If you have changed the metadata using an app outside Capture One (for instance to change a faulty time and date) you can right click and choose "load metadata" (I don't know of an "update metadata" option). If you have changed a value that was previously stored within Capture One, you should see a message that tells you that there is a metadata conflict, and asks you whether you want to retain the value stored in Capture One or load the external metadata. Whether it works with PNG files I don't know, not having tried it. What are you trying to change? I have found changing times (typically when I have forgotten to reset the camera time on a change of timezone, or the end of daylight saving time) that there is more than one place in the EXIF data that records a date and time, and I have to be sure to change the one that Capture One is picking up.
