gwpics Posted July 14 Share #1 Posted July 14 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Quick question if I may - i have my M240 set to shoot .dng + b&w .jpeg with (I think) yellow filter applied. How can I check when I import the jpeg whether the yellow filter has been applied? I can see nothing in the exif file. Thanks!

250swb Posted July 14 Share #2 Posted July 14 (edited) What software are you using? If it's ACR open the dng and convert it to B&W and see if the JPEG looks different, like a darker sky or lighter grass tones. Better still open the dng in ACR and convert it to B&W and then use the B&W mixer to add filter effects instead of relying on the JPEG.

I want to be able to look back over a period of time and see whether I applied the digital yellow filter to the jpeg file or not. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Michel Posted July 14 Share #5 Posted July 14 If you are using Lightroom, FILTER is not shown in the metadata. Perhaps the FILTER is in the exif. There are a number of tools available to view the exif, search for 'extract exif' or such and pick one of those tools. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted July 14 Share #6 Posted July 14 B&W + contrast filter being a jpeg feature i'm not sure it can appear in raw converters or exif data. All i can say is i have never seen it in exif data in 10+ years but i rarely use this feature so i may be missing something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry The method I use to know what was used with which camera and when is to name the individual folders - themselves each in an 'overall' folder - into which the DNG files are downloaded at the end of each outing. Here's an example from a wander around the Westminster area a few weeks ago. Main Folder Title (seen at the top-left of the screengrab) gives date and location. Inside this the individual sub-folders are dated and info shows camera, lens and filter (if any) used. Welcome, dear visitor!

Periodically these primary folders are dowloaded onto portable hard-drives (usually three of them) where there will be an umbrella folder which contains all folders taken in any one calendar year. At the moment, obviously, they go into a folder named 'Leica 2025 ALL FILES'. Rather long-winded but seems to work better - in terms of being able to find particular images - than any other system I've tried previously...
