How can I add copyright info to an image using Canon DPP4?

dpsaiz — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 14:14:11 GMT

As I have previously mentioned I bought a 1Ds MkII. This camera doesn't have the functionality to add copyright information to the image from the camera so I have to add it via software.

Canon DPP4 is what I have. How can I add copyright info to an image using DPP4?

Thanks!

Both my 1Ds and my D30 have a post in Exif called Owner name.

For 1Ds I needed FireWire that I don't have, but I used Gphoto2 to add my name in D30.

gphoto2 --set-config /main/settings/ownername="Peter"

I suggest exiftool. If using Windows, the quoting on the command line will be different than in Linux or MacOS. Exiftool is free software. https://exiftool.org/

exiftool -copyrightnotice='Copyright John Moyer, all rights reserved' *.JPG

will write a copyright notice to the meta data. The same may be done for all of the IPTC data.
