I am not aware of any method to edit EXIF data using DPP.

You will probably need EXIFTool

I have been able to add a comment to both a CR2 (RAW) file and a JPG using the Properties window of Canon ZoomBrowserEX (6.9.0.1). When I check the files back in DPP (4.10.50.1) using the Info pop-up window (Exif Information tab), the comment is still there, even though I did not do any Save action in ZoomBrowserEX.

Hope this helps

They don't even let you add IPTC data. I've had to use Irfanview for that.

Many thanks for the replies and the tips. I already use Windows Photoviewer properties dialog for JPGs which accepts comments but these are ignored by DPP and Zoombrowser unfortunately.
