Create new EXIF camera "Make" field

[clpratt]

I have jpg files from some old cameras that do not have the EXIF  camera "Make" field, they have only camera "Model" field.
This means that my 2 level Data-driven category of Camera Make (level 1), Model (level 2) leaves these cameras in the Camera "other" category.
Is there a way to generate an EXIF "Make" field for these files.

Should be possible via the ExifTool Command Processor.
Use
-overwrite_original_in_place
-m
-IFD0:Make=Maker_here
{Files}

Or you could use the attached script to set the make and model.  You'll need to change the make and model variable values at the top of the script from

Code Select Expand

Const make As String = "My Camera Make"
Const model As String = "My Camera Model"

To what you want your camera make and model to be.  Afterwards IMatch will need to update itself for the changes made to the images by ExifTool.
