Exif and sharpening

t asikainen · Apr 11, 2003

Is there a program that shows the sharpening setiing from 5050's exif data?

Camedia master shows only soft, hard and normal. I checked ACDSee and IrFAn view but didn't find number that could match my settings.

Thanks

Tested that, but it gives no sharpness setting info at all.

I tested also ExifReader ( http://www.takenet.or.jp/%7Eryuuji/minisoft/exifread/english/ ) that had more info, but only soft, normal and hard for sharpness setting instead of the whole camera scale from -5 to +5.

Best exif reader to me was Exifer ( http://exifer.friedemann.info/ ), but sharpness info was still soft, normal and hard.

Maybe 5050 does not store exact camera sharrpness (or contrast and saturation) value to exif?

I suspect it is more that the EXIF standard only defines 3 values for tag 0xA40A, which is the tag used for recording sharpness (0 == normal, 1 == soft, 2 == hard). It may be that Olympus records the value it uses somewhere in the Olympus specific fields.

PhotoImpact 8 shows the sharpening, contrast and saturation data settings from the 5050. I have the sharpening and contrast each set at -1 per recommendations I read here, but PI8 just shows 1, 1, and 2 for saturation.
