Public bug reported: exiftran should not be changing any exif data except the orientation tag and /or thumbnail, and probably image height / width. However the output file's exif data is being changed in unexpected ways, being filled with corrupt values.
Here is a diff of the before and after of the exif values of this file after the command exivtran -i -9 on this file: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/352146/exif_test/P1070321.JPG 10c10 < Exif.Image.ExifTag Long 1 418 --- > Exif.Image.ExifTag Long 1 634 14a15 > Exif.Photo.SensitivityType Short 1 1 27c28 < Exif.MakerNote.Offset Long 1 920 --- > Exif.MakerNote.Offset Long 1 1148 40c41 < Exif.Panasonic.InternalSerialNumber Undefined 16 57 58 57 57 32 48 48 58 48 48 58 48 48 0 0 0 --- > Exif.Panasonic.InternalSerialNumber Undefined 16 88 49 52 49 49 48 > 54 48 49 48 48 53 55 0 0 0 51c52 < Exif.Panasonic.BabyAge Ascii 20 --- > Exif.Panasonic.BabyAge Ascii 20 9999:99:99 > 00:00:00 63,65c64,66 < Exif.Panasonic.LensType Ascii 34 :99:99 00:00:00 < Exif.Panasonic.LensSerialNumber Ascii 14 < Exif.Panasonic.AccessoryType Ascii 34 --- > Exif.Panasonic.LensType Ascii 34 OLYMPUS M.45mm > F1.8 > Exif.Panasonic.LensSerialNumber Ascii 14 ABM234742 > Exif.Panasonic.AccessoryType Ascii 34 NO-ACCESSORY 71c72 < Exif.Panasonic.BabyAge Ascii 20 --- > Exif.Panasonic.BabyAge Ascii 20 9999:99:99 > 00:00:00 74,76c75,77 < Exif.Photo.PixelXDimension Long 1 3448 < Exif.Photo.PixelYDimension Long 1 4592 < Exif.Photo.InteroperabilityTag Long 1 8840 --- > Exif.Photo.PixelXDimension Long 1 4592 > Exif.Photo.PixelYDimension Long 1 3448 > Exif.Photo.InteroperabilityTag Long 1 9068 98,99c99,100 < Exif.Thumbnail.JPEGInterchangeFormat Long 1 8988 < Exif.Thumbnail.JPEGInterchangeFormatLength Long 1 6455 --- > Exif.Thumbnail.JPEGInterchangeFormat Long 1 9716 > Exif.Thumbnail.JPEGInterchangeFormatLength Long 1 6345 The proper values are those with the correct lens information.
