Supported Metadata

exrTrader supports all of the metadata provided by LightWave 3D when using the exrTrader image loader and saver, the exrTrader image filter supports a selection of metadata.

The metadata written by the exrTrader image saver is provided by LightWave 3D. The metadata written by the image filter is generated by exrTrader.

The following two tables list the metadata tags as documented in the LightWave 3D SDK, their content and the equivalent attribute as saved and loaded by exrTrader.

The metadata supported by LightWave mirrors EXIF tags which have been designed for digital photography. Tags that don't apply to OpenEXR images have been omitted.

Basic Metadata

LightWave metadata tagDescriptionOpenEXR AttributeWritten by exrTrader image filter
LWIMPAR_ASPECTx / y Pixel Aspect.native
LWIMPAR_PIXELWIDTHActual (scanned)Pixel Width in (mm). xDensity
LWIMPAR_FRAMESPERSECONDNumber of Frames per Second. FramesPerSecond
LWIMPAR_BLACKPOINTBlack Point of Layer.
LWIMPAR_WHITEPOINTWhite Point of Layer. WhiteLuminance
LWIMPAR_GAMMA Linearity of RGB Color.always 1 1)
LWIMPAR_PIXELXDIMENSIONValid image width.native
LWIMPAR_PIXELYDIMENSIONValid image height.native
LWIMPAR_EXPOSURETIMEExposure time (reciprocal of shutter speed). Unit is seconds.ExpTime
LWIMPAR_FNUMBERThe actual F-number(F-stop) of lens when the image was taken.Aperture
LWIMPAR_ISOSPEEDRATINGSCCD sensitivity equivalent to Ag-Hr film speedrate. (int)IsoSpeed
LWIMPAR_DATETIMEORIGINALDate/Time of original image taken. This value should not be modified by user program. CapDate
LWIMPAR_FOCALLENGTHFocal length of lens used to take image. Unit is millimeter.FocalLength
LWIMPAR_MAKERNOTEMaker dependent internal data. Some of maker such as Olympus/Nikon/Sanyo etc. uses IFD format for this area.See table of Maker Metadata below
LWIMPAR_USERCOMMENTStores user comment.Comment ✔ editable
LWIMPAR_APERTUREVALUEThe actual aperture value of lens when the image was taken.
To convert this value to ordinary F-number (F-stop), calculate this value's power of root 2 (=1.4142).
For example, if value is '5', F-number is 1.4142^5 = F5.6.
Aperture
LWIMPAR_SUBJECTDISTANCEDistance to focus point, unit is meter.Focus
LWIMPAR_MAKEManufacturer of recording equipment.Make
LWIMPAR_MODELModel name or model number of recording equipment. Model
LWIMPAR_SOFTWAREName and version of the software used.Software
n/aName of the computer that has written the image 2) ComputerName
n/aTimezone offset for the capture date 3) UtcOffset
n/aUsernameOwner
