IM cannot reat Exif data from RAW files

Post by jn0101 »

If convert raw file from f.ex. a canon eos 350D(CR2-file) to a jpg
file by using Camera raw from Adobe Photoshop and then use the command:

identify -verbose _mg_3100.jpg

I get this result all these exif data:

Exif:ApertureValue: 6643856/1000000
Exif:Artist: unknown
Exif:CustomRendered: 0
Exif:DateTime: 2008:02:26 15:05:09

If I do this command on the original cr2-file: identify -verbose _mg_3100.CR2,
then I get this result, which contains no exif-data:

Why can't ImageMagick 6.3.8 read the exif data from a CR2-file?

What might be the time horizon for IM to be able to read exif data from RAW images?

(If I try to convert a CR2 to DNG file it is still imposible to the exif data.)

ImageMagick reads the EXIF profile for CR2 images under Unix/Linux but not Windows. We are working on a solution but do not have an ETA at this time.
