Canon's DPP and stacked images

[Grumps]

I have noted that when using Tools -> Depth compositing the resultant JPG has nearly all EXIF data omitted (no camera model, no lens info, etc.) The only remaining data is the programme name (DPP), the pixel counts (dimensions, width and height), the vertical/horizontal resolution rate, the bit depth, the resolution unit and the colour representation. No camera data.

I could (of course) put this info back in with exiftool.

I could (of course) modify the camera data on old JPGs (taken with a 5dii) to falsely represent the image as taken with e.g. R5.

Such is EXIF data. If it is digital it can be changed.

Not that anyone here would even contemplate such a thing. But it appears that posting images from DPP's depth compositing tool may need their EXIF data touching up to comply with rules.

I do not use DPP for Focus Stacking because it doesn't allow RAW images created from multiple-exposure shooting. Perhaps that is why DPP is free.

I have had "some" success with using Lightroom (general editing) and "Open in Photoshop as layers", but more times than not... nothing happens. So I use Photoshop only: Edit > Scripts > Load Files into Stack...

As a side note: If I post a photo that had been stripped of EXIF, I just include it in the description... because I'm lazy.
