Can information be added to a TIFF metadata?

[Jmarmck]

I was wonder if and how I could add things like film type, developing method, lens, camera, settings could be added to the metadata of a TIFF scan?

Yes, there are a number of ways of doing this.
Google* for "exif editor".
If you use Lightroom, there are plugins for this purpose.
I use exiftool and exiftoolgui, again a bit of googling will come up with the goods for you on these.

*other search engines are available

Thanks! I will look for the Lr plugins. I have something called PhotoME but the options to add data fields are greyed out.

Photoshop and Bridge offer this ability, Bridge even as batch processing.

Really?? Where in bridge? To add lens and f/stop data and film info?

I once spent 2 whole days trying to find this on bridge and LR

My favorite simple editing program, which I use when I don't need to open Photoshop, is Faststone. It's free, and does many of the editing things I need to do in full screen mode, with most of the tools on the margins as pop-in windows, the rest available as right-clicks. It's especially good on sharpening and jpg compression, and has all of the basic editing tools. Did I mention that it's free? :-)

When in full-screen editing view, on the right there's a (hidden pop-out) panel for exif editing.

"File" -> "File info..."

Or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shft+Alt+I

There is probably no dedicated box for development data, but you can put it in one of the "description" boxes.
