Edit EXIF Data in NEF(s) on macOS?

[David H. Hartman]

I need advice on an EXIF editor for NEF files on macOS. The Apple app store has more than 20 offerings. I'd like to know what people here use as I trust you advice over dumb luck.

Earlier I install Phill Harvey's Exif Tool and successfully navigated to a folder and exported an NEF files' EXIF data to a TXT file. The process is unworkable. I can deal with a command line as I started with DOS 2.1. I would not dare try to edit the TXT file and apply it to the NEF file. The chance of error is too high.

What parts of the EXIF data do you wish to modify?

What parts of the EXIF data do you wish to modify?

I'm out of the habit of setting the non-CPU data so the EXIF will show 50mm f/1.2 where it should be 105mm f/2.5. The actual aperture used is not recorded. In some cases I might want to add GPS data.

Dave, slightly off topic, but your new Nikon Z8 can record voice clips. 

These voice clips may be handy for you if you do a voice  recording of what lens and aperture you are using so that you can go back and add the EXIF data later on.

Just a thought.

It might be a bit overkill just to edit EXIF data, but why not have a look at NeoFinder? Although it’s primarily a digital asset manager, it’s also very handy for editing EXIF data. Geotagging works very well too. And, as said, it’s also a comprehensive catalogueing tool.
