Image + Meta |
Set the image and metadata combination you intend to pass down the tree: • Image+Meta - add the metadata from the Meta input to the meta- data from the Image input. If the inputs share any common metadata keys, the values taken from the Meta input override those taken from the Image input. • Meta only - only use the metadata from the Meta input. • Meta+Image - add the metadata from the Image input to the meta- data from the Meta input. If the inputs share any common metadata keys, the values taken from the Image input override those taken from the Meta input. • Image only - only use the metadata from the Image input. This produces the same result as not using a CopyMetaData at all: both the image and metadata are taken from the Image input. This option can be useful if you want to filter the metadata passed down the tree. |
