I've found nothing on this in many Web searches. Perhaps someone here can answer:
I'm writing a Java GUI to add EXIF metadata to digital images scanned from 4x5 negs. Once I get the hang of it, I will attempt to port it to Android for use in the field. The app creates a JSON file from the data entered into a dialog, then calls exiftool to add the metadata to the photo file. Everything works just fine (thanks, Phil Harvey!) except that nothing shows up in the "Owner" field in Photoshop CC File Info | Camera Data. I'm writing "OwnerName" (the camera owner, according to the EXIF specification) to the file with my name as the value and it shows up in File Info | Raw Data as an EXIF tag. But it won't display in Camera Data. I should add that the same thing occurs with files from my digital camera, but it has no facility for attaching an owner name that I've been able to discover. I've tried adding with exiftool, still blank "Owner". Is PS using some other field name? I tried changing the field name to "CameraOwnerName" because Phil's documentation says that's in the original EXIF spec, but that doesn't go into File Info | Raw Data. It only appears there if the field is "OwnerName", and nothing shows up under "Owner" in Camera Data. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Are you able to write that value in Photoshop? If so, check ExifTool FAQ #3. Write a unique value to it, then use the command exiftool -a -G1 -s FILE and see if you can find that value. That will let you know what field PS is using for Owner.
Unfortunately, I only have Lightroom 4 and I'm unable to find that field in it.

Unfortunately, like all the Camera Data fields in PS, it's read-only. But I
will check out your FAQ. Thanks!
