How can I write exif data from a json-file into a jpg-image?

Question

I've created backups of exif information with

exiftool -j -w json picture.jpg

How can I now restore the exif information to the image file from the json-file?

Thanks

Maybe look at the man page? `-tagsFromFile` may do what you want... — PlasmaPower, Mar 19 '14 at 22:51
-tagsFromFile seems only to "copy" tags from one jpg to another. — Stefan, Mar 20 '14 at 21:01
Thanks. -tagsFromFile worked better for me. The -json option just won't import, at least on an mp4 file. — deltaray, May 28 '21 at 12:07

Ok found it. Might be interesting for others so I post it:

exiftool -json=picture.json picture.jpg

This writes the exif data from picture.json to picture.jpg

Thanx @Stefan - just what I was looking for. It doesnt make it very clear in `man` – joe_evans Feb 07 '21 at 20:48
