DPP doesn't save EXIF in TIFF file

Hi,
when I Convert&Save a RAW file to an EXIF 8bit TIFF file I can't see the exif data in the TIFF output. Why? I would work in post production on a tiff file in order to have a better file than jpg.
Please tell me a possible workaround.
Thanks in advance for your help.

1. 16 bit tif.
2. Breezebrowser can extract the Exif from a RAW file and insert it into a tif.

Thanks for the reply but I need to work with 8-bit file because I use GIMP.I saw the proposed software but it should be better to use a simple workflow DPP directly towards GIMP.

I don't understand why DPP cannot allow to save EXIF data in a 8-bit TIFF file.

Not direct, but Irfanview will open 16 bit file and resave it as 8 bit.

So it's not possibile to save exif file in 8-bit TIFF file?

I'm afraid not.

So, I just did a Convert and Save to an Exif-8-bit tiff and there is Exif available. How much you can see depends on what you are using to view it -- but both DPP an Photoshop (Bridge) were able to bring up the Exif.

You are right, Tony. I wasn't at home when I answered before and accepted the question at face value instead of checking. My bad.

Heh! And how many times have you caught me!?

So then, the question goes back to the OP -- you should have exif in the file. If you can't see it with a proper exif reader, well, let us know!

My process is from DPP to GIMP and for jpeg no problem with the EXIF while with TIFF I don't see any kind of EXIF.

OK, when you do a Convert and Save to an Exif 8-bit tiff, then right-click it in DPP and click Info, what exactly do you see?

From DPP I can see all the exif data also in for the TIFF file. Out of DPP I can't see anything for the TIFF pictures.

OK, I can see the exif there in, say, Lightroom and Photoshop, so the question is why can't you see it in other readers, and I don't know the answer to that!

PhotoME also opens a tiff and reads the exif.

Just to complete the information my DPP release is the 3.10.2
