ImageMagick Preserve Exif Data

Question

I have a resizing function that does it's primary job right, but doesn't save the exif data that comes with the original image file. Everything seems to be correct until I call ->writeImage(); function, which seems to strip the exif data of the image.

$resizeimage= new Imagick($image);

$exifDataArray = $resizeimage->getImageProperties("exif:*");

$resizeimage->thumbnailImage($width,$height);

$resizeimage->setImageCompression(imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG); 
$resizeimage->setImageCompressionQuality(90); 

echo $resizeimage->setImageProperty('Exif:Make', 'BLABLABLA');

$resizeimage->writeImage();


$updated= new Imagick($image);
echo $updated->getImageProperty('Exif:Make');

Note that If I print_r($exifDataArray); it shows the exif data To make a change I put 'Exif:Make', 'BLABLABLA' and see if the new exif data is written on the image, and it is written correctly

but after I resizeimage->writeImage(); No more exif data is present on the image file.

Can anybody help? Is there any way to keep the exif data on the image?

It seems the error isn't there for the first time.

A workaround I use at the moment:

exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -tagsFromFile $source_file $converted_file
