Editing of selected fields is easy once you know how.
#EXIF EDITOR RAF SOFTWARE#
My computer and this software took about 7 minutes to complete the task. I edited in my name to the "artist" and "copyright" fields and added a short generic description, having highlighted 485 files. Batch processing is allowed and seems to me to be very powerful. Perhaps a better Help facility is needed. Many of the lines are data from unknown parameters.ĮxiftoolGUI is less easy to pick up, but I think I've got the hang of it now.
I exported all the data to a text file (another easy to use menu) to find some 300 lines of information (funnily enough no camera temperature for my Canon 40D). I'm not sure whether batch processing is currently available, but this is a 0.8 beta version, so batch work may come in the future. Many of the fields have mouseover help to say what they are. Entries in blue can be (partially) editted or present further data. Simply open the image file and the metadata is presented in a scroll down display or via tabs at the top of the menu. PhotoMe is very easy to use with an excellent GUI. It seems to me that, currently, these are the two front runners for retrieval and editing of EXIF information. Hi All - I've had a chance to look at PhotoMe and to compare it with Exiftool (the GUI version). Click this to get a picklist of the tabs, so you don't have to scroll left and right. At least in the more recent releases (PSE8, CS4, CS5), there's a useful navigation tip: on the far right at the top beside the tabs, there's a down-pointing arrowhead or triangle. Under the "File" menu, choose "File Info." It has tabs for various presentations of information. One warning: I've read that although the dialog offers editing, editing and saving can corrupt the data. Simply right-click on the image, and choose "Properties." In the dialog that comes up, choose the "Details" tab to see EXIF data.
#EXIF EDITOR RAF WINDOWS#
In Windows 7, that I know of, and I believe XP and Vista, will display some EXIF data. There are similar add-ons for IE and Chrome, but I don't use them, so I won't comment. It only does jpg images, and allows only minimal configuration. Once it's installed, just right-click on the image, and you see the EXIF data if it's available. David's description is here.Īnother nice thing about ExifTool that I hadn't discovered is that it will scan all the images in a directory and sub-directories: Tim wrote that up here.įxIF is a Firefox add-on for viewing EXIF data of an image from Firefox. One of the cool things he discovered is that the EXIF includes the camera temperature, which doesn't even appear anywhere I can find in the "File Info" in Adobe. David went out and found it himself (which prompted me to think we should have a thread like this), and he also found a nice GUI that sits in front of it, ExifToolGUI. This is a tool for looking at the data in an image file on local disk. There are various ways to see the EXIF data, useful in different contexts, for your own images and images seen elsewhere. There was a discussion about that in this thread. If you don't see EXIF data attached to an image at CiC, it's because it got deleted as part of the processing. When we're thinking of commenting on an image, if we wonder if the shutter speed was a little slow, presto! the EXIF tells us what it was.
It's very convenient when the EXIF data is attached to an image, especially here.
As an image is processed, editing software will often add to the information. As most people reading this probably know, a digital camera normally stores information about things like exposure and white balance, but also various housekeeping information, like (sometimes) shutter activations. Please add any more information you have about EXIF data, especially useful tools.ĮXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format ( Wikipedia article), and describes how metadata is added to image files. I've put a simple intro here, and listed the tools I'm familiar with. Dave has promised to add to " useful and informative threads," so we can keep this for everyone to reference.
#EXIF EDITOR RAF HOW TO#
It would be nice to collect information in once place about EXIF data: how to access it, including tools, and what's available.
