Software to print contact sheet with very detailed EXIF data

Hi everyone,

I've searched all the Internet sites and previous ng posts but have not
found any software to do what I want.

I took a lot of pictures over the holidays of my Christmas tree and of
people in a low light room using various settings on my camera. There were
just candles, a single lamp, and a Christmas tree that was all lit up. I
wanted to find the best combination of settings.

Now I want an easy way to compare all the settings of the best photos.

I really like the ZoomBrowser / PhotoRecord feature that prints some of the
EXIF data on a contact sheet of prints. It includes basic stuff like shutter
speed, aperture setting, exposure compensation, focal length, and flash.

But it's missing a lot of important data. In particular I would like to find
software that also prints the following on contact sheets:

Shooting Mode such as Program, Night, Auto, etc
Light Metering such Evaluative, Spot, etc
ISO Speed such as Auto, 50, etc
White Balance such as Auto, Tungsten, etc
AF Mode such as Manual Focus, Auto
Photo Effect such as Vibrant, Low Sharpening, etc

Does anyone know of any software that would print these items along with the
thumbnail images?

I have so many images to evaluate that copying and pasting the EXIF is not
an option. And I know most people would be happy with settling for the ones
that came out great. But I want to know all the settings I used so I can
repeat this in similar circumstances.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

It's clunky in a way- you use the program to generate an html page of
thumbnails. But you can select pretty well any piece of the exif
information that you want to be included under the thumbnail. It's
been a while since I used it; I think that finding and selecting the
exif selection was a bit of search through some submenu. Maybe the
interface has been cleaned up since the 2.xx version.

Thank you, Dan! This sounds like what I might be looking for so I'm going to
give it a try. I'll let you know how it works out.

It's a very nice program and the html page looks great. But it's too bad it
doesn't quite do the job. The thumbnails include Light Metering and ISO. But
I'm looking for a little more detail. The thumbnails don't include Shooting
Mode, White Balance, AF Mode, or Photo Effect. AEB (exposure bracketing)
setting is another I'm looking for.

I also tried entering the custom fields for Canon such as "Flash =",
"Flash=", and "Flash:" but none of them work. I guess that's because the
EXIF data is not in APP12 format.

Just a thought, what about renaming the files with all the specific info you
like to see?
The file names will be rather large but with this you could use lots of
software that prints the file name in the index print.

Huh? I used to be able to print info like that. Maybe they removed
that feature? Too bad. I hope you find something that works for you.
