exif manipulating utility?
After a trip I collected photos from several friends. Some of them have the
wrong file time stamp. Some also have wrong exif dates (not adjusted for time zone). Plus, I created jpg files that are actually text description of the location, and I want these descriptive jpg to be displayed in the right order among the photos. In order to view these photos on various platform (windows, iphone, ...) in the correct chronological order, I need to be able to (1) edit the exif dates in individual jpg file and (2) bulk copy exif dates to file dates of a bunch (3) copy exif dates into filename. This is because many photo viewer sorts by file name, some sorts by file dates, and a few can sort by exif dates. I want to name the files and set the file time stamps so that no matter which of the above fields are sorted, they would be displayed in the right order. Any suggestion on freeware for windows that can do the exif manipulations? |

I don't know if there is any such program, one that will meet all your challenges, but it seems to me "jhead", the command-line program might do some of it for you. http://softfive.com/jhead-2-90-exif-...pulation-tool/ -- Frank ess |

I've also seen notes that acdc or aseedsee or whatever it's called may do a lot of what you want. |

Any suggestion on freeware for windows that can do the exif manipulations? I've used "exiftool" for some things like this. I run FreeBSD, but a standalone Windows version is avaiable he http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ This is a command line utility and it can take a while to figure out. Someone else has put a Windows GUI on top of it (though I have not tried it): http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/fot...xiftoolgui.htm Ted -- ------ columbiaclosings.com What's not in Columbia anymore.. |

exif manipulating utility?
Any suggestion on freeware for windows that can do the exif
manipulations? XnView does these things. xnview.com Thanks to all who contributed. I am already using xnview but other than being about to sort by exif date, I don't see any other exif related feature. Perhaps I need to update to the latest version and try again. Or do I need to download a plug-in? I want to add that ipod touch (and therefore iphone, ipad) sorts photos using the exif date. Therefore manipulating exif dates is the only way to control sort order for ipod touch photo albums. Here's more details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221 The problem that I'm facing (mixing photos from different cameras with non synchronized time/date) should become more and more common as more people learn to share travel photos. |
