What's an easy way to enter EXIF data?

I have tried to burn such a watermark via "Exifer" but this is limiting because the watermark image extends to only half the width of the photo, and then the text wraps, even though there is still plenty of room left for a single line. This wrapping obscures some of the image. Is there some way in "Exifer" to cancel this wrapping? I wouldn't burn it into the image if I were you because someday you may want/need that image without it. I'd try to find a slide show app which will display the data. Again, Irfanview is the solution, it can be set up to display any EXIF or IPTC data on the fly in full screen mode. I have it set up to show date, dimensions, focal length, shutter/aperture and exposure compensation in the corner of the screen for purposes of reviewing new images, though in fact you can also just press 'E' to pop up a box showing all EXIF details. You can also burn Irfanview to a CDROM with the images to create a self- contained slideshow disk to give to other people. I assume the customised display settings can be included in such a disk though I haven't tried it. -- __________________________________________________ _____ We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. --Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962. __________________________________________________ _____ |

I'll keep looking. |

What's an easy way to enter EXIF data?
I have tried this and it works OK.
I use the Exifer 'slide show' to scan thru the photos and the use 'CtrlE' to edit the EXIF fields. And the template works OK too. Is there any way to force the EXIF edit dialogue box to open at a specific tab? And is there a way to have the saved template data appear automatically in the EXIF-edit fields for the next photo? Many thanks, Peter. "t_rust" wrote in message oups.com... Hi Peter, I use Exifer: http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/ Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but you can save different exif "templates" and load them into your photos as required. Regards, T Peter Jason wrote: I have a OlympusE500 SLR digital which records EXIF data automatically. But I need to add extra such as "comments" and "author". Is there good software to handle this? I am thinking of something like an EXIF pop-up window in front of a large display of the photo so that all detail could be observed before adding the comments & author etc. But also some way to automatically save the last comments string, so that it could be called up and pasted for use in subsequent similar photos. Often I have about 100 photos to process at once, so that any help would speed things up considerably. Please help, Peter. |
