From: Cynicor on 24 Jan 2007 11:46 Since I am evidently the resident MS guy here, I thought I'd point out a new (free) program called PhotoInfo that lets you "easily view and change "metadata" properties in digital photographs from within Windows Explorer." Just went up this week. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B038D4B5-1D88-437C-9F54-1FB0D210B5EF

Not mandatory if you use the same functions included in some photo browsers. mb
From: Joan on 25 Jan 2007 06:15 Installed OK. However, I'm seeing some odd behaviour. I had stupidly set my camera date back one year so I have to wonder is this the magic tool that will fix all the files? Obviously it should be, as it has an area where I can alter a date by a number of days and can handle a batch edit. So I started with some jpg files. The first file I said "use the exif" and added 365 days to the created date. That's all it did. It left the other erroneous dates on the previous year. However, Adobe Bridge is showing today's date as the "date created" under the thumbnail but the corrected date in the metadata panel to the left. If I changed the date created and didn't check "use EXIF" sure enough the exif doesn't change and the date created entry in the IPTC shows the new date value. Also the EXIF "date time original" when showing the modified date shows it with a different display format from all the other dates. All other dates show d/mm/yyyy hh:MM:ss PM (4/01/2006 1:46:04 PM) but the "date time original" shows yyyy-mm-dd HH-MM-ss (2007-01-04 13-46-04). So I attacked the NEF files. This behaviour was different. The NEF files are updated and the XMP files are not touched. Bridge can see updated date for display under the thumbnail. In the EXIF data "date time original" is modified and the IPTC date created tag has the adjusted date value. For the NEF files, all date formatting is consistent. When is version 2 coming out? -- Joan http://www.flickr.com/photos/joan-in-manly "Cynicor" <j...tru.p...in(a)speak.ea.sy.net> wrote in message news:5NydnWg1WdQfECrYnZ2dnUVZ_o3inZ2d(a)speakeasy.net... : Since I am evidently the resident MS guy here, I thought I'd point out a : new (free) program called PhotoInfo that lets you "easily view and : change "metadata" properties in digital photographs from within Windows : Explorer."

In a month or so, I'm releasing a small app that lets you code GPS info into your JPG after the fact.

You know that there are several that do this already, right? Some even do it automatically from your recorded course track matched up with your EXIF date/time stamp. Just trying to save you some effort in case you weren't aware of them.
