EXIF Editor

I've done lots of editing of images followimng a recent trip and I'm playing with the Adobe lightroom Beta. The nicest slideshow (in my opinion) is the one that displays the EXIF data - unfortunately, the artist entry is showing as unknown and I haven't found anything that will edit the EXIF data in anything but a JPEG.

I have a 20D (and currently can't find the installation disks for the canon software). Any suggestions?

Hi James,

Check out the free ExifTool. It just released a new version on Dec 15 including a standalone executable for windows (this program also works under linux and, I'm sure, macs as well). It reads/write canon raw format images.

Here are some user comments about the program

===============================================

"In my experience, nothing but nothing is as complete, powerful, and flexible as Phil Harvey's exiftool ... I've never seen anything that's in the same ballpark for power." - dpreview forum

"While there are a lot of image tools available, nothing comes close for accessing/updating the metadata like ExifTool" - merg's blog

"exiftool is an amazingly powerful Perl module and script" - Brett's Place on the Web

"Fast, reliable and amazingly comprehensive ..." - CPAN ratings

"... the one piece of free software that gets the most detailed exif data of /any/ tool I've found." - gnome mail archives

===============================================

Good luck!

Bart
