EXIF editor for Mac OS X....

Hello, everyone.


My current project requires me to edit EXIF data on photos stored as
TIFF files. Some of these are files created by an Olympus camera and
originally saved as TIFF. Others are TIFF files created from slide
scans using a Nikon 35 mm slide/film scanner.

The files created by the digital camera have date and time stamps that
are not correct and need to be modified. The scans from slides don't
have any EXIF data and I would like to be able to include it (things
such as date, time, model of scanner used, etc,).

My question: What tool is available for editing EXIF information on
TIFF files ?

I have tried a search on Google but haven't really found anything
other than a couple of applications that can only edit EXIF data on
JPEG files. I would prefer a Photoshop or Bridge plug-in in case one
is available since I do most of my work with these two applications.
However, in case one is not available I would consider using a
standalone applications for this task. The only thing I would like to
avoid is any application that would require command line input.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,


Joe

not sure but BRIDGE might already have what you need
under tools> make a template with correct info
then use APPEND METADATA

Nope, that won't work. Bridge can only edit metadata such as name,
copyright, keywords, but not data that the camera normally writes into
the files, such as camera model and capture date.

A bit of searching found this:
"SetEXIFData v2.4 - A tool to add/modify EXIF data in images"
http://82.94.219.20/~marcvos/downloads/realbasic/index.html

I haven't looked any further into it other than its title.

Thanks, Johan and Kabuki.

I've tried it and have also contacted Adobe but it seems Bridge can't
edit EXIF data. Bridge is a very good browser and it could benefit
from having this feature added. I will post a message to their
discussion groups for feature requests to suggest that they
incorporate this in the upcoming version of the program.

Best regards,

Joe

Thanks Alan and Andrew.

I've looked into Phil's exiftool utility. From what I gather his
application is one of the most (perhaps the most) powerful for EXIF
data handling. The problem with it is that it requires command line
input and this is something I am not comfortable with. I wanted to
find an easy to use GUI frontend for the program and the best one I
have found so far is Graphics Converter from Lemkesoft.

Best regards,

Joe
