The Exchangeable image file format (Exif) is a standard that’s been around since 1998 to include metadata in image file formats like JPEG, WAV, HEIC, and WEBP. With the proliferation of digital cameras and smart phones with GPS receivers these images often include geolocation coordinates. We’re going to get started with how to read geotagged photographs using Python to make use of the data. EXIF.org is dedicated to providing a wide array of useful resources to designers and developers, and is named for the DCF standard Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF), which stores interchange information in image files. Quick EXIF Editor is a freeware to edit EXIF data. It is a small and portable software, which you do not need to install. This image EXIF editor could be a little tedious for a new users, but has a wide variety of features to make use of. Browse and open an image from your PC to edit its EXIF. You can also use Drag & Drop method to open any image. Load your scanned images and have the app write the ExIf information directly to them. Metadata (EXIF, XMP, IPTC) editor.

No Video Photo EXIF Manager
This is a software tool that lets you read and edit EXIF tags of many well-known cameras.
Photo EXIF Manager lets you view and edit most well-known digital photo EXIF tags. The edit capability extends to the more recent GPS tags too. All tags are listed in a table, and grouped into three main groups Image, Camera and GPS. EXIF 2.3 standard tags are supported. Editing is done easily. Double-clicking on a tag opens the edit dialog. This dialog box displays information about the tag and its editing tools. You can add, edit, delete some tags, or remove all tags. This software tool allows you to navigate the directory structure quite easily; the navigation is similar to the familiar Windows explorer. The preview area lets you view the photo.
The interface is quite intuitive and simple to use. The interface is well laid out, making it easy to use; even a complete beginner should be able to start using it quickly. Beside the preview area, there is the file exploration area right below it. On the right of the preview area is the display area for the tags. Below this area is the batch list of the photos being processed at this time. The EXIF area shows the tags and the values in each of them. This is quite a good product. If you needed a tool for updating EXIF tags of the photos in your collection then this is something you ought to try out.
Photo EXIF Manager supports following exif types: BYTE (8-bit unsigned int), ASCII (8 bit ASCII code), SHORT (16-bit unsigned int), LONG (32-bit unsigned int), RATIONAL (Two LONGs, unsigned), UNDEFINED (8-bit), SLONG (32-bit int), SRATIONAL (Two SLONGs, signed).

support EXIF 2.3 standard tags.
easy file navigation.
Import/export exif tags.

Airstreamer 1 6 – play videos on your apple tv. If, like me, you have digital photo’s stretching back to the early days of digital cameras and even scans of film and slides, then you may have the same issue I had attaching the right date to the file. I have over 35,000 digital images, so developed a little command line tool to help called ‘Image Processing Console‘ (https://github.com/nrogoff/ImageProcessingConsole).
Modern cloud photo facilities like Microsoft OneDrive Photos and Google Photos automatically organise images based on the dates. Which is great, unless you are missing the correct ‘Date Taken‘. These and other catalogs seem to use a preference order as so where they get this date from. I imagine it’s something like
- Date in the image metadata (EXIF, IPTC or XMP!). There are several dates often stored here. Exactly which is considered the definitive ‘Date Taken’ is not clear.
- If no metadata found , then the image files created date is used. This can and is often completely wrong if you scanned a photo or even did copying and editing.
In Windows you can easily view which of your images have valid ‘Date Taken‘.
- In Windows Explorer, change the view to ‘Details’, then right-click on the columns and add the ‘Date taken’ column.
- You should then see a listing like this, clearly showing if the image does not contain the right metadata.
- If you also turn on the Details pane (View ribbon), you can manually edit the ‘Date taken’, as well as other details.
Some images are too old to have metadata, other have lost their metadata after being edited and yet more are missing it as they were scanned direct from photographs, slides and film.
The created and modified dates can also easily become useless once they are copied from system to system and disk to disk.
Image Processing Console (open source project)
To resolve missing ‘Date Taken‘ metadata in images files, I have just created an open-source command line tool. This tool can be used to set a specific ‘Date Taken’ on one or more files, or you get ask it to infer a shot taken date based on other files close by.
You can get more details on GitHub at https://github.com/nrogoff/ImageProcessingConsole and download the latest release or source code here. It’s functionality is currently limited to JPG’s only.
Just unzip the ‘ImageProcessingConsole.zip‘ and extract it to some folder. Then open command console at this location.

The most useful facility is when you have the odd image here and there that does not have a ‘Date Taken‘. This will probably be the images that you did some work on and saved a copy etc.

If you don’t supply a ‘shot taken date‘ (-s) then the app will try to infer a date based on image files in the same folder that do have dates.
The app will find the closest file by searching the files before and after when ordered alphabetically ascending.
When targeting specific files (without specifying a ‘shot taken date‘), we can see as shown below, that Faces-28.jpg will be given the 26/05/2006 02:21, but Faces-30.jpg will given 18/04/2004 07:49
When targeting a folder then the preceding date cascades down.
