BR’s EXIFextracter
Vendor: BR Software
Purpose: Utility for extracting Exif metadata from JPEG photos
Description
BR’s EXIFextracter is a free utility that enables you to extract Exif metadata from JPEG
files, automatically placing the data into a folder and saving them in a CSV (Comma
Separated Values) file. Many applications such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access,
and the vendor’s own PixFiler cataloging software can read CSV files—as can most databases.
This utility lets you make greater use of Exif metadata than would otherwise be
possible.
Comments
Not everyone agrees that separating Exif metadata from the images to which they relate
is necessarily a good idea. However, it certainly makes the data more easily manipulated
and searchable. The vendor plans to introduce a commercial version of this software in
2008-9, which promises to be able to extract IPTC data as well.
