Summary
Chapter 3 ■ Exif Tools 33
As digital photography becomes more sophisticated, users tend to attach increasing
importance to Exif data. Gone are the days when these data were nearly always mangled
by JPEG editing. More photographers shoot in RAW mode, preserving and then
using the metadata later in the workflow. Some software applications, such as those for
correcting lens distortions, need to make direct use of Exif data for manipulating the
image. At the very least, Exif data can save you hours of noting down f-stops and shutter
speeds. If you want to explore this subject in depth, including Exif editing, the software
discussed in this chapter will help you do it.
