Consumer Photo/Pic Editing Software - what do you use?

<< < (5/5)

QuickImageComment:
QuickImageComment displays EXIF, IPTC, and XMP properties of digital images (e.g. JPEG and TIFF) and allows to edit them. Especially editing of user comment and artist (author) is supported by using the last entered or predefined values. These attributes are read from the EXIF, IPTC, and XMP properties of the image and are stored there.

Overview of features are:

    The program displays all EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties, as well as some other file properties such as modification date.
    In addition to the full lists of EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties a list of properties is displayed, which is configurable.
    In addition to user comment and artist further EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties can be changed. The list of modifiable properties can be configured.
    Data templates can be defined to set several properties in one step.
    Via placeholder it is possible to copy values of properties in others.
    Changes can be carried out simultaneously for two or more files.
    EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties can be deleted, thereby exceptions can be defined. Single properties can be deleted selectively.
    Files can be renamed using Exif, IPTC and XMP properties.
    The EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties contained in the files can be compared.
    A special mask is used to synchronize the recording time of a set of images taken with different cameras. Images are grouped by properties (mostly camera model). For each group, a shift of the recording time can be entered. Then the images are immediately sorted in order to check whether the images are then in the correct timely order.
    Selected image properties of all images in a folder (including any subfolders) can be exported to a text file.
    All image properties of selected images can be exported to text files (one file per image).
    Display metadata (XMP) of video files as well (depending on the operating system and, if necessary, installed components) display a frame of the video.

Further processing of the images (e.g. adjusting the contrast and brightness) is not the purpose of this program.

It has a GPL license, and is the first free (as in beer) WinGUI program I've seen that can do all that.  Note the "Selected image properties of all images in a folder (including any subfolders) can be exported to a text file" feature, which could be used, for example, to generate a list of the focal lengths you've used most, to inform future camera or lens purchases.

only seeing this now, looks very impressive :up:
Doesn't seem to show Picasa's name tags.

Well, it only says it supports EXIF, IPTC and XMP, which as I understand it are all established standards.  You could ask the author about adding Picasa - but he might not be interested in a proprietary program that's been abandoned.  Speaking of which, Google at one point owned the Nik collection, and offered them free of cost.  They're now owned by DxO, who are charging for them again, and at more than a casual impulse purchase price.  Maybe Google should sell Picasa on to someone else, but really, the market for digital imaging software must be pretty saturated

turns out the name-tags (via Picasa) *are* in the XMP data, but the XMP tab is completely blank for some of the photos. Will try check tomorrow what is going on with them, and where the problem lies...
