EXIF editor for Mac OS X.

[Joseph Chamberlain, D.D.S.]

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

Photoshop
File>File Info or Cmd-Opt-Shft-I

But you cannot change the info embedded by the camera.

I tried that at first but also realized that Adobe's products don't allow
you to change the EXIF data.

After a lot of research I have been able to make the edits I needed using
Graphic Converter which is a frontend application (Mac) for Phil Harvey's
exiftool application.

Thank you very much for your post and help.

Hello Pablo.


Sorry for taking this long to reply.

GIMP is available for Mac OS X. All you have to do is install the X11 environment as part of your OS install and it will run under X11 (a front end  GUI for UNIX). I chose not to install X11 when I installed OS X to save a little disk space. To install GIMP would require the kind of time I just don’t have at this moment. Another reason is that I am not sure if this effort will pay off since I am not sure that GIMP will in fact edit the EXIF metadata. I will keep in mind for the future and thank you for your suggestion.

Best regards,


Joseph
