What can I do with PhotoInfoEditor

PhotoInfoEditor is a program that allows you to edit or add 'meta-data' to a picture/photo (the program supports a wide range of image formats including JPEG, TIFF and RAW images) file. Once this data has been added it stays associated with the file unless the file is re-written by a program that does not support 'meta-data'.

Picture meta-data is additional data associated with a picture / photo that describes the picture in some way so that the picture can be found by searches or catelogued. For example, if you took some pictures whilst on holiday you could add meta-data (keywords / description) to the pictures that describes the picture. This meta-data can be added using PhotoInfoEditor and in addition you could also add 'location' information by placing a pointer on the map in the 'map window' at the location the picture was taken. Once a photo has 'position' information added PhotoInfoEditor will query a database at http://terraserver-usa.com/ to find the nearest town/area/country for those coordinates and this information will also be added to the meta-data for the photo.

To see what can be done with PhotoInfoEditor load some of the photos in the accompanying 'Tutorial' folder. Half of the photos provided have associated meta-data which describe the location at which the photo was taken. (For more information see the tutorial page.)
