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 (see the tutorial). 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'. PhotoInfoEditor is free, however, donations to support development are welcome. Users donating via Paypal, or by using TrialPay will be sent an 'activation code' which will remove a program start 'nag' screen and 'offer' buttons from the main program window.
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.
Further information on 'meta-data' and geocoding.
To use PhotoInfoEditor you:
Included on the application disk image there is a folder (Pict) containing 10 photo files (with_data_1.jpg - with_data_5.jpg, and without_data_1.jpg - without_data_5.jpg). Five of the files are already 'geotagged' and have description/summary meta-data, and five are not. If the photos are loaded in to the program (this can be done by using either the 'Load Photos' button or by 'dragging and dropping' the photos on the program window or application icon) then the data can be viewed and photo locations seen on the map. (See the Tutorial entry in program help.)
