![]() If I apply that definition to digital images, it would go something like this: Think of the actual image as a bunch of pixels or image data. The common definition for metadata is data about data-not a particularly helpful definition, but it’s cute nonetheless. One of the benefits that came with the development of digital cameras and, more specifically, EXIF, is the ability to store metadata. Technically, then, what gets written to the card is an EXIF file, but I’m not going to try to swim upstream here, so JPEG it is. While we often call the files JPEGs, JPEG is actually a compression method and not a file format. ![]() The file system was developed to help avoid a scenario where every digital camera would have a different means of writing images to memory cards. This must be a problem for anyone digitizing older images.Ī) EXIF stands for exchangeable image file format. But that doesn’t work on TIFF files, which most of mine are. Is there any way to alter the Date Created in the EXIF data? I’ve seen one sophisticated piece of freeware called Exifer. That’s of very little interest what the record needs is the date the photo was taken. The EXIF data for these shows the date the image was scanned (digitized). That’s probably fine if we’re only organizing digital photos, but many of my image files are pre-digital, scanned from negs, slides or prints. Most of those I’ve tried, if you try to organize images by their date, want to use the date they get from the EXIF data for the image. Q) I’m looking for the perfect photo organizer. ![]()
