How to read EXIF tags.

EXIFread

WARNING: EXIFread is over 3 years old and was writen from before the official spec. was writen for EXIF tags. I HIGHLY recommend you use another program, like maybe ACDsee or ImageMagick or PHP to read your EXIF data.


Do you have a digital camera? Do you want to read all the extra data on the jpeg or jpg image?
I do. I wrote this C++ command line program to read the exif tags on JPEGs.
It will tell you important info like flash, shutter speed, focal length, and much much more. I am still writing the code, but I wanted to post this program before I go on vacation for anyone out there who is also looking for help on this topic.

Or... download this great Windows GUI based program inspired by some of my EXIF reading code. http://oneilsoftware.hypermart.net/Exif/Exif.html

EXIFren

Another program I wrote will rename your files to the date the picture was taken. I call it EXIFren. This program is also a simple command line program for which I am still working on, but it is almost bug free as it is.

JPEGget

JPEGget will extract the thumbnail JPEG hidden in your digital camera JPEG. This program is very simple in how it works. It looks through a JPEG file for a second SOI (start of image) marker. If it finds one, it copies that to a new file until it reaches an EOI marker.
