exifMe

exifMe is a program that allows users to view Exif data embedded in pictures made with various camera models. This sort of data generally shows the date and time of a photo when it was taken, and in some cases, even the location.

There isn't much that users can expect from this program's interface since it comes with a very basic layout. It simply displays the target picture, and obviously the info extracted from the Exif (Exchangeable image file format) standard tags found in the downloaded images.

Usually, Exif tags come around in metadata found in photos and other files like JPG, TIF, and WAV formats, with extensions to DCF files. In standard practices, some basic Exif information can be checked in Windows Explorer by just right-clicking on an image and selecting 'Properties.' However, this might not reveal all the details Exif files store in images, and a special program, like exifMe, may be needed.

exifMe shows not only the time and date of a picture, but additional information as well (when available). Details, like camera models, their maker, camera flash status, exposure, aperture, and even ISO, can all be checked out by the user. Titles and descriptions of the photo can be revealed, if they were later added by the photographer.

The application does not, however, support location tagging that has become common in camera phones, and is limited to the information only classical cameras are able to register.

Users can enjoy a set of controls, like date and time hiding shortcuts, and arrow keys for picture control. Users can also change the font color by right-clicking on the labels themselves.

exifMe is the next step in checking Exif tags from pictures and images beyond what Windows usually offers. Although it misses location tagging that has become common in camera phone pictures, it carries all the other details, like time and camera information, which are common in more conventional photo devices.
