pyExifToolGUI

When captured with a digital camera, photos store a wide range of information in their metadata, such as camera model, geographic coordinates, resolution and so on.

pyExifToolGUI is one of the apps you can turn to when you want to view these details, but also to modify them.

This application relies on the functions of ExifTool, a command-line utility that is used mainly by tech-savvy users. In other words, you first need to make sure ExifTool is already stored on your PC, then specify its path in the Preferences tab.

Once this step has been completed, you get to benefit from the functions of ExifTool packed within a straightforward graphic interface, regardless of your skill level.

You need to take some time to add one or more images by browsing to their location since drag and drop actions are not supported. The source formats include not only common filetypes, such as BMP, JPG, PNG or TIFF, but also RAW ones, like ARW, CR2, DNG, RAF, XCF and many others.

Once you click any of your added pictures, pyExifToolGUI automatically displays all the detected metadata, such as EXIF, XMP, IPTC, GPS/Location, GPano, ICC profile and makernotes. As such, you can analyze info like width and height, orientation, camera model, exposure time, GPS tags or focal length.

If you are not satisfied with the metadata stored within your digital images, you can alter the data as you see fit.

More precisely, you can modify or enter the latitude and longitude that you prefer, while also getting the possibility to define the XMP/IPTC location. You can also choose a local GPS log file and write the geotag information to the selected pics.

EXIF data like camera make and model, copyright or artist name can also be specified, along with setting up GPano tags and lens details (focal length, maximum aperture or metering mode).

PyExifToolGUI is a neat utility that can be successfully used by all those who considered ExifTool to require too much PC knowledge to operate.
