Description : EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation library and tools
Exiv2 comprises of a C++ library and a command line utility to access image
metadata.
The Exiv2 library provides:
* full read and write access to the EXIF and IPTC metadata of an image
through Exiv2 keys and standard C++ iterators
* a smart IPTC implementation that does not affect data that programs like
Photoshop store in the same image segment
* EXIF MakerNote support:
o MakerNote tags can be accessed just like any other EXIF metadata
o a sophisticated write algorithm avoids corrupting the MakerNote:
* extract and delete methods for EXIF thumbnails (both, JPEG and Tiff
thumbnails)
* set methods for EXIF thumbnails (JPEG only, Tiff thumbnails can be set from
individual tags)
* complete API documentation (by Doxygen)
* generic lower-level classes to access IFD (Image File Directory) data
structures
.
Exiv2 is also a command line utility to:
* print the EXIF metadata of JPEG images as summary info, interpreted values,
or the plain data for each tag (here is a sample)
* print the IPTC metadata of JPEG images
* print the JPEG comment of JPEG images
* set, add and delete EXIF and IPTC metadata of JPEG images
* adjust the EXIF timestamp (that's how it all started...)
* rename EXIF image files according to the EXIF timestamp
* extract EXIF metadata, IPTC metadata and JPEG comments from image files and
insert it again
* extract the thumbnail image embedded in the EXIF metadata
* delete the thumbnail or the complete EXIF metadata from an image
