Copying EXIF data from pictures

Posted on   February 22nd, 2010

I needed to copy the EXIF information data from one image to another and I found the nicest program ever: ExifTool, a Perl command-line program by Phil Harvey. It works on Mac and Windows. Once installed, you open your terminal and type:

exiftool image.jpg #To read exif data
exiftool -tagsFromFile original.jpg new.jpg #To copy EXIF tags from original.jpg to new.jpg

You can also read the docs to know how to change any field of the EXIF data and so on. Very handy, thanks Phil Harvey!
