You can *read* EXIF information via the _getexif() method of the image. Use the KEYS dictionary in the ExifTags module to map numeric keys to friendly names. For example, >>> d = dict((ExifTags.TAGS[k], v) for k, v in im._getexif().items()) >>> d['DateTimeOriginal'] '2002:08:07 17:07:59' Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to *write* EXIF information with PIL. Hope this helps (a bit) Paul. _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
