[CODE4LIB] extracting tiff info

2012-11-19 Thread Kyle Banerjee
Howdy all, I need to extract all the metadata from a few thousand images on a network drive and put it into spreadsheet. Since the files are huge (each is 100MB+) and my connection isn't that fast, I strongly prefer to not move them before working on them -- i.e. I'm using cygwin and/or windows.

This may not be what Kyle had in mind, but in poking around I ran across this site that pulls EXIF information from any image you give it on the web: http://regex.info/exif.cgi. It could be a useful way to discover, for example, when a particular image was taken. Roy On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 1:31

exiftool is pretty complete, but if you an do with the small amount information that tiffinfo provides, it is significantly faster than exiftool. -Randy Fischer

If you want everything in that RDF, you're probably wanting to extract the XMP data. Have a look at exiv2: http://www.exiv2.org/ Basically: exiv2 -px your_image.tif will dump what you want to stdout. -Jon -- Jon Stroop Digital Initiatives Programmer/Analyst Princeton University Library On
