+1 for jhove. We use it in backing up our Tiffs and it works very well on Windows with a simple bash script and can be used to extract PREMIS data. The script we use is available here http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/4468 under the "Ingest" section. Edward Iglesias On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at

exiv2 probably would have worked for me, but I've done some tests with exiftool, and the output can easily be converted to exactly what I need. Thanks for turning me onto this handy utility! kyle On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 1:52 PM, Pottinger, Hardy J. < pottinge...@missouri.edu> wrote: > Hi, OSU's

Hi, OSU's Maureen Walsh has spoken and written about her use of Exiftool for just this use case, here is a link for you: http://www.mpwalshmetadata.org/2011/10/repurposing-embedded-image-metadata- for.html HTH -- HARDY POTTINGER University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~p

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 .tif will dump what you want to stdout. -Jon -- Jon Stroop Digital Initiatives Programmer/Analyst Princeton University Library On 11/19/2012

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

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: . It could be a useful way to discover, for example, when a particular image was taken. Roy On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 1:3

Hi Kyle, +1 for Exiftool, but as Nick mentioned, it depends on what information you're wanting to extract. Best, Bridger PS exiftool -a -G1 -s image-name.tif > image-exif.txt has come in very handy for us. HTH. On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 4:31 PM, Kyle Banerjee wrote: > Howdy all, > > I need to ex

Hi Kyle, Have you seen Exiftool at all? It might be what you're looking for. But, I guess it really depends on what you mean by "metadata" in the images. http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ -nruest On 12-11-19 04:31 PM, Kyle Banerj

[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.
