Picture Information Extractor 5.1

Picture Information Extractor 5.1 is a useful product which is designed to functions as a deluxe photo data toolkit for amateur photographers and professionals alike.

PIE is an image browser and viewer with perfectly integrated photo metadata and file renaming features. It extracts EXIF, XMP and IPTC information from JPG and RAW files and makes it available in a convenient and welcoming interface.

One part of the metadata is standardized and contains information such as date and time the picture was taken, shutter speed and aperture etc. But a lot of information such as program mode, white balance settings or lens data, is stored in the Makernote block, which is proprietary and can usually only be read with special software from the camera maker. PIE, however, contains the most extensive Makernote database on the market.

Major Features:

1. Displays the exposure information of each picture. Improve your photographic abilities and understanding for the function of your digital camera by analyzing shutter, aperture, flash use, zoom position, quality settings and many more.
