Picture Information Extractor 5.32

Picture Information Extractor 5.32 is such a wonderful program that extracts all metadata from JPG and RAW files of almost any digital camera. Allows to edit metadata and adjust date/time picture taken without destroying Makernote data. Transfers images, renames automatically, rotates losslessly. Includes file manager and fast picture viewer with slide show feature. Support for .ARW, .SR2, .CRW, .CR2, .DNG, .ERF, .DCR, .KDC, .MEF, .MRW, .NEF, .ORF, .PEF, .RAF, and .RAW files.

Major Features:

1. The ultimate tool for digital cameras reveals everything
2. PIE is an unique picture browser and viewer with exquisite photo metadata and file renaming features. It extracts EXIF, XMP and IPTC from JPG, TIF and RAW files and makes it available in a convenient and welcoming interface.
3. One part of the EXIF header is standardized and contains information such as date and time pictures were taken, shutter speed and aperture or whether the flash was used. 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. With one single tool, you can review pictures with all the metadata from almost any camera.
4. Furthermore, the EXIFcare™ technology of PIE allows to edit EXIF and IPTC data, add and delete tags, change capture date/time in JPG, TIFF and RAW formats, lossless rotate and update embedded thumbnails, without destroying the Makernote block. Editing with other programs, be it just the Windows file properties dialog, will inevitably erase the Makernote data.
5. PIE 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.
6. A Report Generator allows to export file lists with metadata to Excel or standard text files.
7. To prevent loss of picture information, which may occur by editing in other programs, PIE allows to backup and restore complete metadata headers. You can also remove this data for clean, privacy protected pictures.
8. PIE is also a sophisticated file renaming utility that takes into account the extracted metadata to rename picture files keyed to the date and time as well as other photo information. This is handled by a filename mask which can be customized easily.
9. No more hassle with all the DSC00xyz.jpg and IMG00xyz.jpg on your computer. Define one filename format and apply it to all photos, inclusive the ones that you get from others with different cameras. With almost no effort, your photo archive will be as tidy as never before.
10. Companion files such as .thm thumbnail files, .xmp sidecar files or .wav audio files are also renamed correctly.
11. PIE is a file manager. Browse through folders, sort, move, copy, delete and rename picture files. You can also open any other imaging application from there.
12. PIE has a fast integrated picture viewer. Use the mouse wheel to zoom into or toggle between pictures, cursor keys or mouse for panning, function keys to display or hide information. One single key or click starts the slideshow or switches to the browser window. No other tool lets you fly through your pictures so pleasingly.
13. Besides, the viewer supports RAW files from almost any digital camera.
14. A life saver in digital photography is the ability to adjust the date/time picture taken (EXIF date/time). You can either set a fixed date or increase/decrease the time parameters by any number. This can be done in batch mode with any number of selected files. It is also possible to set the file timestamp (date created or modified) according to the EXIF date/time, which is helpful for correct sorting or indexing in other applications, e.g. iTunes for iPod photos.
15. Change EXIF date/time works on JPG, TIF and RAW (.crw, .cr2, .nef, .orf, .arw, .pef, .mrw, .dcs, ...) files!
16. PIE allows you to rotate and crop JPG pictures without any loss of quality. It is done without decompression/compression. The »lossless rotation« gets your portrait format photos right, with just a single button click, automatically and in batch mode.
17. The Geotagging feature lets you view and set the photo position in an interactive map. Edit the GPS coordinates in single file or batch mode.
18. PIE provides the most comfortable way to transfer your images from digital camera memory cards to your computer. It moves or copies photos and videos, renames them as defined in the filename mask and rotates photos taken in portrait mode. It can also automatically create folders in a custom directory structure and put the downloaded files into the right folders based on date/time as well as camera model and file type (Image, RAW, Video).

• Fixed GPS coordinates at 0° west or south were not saved correctly
