Change and export EXIF image info

This flow shows how you can use EXIFutils to change the EXIF information of incoming images. Secondly, it exports the EXIF information and saves it as an XML file.

This flow is compatible with: PowerSWITCH

Information

This flow expects to receive images that contain EXIF information. All images are first sent to the ExifChanger. This script element uses EXIFutils to change the Copyright information to "My copyright information". The exact text added to the copyright information of processed images is set in a property of this script element, so it is easy to adjust this script to what you need in your workflow.

Next is a script element that uses EXIFspy, also one of the Exif tools, to read the EXIF information. This information is added to the internal job ticket of the processed image in the EXIF data set.

Export metadata is a PowerSWITCH tool that allows you to export a certain dataset; in this case the EXIF information in XML.

You can find more information on these tools on http://www.hugsan.com/EXIFutils/index.html.
