#SIMPLE EXIF VIEWER FOR MAC OS MAC OS X#

There download the Windows Executable or the Mac OS X Package.

There are instructions, but in short, for Windows use, just do this: There is a forum too, and if you want to read awhile there, you might become an Exif Expert. Complete, and updated very frequently, and it receives great attention from the developer, and from techies too. As you will see there, this is a Big Deal. At least for Windows, sorry, I'm not aware of a Mac version. It can also work as a useful Windows program. It is a command line viewer, however don't get excited by that. Phil Harvey's ExifTool is the ultimate, and is often updated a time or two a month (adding new cameras and fixes, etc). You need something more current.Д«ut there is a fantastic solution.

If your Exif Viewer is older than your camera, be very suspicious. These seem obsolete now, they no longer work for the Makers data in many newer cameras. Opanda is another popular viewer, last updated in 2008. But then it failed to show the Makers data for my D800 (2012). It seemed to work fine on my D300 camera (2007).

I used to use PhotoME for my Exif viewer, and I liked it. The problem for Exif viewers is that the Makers data section is proprietary format, not standard, and manufacturers can and do change its format at will (adding things, which messes up viewer programs). The Adobe File - Save For Web option saves as JPG, but specifically omits all Exif data. Photoshop Bridge has menus to select which items of the Exif to retain, but its choices do not include the Manufacturers data (this section is also called Makers Data, or MakerNotes, same thing, Manufacturers section). Image editors like Adobe will leave out most of the Exif when they rewrite the file, and you'll never see most of it after that. An important factor is that to see all of the Exif, it has to be a JPG or Raw image straight out of the camera.
