Two other free programs that work in conjunction with each other that you might consider are ImageIngester and Adobe’s DNG converter. Image Ingester can easily add metadata in bulk while it is copying or backing up your images.

Spend a few minutes reading the forum at thedambook.com. Peter knows a lot, and the community there is quite nice.

Finally, I would suggest Lightroom if you can get it at a discounted price. I am not a big fan of Adobe, but LR is worth consideration.

Good luck!

Thanks Ken. I went to this site, and I can already see that I will need to spend more time there in order to get a feel for the basic issues and solutions. And I probably need to read Peter’s book.

I could already see that the software for this field is in a state of flux in which nothing has clearly established itself as a standard. Microsoft has grabbed up one of the leading players, and Adobe is trying to extend its dominance in the professional graphics field. And there are some good independent programs as well.

I’ll have to spend some time on this.
