Image Information Download?

[Apextom]

Does anyone know how to dump the image information (Camera settings, speed, etc.) that is recorded with the Digital Rebel pictures? I'd like to dump the info into a spreadsheet or other format so that I can pull it into a database along with the image thumbnail.

thanks

The data about the image is called the EXIF information. I did a search on Google for "exif extract" and found this - didn't try it out, but it sounds like it's exactly what you're looking for:

BR's EXIFextracter (http://www.br-software.com/extracter.html)
BR's EXIFextractor is a simple freeware program that will extract the EXIF information from all digital photos (JPEG files only) in a folder and saves the data in a CSV-file (Comma Separated Values). This file can be read by any program that is capable of reading CSV-files, for instance Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, BR's PhotoArchiver, and most other databases.

Thanks! The BR extractor works well. After downloading the JPEG from the camera into a folder on the computer, this utility will generate a text file (comma delimited) containing a row for each JPEG with EXIF data in the folder. Any spreadsheet program, such as Excel, can read the file. While the progam does not pull every EXIF tag, it gets the main ones a photographer is interested in... Date, camera type, speed, aperture, focal length, use of flash, and a few more. With this file I can easily pull the EXIF data into another database where I store other information about my pictures... Thanks again.
