What This Progress Report Is Really About:Įvery month, I am posting a detailed report - just like this one - sharing with you how far I have come with my goal to scan and restore my entire 10,000+ family photo collection.īy doing so, I hope to inspire you to do the same! So this time is only one month and it’ll be a lot shorter. Last month I covered two complete months of scanning, but I learned that was just too much to talk about!
Welcome to my third monthly progress report! I would really appreciate that.įurthermore, if you have any questions I didn't answer in the video or in these notes below, please feel free to ask them below as well, and I will do my best to answer them for you. If you already use an application that you think I should add to my chart above, please let me know in the comments below.

Here are some additional applications written for Window PC's to view and edit IPTC Metadata fields. Other Applications For Viewing and Editing Metadata in Windows
I will continue to update this chart as I learn about more applications worth your time, or find out one is no longer available for download. They are grouped by type and then ordered alphabetically.Īnd thank you Art Taylor for helping me get a start on this list. Possibly try out one or more of them until you've found one that you like. Others can be massive and will require a little bit of time to get acquainted with.īelow is a chart with additional applications that I invite you to look over. Some are lightweight and are easy to use just to view metadata quickly. There are a lot of other great programs out there with different price points, features, user interface qualities and levels of difficulty to use. It just happened to be the first one I thought of that I already had installed on my computer and could be used in the demonstration.
I didn't choose to use this application in the video because it's totally free, or because it was best one out there at the time.
They also have a nice “How To” page on their website if you would like some more help how to do basic operations once inside. The program I used in this video was called PhotoMe.
