After several years of evolving my photo metadata code I’m finally ready to put it online. Being the nice corporate citizen that I am, I’m using CodePlex and you can find Fotofly here for download. My somewhat lofty description of the project is: “A comprehensive C# library for reading, manipulating and writing metadata stored in jpg photos using WPF and the Windows Imaging Component. Includes support for Windows Live Photo Gallery People Tags, GPS Coordinates and most EXIF, XMP & IPTC properties.” Hopefully I’ll get lots of downloads and feedback to help improve it further.  |

This is done by adding padding to the metadata. [Read More] |

To be quite honest, the code I’ve been using for a number of years now is mature enough that it solves almost all the problems I’ve seen. This blog is the first in a series that document how to read (this blog), write and manipulate photo metadata. [Read More] |
