    <pre> Hello everyone,

    I have a little problem that perhaps someone can help with. I have 20,000 images in JPEG and all of them have structured metadata in the APP13 field of the JPEG header.

    What I need to do is extract all this metadata (and maintain some association, i.e. filename) in some format suitable for entry into another database (tab-delimited, whatever).

    Does anyone know of a tool/script that will do this for a batch of images?

    Many thanks in advance for your assistance. Please reply to me directly at:

    Regards,
