PIE is an unique picture browser and viewer with exquisite photo metadata and file renaming features. It extracts EXIF, XMP and IPTC from JPG, TIF and RAW files and makes it available in a convenient and welcoming interface.
One part of the EXIF header is standardized and contains information such as date and time pictures were taken, shutter speed and aperture or whether the flash was used. But a lot of information such as program mode, white balance settings or lens data, is stored in the Makernote block, which is proprietary and can usually only be read with special software from the camera maker. PIE, however, contains the most extensive Makernote database on the market. With one single tool, you can review pictures with all the metadata from almost any camera.
Furthermore, the EXIFcare™ technology of PIE allows to edit EXIF data, add and delete tags, change Capture date/time in JPG, TIFF and RAW formats, lossless rotate and update embedded thumbnails, without destroying the Makernote block. Editing with other programs, be it just the Windows file properties dialog, will inevitably erase the Makernote data.
PIE displays the Exposure information of each picture. Improve your photographic abilities and understanding for the function of your digital camera by analyzing shutter, aperture, flash use, zoom position, quality settings and many more.
A Report Generator allows to export file lists with metadata to Excel or standard text files.
To prevent loss of Picture Information, which may occur by editing in other programs, PIE allows to backup and restore complete metadata headers. You can also remove this data for clean, privacy protected pictures.
