Retrieving and Displaying Exif Data from a Photo
EXIF data is what digital cameras add to your photos when you shoot them. There
are a myriad of properties such as: was the flash used, the ISO speed, exposure
time, the date the photo was taken, the date the photo was digitalized, the
camera model, weight, width, resolution and photographic terms that I have no
clue about.
You can fetch the data in
the photos and display it automatically. Credit is due to 'bradles' at the
Adobe User to User forums (check
out the thread here) for the beginning of the code.
You can adapt the code to
anything: you can now sort your pic by camera type, by whether or not the flash
was used. You can write all the info to a textfile; possibilities are endless.
In the following sample code, the script will take info from the EXIF object
and display part of it (I chose shutter speed, camera model and date, and adding
a name).
[ Here's what the script does!

Note:
CS USERS |
Since
version CS you no longer refer to 'AD.width'
and 'AD.height'
but 'AD.width.value'
and 'AD.height.value',
change that in your scripts to make it work !
