Opanda PowerExif

My personal pros and cons list

Opanda PowerExif is an EXIF editor that lets you watch, edit and modify the EXIF tags of your photos.

Below the screen shot, I will tell you what I found to be convenient and what I was missing.

The pros:

Opanda PowerExif is likely the only Windows tool that let you edit any EXIF field. Many photo viewers and photo editors let you edit a small selection among all the existing EXIF fields. Previously, the only tool I knew that was able to edit any EXIF field was a command line tool not a GUI (graphical user interface) tool. Opanda PowerExif fills this gap.

Opanda PowerExif has a clear presentation and filters to show ALL Exif fields or only various selections.

Opanda PowerExif is a rather small software package due to its stand alone status.

This is not an exhaustive list of Opanda PowerExif's features, but rather a quick summary of functions I found most useful.

The cons:

Opanda PowerExif does not let you browse through folders full of images. A minimal photo viewer as a shell above the program would make the usage more convenient.

As an alternative, some way of integration into current photo viewers or editors would be desirable. If users could call PowerExif directly with a key of the toolbar from within their prefered photo viewer, they would probably be more tempted to get it/use it. A PowerExif version packed as a Photshop Plugin could also be very appealing.
