Microsoft Photo Info 1.0

Windows Vista/XP / Freeware / 1,241 downloads

Microsoft Photo Info allows photographers to add, change and delete common "metadata" properties for digital photographs from inside Windows Explorer.

When installed, a new "Photo Info" item appears on the context menu for files selected in Windows Explorer. To use, simply select one or more image fiiles, right-click and choose "Photo Info" to open the Photo Info properties editor. You can edit metadata for files individually, or all together as a batch. Photo Info reads and writes metadata in IPTC and XMP formats (depending on file type). It also provides enhanced "hover tips" and additional sort properties for digital photographs in Windows Explorer.

    2/5 for not preserving image file date and time when making changes!

    I was expecting a group of new property sheets which replaced the Summary tab. Instead, Photo Info is a separate app which takes 30mb of RAM to edit metadata.

    Still, Microsoft are releasing this when they don't have to.

    It's sad that a Windows based File System manager for images really hasn't existed, until now.

    Kudos though for them finally getting tools like this in there. I just hope this and the other image tools they have released are all built-in to Vista.
