how to set meta data

[wplayout]

Hi,



i have a jpg image and i would like to set meta data title, subject etc. (which are shaded in the above screenshot). These info can be set in windows 7 OS. Is it possible to set these information using image magick? I use windows xp. there is no option available in win xp OS.

please help

For specific JPEG meta-data handling, I suggest you look at programs like "jhead" whcih can update that information without reading and writing a lossy image compression format like JPEG.

thanks for your suggestion. However, I don't see an option to add the meta data other than comment.

Have you checked the link to the page showing the options?

Yes. I am. I only have option to edit/add comment. other than that rest are not useful for me. I am looking for an application which can add title, desc, etc. via commandline and preferably free software.

Have you looked at Exiftool? I have no idea if it will do what you want. But worth looking at.

Fred's suggestion may be more in line with what you want. As it is the EXIF profile that specifies a lot of stuff, though it is Camera orientated.

What about the IPTC profile for Image and Author Info.

However I would again look at using some other tool, other than ImageMagick (like jhead) to add and remove profiles without a read-write cycle of the JPEG image data (which will degrade it).
