We have written an Excel macro that will take a dump of people names and remove any duplicates so you can see a list of unique names of people that may have attended an event… or have been in a set of pictures you have during the course of a year for example.If you just want to dump the names from a set of image files: \temp\exiftool\exiftool -T -RegionPersonDisplayName -r *.jpg > PeopleTags.txt.The following will set the CreateDate exif property to be the same as the DateTimeOriginal exif property: \temp\exiftool\exiftool ‘-createdateimage_tags.txt If you have pictures without the CreateDate exif property but with the DateTimeOriginal exif property.This example searches to find images WITHOUT the DateTimeOriginal exif property set: \temp\exiftool\exiftool -filename -r -if ‘(not $datetimeoriginal)’ *.jpg Find out if a picture is missing a particular exif property by running the following command.And, if you are making changes to directories, image content or image names then please do a test on a small set of photos first and make sure you have backups in case something goes awry! ![]() All examples assume you have unzipped Exiftool in the “C:\temp\exiftool folder”. In this post, we summarize a few of the Exiftool examples that we have come across over the years and these may help you accomplish a needed task with your photos.
