Great article. I've just discovered EXIF information using my Canon Powershot G3 and the ACDSee image browser on my Windows 2000 machine. Searching for an answer to my first question is how I got here. I notice in your example that you have the "Owner's Name" field filled in. Where do I set that field? I have the field in my Canon photos, but no easy way to enter the name. (I'll do some more hunting while waiting for that answer.) Another thing is has anyone come up with an EXIF editor link anywhere out there? I'd like to batch process my existing photos and stamp them "Copyright MINE MINE MINE" and so forth. Finally, just a simple note: Not one of your photos on these two pages has any EXIF data. I thought it'd be nice to see the EXIF data for myself, but it wasn't there.

  Since this question has not been answered properly, I'm thinking of sharing. It has to be done in Canon Remote Capture (installed together with Zoom Browser). On the menu at the top, you will see Camera. It will reveal Camera Setting and if clicked, a dialog box will be shown. At the top, you will see Owner Name. Fill in as you like and all your photos taken in future will have your name in EXIF data. This will ensure that your name always stay with the photo. Hope this helps.

  I recorded a script in Paint Shop Pro Version 8 that inserts a name into the "Artist" EXIF field, then closes the image. This script may then be run in batch mode against a directory of images.

  Okay, still hunting around. I found this one program through www.exif.org that lets me add comments, but comments only. It's fairly fancy in how it displays the image and it's EXIF data. I recommend it for EXIF viewing. Just go to www.exif.org and select the programs link. The program is called Photo Studio.
