PhotoUtil

PhotoUtil, developed by Sergej Marsnjak, is a versatile program in its latest version, 1.2, designed for the Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11 operating systems. This software, available for convenient download, is categorized under Photo & Graphics and further subcategorized into Viewers & Editors. Users can simply run it by executing the photoutil.exe file.

This powerful tool offers several unique features not typically found in other commercial software. PhotoUtil excels in the numbering of image files, allowing users to easily renumber images starting from a selected number. This is particularly useful for organizing photos that have been named nonsensically by digital cameras, such as 'PICT2548.JPG'.

Another significant function of PhotoUtil is its ability to manage the file names of images. Users have the flexibility to add prefixes or suffixes and strip characters from the beginning or end of file names. Furthermore, the software corrects and modifies date/time of images, which can be crucial when camera settings are incorrect due to, for example, weak batteries. The program adjusts the date/time of images by a specified difference or sets a specific date/time to selected image files.

JPEG EXIF and XMP metadata management is another strong point. PhotoUtil displays metadata, including additional information like brightness, shutter speed, and focal length. It ensures that metadata is preserved even after editing by saving it into a temporary file and restoring it post-editing. Additionally, users can export metadata to text, HTML, or SQL files. More
