There’s probably nothing wrong with the standard installation this is just my preference. Which moved exiftool to a more suitable directory. After following Harvey’s instructions, I also did sudo mv /usr/bin/exiftool /usr/local/bin/ One thing I didn’t like about the installation was that it put the exiftool command-line program in /usr/bin, which I think should be reserved for Apple-supplied programs. I chose 1 the Unix installation so I’d have standard access to the libraries if I wanted to write my own programs. Mac users can install ExifTool using either the Mac instructions (which install from a package) or the Unix instructions (which install through a Makefile). ExifTool is a Perl library with a command-line application that can do all kinds of reporting and surgery on the metadata in your image files. The first thing to do is download and install Phil Harvey’s extensive ExifTool system. So now you have a bunch of photos with screwed-up metadata. Let’s say, just for argument’s sake, that when you got that new camera shortly after the first of the year, you mistakenly set its clock to the year 2008 instead of 2009.
