Tag data from a .jpg

ksp · October 23, 2011, 12:27pm

i am reading a folder of .jpg photos and showing them sequentialy or randomly on the screen.

how can i retrieve the tag data from within the .jpg file.

eg. i get the title, the model and the photographers’ name from the tags and display them over the image.

thanks

this is probably a good case for a simple dynamic plugin. with a googlesearch like this it could be quite straightforward to realize your goal.
