Running win 7 and do not know how to rename exiftool (-K) to exiftool.
Any help?
Thanks
I'm a Mac person, but I would guess that it should be as simple as clicking on the name, then deleting the "(-k)". Either that, or right clicking on the application, then selecting "Properties..." and maybe you can change the name there too.

Phil, thanks for the quick reply.
As I said I am running win 7. If I rt click on the name of the above app, all I get is a small window box that gives me the choices of open, cut, copy, delete, properties. No rename.
Click on properties and can't change the name and the attributes are greyed out.
Any other suggestion?
I download the GUI program to use with your program.

Maybe someone else who is more familiar with Windows can shed some light on this.

Looks like you don't have the necessary permissions to perform that operation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/rename-a-file

Uwe, got it. Thank you.
Now that I can get the EXIF data, any more suggestions on what EXIF data may suggest that the original image has be modified, manipulated, changed, etc.

Hi Richard,
If you are interested in changes to the image itself, a good indicator is the JPEGDigest (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Extra.html):
exiftool -jpegdigest test.jpg
Compare the result with a file you know hasn't been modified.

Phil, thank you for your help in using your excellent program.
Part of my interest are the images used as court evidence. It is easy enough for the photographer to say no modifications. The images still need to be verified.
Whether the camera converts the image in the camera to a JPEG file or saves the image as a RAW file for processing off camera, images can be modified or changed by software.
I am trying to understand any tell tail signs of modification and without an original (that may have been modified intentionally or not) it would seem difficult but not impossible.
Any additional thoughts would be welcomed.

Hi Richard,
All you need is any image shot at the same JPEG size/quality for comparison. You can often find original samples at camera test sites like imaging-resource.com
You can also take a look at the metadata using ExifTool (especially its structure with the -htmlDump feature), but it is fairly easy to preserve the original metadata if you know what you are doing.

Can you explain what "Native Digest" is?
Thanks
Richard
NativeDigest is an XMP tag written by Adobe products. I don't know its specific purpose.
