Photographer's Plea For Help: Looking for simple command to list image file EXIF

[djjc]

I have used Phil Harvey's EXIF Tool many, many years ago to produce a list of the EXIF data in selected image files. However I have not used this tool for 5+ years and I have totally forgotten what I did and what command I used  (possible because now I am a "senior" and things do not come back to mind as quickly as they did).

I am currently using Fuji X cameras and I am frequently using Fuji Simulations for the JPEGS. Unfortunately, none of the common image viewers that I have tried, even Capture 1 Ver 20 Fujifilm, will inform me that for any specific image file what the Fuji simulation used was!

Here's hoping that someone on this forum is currently doing someone like I want.  Basically I would like a simple command that I can use on a image (JPEG) that will result in providing me with a detailed list, meaning all the data, that is associated with my Fuji images.

I believe, when I did use Phil's ExifTool many years ago the command may have been something like this:  List Exif Metadata......  However,  I am not sure, plus I do not recall how I used that command, if that indeed was the command?

Hi Don,

There are many ways to do this.  The easiest way is to download the Windows .exe version of ExifTool, then drag and drop the JPG file on the "exiftool(-k).exe" application.  It will then open a window showing you all the metadata.

Try
exiftool -EXIF:All -Makernotes:all /path/to/files/
