I have released an open source package (Image Metadata Enhancer – IME) to enhance the metadata on a locally stored photo collection.
The software performs reverse geocoding – that is, converting the longitude and latitude metadata into readable location metadata and populates the IPTC location fields which are viewable in Bridge. (Country, State/Province, City and Sub-location). Unfortunately, Bridge does not provide searching of these metadata fields, but it can also populate the IPTC keyword field which can be searched / used as a filter.
The program produces HTML reports of metadata , and also looks for duplicates and a few other things. Metadata is written to JSON files for incorporating into workflow processes.
IME is a “Console” program that works on MacOS, Windows and Linux. To try it out, I recommend you run in “read only” mode first, before doing any updating. It has been tested on JPG images only, but if there is interest, it could be enhanced to support other image formats.
You can download a version from GitHub (and the source code) here.

I hope you find it useful,

Apologies, it is possible to search IPTC fields - I made a mistake in my post.
