Question

Read barcode or QR code inside image and save it in the file as metadata

Maybe someone can help me with this question...

All product photos contain a barcode or QR-code. It is visible inside the image.

The customer is looking for a way (a plug-in) that is able to find the code inside the image, read it and place the information found in a preselected Metadata field of the image it self.

Can anyone tell me if this already exists or is there anyone who can develop it? If yes, than please let me know

Regards,

Pieter

    Would love to have this feature in LR.

    With facial recognition now featured, is this QR/barcode scanning not more of a possibility?

    QR code reading is a very obscure demand for a photo management application on a desktop machine, but it should be relatively simple for someone to write a plug-in if there's enough commercial interest. There are several open-source C libraries which will read QR codes from a bitmap - e.g. ZBar bar code reader - so the non-LR side of the workflow is already done.
