Plug-in to Extract Camera RAW Metadata

[_Tuong_Tran_]

Hello,

I am new to Photoshop plug-in development and reading the Photoshop SDK helped a little, but not much.

Because Photoshop doesn't have the tools and also because there are no plugins available that are capable of extracting all or specific metadata from different RAW camera files that my company needs, I am left with the job of writing a plugin to specifically extract the necessary metadata from these RAW camera files.

I am looking through all the categories of different types of plugins(import, export, file format, filter, etc.) that I have to decide that fits the purpose that I am trying to accomplish. Being new at this, I am even stuck there.

So if anyone have some tips that can get me started and help me on my way during development, any help will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'm in the same boat.

I'm also trying to extract some metadata to incorporate into a web gallery template (specifically to show the original filename against the current filename for tracking, and archival cross-reference). Dealing with a large number of images (in the hundreds of thousands) any way to do this would relieve a lot of redundant data entry.

wondering if you found a solution to add metadata via Camera Raw?

(or plugin as you mentioned)
