Thank you for downloading EXIFinfo 0.59beta3.

EXIFinfo generates files containing the information hidden inside
the EXIF files produced by digital cameras. It can make anything
from a simple text summary to a web page complete with thumbnail
images, and because it uses script files the program can be made
to produce just about any format you want. It can also provide
caption files for the splendid image browser Thump.

It is not useful for ordinary JPEGs, or images of any other kind.
This includes digicam files which have been processed in any
way -- most RISC OS applications destroy the EXIF data. Keep your
originals!


                     ***** WARNING *****

This is a beta version, and contains bugs -- some known, many
doubtless to be discovered. You use it at your own risk! Always
keep backups of your valuable image files.

Feedback is needed. If you come across any problems, or if the program
doesn't quite do what you want, please let us know. We're just as
interested in cameras that the program *can* handle as those that
give problems.

There is extensive help inside the application. We've spent some time
and effort over the documentation, and urge you to look at it if you
want to write your own output formats.

And if you do, send them in and we'll include them in future releases.

Love, Chris & Lee
