Hi Reimar,

the JUHAPL library offers exif_reader.pro which is, however, a bit outdated.
For instance I use

spawn,'jpegexiforient '+files[i],ori

to retrieve the information on the image orientation for proper display and

if keyword_set(exif) then spawn,'metacam '+path+files[i],exiftext

for other exposure details.

It is a bit curious that RSI does not offer routines for dealing with EXIF
headers, especially since it is owned by KODAK (they make digital cameras too,
I heard).

regards,

Bringfried
